The First M. E. Church.

Rev. George w. Miller, y. D.,
preached yesterday the third sermon
of the series on the proofs "a Ghist-
ianity. His subject was the Proph
ecies of the Messiah. lie quoted
the prophecy TO Adam that the seed
of the woman should bruise the ser
pants head, that to Abraham that in
him should all the nations of the
earth be blessed, the prophecy to
Jacob to Judah that 1.-THE lawgiver
should not depart from Judah until the
Shiloh come and unto Him shall the
gathering of the people be, - and the
prophecy of Daniel as TO the time the
Saviour should appear and the destruc-
tion of Jerusalem occur.
These, with others which the preach
er quoted, he said were fulfilled in
Christ-His death, resurrection and
ascension being amongst them. No
bad man, the Doctor declared, could
have written the Bible, no good one
would with the intention TO deceive.
The Bible, in both the New an d
Old Testaments, speaks of but one
person, the Saviour, who came 10
help man in his dire necessity. That
book is the source of happiness to all
peoples who follow its teachings.

new RULE ADOPTED.
Midshipmen May Go To The Naval Corps Of
Civil Engineers.

At the suggestion of Rear admiral
Rousseau, chief OF the naval bureau
of yards and docks new rule has
been adopted which will permit the
appointment of certain midshipmen
to the naval corps of civil engineers.
There continues TO be large number
of vacancies in the corps which it
seems next to impossible to fill from
civil life. Several examinations have
been held, and another one is likely
to be given in New York in the next
few months. There have been several
applications from junior line officers
and senior midshipmen. and especially
from the latter who have slight physi-
cal defects, such as poor eyesight,
and who are likely to encounter diff
Guilty in passing the examinati on in
the line.
Such candidates for appointment as
civil engineer would ordinarily find
no difficulty in getting into the corps
of civil engineers, especially as they
have had the requisite preliminary
training. Ii has been decided, how
ever, that the appointment from grad
uate midshipmen shall be limited to
those who pass in the first third Of
their respective classes.

\ merry and enthusiastic compan
of about one hundred and twenty
young people, or whom not fewer than
seyenty-five were candidates, gathered
in the Christian Association rooms

cruiser bearing the name Of the young
lady commanding. The men,
shortly after entering the ball. were
given an examination, on passing
which they received commissions, and
when they had stripes appropriate
to their rank sewed on their sleeves,
they were ordered 20 the different
ships. Very conspicuous on each ship
was what the immaginative might call
a chatting dish, and when from the
department came orders TO get un-
der way" the chief engineer OF the
ship lighted the lamp. the executive
officer put the various ingredients into
the dishes and the navigating officer
haean stirring. ~ayory odors that
followed Of cream oysters, Welsh
rabbit, fudge. caramel and the like,
indicated that the officers life. though
not without toll. offered much in Ie-
turn to those who rightly accepted
their duties and responsibilities.
The ladies commanding the different
ships were the Misses Amcs, Starr,
Munford, Bartlett, Coda Munroe,
Louise Munroe. Wilmer, Tilley, Terry,
Margaret Bryan, Frances Bryan,
Laura Steele Carolyn steele, Walk,
Walker, Mrs. Foley and Mrs. John

department of the Navy, were Mrs.
Bartlett, Mrs. Wilmer and Mrs. Ste
vens. Mrs. Lowndes and Miss Ran
dali. by the Marine band which they
organized, aroused much enthusiasm.

course of the evening that the young
men should make this but the begin
ming of a series of informal social
evenings, Saturday nights commonly
among their own number) and COM
mittee will shortly be appointed to de-
velop this idea.
