THE SOCIAL SWAMP"
Pessimistic Address by az Reverend
SensatiOnnlist from Chicago.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Oct. 1.-THE In
terstate Civic Philanthropic Conference
closed tonight after six days of sessions
which were successful as to attendance and
interest manifested Nearly all topics on
the programme were animatedly discussed
More than $500 people were present to-
day An address by Rev. S. Sherin, of Chi
cago. secretary of the conference, created
a sensation. His topic was How to Drain
the Social Swamp" He said that the social
sewer is the greatest evil OF to-day In
Christianity should lie the cure. but the or
ganized Christian church is a failure Only
per cent. of the world Is touched by Chris
tianity. The present church does not touch
the greater evils. Plans to heal wrongs
Chinese city are tWenty-Seven sects, but
paganism does not know they are there. In
Michigan only one man out OF a dozen goes
to church; still many are moved by the
spirit of Christ who are true Christians, al
though supporting no sect. Despite adverse
criticism, no church is doing so great phi
lanthropic work to-day as the Catholic, yet
masses, solos and sermons Will never ac-
complish what is needed; churches burdened
with debt cannot easily help others. In
temperance is thriving, despite efforts or the
church. More beer and whisky are being
consumed than ever before. The w. G. r.
u. was organized and sent thrill through
the land but 1t has gone into political trick
cry, and will never put down the traffic
The Y. NJ. c.. A meant to do good, but Is
corpse as a philanthropic movement It Is
a fraud though as a club is entertaining.
There are quarrels over the officers, etc.s
but no real good is done"

CHEST OF GOLD FOUND.
The Late Captain Lemon Forgot to
Mention 1t i'm His VIII.

WASHINGTON, Oct 17-"You may talk
about the wonderful discoveries of gold in
the Klondike region said a prominent
lawyer, but one of the richest gold finds of
the year occurred here in Washington. l
will not mention names but the gentleman
referred to was known all over the country
as one of the wealthiest pension agents and
publishers of the present day.
"A short time after he died his executors
were engaged in making an examination of
his effects His will had been drawn care
fully and all his real and personal proper
ty was supposed to be distributed among
his relatives and friends according to his
last wishes One day in clearing out the
safe in the building which still bears the
captains name an old chest was discovered
in one of the dark corners of the vault. 1t
had been there for years and was supposed
to contain only some plates and drawings
Of war pictures, used in connection with
book of war stories. The executors had
passed the old chest by without examining
It's contents, supposipg, of course, that it
contained nothing but the plates and draw
ingS as indicated by the marking on the
outside One of the clerks engaged in the
work had curiosity enough to take a peep
into the chest When the loose drawings
were removed a sight met his gaze that
fairly took his breath away. There, at the
bottom of the chest, was an immense pile of
more than $50 600.
There were gold pieces Of every denom-
nation from 81 to so. The discovery was
so unexpected that the executors were at a
loss for some time to account for the pile
of treasure. The latest will was carefully
scrutinized but nothing in 1t could be found
relative to the unlooked-for gold deposit.
Various theories were advanced to explain
the accumulation of coin. and it finally was
concluded that the captain had followed the
example of other cautious capitalists dur
ing the last raid on the treasury gold re-
serve and had boarded the amount found
in the chest. The coin looked as though it
might have been dropped into the chest
carelessly for the various denominations
were in confusion. The executors were una
BILE to account for the omission of the gold
pile in the will, for although the captain
was a great spender, he usually kept a
clear account of his securities. 1t is possi-
BILE that he may have been engaged in
boarding gold pieces for a rambler Of years
prior TO his death, and when his fateful ill
ness came on he may have forgot the gold
lining to the old chest containing the war
pictures OF course, the gold was carefully
counted and entered up as a very desirable
part of the estate.
The pension agent referred to will be rec
ognized readily as the late Captain George

