THERE.

Although the weather was oppressivelv
warm Sunday good sized audience of
men gathered ~ y. NJ c. A. hill at 4
O'Clock to hear the address by Rev. Ira
w. .kimmel CD "Northneld, Teachers.
Teachings ana Results" Mr. Kimmel
was full Of his subject and in his usual
happy manner he spoke for some thirty
minutes, much TO the e,,iticntion and in
SEPARATION OF his hearers. He spoke in
brief as follows:
"Northeld is the best place ever saw.
they live what they preach there.
Among all the eight h,ndred persons
who were III attendance saw no tobacco
used in any form; no cards: no intoxicat-
ing drinks, and did not hear single
oath. Men were seen going in every d.
rection with Bibles under their arms and
you were constantly RAINING across
groups of men prying around under the
trees. Mary of the choicest teachers
from all parts of the world gather there
every year; sometimes they have as many
as sixteen services in a single dav, all
we'll attended. One of the most interest
ing features is the sunset meeting on
Round Top, led by prominent business
men, such as III. NJ. Moore. n prosperous
merchant of Boston, ana Col G.. II.
tiadley, OF the New York city missions
Representative missionaries from fifteen
the platform speakers were Bishop New
man, of the VI b. Church, one Of the old
style orators, who spoke Tor IN hour and
half aDd we all wished no would speak
an hour longer. L. WAS he who said that
NOrthiield has done more for the students
of the colleges and universities of Amer
lea than any other institution in exist
ence. Dr. Mali, of the Baptist denomina.
ton. DR.. Morgan and DR.. McGregor, of
IN hot 1,
great power; DR.. a. II. Peirson and DR..
a. 9. Dixon, of Philadelphia and New
York, respectively. and many others.
| These men teach not the doctrine of sim
less perfection but that it IS possible and
our duty to live without willful and pre-
fneditated sin, or what David terms pre-
sumptnOuS sin.
The action of the Holy Spirit on mems
lives was illustrated by the restraining
power of the magnet over the piece of
steel which would otherwise be drawn to
the ground By the law of gravitation.
80 Gods infinite pow err is able to yield to
the constant temptations to sin wilfullv.
'Northfeld has become possibly the
most religious place In the whole world
1t is centre Of spiritual power from
winch nave gone out some of the might
est men OF these times Those who at
tend these great conferences at Northfield
learn more fully TO understand what it is
to have their lives bound up with Christ
i'll God and they go home to study their
Bibles OH their knees as never before.
This increased spiritual power and clearer
understanding of Gods revealed word is
constantly going forth to all parts of the
world, resulting in the bringing of multi
tudes to know Jesus Christ, whom to
know Alright is life eternal

on the personality and methods of Moody
and rea'e his experiences in the slums OF

come 1t is admitted that our note is of
s'icn nature that reply to it must be

SIN months hence. but it is now pretty
generally understood in administration
circles that the President has evolved n

In TACT, his suggestion to the Spanish
goVernnient of the best means of bring
ing the unfortunate war to a close is said
TO nave been Incorporated in the note,
though IN such Il conciliatory and friendly
way as not to give offense. except per.
maps, to the radical anti-American news
papers. 1t is also stated that the Presi.
