mencing with the family life of these
young mems parents. he showed how a
mistaken partiality of the father ana
mother told unfavorably upon the
character of the two sons, then deal
ing with the character of the two sons,
showed wherein lay the strength and
the weakness of both. He gave a few
good hits to Jacob in passing and dealt
out some praise to Esau, but failed not
to point out his inherent weakness,
and showed how this led to his down.
fall.
The question of the birthright sug-
gested the main topic of the discourse,
and this was the selling of the quail
fication to vote in election. He said
that he knew and could prove that in
various places and at different times
voters had sold their electoral rights,
and in scathing words showed the utter
unmanliness of such voters.
His language was trenchant and to
the point and judging from the marked
attention of the people the sermon
must have produced good effect. The
reverend gentleman did not tell the
people how to vote but he urged upon
them the duty and the privilege of vot-
ing conscientiously, and in the fear OF
God.
He said that if people bartered away
their votes that they placed themselves
upon the same low level as Esau in
selling his birthright; that they should
not do this, for they could not get an
equivalent; that the privilege of voting
was dearly purchased right; and that
10y exercising this right ;he poorest
nan was on a level with the richest.
DUTY OF A MINISTER.
Rev. II. A. Grant, b. D., pastor of the
Howard Place African Methodist Epis-
copal church, in his sermon last even
ing in part said:
Being a man of lawful age have the
| right and as a citizen of this country,
| though a minister, to give expression to
| my thoughts on any social question, and
! politics is among the group of these ques-
| tions, which makes It my duty, by virtue
! of my ministry, to do all in my power for
| the growth of social reformation The
| clergy cannot without being recreant to
| their high calling, be Indifferent to great
| reforms. Their attitude should be a most
| positive one and their action aggressive.
Politics, properly understood, is a sci
ence, and the science of good govern
ment, based on the moral law. This once
understood, is well worth the closest
study of every minister. There can be no
question as to the duty of ministers and
! preachers of religious truths to teach the
great fundamental truths which under
lie all politics. Was II the duty of the

Costs Nothing,
But Facts
Are Stubborn Things.

1t is easy to say things in print,
to assert that the values offered are
the lowest, to endeavor to create a
belief on the part Of the reading
public that there is only one good
house in this particular line of busi-
ness, and that the house making
this assertion is, of course, the only
one. All this may be done, and is
done, in every city.

4 TERRIBLE REVENGE.

Carrying on All the Women.

Cairo, Oct. 25.-A column of troops
commanded by Gen. Hunter. it is an
nounced in dispatch from Berber on
the Nile, has started to drive Osman
Digna, the great Dervish general. from
the Atbara river. But the dispatch
adds, it is feared Osman Digna will
not wait for the Angol-Egyptian troops
to attack him.
Details just obtained of the revenge
of the Dervishes upon the Jaalin tribe,
caused by the refusal of the latter to
join the forces of the Khalifa against
the British, show it to have been ter
rible in the extreme. The left of the
bank Of the river between Berber and
Metmmeh was practically depopulated.
The Dervishes butchered every male
member of the offending tribe and
took the pretty women to their harems,
after sending $50 selected virgins to the
Khalifa. The Dervishes, in addition,
threw many women and children into
the river.
