Christ To know Him afar off is to be
repelled. To enter the charmed circle
of His personal friendship is to possess
a fellowship which is capable of arous-
ing all our better nature and kindling
our devotion. No other companionship
has ever equaled this. Paul, who had
been an enemy once, when brought face
to face with Jesus yields to His fasci-
nation the charm of perfect purity and
intense love, and is himself changed
into new man. The very life of the
Christ seems transferred to him. He is
ever seeking fuller knowledge and init
macy. THAT may know Him and the
power of His resurrection and the fell
lowsnip of His sufferings." Do you
know Jesus Christ in this way?

Opnlent Of the Church.

Sculpture READISG.-Eph ii. 1922.
In the temple at Jerusalem none but
lsraelites were permitted TO enter the
inner and higher courts. The outer and
lower Enclosure, which was added in
the time of Herod, was considered not
. part of the original sanctuary, and So
rs less holy, WAS open TO the gcntiles.
Between the two parts was IA marble
balustrade or fence with openings at
intervals. At these rateways were tab
let's with warnings TO those of alien
birth not to enter the real sanctuary on
penalty of death
Paul uses this as an illustration Of
the spiritual separation of men. Israel
possessed knowledge of the true nature
OF God and promises of fuller revela-
tion of the will of Jehovah and the
coming of the true Man. who should
lead all men TO know and serve the true
God. No other people had such knowi-
edge and promises nor the ordinances
Of worship which symbolized the purity
OF God and godly men and were pro-
phetic OF the future redemption. The
nations were sharply separated i'll wor-
ship from the true people of God. Sal
walton was of the Jews.
Christ possessed and revealed the holy
nature Of God in His life and death and
offered to impart the same to all who
would accept it. This fulfilled all the
promises to Israel, completed all signs
and ordinances of Judaism and insti-
tuted the new order of the church uni

radical difference between heathen-
ism and Christianity is in their ideas of
Precipitation. The first seeks to change
the feelings of the gods toward men
and does not strive to alter the nature
of the human. Christianity seeks to
reconcile men to God by changing the
attitude of the human. ''Ys must be
born again" is fundamental i'll the re-
Ggion of Christ. God cannot change
His nature of holiness, but He will give
new spirit to men by imparting His
own spirit of love.
To be vitality convinced Of the truth
of the process of renewal described by
Scripture a man must put himself with

Associate NJ embers.

There is no prov sion in the Bible for
associate membership in the church,
but such a condition seems to have
grown up in time. There are many
whose names are on the roll of member
ship who have no active part in the
services and feel no responsibility for
the work They may have been convert
ed at some time in the past, but Ger
tainly need to be turned again from
their present course and practices IL
the Methodist Episcopal church this is
a serious condition. A backslidden and
cold Christian is often a greater hin
drance to the work of God than an open
sinner. Be one thing or another. .'Ye
cannot serveGod and Mammon. 3" Choose
one or the other. Get into active mem
bership in the church or the world. As
sociate membership is valueless. Hon
orable Christians, not honorary ones,
are the ones that count in the earnest
battle Of life.
If you wish to be assured of the truth
of Chri stianity, try it. Believe, and if
thy belief be right that insight which
gradually transmutes faith into knowl-
edge will be the reward of thy belief

THE TURK WANTS PEACE.
Lack of Money and Rebellious states
Change His WarlIke Attitude.

BY Cable to The Associated Press
CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug 5, 1Ss7.-The
Turkish government officials are now
manifesting desire to expedite the set
tlement of the peace negotiations, owing.
to the straitened state of the Exchequer
rendering it impossible, under the present
circumstances, to contract a new loan,
because of the unhealthy condition of the
troops in Thessaly, where many of the
soldiers are dying, and for political rea-
sons, the attitude of Bulgaria, Servfa and
Montenegro being regarded as threaten
ing.
The Turkish Minister for Foreign Az
fairs, Tewfik Pasha, replying to inquiries
made by the Ambassadors of the pow
ers, has expressed ignorance of the des-
tination of the Turkish fleet which left
the DardanelleS on Tuesday last. 1t ap-
pears, however, that the warships are not
going to Cretan waters, which is prob
ably a wise decision upon the part of the
Turkish authorities, as it has been stated
that the Admirals in command of the
fleets. of the powers have decided to OPP
pose. by force. if necessary, the entry of
the Turkish squadron into Cretan waters
where precautions have already been
taken against such an eventuality, by
the despatch of foreign warships to guard
the different ports of Crete.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5. 1Ss7.-The
news that Hawaii had virtually excluded
the Chinese is confirmed by Honolulu adj
vices brought by the Australian. When
the annexation proposition was made to
the United States, one of the principal
should cease. AS a start in this direction
the Hawaiian government has decided to
issue no more six months residence per-
mits to Chinese or to execute any bonds
for contract laborers to arrive.
The planters do not fear the labor prob
lem In fact, they are already solving
it, and that to the detriment of the
Japanese. Recently there have developed
plans for colonizing the American planta-
tion negro in Hawaii to gradually replace
the coolies in the cane and rice fields and
on the coffee and cotton plantations.
The German ship H. f. Glade arrived in
Honolulu on July 26 with nearly 200 con-
tract laborers They will supplant the
Japanese on the sugar plantations. This
crowd consisted of lis laborers, 25 wom-

