A Gigantic Undertaking.

Not IN the present century has anything Of
greater importance or magnitude been Under
taken than the visitation Of every house OF a
great city in one day. This has recently been
done in Philadelphia The work was planned
and superintended by Mr.. Hugh Cork. and 1t re
Quired two months OF his time 10 make the pre-
liminary arrangements. On the day OF vista
ton. which was washington's birthday. nearly
10000 visitors started out. two by two taking q
census OF the city in the interest OF Sunday
school work. Every church IN the city was In
terested. The church preferences OF the people
was determined. and those who did not attend
any church regularly were invited TO attend the
church OF their own choice. The visitation Of a
million and a quarter of people by voluntary
service in one day is an undertaking OF gigantic
proportions. Systematic, nterdenominationai
house visitation is one OF the agencies OF the
international Sunday school convention. to which
our own state organization is auxiliary. This is
the agency that gives US our uniform lesson sys-
tenn. and nearly all OF the improvements ir
Sunday-school work and management which has
come into prominence in the last forty years.

postponed. in that beggar I r~cpulsed. In that
opportunity for witness bearing I neglected.
That little sin I admitted drove Christ out before

It was Christ who was thwarted. In the pas

Do not let me say THAT Is only a figure of

spiritual world. wherein Christ lives, and \
should live. thoughts and words are more sub
stantial and real than cross and nails and spear

body OF Christ by every ugly word and foul
thought.
There Is only one way not to reject Christ, ana
that is to accept Him. This accepting is NOT
merely Joining the church, though Il Is that. IA
is Joining Christ. 1t Is so joining your spirit TO
His that the two become one essence. You must
wish what Christ wishes. think His thoughts.

where He tells you TO go. II you do not want TO

But that is too hard" you say. How can Z
know Christs words? How am / wise enough or
good enough to think His thoughts? And my
feet are not swift enough to run His errands."
Such questionings In themselves prove that
you have not yet entered into thought OF
Christ's indwelling.

Forty-fve employees of the Central steel
works struck yesterday morning because
a demand for increase in wages of 2s
cents per hour was denied them. The
strikers were from the open hearth de-
partment in the blooming mill and include
pitmen. chargers, helps and cranemen. The
strikers also demanded an arrangement
whereby the day and night forces would
each work twelve hours. Heretofore the day
force worked eleven hours and the night
force thirteen hours, the forces alternating
each week. The mills resumed work sew
eral months ago and employ about $50
men.
The owners and managers Of the mills
declined to discuss the trouble and said
they anticipated no serious trouble. The
strikers say they will hold out and claim
to ave the sympathy Of the other de-
partments and that a general strike will
be inaugurated to-day unless their de-
mands are granted.

SECRET MEETING HELD
THE LOCAL CARPENTERS WILL
STICK TO THEIR SCALE.
A Report VIII BE Forwarded to Phil.
adeIphia-A Strike at the
Steel Works.

A meeting Of the Carpenters Union was
called last night at the request OF the gen.
eral officers in Philadelphia to ascertain
how many members of the union will stand
firm for the enforcement of the new scale
which goes into effect April 1. Last De-
cember the carpenters presented their
scale to the contractors, which Is a mini
mum rate of 35 cents an hour. eight hours
a day, beginning at 1880 in the morning and
ending at 4:3O in the afternoon, time n
one-half pay for overtime and double pay
for Sundays. The local union is looking
to the national headquarters for assist
ance in case of a strike, and this meeting
was to furnish the general officers with
definite information regarding local condi-
lions and the exact feeling Of the union.
The officers of the union deny that the
meeting was called to consider a scale of
80 cents an hour or to consider a PROPOSE
ton to recede from their demands. On the
contrary, the carpenters say they will
stand firm, and, while every means will be
employed to avert a strike, the last resort
TO enforce the scale will be accepted If it
becomes necessary.
The union claims to have trebled its
strength in the last few years. and new
members are being actively solicited every
day. The xac membership will not be
given out by the union, as its purpose is to
| keep the contractors in the dark regarding
it's strength until the time comes.
Some of the contractors oppose the scale
| as a minimum, while others say they will
| pay it providing a unanimous agreement
is secured. Harry e. Travis, business
agent of the local union, has been en-
deavoring to have the contractors organize
so they can be dealt with in a body. but
his efforts have been futiles So far he has
| been unable to get a representative state
ment from all the contractors. The car
| penters' committee is waiting to confer
with a committee from the contractors,
and unless there is some change the scale
| will go into effect April 1 without further
notification.
The German branch Of the local union
will hold a meeting tonight to vote or
what stand 1t will take, and the result OF
both meetings will be forwarded to head.
quarters in Philadelphia.

FIRE IN R STORE.


Fire was discovered about 1880 this
morning in the rear Of Marcy's jewelry
store, No. 80 West Washington street. The
fire started from an overheated stove. Fire
men tried for some minutes to get through
a heavy iron grating in the rear. but finally
were obliged to go to the front and break
in the doors there. after which the flames
were easily ex~tinguished. The smoldering
fire caused an immense quantity Of smoke,
which resulted in a large crowd gathering
in anticipation Of a disastrous fire. The
loss from fire was small, but the damage
done by smoke will be considerable.
This is the second fire in Marcy's store
within a week, the department being called
there last Sunday evening on account of a
fire starting in O similar manner.

BODY NOT


The body of Louis Rickett. who was
own in White river about two miles
from Broad Ripple Thursday evening. had
not been recovered at a late hour last
night and the searchers despaired Of sue
cess unless the body arose TO the surface.
Rickett and James Springer were stretch
ing a cable across the river for the White
River Oil Company. The boat In use was
leaky. The men could not bail the water
out fast enough, and finally both became
frightened when the boat began TO sink.
Springer held fast TO the boat, which was
held TO the shore by a rope. Rickett cast
off and soon went down about thirty-fve
feet from the shore. The water in the river
was very high. He leaves a widow and
two children.
