THE GOSPEL IN INDIA.
President Ewing, of the College at
Lahore, Makes an Address.

The CONGREGATION at the Tabernacle
Church Yesterday morning listened to
missionary talk given by Rev. DR.. Ewing,
of Lahore India. DR.. Ewing has been en-
gagged in missionary labors in India Tor
eighteen years and is at present president
Of the Christian College at Lahore Or.
Ewing took for his text the 18TH 18th and
18th verses of the tenth chapter of Romans,
For whosoever shall call upon the name
of the Lord shall be saved How then shall
they call on Him, in whom they have not
believed, and how shall they believe in Him
of whom they have not heard. and how
shall they hear without a preacher? And
how shall they preach, except they be sent,
as it is written, how beautiful are the feet
of them that preach the gospel of peace,
and bring glad tidings of good things"
DR.. Ewing said that there were two
things which the Eindoos of India devout-
ly believed, the depravity of women and
the sanctity of the cow. Hindooism is not
a religion, but social system. The speaker
stated that the population Of India is 267,-
600, 600 and of this number 2,2S4,000 are Chris
tians The Hindoos believe in the new
birth. and persons who have committed
certain sins are changed into animals when
they die perfect woman hopes TO be
changed into q man when she is reborn.
Mr.. Ewing sang one or the hymns or the
missionaries, and pictured the motley crowd
that would gather around when a street
meeting was held. The missionaries, he
claims should be Intelligent courageous
men and women, for they have to contend
with many difficulties in their work. AT
the street meetings it is not unusual to
have a Mohammedan interrupt the speak
er and ask questions pertaining to the
Trinity, the resurrection, etc, and the man
who cannot give an intelligent answer suf-
fers. Another difficulty is IN preaching the
gospel by persons from a new country to
those who lay so much stress on ancestry
and to a nation SO old and civilized.
great many OF the people of India can
read and write well. There are many
thoughtful and earnest men, who have
learned that their religion is not true and
ask what we are going to give them. The
the natives learning of Christ and the
trouble which they had with their families
and friends to keep steadfast. There are
men and wives, now Christians, who have
given up their wages and who go about
preaching the gospel and living on the con-
tributions of people among whom
they work. The caste line in
India is being. broken down through
the advance of the English in the
country and the Introduction of the rail-
way carriage. DIR. Ewing recommended the
reading of Julian Hawthorne's articles in
the Cosmopolitan descriptive of life in
India. The salaries of many of the mission
aries have had to be cut this year and
many missionaries called home on account
of the lack of funds to carry on the work
There are 100000 men and women in India
this year who cannot hear the missionaries

instead of extended. AT the close of the

Episcopal Conference to its depths to-day
by the Introduction of strong resolutions
on the temperance question, wherein he
of prohibition. The resolutions also touched
upon the semi-nude pictures which grace
some of Uncle Sans paper money, and the
remarks of Mr.. Evans brought down upon
his head the STRUCTURES of some of his
brethren, who believed his language too
strong.
Mr.. Evans said one reason why he wished
the Methodist ministers to leave the prohi-
bition question was that he wanted to be
consistent IN opposing any activity by the
Roman Catholic clergy in politics by alb
staining from the same custom themselves.
The only portion of the resolutions which
met with favor was that indorsing the
anti-saloon league movement. The pream-
bic to the resolutions claimed that the
Methodist Church has not always been wise
nor consistent in it's welfare against the
liquor traffic. making the ballot box the
battle-ground, While large part OF tne
ministry and lafty entirely ignored the
question on election day and that while

