ERE CENTURY DAWN.

A Memorial Day School Recitation fol-
1900.
In this the waning light of rounded
years,
We swing the portals of the century
near,
In ecstacy of hope-through blur OF
tears
We wait the word prophetic, be OF
cheer.
The Holy of the Holes enter we,
The dream of ages, and of seers
foretold,
A day Of kinder motive, bondless, free,
The century-tide, where meet the
New and Old.
In clash of hungry steel and din of
hate,
We hear the echo of dying past;
We pray it jangle not the newborn
state,
Nor that its clang this pregnant
year outlast.
For dispensation new the world hath
need
or peace on earth and Gods good
will to men,
Where Love shall make new war-on
lust of greed.
And old war steel shall thirst for
blood in vain.
And what have We to gain of arms We
bear,
Ye nations army-mad, in fevered
strife;
What measure shall we mete for blood
We spare,
For waste of treasure and for sunk
en- life?
The fttest have we drained, to mar and
Stay,
Survive the weakllng, to beget your
young;
Decadence dogs your dead march all
the way.
From hall to hut the haunting wall
is wrung.
Ye pile the burdens higher, year by
year,
For every ship we build, are builded
two;
In wild alarm, we counsel take Of
Fear,
Nor see the end whereof-the i'll we
brew!
Ho! Armistice! we leaders, be We
wise;
Ere yet the century sands have all
been spilled,
A truce to let of blood! ye nations
rise,

There is profound satisfaction in
the completion of anything we have
undertaken. We lift the capstone with
exultation. while, on the other hand
there is nothing more disappointing
than after having toiled in a certain
direction to find that our time is vast
ed and our investment profitless.
Christ came to throw up highway on
which the whole world might, il it
chose, mount into heaven. He did 1t.
The foul mouthed crew who attempted
to tread on him could not extinguish
the sublime satisfaction which he ex-
pressed when he said, Il have finished
the work which thou gavest me to
do"
Alexander the Great was wounded,
and the doctors could not medicate his
wounds, and he seemed to be dying and
in his dream the sick man saw plant
with a peculiar flower, and he dream
ed that that plant was put upon his
wound and that Immediately it was
cured. And Alexander, waking from
his dream. told this to the physician,
and The physician wandered out until
he found just the kind of plant which
the sick man had described, brought
1t to him, and the wound was healed.
Well, the human race had been hurt
with the ghastliest of all wounds
that of sin. 1t was the business of
Christ to bring a balm for that wound
the balm OF divine restoration. In
carrying this business to a success
full issue the difficulties were stupen-
dous.

Christ a Sympathizer.
My subject also treasures us OF the
fact that in all our struggles we have
a sympathizer. You cannot tell Christ
anything new about hardship. do not
think that wide ages of eternity will
take the scars from his punctured side
and his lacerated temples and his sore
hands. You will never have bur-
den weighing so many pounds as that
burden Christ carried up the bloody
hill. You will never have any suffer

You will never be surrounded by
worse hostility than that which stood
around Christ's feet, foaming, revil-
ing, livid with rage. bowling down his
prayers, and snuffing up the smell OF

a heart that can sympathize with you!,

The Spiritual Upbuilding.

In many of our plans we have oul
friends to help us; some to draw {
sketch of the plan, others to help u:
in the execution. But Christ fought
every inch of his way against bitter
hostility and amid circumstances al
calculated to depress and defeat.
In his fathers shop no more inter
course was necessary than is ordinar'
lily necessary in bargaining with men
that have work to do; yet Christ, with
hands hard from use of tools of trade
was called forth to become a public
speaker, to preach in the face of mobs
while some wept and some shook their
fists and some CRASHED upon him with
their teeth and many wanted him out
of the way. To address orderly and
respectful assemblages is not so easy
as it may seem. but it requires more
energy and more force and more con-
centration to address an exasperated
mob. The villagers of Nazareth heard
the pounding of his hammer, but all
the wide reaches of eternity were to
hear the stroke of his spiritual up
building.
So also the habits of dress and diet
were against him. The mighty men of
Christ's time did not appear in appare.
without trinkets and adornments.
None of the Caesars would have ap-
peared in citizens apparel. Yet here
was a man, here was a professed king,
who always wore the same coat. In
deed, it was far from shabby, for after
he had worn it long while the gam
blers thought 1t worth raining about,
but still it was far from being an
imperial robe. 1t was coat that any
ordinary man might have worn on an
ordinary occasion.
Neither was there any pretension In
his diet. No cupbearer with golden
chalice brought him wine to drink
On the seashore he ate fish, first hav-
ing broiled 1t himself No one fetched
him water to drink; but, bending over
the well In Samaria, he begged a
drink. He sat at only one banquet,
and that not at all sumptuous, for to
relieve the awkwardness of the host
one of the guests had to prepare wine
for the company.

