FRENZIED AS THEY GAVE.
The Sum of $101,500 Raised for
Heathens in One Meeting.
From the New York Sun.
Old Orchard, Me., Aug. 9.—The
emotional convention is spreading.
There was one here today, but it was
; not political. It was equally remark
able in many ways with the Chicago
convention. It was the mission day
Dr. Simpson and Christian Alliance
convention, and the day appointed
for the receipt of efferings.
“The record has been broken for
giving for missions,” said the Rev
D. W. Lelaehuer, a missionary in
China, to the Suu representative at
the close of the meeting. “The total
offering is $101,500, the largest
amount subscribed in a single service
for the work. The money has liter
ally poured down like the rain.”
“Either we have been in the real
presence of the spirit, or else this
great audience hie been under the
hypnotic influence of the speakers,”
remarked a cool business man after
the day was over. He is a man not
a member of the alliance.
The stately pines and towering
beeches of the Old Orchard camp
ground, a veritable tabernacle of
nature, have looked upon many re
markable gatherings. They have
heard the patriotic utterances of
Hannibal Hamlin in the times of po
litical peril; they have listened to the
elcquence of James A. Garfield; they
have seen John B. Gongh hold a great
audience spell-bound; they have
caught up and reoheered the cheers
of the veterans when Devens and
Logan talked to them of battles
fought and won; they have looked
down and beheld crowds go mad
over the utterances of Maine’s two
idols, dead and living, Blaine and
Reed; they have scattered with the
breeza of heaven the echoes cf songs
enng by thousands, thrilled by the
. preaching of a Beecher or a Phillip
' Brook?; but never in thrir long years
have they been silent witnesses of a
more remarkable scene than that
which was enaoted today. When Dr.
Simpson arose to make his appeal he
faced a crowd of at least 10,000
people. It was an audience made up
from every walk and condition of
life, and an audience that sat for hours
on the words of the exhort
ers, laughing or weeping at the will
of the speakers, shouting hallelujahs,
and showing by the workings of the
countenances the earnestness of their
interest in the services. It was an
audience that was finally to lose all
control of itself on the fervor of its
faith, and in the end was to contri
bute, under its influence of what a
layman would call a religious evan
gelistic hysteria, and in turns ranging
from a nickel to $25,000, the sum of
$101,500. When sema of tha givers
wake up to-morrow they will pinch
themselves to see if they were awake
or only dreaming. Dr. Simpson’s
sermon was brief. His theme was
that all are debiors to Christ, and
can never liquidate till they have
given everything and done every
thing possible. He said;
“We must sacrificate; do what
hurts. God loves what buris, be
cause it smells of the sweet odor of
Calvary. I must solemaly lay the
command of Christ upon you, 'Go ye.’
What will you do about it?”
Louise Shepard then sung a song,
and then the Rev. Lelacheur spoke
from *he text, “What Have Ye in the
House?” He charged them to give
it all, if they wou’d hope for joy
eternal. Then the subscriptions were
called for. The first was sl, and
was given by Mrs. F. E. Morrow, who
said sho had gone without her supper
and breakfast, and was now going
without her dinner to give this.
Then came a man who said he had
started from Springfuld with only a
dollar. He had got here somehow.
He gave his last oO cents last night.
He had since earned $2, and he gave
that. He said he left a wife and
children at Springfield. They hadn’t
any money, but had enough to last
them until the next night, then the
Lord would provide.
The next donation was $25,000.
From this point the money simply
rained down. It came in bills, in
gold, in silver, in checks, in
bonds, in stocks, and in pledges.
The monster gift was from a man in
New York, who telegraphed 10,000
shares of stock worth $5 per share at
par, but for which he would give his
check for $25,000. His name is not
to be had. Mr. Lelacheur said they
needed two house boats for the work
ia China They cost $250 each.
They were paid for in a moment.
Then the missionary on the Congo
needed two steam launches at $35,-
000 each. J. R. Libbey, a merchant,
of Portland, promptly provided for
one, and the other was quickly taken
care of.
One woman said she had two oot
tages at O<d Orchard. They needed
a missionary honse in the Congo-
She made a sale of the property on
the spot for $5,000, and the house on
the Congo will be built. One woman
said she had SSOO she had been sav
ing to send her sick sister to a spot
where there was hope of recovery.
She gave th s for the Celestials in
southern China. A man quickly gave
his piano to turn into money. Then
a missionary named Creamer made
an inipressioned appeal, crying out:
“You cannot hold up jeweled hands
and hands with gold and silver and
have them clean before God! There’s
blood on them. Take them off; take
them off. Give them to the Lord;
they a-e for His work.”
Then came an avalanche of jew
elry. Wasches, diamonds, rings,
chains, keepsrkes, heirlooms, were
cast into the baskets, all to go into
the pot of the chemist, the proceeds
to go to the heathen. These are but
a few scenes from the strange mani
festation of the power of the ex
horters.
From that same audience for the
worthiest philanthropic object you
could not have raised SI,OOO in the
ordinary way. Tee givers were of
every walk of life, from the ragged
urchin who gave a nickel to the New
Yorker whose large contribution has
been told of.
The great audience went home
practically without a cent in its
pocket, without a ring upon its finger,
without a jewel to its name. When
Dr. Simpson had carefully gone over
the fruits cf exhortation, eliminated
all doubtful pledges, he stated that
the offering was $101,500, an amount
upon which he would stake his honor
would all be piid up. Perhaps a
third of it was in money. More than
SIOO,OOO in a single day is the record
of this most notable religious gather
ing in this State, and it all goes to
the heathen of Asia and the Dark
Continent.
The nomination of Tom Watson
appeals to the sense of pride in every
Southern breast to vote for a South
ern man, not so much because he is
a Southern man but because it is
evidence that teotionahsm is de
throned and the people can elect a
man from any section of our common
country to the high office of Vice-
President.—Populist Sentinel.
The People’s party is not near as
dead as some supposed it would be
after the National Convention at St-
Louis, That convention gave it a
new lease on life, and now it will go
forward to victory.—Crawfordville
Advocate.

Watson’s New Book.
Mr. Watson has in press the firsi
volume of a History of France, treat
ed from the point of view of a mod
ern reformer. Commencing with
ancient Gaul, the book ends with the
death of Joan of Arc.
The Fast is the wisest teacher oi
the Present, and no nation teaches
more impressively than France. In
this first volume, the original abuses
of the system by which the Church
and the State finally maddened the
people and drove them into the wild
excesses of the French Revolution,
are clearly traced.
The second volume will embrace
the French Revolution; and the third
will give the story of Napoleon, and
the subsequent history of France
down to the present time.
The Author believes that tha Les
sors of Reform and the vital impor
tance of Good Government can be
better taught from the stern experi
ence of nations than from editorials
or from speeches.
The work now in press will be
ready for delivery in a few days.
It will be bound in cloth, printed
on first class paper and in the best
style, and will be sent, postpaid, to
any address, on receipt of one dollar.
Orders can be sent either to this
