TEACHINGS OF CHRIST.
The Secret of Success in Life, Says Mr.
Thompson, is Due to Them.

Rev. A. c. Thompson, pastor of the
First Free Baptist church, preached an
interesting sermon last evening, on the
subject. 1.-The secret of a successful
life" taking for his text, Luke xii:15,
For a mans life consistent not in the
abundance of the things which he pos
sesseth."
Rev. Mr. Thompson said in substance;
The world, in answer to the question,
What constitutes a successful MANI
saws a man who secures much of the
worlds possessions or high worldly
honors, such as in the world Ct litera-
ture science, art, political or military
life, but the great teacher says
mans life consistent not in the album
dance of these things
In answer to the question, What is
a. truly successful life?" we reply, it is
first to apprehend the true object of
life, which is to glorfy God, our maker
and then to use our best endeaVorS to
conform our life to the God-appointed
object For it is that life which is
rightly lived properly developed and
rightly ended, that is the truly success
full life.
Christ says it is our duty to seek first
the kingdom of God. To make our
first business the clarifying of God,
making our duty to God and Christ the
first object of our life. To honor God
with an obedient life and loving, cheer
full service, means a life rightly lived,
and so rightly ended and therefore a
successful life. Don't envy the
wealthy, don't envy the world honored,
as the worlds standard of success; but
take and follow the teachings of Christ.

LIGHTS AND SHADOWS.
Rev Or. Lewis breaches on the Ups and
Downs of a Minister'S Life.

kew Ur' Lewis FTodCnSS on tHo Ups a"H
Downs of a Minister'S Life.
At TIE evening service Of Pilgrim
church yesterday, Rev. DR.. Alexander
Lewis preached on The lights and
shadows of minister's life" basing his
theme on the experiences of the prophet
Elijah as related in I Kings, xix:4-S-
"And he requested for himself that he
might die. And he arose and did
eat and drink, and went in the strength
of that meat forty days and forty
nights"
After a brief prelude in which the
preacher summed up the character of
the prophet and outlining the circum-
stances which led to his discourage
ment the lights and shadows of his
life were forcefully applied to expert
ences of the minister. Rev. DR.. Lewis
mentioned among the shadows that
cross the path of the pastor, church
quarrels, a misconstruction of his mo-
tives, particularly when the case de-
mands plain statement which appears
even bold, responsiveness on the
part of a congregation and a tendency
to shift responsibility.
Prominent among the lights of the
minister's life, DR.. Lewis mentioned
constant association with the great and
good of all times; lis opportunity to
study and to read; the sympathy of the
best people in every proper undertake
ing; the power to utilize every source of
knowledge; the delight which comes
from sympathetic appreciation; the su-
preme joy of being able to minister to
the welfare of others and the surpass-
ing joy that the Christian feels in lead
ing another to Christ.

UNDER CANOPY OF HEAVEN.

1t should be borne in mind that the
Buffalo Bill Wild West and Congress
of Rough Riders of the World is not
shown under canvas, and, from its ma
ture, could not possibly be. 1t is neces-
sarily an open air exhibition, requiring
an immense and entirely unobstructed
arena for its presentations. Only the
seats which fringe the vast parallelo-
gram containing it are canopied, and
this with an extra strong absolutely
waterproof canvas covering, as imper-
viOus to water as a slate roof. Conse-
quently, there is not the slightest dan
ger to be apprehended from storms
of any kind. Let Boreas blow until he
cracks his cheeks, and Jupiter Pluvius
turn on all his hydrants, still 10000
costly seated and sheltered on-lookers
can safely enjoy the wonderful and
magnetic scenes, without feeling that
they have had even one drop too much
the spectator under cover, the eXhi-
bition in the open air.
