AS A KING UNTO A KING.
REV. DIR. Fairs Sermon on a. Noble
Deed.


Rev. James Y. Fair delivered an excel
lent sermon at the Independent Presbyte>
rian Church last night upon the subject.
"A Kingly Deed"
The sermon was founded upon an incl
dent in the life of King David, when the
land having been punished with a pesti-
lence for the disobedience of the King IN
ordering a numbering of the people, con-
trary to the express direction of God, who,
taking pity on Jerusalem, stopped the pes
thence at that city.
David was then commanded by the
prophet Of God to build an altar at the
place where the angel of destruction had
stood when his hand was stopped by the
Lord. This was the threshng floor of
Araunah, the Jebusite When the
King sought 10 buy the place
of Araunah, the latter declined
to sell, but offered the place and all that
it contained, freely as a gift. The scrip
ture, in speaking of the act, says that he
gave las a king unto a king"
DR.. Fair discussed the remarkable use
of this word in its application to a sub
ject who could have no claim to kingly tt
tie. 1t was the nobility of the act which
exalted him above others. The building
of the altar was to put final stop to the
pestilence and Araunah freely offered his
possessions for this purpose.
From this DR.. Fair discoursed upon the
possibilities of good and of noble lives and
deeds. Such are not confined only to
those who wear the purple, he said. or to
those who occupy exalted stations in life,
but are often found among the
humble and unknown. There was nothing
to indicate that Araunah was n man of
large possessions. Being called a Jebusite,
he was probably not one of the chosen peo-
pie, and hence his readiness to sacrifice his
possessions for the public welfare. was all
the more notable. BY his kingly deed he
placed himself for the time being upon a
level with the real King of Israel because
he gave as a king to a king.

GALES TALKS TO YOUNG MEN.
The Prince and the Pauper the sub
jcct of His Discourse.

JeCt OF HIS
The talk at the Young Mems Christian
Association yesterday afternoon was by
Evangelist Weston R. Gales, who devoted
himself to distinctions between the prince
and the pauper. The manner in which
the blind man died and that in which Abb
ner died, was alluded to and deductions
were drawns He
Opportunities come to all men, Mr.. Gales
said, but many cannot see these chances
because of a dollar or big whisky bottle
which obstructs the view and always
keeps them in darkness. These, he sald,
are blind to the duties of Gods kingdom
and will not embrace the chance to rise
from the dens of vice and iniquity, to
those of righteousness. He referred to
a tourist in the Rockies, who was upon
the crest of a peak when the storm ragged
below While observing the clements he
saw an eagle wind its way from out of
the storm cIoud and soar into the calm
and sunshine above. This incident. said
Mr.. Gales, was like the deliverance of the
unrighteous who went from sin to Gods
throne by humble repentance.
1T requires moral courage to get religr
ion" the evangelist said. 81 have seen men
in church who turned pale when the word
of God was preached, because they knew
their danger and what they were to reap
in the end But there is no need hating in
this manner as all Christian people stand
ready to help those desiring to repent.
Granted a proposition were made this at
ternoon for all to stand who would sign a
pledge agreeing not to call on God for help
in twelve months. There are none who
would agree to it. There are none who
would even agree not to call on God for
six months, or three months or twenty
four hours. Why is it then, that men put
off matters of religion, when such agree
ments would be SO strongly disapproved.
There is a liberty to the child of God of
which the world knows nothing, and will
not until all fall at the feet of Jesus Christ
and receive spiritual light"
Before the talk by Mr.. Gales, a solo,
THE Man of Galilee," was sung by Mr.. E.
X. Demmond, who will sing during the
| meetings to be held by Mr.. Gales at the
! association rooms this week.
The first of the night meetings for mon
will be held in the gymnasium tonight at

SPLITTING AT A CRACK.
How the COnvicts Lost and Got Back
Their Grensy Cards.

Their Greasy Cards.
An interesting story is being told CT
Chairman j. j. Dales efforts to break up
gambling in the county convict camps.
The convicts used to have a pack or two
of greasy dirty cards, so grimy that they
would stick together, and, it is said, the
whole pack could almost be held up by
holding the bottom card.
With these the convicts would gamble
for their weekly ratons of tobacco. cut
ting the plug into small bits, each OF
which made an ante or a bet. 1t was not
an uncommon thing, therefore, for one
convict to raise another five chews of to-
bacco and a biscuit. or a jacknife, if he
had 1t. When Chairman Dale heard OF
this state of affairs he ordered that the
cards be taken away from the men, and
that the gambling be stopped.
Thinking that the moral atmosphere OF
the camp had been improved to that ex
tent he went out one afternoon when the
men were not at work on customary in.

convicts acting in a very peculiar man.

Saturday that the fascines built at Cum
berland sound in 1894 were poor fasclnes.
Taking his instructions into consideration
he considered them good. The faseines in
the Augusta work, he said, were better
than those at Cumberland sound, but they
were built for a different purpose. Those
at Cumberland sound, he stated, were built
to gather the silt, while those in the river
near Augusta were built as a shore pro-
lection, which required altogether diff
ferent class of work. The Cumberland
sound fascines, he said, had considerably
more brush in them than hose exhibited
on the stand in court, most Of them hfteen
to twenty per cent more, and some twice
as much. He was under examination by
the court at the adjournment hour Satur-
day, and further questions will probably
be asked him by Maj. Stanton to-day.
