until they saved one more man ana then getting back with him to the shore. Gan those men ever forget that night? And can they ever forget their companionship in peril, companionship in struggle, companionship in awful catastrophe and rescue? Neverl Neverl In whatever part of the earth they meet they will be friends when they mention the story of that night when the At lantio struck Mars head. We'll, my friends, our world has gone into a worse shipwreck. Sin drove it on the rocks The old ship has lurched and tossed in the tempests of 6.000 years. Out with the life linel do not care what denom- ination carries 1t. Out with the life- boat do not care what denomination rows 1t. Side by side, In the memory of common hardships, and common trials, and common prayers, and com- mon tears, let us be brothers forever We must be
 One army of the living God.
 To his command we bow:
 Part of the host have crossed the flood.
 And part are crossing now.
 And expect to see the day when all denominations of Christians shall join hands around the cross of Christ and recite the creed: 1T believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, and in the communion of saints, and in life ever lasting. Amen"

would at once lay the subject before the cabinet and then invite M. Cambon to another conference at the White House when the final answer will be given as to the willingness of this government to open negotiations.
 Owing to the importance of the com munication the ambassador adopted the usual diplomatic procedure of reading the communication from the original in French, the translation being submitted by M. Thiebeaut.
 In the conversation which followed the reading of the proposition neither the president nor the ambassador en, tered upon the question of the terms ol peace.
 The instructions of the embassadoi had confined him to the one essentia point of opening peace negotiations, anc 1t was evident that the president de sired to consider the proposition before giving any definite reply.
 It was finally determined that tn. president would consult the members O. his cabinet concerning the proposition and after a decision had been arrived al M Cambon would then be invited tt the White House for further conferenc, and for a final answer from the United States government. Before the call clos. ed brief of the memorandum wa. agreed upon in order to set at rest mis leading conjecture, ,and to give to tn, public information on a subject whicf had advanced beyond the point wher, diplomatic reserve was essential.
 The Proposition Is General.
 Incorporation submitted by the em bassador acting for the Spanish govern ment was quite general In terms an, was confined to the one essential poin of an earnest plea that negotiations b opened for the purpose of terminating the war and arriving at terms of peace The communication of the Spanish gov ernment did not suggest any specif1' terms of peace, nor was there any refer ence made to Cuba, the Philippines Porto Rico or other Spanish possessions The evident purpose of the Madrid au thorities was first to learn whether tn United States would treat on the sub ject of peace and after that to take uI such terms as the two parties migh suggest. Neither was there any sugges ton from the Spanish government tha an armistice be established pending tn peace negotiations. It seemed natural however from the proposition tha formal peace negotiations be entere upon that pending their conclusion cessation of hostilities would occur.

 Again, bigotry and sectarianism do great damage in the fact that they hin- der the triumph of the gospel. Oh, how much wasted ammunition How many men of splendid intellect have given their whole life to controversial disputes when, if they had given their life to something practical, they might have been vastly useful Suppose, while 1 speak, there were a common enemy coming up the bay, and all the forts around the harbor began to fire into each other. You would cry out: "Na- tional suicidei Why don't those forts blaze away in one direction, and that against the common enemy?' And yet I sometimes see in the church of the Lord Jesus Christ strange thing going on-church against church, minister against minister, denomination against denomination, firing away into their own fort, or the fort which ought to be on the same side, instead of concentrat- ing their energy and giving one mighty and everlasting volley against the navies of darkness riding up through the bay
 go out sometimes in the summer and find two beehives, and these two hives are in quarrel. I come near enough not to be stung, but come just near enough to hear the controversy, and one beehive says, "That field of clover is the sweetest" and another beehive

 sectarianism and bigotry in our hearts and in the church also by realizing that all the denominations of Christians have yielded noble institutions and noble men. There is nothing that so stirs my soul as this thought. One denomination yielded Robert Hall and an Adoniram Judson; another yielded Latimer and Melville; another yielded John Wes- ley and the blessed Summerield, while our own denomination yielded John Knox and the Alexanders-men of whom the world was not worthy. Now, say, if we are honest and fair minded of such churches and such denomina- tions, although they may be different from our own, we ought to admire them, and we ought to love and honor them Churches which can produce such men and such large hearted charity and such magnificent martyrdom ought to win our affectton-at any rate, our re- spect. So come on, ye 600, 900 Episco- palians in this country and ye l, ,400,- 900 Presbyterians and ye 4,000, 900 Baptists and ye 5. 900, 900 Methodists- come on; shoulder to shoulder we will march for the worlds conquest, for all nations are to be saved, and God de- mands that you and help. Forward. the whole inel In the Young Mems Christian associations, in the Bible so- ciety, In the Tract society, in the For eign Missionary society, shoulder to shoulder, all denominations.
 Brothers Forever.
 Perhaps might forcefully illustrate this truth by calling your attention to an incident which took place 25 years ago. One Monday morning at about 3 o'clock, while her 900 passengers were sound asleep in her berths dreaming of home, the steamer Atlantic crashed into Mars head. Five hundred souls in ten minutes landed in eternity. Oh, what & scenel Agonized men and women run ming up and down the gangways and clutching for the rigging, and the plunge of the helpless steamer and tbe olapping of the hands of the merciless sea over the drowning and the dead threw two continents into terror. But see this brave quartermaster pushing out with the life line until he gets to the rock, and see these fishermen gath ering up the shipwrecked and taking them into the cabins and wrapping them in the flannels snug and warm, and see that minister of the gospel with three other men getting into lifeboat and pushing out for the wreck, pulling away across the surf and pulling away

This is an action to recover damages for
breach OF contract. The plaintiffs do a
general canning business at Brunswick,
having factories all over the state, and
the defendant is engaged in canning
blueberries at Columbia Falls, under the
name of the Columbia Falls Packing
company, her husband being general
manager of the business. On June l,
1897, the plaintiff company made con-
tract with the defendant company to for
nlsh them 1853 cases of blueberries at a
stipulated price, at the same time secur-
ing an option to send in further orders
at any time during the coming season
of ~ at the same price. The 1868 cases
were furnished according to contract,
On September 10, the plaintiff company
a7aillng itself of it's option, sent in an
order for $500. cases more. Meanwhile
blueberries had risen in price about &c
per cent, owing to the operation Of the
D1ngley Dill, and also to a shortage in the
crop and tbs defendant company refused
TO nil the order. The plaintiffs now sue
for damages amounting to 81, 07S.75, the
differences between the contract price and
the market price on September ID. The
defendant claims firstly that the can.
ming season had closed before the second
order was sent in; and secondly, that the
order was an unreasonable one, Testi
mony was introduced to show that Anne
rican blueterries could not be obtained
at any price on that date,
