the darkness, Steer straight for me father ard you'll get safe home!' 'Springing to his feet, he called out, You're right this time, my son!' "FrOm that moment he was changed man;
 HE GAVE HIS HEART TO THE LORD Christ, and served Him until he was taken to heaven to join his son.'
 May the Spirit of Truth il- lumine the minds of the dis ciples here to-day to understand Christ's death and victory that we may also point those wandering on life'S sea to home and God.
 {, They shall be given vision-''ye shall see me"-which probably refers to that opening of the eyes of the soul at PentecOst and after when they shall see their Lord by true and powerful faith. Again, shall the spirit do the cleansing work. "He shall glorify me; for he shall take of mine, and shall de- clare it unto you. All things whatso- everthe Father hath are mine: there fore said l, that he taketh of mine, and shall declare it unto you. A little while and ye behold me no more: and again little while, and ye shall see me-" Thus, as the minds of lonely, baffled men finger over the days of this Prince they had lost, and especially the tragic Friday followed by the myS- terious Presence, that spirit shall open their minds to see him and know him. And two there were talking of him while stranger walked with them. As he brake the bread in the old familiar way, the bolder eyes be- held "JeSus!" But it was the Jesus not yet comprehended. In that ap- pearance, they shall know Him and see Him as He is.
 A little girl sent from India to the English homeland had no memory of her father. But she often looked at his photograph. So that when a man she had never seen came in at the home door, the little girl burst out: "Here is my papa; I am so glad to see you, my papa" Thus with the Twelve they had seen his flesh; then they be- held His soul. We have His photo graph; would you see the Christ? That IS the gift of the spirit to those that look in love and faith.
 Of Ruskin it is said:
 "He thirsted-as thirsty land for rain For beauty and for good, as men for gain;
 Now may he drink Of the immortal tide.
 Ever athfrst and ever satisfied" Stalwart Stephen bears valiant wit ness to the freedom of Christ, while Saul consenting unto his death, they Slay him-but he "being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God" '"Fhey stoned Stephen, calling unto the Lord and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my Spirit.
 Beloved, what wilt thou? Lonely if thou wilt, 'I will not leave thee fatherless;" troubled, "my peace give unto thee;" unseeing, Christ says, Eye shall see me-
 During war between England and France, a prisoner brought into the presence of Lord Nelson, offered his hand. The great and true admiral drawing back with dignity said; "Your sword first, sir!''

LONG ISLAND
AS SEEN BY A VIEWPOINT BOY LET
 TER NO. 4.

TER NO. 4.
 Leaving Huntington, I went to Fair ground, Huntington railway station, situated two miles back of Hunting ton, in the hills. The means of trans portation from the depot to the will lage is by trolley line. Now here is a place where the trolley climbs hills, pushing heavy freight and passenger cars with ease.
 From here l went to Long Swamp, West Hills and Woodbury. These are farming villages where the farmers are not only workers, but enterprising. At West Hills there is one of the finest mineral springs in the world. The water is barrelled and bottled and shipped daily in large quantities to New York. Woodbury, the railway station for Cold Spring, nestles at the foot of range of hills that extend far into the interior. The town is laid out in terraces sloping down to the waters edge. Near the head of the harbor, but almost hidden in the abundant foliage, are visible the ruins of once extensive factories. Up the valley, separated from the salt water by dam, are series of fresh water lakes. Between the harbor and these lakes are several mineral springs; one especially being strongly impregnated with iron. To the left are three lakes and here the state has located one of it's principal fish hatcheries, the pro- duct of which reaches many millions a year and serves to bountifully re- plenish the waters of the sound and vicinity with constantly increasing store of the tinny tribes.

 town and church with which he and his ancestors have been identified so long will remember him with grati-

The OUTLOOK. THE MAN OF OUR STRENGTH. SERMON BY REV CHESTER TERRI OF WEST CORNWALL, CONN.

Daniel 10: ls-l9, "Then there touched me again one like the appearance of \ man and he strengthened me. And he said. Q man. greatly beloved, fear not, peace be unto thee unto mo, | was strengthened and said. Let my Lord speak; for thou hast strengthened
 The angel of the Lord whose pres ence first awed the seer into silence, touched the lips with courageous speech. The vision of divine greatness that prostrated him, endued him with more than human strength. power coming from above to the chosen of God, with the promise of the strengthening Spirit found in John. chapters fourteen to seventeen. May your sympathy lead you to understand the need of these II men under the solemn future look into their life work, and the way divine power lifted these men to accomplish their mission. In understanding their experience, a treasure may be grasped for ourselves.
 Four supreme crucial problems were theirs. D When the grim Hand is eyes a great soul who has been life of life to many, assuring them: "He shall be nearer to you than before. " (2) When timid men are bidden to leave the delicious repOSe of quiet friendship to win by the blunt weapons of love and faith the very enemies they most fear; but are assured, "Ye shall overcome them." (3) When tongues, thick and stammering, are told to per suade the world with a message they have not felt, nay, not been able to believe; then also, "He shall lead you into all the truth. (4) When a human heart, dull, seltishly ambitious, is told to tread the SinuOuS, untraveled path of sacrifice and faith in unquestiOning obedience, with the promise of illumi- nation by one whose light they were to see Snuffed out in shame between two thieves-but "Ye shall see me, and glorify me.'
 WE ALL HAVE OUR CRISES.
 Some have one, some another; all four were tearing the breasts of the II men to whom Jesus was saying: "I go away and Whither l go ye cannot come, but ye know the way" Like sheep not having shepherd were they to be desolate. Their best offerings of love were to be scOrned in the hatred of their own crosses. The message to be carried was not grasped, nor even be- lieved; much less could they launch out were these to behold in glory that Lord whom as companions they had thought to be only man, fleshly like themselves?
 But in these four chapters of John, which persuade that the beloved dis ciple did not finger on the breast of

