THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1887.
A WONDERFUL BOY PREACHER
Pascal Porter, of Indiana, the Mar
vel or All Who Hear Him.
IF. H. Smith in Indianapolis News.
Is it simply a wonderful feat of memor
izing oris it inspiration? is the question
every one who has heard Pascal Porter, the
boy preacher, is asking. This prodigy is a
product of Jefferson county, and is not 11
years old When not in the pulpit he is the
most ordinary of ordinary boys, possessing
nothing that would distinguish him from
hundred of other boys seeu throughout the
country. In fact,’ the cursory observer
would place him below the average of In
diana boys. While in a state of repose he is
listless, with dulJ-looking eyes and express
ionless countenance. He walks with an awk
ward, shambling gait, not appearing to no
tice those things which generally attract the
attention of boys of his age. Placed with
any dozen boys of bis neighborhood, and he
would be chosen out as the stupid one of the
lot. Yet this awkward country boy, with
his shambling gait, listless air and dull
look, is one of the wonders of this century.
He is a preacher, and the leading preacher
of his peculiar sect, and if his sermons are
his own production, he is the leading
preacher in Indiana, of any denomination,
lie is a lecturer, and, if* his lectures are
original, he is far ahead of any man who is
now on the platform in this country. This
may sound like rhapsody, but it is the ver
dict of every one who has heard him. He is
a plain country boy, with tittie or no educa
tion, and yet in hisserinous and lectures he
uses language equal to the most polished
and cu.tured of the present day. His
thoughts are those of a strong mid original
thinker, and his words are well chosen a &
those of all others that ought to have been
used, expressing bis thoughts clearly and
strongly. His sermons are logical in their
arrangement, and show a wonderful and
most intimate acquaintance with the Holy
Scriptures.
Not only do his sermons display an inti
mate acquaintance with the Bible, but with
current history, and he takes up and applies
current, events 10 elucidate and make plain
his topic and enforce liis teachings. Nor
is this all. They display a most remark
able comprehension of the Scriptures. When
he states a proposition he backs it up and
enforces it with quotations fro 1 the Bih.e
that are exceedingly well chosen for the pur
pose.
As I said, out of the pulpit he is the most
ordinary of boj-s, but when he enter' the
sacred desk a trauformation takes place.
His face lights up and fairly glo.vs. His
dull eyes fairly sparkle with enthusiasm and
intelligence. His awkward and shuffling
manner leaves him, and he is anew creature.
When he prays it is with a simple, childlike
earnestness and deep pathos that melt ail
hearts. He prays as if he were askfng favors
from one with whom he was on terms of
familiar and loving intercourse His God is
one who is not afar off, but who is very
near, and in whose love he has the suprem
est confidence. Hence he prays to Hun as
such. His prayers, if uttered in one or our
city pulpits, would give the hearers new
ideas of what the Saviour meant when he
spoke of those who should worship
him in the spirit. He announces his text in
the same earnest without any
apologies or attempts to show off, proceeds
at once to elucidate his text. He preaches
from his text, and in thisdiffers from most
of the preachers of the present day, for their
texts are never heard of after the reading
of them. In many cases any verse in the
Bible would have suited their sermon as
well as the text they announced, but it is
not so with this boy preacher. His text fur
nishes the ground work and foundation of
his discourses.
He belongs to that peculiar sect inown as
“Soul Sleepers.” The doctrine that at the
death of tlie body the soul went into sleep
and remaiued in that condition uutil the
Anal resurrection, when it would be united
with the body, obtained an early foothold
among the followers of Christ, and num
bered among them many earnest advocates.
At one time ics truth was affirmed from tho
Vatican, and occupied the attention ot more
than one of the great councils of the early
church. It has but few adherents in this
country, and I know of no place where a
church organization is maintained but in
Jefferson county, in this State, although
there are several who preach the belief. Oi
the church in Jefferson county Pascal Por
ter is the pastor, or preacher. His wonder
ful performances are attracting tho atten
tion of the people in other States. I re
cently received a letter from New Hamp
shire asiiing for information concerning
him and the doctrines he preaches. As far
as I have heard, he is not much given to
preaching doctrinal sermons, but preaches
just such sermons as would accomplish
the work in which Moody and other
evangelists are engaged in. One thing
is certain —there is not a preacher in In
dianapolis who would not gladly father his
sermons.
He iias receutly delivered two lectures in
Madison before large and cultivated audi
ences—one on tenij'evance and the other on
the history and character of the Jew sh race
—that were marvels, and won the unbound
ed applause of the audiences. I.ike his ser
mons. the lectures were models of style,
diction and eloquence, while that on the
Jewish race displayed an erudition that as
tonished every one. As said before, the
language he uses is that of one who has
thought long and well, and who has had the
aid of scholastic training and extensive
reading. Now, where does this boy get all
this? He has had uo education, and has had
no opportunity for extensive reading. In
fact, his chances for information from read
ing have been very limited. Are the ser
mons and lectures his, or are they the pro
duction of some mature and magnificently
developed mind, committed to memory by
him? It is a puzzling question. In their
delivery there are no evidences of memoriz
ing. There is nothing mochanietd about the
delivery, as may be seen in lengthy recita
tion by even the best elocutio: lists.
