WASHINGTON IN WALL STREET.

Sublime, where %traffic's pillows beat
A nations wealth about his feet,
He stands; upon the surging street
He looks benignly down.
He hears the distant, wall-hid sea,
The silver chime of Trinity,
And, voicing passion, grief or glee,
Our million-throated town.
And, up and down, our tasks we ply
With rapid step and needless eye,
Alert alone to sell and buy;
But when the day goes dim,
When evening brings its sweet release
From toll and care, when tumults cease,
When twilight crowns his brow with peace,
The children come to him.
Rejoicing, free, in careless grace
They climb the massy granite. base;
Unawed, they view that noble face,
They swarm the brazen knees
Whose polished surface now denies
The gray of age that artists prize;
But more than art is all that lies
In love of such as these.
What matters race, or hue, or creed?
Though born to wealth or born to need,
Or sprung. of poor piebeian seed
Or proud patrician stem,
From lowly hut or lordly hall
By these his land shall rise or fall.
His hand outstretched above them all,
Their father blesses them.

went there to feed his horse. His
face, neck, legs and arms were badly
bitten and his clothing was torn.
When he finally came off victor fifty
rats lay dead on the barn floor, but
he looked as though he had been

found five rats in a feed barrel when
he went into the barn. He picked up
a pitchfork and dispatched two of
them. The other three got out of the
barrel and attacked him. Other rats
swarmed out of the holes in the floor
and ran up Fischer's clothing to his
face and neck. He was covered with
blood when he went to his home.

enough for him to drag her from the

Policeman Harms hurried to the
house. He found Mrs. Beach lying
on a bare floor, her clothing smolder-

may be, is essentially Christly. The
apostle advises us to be Christlike
when he points US to Jesus. Neces-
sarily and logically, therefore, we will
be men who act and live like Jesus
Christ. The hymn which runs, Jesus
Christ is my all and in ALL" states the
situation perfectly. Self is glorifed
through the losing of self in the
Saviour.
To put on Jesus Christ and to be
clothed upon by Him is to be saved,
to grow from grace unto grace, to be
one Of that strong, full-blooded. sane
tilted host who, under God, live and
preach the Christ life. You will no
tice / say live and preach, for the
only preaching that is of value or
that, in the long run, will count for
anything very much, is the preaching
that flows rich and full and free out
of a life that is consistent, that rings
true; out Of a heart rich with expert
nee of the glorious Joys and possibil-
tiles of the life within Jesus. And
as with the preaching, so also witt
all the a by which Gods Gospel
is mediated to men. The only testi-
mony which secures results is that
which springs from a trusted source
The only word which will strike home
is that which has behind 1t a convic-
ton and an assurance that is born of
experimental knowledge. To preach
Christ with power we must be &C.
counted sincere and sure.
The Christ man will be a strong
man. That is to say, he will be full
of force. He may be warped and
drawn physically, as n mighty mes
senger of God whom 1 know, but his
heart is pure, and his mind is clean,
and his soul looks out toward Heaven
through windows that are not dimmed
by sin.
The man who is clothed by and
with Jesus is a full-blooded man.
His heart beats powerfully, his eye
is clear, his head works quick,
his hand is ready and his step
is firm when sin is to be met
and battled to the death. Without
a culver, a quaver, or even the slight
est fear will he fight against the
wrong. To be sure, he may not be
blue-blooded, as the social standards
of our day set the term. He may
quail fnforce the unjust combato He
may refuse to pick a quarrel merely
in order to despoil a people. But
there, there where the fight is hottest
and sin is strongest e~ntrenched; there
where the odds are against him and
it seems his God must fail; there, on
the Lords own side, will you find
the man who is clothed upon with
Christ.
But, above all, the mar who puts
on Christ continually is sanctifed.
He is being perfected in holiness.
He is in process of attainment in
growth in goodness. Saneti1catkp1s-
not only pe~rfectness, but the process
and way to holiness entire. The aim
of the mar who is serving s-for the
goal. His hand is ever in the hand
of God. He lever lets policy give the
sidetrack to principle. With him
truth has the right Of way and the
clear road always. His motives are
above suspicion. If he falls in the
rae he is still undaunted. For him.
to be well up at the end, is ambition's
hope. To keep the faith is his en-
deavor. For Christ and the world
is his motto. 20

Death Serves Eviction Papers.


Aunt Polly" Van Nostrand, eighty
years of age, has at last been evicted.
For years this aged negress defied
the efforts of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road to get her out of the house she
occupied, At New Brunswick. 1t was
formerly in Hale street, but the con-
struction of the railroads freight
yards at Baldwin and Hale streets
brought the house directly in the
yards. Aunt Polly's" old employers
lac given her the house rent free,
and she could see no reason for get
ting out because of g change of own
ers. The railroad company offered
her another house, but she did not
want to move. When they tried to
evict her she stood guard with an
axe, and nobody wanted to tackle the
eviction job. The tracks were built
right up to her house, but she hung
on until her death ended the fight.
