Ralfour, chief seeretaiy for Ireland,
announced in the Mouse of Commons
(Tint the government had proclaimed the
Tnsh National League. The Govern
ment had thus taken die power conferred
upon them by that statute to prohibit
uud suppress the League. The Pall Mall
Gazette very vigorously attacks the gov
ernment party for adopting in the House
of Commons the Earl of Cadogan’s
nmcudtneiM to'the Irish Laud bill relat
ing to town parks. The Gazette urges the
Liberals to revolt again-t the govern
ment's Irish pulley in the House of Com
mons, to obstruct the passage of supplies
measures, and lints force dissolution.
Mr. Parnell, said that the action of the
government in proclaiming the League
Wlis a gratuitioiu insult to the
Irish, considering the present condition
of Ireland. It was merely a move to
cover the weakness of the land bill. If
the bill did not protect tenants from
eviction, trouble would be inevitable dur
ing the coming winter. A riot occurred
at Kcnmare, County Kerry, Ireland, and
a mob attacked and stoned the barracks
where the police were quartered.
The police charged with drawn
swi ids upon the rioters, injuring inuny
of them and arresting a number.
The Irishmen of Liverpool adopted
resolutions protesting against the proc
-1 unation of the Irish National League.
Similar resolutions were adopted at a
meeting of radicals in London. A dele
gation of members of the English home
rule union will soon visit Ireland in order
to give expression to the good-will of
English liberals toward the Irish. A
public reception will be given the dele

Gladstone’s declaration in favor of the
Channel tunnel is, whatever else may lie
said of it, a tactical mistake. Till he
spoke, the great majority of Englishmen
regarded the tunnel scheme as dead and
buried and took a humorous view of t~' ir
Edward Watkins’s fitful effort at resur
rection. Mr. Gladstone’s language re
vives their fears. There are large num
bers of Englishmen who consider
the question whether a tunnel shall be
made under the channel as considerably
m re vital than th- question whether
Ireland.ahull have home rule. The effect
if Mr. Gladstone’s uncalled-for profession
of Ifliih hr tliis scheme will be to alienate

TOM WOOLFOLK'S CASE.
A l*alr of Hloody Socks Found in n Well—
The I’rlaoiier’a Agitation.
It was decided to clean out the well
on the Woolfolk place near Macon, Gu.,
the residence of tue lute Capt. Woolfolk,
who was so brutally murdered with his
family. After going down pretty deep
a pair of socks was touud all blood
stained, which were identified as the
socks commonly worn by Tom Woolfo.k-
This adds another link to the chum which
is already drawing about the neck ol the
murderer. The searchers hoped to lied
his pistol in the well, but they failed,
as it had been either sold or pawned in
Mgcon before the deed was committed.
Shortly after tjie discovery of tlie mur
ders, a photographer took a large and
life-like picture of the horrid scene,
which was shown Tom Wolfolk in his
cell at the Atlanta jail by a fellow-prisoner.
His eyes came in contact with it, but
rested there but a second only. Then
they rolled quickly away anil about the
cell. As qnickly, however, they re
turned to the picture, and then away
again. A fascination drew his eyes to
wards it as rapidly as some unexplained
feeling carried them away. The fascina
tion mastered the situation, and in less
time than it takes to tell it, the prisoner's
eyes were riveted upon the picture. The
gaze was intent and steady, anil as the
outlines began to be defined, Woolfolk
began to tremble. The tremble soon be
came a shake, and raising both hands to
his face ns if to shut out the horrible
bloody vision, he turned upon his heels,
saying: “Oh, my God 1 that is horrible!”
\\ OM AN’S WIT SAVES LIFE.
The Union Pacific and Burlington
roads cross Sand creek ten miles east of
Denver, Col., on bridges, almost parral
lel and within a few feet of each other.
When an engineer of one of the Union
Pacific trains was within a few feet of
the bridge, he was horrified to see that
the flood in the early part of the evening
had washed the middle section away. The
fireman jumped into the stream and stuck
in the sand, whence he was taken out half
an hour later unconscious. Engineer
Masterton reversed his engine just as it
plunged into the water with a baggage
car, which fell on top of bis body, bury
ing it in the sand. His engine was com
pletely submerged in the sand. Baggage
man Love was badly injured by fulling
trunks. An old German lady, living
near bv, heard the cries of the fright
ened people and rushed out with a lan
tern and stopped an express on the Bur
lington route, within a fen- feet of the
bridge, probably saving other lives, ns
the bridge of this road was also in a dan
gerous condition.
WHAT TIU.IIPS DID.
I). L. Hiller lives upon a farm near
Magic Grove, Minn., with his mother and
brothers. While the brothers were ab
sent from the house, two men called and
asked for something to eat. Mrs. Hiller
complied with their request, and when
they had finished eating, one of them
picked up a poker and threatened to kill
her. The old lady begged them to spare
her life, whereupon the brutes dragged
her to a cistern and threw her in. 'I he
cistern is twelve feet deep, and was half
full of water, but Mrs. Hiller clung to
the lead pipe of the pump, and manag
ed to keep afloat several hours, when her
sons returned, and she was taken out in
an exhausted condition. Investigation
showed that the tramps had ransacked
and abstracted $l7O in cash, and $1,320
in certificates of deposit in the First Na
tional bank, of Minneapolis.

