AT THE SOUTH SIDE
BAPTIST CHURCH
DR.. Davidson breaches a Mag
nifiCent Sermon.
TEMPTATIONS OF RICHES
Took His Text From Timothy 1:v1:1X-
Broad and Comprehensive Expo
sition of the Scriptural Pas
sage-Curse of Gold.

Despite the threatening weather yester-
day morning a large audience was in at
tendance at the South Side Baptist church
to hear Rev. Dr. A. c. Davidson, who
spoke from the following text: "But they
that will be rich fall into temptation, and
a snare, and into many foolish and hurt
full lusts which drown men in destruction
and perdition." Tim. 1:vi:ix.
DR.. Davidson's exegesis of this passage
of the scripture was broad and compre-
hensive, and his illustrations exceedingly
apt The gist of the pastors discourse was
embodied in a fervent warming against I'M
due haste being made in the requirement
of worldly possessions; against cold blooded
striyings for earthly riches which at best
can only give pleasure for sea son; against
longings for ephemeral treasures which
may be corrupted and cannot endure.
The Late Vice President
'"The life of man who has just passed
away said DR.. Davidson, will furnish an
illustration of what may be attained by
strict adhearance to moral duty and a
| religion. alude to Vice-President Hobart.
One may amass wealth by legitimate meth
DDS and be a good man, but let not the
struggle for gold exclude the nobler as
pirations from the soul.
Hobart began life as a poor boy and by
a life of real piety, not only resolved, and
justly, the esteem of his fellow man where
ever he was known, but amassed great
wealth besides.
THE gain for life, is life of pety with
contentment," declared the speaker land
how miserable and barren is our passage
through the present world If We have not
contentment.
'In the fierce struggle for gain we are
subject to many temptations; by some
gambling is resorted to, others are tempted
to thievery, the inordinate thirst often
leading US into many things that are fool
ish, hurtful and lustful A man dying in
Kentucy some time since, and supposed to
be destitute, found to possess great
wealth. He was a miser.
A similar Case
"a case similar in every particular oc-
Cured in our own city. The lust for
wealth, the greed for riches, had caused
these miserable beings to hoard up all that
came within their grasp.
And so it Is: My plea to you is to make
| gain, make what you can, but accomplish
| 1t by fervent reliance upon God, make
it honestly, make 1t fairly, make 1t in the
right way. To rely on our own efforts or
on our own strength is but to fail, for we
accomplish nothing, but with Gods aid we
can and will attain to any height, if we
do the bidding of our heavenly Father"

THE TOWER OF LONDON.
Looking Up a Quaint and Ancient
Ceremony.

Locking Up u 0uAAnC anu <Anclene
Ceremony.
The main g~uardhouse at the Tower,
which has just been pulled down, was
hard by the Bloody Tower. It is at
this spot, says the London Graphic,
that the quaint and ancient ceremony
Of locking up the tower is nightly per-
formed, as it has been for centuries. A
few minutes before II o'clock the head
warder, or yeoman porter, as he is
properly styled, clothed in a red cloak,
carrying a ~portentous bunch of keys,
and accompanied by another warder
carrying a lantern, appears in front OF
the main guardhouse and roars out,
Escort, keys!" The sergeant turns
out with some of the men, and follows
the yeoman to the outer gate, the whole
party being challenged by all the SEN
tries with who goes there?" and the
answer is simply keys" The gates
being locked the keys are brought back
to the main guard. Here, the sentry
stamps and roars out, "Who goes
there?'
Keys" is the reply
Whose keys?"
"Queen Victoria's keys"
Advance, Queen Victoria's keys.
And all's well.
God bless Queen Victoria!" cries
the. yeoman porter.
"Amen," responds the main guard.
Present arms!" cries the officer on
duty, and amid the rattle of the salute
he kisses the hilt of his sword. The
yeoman porter marches off with the
keys and deposits them in the lieuten-
ants lodgings, and from that time
throughout the livelong night you can
only circulate within the tower pre-
cincts if you know the countersign.

Something for Nothing.

There is no form of deceit more like
ly to occur than self-deception, and of
all kinds of self-deception none are
more tempting than the things which
happen when man endeavors to get
something for nothing. Nor is it more
reprehensible to get money in this
way than it is to get a reputation
without giving an equivalent-in fact,
there is more damage in the latter
than in the former proceeding. All
sorts of gambling arise from the desire
to get something for nothing without
rendering adequate recompense, stock
gambling and the bucket shops and its
fruits. The world Is twisted and torn
by it's tremendous tendency.-Rsv. W,
I. Chase.

