FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.

At the First Baptist Church the speak
ers were Rev. NJ. P. Boynton, Rev. Cort-
land Myers OF Brooklya. n. Y, and Rev.
Joseph W. Cochran OF Madison, Wis. The
subject fo- the evening was Life Filled
With the Spirit" and DR.. Myers told how
needful was that quality in the life of a
young Christian worker. How many
lives" said he, "are lifeless in that re-
spect. There are just three steps for the
Christian to take, which are: Make no
compromise; fear no sacrifice; expect no
failure.
"FiIl upyour spirit life, smash your idols
and out of them will come the richest
jewels which you may possess. Fear no
sacrifice, it is the dying to live"
Rev. Joseph W. Cochran spoke on the
same subject and with his eloquence held
the close att ntion of his audience 10 the
end of his discourse. He told them that
this grand gathering, with its flags and its
colors, would all be shoddy anc sham if
The fullness of the spirit of God was not
here.

FIRST CONGREGATIONAL

At the First Congregational Church,
Rev. George c. Adams, DID,, pastor. pre-
siding, a large audience was present to
witness the operfing services previous to
the convention.
After the PRAYER by DR.. Adams Bishop
Alexander Walters, DID,, OF Jersey City,
n. j., was introduced and made a very
uoll shed and iorceful sermon on the gem
eral theme of the evening.
'For centuries" he said, there was
part of man that could not be under
>tood-the soul. AL the philosophers
made learned and laborious dissertations
on it, and yet none of them touched the
right chord.
Nor was any real light shed on the
subject until the coming of Christ. Christ
is the author of all life, both natural and
spiritual, and It was to him that we had
to look for a solution of the enigma. The
result of his comm was the salvation of
man, and it Is for the salvation OF human
souls tnat the Endeayorers are banded to.

the visitors at various churches last
evening.
The exterior of Calvary Presbyterian
Church was ornamented with yellow bunt-

extended over the entire entrance, and
was parted and draped at each door arch.
Above the entrance were three shields
bearing the words, Maine Christian En-

the auditorium the National colors pre-
dominated. Bunting of patriotic c0lors
was gathered and draped behind the altar,
exposing only background OF dark red

gether. Let US go away from this conven-
tion with the knowledge that we have
learned better than before how TO engage
in the work of the Master"
Rev. Nehemiah Boynton, DID,, of De-
troit, Mich, was the next speaker.
Though the atmosphere of the church was
rather warm by this time he proved him
self fully equal to the task of holding the
attention of his auditors.
Christian life, he said, sis a moving
life; it is an inspiring life. Iniquity does
not sing out grand old hymns like we
have just heard. So pure an atmosphere
OF all that is good in man is found only in
the fold of Christ.
"a Christian life cannot be satisfied
with that which is common. We are
always to be found forging anead for the
thing that is higher still, nearer to the
throne ofthe Almighty. So it is THAI this
grand convention in point of mum bers will
be fruitIess If we do not learn more fully
while we are here the lesson OF Christ and
the way to rescue the falIen.''
The services of the evening were end ed
with the singing of Nearer, NV God, to
Thee" and the benediction by DR.. Adam.

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN.

AT the First Presbyterian Church the
services were in charge OF Rev. E. h
jerks, the assistant pastor the speakers
being Rev. E. L. Rowell of Louisville, KY,
and Rev. George T. Pentecost of Yonkers,
n. Y. The services opened with singing
by a special choir under the direction of
Professor ]. c. Hughes, after which Rev.
Mr.. jerks led in prayer and introd uced
the speakers.
Rev. M. Rowell spoke of the Endeav.
orers as acting in the capacity of prophets
but bade them not be discouraged if they
did not see immediate results of their
work. Christ had ordained that some
should be prophets AMI others preac ers.
Preaching could be OF no avail, he said
unless they were really speaking what
they felt and not talking religion in a
mere mechanical way. While it is de-
sira BILE that all should be prophets, still aIl
must work as common people speaking to
common people, and the work will be
plentifully rewarded.
Rev Mr.. Pentecost spoke more par
ticularly for the need OF intensity in all
things without which the work OF spread
ing Christ's gospel could be of no avail.
He outlined strongly the d Inference be-
tween simply saying prayers and going to
the throne of God and asking what was
wanted.
''The life filled with the Spirit is the life
meant by the Master when he assembled
life designed by him to be realized, one
which il we intend 10 be a Christian
must be lived. 1t is a religious, super
natural beginning. middle and end, which
came down from heaven to mana reli-
gion whose impulses are from within and
not from without"
He spoke of the phenomenal gathering
of 200 young people on this coast as
something which no mere human attrac.
ton could have drawn. There must be
something spiritual to bring all these
people over s1ch wearsome journey to
work together for Christ

They Refuse to DO Reliable Work When
Placed In High Buildings.