SAVED FROM DEATH.
The Ilont from rlie Fify of Montreal Hen*
curd by a German Vessel.
The City of Montreal’s missing boat
has been picked up and the seven pas
sengers and six members of the crew,
who were in it, are safe and well. The
rescue was made by a German vessel,
named Mathilda, which arrived at Fal
mouth, England, with the thirteen sur
vivors on board. The survivors say, that
Oil the iirst day after leaving the steamer,
they experienced very rough weather.
They had a plentiful supply of bread and
meat, but very little water. Asa conse
quence they suffered badly from thirst.
The weather was hot, and this greatly
contributed to their discomfort. The
rescued men say that when their boat
left the burning steamer, there were fif
teen persons on board. Finding it too
crowded, two persons jumped aboard an
other boat. There was only half a keg
of water in the boat, and that was bad.
There was no sail aboard and no means
for signalling passing vessels. The boat
was nearly swamped twice and the men
had a hard struggle to keep her afloat by
bailing. Two days after leaving tlie
steamer, sighted another vessel and pulled
toward it and found that it was the City
of Montreal, still burning. They tried
to board her to obtain more water, but
hr plates were too hot.
PECULIAR REGULATION.

her junior. In their letter to her the
"White Caps” say: “You are aware of
his tender years and care nothing for him
further than that he is to receive a hand
some allowance at the age of twenty-one.
You have been heard to make this re
mark, and the community would be bet

leave without further warning.”

QUARTETTE OF ACCIDENTS.

lo l>rmll u Train l Ifni* It*
Emigrant train No. 83, going on the
Baltimore A Ohio Railroad, ran into a
freight train at the Easton siding, twenty
miles east of Wheeling, W. Va. A. F.
Smith, engineer of the emigrant train,
and Inane Arbuthaot, fireman, were in
stantly killed. The engineer and fireman
of the freight truni were only slightly in
jured. Fifteen of the emigrants are
seriously, hut none were fatally hurt,
elinith and Arbuthaot lived in Wheeling
where they have families. The accident
was the result of a jniiapprchciision of
orders on the part of the engineer of tin
freight train, who thought lie had the
right-of-way amt pulled out of the siding
just as the emigrant train came up. The
Baltin ore Jc Ohio express train which
left Pi sburg, Pa., jumped the track at
Hermitage station, six miles east ol t on
nellavi i , badly wrecking the engine and
and baggage cars, which went over all
embankment. One passenger coach was
derailed, Imt none ot the passengers were
injured. The train men escaped by
jumping, the only person hurt being the
fireman, who broke his leg. A passen
ger train on the Peoria, Decatur A Evans
ville Railroad was derailed near Salt
creek, Mo. The engine and all the cars
left the rails while going forty miles an
hour. Fortunately, the entire train re
mained on the grade and came to a stand
still, after humping on the ties two hun
dred feet. Search was made for the
cause of the accident and was discovered.
The fish plates and spikes had been re
moved from the rails. In weeds ou the
bank a crowbar and other tools were
found, with which the work had been
done. There is uo doubt the purpose of
the fiends was to rob the train. A freight
train following close behind was stopped
a few yards from the derailed passenger
train, and thus what might have been a
horrible disaster was averted. On the
Lehigh Valley railroad, at Ransom town

