PETER AS AN EXAMPLE OF
"A POPULAR YOUNG MAN."

Sunday evening at the Emmanuel Baptist
Church, the pastor. the Reverend Charles
II. Murray, began q series Of short SER
mons on popular topics. The subject chosen
for the evening was "A Popular Young
Man." and the text chosen was recorded
among the last words OF KIM David TO
Solomon. BE strong, therefore,. and show
myself a man." The model selected was
not Solomon but Peter. who grew strong
and proved himself a man of the noblest
type. The pastor in discussing the subject
spoke in part as follows:
"As I study Bible characters I find my
self admiring Peter more than any other

constantly increasing ties. l love Peter be-

But Peter always recognized his errors ana
made haste to make amends. and was soon

his destiny than before. l do not wonder
that Jesus loved him and chose him for
one of his closest companions.
His early environment was the best pos

might understand the Scriptures: and he
said unto them, Thus it is written, that the
Christ should suffer and rise again from the
dead the third day: and that repentance
and remission of sins should be preached in
his name unto all the nations. beginning
from Jerusalem He said, in part:
These words. spoken by our Lord Just
before his ascension, show that the privilege
of repentance is granted through the grace
of the atonement. Repentance and for
giveness of gins must be preached in his
name among all nations. since he had suf-
fered death on the cross and had risen from
the dead. The holy spirits office just here
is to bring the sense of Gin home to the con-
science. He will convict the world in re-

minister true to the Scriptures must teach
till he come again.
..Hence vain is the effort to set aside the
necessity of atonement with the sufticlency
of repentance, while the repentance itself
is only through the acting work Of Jesus
Christ. Forgiveness is the vital fact of
justification; and while faith is its condi-
ton, there is always p~resupposed a real re-

The logic of this question puts aside the

The Supreme Allegiance His text was:

he said:

EXPORTS LOSING GROUND.
Total of Manufactures Probably
Will Show Decrease for Year.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, March 31--The record OF ex-
portation of manufactures from the United
States in the fiscal year which ends ninety
DAYS hence is not likely to equal that of the
preceding fiscal year, for three quite APP
parent reasons:
/. The exporters engaged in
with the Hawaiian Islands are now refusing
to furnish to the Bureau Of Statistics the
statements of their exports as In former
years, holding that their exports are no
longer foreign commerce"
9, The exports to Porto Rico are now sep
arately classified and no longer included in
the general statement Of foreign commerce.
8. The exports to China have temporarily
fallen off one-half by reason Of the unset
tied conditions in that country
The total exports for the eight months
ending with February. 1901, show an in
crease of more than $95. o0, 900 over last year.
but these of manufactures alone show only
a slight increase.
Another reason for the belief that the to-
tai will be lower is the fact that prices OF
manufactured articles in many cases have
fallen because of the reduction In the cost
of the raw material.

soon became interested. One old lady
was particularly struck, not only with
the operations of the elephant, but
with the audacity of the gentleman
who was feeding it. The poor old
soul thought she would like to feed
the elephant. She went to stall to
buy some buns. Alas, her purse had
vanished, and she came back TO com
plain to the police. As luck would
have it, an inspector who was OH
duty, had observed the sharper, not
only playing with the elephant, but
playing with the old lady's pocket.
When the lover of elephants walked
quietly away the inspector followed.
and, moreover, requested him to make
a call at the police station, where the
old lady's purse, containing 40 francs
was discovered.
