sAPrusrs AND EXPANSION

At the Missionary Anniversary.

At the Missionary Anniversary.
DETROIT, May 28.-Expansion senti.
nlent was rife at the missionary mass
meeting held last night as one Of the
features of the American Baptist mis-
sionary anniversaries. DR.. Wayland
Hoyt Of Philadelphia began his address
on the subject of "Denominational Elk.
pansion In Relation to the Work of the
Baptist Publication Society" by quot
ing from speech delivered by Senator
Hoar at children's day celebration in
Massachusetts, five years ago, at which
time the anti-imperalist statesman is
reported to have said that the tree Of
liberty and self government set out by
the fathers OF the republic having spread
across the continent its roots would lin
good time thrust themselves beneath the
waves and spread to the isles Of the
sea-"
"This prediction" said DR.. Hoyt,
"came true more quickly than the dis.
tinguished senator anticipated and evi.
IDENTIFY more quickly than he desired. II
it is true that he mat this eloquent and
logical statement in 1875, q hundred anti
expansion speeches made in 1900 could
not efface the effect of that truthful pre-
diction."
DR.. Hoyt argued eloquently for expan.
sion in missionary effort, keeping pace
at least with the progress of the Ameri-
can flag. He deprecated the fact that
the literature of the day takes little OF
no notice for the most part of the life
that is in connection with that which is
to come. He quoted Napoleon's state.

plcable to the endeavors of the publica.

work.
Madison G. Peters, d. D., of New York
also argued strongly for political and re-
ligious expansion in his address concern.
ing expansion of the work of the Baptist
Home Mission society. He asserted that
the Baptists would stand by and follow
the American flag in confidence that it
would never retreat.
In the afternoon the new missionary
chapel car Herald Of Hope" was dedi-
Gated. The car is the sixth placed in
service by the Baptists of America with.
in the past six years, the expense Of
which has been sustained wholly by free

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-The house
leaders are figuring that the senate will
agree to the houses resolution to adjourn
Wednesday, June g, so that much bust
ness will be crowded into the coming
week. Individual members with belated
bills are pressing for recognition and will
be given some show. Conference reports
on appropriation bills will have the right
of way. There are half dozen measures
of public importance pressing, including
the oeomargaripe bill, the anticanteen
bill, the st. Louis fair bill, the Philadel.
phia museum bill and the antitrust meas
ures, but the indications are that none OF
them save the antitrust bill and resolu-
ton will be considered. Friday and Sat.
urday are to be devoted to their consd.
GRAFTON under special rules. The friends
of the Others, however, are active, ag-
gressive and insistent. and some of them
may be successful. But the programme
Of the leaders does not go much beyond
driving through the appropriation bills,
the passage OF the antitrust legislation
and the cleaning up of a few odds and
ends.
The time of the senate during the pres
ont week will be divided largely between
the discussion of the Philippine question
and the consideration of appropriation
bills, with Il diversion about the middle
Of the week in the Clark case.
The senate will make an effort to meet
the plans of the house in the matter of
final adjournment on June 6.

LOUISVILLE, May 2s-The tenth
annual reunion of the United Confeder
ate Veterans will begin in this city on
Wednesday. 1t is expected, considered
numerically, that the tenth annual re-
union will surpass any Of the reunions
previously held. and a conservative esti
mate is that 100000 visitors will be in
Louisville during the week. Every ar.
rangement has been made for entertain
ing such crowd. The city is hand
somely draped in bunting, the red and
white Of the Confederacy being most
prominent, while the portraits Of Con
federate generals are suspended from
many buildings. The court of honor on
Jefferson street, opposite the courthouse,
where the reviewing stand has been
erected, is an imposing structure. A
great white arch is surmountcd by eagles,
while in the center is Confederate
shield. By day it appears in dazzling
wilderness, and by night it will be ablaze
with hundreds Of electric lights.