OLD HICKORY'S FAVORITE

Mrs. Sarah Jackson died at the Hermi
tage. Tennessee, aged eighty-one, leav
ing two children, Col. Andrew Jackson,
ot West Point, who was an artillery of
ficer in the late War on the Southern side
and made reputation, and Mrs. Dr. John
Lawrence. One son, Samuel, was killed
at Chioamagua in battle. Mrs. Sarah
Jackson, now remembered by but few
people, was for four years —or nearly
four years—the most prominent lady of
the land, the mistress of the White
House. About the commencement of
Gen. Jackson’s second term, his adopted
soil, Andrew Jackson, Jr., married Miss
Sarah York, of Philadelphia, a youDg
lady of accomplishments, of good family
and great personal beauty. The adopted
son, who was a nephew- of Mrs. Jackson,
brought his young bride to the . White
House, where she was received by the
President, who was a widower, Mrs.
Jackson having died after his first elec
tion and before he became President.
She proved to be a most devoted daugh
ter and loving wife. Gen. Jackson was
a peculiar man. The loss of his wife
four years before had changed his whole
life. All his letters—letters to members
of the family and friends—showing that
during his first term he was grieving over
his great loss. But when the time ex
pired. the old general came back
11> the Hermitage. In time he died,
leaving to his son and the family a
li ie estate. This was lost and the
family were in straitened circumstances.
Tile son died in 1807, and new the
once beautiful bride, the mistress of the
White House —the old hero’s greatest
comfort and solace in his old age—passes
away at the age of 81.

cheers in the House of Commons when
he arose to move his resolution “That an
humble address be presented to
Victoria representing that the viceroy of
Ireland has proclaimed the National
League a dangerous association, and that
no information has been furnished to Par
liament to justify the proclamation by
virtue of which her majesty’s subjects
are to lie renderefl liable to be punished
as criminals without a judicial inquiry in
to the nature of their acts, and that this
house, in the absence of such information,
prays that said proclamation shall not
continue in force as to association named
and described therein.”
NASHVILLE’S FIRE.
A fire started in one of the tanks at
the Standard Oil Company’s warehouse in
Nashville, Tenn., and the dense volumes
of black smoke that rolled up soon drew
thousands of people to every neighbor
ing hilltop to see. Being out of the city
limits, the only water available was from
ponds and cisterns, and this was practi
cally useless, so hot was the fire. The
flames spread to Swan's,marble works
and Pearce’s distillery, which were both
entirely destroyed. Loss about $100,000;
not insured.
EARTHQUAKE AT SIKA.
The steamship New Orleans, from New
Orleans, which arrived at New York,
experienced a shock of earthquake when
fifty mile.s off Charleston. The ship
rolled very deep, and there was a dis
tinct jar and vibration. The shock was
accompanied with three or four high seas.

