WAR AND NOT PEACE,
Elder Scales Says, is the Tendency
Of the Day.

The interest still continues in the serv-
ices at Market hall. Last evening Elder
D. E. Scales addressed the congregation upon
the subject OF the millennium. The speaker
said in substance: This subject is not Gear
ly understood. There is not safety in err
ror. There Is safety in truth. The word mil
lennium comes from two words which SIM
ply signify thousand years. The Bible
nowhere says that the world is all to be
converted 1t is declared that the gospel
will be preached in al. the world for a wit
ness, and then shall the end come. Christ Is
not to reign on the earth during the thou
sand years. The saints are with him in
was in the days OF Noah and Lot" Satan
is working with all the power Of upright
God The Word of God declares in II. Tim.
ILL.,. Ia, that the last day shall be perilous,
not glorious. There are enumerated in this
sins, and one of these is having a form of
Goodness and denying the power thereof.
Another is that Of pride. And this is ap-
parent, in that you can scarcely see any
difference between the church and the word,
unless 1t be that the church member is more
gaudily dressed than the world-a SIS hat
and $40 flower garden on it, or a dead
bird and feathers and furbelows.
While men are crying peace and safety, the
nations are preparing for. war after most
gigantic manner. About the only enterpr. SEES
that are running on full time and paying
full wages are the gun factories. And any
man who reads the papers may know that
they cry peace; for there was never a time
in all the history Of the world when the ma
tons were making such preparations for war
as now. Carloads of old worn out farm i'm
plements have been sent into the gun works
and made over into implements Of war. In
Europe more than twenty millions OF men
could be put IN uniforms in less than a
week But God will save and spare his peo-
pie. The Marquis Of Salisbury, at the open
ing of the British parliament. Jan. 10, 1897.
said: What would you say Is the great
change which has passed over Europe since
the older Of US were young men? 1t is this
tremendous increase in the burdens which
the necessity Of self-defense has cast upon
every nation Of the world. That burden goes
on getting higher and higher; larger and
larger part OF the population is devoted to
military service; more and more money has
to be spent in the provision OF the me-
chantcal apparatus Of war. The burden has

provoke decision, once for all, than con-

NOTES OF TIE WHEEL.
What Some of the Professionals
Are Doing.

Jay Eaton, the indoor king. has issued the
following challenge: l am ready to ride
against any bicyclist IN the world. l will put
up $500 and whoever accepts can put up an
other $500. Then l understand the Indoor
Cycling clubs are willing to add any amount
to this main stake that will prove satisfactory
to both parties. My challenge includes all
the worlds champions. l am willing to meet
Lehr Sanger, Cooper, Bald. Taylore, Michael
or any of them on these terms.
Protin, the foreign professional, took part
In 100 races last season, earning $4,000.
Clinton Coulter expresses a willingness to
meet A. C. Mertens in an unpaced race from
a quarter to two miles.
England's bicycle export trade is dimin-
ishing as fast as Americas is increasing. A
sample week during the winter season shows
English exports to the value of f12, $50, as
against Ell. S35 for the corresponding week
of the year before. This is a loss of 60 per
cent At the same rate. where Will England s
trade be a year from now?
John West. who is training Lehr and
Kaser in Florida, is willing to match Kaser
and Arthur Gardiner against any tandem
team in the world. It is probable that Gou-
goltz and Lamberiacl1, the French team
which won the International race, will take
up the challenge, and as the pair are to go
south on Monday there is every chance for
a match being made for the opening meet at
Belleair.

night the Mongolians held high revel The
observance was inaugurated with swell"

soup and number of native dishes consti-
tuted the menu, and not least among the
viands was an assortment Of wines. During
the repast, punk. sandal wood and incense
were burned. During the afternoon the COM

and smoked big black cigars and pipes.
In the evening a dozen of the Celestials

will continue among the Cinnamon for fifteen
days. There will be little work done and
most of the time given over to feasting and

East Third street. Hum Bang Is perhaps
the most influential among the local Mon
golians, and will spread feast commensurate
with his high position. Every Chinaman in
the city has been invited TO the dinner and
repetition OF yesterdays enjoyment on a
larger scale will suffice to make the invi-
tation one OF general acceptance.

SERVICE OF SACRED SONG.
Fine Programme Presented at the
Peoples Church.

The favor with which the monthly sacred
song services at the Peoples church are being
received was amply evidenced last evening
by the large congregation which almost filed
the edi1ce to listen to the fourth concert of
this kind. The programme was excellently
arranged, consisting Of a selection of sacred
numbers chosen with regard to opportunity
for solo, duet and chorus renditions, for
which the augmented choir showed itself eff
GENTLY prepared. Under the direction Of Prof
Rhys-Herbert, the concerted numbers were
rendered in an accomplished manner, i'm
pressiye as sacred music should be- and COM
mendably without any attempt at grandilo-
quent effects. The soloists were each in good
voice and creditably rendered some of the
more difficult sacred compositions. Morrie
Jeffries, the youthful soprano, sang a pleas
ing number in particularly sweet voice. The
services concluded with a hymn participated
in by the congregation.
