We talk much Of the broadening in
tipenre OF sogfow, and there is little
doubt that when trials and mlsfor-
tunes come they bring in their train
syInpaihies and broad perceptions
Which were before unknown. But
there are other qualities which are in
cvitably lost, An old school friend was
seen again not many days ago, after a
separation Of several years. Bright
and gay, she had always been a pleas
ing memory 70 those among whom she
had lived and To whom she had been d
living lesson in good cheer SORROW Is,
however. no respector Of persons and
the cross Which she had borne was not
an easy one. The loss of hope and the
disappointment of her greatest wish
had come TO her early IN life, and only
the strength of her own character and
1.-THE sweetness of her own disposition
| kept her from losing faith in man and
| his honor. The knowledge of her sor-
row was not unknown, but the change
in the fair young girl was startling,
even then. The old time vivacity and
/ cheer--where had they gone, and
\ whence had come the quiet and re-
/ serve? Her face was very sweet and
| those who know her best as she was
| and as she is say that the dignity and
| womanliness which have come to her
are such that her old friends who knew
her in the careless days of girlhood can
! not realize. Dignity and womanliness
are very good. butIthere are those who
will mourn the litht hearted girl who
ceased to be when she learned the
meaning of sorrow.

Movement to Begin With the Watch

NEW YORK, Dec 24-With the

the active work ia the erdeavor- to open
the new century with a great religious
revival will begin Dwight L. Moody for
sone time before his death was much in
terestod in bringing about such re-
vival. and his enthusiasm so impressed
William Phillips Hall that Mr.. Hall took
up the work after Mr. Moody's death.
About two months ago letters were sent
to Protestant ministers Of ali denomina
lions asking them TO cooperate in the
work. and a committee or association Of
ministers and laymen was formed which
viii endeavor by organized effort to
arouse religious enthusiasm all over the
country. Similar REVEALS will be uE
dertaken in England and Scotland.
All denominations are to work togeth-
er ami to afford mutual help. There will
also be developed the belief OF the min
listers that independent revivals UNDER
taken outside of regularly organized
churches are not OF lasting benefit and
work at least temporary injury to the
churches because they draw from the
churches portions of their congregations.
This time the work its to be done by
regularly constituted ministers in the
churches themselves.
The first and main object is to arouse
religious enthusiasm After this there
are four subordinate purposes; To DEM
onstrate the essential unity of the Pro
testant creeds, separated though they
may be by doefrinal differences, to show
that the destructive or so-calied higher
criticism has not destroyed the faith of
the people in the Bible; to give new life
and strength to the churches, and to
bring those who are now without the
churches within their influence. Commit
tees have already been organized, and

BALTIMORE, Dec "A few days ago

Sisters of the Poor. at Valley and Pres
ton streets. It was the last tribute of
respect 10 John n Gardner. who built
ard operated the first grain elevator ever
erected south Of Mason and Dixon's lise.
Al one time Mr. Gardner was man of
considerable wealth and of great busi-
ness enterprise. At his funeral was his
aged wife. who remains under the care Of
the Little Sisters. and a gentleman who
has long been the friend of the aged
couple The Rev. A S Weber, OF Faith
Reformed Church, attended and oficiated
at the grave in Greenmount Gene >ery.
While the last years and death OF Mr.
Gardner we're full of pathetic suggestions.
his business career was one that Just now
is Of interest On March II. 1867. his
first floating elevator, named the Balti-
more was exhibited at BowIey's
wharyes. and the entire membership of
the Com and Flour Exchange was in
vited 10 witness its oaeration. The ex-
pressions were various. One member,
wac today IS a wealthy grain exporter
said il worked too rapidly. Others said
ii was ahead OF the times and could not
be successful While these adverse crit
icisms were being uttered in the pres
encs Of NJ. Gardner the elevator had
discharged bay vessel named Sam
Croft and transferred the grain into
the schooner Race Horse.
4 sentiment against the elevator arose
among what were Known as busheIraen,
VINO loaded AID discharged vessels in
/ bushel measures. Their influence de-
priyed the elevator of business. and it
vas takn to New York and sold there
Nothing daunted Mr. Gardner built for
the Northern Central Railway at Jack

1868, stationary elevator This handled
the first grain ever bought to Baltimore

1882 is well remembered, as several yes
sefs were badly burned at the time. 1t
was known as Gardner's elevator
Stationary elevators which viii hold
