THE TEN VIRGINS.
An Able Address ON the Parable by the
Rev. j. 4. Noftsinger.

Rev. j. Il. Noftsinger.
The Rev. j.. f.. Noftsinger preached
an unusually interesting and beautiful
sermon last evening at the First Bap-
tist church. He took for his text the
10Th verse, chapter %, of Matthew, The
parable of the ten virgins"
And while they went to buy, the
bridegroom came; and they that were
ready went in with him TO the mar
riage; n the door was shut"
Therefore" he said, every one
mould be prepared that they Nigh be
ready to enter the kingdom of heaven
when called as the five virgins VINO
were wise went in to the marriage, not
ike the five virgins who were foolish
and not prepared. and found the door
shut when they asked for admittance.
This life is all for preparation. To the
wlsest sage in the universe it is but
preparation; Gladstone's great life was
only a preparation for his last DAYS.
There are men who do nothing but pre-
pare tools for others to use and these
men likewise prepare some work for
others. 1t is but a wheel within one
great wheel, which is all preparatory"
Referring to marriage he said there
were no vows more sacred. pure or de-
Vout than the pledges uniting man and
woman in marriage, and that the NO
men did their full share of the work
in the great preparation. Some men
think they do nothing; you ought to
stay at home as a preacher does and
you would see that she spent as much
Vigor, energy and life as you TO make
the home happy. A u man came
into a the other day and
said to a woman who waited upon
him: i should ave liked to have had
you on my trip to-day She replied: L
could not have stood it, L thought TO
myself, young nan If you had made
the trips up and down this floor as she
has all day you would have been en-
tlrely worn out. The woman at your
side tonight is filing just as hard a
place and just as noble a place as you,
no matter what you occupation may
be. Jesus is a friend of the world. /

Of Mexico was infested by pirates who had
their stronghold Just south Of Cuba. In

KEELY, THE MOTOR FRAUD.

John w. Keely, whose death Is an
nounced, was in his early life a circus per-
former and a sleight-of- hand performer.
His career illustrated forciby the fact
that many persons like to be humbugged,
Some twenty-five years ago he announc-
ed that he had an engine which went of
its own accord. He called 1t then n "hy-
o-pneumatic-p ulsating-vacuo engine"
He had a different name for it every year.
Scientific men and capitalists made
pngrimages to Keely's Philadelphia
laboratory to see the motor mote. -
Sometimes 1t 'moted" and sometimes It
didn't. but Keely always had tale to tell,
using a jargon of unscientific terms. He
talked about the "triune currents of a po-
lar flow of force" the reflex action of
gravity" Chords OF mass" sympathetic
outreaches OF distance" "depolar etherc
waves" and lot Of other things which
going to startle the world. but never did
Some New Workers took keely seriously
enough to raise 100000 and form COM
pany to put his motor ON the market
keely spent $4,000 of this paying his
debts and $4,000 building worthless mo
tor" In 1888 he was committed to jail for
contempt of court for refusing to explain
to committee of experts the working OF
his machine. Mrs. Bloomfield Moore. whC
had literary and scientific tastes, had
faith in Keely and spent something like
100000 on him. She sold her horses and
carriages to get money to give him.
Kelly was injured In a runaway acct
dent year ago and never fully recovered
| his strength. He leaves a widow.
