MORNINGS SERMON
BY PETER CARTWRIGHT
CLAD IN HOMELY GARB OF
FRONTIER HE DELIVERED
THE MOST IMPRESSIVE AD-
DRESS OF THE CONFERENCE.

.'There was a well-known preacher
I'm the southwest named Peter Cart
wright. Peter did not put on any
frills. He went among the noun
t~aineers. and wherever duty called
him. wearing the homely garb OF the
frontier, his chief articles OF attire
being a hunting shirt and a girdle.
He spoke from the heart, and he
reached the hearts of those to whom
he spoke. Wherever Peter Cart
wright went the people turned out to
hear him, because they felt that they
would get the Gospel message from
one whose simple. foreible WORDS
they could readily grasp. The time
came for a conference at Nashville,
and Peter Cartwright, with his hunt
ing shirt, was among the attendant
preachers. Henry p. Bascom, after
ward bishop, presided, and was in
personal appearance at least quite a
contrast to Peter. Brother Bascom
wore a white shirt, and was gotten
up in the style of a clergyman ae-
eustomed to the environment of 9
growing community, already at tha'
time the civic center of Tennessee
Bascom did not approve the get-ul
of Brother Peter. and showed his dis
approval by emitting to ask Pete
to deliver an address In the church
rs was customary in rotation during
the conference
While Peter was not a favorit
with Bascom. he was liked by nearl
everybody else, and the fame of hi
rude effective eloquenee had GO

at the 54th session of the grand
lodge of Washington in Spokene,
that each attract the confidence of
IA boy and direct him into the ways
of right. 1t is expected that most
of the It's lodges in the state, with
1880 members enrolled will adopt
the plan before the year is ended.

ment were launched by the Masons
In this jurisdiction Judge Neterer
said, intense would be the interest
and great would be the result and
pleasure in much constructive work
in real character building.
There exists a necessity for
wholesome influence and fraternal
cooperation in behalf of boys. The
course of conduct and treatment of
many boys at home and by the pub
lie should be changed. Worthy ex-
amples should be presented and
wholesome sentiment created. You
can initiate a plan which will prop
erly direct and conserve the energ.
and ambition of the boy.
THE highest authorities ar
agreed that nothing in the world sc

and they wanted to hear him. The
pressure on Bascom was so great
that he was unable to resist, but he
sought To make Ii as uncomfortable
as he could for Peter and Peters ad-
mi-ers. SO one evening at the close
of the daily session, Brother Baseom
announced: Brother Peter Cart
wright will deliver a sermon in this
church at s o'clock tomorrow morn
irg and all who wish to hear him are
requested to be present
THE members of the conference
and others present were astounded.
Peter arose. calmly and deliberately,
Brethren he said, 4 hope every one
of you will he present to hear me-.
Gods message can be spoken in the
morning as we'll as any other hour,
and | will do my best to deliver It..
At q O'Clock IN the morning the
church was as full as 1t could hold,
and among the auditors was Genera
Andrew Jackson. who was spending
his closing years at the Hermitage
near Nashville. and quite religious
in that period of his life. Peter
Cartwright outdid himself in the fer
vor, the earnestness. the apostolic
spirit that breathed in his every ut
teranc". 1t was the most effective
sermon Of the conference, and thu
ministers and laity alike were i1spir
ed BY 1t. When Peter had concluded
he was told that General jackson
wished to speak to him. With {
hearty grasp of the hand the genera
spoke of the impression that the ser
mon had made on him. at the sam
time handing Peter ten dollars t.
help him in his ministry. And thu

this way the boy is aroused to think

Two Clever statssmen.

One crisis In Lord Palmerston's life
illustrates the absolute good humor
which may prevail W when political
enmity Is at its worst. Lord Derby
had made an attack upon him In the
upper house with such energy and elo-
Quence that the odds against him
seemed overwhelming. But he defend
ed himself and his policy from the
dusk Of one day to the dawn Of an
other with such tact, dexterity and
force of appeal to the national sense Of
honor that he was acquitted Of all
blame by q majority Of fourscore.
Next day In passing through the cor
ridor leading from Al anteroom to the
upper house one swing door opened to
his hand and at the same moment the
other to that Of Lord Derby. They
were opponents. but they were also
manly and sweet natured men. They
smiled.

THAT TRIP AROUND THE WORLD.

THAT TRIP AROUND THE WORLD.
The trip around the world under the
supervision Of the ladies' of the Wag.
ner Cemetery Association, on Tuesday
evening was q decided success in every
respect. Early in the evening the
florists commented gathering at the
rink which was the Union Dept, and
at seven thrifty tbs first 'strain loa1"
left on tteir merry trip, and at short
intervals then after other crowds fol-
lowed. The conyeyances we're auto
mobiles aud the first stop was in Ire
land. which was at the w. F. Brazzill
home. From there the travellers were
taken to Germany, D. H. Naeve's;
hence to China. E. d. Sadler's thence
to Japan, G. W. Bullock's, and from
there they were conducted to their ma
tive land, stopping the White House,
John Absher's. At each of the places
visited the tourists were entertained
by music and refreshments Of the va
riety popular ia that particular
country, and given . native souvenir.
Music was furnished j n Ireland BY