are Mixed there being many Poles and
Austrians, as well as Germans. These
laborers will be placed on nine different

the men are to be paid SIG month the

JAMES CARR CAPTURED.
Accused of Assaulting a Girl Only
Eleven Years Old.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5, 1S97.-After
more than week of aimless searching,
the police, this morning, captured James
Carr, a young white man, who assaulted
little Rosie Robinson, an eleven-year-old
white girl. The case has attracted much
more than ordinary attention here on ac-
count of the laxity of the police in ar
resting Carr. He is the third perpetrator
of a serious crime who has slipped
through the fingers of the police in the
Second precinct within three months.
Carr was located last night by some
citizens. He was hiding in the attic of a
house within a few squares of where his
crime was perpetrated and where the
police have looked for him three different
times. When discovered he was chased
by a crowd of citizens, but made his
escape. assaulting a woman and knock

several shots were fired before he was
secured.

The Growth OF Rel1gluos Tolerance
In the United states.

The tendency has been toward secta-
rian organization in Christian work. But,
with this tendency. has been another, to
make the work itself more Christian and
less sectarian. Methodists, Baptists, Con-
gregationalists, Presby yterians, do their
work by denominational agencies; but the
work is undenominational. No longer do
Arminians and Calvinists lombard each
other from their respective pulpits. A
sectarian sermon is rare, even in Ro-
man Catholic or a High-Church Episco-
pal pulpit; and a sermon 1evelled against
another sect is still more rare. The
churches are separated, but the doctrine
is one. The reader can easily satisfy
himself of the truth of this observation.
Let him take up Monday morning S
paper and read the reports of the pre-
vious Sundays sermons, and then en-
deavor, without any acquaintance with
the preachers, to determine to what de-
nominations they respectively belong. Or,
if ne have acquaintance with the preach
ers. let him analyze the sermons, and
endeavor to designate to himself the fea-
lures in any sermon which are character
istica1ly Presbyterian, or Congregational,
or Baptist, or Unitarian. Except in the
utterances of few polemical divines-
relics of q past age-he will find it diff
cult so to do. Ministers preach in. de-
nominational pulpits; but they proclaim
one and the same Christian message

WATER FAMINE FEARED.
A Break In the Black River Canal
Menaces Rome. N. "

ROME, NJ. Y, Aug. 5, 1s97.-This city
has been threatened with water famine
as result of the big break in the Black
River canal feeder at Forestport. The
Mohawk River ordinarily receives much
water from the States Adirondack reser-
voirs through this feeder, the water being
the overflow not needed by the canal
Now no water goes through the feeder
and this source of supply to the river is
cut off. the result being that the Mohawk
does not carry sufficient water for power
to turn the wheels of the city's pumping
plant water in the reservoir has been
steadily going down and without other
pumping means in about two days the
city would be dry
AS a means of relief until the canal
break is repaired, three extra fire en-
gines have been ordered which will pump
water into the mains and thus keep
up the supply. 1t is likely to be
three or four weeks before the break is
repaired. Surveys are now being made
for an extensive gravity system of
supply which will guard against any such
threatened famine the future The sur
veys will be completed in about four
weeks.
1t is expected that the fire engines will
answer all purposes while the present
emergency lasts.

FRENCH sQUADR0Ns CLASH.
Shocking uishap at the Cavalry
Manoeuvres at Chalons.

LONDON, Aug. 5, 1S97.-A special de-
spatch from Reims, capital of the De-
partment of Marne, twenty-five miles
northwest of Chalons, where the great
French military camp is situated, says
that during the cavalry manoeuvres yes
terday two sauadrons of the Sixteenth
Dragons came into collision, with the
result that several troopers were thrown
from their saddles. one man was killed
and several were dangerously hurt. In
addition, a number of the horses were
SO severely injured that they had to be
shot.
This is the second accident of this kind
within a very short time in France. On
July IA, last special despatch from
Nancy, capital of the Department of
Meurthe-et-Moselle, announced that dur
ing the cavalry manoeuvres there on the
day previous two squadrons of Hussars
mistook the orders given to them and
dashed into one another. Dozens of
troopers were thrown to the ground and
rendered insensble. Many of the men
had their legs or arms broken, or else
received serious internal injuries and one
man was killed.

chiefly responsible was Cecil Rhodes; that
instead of being punished he was re-

thing, for it drew upon the Queen S

wise have dissipated itself i'll charges
made at Cape Town against the chartered
company. The crime was committed IN
south Africa; all the witnesses to the
crime were there, plaintiff and defendant
ware on the SPOT; a competent tribunal
was not wanting, To drag this local mat

before the bar of judgment seat Wnlch
the Beers could not regard as lmpartlal,
was unfortunate.
