DEPLoRABLE SIGHT TO BEHOLD.
Excerpt from a Sermon Delivered by
Rev. James Hughes, D. D.

In his sermon in the Adams avenue
chapel on New York street, yesterday
morning, Rev. James Hughes, d. d.,
said, among other things:
| have seen the savage tribes of Africa
in deadly battle and shall never forget it,.
The liendish looks. the diabolical yells,
and the hellish clash of arms with its
consequent carnage We're sufficient to
cause ones blood TO curdle and angels
to weep
This is bad enough, but this sinks into
inSignificance when we remember that
even now in the twentieth century of the
Christian era the Christian nations of the
earth are armed to the teeth and one
vieing with another as to VINO can pro-
duce the most destructive and devastating
instrument of death.
Some of the mightiest intelecis Of the
present age are entirely devoted to. and
highly paid. for planning campaigns,
training thousands of men to kill or can
ture other men, and spending many sleep
less nights In order to become familiar
with the strategic geographical parts of
the earth
Billions of dollars are spent annually by
Christian nations to support and equip
their prodigious military and naval forces,
while there are thousands of Gods hid
den ones subssting on the barost neces-
sitics of life. and millions more cropping
their way in the midst of pagan darkness
through this world into Il dread eternity
because the means to send the blessed
light of the Gospel among them cannot
be procured.
We are afraid of each other because
we mistrust each other, BY way of jus
tfcation for these elaborate and costly
equipments people say, "'fhe best way to
ensure peace Is 10 be well prepared for
war" A most dangerous bit OF sophis-
try This is one of Satan's most effective
soporiferous sentiments, for it lulls tn
sleep the consciences of thousands OF
good unsuspecting people, What spec
tacle, mighty nations claiming to be
based on Christian principles armed To
the teeth and ready for war. There is n
lot of converting work required among
the nations yet. Christian workers are
not likely to he soon out of employment.

Extensive changes have been made
in the German Presbyterian church on
Hickory street the past few months,
and when the rededication takes place
next month the transformation will be
such that many members of the congre-
CATION will be unable to recognize the
renovated structure.
One of the principal changes has been
thought desirable for years. The orig
inal plans placed the gallery along
the sides, and in such way, that it
overshadowed the windows, so that the
interior was always in semi-darkness
except on the brightest days. The re-
cent changes have done away with the
side galleries, and instead, have placed
1t over the entrance and the side WIN
dows are ample to light up the church.
In addition, new pews and carpets have
been placed and the interior has been
artistically painted, and several new
memorial windows have been added.
The alterations have cast nearly &c.
OOO The renovation is practically COM
plete, and the change will be dedicated
on Sunday, Dec. Z, which will be the
seventh anniversary of Rev. William A.
Nordts pastorate and the fifteenth am
niversary of the church's first dedica-
tiOn.