A verv small difference, you s.-iv, bet own
(Jilead and Kphraim, and vet how much in
tolerance about that small difference. The
Lord's tribe in our time by which I ni an
the different denominations of ('hristiamt—
sometimes magnify a \ rv small c.ifl'erenee,
and the only difference bei w< on scores of lie
nominations to day is the difference between
shibboleth and sibboleth.
The church of (foil is divided into a great
number of denominations. Time would f nil
me to toll'd the ('alv mists, and the Armin
ians, and the Sabbatarians, and tho Baxter
fans, and tho Dunkcrs, and tho Shakers, and
the Quakers and tho Metho lists, and the
Baptists, and the Episcopalians, ami the
l.utherans. and the Congregni i< nalista, and
the Prcslwtpriaus, and the Spiritualists, and
a score ofather denominations <'f religionists,
some of them founded by very good men,
some of them founded by very egotistic men,
and some of them founded by very had men.
But as I demand for myself lil-ertv of con
science, I must give that same liberty to
every other man, remembering that he no
more differs from me than I differ from him.
I advocate the largest liliertv in all religious
belief and form of worship. In art, in
polities, in moruls, and in religion let there
be no gag law, no moving of the previous
question, no persecution, no intolerance.
You know that the air and the water keen
pure by constant circulation, and I think
there is a tendency in religious discussion to
purification and moral health. But ween tha
Fourth and the Sixteenth centuries 1 he church
proposed to make people think aright by pro
hibiting discussion and by strong censorship
of the press, end by rack, and gibbet, and
hot lead down tlie throat, tried to make peo
ple orthodox; but it was discovered that you
cannot change a mans belief by twisting
off his head, and that you cannot m ike a man
see things differently by putting an awl
through his eyes. There is something in a
man’s [conscience which will hurl off the
mountain that you throw upon it, and, un
■ingMl of the fire, out of the flame will make
red wings on which the martyr will mount to
glory.
In that time of which I speak, between tho
Fourth and Sixteenth centuries, people went
from the house of G<*d into the mostappal
ling Iniquity, and right along by consecrated
altars there were tides of drunkenness and
licentiousness such as the world never hoard
of. and the very sewers of fierdition broke
loose nml Hooded tho church. After a while
the printing press was freed, and it broke the
shackles of the human mind. Then there
came a large number of bad books, but where
there was one man hostile to the Christian
religion there were twenty mon ready to ad
vocate it; so I have not any nervousness in
regard to this battle going on between truth
•mi error.
The truth will conquer just ns certainly as
that God is stronger than the devil,
error run if you only let truth run along
with it. Urged on by skeptic’s shout and
transcendentalist's spur, let it run. God’s
angels of wrath ar* in hot pursuit, and
quicker than eagle’s beak cab has out a
hawk's heart God's, vengeance will tear it to
pieces.
I propose this mornjpg to speak to you of sec
tarianism—its origin, its evils and its curses.
There are those who would make us think
that this monster, with horns and hoofs,
is religion. I shall chase it to its biding
place, and drag it out of the caverns ol
darkness and rip off his hide, but l want to
make a distinction between bigotry and the
lawful fondness for peculiar religious beliefs
and forms of worship. I have no admiration
for a nothingarian.
In a world of such tremendous vicissitude
ami temptation, and with a soul that must
after a while stand Wore n throne of insuf
ferable brightness, iu a day when the rock
ing of the mount tins and the flaming of the
heavens and the upheaval of the sea shall l>e
among the least of the excitements, to give
account for every thought, word, action,
preference and dislike —that man is mad who
has no religious preference. But our early
education, our physical temperament, our
mental constitution will very much decide
our form of worship.
A of psalmody that may please mo
may displease you. Some would like to have
a minister in gown, and bands, and surplice,
and others prefer to have a minister in p ain
citizen's epparel. Koine are most impressed
when a litt’o child is presented at tho altar
and sprinkle 1 with the waters of a holy bene
diction “in ti e name ot the l ather, and of
the Bon, and of the Holy Ghost;” and others
are more impressed when the jMsnitent comes
up out of tho river, his garments dripping
with the waters of a baptism which signifies
the washing aw tv of sin. Let either have
his own way. One man liks no noise in
prayer, not a word, not a whisper. Another
man just as good prefers by gesticulation and
exclamation to express bjs devotional aspira
tions One is just as good as the other.
“Every man fully (icrsuaded in his own
mind.”
George Whitefleld was going over a Quaker
rather roughly for some of his religious senti
ments, and the Quaker said: “George, 1 ain
as thou art: lam for bringing all men to the
hope of the Gospel: therefore, if thou wilt not I
quarrel w ith me about my broad brim, I will
not quarrel with thee about thy black gown, i
George, give me thy hand.”
I. In tracing out the religion of sectarian- ;
ism, or bigotry, 1 find that, a great deal of it
comes from wrong education in tho home
circle. There arc parents who do not think :
it wrong to caricature and jeer the peculiar j
forms of religion in the world and denounce
other sects and other denominations. It is
very often the case that that kind of educa
tion acts lusts opposite to what was expected, ;
and the children grow up and, after a while
go ami see for themselves; and looking in j
those churches, and finding that the people
are good there, and they love God and keep
his ccsnmandments, by natural reaction thev
go and join those very churches. I could
mention the names of prominent ministers of
the gosjKil who spent their whole lives bom
barding other denominations, and who lived
to seo their children preach the Gospel in
those very denominations. iu. ii i-* oi en m I
case that bigotry starts in a household am! j
(hat the subject of it uever recovers. There
are tens of thousands of bigots 10 years old.
I think sectarianism and bigotry also rise
from too great prominence of any one de ;
nomination in a community. All the other
denominations are wrong, and his denomina
tion is right because his denomination is th<*
most wealthy, or the most popular, or the
most influential, ami it is “our” church, and
M our” religious organization,and “our” choir,
and “our” minister, and the man tosses his '
head and wants other denominations to know
their places. It is a great deal better in any |
community when the great denominations of I
Christians are about equal in power, m uvh
ing side by side for tne world’s conquest.
Mere outside prosperity.mere worldly power,
is no evidence that the church Is acceptable
to God. Better a barn with f’hrist in the
manger than a cathedral with magnificent
harmonies rolling through the long drawn
aisles and an angel from heaven in the pulpit
if there is no Christ in the chancel and no ,
Christ in the robes. Bigotry is often the child :
of ignorance.
You seldom find a man with large Intellect
who is a bigot. It is the man who thinks he
knows a great deal but does not. That man
is almost always a bigot. The whole tendency
of education and oivilixatlon is to bring a
man out Of that kind of state of min i and
i hmrt. Thom was in the far east, a groat o!m