BALTIMORE, May 2S-The strike

and last night the city was almost in to-.
tal darkness. Many of the 1,400 arc
lights used 10 light the city have not been
trimmed or supplied with new carbons
since the strike began a week ago, and
notwithstanding strenuous efforts made
by the company to secure new men to
fill the places of the striking trimmcrs and
dynamo tenders their efforts seem to
have been nullifed by the efforts of the
strikers to intimidate or otherwise per-
suade what few new men the company
secured to quit work and join the strik
ers. AT 8 o'clock the police reports from
various sections of the city indicated
that 1850 lamps were in darkness.

MONDAY. MAY as. 1000

WIN. S. HILLEs is credited with
saying in an address to the Repub-
lican Club in this city, that "it
would be time enough to take up the
Senatorial question when the Leg
islature meets. Any man with
ordinary sense will understand the
expediency OF obtaining the power
to despatch any work before you
undertake to doit. Should the Demo-
Gratis elect majority Of the next
Legislature, they will have menu
bers Of their own party to repre-
sent the State in the U. S. Senate,
without asking the Republicans
what they think about it. 1t is the
height OF folly for the Republicans
to differ about the question until
they have the power to elect men,
Der OF their party. To fight be-
torehand is like fighting over a
shadow. A sensible man will catch
bis game before he cooks it, or he
may 60 hungry. After the Repub-
licans have elected majority of
the Legislature. it will be time
to take up the Senatorial question,
and it no agreement can be reached
they may agree to disagree, and
the State can get alcng in some
way without electing anybody.
Better have vacancy in the Senate
than have the Democrats control
the Legislature and make laws to
dlsfranchise Republicans, as they
have In Kentucky and other South
ern States. The Legislation re-
sorted to in this State years ago to
prevent Republicans paving their
tax, should prove a warning to all
who desire that the majority should
rule and dispense the various Of
fees. We wantfair play all around
and the way to get it is to elect Re-
publicans to the Legislature in sui
6cent numbers to insure the enact
ment of good laws. BY uniting we
can do it, but by dividing the party
defeat is certain. In nominating
candidates, all Republicans should
be allowed to vote, with the UNDER
standing that the nominee should
be supported at the election, with
out a question being asked or a
pledge exacted.

THE ECLIPSE
OF THE SUI,

DR.. Keigwin. of West PresJyt r.
ian Church took for his text suns
day morning, the Goth verse of the
I'd chapter Of Acts: "The sun shall
be turned into darkness, and the
moon into blood, before that gre at
and notable day Of the Lord come. :"
The eclipse Of the sun to-day led
him to. adopt the above text. In
former times the eclipse Of the sun
or moon was looked upon as por.
tent Of evil, of war, famine, or some
CONFUSION Of nature. He quoted
various texts to show that the
prophets were influenced by the
superstitious feeling and sought to
draw differences therefrom of COM
ing events. In all ages, there had
been a class Of sun worshippers,
and that luminary had been re-
garded as possessing the power Of
the Deity. Hence erroneous teach.
ings and the existence OF what has
been called the dark ages, when
superstition and heresy pervaded
the minds Of majority Of the PEG.
pie. AS the world seems to have
gone backward occasionally in tho
past, we had reason to fear that
the future may witness similar
changes as ration alism may sub
vert in measure spiritualism and
faith in Jesus Christ. He might DO
called a pessimist, but he only
judged Of the future by the past and
no one could tell how far the errors
which are being taught, may influ.
ence the faith of the people, and
lead them to adopt false notions
and setup false gods. Rationalism
tended to a loss OF spirituality. and
although he did not believe in tho
destruction Of tine world by fire, it
was far better that all sublunary
things should be consumed than
faith in the divinity of Jesus Christ
should be destroyed. His conclu-
sion was quite eloquent and should
make lasting impression on the
minds OF all who listened to it. Tie
tempter, however lovely, may be
resisted through faith in Christ, as
He alone is mighty to save and
strong to deliver.
