Another Riot.

At an after meeting. called Tor
Dowie adherents only, but which was
invaded by a large number of those
who we're riotous at the former meet
ing, Dowie precipitated second gen.
eral disturbance. He caused to be
read a letter from one of his sup
porters stating that the writer's wife
had passed safely through the crisis
of a serious Illness while Dowie pray
ed for her. This fact Dowie compared
with the case OF Mrs. II. e. Cantweli
wife of an overseer. who died last
Friday without medical attention
while Voliva and his Supporters were
Offering prayers for her recovery
Dowie declared that he feared the
woman died because she had asso-
ciated herself with rebels. Imme-
diately there was a storm of Kisses
and shouts of shame" There Is
death in store for more of you IL this
rebellion keeps on" continued Dowie
Again the people sprang from their
chairs shouting and gesticulating un-
til their tumult became so general
that Dowie was obliged to bring the
meeting to close.

20 brethren, is it not a great work?
Is there anything on earth that will COM
pare with it? Some one went into the
Presidents White House and saw him
with his desk piled up, the papers full
of criticism and they said to him: What
an awful thing it must be to be in your
place.; but he smiled and showed his
teeth and said: II like my job" l sup
pose there are lot of other people who
would like his job, but, before God,
1 would not change places with any
sovereign on any throne. When the Pres
ident goes into his office and sees the re-
sponsibility facing him, he smiles with
his great manly smile and says, Il am
delighted to have a chance to get at some
new work" And when l go into the
church of God and look over the gather
ing of people, would not take thousand
dollars minute for the joy that comes
into my soul when see these young peo-
pie enter and steal up the aisle and then
become humble followers of the Lord Jesus
Christ, and l think Of the rewards for
winning souls and meeting them at
Heavens right hand. May Heaven help
you to win many souls throughout the

PERSONAL TESTIMONY.

The organ of Keswick Convention says;
"A word OF warning seems needed in
connection with one point observed in
some recent Holiness Conventions There
seems to be real danger in the undue
prominence and the often unwise ex-
preston of the photographed element.
while the testimony of personal expe-
rlence is often helpful for guidance, it
may quite easily become misleading.
There were two or three personal re-
ferences at Keswick that it would have
oeen wiser not to have made" That is
significant. Of Presbyterians it is often
remarked that they are much too reticent.
TOO reluctant to tell What God has done
for my soul" In some quarters it an
pears the danger is of the opposite. an
oFer-readlness to relate personal relig-
lous experience. Nevertheless the fact
remains that a speaker who can modestly
ana Judiciously give personal testimony
Yields great power over an audience.

with good effect. And a greater than
Spurgeon, st. Paul, most powerfully and

GENESIS.

The Book of Genesis enjoys the dis
junction of being the most ancient and
at the same time the most modern book
In Christendom. The latest that we have
read on this ever fruitful theme is by
the Rev. H. B. Pratt entitled Studies
on the Book of Genesis" work of $50
pages, and sold by the American Tract
Society. Mr.. Pratt is an accomplished
l1ngu1St, and translated the Bible into
Spanish for the American Bible Society.
He also wrote two commentaries in Span
1sh, one on Genesis and the other on
Exodus, the only commentaries in the
Spanish language on any part of the Old
Testament This was done largely on
Mr.. Pratts own responsibility, and III
order to meet the expense by finding a.
larger constituency the commentary on
Genesis is translated into English. The
author recognizes the latest scientific
theories as to the creation and at the
same time adheres to the literal record

The author was one of the large and
happy company of American pilgrims to
the Holy Land on the occasion of the
Worlds Fourth Sunday-school at Jeru-
salem. For his own profit, keeping a.
journal throughout the cruise, he was re-
quired to tell his people all about it in
evening lectures on his return. These
lectures were demanded in letters also
in the home papers. And so came the
demand from many friends that there
should be book to preserve these let
tiers and give them wider reading. 1t
is kind of book that is easy and en-
tertaining reading and at the same time
informing and profitable. The book is
well made and has many fine illustra-
lions. 1t Is a most creditable example

SATURDAYS LYNCHiNG.
Two Negroes Strung Up and Roasted
Alive by Angry Mob.

Springfield. Mo-. April 15.-A mob of
5000 men Saturday night took Horace
Duncan and Jim Copeland, negroes
from the county Jail, hanged them L.
the Goddess of Liberty on the court
house and built fire under them and
roasted them to death. The men We're
charged with assaulting Mabel Ed
wards, but it is said they We're proba :
bly, innocent.
Friday night while Miss Edwards
and young man named Cooper We're
out riding in a buggy, they We're
stopped by two negroes, who beat
CoOper into Inconsistencies and
dragged Miss Edwards into the woods
by the roadside and assaulted her.
Duncan and Copeland We're arrested on
suspicion, but there was no evidence
against them. One thousand men gath
cred at the city Jail Saturday night
and on learning that the negroes We're
rot there. FASTENED to the county Jail
where the prisoners We're confined.
Instead of attacking the Jail first the
mob stormed the residence of the coun-
ty sheriff. breaking down doors
smashing windows. destroying the fur
niture in the lower part of the house
and rendering the sheriff's wife uncOn-
scious from fright and violence. Over
coming the resistance of the sheriff and
posse of deputies, the mob secured
the key to the Jail and gained entrance
thereto
The mob had no difficulty in finding
the cells of Duncan and Copeland.
When the committee who entered the
Jail came out with the two negroes the
mob began to clamOr for summary ex-
ecUtion, shouting Hang them" "Burn
them" The negroes We're taken to the
public square and hanged to a statue
of the Goddess of Liberty and a fire
kindled under them in which they We're
roasted, 5000 persons watching their
agonics.

New York. April ia statement given
out tonight by the Equitab bic life Assur-
ance Society says:
Investigation shows that the fears en-,
gendered by the developments of the year

for $4,000 was allowed to lapse. OF the
entire volume of lapsed policies in the

forts to restore the standing of lapsej

said:
My belief that the small pol:cyhoIde,
was the chief sufferer from the agita tior
and excitement regarding life insurance
is now confirmed. The holders of policies
of 5000 and upwards are generally men
of business experience. Through fear,
based on misrepresentation of the real
facts, and often of misrepresentation
thousands of small policyholders allowed
their policies to lapse"

witness merely repeating the testimony
given in direct examination.

ing?"
