 Peace Given.

We get our word peace from the Latin, through the French, and it originally meant, compact, bargain, and the root word. 'pact," is allied to Greek word meaning, e'I fasten." Put these meanings into the words of Jesus in John II; 27, and what a wonderful declaration it is. Christ making compact with us; Christ fastened to us. Christ fastened to us brings peace to the soul. The world cannot give this peace, for it has it not. Some military commanders boast that when they are through with campaign the country is at peace. Often this peace is there because the cities are ruined. the homes destroyed. the people gone. It is the peace of desola- ton. Christ gives peace peace that comes by conquest, but conquest that gives a slife more abundant , My peace l give unto you, he says. Fearing, doubling, temptest-tossed one, fasten to Christ, and his peace is yours,

Feyer of spnonlation.

When a man becomes Q minister he vol- untarily limits himself in many ways. He practically takes the VOWS of poverty; at least, he knows he will not become a rich man if he remains a true minister. He chooses the high calling. with it's known limitations, because obedience to God and duty have surpassing conpensations. If, now. at any point in his ministry he yields to the common temptation, greed for riches, he ieopardizes his soul and his call ing. Once let the fever of speculation get into the veins even of 9 minister, and the temptation will be likely to prove too strong for him.-The Watehman.

CAPTURE OF ILOILO HOW THE TOWN AND IT'S DEFENSES WERE
 TAKEN
GUNBOATS' GOOD WORK.
City Set Afire by Insurgents-Ma ines Landed and Succeeded
 in Saving the Town.

Mania, February IA, 11:5o a. m.-I Particulars of the capture of Iloilo | by the forces under Brig. Gen. Mill CT on Saturday last has been re-. ceiyed here. On the morning of Friday, February 10, Gen. Miller sent an u,timatun to the command l CT of the rebels Oh shore, notifying him that it was his intention to take Jloilo by force if necessary. Non. combatants and foreigners were warned to leave the town within twenty-four hours. The rebels were also warned that they must make no further belligerent preparations.
 Tbe gunboat Petrel was then moved to a position close In shsre and near ths rebel fort, while the cruiser Boston took up her station at the other end of the town. Frl- day passed quietly. During the day many refugees left the town of Iloilo. The majority of them were taken on board foreign ships lying in the harbor.
 searchlights from the United States warships were kept all night long Illuminating the town and it's defenses. The rebels, so far as the loskouts on the ships could discover remained quiescent throughout the night.
 At eight o'clock on the morning of Saturday, February II, the gun boat Petrel signaled to the cruiser Boston that the rebels were working in their trenches. In return the Petrel was ordered to fire warning shots to the town from her three pounders. This was done and the rebels replied with harmless fusil- aae
 The Boston and the Petre then bombarded the rebel trenches, com pletely clearing them of their occu- pants in a very short space of time. Soon after the bombardmeat began flames broke out simultaneously in various parts of the town. There upon forty-eitht marines acting as infantry and artillery were landed from the cruiser Boston and con- pany was sent ashore from the gnn- boat Petrel. These attachments marched straight into the town ot IIoilo aud, hoisting the stars and stripes over the fort, took possession of tbe place in the name of the United States.
 The capture of the town and its defenses having been accomplished the marines a1d soldiers who had been sent ashore proceeded to the task of saving the American, Eng H,h and German consulates from destruction by the fire which was raging among the frall and infam-- mable buildings of the town. The Swiss consul's residence, which was in the same row as the consulates named, was burned. The entire Chinese and native sections of the town were destroyed, but foreign mercantile property escaped with l slight damage.
 p There was some desultory firing
 by the enemy in the outskirts of Tloilo but not single American was injured.

Miller's force had complete E control of the situation when the E ounboat Petrel sailed from lloilo for I Manila The Sixth United States a artillery regiment occupied posi- ! fion commanding both the bridges ! leading into town. and the Tenues- \ see volunteers and the Eighteenth < United States infantry were oceu, S pying the trenches tbat had been
