MANS DIVINE DESTINY.
Theme Of DR.. John Lee Allison's Ser
mon Yesterday.

Rev. DR.. John Lee Allison, pastor Of Gun
ton-Temple Memorial Presbyterian Church,
preached yesterday morning on the text
from Romans vf:29. He said, in part:
Mans divine destiny in the light the text
means conformation to the image Of Jesus
Christ. God has. therefore, wondrously en-
dowed him to reach up toward fellowship
with the divine and infinite. All his powers
Of intellect, affection and will converge to-
ward splendid development in the realm OF
spiritual life in making character, and char
acter Is eternal. No creature below man
has ever hungered after righteousness,
while no true man can be satisfied with
anything else, and this ls prophecy or mis-
divine destiny.
with some the measure of mankind Is
muscle; with others it is money or morals;
but with the true Christian the measure Of
manhood Is the measure of perfection-the
man Christ Jesus, and a conformation to
his likeness in character and life is the
hope and aSpiratiO of the souls.
We come to know that not
children of the dust but of the King, i'm
mortal and eternal, and hei.s of an tnher
itance incorruptible, undefiled and that fad
eth not away, for as many as received Him
to them gave He the right to become the
sons of Cod and if children their heirs
heirs Of God and joint heirs with Christ
When this ideal of mans divine destiny
lays hold of men, its power will sweep the
earth with spiritual victories, lifting hu-
manity to higher planes Of conduct and to
purer motives. No power can destroy an
individual or nation with this passion for
goodness. God and glorious destiny. 1t
is. therefore mans privilege to live the life
of an angel while occupying the body of a
beast. and climb the heights of his divine
nature and look ever towards Heaven

MAY NOT BE RATIFIED
ANALCSTAN ISLAND SALE LIKE
LY TO BE HELD UP.

After hearing the exceptions filed by the
American Colonization Society and another
noteholder to the ratification of the sale
of Analostan Island fer 100000 to a New
York amusement company, Justice Gould
today intimated that he would not ratify
the sale. Blair Lee and John d. Coughlan,
the trustees, holding title to the property
and who had effected the sale through
David Moo-e the local real estate broker,
asked the court to withhold the signing of
decree refusing ratification.
1t is understood that the price offered will
pay the directors the entire amount of their
claims less about $500 account Of in
terest. 1t is thought likely that an effort
will be made to have the proposed pur-
chasers buy the claims of those opposing
the sale Should this be effected the sale
may be contaminated, but if the Colonial
ton Society declines to sell it is considered
more than likely that the sale VIII fall
through.
The objection of the exceptants, filed
through Attorney w. G.. Johnson, is based
the failure of the trustees to advertise
the property at public auction before at
tempting to effect private sale. They
also claim that the original decree for sale
passed by the Equity Court did not en-
power the trustees to sell privately. The
price is also considered by them inadequate.

WHARF REBUILT.
Accommodations at Fort Foote for the
River Steamers.

The old wharf at Fort Foote, Md. which
for several years was in so dilapidated a
condition that the steamers could not land
there, has been rebuilt and is in excellent
order, and may once more be included In
the schedules Of the river steamers running
to and from this city. From the time the
fort was abandoned soon after the civil war
until 1t was practically rebuilt by the engi-
neer's battalion Of the army but little work
had been done upon it, and that was done
by the steamboat companies using 1T. The
government retained possession of the post
and an old retired sergeant of artillery had
charge there. About three years ago the
reservation was turned over to the engi-
neerS' battalion, then stationed at WASH
ington barracks, and was converted into
drill ground and target range by the army
authorities.
The United States army lighter Pontonier
Is used to convey the soldiers to and from
this city, and to give them safe landing
place the wharf was rebuilt. Recently resi-
dents of that section of Maryland who for
merly used the pier for goods shipped to
them have requested the managers of the
river steamers to again make landings
there, and the request Is being considered,
with every probability that it will be grant
ed. The use of the pier will be a great
convenience. 1t will save the farmers
long drive to this city and give them daily
communication with Washington and Alex
andria.

through all to make some advancement in
Christian experience and life.
The message this morning is old one,
but applicable to our day and generation.
The church must go forward. There can
be no thought of a backward movement
That would mean disaster. The bugle of
Christianity never sounds a retreat. The
Christian is provided with armor for his
back. Paul said, I press toward the mark.
1t is a forward movement
Neither can the church stand still. The
church is living organization. Life means
activity, growth, development Still water
is stagnant water. We must do more than
mark time. Onward Christian Soldiers "
The pastor here called attention to the
work of the church during the past four
years. which revealed a total contribution
Of over $4,000 and the reception of 12S
new members.
Continuing, the speaker said:
Let us go forward to a larger concep-
ton of Christianity. We live in an age
of enlarged vision and this fact should
make us careful to grasp every opportun
ity God gives for the advancement of His
cause. Let there be a wise expenditure
Of men and money in the desire to hasten
the coming of His kingdom. While we are
no less Baptists than heretofore, hail
with joy the wisdom that is coming with
INSTRUMENTATION fellowship that places
the salvation of men before the churching
of them. God hasten the day when a town
Of 800 inhabitants will not have seven
to nine churches but when the energy and
money wasted, there will be used for God
in regions where there is no church
Let US go forward to Astounding
sociabiity. The church is to be spiritual
above all things, but sociability is an inn
portant factor in it's work. Many have
been won to Church by means of warm
handclasp, and loving word of welcome.

with men. This man receiveth sin
ners and eateth with them.

church.
For several years he was pastor OF
churches in New Hampshire. Massachu-
sets and Illinois, gaining the reputation
while thus engaged of building more

out the northern states than any half
dozen men of his church. He was then

ence was felt for good wherever he went

where no other Cniversalst ever preached
and upon his second visit to any town had
audiences which no other Universallst nor
any other preacher of the town ever had
His friends and relatives in Washington
as well as those of Virginia and West Vir-
GINA, will be shocked to receive the news
of his death.

not physical violence that John had in mind
when he sent forth his messages to the
Corinthians. He was seeking to instill

His Children's" Qualifications.

The followers of God-those who. by
faith. are true to the precepts of His teach
ngs-are only worthy to be called His
children. The son who visits the home of
his parents only from a sense of duty and
who departs therefrom as quickly as he
may cannot be called true child. So 1t is
with him who attends the house of his
Heavenly Father and with manner some
what irrelevant endures a service i'll which
he finds no pleasure, and profits not by
the teaching of the Word.
These are unnatural sons and like de-
duCjiOns may be drawn from the case of the
New York millionaire who for reasons suf-
ficient unto himself renounces his allegi-
anCe to The country of his nativity and
seeks to obtain recognition as social fac
tor III Great Britain. AS a contrast to him
is the young Dane, who. coming to America
begins work as a reporter. and later shows
to US how the other half lives. Jacob Riis
by his efforts among the poor. has accom-
plished great good. and his name is hon
ored in the land One is an adopted, the
other unnatural son.
'faitn only leads the way to the blessed
right to be called children of God. and by
faith only can we hope 10 attain that right
