The Sensational Preacher.

One of the most serious obstacles in
the way of the church of Christ in our
day is the sensational preacher. The
freedom permitted in some churches for
the eccentric utterances of men under
the pretense of preaching destroys the
sanctity of the pulpit and brings untold
damage to the influence of divine truth
among men Egotism, the seeking Of
notoriety, the ad captandum vulgus,
are disgusting exhibitions of rotten
humanity wherever found, but in the
Christian pulpit they are criminal. No
doubt all the denominations have had
their notifications in this line If
church discipline cannot he brought to
beal. the weight of public opinion in
the churches and out of them should be
felt. Stay away from such ii ministry,
and let your absence be your witness.

EX-GOV. FLOWER DIED.
Victim of Stomach Trouble and Heart
Failure-A Prominent Career In
Politics and Wall Street.

New YORK, May 13.-Former Gov
ernor Roswell P. Flower died at the
Eastport Country club, at Eastport, L.
I. Mr. Flower was taken i'll with Sc
we're attack of acute Indigestion. Symp
toms of heart failure supervened and
he grew steadily worse until the time
of his death.
Roswell PettibOne Flower was born
in Theresa; Jefferson county, n. Y,
Aug. !, 1880 He worked with his
brothers on two farms his mother
owned, and spent his time between
school sessions in the hardest kind OF
labor. He became deputy postmaster OF
Watertown, n. Y, i'll 1858 and kept his
place six pears Then he became part
ner i'll the jewelry firm of Hitchcock &
Flower, bought out his partner at the
end of two years and continued in the
business until 1869.
Mr.. Flower came to New York in that
year to take charge of the estate of
Henry Keep, whose widow was Mrs
Flowers sister
Mr.. Flower formed, i'll 1870, the firm
of Benedict. Flower & Co., in which he
joined Z. c. Benedict and H. H. Tru-
man. This tirmwas dissolved in 1872,
when MIR. Flower WIS i'll for several
months. Not long afterward he organ
lied the banking firm of Flower & Co.,
which has since been Il power in Wall
street. Mr.. Flower always was a
Democrat. In the early seventies he
helped Samuel J. Tilden to develop the
famous organization which exposed
Tweed and enjoyed many other tri-
umphs.
Mr.. Flower was chosen cha irman of
the Democratic state committee in 1877,
and i'll 1881 he defeated William Wal
dorf Astor for congress after a hot
campaign i'll the Eleventh district. He
refused denomination. He was elected
governor Of the state i'll 1894.
In the cholera epidemic i'll the late
summer of 1892, thousands of passen-
gers arriving from Europe were quar-
antined on shipboard down the bay. AS
all emergency measure Governor Flower
bought with his own money the Fire
Island hotel, i'll the name of the state,
and ordered that the passengers be sent
there.
Good authorities estimate that MIR.
Flowers profits in the last IS months i'll
Wall street have exceeded $40, ,O00, 900,
He became in that time the acknowl-
edged speculative leader in the finan-
cial markets of the United States.
Mr.. Flower married Sarah NJ. Wood
ruff, Al DAUGHTER of Morris NJ Woodruff
of Watertown, on Dec. 26> 1858. Three
children were born, of whom only one
survives, Emma Gertrude, who is the
wife of John B. Taylor Mr. Flower

cent in the year would be less interest
ing if consumption a year ago We're not
far beyond anything previously realized.
Yet proposed combinations hinder large
orders in bars and sheets, while the
structural business is as heavy as ever
in small lots, with big contracts about
TO come at Chicago for the drainage
canal; and the plate business, too big for
all the works TO handle, invites no con-
solidation, the Chicago and Philadel-
.phia works being behind i'll deliveries

mands for 1000 tons vessel plates and

Nobody who has studied statistics
can tell why purchases of 1000, 1000
pounds of Australian wool in bond for
export this week, following others in
previous weeks, should advance prices
of wool, nor were purchases of 10000
pounds territory wool by speculator
readily explainable. But is is just the
time for growers to ask all they can
hope to get, and just when the largest
manufacturers We're ready to buy only
the smaller are buying. Prices are said
to have been generally advanced, with
higher demands from the interior hold
ers. But it remains question whether
sales of 10, ,499, 900 pounds for the week,
against 5,369, $50 pounds in 1892 and
only little more i'll 1897, will prove
profitable. The market for woolen
goods is waiting for evidences of de-
mand which do not yet appear and the
delay i'll getting the new combinations
into working order causes some heSit;l-
ton
If government estimates We're consid-
cred reliable, one based on entirely un-
known acreage Of wheat and cotton
would be everywhere resented Thus,
with official returns pointing to IL great
decrease i'll winter wheat production,
the price dropped 1 cent, and cotton de-

