THE REST OF HEAVEN.
DIR. w. II. STRICKEN breaches at the
HamIinc Methodist Church.

The Rev. W. r. Stricken, u. D., deliver
ed the first of his series of sermons on
Questions concerning the hereafter"
last night at the Hamline Methodist Epis-
copal Church. Ninth and p Streets north
west. The subject of the discourse was
the Rest Of Heaven" suggested by words
found in the fourth chapter and tenth
verse of Hebrews: There remaineth
therefore a rest to the people of God"
The hymns and anthems sung were on
the theme of heavenly rest. DR.. Stricken
spoke in part as follows:
We stand in the presence OF denth aud say:
Where Is he? Where Is she: This inquiry natural
lr presents itself to the human mind As we
would examine maps OF strange country to
which were going. SO We love to make inquiry
OF the hereafter Our burial costumes have given
wrong notions OF the hereafter. Tombstones
coffin plates, burial, mourning do not constitute
the end OF .Jite; they only the beginning.
Our departed loved ones are not III the cold and
damp vault; only the body is there Tonight |
want to talk to you about the rest Of heaven.
Rest is either relative or absolute. \ man on
a moving train Is at rest relatively TO the tram,
OF absolute rest here; that can only be obtained
in our heavenly home and with our heavenly
Father.
The speaker said that he knows of no peo-
pie who SO much need the gospel of rest
preached to them as do the Americans.
Here everybody lives in "a constant rush
and scramble after material things. DIR.
Stricken then described the trials of temp
tation. and said that in Heaven all these
will be removed; all mysteries will be eX-
planned and all doubts removed.
DR.. Stricken will preach on the Rest
of Heaven" next Sunday night.

WORKERS FOR SALVATION.
Commander and Mrs. BoOth-Tucl<er T
Hold Many Earnest Meetings.

Commander and Mrs Booth Tucker, Of
the Salvation Army, spent busy day in
Washington yesterday. They addressed
large audiences in many parts of the city.
and made earnest and eloquent pleas in
behalf of Christianity.
Meetings were held during the day or
evening in the Eastern Presbyterian
Church, Metropolitan Presbyterian Church.
Masonic Temple. Lutheran Memorial
Church, Columbian University Hall, and
Wayland Chapel.
While Commander Booth Tucker was
addressing an audience which filled Ma
sonic Temple to its utmost capacity, his
wife was conducting a large meeting at
Columbian University Hall under the au
spices of the Young Mems Christian As
sociation.
The meeting at the Masonic Temple was
under the direct auspices OF the Salv2 -Dn
Army, the speaker Of the day being intro
duced by Major Pebbles. After several
songs had been heartily rendered by the
audience, a short address was made by
the commander. He pictured The perils
of Daniel in the lions den, and drew from
that startling Biblical story encourage
ment for Christian endeavur at the present
day, and urged all to meet their trials and
Satan's wiles with the same sturdy faith
as did the ancient prophet.
The meeting which lasted until after ,
O'Clock, was attended with great enthusi-
asm and many seekers after the Nazarine
were induced TO come to the penitent rail.
Mrs. Booth Tucker addressed the regular
4 o'clock mems meeting. held under the
auspices of the Y. NJ. c. A. at Columbian
University Hall. and, although the meeting
is known as the mems meeting. there were
number OF ladies in the large audience
that assembled to hear the distinguished
Christian worker. The exercises We're
| opened with music by the mems choir,
| under the direction of Charles $. Clark.
The speaker was introduced by Mr.. Sle-
man, the general secretary OF the associa-
| ton. The theme OF her sermon was con-
secration. and as an illustration she called
attention to the experience of the prophet
Isaiah when he went into the temple TO
| talk to the Lord and was made to feel his
unworthiness and the uncleanliness Of his
| lips. making him unable to speak until an
angel had touched his lips with live coal
| from off the altar. after which he felt
| ready for Gods service.
| The burden Of Mrs. Booth fuckers re-
| marks was addressed to Christian men,
| whom she urged to greater conservation.
A special plea was also made to unbelicv-
| ers. and the elOquence and force of her
words made "a profound impression.

luton all the more obscure, it is also
known, and proved beyond question, that
the boot and shoe operatives in America
earn wages almost double ours.
This is the problem before our manu-
facturers, which has only one solution.
American manufacturers work on diff
ferent method They organize their fac
tories upon a perfected system to produce
the finished article at the smallest posi-
BILE cost of production. The bright side
of the picture has now become apparent
to our manufacturers, who mean TO or
ganize and train their operatives on the
the above lines. and. as one of the largest
manufacturers stated in an interview with
the writer, We intend to work our fac
tory up to its uttermost capacity. II the
boot and shoe operatives in Britain can
only be brought round to the opinion that
restriction, under any circumstances,
means ruin to the trade-also that in
creased production means increased pros
perity-not only will our colonies be re-
conquered, but we will re-establish our
selves in our home trade.

THE PRESIDENT AT CHURCH.
Rev. Frank VI. Bristol breaches on
the prncticnI ReIigi ion.