More light, less sectarianism. There js noth
ing that will so soon kill bigotry as sunshine
1 -—God’s sunshine.
11. 8o I have set before you what I con-
I sider to l*e the causes of bigotry. I have set
l>efore yon the origin of this great evil.
What are some of the baleful effects.* First
|of all it cripples investigation. You are
wrong, and lam right, and t hat ends it. No
taste for exploration, no spirit of investiga
i tion. From the glorious realm of God's
i truth, over which an archangel might fly
Cron eternity to eternity ari l not reach tlie
limit, the man shuts himself out and dies, a
blind mole under a corn shock. It stops all
investigation.
While each denomination of Christians is
' to present all the truths of tho Bible, it seems
to ine that (Rxl has given to each denomina
tion an e|*ecial mission to give particular
emphasis to someone doctrine; and so the
Calvinistic churches must present the sover
v of God, and the Anplnian churches
must present man's free agency, and the
Episcopal churches must present the inqiort
ance of order and solemn ceremony, and the
Baptist church'* must present the necessity
i*of ordinances, and the Congregational church
i must present the responsibility of the indi
i vidua! nwmlK'r, and the Methodist church
i must show what holy enthusiasm and hearty
congregational singing can accomplish.
While each denomination of Christians must
set forth all the doctrin sof the Bible, 1 feel
i it is especially incumbent upon each denomi
nation to put particular emphasis upon some
©no doctrine.
Another great damage done by the secta-
I nanism and bigotry of the church is that it
i disgusts |>eoplc with the Christian religion.
! Now, my friends, the Church of God was
never intended for a war barrack. People
ore afraid of a riot. You go down the street
and you see an excitement, and missiles .ly
ing through the air, and you hear the shock
of firearms. I>oyou. the peaceful and in
dustrious citizen, go through that street*
“Oh, no!” you will say, “I’ll go around the
' block.” Now, men cornu and look upon this
j narrow path to heaven, and sometimes see
j tho ecclesiastical brickbats living every
j w hither, and they say: “VV ell, I guess I’ll take
! tlie broad road: if it is so rough, and tht*re is
I so muchriiarp shooting on the narrow road, I
guess 1 11 try the broad road.”
j Francis I. so hated the Lutvierans that he
, said if he thought there was one drop of
Lutheran blood in Ids veins he would punc
ture them and let that drop out. .1 ust as long
as there is so much hostility kietween denomi
nation and denoinination, or between one
professed Christian and another, or b' tw n
one church and another, just, so loug men
will be disgusted with the Christian religion
and say: ‘ If that is religion, 1 want none of
it.”
Again, bigotry and sectarianism do great
' damage in tne fact that they hinder tin* tri
i umph of the Gospel. Ob, how much wasted
I ammunition, how many men of splendid in
tellect have given their whole life to contro
versial disputes, when, if they had given
| their life to something practical, they might
have been vastly usetul! Suppose this morn
! ing, while 1 speak, there were a common on
j emy coining up the hay through the Narrows,
and all the l'orts around New York began to
fire into each other you would cry out,
“National suicide! Why don't those forts
blaze away iu one direction, and that against
the common enemy?' And yet I sometimes
see in the church of tlie Lord Jesus Christ a
strange thing going on—church against
eburen, minister against minister, denomina
tion against denomination, firing away into
their own fort, or the fort which ought
to be on the same side, instead of concentrat
ing their energy and giving one mighty and
everlasting volley against the navies of dark
ness riding up through the bay!
I go out sometimes in the summer, and I
find two beehives, and these two hives are in
a quarrel. I come near enough, not to i>e
stung, but I come just near enough to hear
the controversy, and one beehive says : “That
