LIFE BEYOND THE SKIES.
The Rev. DR.. Jones breaches on the
Subject of Immortality.


The pulpit of the First Baptist Church
was filled yesterday by the Rev. Dr. Elijah
B. Jones' pastor of the Baptist Church of
0watona, MINI. He is an eloquent and
forceful speaker and treated his text in a
simple and effective manner. He is a
lecturer of note in the Northwest, and has
been lecturing and preaching at Chautau-
quas since August l. He was resident OF
Washington about twenty-five years ago.
"Our Father Which Art in Heaven was
the text selected and the minister drew
from it many beautiful thoughts bearing
upon the "Fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man.. He spoke for the
unity of the race, and pointed out the need
OF further application of the brotherhood
idea to the despairing in order that they
may be brought back to God.
I'VE call God our father and he is, +"
continued the minister, "and. because heis
our father, we need not despair OF his
love or care" The speaker then said
he felt sure that there was life beyond
existence here. Jesus Christ in his teach
ings plainly told as much and also inl
piled in unmistakable terms that God is
the father of man and watches over and
cares for him in his every move and ac-
ton.

speaker, because of the things that are to
come. II is the hope for the future in this
life which spurs every man on and makes

KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS.
A sermon AT Calvary Church by Rev,
r. H. kcrfoot


The Rev. f. H. Kerfcot, d. D., of Louis
vile. KY. occupied the pulpit of the Cal
vary Church yesterday. He is a graduate
of the Columbian University in this city,
also of the law department of the same
university. He took his text from John,
xii:21. I'VE would see Jesus" He referred
to this as the language Of certain Greeks
who came up from Jerusalem to worship.
1T is hardly likely" said the speaker,
that they meant 10 express a desire sim
ply 10 see Jesus with their eyes, as they
had abundant opportunity to do this every
day in the city. The language undoubtedly
meant that they desired TO be introduced
To him, TO become acquainted with him.
While they had this desire We cannot say
il is possible that there was only curiosity
on their part IL is possible. also, that
they felt he could do for them what no
other being could. This. however. is only
conjecture. It viii be far more profitable
for us to spend our time this morning in
noticing some of the reasons why We may
desire personal mountaineering with the
Lord Jesus Christ. The first reason was
because of his own unique personality.
Look at him first simply as a human being
He WAS without sin. He could stand up
before the world and challenge ii with the
expression. who is he that convietsth me
Of sin?' How far would we not 90 TO see
one such being today? What a privilege
to come in personal acquaintancesLip with
such an one? Again Nhe was without any
intellectual flaw. His mental powers were
so balanced. so perfectly Symmetrical. that
no fault can be found with him here,
either. Jesus Christ never had TO confess
a mistake. never offered an apology. never
asked anybody's pardon. This is 10. The
opinion simply of those who 70 low him
Some of the leading evolut.onists declare
manty. Rationalists like Schle nmacher
and Rietschl speak of him as the perfect
man"
DR.. Kerfoot here went into a discussion
OF the divinity of Christ as shown from
the Bible and confession OF men that he
was God as well as man. Thus Jesus
Christ was the most unique personality
that ever appeared on earth. Who would
rot go TO s{most any length that he might
become acquainted with such a being {?
Consider next his marvellous power and
influence. Power in any form has an at
traction for us. In a steam engine, in a
swollen river, in the laundering cataract.
the whirlpool of Niagara, everywhere We
stand before Il in admiration, but when in
carnated in human being il has its chief
charm"
Dr. Kerfoot referred TO Mr.. Gladstone.
Spurgeon. and Byron. and then brought
out the fact that Jesus Christ lowered far
above any mortal man in unlimited power
and worldwide influence
The speaker in closing said: Jesus has

Disastrous Explosion in Tunnel.

Cleveland, Aug 2O.-An explosion took
place in the waterworks yesterday and
four persons were injured, one Of them
possibly fatally The contractors sent
Martin Knight, Frank Fairy. Thomas
Brennan, and John Walsh into the tunnel
to remove the air lock. They had been
working several hours when Fairy struck
a match with which to light his pipe. I'm
mediately there was an explosion, the
flame from the match having isnited gas
which had been generated in the tunnel.
All the men were hurled down and stunned,
Knight being thrown with such force that
his right leg was broken at the ankle. AS
soon as the men arose they found them
selves surrounded with flames. Taking
Knight in their arms. they ran to the shaft
at crib No 1, but before they could reach
the air all had been burned. Brennan be-
came unconscious from pain. knight in

grade of vice-admiral and promoting
both heroes to that rank. That is prac-
tically the scheme proposed during the
last congress- The president was will
ing to make both Sampson and Schley
vice-admirals, his intention being to
make Sampson outrank the man who
had been his subordinate at Santiago.
But congress would not have it so.
Schley's friends saw another evil
dence of the administration "perse-
cution." The consequence was that
while Dewey was amply rewarded,
neither of the leaders at Santiago re-
ceived the recompense that was his due
1t is to be hoped that the present con-
gress will be sane enough to carry out
the presidents generous intention and
that Schley's hackers will recover from
their frenzy, when they see that by
again interfering they may forever
block all chance of their darling's pro-
motion.
