The promise of the Father was for
the gift OF the Holy Ghost, and Jesus
said when the Holy Ghost came upon

their history shows that His word was
true, for the Infant Church had power
IN a marvellous degree, bringing men to

without blemish (ISph. SGD.
Is this the true character of the pro-
Tossing church of Christ to-day? Who
Will say 1t is, and be responsible for
the statement? The glory of the In
FAINT Church has departed. Why? The

since the days before the Holy Ghost
was given in this PentecoStal sense.
We have now protractcd meetings, but
oh how few real revivals of religion in
mighty power? How has 1t been los =?
In modern times we have gotten into
improved ways. 1t is the fashion now
to deal with the eSternals of the reli-
gious life To the neglect of the inner ex-
periences. The church never was so
rich neHternals as it is to-day, but
alas. was it ever so poor in the inner
experiences of the Christian faith as It
is to-day? The evidences of this fact
abound OH every hand. Why the de-

denominations? Why has the church
so little power in prevailing with God
Have we not caught The spirit of the
world in maintaining outside aDpear-

The church in this, the last year of the
nineteenth century?
Mans power in the service of God
must come from God immediately
through the Holy Ghost. This is the
truth, but 1t is not popular with the
church. ana the reason it is not popular
with the church to-day is. in part, ut
least. because it requires too much real
humility, and too much waiting upon
God In earnest prayer and too much
conformity to Gods will. The church
cannot pay such n price: it is not will

up eXtcrnals upon top of eXternals, and
then they call that success. From such

which has not had it's Pentecost is
spiritually where the Infant Church
was before It had it's Pcntecost. for we
cannot stand and work and live and

have had our Pentecost. for the DIFF
ference between the non entecostal
and the Pentecostal church of to-day IS
practically the same as 1t was in ,the
beginning.
Oh. for Pentecost for the modern
church to qualify her for real service
in the power of the Holy Ghost.

pageant on May l, when the new Gov
ernor is to be inaugurated. This in
auguration is to take place with the
greatest ceremony ever seen in any
part of the United States. l imagine
that the purpose of this display is 10
impress the islanders with the
grandeur and greatness OF the United
States as well as to impress the peo-
pie of the United States with the new
policy of imperialism. by which an
American pro-Consul is TO take pos
session of the island.
after awhile, of course, we will have
another Governor sent to the Philip
pines, and he will be of so much greater
Importance than the Governor of the
little island of Porto Rico that 1 sup
pose he must have the navy escort him
across the Pacific; and must have UNI
brellas held over him like the Fey OF
Algiere and the Sultan of Morocco. We
will have him attended by our sub
ject Princess in the Sulu archipelago
with Mahomedan bodyguards, and all
that sort of thing. If that Is the pur-
pose OF keeping these army officers in
Porto Rico L will interpose no obstacle

TENURE OF OFFICE.

Mr.. Bacon (Georgia) inquired whether
United States army officers were in re-
ceipt of salaries; as civil officials in ad-
dition to their pay as army officers.
MIR. Foraker replied that the army Of
flcers were prohibited by law from ac-
cepting such additional pay.
Mr.. Bacon said he had understood
that some army officers were receiving
large salaries in addition to their regu
lar pay.
Nj. Chandler said that If so, Congress
ought to know, and suggested Mr.. Till
man offer a resolution of inquiry.
EARLY ADJOURNMENT.
Mr.. Bacon said he had understood It
to be the purpose of the leaders of the
dominant party in Congress to adjourn
early in June. He thought it inadvisa-
bic. therefore, that the limit of the
tenure OF Office of temporary officials
should be so far removed as August l,
as these officers all would have to be
confirmed by the Senate.
Mr.. Foraker suggested that most of
the appointments, at least. would be
made before adjournment.
Mr. Bacon explained his information
as to the adjournment plans came from
newspapers. intimating it was the
Presidents desire.
Mr.. Plat replied with some heat that
he was not aware the President ex-
pressed his desires through the news
papers. Senators. he believed, are all
in favor of an early adjournment, and
l think, so far as know, the sentiment
of the country, that the people will be
glad to have us adjourn even before
June.
II think the Senator is entirely cor
rect" said Mr.. Bacon. Nothing can
be done at this session of Congress
except by the dominant party, and the
less work that is done the better. And
the sooner we adjourn without doing
any more of that work the greater the
qualification of the country will be-"

under consideration. the debate contin-
uing on the Hansbrough alien miners
amendment.
Mr.. Carter presented formally his
substitute for the Hansbrough amend