field of clover is the sweetest,” and an
other behive says: “That field of
clover is tho sweetest.” I come in l*>-
tween them, and I say: “Stop this quarrel: if
you like that field of clover best, go there; if
you like that field of clover best, go there;
but let me tell you that that hive which gets
the most honey is the best hive.” Bo l come
out between the churches of the Lord Jesus
Christ. One denomination of Christians
says . “That field of Christian doctrine is
best,” and another says : “ This field of Chris
tian doctrine is best." Well. I say : “Go
where you get tho most honey.” That is tlie
best church which gets the most honey of
Christian grace for the heart, and tin; most
honey of Christian usefulness for the life.
Besides that, if you want to build up any
denomination, you will never build it up ny
trying to pull some other down. Intolerance
never put anything down. How much bus
intolerance accomplished, for instance,
against the Methodist Church' For Jong
years her ministry were forbidden the pul
pits of Great Britain. Why was it that so
many of them preached in the fields! Sim
ply because they could not get into the
churches. And the name of the church was
given in derision and as a sarcasm. The crit
ics of the church -ai I: “They have no order,
they have no met od in* their w irslii n; ’ and
the critics, therefore, in irony called them
“Methodists.”
.. .. u 'i i l sal. ui A -Lou horary. „<• v l'or'i.
kej.>t us curiosities, there are 7t7 books and
pamphlete against Methodism. Did intoler
ance stop that church ' No; it is either first
or second amid the denominations of Chris
tendom, her missionary stations in all parts
of the world, her men not only important in
religious trusts, but important also in
secular trusts. Church marching on, and
the more intolerance against it, the faster it
marches.
What did intolerance a'-complish against
the Baptist Church? If laughing scorn and
tira I- could have destroyed the church it
would not to-day have a dis -iple left.
The Baptists were hurled out of Boston in
the olden times. Those who sympathized
with them were confined,and when a petition
w;i- offered asking leniency in their behalf
ail men who signed it were indicted. Has in
tolerance stopjHjd the Baptise Church* The
last statistics in regard to it showed about
80,000 churches and al>out 2,500,000 communi
cants. Intolerance never put down anything.
In England a law was made against the
Jew England thrust back the Jew and
thrust down the Jew. and declared that no
Jew should hold an official position. What
came of it ' Were the Jews destroyed ? Was
their religion overthrown ' No. Who l*e
came prime minister of England years
ago? Who was tlie next to the throne? Who
was higher than the throne because he was
counselor and adviser? The descendant of a
Jew. What were we celebrating in all our
churches as well as synagogues a few year*
ago? The one hundredth birthday anniver
sary or Monteliore, the great Jewish philan
thropist. Intolerance never yet put down
anything. *
111. But now, my friends, having shown
you the origin of bigotry or sectarianism, and
having shown you the damage it does, 1 want
briefly to show you how we are to war against
thi- terrible evil, and I think we ought to
begin our war by realizing our weakness and
our imperfections. If we make so many
mistakes in the common affairs of life, is iu
not possible that we may make mistakes in
regard to our religious affairs? Shall we
take a man by the throat, or by the collar,
because he cannot see religious truths just as
we do? In the light of eternity it will be
found out, I think, there was something
wrong in all our creeds, and something right
in all our creeds. But since we may make
mistakes in regard to things of the world, do
not let us be egotistic, and so puffed up as to
have an idea that we cannot make any mis
take in regard to religious theories. And
then 1 think we will do a great deal to over
throw the sectarianism from our hearts, and
the sectarianism from the world, by chiefly

