such action Is ordinarily merciful. The
mere threat is sufficient. and instead of
resulting in a double tragedy. the up
shot of the matter Is that nobody is
hurt on either side. In his connection
it is now interesting to recall that
General Fitzhugh Lee was for a time
held as a hostage in this manner dur
ing the civil war, but happily was ex-
changed a little later without having
been subjected to any extreme rigors.
A very unexpected use of this exped-
lent was that recently practiced oy
Admiral Dewey at Manila, when by a
threat OF retaliation he actually saved
an unfortunate Spanish officer from
the hands Of his own countrymen.
Apart from the holding OF hostages
under forfeit of their lives-which was
very common-instances of the use of
prisoners as a shield are scarcely
more frequent in ancient times than
nowadays. At Thermopylae, Leonidas
had with him 400 terrified and most
unwilling Thebans, who were practi-
cally prisoners. for they were there un-

cluded an alliance with the Persians.

PENTECOST'S INGATHERING.
Midwinter Meetings of the Bands
Begin.

The 'ingathering'' of the Pentecost bands
of the State is being held at Showers East
Market-street Hall. The meetings began
yesterday and will continue until tomorrow
night There will be four services to-uay,
beginning with a love feast this morning at
o'clock. At IL o'clock Rev. Peter Hansen,
Of Chicago, will preach. The afternoon
service, beginning at 2:30 o'clock, will be
conducted by four of the young women
workers of the Pentecost bands of this di-
vision. This evening at 7:3O o'clock Rev.
William Craig, of Chicago, will preach.
There will be a business conference to-mor-
row morning at o'clock, followed by a love
feast at 10 o'clock and preaching at IL
O'Clock. About forty of the workers of this
division have come for the midwinter, or
semi-annual, meetings. The meeting last
night was conducted by Rev. r. A. Nelson,
of this city, one of the foremost leaders Of
the Pentecost movement. Mr.. Nelson ex-
corresponds to the old feast of the Hebrews,
who were wont to hold thanksgiving feasts
after the harvests had been gathered in.
The same idea was followed by the Puritan
fathers in New England when Thanksgiv-
ing day was established, except that they
made their feast earlier in the year.
Inc meetings of the "ingathering" are
much the same as other religious Services
OF the Pentecosters, who have testimony
meetings and preaching, in which numerous
quotations are made from the Bible. Their
idea IS TO get away as much as possible
from worldly things in religion and to get
as near to the primitive Christian religion
as may be- The men and women dTees
plainly and their speech is as plain as their
garb.
