Introductory Sermon.

Epv. j. 5. Wrightnour. D. D., the new
pastor of the First Baptist church,
South Main avenue, preached his intro
duCtory sermon yesterday morning to a
,arge congregation, taking his text
from I Corinthians. xiii-7: Love
hopeth all things The discourse was
attentively listened to, and DR.. Wright
nour made a very Favorable impression
on his hearers. He spoke, in part, as
follows:
The most hopeful thing in all the world
is care. a mothers love never despairs
of the child God has given her though
others may, and do. They are hopeless
of any reform in him, and when he Is
down there are plenty to give him kick.
But that is because they do not love him,
as she does, for love hopeth all things.
There has been case after case whero
love, persistent, unfaterinS. has fc'
deemed men from some evil habit.
Is then the love foolish which hopeth
all things? The apostle evidently did not
think so, or he would not have written
this wonderful paen of praise of spiritual
love which should abide when all other
gifts of the early church should pass
away. What we need then In undertaking
any work for Christ is to have baptism
of love, to he overwhelmed in the Won
dcrful. patient. hopeful love OF God

N. M. EIcKE SUCCESSFUL.
Induced DR.. Howard Company to
Make Special Price.

After :: great deal of effort and cor
respondencc. n. NJ. Eicke, the popular
druggist, has succeeded in getting the
DR. Howard company to make Il spe-
cial half-prCe Introductory offer on the
regular fifty cent size of tlleir cnle-
brated specific for the cure of constI-
patton and dyspepsia.
This medicine is a recent discovery
for the cure of all diseases of the stom-
ach and bowels. 1t not only gives quick
relief, but it makes permanent cures.
Dr. Howard's specific has been so re-
nlarl1ahly successful in curing conSti-
pa ton dyspepsia and all liver troubles,
that n. NJ. IIicke is willing to return
the price paid in every case Wncre it
does not give relief.
The ld-fashioned idea of dosing with
mineral waters, cathartic pills or harsh
purgatives will soon be !; thing of the
past. The best physicians are prescrib-
ing DR.. Howard's specific because it
really gives the desired results and on
account of the small ana pleasant dose
that is needed.
Headaches. coated tongue. dizziness,
gas on stomach. specks before the eyes,
constipation, and all forms of liver and
stomach trouble are soon cured by this
scientific medicine.
So great is the demand for this Spe-
tic, that y. II. FIicke has been able 10
secure only limited supply, and every
one who is troubled with dyspepsia,
constipation or liver trouble SHOULD cell
upon him at once, or send - cents, and
get sixty doses of the best medicine
ever made, on this special ha'f-prire
offer with his nerSOnul guarantee to
refund the money il it does not cure.

Concerning this first question, let us

civilization. Swords are being beaten in

In America we decided about forty
years ago that the laboring man should
be free man rather than slave. Now
we are working out the second half Of
this great question, which is industrial

The sixth anniversary of Rev. DR.
Thomas de GruchN's pastoratc at the
jackson street Baptist church was OBJ
served yesterday. II was u great rally
day, and the pastor and people rejoiccd
over the years of labor accomplished.
The choir, under the leadership OF Prof.
Lewis Davis, rendered special music
for the occasion. Large congregations
were present at both the services.
The church has now a membership Of
four hundred, and a Sunday school en-
rollrNent OF five hundred. During the
past six years the Jackson street BAp
tist church has made wonderful prog
ress in all departments of Christian
work.
The building is q. credit to the de
nomination, having been renovated in
side and out, and presents n beautiful
appearance. The church Is composed
largely OF young people and is an ag-
gresive body.
In the morning the pastor gave a
resume of his six years labors. Among
other things he said:
/ came among you with fear and trcm-
bling, conscious of the great opportunity
the field afforded, and also conscious of
the many difficulties the field presented.
The great debt on the church was n
most discouraging burden, but [ was
encouraged by the enthusiasm you man
ifcsted to face with you every known OBJ
LEGATION, and through faith and prayer
we nave turned difficulties into grand
opportunities, SO that to-day the Jack
son street Baptist church need fear no
evil
Few churches have accomplished more,
considering the difficulties We have been
called to overcome. To-day we may well
rejoice together and share the blessing
and success that have crowned these six
years of labor.
Our prospects for the future are bright.

church upon whose affairs the fire OF

when the flame of faith expires.

pastor Of the North Main avenue BaD-

A British Transport is Now Overdue
and It is Thought That She

New Orleans, Jan. 15.-It is be-
lieved in shipping circles here that
the British transport laden with Amer
lean mules, bound for South Africa,
has been either interceptede and
blown up by a Boer spy in the Gulf
.of Mexico or has foundered. A
schooner arriving on the lower coast
reports hundreds of dead mules float
ing for a distance of thirty miles.
The more conservative elements au-
tribute the floating carcasses to a dis
aster to one of the British vessels. dur
ing the storms of the past week. Dis
patches rom Quintan, Texas, which
is only a short distance south of Fort
Eads, says the schooner Olga put in
at Matagorda bay for shelter from a
fierce gale that is blowing on the gulf
and that Captain Peters reports hav-
ing seen long rows of cattle and mules
floating in the water. He describes
the range of dead stock as covering
at least thirty miles.
Matthew Warning, of the Elder
Dempster Steamer Company, which
furnishes many of the British trans
ports, states that all their transports
are accounted for except the one sail
ing from here three days ago. The re-
! cent attempt to blow up the British
transport Mechanicans at this port is

to the opinion that the British trans
