Mrs. l.. III. Bunyan, OF Richmond, at
MapIeton Methodist Church.

Mrs. L. II. Bunyan, of Richmond, corre-
spending secretary Of the Women's Home
Missionary Society OF the Northern Indiana
Conference. yesterday morning occupied
the pulpit in the Mapleton Church and last
night addressed the congregation OF the
Blackford-street Church. Her address re-
ferred principally TO the relation of the
deaconesses to hospital work. These two
she said were closely connected. She said
there should be a Methodist state hospital,
and on account of indianapolis being To-
Gated so near 10 the center OF population
of Indiana il should be given 10 this city.
The hospital work is such, she said. that
the hospitals should be located In the
larger cities and those accessible 10 the

length on the work OF the deacOnesSeS.

This law of progress through self-sacri-

teachings, life, ministry and death or
Jesus. All these poured it forth in a cease

OF Christs whole career. 1t is the key
note of His religion.
"Christ's ministry was fourfold: Saving
the SHINING, comforting the SorroW1ng,
teaching the ignorant and healing the sick.
This work He has committed also to His
church. Wherever, through the centuries,

THE danger Of the church to-day is of
losing touch with reality-of losing its hold
on suffering and SHINING men-of losing its
hold by losing its sympathy for them.
Christ had compassion on the multitude
He cared for their bodies and souls. If
the Christianity of the future is to be
anything more than the creed and cult Of
the complacent well-to-do, there must be a
vast infusion of the sympathetic, self-sac-
rificing spirit of Him of the manager, the
garden and the cross. The effort to build
this hospital in indianapolis is a concrete
expression of Christian sympathy and hu-
man brotherhood. 1t is a fulfilling of the
ministry of Jesus. With art to heal the
body and Christ to heal the soul the hos
pital may become and will become a foun-
tain of blessing beyond even our fondest
hopes. The discouraged hearts will gain
new hope and broken bodies new strength
for life's battles.
1.-The healing of the seamless dress
Is by our beds of pain.
We touch Him in life's throng and press,
And we are whole again."

MADE AN EARNEST PLEA.
Rev. Henry w. Bennett, of Anderson,
at Roberts Park Church.

The Rev. Henry w. Bennett, pastor of
First NJ. Z. Church, Of Anderson, spoke
yesterday morning at Roberts Park Church.
DR.. Benefits text was st. Luke X, % to q:
And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up
and tempted Him, saying, Master, what
shall l do TO inherit eternal life?' and he
said unto him, What is written in the law?
How readest thou?' and he answered, said,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with
thy whole heart, and with all thy soul and
with thy whole strength, and with thy
whole mind; and thy %neighbor as myself"
DIR. Bennett said in part: This incident
is set forth to emphasize and illustrate the
law of love. All parties agree that this
law was revealed long before Christ; but its
neglect called forth this exhibit of its scope
and purpose. The lawyer knew the beauty
and supremacy of this law, but willing to
dodge personal obligations, he inquired who
is my neighbor? The incident is an answer
to that question.
'Th priest and Levite saw the helpless
man and passed him by, but the Samaritan
saw also, his heart was melted, and he
cared for him. All these loved the doc
trines, but two of them did not love the
duties thereof. DR.. Dwight once heard a
young preacher remark that his people
loved the doctrines of the gospel. He
quickly asked, DO they love. its duties

does the notice excite your profound
qualification? Are you all here, and fully
pleased with it? If il is a hallelujah SER
mon. do you delight in it-especially ad-
mire II?
The church has both parties, those who
love the doctrines and the duties. and
those who love the doctrines but do not
love its duties. The world had seen very
little exemplification OF the duties Of love
until Christ came. He taught them by
precept and practice. He showed that the
helpless mantle one who needs healing
or saving-is our neighbor; that we should
care for man because he is a man, and
that no one Is so poor. or degraded. as "a

LITTLE DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.

In an address before the Middlesex Club,
of Boston. on Lincoln day, Secretary Long,
who. it is fair to assume, is familiar with
ton regarding the future of the Philip
pines. made the following significant dec
laration:
The question of the independence of these
islands, which will one day be a substan-
tial and vital question, is to-day an aca-
demic question. Men may make speeches
for party effect. but there is no party,
there is no community I'm the United States,
that for one moment intends TO abandon,
or would take the responsibility of aban-
doning. the trust we are now under to give
those islands the paciication, the govern
ment and civilization which we ourselves
enjoy.
There can be no doubt that the forego-
ing statement is the opinion of the Repub-
licans who have given most attention to
the question of the future of the Philip
pines. One thing is ce%rtain-it is no part
of the Republican policy to annex the
islands so that they may look forward to
the relation which may enable them to
become States. The only difference be-
tween the Republicans in Congress and
their opponents is that the former, with
all the information they have, are con-
WINGED that the Filipinos are not fitted for
independence. and that the present duty
is TO educate them and insure them a bet
ter government and better conditions than
hey have ever known. BY degrees, as
the natives are fitted, they are called to
participate in local governments. 1t is
believed that in a few years the natives
will reach a condition when their future
government may be determined. II they
shall be qualified for independence under
the protection Of the United States it will
be conferred upon them. Whatever seems
best for the natives will be done.
Those who nave watched the tiresome
speeches in the Senate the past ten days
will fail TO find any declaration In favor
of the immediate abandonment of the Phil
ippines. The opposition policy is to offer
the Filipinos independence with the sup
port OF the United States whenever, in the
judgment of Congress. they are itted for
il. No time is fixed, but the time will be
the cause OF constant irritation. Many
native leaders are certain that If independ-

The Journal published yesterday some
verses entitled Battle Flags" credited to
Francis Gallagher in the Hartford Comm
Courant. AS a matter of fact the lines
were written by a man named Moses Owen,
of Bath, Me-, who has been dead twenty
five years. They were written in 1861, and
were inspired by the battlefiags hung in
the rotunda of the Maine Statehouse. In
Maine the verses were repeated by Me-
mortal day speakers and detained by
schoolboys thirty years ago. Mr.. Owen
wrote several stirring pieces of war poetry,
having himself been a private in a Maine
battery. How G~allagher's name became
attached to thisp poem is left to the Courant

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. 16.-An effort

out the reed bird colony that has taken up
its habitatiOn on the trees and roof of San

church authorities and the neighboring bus

Tobin turned out a hose wagon about S
o'clock, after the birds had got well settled
for the night. The result was not a COM
plete success. Hundreds OF birds were
stunned and half drowned by the water.

plaza. There they dried their feathers
and twittered their Indignation. Ii remains

The French government has not taken
much part in the all-around controversy
as to who was the true and original friend
of the United States, but it seems French
men are not Indifferent to the situation.
Figaro, the popular paper of Paris, had an
editorial on Saturday expressing the hope
that prominent Frenchmen now in or soon
to visit the United States would exert
themselves to set the French people right
with Americans. mo one can be ignorant
of the fact says Figaro, that certain
of our neighbors, with malicious Machiavel-
ism, are striving to separate from us our
friends in the United States and ALLEVIATE
from us that precious American sympathy
to which we are accustomed" Then it
urges the visiting Frenchmen TO assure the
American people that France is not wholly
given up to the follies and fripperies of
Paris. as her enemies represent. but that
''she remains the same noble-minded ma
ton, and that those who admired it in the
days of Washington may still love, cherish
and admire it to-day" The French claim
will be filed with the rest.
