PRAYER
Mr.. Dodge stepped 10 the centre of
the pl tfof h With.svident nervousness.
He removed his eyeglasses,-closed his
eyes so tightly that his forehead was
gathered into lines and wrinkles and be-
gan to pray.
There was a sensation when he said:
! 1--WE know if Thou wilt dwell in tn s
city life will be sweet, clean, pure AID
true"
Mr. Moody said he was glad to be
back again in New York and hoped
that during his stay here the scenes of
Pentecost would be repe ated.
! Now, l am going to do great work
here his time, "contin ued the speaker.
"a man may come in here today just
to hear the singing, but e first thing
you know we've got right hook in
his soul, and along about Monday or
Tuesday he comes into the kingdom of
. God.
1--WE want men in our work here
who look on the bright side of things,
not grumblers. We want men who
believe God will bring souls to Him
self.

"Caleb and Joshua were the only
ones who brought back the ruth. The
others saw giants and horrors. Give
me 300 men like Caleb and Joshua and
I'll shake New York.as a mother shakes
her child"
Professor BROKER 7. Washington
rose to speak at sudden call from Mr..
Moody.
! II want to tell you," said he.
''about the first prayer l heard when |
was slave and very young. 1 was
lying in my bundle of rags in our ca
bin when my old nanny knelt down
beside my pallet before she went to
work, and l heard her pray tbaf one
day Abraham Lincoln would suec ed
and that some day her boy would be
free. After freedom came she prayed
! that her boy might 60 to school and
get an education, and that prayer
was answered, too.

race can teach the whites it's simple
faith in God. The fact is, "a has been

1t is blessed to sing of the glory be-
You'd;
To dream of the bright, golden
street;
But if we would join the great jubilant
thrOpg
OF the saved, who in heaven shall
meet,
The song that we sing should incite
as to deeds,
Our dreams make US drawer each
day;
So, while we rejoice, may we scatter
the seeds
OF mercy aud truth by the way.
Sometimes with oar tears we must
water the soil,
And sometimes rejoice, as God will
While sometimes he bids US to pat emit
ly toll,
And sometimes he bids US ''be still:''
But beyond-oh, beyond ali the toll the
pain.
We shall sing with unbounded de-
light;
And seraphs and angels shall join in
the strain
To Jesus be glory and might.

His Fathers House,


"Make not my fathers house." the

Nor crowned head
Could wear such kingly mien; no scribe
could speak
With such authority: and yet his meek,
Sad visage wore the marks of pain and
loss:
Though kingly, bore the shadow of the
cross,
And SO 'his own received him not"
Oh fair
Indeed. they deemed their temple: to
1t Gods abode, was still their proud
est boast;
But Christ must come king with
armed host,
Not a despised and lowly Nazarene.
Pride blinded them, am bition came
Their hungry souls and blessing: SO
Toward that fair temple and with
heart that yearned
With love and pain, foretold it's comm G
Behold your house is left you des-
olate.'
From them we turn in pity. yet today
Gods temple is the heart; does it al
way
Stand open for that master, whose we
are?
It's outer courts do his dear strangers
shara?
Is heaven meier bartered there for love
of gold?
Do claims of fashion never wax too
bold?
His poor ones, do they entrance find
within?
And waits compassion there for those
who sin?
Finds he treasury well filed with
gifts
OF grateful love? Place where the
true soul lifts
It's voiceless yearnings, its adoring
song
OF PRAYER and praise, and cries against
the wrong
To be cast out?
Oh, is its Utmost shrine.
Its hottest of holies-his or thine?
Filled with Gods presence, or an
earthly one?

POOR CHIlDRENS DINNER.
Fourteen Hundred MAIDS Happy in The Old Central
Congregational Church.

Fourteen hundred of the poor child
rem of Providence dined on College hill,
yesterday. 1t was the annual dinner
and presentation of clothing and other
gifts, and the ancient edifice OF the Cen
tral Congregational Society VIZ used
for the purpose. The affair was chiefly
the result of popular subscription in
the community there were presents of
all kinds. with plenty of useful articles
and candy and toys in abundance.
For hours before the doors were
opened the children began to assemble,
and there were demonstrations OF hun
ger and suffering In plenty. Besides
this the overseer OF the poor gave out
900 dinners to the poor, and as many
more were sent out by private parties.
To preserve order Lieut. Murray and
two sergeants and is police We're re-
quired. There was also committee
of well-known men To supervise the
dinner. oversee the walters and dis
tribute the presents, which were several
thousand in number. Among the COM
mitteemen were Andrew j. Martin, Sec
retary Of State Bennett, and a number
OF others.
In the galleries as spectators were
some of the well-known society women
OF the East side, and when the youth
full army was feeding at its best they
were invited TO pass along the aisles
and inspect the viands. The dinner was
the largest ever served at any one time
in this city.

here was Leo Dewalto's ascent and
descent of a spiral pathway 32 feet in
height while standing on a revolving
globe. Two more clever parodists are
not on the stage today than John and
Henry Dillon. whose refined efforts were
thoroughly appreciated by all in the
theatre. Besides their songs being good,
they are sung in a manner that far ex-
cells the usual run OF such work. The
pictures made by Patti Armanti are ex-
ceptionally clever and artistic. Rench
and Kennedy do a first class black face

their share of. popular approval and
they do good bit OF work. The Ven
