\ MISE Resolution. :
The Theme Of a Sermon BY Rev. S.
G. Reading.
Well Attended Evangelistic Meet
ings at the First Baptist Church.
Meetings Are Doing Much Good.
Meeting of w. G. T. U.-New Re-
lIg1ous Organization tor Men
Formed at the Cathedral.

The evangelistic meetings at the
First Baptist church, which were be-
gun a week ago, will continue until
next Sunday at least, and probably
longer. The meetings are all well at
tended and are resulting in much
good The forceful and effective style
of Rev. S. G. Readings preaching is
making an impression. Rev. Reading
preached twice yesterday, and made
a fine talk to men yesterday afternoon
at the Y. NJ. c. A. Last evening he
preached to a large congregation, his
subject being, "a Wise Resolution"
His theme was drawn from the we'll
known but impressive story Of the
prodigal son. His subject was taken
from the words of the declaration of
the prodigal son when he said, II
will arise and go back to my father"
This was wise resolution on the part
of the son, and every sinner who goes
to Christ is in about the same condi
ton as was the prodigal. He does not
go to Christ until he is soul sick,
without hope and lost Not lost in the
sense of being without means of rescue
but lost in his present condition. We
are told by preachers that we are all
lost.
1t must be WHEN a man gives up abb
sOlutely all hope that he will come
to Christ fer salvation. The prodi-
gals resolution to go to, his father
was founded on a sorrow for his past
life and on a feeling of inconsistencies.
And when the resolution was formed it
was Immediately put into effect. This
was his only nope and the only hope
of one who makes up his mind to
come to c lrist, for multitudes of men
make promises which they never carry
out because they do not do it at once.
Every opportunity will make a man
either better or worse, will make an
addition either to his eternal condem
nation or eternal glory.

CONFERENCE.
Upon the Monetary Question win
Reconvene November 3D. What
viii Be Done.

Washington, October 24.-When the
monetary commission reconvenes IN
November Sd it will be ready to begin
the preparation of its currency meas.
ure and the report that will accompany
it. The measure itself will not be one
of great length and it is probable that
the report, instead Of attempting to
give digest of all the suggestions and
testimony before the commission, will
confine itself to clear statement OF
facts and terse argument in support of
the argument agreed upon. The peo-
pie generally have responded very
freely to the invitation of the COM
mission TO contribute their views, and
it has received in this way a very
fair index of public opinion upon the
subject in every section of the coun-
try. The crank" letters have been
very few. The great mass of the sug-
gestions have been from men who
have evidently given much careful
study and intelligent thought to the
currency question. The suggestions
range over every possible phase of the
subject, and almost every writer has
some suggestion TO make as to the
place that silver should hold in the
currency of the country.
A number of men suggest the ae-
ceptance of silver in unlimited quanti-
ties with the issuance of certificates at
market rates for the bullion with re-
demption of these certificates when
presented at ruling market rates. But
the plain effect Of this plan would be
to make the silver certificate nothing
more nor less that a warehouse re-
ceipt with the government standing
as the warehouseman. Other sugges-
tons that no paper money in less than
$40 denomination be issued in any
form, thus requiring larger circula-
ton of silver dollars and subsidiary
coins. But the experience of bankers
has been that--the small notes have
an enormous popularity. Several men
suggest the coinage of a monetary
unity composed of combination OF
gold and silver and others suggest
simply the issuance of certificates
representing gold and silver ingots.
This would contemplate a gold ingot
union and a silver ingot unit and.
whether the government simply issued
a certificate or coined the metal, it's
only connection with the currency
would be to guarantee the weight and
fineness of the metal. Such q plan as
this would, Of course. cause an enor-
nous amount Of confusion in the future
settlement of existing contracts.
The commission asks a number OF
questions of financial experts and men
of large experience in financial affairs.
The tenor OF the replies received is
conservative and demolishes the rather
widespread notion that there is de-
sire among men of this class for tho
withdrawal of the greenbacSs and treas
ury notes.

THE MURDER TRIAL
Still the Chief Topic of Conversation
at Harrisville---The Finding Ap-
parently Satisfactory.

Special to the Register.
Harrisville, w. Va, October 24.-The
great. murder trial is over, but still
continues to be the chief topic OF con-
versation about the hotels and on the
streets. Irwin Warren Brown has
been fairly judged by twelve men, and
when they believe him guilty of the
atrocious murder of Emanuel Crull.
his friend and benefactor, they tenn
pered their verdict with mercy and
spared his life.
Richie county has never had legal
execution, and while the public in gem
eral thought Brown should suffer the
extreme penalty, those who thought
the jury would infiict it were in the
minority. Yesterday the Register cor
respondent questioned many persons
as to what penalty should be inflicted,
and the reply in every case was Hang
him." However, the people of Richie
county seem to look with horror even
on a legal execution, and in general
the penalty inflicted is satisfactory.
The case was conducted in a re-
markably fair manner by all con-
cerned, Judge Freer being careful and
impartial in all his decisions, and The
attorneys both for the State and dc.
Tense prosecuted the case in an opan
and frank manner This was Prose
cutor Woods's first case of great i'm
portance, and he is being congratu-
lated on the able manner in which he
conducted it. Hon. NJ X. Duty, the
attorney for the defense, who was
suddenly left to make the fight for
his Client single-handed, owing to the
sickness of Attorney Robinson. de .

A DEMAND
From the Porte That American Mission.
aries BE Recalled.

From the Porte That American Mission
aries BE Recalled.
London, October pa dispatch to
the Daily News from Constantinople
says: THE Porte has demanded the
recall Of two American missionaries
from the province of Aleppa, on the
pretext that their mission for the dis
tribution of relief is likely to cause
disturbances. The United States lega-
ton has ignored the demand and will
continue to do SO until definite charges
are made, being convinced that the
demand is merely the first step to a
general one asking for the recall of
all missionaries.
A dispatch to the Times from Con-
stantinople with reference to the same
incident merely says:
THE Porte complained and the lega-
ton replied that there was no reason
TO expect mischief from the action Of
the missionaries.