JEFFRIES AND SH4RKEY
Matched Last Night to Fight in sa
 ErunCiscp.

New York Dec. 30.-Jim Jeffries and Tom Sharkey were matched to-day for a contest which will involve the heavy weight fistic championship of the world. Billy Delaney, who is Jeffries man ager, met Tom Sharkey and his man ager, Barney Reich, this afternoon. De- laney said he was anxious to induce Bob Fitzsimmons to meet the cham pon once more and gave due notice of his whereabouts, but neither F'itzsim- mons nor any representative put in an appearance and Delaney clinched the bargain with Sharkey. According to the articles of agreement, the contest will take place on any day between March + and April 30 before the club offering the best inducement, and right on the spot James c. Kennedy, repre- senting J. w. Coffroth. of the Yosemite Athletic club, of San Francisco, bid 621a per cent. of the gross receipts, and the men immediately agreed to fight in San Francisco under that clubs auspices
 There is just one possibility of these men not meeting, and that is, according to the articles of agreement, should Sharkey be defeated by Peter Maher in their bout in Philadelphia in the third week of next year the bout will be de- clared off.

What Fttzs'Inm mons says.

New York Dec. 90--"Bob" Fitzsim- mons was seen tonight at his home in Bath Beach and informed that Jeffries and Sharkey had been matched. He said: From reading the many ad- vance notices sent out by Jeffries and Delaney from the west during the last few weeks l was made to believe that Jeffries was hot after me and was com~ ing to town to make me extraordinary inducements to get me to fight him In the first place, Jeffries is not here and in the second place. l have not received any great offer he is said to have made I have retired from the ring, but l cer- tainly would have considered any offer Jeffries or his manager had to make had I received it.

Death Was Unexpected.

Chicago, Dec. 30.--Frank H. Peavy of Minneapolis, one of the best known grain and elevator men in this country, died at the Audit orium Annex to-day of pneumonia, aged nearly fifty-two years. MT. Peavy came to Chicago from his home in Minneapolis nearly two weeks ago on business trip. On December 20 he contracted a cold, which quickly developed into pneumonia. Yesterday it was believed that he had successfully passed the crisis of his ill., ness, but at midnight there was a sud- den change for the worse, and at 3:30 o'clock he breathed his last. Mrs. Peavy and other members of his fam fly were present.
 MT. Peavy was credited with being the largest owner of grain elevators in this country, if not ill the world. The sign "P. "" was familiar one on grain warehouses throughout the grain- producing states of the west and northwest along the lines of the rail- roads At his terminal points he had large holdings, his interests in Chicago being particularly heavy. His name for years has been prominent on the boards of trade here and in the north- west. The body will be taken to Min neapolis tonight
 Minneapolis newsboys were objects of the charity of Mr. Peavy. Several years ago he started fund for them, and for every dollar deposited by newsboy MT, Peavy added another dol lar.

NATURALISTS GA7HER ING.
Annual Meeting of tho American So-
 clety in Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 3O.--Naturalists and scientists from all parts of the country began to gather at the University of Chicago to-day for the twentieth an nual meeting of the American Society of Naturalists. Nine affiliated societies met with the American society. The physiologists were the first to arrive, and began their meetings with pro- gramme which promises to be of un- usual interest The other societies will begin their conferences tomorrow. The first paper before the physiologists was read by Dr. G. T. Kemp on 'The Rela- ton of Blood Plates to the Increase of Red Corpuscles at High Attitudes
 Dr. David J. Lingle read a paper on Further Experiments Regarding the Importance of Sodium for the Heart Beat" Since the discoveries made by Dr. Loeb and Dr. Lingle, year ago; of the effect of salt solutions on heart ac- tion, Dr. Lingle has been carrying on hs experiments, and by special invita- tion of the Physiological society made a report on the results. Thus far he has experimented only with larger sec tions of the turtle heart. than he used at first. He has not yet succeeded in reviving the beat of an entire heart, but is working to this end.
 pr. Jacques Loeb, in commenting on the report of Dr. W. l.. Porter regard ing the fibrallar contraction of the heart, announced that he and Dr. A. P. Mathews will prove tomorrow that the nature of this contraction, which usu- ally results in death was electrical and that the same contractions might be ob- served in life of as low grade as the jelly-fish.