advance of sixteenth for spot.
Nobody can base a sensible estimate

no account of the acreage of winter

that can be said is that worse returns

CLEVELAND. May 13.-As the result

cations will be sent by Cuyahoga county

Columbus June 1. Two years ago
Mayor Mckisson obtained control of the
county convention and the anti-McKis-
son men retired and held one of their
own. Each convention appointed Il
committee of II to take the party man-

The board of elections, appointees of
Mayor McKisson, recognized the Nc
Kisson committee, but the other con-
tinued at work, and was one of the
forces that defeated McKisson for re-
election this spring. The McKisson
committee has called caucuses and a
convention to choose delegates. The
anti Mckisson chairman, J. w. Hol-
colmb, proposed to appoint another set,
believing the state convention would
seat them.
Holcomb, being anti -McKisson, has
lately become anti-Hanna as well and
naturally an ariti-Holcomb clement
arose. Thursday his opponents won over
two of his men and forced a meeting,
which was held Thursday night. Hol-
comb and five members withdrew from
the meeting and gave out a list of dele
gates which had been appointed by a
subcommittee previously authorized by
the whole committee.
The nine remaining members, hav-
ing quorum, continued their meeting.

1'hOrnnSOn chairman Holpnmh at nOcp
forwarded his list of delegates to Chair
man Huling of the state central commit
tee, and these will undoubtedly be the
ones admitted by him to the floor of the
convention, as Huling and Holcomb are
strong advocates of the nomination of
Harry Daugherty for governor.
The contesting delegations will b,
the McKisSon delegation, to be chosen
i'll convention, and the -Holcomb

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.

4Opic For the Week Beginning May
14-Comment by Rev. s. II. Doyle.
ToPIC.-God's- covenant and ours.-Ps. cs,
t-l0 "a Christian Endeavor pledge meeting. ,
A covenant is a mutual compact be-
tween two or more persons. Abraham
and Abinelech made covenant. Joshua
made covenant with the people. Jona-
than and David made covenant The
covenants of God with man practically
partake of the same characteristics. 1t
is obvious, however, that in any cove
nant between God and man God must
make the initial movement. God agrees
or pledges Himself to do certain things
dependent upon certain action by man.
In the covenant of works He promised
man eternal life on condition of perfect
obedience. In the covenant of grace He
promises to man eternal life, dependent
upon mans faith in Christ. Gods cove
nant has been essentially the same in
all ages, though its form has been con-
stantly changing to suit the changed
conditions of human life. At one time
it was the promise of the woman s seed !;
to Noah the promise of forbearance; to
the patriarchs the promise of son; to
Moses the promise of a prophet; to the
monarchy the promise of king; to
Isaiah the promise of suffering serv-
ant, and then at last in Christ all forms
men realized The incarnate son of God
was the woman's 8 seed, Abraham s son,
David's royal child and successor and
Jehovah's servant. Thus God always
has and always will keep his covenant
But we also may covenant with God.
We may make solemn and sacred pledges
to God that we will perform certain
duties in life Every Endeavorer has
made a covenant with God. The En-
deavorer's covenant is the Christian
Endeavor pledge. God s attitude toward
His covenant with us should decide for
US our attitude toward our covenant
with God
1. God remembers His covenant. "He
hath remembered His covenant. for
ever. God never forgets His promises
to us, but, alas, how often we forget our
promises to Himl How many Endeavor-
ers have forgotten their solemn covenant
with God. Let MS take God as model
and not forget our covenant.
2. God is impressed with the solemn
and sacred character of His covenant
He confirmed it. with an oath, swearing
even by Himself that He would perform
it. How lightly many Endeavorers es-
TEEN their promises to Godl They
would not fail to meet friend upon ap-
pointment, yet how often they fail to
keep their appointments with God.
3. Gods covenant is an everlasting
covenant. 1t was not for a day, but for
ever There should be more of this di
vine character of -permanence and per-
petuity in our covenant with God.
