YOUNG BAPTISTS WERE
GIVEN GOOD ADVICE

At o'clock in the afternoon the mem
bers of the Baptist Young Peoples Union
came together in the auditorium of the
church and for two and a half hours lis
tened to some rousng speeches on practi-
cal Christianity and the true spirit of the
simon-pure Baptist. Eloquence from the
four quarters of the country was poured
out without stint and that the meeting
was intensely interesting to those who
participated was demonstrated by the
fact that there were no less than one
thousand persons, young and old, present
to listen.
The meeting was opened with prayer
and song and then Rev. C. M. Carter of
Muncie, Ind. was introduced to his audi
ence. He had for his subject THE Baptist
1t was talk of instruction to
the younger Baptsts of the church,
but It was listened list , to with wrapt
the younger people present. Dr. Carter
decried narrow sectarianism that ac-
knowledged the good in no other creeds
out that every true Baptist should know
and have faith in his own church and its
tenets.
He was followed by Rev w. c. Par
fridge, DID,, of Cincinnati, Ohio, who
spoke at considerable length on Training
for Service He held up the fact to the
room in the field for earnest workers, and
dwelt earnestly upon the necessity for
beginning, preparation during the earlier
years and outlined the plan of training
that the older heads had found of great
est efficacy.
Rev E. E. Chivers. general secretary of
the Union, delivered a sermon that in
eloquence has not been excelled during
the present convention. He dealt with the
spirit that should dominate every true
Baptist, the relations of the Baptist
church with the churches of other sects,
and he outlined clearly the broad princi-
pie upon which members of the church
might live in relation with members of
others without in the remotest jeopardiz-
ing their creed and privileges.
At $50 o'clock America" was sung by
the congregation and the services for the
evening were announced.

sermon His text was, Jesus of Nazareth
went about doing good-Acts KISS In
part he said:
This is the most attractive picture CIV
en- by inspiration of the Son of God. More
than that, it is the only of the divine pho
tographs best suited to our age. We live
in an age of practical benevolence, of util-
itarian tendencies. The Romans en-
phasized power, the Greeks learning, the
Hebrews religion, the Americans deeds
as proving creeds. The Christ that the
world needs to-day is the one which
matches sermons with services, doctrines
with doings, creeds with characters.
ut is remarkable fact that Christ
wrote nothing. His impress upon the
world comes through acts rather than
through writings Plato and Homer wrote
and lived, Christ wrote not, yet lives as
no Greek author ever lived. The secret
of his influence over men is found in the
fact that he illustrated in his life the
doctrines of his mind blending theory
and practice with perfect purity of pri-
vate life and public action. The tributes
of the great men of the world to him, as
from Carlyle and Leckey, are based
chiefly upon his tender philanthropy and
noble living.
And Christ buttressed his deed with
his creed. Three majestic and supreme
doctrines characterize his teaching and
these doctrines the world needs to-day:
First, the Fatherhood of God. Once God
was more to man Judge; now he is
Father; Second, the brotherhood of the
race. The ancient Hebrew was bigoted
and narrow. No man to-day can be
true follower of Christ who does not be-
lieve in the brother man as the one to be
loved and helped. There was no poor la
Dor that Christ would not touch, no home
of squalor that he would not enter, no
humble class he would not help. An un-
generous soul can never be the soul of
a Christian. Third, the improbability of
a soul. Once it was a wish, now it is
conviction once it was probability
now it is certainty. BY the grave Christ
stood where philosophers had thrown un-
answered their questions into the dark
ness, and he said I am the resurrection
and the life All the darkness of his day
he would illumine by revelation from the
other world, where once he dwelt in an
neffable way with the Father.
THE great lesson from all this is that
no life can be true that is not benevolent
Christianity without these elements is
sounding brass and tinkling cymbal
Better have little light and much love
than to have a full revelation and mar

Money.
CAME FROM THE APOLLO MINE
ON UNGA ISLAND.

The steamer National City attracted a
great deal of attention at Main-street
wharf yesterday morning. She was all
the way from Unga Island with cargo
of sand and the crowd could not I'M
derstand how such an article came to be
shipped so great a distance when enough
of the same kind of stuff to load every
vessel ahoat could be procured at the
ocean beach.
Then the National City was very deep
ly laden and such great care had been
taken that not an ounce of the deck load
should be lost. The forward part of the
main deck had been turned into a large
box with an arched roof. This was made
throughout of inch planking and was fas-
tened together as securely as nails and
the joiners' art could make it. Tons of
water wash over the structure but never
move it the fraction of an inch.
Just forward of the pilot house a well
was left in order to catch the water that
might get into the house and percolate
through the cargo, and in this way any
chance of loss was reduced to mini
mum. The crew of the vessel said the
cargo consisted of $50 tons of sand, and
at first blush it seemed incredible that
such care should be taken of the cargo.
But when it is known that this particular
sand contains 500 per ton gold dust
and that it is on its way to Selby's Smelt-
ing Works, the care taken to save every
ounce of it is explained.
The National City left here for Unga
Island about a month ago. She carried
very large cargo and twenty miners for
the Apollo mine. The passage north was
a very unpleasant one and everybody
aboard was glad when it was over. 1t
took some time to discharge and load the
vessel and it was not until the 18th inst.
that Captain Dettmers was ready to start
back again. Two miners from the Apollo
mine-W. GUSHING and A Wilde-took
passage on the National City They have
spent a year on Unga Island and have
come home for a rest 1t blew very hard
the first few days out and Captain Dett-
mers had to run his vessel into Sand
Point for shelter.
The barkentine Fremont and schooner
Winchester of the codfishing fleet had
been at Sand Point, but had gone back to
the banks before the National City got in.
The mail steamer Newport reached Unga
on the 18th inst. and the sealing schooner
Olga put in there for water a few days
before that, but went on her cruise again
as soon as her water tanks were filled.
The last few days of the passage Captain
Dettmers had to economic his coal sup
ply. 1t began to run short, and in order
to reach port the National City had to
come along at half speed. 1t was origi
nally the intention to have taken her to
Selby'S direct. but instead of that she had
to go to Main-street wharf and coal up.
AS soon as that was done she went up the
river and her cargo of gold-bearing sand
will be carefully discharged to-day.

In dwelleth righteousness"
All prophetic visions which relate to this
subject represent the mountain OF the l<oro
exalted above the hills, and in other
glowing figures reveal it as blessing in tenn
poral as well as in spiritual things. Jesus
himself confirms this view in some or ms
parallels, and there is hardly room left for
serious controversy.
That Christianity is fitted for domestlca-
ton in all the earth is evidence OF the gulf
that separates 1t from other powers. FRO
lessor Seeley is filled with wonder at the
many-sidednesS of Great Britain ruling
despotically in Asia and democratically in
Canada and adapting herself TO Moslem eX-
clusiveness in the East and to free thought
and spirituality in the West. Perhaps the
secret is not difficult to solve. But there
is a more startling phenomenon; 1t is that
of a religion assuming to be capable OF
satisfying the cravings of mankind, and to
rule for the common good European and
Asiatic, Saxon and Slav, civilized and saw
age.
Two tendencies are observable to-day. The
one is toward secular Imperialism. 1t is
the dream of nationalities in the old world,
and is not without charm for ourselves in
the new Success along this line apart from
religion is freighted with ultimate mischief
and peril But the other trend is more en-
couraging and more ennobling; 1t is toward
the triumphant imperialism of Christianity.
