An Eloquent Discourse Delivered TO

An Eloquent Discourse Delivered TO
His Congregation.
The Rev. Wallace Radcliffe, d. D., pastor
or the New York Avenue Prestyteriap
Church, delivered the second OF a seTlef
OF dlscourseS on The Cities Of the Bible,
last evening, before large congregatiOL
at that church. The fate OF Coperuiuun
as an example OF the dire results OF not
proriting by the privileges and Opportunt
Ties aITorded US was made the basis Of
his argument, which was made applicabIR
TO every day life.
DR.. kadciue took his text from Mat.
thew. Xi.23, And thou Copernium, which
art exalted unto heaven. slaH be broucns
down TO hell" The word of God he said,
has been fulfilled. CUpernfum has been
utterly destroyed SCION, " nicn for 4
Ike reason, not taking advantage of ths
privileges given to il, was DESTROYED. but
we know OF II. It's site is well IGCat ted,
but not so with Copernium Not a vestlss
OF 1t remains, nothing To define where n
was-thOugh exalted unto hea ven. II sha II
go down To hell"
Ine fate OF the privileged CITY, Dr. Rad
cllffe said, calls To mind the lessons ~
To-Day, Some souls have more light than
others; some people have more privileges
than Others and some ages have more
advantages and opportunities than these
others, To understand our relations IA
GOD, however, It must be recognized that
tie means that we should use to the
utmost the privileges and opportunities
granted Us Men comfort themselves with
the fact that they act right, but the re-
verse Of this, DR.. Radcliffe said, was true
II the heart Is not right, no matter what
the action Is, the life cannot be right
tnbeiievinG Is the rejectiOn of Christianity;
1t Is the hesitancy. the waiting, the post
ponement which takes from Christ tina
crown, For he who beIieveth not is con-
demned already.
In conclusion DR.. Radcliffe said men
are making their own hell casting fuel
upon the fire which shall burn forever
within them on the other hand, We can
make our heaven out or the privileges
granted and opportunities given US bv
fostering kindly thoughts and Christian
spirit.

SOCIETY NOTES.

Socially, this week bids fair to rival the
dullress OF last. Everything, SO far, has
been Of the most informal character and
IL it were not Tor the large number vf
weddings early November would be ex.
ceedingly quiet for the fashionable clans.
There is also most observable dearth of
Afternoon tea cards; so that 1t must be
true of Washington, as elsewhere, that teas
have had their day. Even the debutantes
show dilatoriness in announcing the
dates OF taeir coming out which sub rosa
IS something to be thankful for, for nov
could everybody's friend do proper honor
to the buds until the brides are happily
out Of the way?

Experiences of Rev. Clay Huston

Rev. Clay Huston, Presbyterian mis-
sionary in China, spoke on the advance OF
the Christian religion in that empire, at the
Central Presbyterian Church last night. be-
fore a small congregation. Mr. Huston is
a missionary OF fifteen years experience
in China, and his discourse was very inter
esting. He said that Christianity was
surely, but slowly, gaining a Formidable
hold in the empire. There were thousands
of obstacles being thrown In the way OF
the missionaries there, but Notwithstanding
all the efforts to suppress the IA the worJ;
was going on with satisfactory results.
He said that at times his work was very
diScouraging, but by little perseverance,
he accomplished much for religion.
The Chinese worshiped their idols. he
said, with devoutness and fervnr that
was astonishing and it was no easy task
to bring them into the right path. There

school is divided into sections.
Every member is brought in the
responsibility of work distributed
so that no one can feel that there
is nothing fol- her to do. The
leaders are specially benefited, as
they get full benefit of the subjects
discussed from time to time in
making the necessary preparations
for conducting the exercises, and
by exercising their gifts in lead
ing, they become accustomed to
the work, so that when they pass
out from college halls, they are
prepared to enter upon active
work in the church.
The college league is like a
beautiful garden, we'll watercd and
tended, set apart and protected
from the intrusiOns of the outside
world. Incorporated in the other
college rules and regulations, it
receives the same constant atten-
tions as the other duties. For
often religious duties are hardly
considered duties, and are disre-
garded and left undone, and moth
ing thought of it. Not so in the
college league work. A leader ap-
pointed by the president, feels
that she must do the work required
OF her. Each member feels that
she must perform her part, just as
she prepares her daily recitatiOns
or fuliills any other school duty.
In the literary department of
the league, the college league has
special advantages, as the literary
teachers are we'll able and willing
to give any help needed. There is
no department in the general
league work that cannot be found
in college league. In our league
we have even the "Charity aud
Help Department" and when we
leave. our college home we vill
take with us as a "bright picture
on memory's WALL" the CHEEKY
face of the chairman Of that de-
partment in our league, Always
on hand to encourage a girl when
she needs it, sending verses and
words of love to those who are in
trouble. Many little thoughtful
deeds ofkindness may be done by
this department, and the golden
cord of charity or love, serves
only to draw us all nearer to each
other, and nearer our blessed
Christ.
We think the College League
will play an important part in
changing the sentiment of the
people of the world in regard to
the knowledge of Gods Holy
Word. Many who would be
ashamed of their irignorance of any
other subject, seem to think moth.
ing Of their ignorance Of the Bible.
In a college where the Bible is
studied as a text book, the lessons
prepared as other lessons, the
topics discussed in the league
work, the dullest girl will learn
much of this sacred book and its
teaching, and will notice and con-
demn ignorance Of this the shook
/ Of books in others.
May the time speedily come
when the study Of Gods Holy
Word is universsl among the
young people, and may our col
,Ilege league work help to bring
that day nearer.