The pulpits of many of the local churches
were Occupied by visiting clergymen in at
tendance on the Christian convention, and
the audiences without exception were large.
While the several thor sand delegates who
are in the city spent much of their time
yesterday IN attendance at divine worship,
many of them found occasion to take
view of the city and to visit Butler College,
which is one of the leading educational in
situations of the church. Nearly all of
them were present at the communion serv
ice at Tomlinson Hall, and many of the
ladies attended the o'clock prayer meeting
at the Central Church. The social feature
of the present gathering is one of its great
est characteristics. AS most of the dele
gates are being entertained at the homes of
the local church members, the opportunities
for social intercourse are greatly enhanced
and there is every evidence that the visitors
are reaping much pleasure as we'll as profit
by reason of their stay in the city One
particular feature that is noticeable in the
present convention is the absence of any
thing like discord. There is no rivalry
over the Offices and no dssension regard
ing doctrines-it is one of the most peace
able and orderly bodies that has ever met
in the city. Its entire spirit Is the mission
airy one the devising of ways and means
to further the spread Of the gospel and,
having such an unselfsh purpose, there is
no room for cavil.

The o'clock prayer meeting at the Cen
trail Church was presided over by Mrs. A.
K Thurgood, of Pittsburg, the state sec
rotary of the c. w. NJ. b. in Pennsylvania.
The church was crowded and the service
was impressive. In opening the meeting
Mrs. Thurgood called attention to the fact
that the o'clock hour of prayer on Sun
day was one of the institutions Of the C.
w. M. b. when we speak of it," she
said I'VE will be glad to have our hearts
and minds refreshed with the fact that it
was in this city at the thirteenth annual
convention of the c. w. NJ. b. that il was
originated by a suggestion of Brother
Joseph King, of Allegheny. A committee, Of
which Mrs j. X. Rogers, Of Missouri, was
chairman, drew up some recommendations
in reference to il, which recommendations
included a statement as to intelligent pray
er, as to periodical prayer and as to the
benefit of prayer as a means of inspiration
with q world wishing remembrance"

GEN. kNEFLER,s RUBBER COAT.
A War Incident in Which Mr.. Dana
Was n Figure.

The death of Charles A. Dana recalls an
incident of the war in which an Indianapolis
soldier. Gen. Fred Knefler, played part.
The occurrence was one during the assault
by the federal forces on Missionary Ridge.
In the dark hours of the war a thousand
disquieting rumors hoated up to the ma
tioral capital. Drunkenness in the COM
handing generals camp, incapacity, stupid
ity and dozen other offenses in the eye
of military requirement and discipline Were
reported to Washington, not officially, but
in manner that gave the President and his
advisers some uneasiness. Charles A. Dana
at that time was assistant secretary of war.
The President wished to send to the front
some man whom he knew would be absolute
ly trustworthy and on whom he could rely
for unbiased reports as TO the true condi-
tons existing in the armies and in the
various headquarters camps. Dana was
dispatched on this mission
Just before the main attack on the rebel
line covering Missionary Ridge General
Knef1er, who had charge of a brigade in
Woods division, was ordered to take the
rifle pits at the base of the ridge. The rain
was falling and General Knefer wore
rubber coat as he mounted his horse for the
charge few minutes later he concluded
that the coat would be exceedingly cumber
some in the warm work before him. He
turned his horse about to give his coat to
some orderly The first man he saw was
apparently civilian astride horse few
feet away. Here, you; take this coat -
shouted the general, and he tossed the huge
coat almost in the face of the civilian. With
this rather brusque treatment the general
spurred his horse and dashed away to the
fray. That charge on the rifle pits was one
of the features of the campaign near Chat
tanooga, as warm fight as ever a federal
brigade participated in, for it did not end
at the rifle pits. which were depopulated
without much struggle The brigade aft ar
taking the pits found itself under rakng
fire 1t was necessary To retire at once or
proceed w the hill. The latter course Gen.
Kneler pursued. and the army rang with
the courageous feat after the battle. The
man on whom the custodianship of the coat
had been forced unceremoniously was
none other than Dana. assistant secretary
of war.
When John G.. New was consul general at
London several years ago Mr.. Dana called
on him and in chat Mr. New asked him
If he recalled the incident at the storrning

Prohibition the Remedy for Intemperance
He spoke from the words found in Hebrews
ii, Is: WOE unto him that giveth his neigh
Dor drink
The minister held that prohibition is the
only effective way of dealing with the ma
tional evil. The thing needed is an organ
ization of the prohibition element of the
whole country on such a basis that men of
all classes and grades all churches and
creeds and all political faiths and afilia-
tons can join together in sympathy for this
one purpose and stand shoulder TO shoulder
for the attainment of this one end. In the

