tify to the terrific Boer fire. Several esti-
mate that the total losses of Gen. Butler s
turning movement will amount approx
mately to 1,5OO. When reinforcements ar
rived the troops were much cramped on the
top of Spion kop. Preparations were made
below to secure the position, guns were
on the way and engineers had been ordered
to strengthen the intrenchments. Colonel
Thornycroft was not aware of this when
he ordered the retirement and he actually
met the artillery coming up. Gen. Wood
gate was wounded about o'clock in the
afternoon. Even then he protested that he
was all right and had TO be held down on
the stretcher.

at first insisted on the release of some
Boer prisoners before he would permit the
English to collect their wounded.

close Wednesday night. On Wednesday
morning he will preach a sermon to the
mothers and daughters and wives of the
city.
And tell the menfolks to come right
along" said he. Il never say anything to
a woman l wouldn't say before her hus-
band"
The evangelist then read an account of
the three miracles by Christ in which the
dead were raised-Jairus' daughter, the
widows son. and Lazrus. He said they
were all alike dead but not dead alike.
He made three statements as to each
miracle.
The case of Jairuss daughter may rep
resent large class of young people; that
the girl lay upon the bed with the APP
pearance of life. but that she was really
dead 1t is hard to make up ones nina
that chubby little children are sinners,
but when an actual sin has been com
mitted after they pass the line OF ac-
countabiIity they are sinners, and we had
as well make UP our mind to this fact.
The widows son is typical of that class
of Young people who act like sinners and
dress like sinners. and over whom the
tears of the parents are shed and prayers
are made.
Lazarus represents the hardened sinner.
He is like a large part of Raleigh's pop
ulation who have gone to such an extent
in their sins that the peoples esteem has
been withdrawn. and for them no pray
ers are said. The moral putrefaction of
their lives is a stencil in the nostrils of
the people.
Mr. Stuart then spoke of the method
employed in each case. He thanks God
for the fiexibilty of the Bible, that it is
a book for a time of sorrow as well as
season of rejoicing.
To Jairus's daughter Christ simply said:
Maid arise" How easy it is to bring
the children, to Christ. "How easy it is
to have Christ raise to life our little
children. l thank God for childhood re-
ligion" Mr.. Stuart said he took his own
little 5-year-old boy into the church
along with Bob Taylor. II don't know
how Bob is coming on, but the boy is still
abiding in the faith. l believe more in
childhood religion than l do in adult re-
lgion.
In the case of the widows son, Christ
had to use more formality. He stopped
the bier and said: Young man. l say
He'll are the card table, the theatre. the
saloon and the dance" He said that the
society people who would allure young
man from under his mothers influence
would dance on the coffin of a damned
soul, and play cards on the bier.
1t takes extreme measures to raise
Lazarus. Roll Ye away the stone. Clear
out any impeachment that you know may
block the hardened sinners path to re-
pentance. "And then it takes an awful
shout of God to rouse him. Christ shout
ed with q lour voice."
Mr.. Stuart asked those who were in
terested in their own soul or that OF
another to remain to the after service,
and only small portion of the congrega-
ton left, the majority of those leaving
being those for whom there were no
seats great deal of interest was
manifested in the after meeting in which
number of conversions were made.
During the sermon Mr.. Stuart paid a
tribute to the wideawake press OF
Raleigh.
