DIVORCE OF SEPARATION.
Sermon of DIR. Thomas at the Asbury
Church.

An immense audience Of white and cotored
people assembled at Asbury NJ f. Church,
Eleventh and K streets northwest, last
evening, to listen to a special discourse by
DR.. Thomas. the pastor, on Divorce or
Separ atlcn.'
The doctor took for his text, Second
Corinthians, 6:14: BE We not unequal.y
yoked together II is surprising to note,
he said, the large number Of persons who
obtain divorces throughout these United
States in one year, saying nothing of the
still larger number who separate and never
apply for divorce. Divorce cases have
Iaultiplied $50 greatly in the last decade,
that some persons have regarded marriage
as a failure. Nothing, however, that God
institutes is failure The people need
a proper conception of marriage and
willingness to be guided in their selection
by the advice OF the Apostle Paul Why
persons divorce or separate is the main
point In question:
We would say in the first place, because
many fail TO comprehend what marriage
really means They have never given the
subject q serious considera ton. The test
of love is To come after the ceremony. The
legal and reli ligious bearing of the institu-
ton should be thoroughly Considered. All
persons who contemplate marrying should
bear in mind that marriage is not human
invention, nor a merely social or conven-
tional arrangement. but an institution of
God. None, therefore, should enter into
the contract until having gsatisfiedthenselves
that they cankeep their part. and that they
have studied the other party SO thor
oughly until they have every reason to be-
lieve that they will keep theirs
The preacher then enumerated various
causes for the separations that happen be-
tween man and wife, among them; because
they united upon spasmodic affection: be-
cause they are unequaily joined together:
elements of disposition cruelty; jealousy;
neglect of domestics; extravaganza, etc,
and finally said
''Since there is no human connection that
has so high and holy a significance as
that between husband and wife, it being
declared by divine inspiration to be
figure of the spiritual wedlock between
Christ and his church, its sacredness should
be regarded by all. 1t should not, there
fore, be entered upon merely for the sake
of earthly convenience, but to promote our
true interests in time and eteruity."

Needs of Christian Perseverance, as
Preached by DIR. Easton.


The ceremonies of reinstailation of elders
and ordination of deacons of the Eastern
Presbyterian Church were performed yes
terday by Rev. Dr. Chalmers Easton, pastor
Of that church.
The elders, who were reinstated for a
period of three years. are: Il. T. Welsh,
c. s Mclaughlin, and Thomas G. Stewart
The deacons. who were ordained, are: A.
e. Drane, F. NJ. buckingham, and ID. T.

cordance with the ritual of the Presby
terian Church, and the ordination was i'm
posed by hands
Rev. DR.. Easton delivered a sOrceful
sermon ON the theme of Christian pesSe-
yerance. His text was, This is not the
work of day or two days" He told
the story of the trials of Columbus and
of Cyrus Field in the accomplishments of
their purposes. He told of the nlooto
which hangs in the private office Of phila-
delphia merchant prince, which reads, Try
Again. He maintained that perseverance
is a necessity in spiritual growth.
The soul was paramount. He told OF the
difficulties which men found in irving
to ke off bad habits and condemned
many examples of what IS sometimes called
art. He charged that printers ink and
painters brushes were greater factors in the
corruption OF morals than were the tongues
of infidels. 1t required perseverance to
conquer bad habit He spoke of the
moral growth OF the saints and said that
Jacob was .'scheming rascal when he
first appeared in history

AT THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
Pastors Appeal In Behalf of a
New Place of Worship.

The Rev E b. Bagby, pastor of the
Ninth Street Christian Church, preached
an interesting sermon yesterday morning
on the subject of giving. 1t was timely
and strong appeal for funds for the erec-
ton of new temple of worship, Its ef-
fectivehess was manifested by the numer-
Gus and generous donations offered, there
being scarcely member of the congrega-
ton present who did not contribute.
The Rev Dr. Bagby took for his text
the words of st. Mark, She hath done what
she could This had special reference
to the gift of money to the Master at the
Last Supper, when she took her box or
valuable ornaments and broke 1t over
the head of Christ. 1t was all she had TO
give, said DR. Bagby, but she gave it, nat
grudgingly, but freely and without the
expectationof rev ard
DR.. Bagby then quoted several passages
of Scripture To illustrate the great consid-
eratlon always at all places and among
all people given to giving.
Hethen spoke of the great progress made
by the congregation during the last six
years. 1t was plain to everyone that it
had increased far beyond the accommoda-
tions offered by the present building, and
as a consequence everyone saw the urgent
necessity for larger edifice; not only
for the convenience OF the present MEM
bership, but for the use OF those who
are TO come
The present structure, at the corner OF
ID and Ninth streets northeast, was in
tended to accommodate congregation of
300. The membership has now increased
to nearly 700, and often large numbers
find it impossible to gain admission to the
services
At meeting of the trustees, held last
Wednesday evening, DR. Bagley said It
was decided to erect a more commodious
building, at an estimated cost OF about
$4,000. Plans were submitted by the
building committee and accepted by the
congregation, and nothing now remained
but to collect the funds and proceed with
the work.
DIR. Bagby called upon the members for
donations for the proposed new. cdifice,
and the responses were quick and liberal
The first heard from was the Ladies'
Aid Society, which contributed $500
Next came Mrs. Kimball with $500 The
500 list was started by Dr. Bagby, and
increased by subscriptions OF 500 each
from Messrs Pratt, Yeager, Arnold, Mrs
Emmons. Bradley and Boyd Class No s
pledged $50 window, and Messrs Scott
and Lemon gave $50 each Then came a
score or more of S25 contributions: then
the 81 5, SO, So and ST. subscriptions,
making a total of nearly $4,000 pledged
yesterday morning
The work of construction will begin as
soon as the $4,000 mark in subscriptions
has been reached

Dead Theosophist.


The Blavatsky Theosophic Society met

to commemorate the anniversary Of the
death of Madam Havatsky, the founder
of modern theosophy, who died in 1891 :
Mr.. George N Coffin, president. presided.
and the fifty odd members forming the
local society, were present, many of them
accompanied by friends. The principal ad-
dress of the evening was made by Major
James Albert Clark. president OF the Re
publican Editorial Association, Of Mary
land, who spoke of the life work Of
Madam Blavatsky and her influence upon
modern thought.
Another interesting talk was given by
Mr.. Coffin, who took for his theme the
characteristics OF Madam Blavatsky, as
a woman rather than a theosopfiist, de-
falling several Incidents, one OF which was
especially indicative of her goodness aud
practical way of showing it.