There is one disadvantage about very
tall buildings which is just now being
noticed by the occupants. 1t is perhaps
a small! disadvantage, but still is worth
considering, as it involves some annoy
ance TO those who have not made pro-
vision for it, says the New York Times.
The trouble referred 10 is the stop
ping of pendulum clocks by the vibrn-
ton of the buildings. Many pendu-
lum clock that has kept accurate time
for years in old-fashioned low struc-
lures has refused to run AT all when
moved into some one of the new tall
steel-framed buildings in the lower
part of the city. On the lower floors OF
the buildings the clocks run fairly
well, but when higher up in the buiiG-
ings, they become more whimsical,
and on the top floors will not run at all.
Mr.. Dunn, of the weather bureau, has
fine pendulum clock in the tower Of
the Manhattan Life building, which has
not done an honest days work since the
weather bureau was moved into the
new Offices. 1t has stopped so often
that it is 10 longer to be relied upon.
The pendulum swings continually, but
only from the vibration of the building.
as the clock has not been wound for
weeks. The only relief is in replacing
the pendulum clocks with others that
have balance wheels.

in Jne laDDJ populatioH wnlcn each
year does greater destruction to foliage
and crops, says the New York Journal.
Mr.. Pond, the Queensland government
bacteriologist, has beewengaged by the
Central Rabbit association to conduct
series of experiments for the whole
sale destruction of the rabbits by moe
ulation.
The tests will be made in territory
comprising about 300 acres. This plot
will be divided into three parts by as
many wire sections. The inner plot-a
square-will be reserved for the moe
ulation, after which the rabbits will be
turned into the second section, so that
they may be closely studied and
watched. Those which survive longer
period than that allotted by Mr.. Pond
will be transferred to the third section
for more minute study as to the effects
of the incubation. I.
Great secrecy is preserved as to what
virus will be used, so that in case of one
failure another disease may be used to
demonstrate that incubation will
eventually rid the country of the pests.

WHAT AN ENGLISH DUKE COST.
Vanderbilt Is said to Have Paid SI5.OoO,-
900 to the Marlboroughs.

900 to the Marlborougha
Fifteen millions is the price of q real
frst-class duke. At least that is what
the New York World says Mr.. w. X. Van
derbilt paid FOR the honor of allying his
family name with that of the ancient
house of Marlborough.
This statement, says The World. is
made on the unqhestionable authority
of an English gentleman visiting in
Washington who has been in position
to know all the facts. His account is
.c,,,.-mstantial and undoubtedly cor.
rect.
The terms of the settlement were
$4,000, 000--or. to speak with absolute
accuracy, the income Of 10000, 0o0--on
Mr.. vanderbilt's daughter during her
.:tetime and $5,ooo,ooo on the duke. II
children are born they will inherit the
mothers portion at her death, If the
marriage shall be without issue this
e1o,000,00o will revert on the death OF
the duchess.
But the dukes s., 900, 900 is to be his II,
any event.
The settlement was not made in cash.
but in investments for the benefit OF
the duke and duchess. These invest
n.ents are principally in the stocks and
bonds of the Lake Shore and other Van
derbilt railroads.

NJ. Z. MILFORD,
JAMES B. BURCKHALTER, Com.
A. y. GREEN,

Il NEGRO by the name OF Brooks,
IA hailing from Van Buren,, Ark,
committed a brutal outrage upon the
fifteen year old daughter OF Samuel
Combs, on Big Creek, some % miles
northwest of here, last Thursday
night. The fiend went to the house
occupied by the three daughters OF
Combs, the fifteen year old one being
the eldest, who it seems, were living
alone. Combs married recently; he
and his wife were conducting small
store a mile or so away from the farm
where the little girls were left alone.
The negro went to the house about IL
o'clock at night and attacked the
largest one of the girls; the other two
ran out and gave the alarm but when
they returned with help the villain
had fed. He stole horse from d
farmer living near by and escaped;
the animal returned next day TO its
owner. The negro made his way into
the house and when the girl awoke he
was sitting upon the side of the bed,
holding her hands. She began to
struggle and scream, directing the next
younger sister to light a lamp. This
the assailant prevented and the sec
ond girl, aged ten or eleven, took her
younger sister aged five and ran out of
the house and hid in the corn, laying
down upon the child to cover her
white night clothes from sight. As
she ran she saw the negro knock the
oldest girl down with a club, and in
his search he passed close TO the young
er children several times. The eleven
year old child went at once to neigh
bor's a quarter of a mile away and
quickly gave the alarm, and very soon
the entire neighbOrhood was apprised
of what had occurred and engaged in
search. A doctor could not be found
until some twenty hours after the
assault and his latest judgment was
that the victim could not recover.
The blow upon the head he regarded
as fatal, added to the other injuries
inflicted. The girl regained conscious
ness at times and identified Brooks
fully, and she had full opportunity to
know him as he had worked on the
place that morning. He was aware Of
the fact that Combs had gone to Cof
| feyyille that day. The neighbors are

@KLAHOMA and Texas officers
W are making a great deal Of noise
about knowing where the bandits are
who robbed the Rock Island train, and
are, if they are to be believed, going
to capture them directly. The facts
are that while two weeks ago they
were near Tulsa, they are now right
below US, on Spayinaw. 1t will not
cost ten dollars to locate their camp
(there are six of them at presentl and
it can be done in two days. These
railroad and express company detec-
tiyes make a great deal of buster, but
they are not the fellows who land the
game. A few years ago the katy"
had a red-headed man named Kinney
who might have expected to whip ali
the train robbers who could be got
together, judging from his cOnyerSa-
tion, and yet one night when he and
Capt. Charley Leflore were both on
board with full quota Of men, the
Dalton boys "held up" the train at
Adair aud got everything there was
worth having. One of these days some
officer who has not been doing any
loud talking will bring these men into
tOwn-and perhaps have TO bury them
and then sue for the rewards offered.