so. Go on. Tell me what the woman
is doing?"
"She has a child in her arms"
"a boy?"
81 should say so.''
"My boy-my son! Thank God!
There may be still a chance for them.
All, if I could but speak one word to
them. Go on-go on"
"She is leaning over the bulwarks-
ah, 1 see what for. There is a spar in
the water, and a man, with n arm
over it, has dashed a little girl to it.
I see-I see! He intends to try and
save the lot of them. He is calling
out to the women-I can not hear what
he says-ah, 1 suppose he is telling her
to throw the boy to him. She bends
toward him. Lord have mercy
And at that moment we were sucked
down into the sea. With the last
words he spoke, the ship had reached
the water line, and sank in a wild whirl
of waters. A prayer passed through
my mind, and believed my time had
come. But the mast which had held me
fastened to the deck now proved to be
my salvation. Immediately the deck
was below the water the mast fioated
off, leaving me free, and with the in
stinct of self-preservation l struck out

shortly after l rose to the surface Of the
water my hands came upon a small
piece of rock jutting up from the sea.
Not knowing it's size or extent, I OBJ
tanned a risky foothold upon it, and,
dashing the waters from my eyes, I
looked eagerly forward. Surely 1t was
by a special act of Providence that,
amidst the struggling heads and limbs
of the hapless drowning persons around
me, I saw but N face, which rose like
an apparition from the water. It was
Mabel's face, turned toward the rock

look Of convulsed JOY, amaZement, and
terror-terror, as though she were gaZ-

flashed into her eyes. Her arms were
raised aloft, and in them was a child
my child, Bob! What was to be done
in that dread moment of my life? If
l plunged into the sea it would be fatal
to all of us, for the drowning persons
would inevitably clutch at me and
carry me down with them, 1 decided
instantly upon my plan. With one

partially lowered myself into the water,
and held out my other arm, which
judged would just reach Mabel, in the
expectation that she would seize my
hand and that 1 should be able to draw
her to my rock of refuge. But as ]
laid my hand upon my boy, Mabel fell
from me, or was torn from me by g
fierce wave, and sunk before my eyes
With my boy pressed close to my bos-

to rescue her; but I was swept away

how it happened, l found myself being

dear Mabel. But the men held me fast,
and, when l was in the boat, began to
pull away from the cave into the
brighter light.

They continued to pull doggedly
away, and kept their hands upon me
to prevent me from throwing myself
into the water. Binding tears came
to my ayes and flowed over. I knew
that it was vain to resist, and l knew
besides that the few minutes that had
interviewed were fatal minutes, and car

beautiful girl who had become my wife,

effects, but is not suited to all who are
weak and need building UP.
Very thin persons, the anaemic, con-
~valescents from severe illness, and es-
pecially persons with weak or dis
eased hearts, are not apt to be bene
flied by s~ea-baths, and should as a
rule avoid them. The effect of the colo
water is to drive the blood from the
surface to the internal organs, and the
resulting disturbances of circulation
may be dangerous in those with heart
disorders or weakened b~lood-vessels
for this reason the aged, especially,
should be very careful.
These remarks apply to saltwater
bathing as we'll as to surf-bathing, but
surf-bathing in n case is distinctly
unsuited to all but the robust.
Certain precautions are advisable for
all who battle in the sea. In the first
place, bathing should never be I'M
dulged in when overheated, nor within
two hours after a hearty meal. On the
other hand, bathing on a perfectly
empty stomach, as before breakfast, is
not advisable; it is a good plan for ear
ly morning bathers to take half a glass
of milk and a soda cracker before start
ing for the beach.
The time of staying in the water
must depend upon the individual; some
people can stay in fifteen or twenty
minutes without i'll effect, but for most
people a ive-minute plunge is as much
as is advisable.
The habit of going in and out a num-
Der Of times, sitting on the beach to
dry in the intervals, is far from wise;
OF course n should invariably make

tion of chilling or teeth-chattering, an6
should there Immediately strip off the
wet clothing and rub back, chest and
limbs with a rough towel.
One of the most serious accidents
from sea-bathing is Inflammation OF
the ears. No one who has a discharge
from the ears should ever battle in the
sea, especially in the surf, and all
would do well to stop the ears with a
little plug of cotton before going into
the water.
Many people who cannot battle in the
sea are greatly benefited by the sea all
and by taking sponge-baths, or ever
tub-baths, in salt water in their owl
rooms every morning, this being fol
lowed by brisk rubbing with the rougl
bath-towel. The tonic effect of thi'
procedure is marked.

BostOnese Heap Attentions Upon the

Boston. Feb. 10. The last day OF
President McKinley's visit to Boston
was spent in one continual round Of
pleasure, and the different events
which were crowded into the few re-

with bewildering rapidity. The presi-

and at 10 o'clock was EN- route for Ire

diately following this carriages We're
taken for the state house, where the
president visited the legislature in
Joint session and made an inspiring
address. Here also Secretary Long
created much amusement by his al
lusions to the time when he welded
the gavel rs speaker of the Massachu-
sets house of representatives. After
a short reception the presidential party
was taken on a tour through the sub
way and thence TO the Algonquin club,
where a breakfast was rendered to the
gentlement by the members OF the
Commercial club. At $50 the party
was taken to the station and they left
for Washington at $40.

SHUT OFF.
Too Many Discharges From the Fifa

teenth Minnesota Sought.
Washington, Feb. 21.-N6. more dis
charges will be granted to members of
the Fifteenth Minnesota unless the APP
plicant is physically disqualified for
military service. The press for indi-
vidual discharges has been so great
during the past sixty days that the
regiment is now reduced to peace
basis, which is eighty-three men to d
company. A great many of these are
absent on furlough or sick leave.
Therefore it has been decided by the
department to draw line and shut off
all applications. A large number of
Endorsements from captains of COM
panies for individual discharges will
be returned unapproved. The present
uncertain state of what is to be done
for army reorganization will not JUST
fly the granting of further applications.
