The Subject of Rev. f. f. Cooks Ser
mon at Wesley Monumental.
The service yesterday morning at Yves
ley Monumental Church was largely at
tended Communion followed the sermon,
which was delivered by the pastor, Rev
Ed F. Cook VINO took his text from Hag-
gal, pa Work. for 1 am with you satin
the Lord of Hosts" The subject of the
sermon was Find Your Niche and Fill
It," or Work for the New Year"
Mr. Cook said that on one occasion Mr..
Spurgeon said to a Gloss of young men,
Find your niche and fill 1t. If it be ever
so little, If 1t is only to be a newer of
wood or drawer OF water, do sonnet hing
in this great battle for God and truth"
This advice" said the pastor, 'is es-
pecaly applicable to this service, as we
stand upon the threshold of the new year
and survey the magnitude of the work
whereunto God hath called us. God hath
need of every one of us-a place and a
can fill your place; no one else
can do your work. Find your
place and fill it. for God hath rested the
great work OF evangelizing the world upon
human faith and effort.
Mr.. Cook then urged the congrega ton
to consider the great work to be done and
which God has commanded his church to
do, not only to evangelize and civilize the
world, but at home the work is great and
opportunity wonderful. He said: 1--WE are
to save the lost, raise the fallen, shine
the light of truth into the darkness of
human woe and sin, teach the young
train conscience and wage the battles OF
the Lord. God commands Work for l
am with thee Go work to-day in my
vineyard" go preach" Go teach" do
the work OF an evangelist" We must
obey; find a work that we can do and do
it, or even Gods plans must fail.
Thy God has need of you, yet many say
I have no gifts But you have a gift The
man with one talent was held to the same
account with the man who had FIVE Each
was required TO use to his utmost ability
that which he possessed. Paul saws to
Timothy, Neglect not the gift that is in
thee" God does not require that we
should be richly endowed. but
he does demand a faithful use
Of that which we possess. God
asks of us a willing mind This He
accepts and supplements with His own
a willing mind, 1t is accepted according to
that a man hath, and not according to
that he hath not"
Something is possible to the humblest
child of God IL he only be willing to work
The Offering of a willing mind and the
conservation OF a single talent enables
him to become a worker together with
God, and when God and man unite for
the accomplishment Of an end sonnet hing
is sure to happen"
MIR. Cook concluded the sermon with a
strong appeal to the Christian to find his
work for the new year. and to enter upon
II with faith and courage.

The annual meeting of the Employees
Mutual Relief Association of the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western, and the
Charleston and Savannah Railroads will
be held tonight at the Catholic Library
Hall. The meetings are always largely at
tended, as the members of the association
feel great interest in it and look carefully
after its affairs. They are careful to get
the men whom they think will make the
best officers into the positions, and that,
they know, is only to be done by being
present and voting.
Rather strong contests have come up
for some of the places at annual meet
ings, but it is believed there will be no
fight this year. The association is very
well pleased, as far as can be learned, with
its officers. Mr.. w. w. Dowell paymaster,
is president, and Mr.. John Mclaughlin,
Jr., vice president. Mr.. A E. Meyer is
secretary.
The association is regarded as one of
the safeguards of the employees who be-
long to it. Several advantages are offered
by membership. and nearly all the en-
ployes belong. There is an insurance fea-
ture that is very attractive, as is also the
sick benefits that are paid when a mem
Der loses time from his work.

STONE STOPPED AT PULASKI.
stated Here That He Had Daughter
in New York.

But little can be learned in Savannah Of
the old gentleman, Samuel Stone, who
mysteriously disappeared from the Savan-
nah liner City OF Macon during the yes
sells last trip to New York. He was inclin-
ed to be reticent in regard TO himself and
not to discuss either his own business or
that of others with much volubnlty.
Mr.. Stone stopped at the Pulaski House
while he was In Savannah, reaching here
Sunday morning and leaving, to go aboard
the Macon, on Tuesday afternoon He was
at the Pulaski also three days about the
middle of the month. from Dec. 16 to Dec.
is. inclusive. On both occasions he regis
tered from Boston and also stated in cas-
ual conversation that he was from that
city His appearance indicated that he
was a man of al least comfortable for
tune and he seemed to have no business
that demanded his attention.
Although not communicative, Mr.. Stone
was pleasant and genial in his manners
and the hotel employees, on the occasion of
his second visit, were all glad to welcome
him again to Savannah. He was regu-
lar and methodical in his habits, having a
fancy for early rising that brought him
down stairs when life in the hotel had
barely begun to stir about, and retiring
at relatively early hour in the evening.
When he was last here Mr.. Stone stated
to the night clerk OF the hotel that he
had married daughter in New York and
a grandson named after himself. This
boy he said he had never seen and one
reason of his visit to New York was TO
spend some time with his daughter and
grandson there. Unfortunately. he did
not give the name of the daughters hus-
band so that her identification is very
for TO-
of accounts of the accidental or uninten-
tional death OF the father will probably
bring his daughter to the office of the
steamship company.
Mr. Stone seemed to prefer to make the
trip North on the Macon, and suffered
other vessels of the line to sail while he
was in Savannah, and after he had en-
gagged his passage. A strange feature of
the case is the tale told by one of the
bellboys at the Pulaski House, who says
that Mr.. Stone told him that the num-
Der of his stateroom was 49, According
to the bellboy. the old gentleman said
this jokingiy. If it is true, it is but an
illustration of the class of incidents that
furnish for the believers in signs and po-
tents with reasons for their faith.
While he was in Savannah Mr.. Stone
seemed to be in perfect good spirits and
not in the least Respondent or depressed.
He had not the manner of one who con-
templates self-destruction, nor did he IN
his occasional conversations with the no.
tel employees ever give any indication of
intention to take his own life. lie had no
Incorporate habits and lived a perfectly
quiet and peaceable life, apparently con-
tented with himself, his surroundings and
conditions, and with everybody else. At
the same time it is difficult to see how
he could nave been lost from the vessel
accidentally, unless. as has not been stat
ed, the weather was exceptionally wild
and rough.