1 think we may overthrow the severe sec
tarianism and bigotry in our hearts, and in
the church nl ;o, by realizing that all the de
nominations of < 'hnstians have yields! noble
institute am and noblemen. There ft nothing
that so stirs my soul as this thought. One
denomination yielded Robert Hail and an
AdoniramJndson; another yielded a Lati
mer and a Melville; another yielded John
Wesley and the blessed Bummerfleld, while
our own denomination yielded John Knox
and the Alexander • -men of whom the world
was not worthy. Now. I say, if we are hon
est and fair minded :nn, when we o* ne up.
in the presence of such churchy and such de-‘
nominations, although they may be di**‘rent V
from our own. wt> ou:lit to admire them and
we ought to love and honor them Churches
which can produce such men, and such large
honrted charity, ami such magnificent mar
tyrdom, ought to witi our affection —at any
rote, our inspect. So come on, ye 400,000
Episcopalians in this country, and yo 800,000
Presbyterians, and ye 2,2.7), 000 Baptists, and
ye nearly ..T.vO.(X)d Methodists—<*ome on,
shoulder to shoulder we will march for the
world’s con*juest: for all nations are to bs
hived, and God demands that you and I help
do it. Forward, the whole line.
Moreover, we may also overthrow the feel
ing of severe sectarianism by joining other
denominations in Christian work. I like
when the springtime comes and the anniver
sary occasions begin and all denominations
come up on the same platform. That over
throws sectarianism. In the Young Men’e
Christian ssociation, in the Bible society, in
the Tract society, in the Foreign Missionary
society, shoulder to shoulder all denomina
tions.
Perhaps I might more forcibly illustrate
this truth by calling vour attention to an in
cident which took place fourteen or fifteen
years ago. One Monday morning at about
2 o’clock, while her 900 passengers were sound
asleep in her berths dreaming of home, the
steamer Atlantic crashed into Mars Head.
Five hundred souls in ten minutes landed in
eternity! Oh, what a scene! Agonized mm
and women running up and down the gang
ways and clutching for the rigging, and the
plunge of the helpless steamer, and the clap
ping of the h inds of the merciles sea over
the drowning and the dead, threw two conti
nents into terror. But see this hraee quar
termaster pushing out with the life-line until
he gets to the rock; and see these lishermea
gathering up the shipwrecked and tak
ing them into the cabins and wrapping
them in the flannels snug an 1 warm; and see
that minister of the Gospel with three other
men getting into a lifeboat and pushing out
for the wreck, pulling away across the surf
and pulling away until they save one more
man. and then getting back with him to tbe
shore. Can 1 hose men ever forget that night!
And can they ever forget their companion
ship in peril, companionship in struggle, com
panionship in awful catastrophe and rescue!
Never! Never; In whatever part of the
earth they meet they will bo friends when
they mention the story of that awful night
when the Atlantic struck Mars Head.
Well, my friend, our world has gone inton
worse shipwreck. Bin drove it on the rock*
The old ship has lurched and tossed in the
tempests or six thousand years. Out with the
lifeline! Ido not care what denomination
carries it. Out with the lifeboat! I do not
care what denomination rows it. Side by
side in the memory of copimon hardships,and
common trials, and common prayers, and
common tears, let us be brothers forever.
We must be. We must l*e.

The year before last I had to employ
two plasterers to repair a place in the
wall of a house where a piece of planter
of two feet square had fallen out. The
two artists turned up at 10 a. m., and,
sitting down upon a couple of empty
wine cases, lit their pipes. At about
10:40 a. m. one approached the damaged
place within a yard, took a mental pho
tograph of it, and sat down again. At
11 a. m. a mutual appeared, who
was warmly welcomed, and, after smok
ing a pipe or two, amused them by
standing upon his head, and by that
time they lmd got very hungry, and
made a pause of two hours for tittin.
Pipes again. Then the one who had
sounded the wall knocked another piece
of plaster down. Pipes again. By sp.
m. they had made the hole about three
times it original size, and were so thor
oughly exhausted that they left off.
