ing Prices. Gossip of

The rumored loss to British arms at
Meerkatsfontein eyerted depressing in
fluence on the London markets yester-
day, where sentiment was reported less
hopeful of an early settlement Of the war.
The feeling was manifest in shade low
err prices for American securities, but
this eXerted no effect upon the New
York market, except for few of the in
ternational stocks.i
The lower prices abroad were neutral
lied by recovery in all the industrial
stocks in Wall Street, but dulness fell
upon the market after the first half hour,
and prize b came irregular.
The public we're not in the trading,
and moreover did not seem to be at
tracted by the declining prices. The
pools having sold the greater part of
heir holdings were not obliged to ex-
tend support. Atchinson, the Pacitics

bulges only. There was considerable
short interest in the latter. Baltimore
& Ohio held up eteadier than the others
because Mr.. Keene was not able to sell
all he wanted to, and the stock is still
pretty closely held by outsiders.
1t is said that Vice Presidents Prevos

BISHOP HURsT'S SERMON.
A Strong Appeal for More Christian
Fellowship ana Love.

A large congregation listened with much
attention yesterday morning to Bishop
Hurst. at the Hamline NJ. f, Church. The
Bishop selected for his text John xv:l5-
"Henceforth / call you not servants, bul
brethren" He announced before preaching
that the pastor of the church. DR.. Stryker
was recovering from an illness of several
weeks and that he would be able 10 occupy
the pulpit shortly.
The substance Of Bishop Hurst's sermon
was an emphatic appeal to the people to
think more of Christian fellowship and
love. He opened by remarking on the
beautiful spirit of friendship existing be-
tween Christ Mary Martha. and Lazarus
He went on to tell CT Christ's love for chill
dren. and cited Jesus reception of Nico-
demus.
Love" said the Bishop. sis like the
wind No one knoweth whence it cometh
or whittier it goeth. II is felt by all, but

The Bishop spoke CT the love felt be-
tween James. Peter. John. and Christ. and
how the Saviour, when on the cross. gave
the care of his mother to these three dis
cipies. In his deep sorrow and agony
Christ's love for mankind never ceased.
Such love as his shall live forever; such
friendship cannot die. IL is immortal, in
finite We should love as little children.
We should love one another The great
love which all Christians bear one another
is surest proof of the perfectness of be-
lief in the Saviour's love. In this love We
shall. in passing from this material world,

of the city they have every reason to feel

in part:
I'VE must trace the history of Gods an
cient people and learn the real object of
their worship. In doing so We find that we
must make Jesus Christ the great central
objective feature OF our lives, or our labor
is in vain. We must worship him in spirit
and in truth. and We must learn what is
meant by the spirit and the truth. This
temple is made sacred by the presence OF
the Lord, and We must recognize God as
the creator. the builder Of everything. l
take a special JOY in gazing on the beauti-
full flowers because | know that it was
Gods hand that created them. Unless VIC
recognize God as the creator of all things
We live as strangers in the community OF
those who do; we are outcasts until We see
the true light. He must be the real object
of our lives He built this world, and then
he came to live upon it. and when he gave
up his life on the cross he said: The work
is done
Unless we recognize him as the central
point. our lives are all vanity; unless we
have that recognition in our hearts today
our lives are incomplete. The man who
recognizes God in all things becomes new
mana newly-buiit creature, for he is the
great Master Builder. Character-building
is a part OF the work left us as heritage
by Jesus Christ. and we must model our
lives upon that of the great Master Builder.
II we build upon the foundation of the
apostles, we build upon the foundation or
Christ, for it was that foundation which
they took as the basis Of their temple
Gods workshop has one great room devoted
to the building of character and it Is there
where we must seek our models. / oeseech
you all to take to your hearts the task OF
building upon that true foundation, Tor
upon it alone shall ye enter into the king
dom of God

The dedicstory services of the now

Eighth Street northeast. between F and G
Streets, yesterday morning. large con-
gregation was in attendance and listened
to an excellent discourse by Elder X. c.
Russell, Of Baltimore some splendid sing
ing by the quartette. and an interesting
short story, read by Miss Ida Heaton,
daughter of DR.. Heaton. on the building of
a church in mining district OF southern
California.
The church, which has been built on the
foundations of the one which was de-
stroyed by fire few months ago, cost
81. 500 all but S300 OF which was
collected from the insurance company
which held the risk and the balance has
been paid by the congregation.
It IS a frame structure, handsomely car
peted in a rich red. and capable of ac-
commodating about 800 people. The foun-
datons of the old building were utilized
to erect the new one. 1t is heated by fur
mace. and in the installation of this feature
care was taken that no hot-air hues came
in contact with the woodwork, as this Is
supposed to have been the cause of the
fire in the former building. The congrega-
ton shares the building with that OF the
German Lutherans. and previous to the fire
there was rear addition in which a school
was conducted. The site is the one on
which stood the first Presbyterian church
erected in that section of Washington. The
vieinsge was sparsely built up, and that
church drew its congregations from broad