Rev. George T. Smith, of Chicago, spoke
on THE Rainbow and the Throne" at the
North Park Christian Church, yesterday
morning He said, in part:
I'VE believe the true, hope for the good,
and love the beautiful The rainbow is
sem of beauty. 1t is symbolic of the love
of God 1t surrounds the throne That love
is manifested in the cross. 1t is expressed
in the invitation, Come This is the ten
derness. the gentle wooing of God All
who are weary, heaFtsore and heavily bur
dened are invited to come. But we draw
near the throne, we are driven back There
that sat on the throne was like diamond
and sardine stone white and red. These
colors expressed the judgments of God by
it is the word of authority. The lightnings
Of His wrath, His voice Of command stays
our advance Like the earth drawing near
the sun. when nearest it begins the out
ward journey. Formerly it was thought
that the attraction of gravitation held the
earth in place and sent it swinging around
the SUM- But just when that attraction is
strongest, the earth begins to go the reced-
ing path. and when the suns attractive
force is least, then it turns toward the sun.
Assume that the earth is a magnet that
IT loses its magnetism in space, then since
Ike poles repel and unlike attract, we UNI
derstand that when the earth goes from
the sun II becomes negative till 1t is so far
in that condition it is drawn by the sun.
AS 1t draws near to the sun it becomes pos
tive. thus is repealed and hastens away.
In this see an analogy. The heart, cold and
distant, is invited TO come. When it comes
1t is warmed with the love of God, then
hears the command Co These two. the
invitation and the command, are for every
ore. He is to come to God for strength and
blessing. Then he is to go and preach these
things to Others"
Objections TO missionary enterprise were
considered by the speaker, and in conclu-
sion he expressed the opinion that workers
of the present day were like the workmen
on the huge Hudson river bridge, who are
down far beneath the surface laying f0un-

opinion of the minister urging such an or
ganiZation, il must be broad enough and
simple enough TO include all who favor pro-
hibition, whether Jew or gentle, Romanist
or Protestant, native or foreigner, Repub-
lican or Democrat-such combination in
the nature of things must be nonpartisan
Those who come into it need not leave church
or party or break any other utilization. The
people will never take hold of the temper
ance cause as a mere political policy nor
stir themselves to action until they are over
whelmingly persuaded that there is a neces-
sity for it and that the proposed remedy is
adequate. Radical treatment is needed so
long as temDoriZing or superficial methods
are proposed for dealing with the evil, men
will treat the subject lightly and thrust it
from them without serious thought. Mr..
Tinsey urged that the cause be planted on
the bedrock of eternal Justice where there
could be gathered about it the sympathies,
the prayers and the tears and consideration
of the millions who plead for righteousness.
Buffalo Pastor at Central Avenue.
Rev Floyd Darsie, of the Richland-avenue
Christian Church, of Buffalo, preached at
the Central-avenue Church in the morning.
Mr.. Darsie is a gifted pulpit orator, and
his discourse, which was largely a eulogy
of the Christian martyrs, was full of in
spiration and eloquence. From speaking OF
the early Christians who paid the penalty
of death for their faith he turned his at
tention to the missionaries of modern times,
who have sacrificed their all for the spread
of the gospel. in glowing language he
spoke of the lives of Henry Martyr, Adoni-
ram Judson, Ann Hasseltine, who became
Dr. Judson's wife, Robert and Mary Moffet,
Harriet Newell, James Harrington and 9TH
ers, who achieved fame as torch bearers OF
tlIe faith in heather lands. He also detailed
various deeds of heroism in the lives of
some of the missionaries now in the charge
of the societies of the Christian Church,
among those he spoke of being Miss Robin
son, Miss Judson. Miss Graybiel, Mr.. Clay,
Mr.. Cowden, Mr.. Lawber and Mr.. Lam
harts.
In closing Mr.. Darsie said: ooh, Christian
friends these lives belong to us They form
our heritage. Shall we not link our youth,
our strength, our zeal to this endeavor OF
the past? May the contemplation OF such
lives shame our murmuring, rebuke our
faithlessness and fire us with holy emu
lation to do and dare for Christ and His
church. There is need of the heroic spirit
in our day and age-heroism in the lonely
places of life, in the home. in the shop, in
the streets, heroism unseen and unapplaud-
ed save by God"