DIR. GaIusha Anderson breaches the
Communion Sermon.
The seventy-ffth anniversary of the
First Baptist Church was celebrated yes
terday with interesting and appropriate
service. At the services morning and even
ing scores of people were unable to gain
admission. AT night members of the con-
gregation, who had been furnished with
tickets, were first admitted through the
side door, after which the front doors We're
thrown open to the public. Communion
service was celebrated in the morning, Rev
Galusha Anderson, of the Chicago Univer-
sity delivering the communion sermon
from Isaiah ILL., 8, He is despised and re-
jected of men, a man Of sorrow and ac-
qUainted with grief
DR.. Anderson said that the great reason
that Christ was deSpised and rejected was
because He was misunderstood He said
that this is too often the case, and referred
to historical instances to show that great
men, coming to the world with some new
and great truth, are rejected by the multi
tude and are misunderstood by their
friends, that they live lonely sorrowful
lives. To such there is consolation and
comfort in the knowledge that they have
not been alone in this respect, and that the
Great Master was himself rejected by men,
Christ was misunderstood in the first place
because He was far in advance of His time
and again because He was divine Even
John the Baptist, who was ChristS second
cousin, and who had been more or less as
ISOLATED with Him, was not able to fathom
His character and mission. The preacher
spoke of the consolation that this truth
gives to men when they are misunderstood
rejected and reviled for teaching the truth
when they are in trouble and distress, and
In the hour of death.
At the evening" service DR.. Anderson
preached the anniversary sermon. The pro-
gramme at night included anniversary
hymn written by Rev.S. NJ. Dyer, the oldest
eX-pastor of the church.

MOORHEAD, Mimi, Sept. 26.-The west
bound passenger train on the Northern
Pacific Railway was held UP three miles
north Of here at an early hour this morn
ing 1t is said the express car carried
large sum of money which the robbers
failed to secure owing to a blunder in cut
ting off the cars. The robbery was the cool
est piece of work imaginable. Engineer
Hoover just after pulling out Of Glyndon
noticed man on the front platform OF the
mail car. A few moments later the robber
climbed over the tank and at the muzzle
of a pistol compelled the engineer to apply
the brakes. Three other robbers then came
forward, bringing in the conductor and
brakeman All mounted the engine, which
was again started west. The robbers sat
on the tank and ordered the engineer to
keep her moving" Not until the train
reached Moorhead was it known that the
engine and mail car had been cut off from
the rest of the train. Then the robbers dis
covered that they had not cut deep enough
into the train and had failed to secure the
treasure said to have been in the express
safes. Tt'Ay rapidly despoiled the crew OF

draw at home. He was OF a high moral
character and possessed an exquisite purity
of life. He was pure in thought and act.
He was q great poet. but not among the
highest. He had great melody in verse
and was q master of versLHcation, a writer
Of lyric and epic poetry. He reached the
heart of the people, because he interpreted

of Mr. ongfellow were shown as well
illustrations of several of his poems and the
characters which he introduced in his po-

verses of the poem written by Lowell as a
tribute TO the poet:

TIME FOR AN EXPERIMENT.
Mr.. Cumback Suggests Remedy for
a Church Trouble.


a Church Trouble.
To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal;
see in an Indianapolis paper the fol-
lowing extract from a speech of Bishop
Fowler to the candidates for the ministry
in the Indiana Conference. L assume it is
a correct report of his address and l COM
mend this language as true and timely
'If you elect an incompetent man. you
have doomed him to a HE OF huInli IA
ton and disgrace. For IL lhey are
admitted to this travelling connection there
is no authority in the Discipline to diS-
pose of them. While they remain IN the
efficient ranks we must give them employ
ment, and we send them out to tomahaWk,
scalp and kill q church, and at the end
of the year shall be obliged to put them
in some other charge to tomahawk, scalp
and kill. Then it will take the work Of a
good man his whole time to bring that
church up again to where 1T was when II
was handed over to the scalper.
We cannot put him out except for reason,
and after fair trial.
But suppose some layman had said this
at our lay convention, what a roasting he
would have received from some of the
preachers! He would have been denounced
as not only being disloyal to the church,
but as a hereto. We Iaymen think we have
the remedy for this unfortunate condition
of affairs. If we were permitted to have
an equal voice in the general manage
ment of the churchill we, who have been
tomaha wked and scalped, might have
word IN the annual conferences and show
how we have been wounded and how many
have been slain, it might be that some plan
might be found to stop the slaughter.
IL the preacher can ind no authority in
the Discipline TO dispose of them, perhaps
with aid CT the laymen who are compelled
10 support these scalpers that the bishop
eloquently describes, some amendments
might be made to the Discipline that would
be efIectual. l think the time has come to
make this experiment.

congregations have been maintained. if