President Mckinley. accompanied by
Miss McWiIliams. Miss Shields and Miss
Harton all of Canton, O.. attended the
morning service yesterday at the Metro
poliian NJ. f. Church. The Presidential
party arrived at the church somewhat
earlier than usual and were obliged TO wait
a few moments before they could enter the
edhce MIR. Mckinley ard the ladies who
accompanied him alighted from their ear
Tiage IS soon as II arrived at the G Street
entrance OF the church and spent a few mo-
ments chatting with some of the Presi-
dents friends until the doors were opened
The cause Of the delay was the unusually
large congregation which attended service
Yesterday morning When the rush came
the ushers thought it advisable TO close the
doors for a lime in order that those al
ready on the inside might be seated. Mr..
Mckinley and his friends arrived just while
this was being done.
The sermon was preached by the Rev.
Frank NJ. Bristol. pastor of the church,
who took his text from Philippians, As:
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are
true, whatsoever things are of good re-
port II there be any virtue. II there he
any praise think OF these things Ii was
along these lines, the speaker said, that
the apostles preached, imploring their
hearers 10 acquire virtue after virtue. one
after another. What. then, he asked, would
oppose such religion, such a Christian
ity?
The tendency of the day, said the preach
er, is toward pure, simple, plain. practi-
cal religion. and the belief that a man S
salvation depends more upon his spiritual
relations with Christ than his belief in any
philosophical or theological principle is
rapidly gaining ground. Just SO far as men
try TO emulate the example OF Christ and to
follow his teachings. Just so far does Chris
tianity advance. The thought is the man,

FOREIGN TRADERS ALARMED.
American Manufarturers Distance
All Competitors.

THE enormous advance made By Ameri-
can steel producers and their extraordinary
success seems to threaten the trade of the
world" This significant statement is made
in review OF the trade OF Scotland, from
the pen of technical Scotch correspond
ent, a copy of which has been sent TO the
State Department by Rufus Fleming, Unit
ed States consul at Edinburgh.
Referring to the trade in locomotives,
the review states:
In an American locomotive shop for
every five men employed a complete loco.
motive is turned out per annum while 1t
takes the labor of about fifteen men for
twelve months in British shop to com
plete a locomotive TO the satisfaction OF
Westminster engineers"
In regard 10 agricultural machinery, if is
said:
The Canadian and American makers
still retain the bulk of this important
trade. and every year the introduc
ton OF a new American competitor.
I'm the export markets. the Americans
are our most serious competitors, and in
the binder trade, one of the most valuable
branches of the export trade, they have
practically a monopoly"
Regarding the boot and shoe trade it is
stated in the review:
To add to the dullness among manu-
facturerS. very large portion OF our
colonial trade was fairly wrested from us
by our American cousins, who. at the mo
ment of writing. have practically the whole
boot and shoe trade of western Australia
and Africa. Not only so. but American
manufacturers have during the year push
ed our home manufacturers severely for
the boot and shoe trade of the United
Kingdom. and have firmly established
themselves in our midst.
ITO our annoyance and irritation. ii must
be canddly admitted that their manu-
features for beauty and style. handsome
appearance. and perfection of fit excel
ours; in their own words. they have gone
one better on US. Our manufacturers
hitherto have pretended indifference and
looked wise. limiting that perhaps the wear
will tell-a vain and delusive hope, which.
unfortunately for them has not been real
lied. ior the best of all reasons that the
leather. both of uppers and soles. is the
identical sort which our own manufac-
turers use in the greater portion of their
goods. Humiliatirg as 1t is. it is neverthe-
less a fact that the Americans, in upper
leather almost entirely, and in sole leather
to a great degree. completely eclipse our
curriers' and tanners, who are compelled
| TO own that they must adopt American
| methods If they can hope to compete in the
| future. All this savOrs of despondency,
| and were it not that there is plenty of fight
| left in us the future would indeed be
gloomy.
The question continually asked in the
| boot and shoe trade is. How comes 1t that
| America is able to deliver to our very
| doors boots and shoes at prices consider
| ably less than can be accepted by our
| own manufacturers, while at the same time
| American leather of which by far the
largest proportion of our boots ana snoes
| are composed is sold to our manufac-
turers at prices even less than to Ameri-
can manufacturers? And, TO make the So

SOME INTERESTING WOMEN.
Rev. Wallace Radcliffe breaches the
Second Sermon of His Series.

Rev. Wallace Radcliffe Preaches the
Second Sermon of His Series.
Rev Wallace Radcliffe delivered the
second OF his series of lectures on Some
Interesting Women" at the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church last evening
The subject was The Woman Who Began
Well"
Dr. Radcliffe took for his text Genesis
21:67, And Isaac took Bebecca and took
her for his wife and he loved her The
speaker said that Rcbecca was the one
ordained for Isaac. Her character was
love. vivacity, ambition. and activity. She
supplied what Isaac lacked in tempera-
ment, and their life was happy. The COM
fort of the household was guaranteed.
Abiding love dwelt there.
Masculine selfishness explains the
source of nearly all domestic unhap-
piness,' continued the preacher. When
men are Indifferent, thoughtless. incon-
sideratc, and selfish. trouble comes only
too swiftly. When men give constant
thought to the comfort of their wives,
there will be mutual respect. esteem and
affection. Unhappiness will not be there.
OF such men and women is made the king
dom of heaven.
Woman is the most devoted creature
on earth. Her devotion is not to an ideal,
but to person. Her devotion is stead
fast and in its expression she will hesitate
at nothing. No sacrifice is too great for
her to make for those she loves as wit
ness Rebeccas love for her favorite son,
Jacob in forcing him TO practice decep-
ton on the blind and dying Isaac in order
that Jacob might secure an advantage.
She threw away in moment the fruits
Of previously blameless life. 1t is al
ways best to let God do his own wol k
in his own way. Rebecca would only
have had to wait to see her ambition graf
flied. God would have done his work with
out help from Rebecca.

is her wall, What good is life to me -
She had begun well, but she ended
