 The words are from a hymn sung by the
 congregation in the Episcopal Church of | the Advent yesterday forenoon, and Carrie l Bridewell made the incident memorable.
 It seems that the Bridewell family have always been faithful Episcopalians, Miss 1 Bridewelfs elder sister and two brothers l having long sung in the choir of the Church l of the Advent. Thus she grew up in that particular church, though she was never l of its choir: she was a child when she | went away for her studies in far lands l five years ago. Yesterday was the now famous singers first Sunday at home in all l that long while, and she went to the scene l of her childhood worship. Her father and mother, with an attendant of two, accom- l panied her, and the little party was rather
 late. as was one of the saintly mothers of l that church who had known Miss Bride well all the young womans life. Miss Bridewell hesitated to enter the church, modestly shrinking from possible disturbance of the congregation. Miss Brdewell and her party were prevailed ] upon by the mother who there to go
 to her pew which was high up near the I pulpit but reached by a side aisle. There | by they reached their seats unobserved. | When the hymn "All Hail The Power of l Jesus Name was reached Miss Bride we'll joined the congregation in singing, and her wondrous voice rung clear as | vesper bell when calm day is done Her | refrain of Grown Him Lord of All" was profoundly thrilling.
 l After Church. innumerable friends of l her childhood crowded about her and gave l friendly greeting, which seemed to touch I her tenderly. Clearly this triumphant l pupil of the public schools was happy. All of this suggests the beautiful lesson
 that if you have got anything good to say about anybody don't wait till anybody l die. It likewise suggests the still higher
 and nobler lesson, that if you have got 1 praise for somebody don't wait till some 1 body be famous. There was never yet any 1 man or woman, worthily successful in life l who didn't in the first proud flush of con- l scous triumph - victory reached after l long years of patient toll and honest en- | deavor-remember with something of bit terness the lack of words of encourage ment in the earlier days when all was toll | and struggle and when cheering speech | would have been more precious than treas | ures of gold,
 Bill? Oh, Bill is a good enough sort O | fellow runs the damning of faint praise | when poor Bill is eating his heart out try | ing to make both ends meet. By and by William becomes President | our highest conception of earthly honors- and then there is the adulation of the most illustrious statesman of us all. Very l sweet and ennobling is that praise to the 1 great man; but, ah. how infinitely more would have been simple words of good l cheer and praise to him when he was poor l Bill, the good enough fort O fellow! There is virtue in Joining in the universal | acclaim of those whom fame claims for it's own, but greater virtue is there in cheer l ing on the boy who is courageously breast | ing the foothills of that splendid noun | tain whence fames proud temple shines | afar. The poor boy the boy with his hands upon the blow and do or die in his | valiant heart; with his purpose fixed i'm
 movable upon the sign of the cross of ma terial glory; he who would fall in the final faint rather than turn back or even look back--this boy is the somebody who needs
 brave words of praise and cheer. He knows
 the temple is upward; sees it white-limned against the radiant blue of the vaster
 glory; and he is going to reach it, and
 when he shall have done so he'll not stand
 so much in need of the believing thunder
 of praise that rolls up the mountain side So; and so here's to the boys and girls | and men and women with hands upon the blow and do or die in their hearts!
 
 Hobson has already discovered that which
 Miss Bridewell is now discovering, that
 there is honor for one amongst ones own homefolk. Hobson is enjoying his second
 home triumph as the Romans used to call
 great national greetings to their heroes.
 The Senate and the people of Rome de-
 creed triumphs to the successful brave. In
 our day We also decree triumphs, but diff ferently.
 | No other young man of our time has been subjected to such fierce public glare as
 Hobson, and he has stood the test, regard
 less of the ribald buffoonery of the news
 papers. aided by jealousy in his own pro- fession of arms. He innocenty compiled with the urgent solicitations of few silly
 women for indelicate public intimacies,
 and forthwith the fools flooded the public
 prints with their foolishness, He suffered some public attentions from five women in
 Kansas City,, and irresponsible sensation
