Paracea For All Trouble.

You say mOrphia puts one to sleep.
You say in time of sickness it is very
useful. 1 deny it. Morphia never puts
anybody to sleep. 1t never alleviates
pain. You ask why say that. 1 have
never tried it. l never took it, l deny
that morphia is any soothing to the
nerves or any quiet in times of sick
ness. l deny that morphia ever put
anybody to sleep. But here are 20 per-
sons who say they have all felt the
soothing effects of a physicians pre-
scribing morphine. Whose testimony
will you take? Those who took the
medicine or my testimony, l never hav-
ing taken the medicine. Here is the
gospel of Jesus Christ, an anodyne for
all trouble, the mightieSt medicine on
earth. Here is q man who says: Il
don't believe in it. There is no power
in it." Here are other people who say:
1--WE have found out it's power and
know it's soothing influence. 1t has
cured u.s." Whose testimony will you
take in regard to this healing medi-
cine?
Young man, do not be ashamed to be
a friend of the Bible. Do not put your
thumb in your vest, as young men
sometimes do, and swagger about, talk
ing of the glorious light of nature and
of there being no need of the Bible.
They have the light of nature in India
and China and in all the dark places of
the earth. Did you ever hear that the
light of nature gave them comfort for
their troubles? They have lancets to
cut and Juggernauts to crush, but no
comfort. All, my friends, you had bet
ter stop your skepticism! Suppose you
are put in a crisis like that of Colonel
Ethan Allen. I saw the account and
at one time mentioned it In an address.
A descendant of Ethan Allen, who is
an infidel, said it never occurred. Soon
after I received a letter from a pro-
fessor in one of our colleges, who is
also a descendant of Ethan Allen and
is a Christian. He wrote me that the
incident is accurate; that my state
ment was authentic and true. The
wife of Colonel Ethan Allen was very
consecrated woman. The mother in
structed the daughter in the truths of
Christianity. The daughter sickened
and. was about to die, and she said to
her father: Father, shall 1 take your
instruction, or shall I take mothers
instruction? I am going to die now.
[ must have this matter decided" That
man, who had been loud in his infideli-
ty, said to his dying daughter, MY
dear, you had better take your mothers
religion" My advice is the same to
you, o young man! You know how re-
ligion comforted her; you know what
she said to you when she was dying.
You had better take your mothers re-
ligion.

FREEPORT, Ill. Dec. 26.-Regarding the
statement of Ell TEMPO, a Mexican news
paper, that John Barrett, delegate of the

ference, had returned to Washington be-
cause the Latin countries did not show do
cility in accepting the leadership of the
United States, Mr.. Barrett, who has just
arrived here from Mexico, said. to-day:
Such a report is too ridiculous TO require
specific denial. 1t is an example of the
methods of the anti-American element of
the Latin press to discredit the conference,

American politics that sometimes originate,

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
FIRST FRUIT OF THE CONFERENCE
OF AMERICAN REPUBLICS.
All the Countries to Become Parties
to the Hague Convention-COmpul
sorry Scheme Also Probable.

MEXICO CITY. Dec 26.-To-day a SUBJ
stential agreement on the subject of ar
bit-ation was practically reached by the
several delegations to the Pan-American
conference. Contrary TO what had been
anticipated, it is almost sure that the
agreement is unanimous, including even
Argentina, which, it was thought, would
refuse to sign any but a compulsory
scheme or arbitration. The basis of agree
ment is simply the Hague convention. All
the nations represented at the conference
in Mexico will become parties to the
Hague convention. They might join it
Independently, but as the United States
and Mexico are already members of the
Hague convention it has been concluded
that they shall have the honor of intro
ducing the other nations. In addition, the
nations to the conference other than the
United States, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador
Nicaragua and perhaps one or two others
will sign among themselves a scheme of
compulsory arbitration, but still accepting
the Hague tribunal and the Hague pro-
ceedure. The compulsory plan, however
will have effect only among the signatory
nations and will not have the official
sanction of the Pan-American confer
ence.
a sentiment is growing in favor of fixing
Jan. the definite date for the closing
of the conference.
The Hon. Volney Foster, of Chicago, one
of the United States delegates. takes a
hopeful view of the result of the conven-
tons work, declaring he believes that
the congress will be a success and that
it will achieve what it set out to do under
