LOOK FORWARD.
By T. De Witt Talmage.

I want to show you to-day the pic
ture of Stephen gazing into heaven.
Before you take a leap you want to
know where you are going to n
Before you climb a ladder you want
to know to what point the ladder
reaches. And it was right that Ste
phen, within a few moments of heaven,
should be gazing into it.
We would all do we'll to be found
in the same posture. There is enough
in heaven to keep us gazing. A man
Of large wealth may have statuary in
the hall and paintings in the sitting
room and works of art in all parts OF
the house, but he has the chief pic
lures in the art gallery, and there
hour after hour you walk with cata-
logue and glass and ever-increasing
admiration.
Well, heaven is the gallery where
God has gathered the chief treasures
of His realm. The whole universe is
His palace.
In this lower room where we stop
| there are many adornments; tessel-
lated floor of amethyst, and on the
| winding cloud stairs are stretched out
on which commingle azure
| and purple and saffron and gold.
But heaven is the gallery in which
the chief glories are gathered. There
| are the brightest robes. There are the
| richest crovns There are the highest
ex~hilarations John says of it: 1.-The
kings Of the earth shall bring their
honor and glory into it"
And I see the procession forming.
| and il the line come all empires, and
the stars spring up into an arch for the
hosts to march under. The hosts keep
step to the sound of earthquake and
the pitch of avalanche from the noun
tains, and the flag they bear is the
flame Of a consuming world, and all
heaven turns out with harps and trum-
pets and myriad-voiced reclamation OF
angelic dominion to welcome them in
and so the kings of the earth bring
their honor and glory into it.
Do you wonder that good people of

ten stand. like Stephen, looking into
heaven? We have many friends there.
There is not a man to-day so isolat-
ed in life but there is some one in
heaven with whom he one shook
hands. AS a man gets older the num-
Der of his celestial acquaintance very
rapidly multiplies. We have not had
one glimpse of them since h night we
kissed them good-by, and they went
away; but still we stand gazing at
heaven.
AS when some of our friends go
across the sea: we stand on the dock
or on the steam tug and watch them,
and after awhile the hull Of the vessel
disappears, and then there is only a
patch Of sail on the sky, and soon that
is gone, and they are all out of sight,
and yet we stand looking in the same
directien; so our friends go away
from US into the future world we keep
looking down through h narroWs, and
gazing and gazing, as though we eX-
pected that they would come out a
stand on some cloud n give US one
| glimpse of their blissfu1 and rams
figured faces.
While you long to join their COM
partnership and the years and the lays
go with such tedium and they break
| your heart, INC the viper Of pain and
sorrow and bereavement keeps gnaW-
ing at you vitals, you stand still, TX
Stephen, gazing into heaven.
You wonder if they have changed
| since you saw them last. You wonder
if they would recognize your face now,
| so changed has it been with trouble.
! You wonder if, amid the myriad de-
! lights they have, they care as much
for you as they used to.
/ You wonder if they look any older;
and sometimes in the e~veningtide,
| when the house is all quiet, you Won
! der if you should call them by their
| first name if they would not answer.
n perhaps sometimes you do make
the experiment, and when no one but
God and yourself are there you dis
tinctly call their names and listen, and
sit gazing into heaven.
With a pathos and simplicity pecu-
liar to the Scriptures, the Bible says
of Stephen: HE fell asleep" The
text takes that symbol of slumber tc
describe his departure, so sweet was
it, so contented was it, so peaceful was
it.
There may be no hand to close youl
eyes, and no breast on hic to res
: your dying head, and no candle to lif
the night, but the odors of Gods hang.

of the King. No more rents to pay
no more agony because flour has gons
up, no more struggle with the world
the flesh, and the devil; but peace
long, deep, everlasting peace.

A GREAT
Daily Argus, Monday.

Daily Argus, Monday.
Yesterday about fifteen hundred
people assembled in the Goldsboro
Tobacco Warehouse to attend the
exercises Of the County Sunday
School Convention, aud to hear
the sermon Of DR.. John G. Kilgo,
President of Trinity College.
The news that this distinguish
ed man would preach brought to-
gether a great crowd.
Many of our people had heard
DR.. Kilgo, and knew what to ex-
pect, but large numbers of our
citizens had never listened to him,
and they went away feeling that
the half had not been told Of the
splendid ability and magnificent
oratory of DIR. John G. Kilgo.
The common opinion is that nc
finer sermon was eve preached in
Goldsboro.
In point of ability DR.. Kilge
has no superior in the State. Any
where and everywhere-as college
president, in the pulpit, on the
lecture platform, or in the rough
aud tumble of debate, he always
measures up to the occasion.
DIR. Kilgo preached again las
night to a packed house at ST
John Methodist church

Claims That He Only Borrowed

Daily Argus, Monday.
Joha Wright Evans, a young
mulatto about Is years of sge,
was tried this morning before
Mayor Peterson for stealing DR..
W. e. Powell's horse on last
Friday night.
The evidence at the trial dis
closed the fact that in addition to
taking the horse, there is a cog
mixed up in the transaction and
thereby comes the cause for the
whole trouble and which result
ed in sending Evans to jail to
await the converting Of Superior
Court next Monday morning.
Evans hal been working for
DIR. Powell and during his work
around the home Of DIR. Powel)
in this city it was noticed that
he had adog following him. This

took the horse into his yard
and he recognized the animal as

Next morning after DR.. Powell
had missed his horse and was pre-,
pairing to advertise for the thief,
a son of MI. Adams appeared in
the city with the horse and deliv.

Evans did not put in an appear

suspicion fell on him as being the

that he only borrowed the hors'
to go after the dog and that he in
tended to bring the horse back
that night. This statement il
credited both by the Mayor ant
DR.. Powell, but taking a hors'

an offense in the eyes of the Law
as horse stealing and is punish

RECIPROCITY WITH GERMANY
Result of shap Diplomatic Work for Sew
eral Years.

Washington. July 1G.-The German
American reciprocity agreement, which
was proclaimed Saturday here and in
Berlin. appears to be the result of
sharp diplomatic manoeuvering over
period of several years on the mean
ing of the favored nation" clause.
Germany formerly had only one tar
if schedule for all nations. But in the
years preceding 1892 reciprocity trea-
ties We're made with Austria II ungary,
Russia, Italy, Belgium, Roumania,
and some other countries. These gave
q preferential tariff TO the countries
mentioned in return for concessions a.
lowed TO Germany. Germany made no
reciprocity treaty with the United
States. but under the most favored
nation" clause of the general treaty
between this country and Germany it
was held that the United States was en-
titled to the same preferential tariff
rates allowed by Germany to Russia.
Italy, and the other countries men
toned.
When. therefore. the United States
gave reciprocity reductions to France
the German authorities asked for SIM
liar reductions under the favored ma
ton clause, and as evidence of the
Justice of their request they pointed
to the fact that the United States was
getting the preferential duties from Ger
many through the operation of the ia
vored nation" clause. Moreover, it is
probable that if the United States had
not given Germany the same reduction
allowed to France the German prefer
entail tariff including the United States
with Russia. Italy, Austria, etc, would
have been withdrawn. 1t was there
fore settled that the German preferen-