Man without a Diploma.

MAN without diploma.
All this was against Christ. So the
fact that he was not regularly gradu-
ated was against him. If man come
with the diplomas of colleges and
schools and theological seminaries,
and he has been through foreign trav-
ell the world is disposed to listen. But
here was man who had graduated
rat no college, had not in any acad-
envy by ordinary means learned the
alphabet of the language he spoke, and
yet he proposed to talk, to instruct in
subjects which had COMPOUNDED the
mightiest intellects. John says: "The
Jews marveled. saying, How hath this
man letters, having never learned?"
We. in our day, have found out that
man without diploma may know
as much as a man with one and that
a college can not transform a slug
gard into a philosopher or a theolog-
ical seminary teach a fool to preach.

hands of the presbytery Is empty still.
But it shocked all existing prejudices
a
no scholastic pretenslons and no grad
uation from learned Institution to set
himself up for a teacher. 1t was
against him.
So also the brevity of his life was
against him. He had not come to what
we call mid-life. But very few men do
anything before SO years of age, and
yet that was the point at which
Christ's life terminated. The first Is

In the absence of important news from
the seat of war, speculation is rife re-
garding the probability of an early peace.

The Government views are probably

1T is understood that the Government
does not consider that the time has yet
come for any authoritative statement as
TO the ultimate terms of peace, and no
member of the Cabinet has authorized
any published statement on the subject
1t is, of course, generally understood
among all political parties in this coun-

publics are concerned the status quo
ante-bellum cannot remain unaltered
after the close OF hostilties. Their part
in the system which involved a large
measure of political and military indepen-

Frankfort, KY March 10-The situa-
tion has reached a point of excitement
today almost approaching that of the
stirring times Immediately following the
assassination of Governor GoebeI. The
reinstatement of the military power in
complete control of the State executive
building and the refusal of the military
authorities to allow the local police and
civil officers to enter the building for
the purpose of arresting Secretary of
state Caleb Powers and Captain John
w. Davis, charged with being accessories
to the Goebel assassination and the prob
ability of a conflict between the civil
and military authorities has made the sit
uation look serious. This morning City
Marshal Richardson applied at the exc
cutive building and demanded to be adj

the warrants were then turned over to

himself at the executive building and de-
manded admttance. He was referred by
the office in charge of Colonel Morrow
and the latter being found said:
Il am sorry, Mr. Sheriff. but it Is
against Governor Taylor's orders to let
anyone into the building today
Sheriff Suter then held a consultation
with County Attorney Polsgrove Com
monwealth Attorney Franklin and other
officials. Meantime the police force had
been doubled, and detail guarded each
of the entrances TO the State House
grounds to prevent the men wanted from
escaping. At the conference between the
officials it was decided that the sheriff
should summon large reserye force Of
deputies, to be called into use in the
event it was decided to attempt to enter
the building by force to make the arrests;
and in pursuance of this. the sheriff

GEN. wHEELER's RESIGNATION.
He Wrote to the President Offering It
Last Fall.
(By The Associated Press. J

Washington, March lot appears that
General Wheeler did tender his resig-
nation last fall. 1t was dated Novem-
Der 25th at place called Paniqui, on the
Island of Luzon, and was not cabled, but
came by the slow process of the mails.
Moreover it did not come directly to the
War Department, but went to the White
House. where it had been reposing since
its arrival in Washington. The War De-
partment officials have just learned of
it.
The Generals resignation was not ac-
copied promptly by the President, out Of
the consideration for the officer. Instead
he was ordered to report to the War De-
partment at Washington. His resignation
will be accepted here, and the effect of
this action will be to allow the officer
his mileage and expenses to Washington.
The resignation reads as follows:
''Paniqu, Island of Luzon, the Philip
pines, November 2Sth, 1899.
"To the President, Executive Mansion,
Washington, ID. c.
Sir: The insurgent government is
virtually destroyed. Agunaldo is a fugi-
tive in the Northern Provinces; his Cab
met and Congress are scattered. The
President of the Filipino Congress is here
and from what he says / think it will be
impossible for their Congress to ever
reconyene. The various commands of
the insurgent generals are reduced to
mere skeletons and fly before us so fast
that it is almost impossible to get with
in gun range.
Il therefore respectfully tender my
resignation as an officer in the volun-
teer forces of the United States.
