FlF III ST. CHURCH IN HER
GLORY.

Last Sunday was q day long to be RS.
membered at the Fifth Street Baptist
Church
The services began at 10 80 a. m.
Long before that hour, througs of peo-
pie crowded from every direction
here were 2C6 candid ates for baptism,
OF which number 164 presented them
selves last Sunday morning. These
were baptized. including 2 more from
st: Phillips Baptist Church. in 55
inmates.
DR.. R. q. Bowling of N orfolk, preach.
ed the bsptismal sermon, taking his
text from the last part of the 2sth
chapter OF Matthew. Facing an audi
ence OF 1000 people the Doctor pro-
ceeded in q most learned. gifted, but
heart-touching way to preach one of
the ablest sermons ever preached by
mortal man, upon the question Of bsp-
tism. From the beginning to the end
the vast audience was held spell.
bound.
Before the sermon, it was a beauti-
full sight to see DR.. Graham, followed
by his deacons, march from the base
ment up to the audience room, follow
ed by 166 cand id ates, all dressed in
white for the ss,red rite.
In the afternoon was communion
hour, st which time, Rev. W. H
Stokes, B. D., delivered an able, pras
tieal and soul-stirring charge to the
new members. His remarks met the
approval OF the entire church. Then
followed another beautiful sig ht, when
164 candidates stood face Co face on
either side of the Ct ntrsl aisle, right
and left, facing the pulpit aud half
way down on one side of the outer
aisle of the church.
At least 1900 people took g ,mmun-
ion upon this occasion. At night
there Was another great concourse Of
people, enxiously waiting to hear
Rev. ID. w. Davis A. M , and they did
hear from him. The Reverend pro.
ceeded to preach from the 1O9th
Palm. 22nd verse upon the subject,
The battles of life "
1t was declared by all who heard
Rev. DAVIS that the sermon was one OF
she best ever ever preached in . Rich
mond pulpit.
he was logical, forcefal, eloquent,
clear and precise in the proclamation
OF his message, tou shing and feeling
in his applications. The great congre-
CATION showed their approval by their
wsrm responses and Amens.
Richmond now feels preuder Of Rev.
Davis as q prescaer than ever before,
not because of any small estimation of
him in the past as an able preacher
but because OF the wonderful develop.
ment he seems to be making in every
sermon he breaches.
Fifth st. Baptist Church is satisfied
with her days work. The browning
act OF beauty was made when Mrs.
Virgil Hawkins made her report be-
fore the great congregation OF her at
tendance as q delegate 80 the Woman's

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. March T.-Cnited States Con-
sui General Guenther at Frankfort reports
that a new technical journal, KirchhOffS
Technische Blatter. to be issued within a
few days. will contain an interesting article
concerning the latest rays. He adds:
in 1895 u French chemist discovered rays
emanating from the element uranium which
possessed properties similar to the Roentgen
rays. They were called Becqueral rays,
after their dlscoverer. But while the dis
covery of Roentsen aroused great interest
In the whole civilized world. leading to rad
ical changes in medical diagnosis. the
Becqueral rays were only employed In a
very limited way in physical laboratories.
and an assertion by the French scientist
DeMarcays that they were not emitted from
uranium, but from a new element, made no
impression.
Recent experiments by the Berlin High
School of Technology have proven this as
s~ertion-that a new element is responsible
for the Becqueral r%ays-and the interesting
fact has been observed that these rays
render almost every transparent substance
luminous in the darkness.
These rays make 1t possible to tell gen.
uine diamonds from artificial ones in the
dark. This will prove of great practical i'm
portance III testing.
THE experiments have also resulted in
obtaining. for the first time. larger quanti-
ties of the new element which has demon
strated that rays emanating from a larger
quantity make the air such a conductor of
electricity that it is hoped this property can
be utilized in wireless telegraphy. Experi-
ments for this purpose are being made in
the Berlin institution, but the deepest Sc
crecy Is maintained concerning them. 1t Is
stated that the results will soon be laid be-