There is no pausing and hunt
ing around for a“cue word.” Thei-e
are no repetitions or skins, but the whole is
s|>oken deliberately and without any seem
ing straining, but as if the hoy compre
hended the full meaning of all the words he
uses and the thoughts to which he gives
utterance. If they are memorized, the boy
is still a prodigy, for there is not another one
of his years, and with os little training as he
has had, who can, week after week, commit
to memory and recite as perfectly such long
discourses. If they are committed, the
words and ideas must many times be beyond
his comprehension, and any one who has
ever tried the experiment knows how hard
it is to commit, and recite a thing they do
not understand. If they are original, they
are nothing short of inspiration. One thing
is certain, they are not part original anti
;tart committed, lor the original wou.d show
iess thought and less pure diction than the
part committed, yet no such breaks are \
found in his sermons or lectures. He is
modest and backward, yet the largest audi
ence, even of strangers, does not embarrass
him. Taken in any way, Pascal Porter is a
marvel—a puzzle.

phia doctor and a chance patient. He
said:
“A ranchman came along on his way to
Rawlins for ft doctor to see his daughter,
who appeared to have lieen suddenly afflict
ed by some pe ftiliar disease, the cause and
nuture of which puzzled and alarmed the
family, who were evidently simple and well
moauiug but ignorant people. Seeing such
an unusual stir about separation and so
many men there he stoppoa and asked if any
among ns was a physician Dr. French of
Philadelphia was there and volunteered to
accompany the mail, so be climtied into the
buckboarJ and the mules were turned ranch
ward again.
‘‘Several hours later the doctor, who was a
great believer in the efficacy of electricity
asa medical agent, returned and described
the case to us.
“The girl, who was about 17 years old
and very beautiful in a rude sort of way,
had been standing at a sink washing dishes,
when she had suddenly leaned forward and
remained so, in a kind of cataleptic condi
tion until her mother came to her, probably
an hour later.
“She lutd seemed all right afterward and
could not explain exactly how she had been
seized. Afterward, another day, the same
thing lmd occurred, as she stood hanging
out clothes. She had remained with her arms
uplifted, in one position, till she had been
brought away and aroused. But the oeca
sion which had most seriously alarmed
them, aaid which had caused the father
to bring a phvsician. was that she hnd
lain down, and been found in this stupid
condition, from which they had failed to
arouse her.
“Dr. French had worked over her an
hour and a half before she recovered the
possession of consciousness. But he
asserted if he had had a medical electrical
battery he could have restored her immedi
ately. '
“At this Eilison become quite excited
and declared if he could get some o'd cells
and a coil from the operator he could pro
vide the necessary current. So Ed son
rigged up a rjffe kind of battery and
went down with French to operate on
the girl the next time she had one of her at
tacks,
“One of the whims of the girl was, when
etnerg.ng front her cataleptic state, to grasp
whatever was nearest he , so as Edisou bap
liened to lie there with the sponge on the
back of her ueek treating her to a dose of
electricity, she took fast hold of him. Tho
father saw this and supposed the girl to lie
in love with the elec rician. He and the
mother talked the matter over, and came to
to the conclusion that the electrical appli
ance was a sort of infernal machine or n.iil
ter by which this stranger was winning the
affections of the girl.
“ ‘Soo here, stranger,’ sad the man to
Edison, ‘if you mean business all right.’
Edison bowed very gravely, hearing not a
word. ‘Cure <he girl up and you can marry
her. There’s fifty head o’ cattle you can run
off and sell if you want to,as you look mighty
seedy yourself. I don’t suppose you’re worth
a dime, air ye?’ Edison seeming to under
stand that a negative was required, shook
uis head at this.
“ ‘I thought so; just what I told my wom
an. But that gal’s the apple o’ my eye,
and if she hankers arter ye she’s goin’ to
have ye; and some of’ them men who
seem to rather like ye if you air a poor
cuss can witness the thing and bring down
a Justice.’
“Again Edison bowed.
“French then thought it was about time
an end was put to the business and hurried
the telephone man off to Separation, and the
rest of us went down and explained the
situ ition to the ranchman, telling him that
Edison was deaf and a lunatic, and knew
absolutely nothing except a little about elec
tricity, which he could show the mother
how to apply to the girl in case of a re
newal of the attack, which, however,
s -emed doubtful, a-, the disease had so
swiitly succumbed to the strong measures
used
“We all chipped in and made up a purse
for the girl, Edison heading the list with a
big su ii.
“The girl married the next year, I found
afterward, and is as buxom a woman as
you’d wish to s e.”
HANGED IN CANADA.
Remarkable Inc de it at an Execution
Which Took place Many Years Ago.
From the .Veic York Commercial Advertiser.
I was born in Moutreal and was about 7
years old when the French Canadian rebel
lion broke out. Three of tho i ebels were
caught, tried, and sentenced to bo hanged.
One of th. m was Jules Delacroix, an old
man of 60, who occasionally did a hit of
work for inv father. Jules had lost his right
hand in some manner years before I knew
him; it was cut off at the wrist, leaving a
smooth round stump. I was present with
the crowd on the day of the execution of
the three men who were to lie hanged to
gether on the same gibbet, feeling a sort of
proprietary interest in the whole affair on
the strength of my acquaintance with
Jules. The gibbet was mad ■of two heavy
uprights, with a wide stringpiece across ttie
top, over which the three ropes were thrown,
for in those times they simply fastened the
noose around a mail s neck and pulled h.m
up by hand and let him strangle to death,
as they do at a western lynching now. Oi.e
end of the gibbet was close to and nearly on
a level with a shed on which 1 had taken
my stand to witness the execution. Well,
just as the soldiers were about to pull up
the victims a boyish freak possessed me,
and I climbed out on the stringpiece, lying
flat on my face, and crawled out to the first
rope just as the victims were pulled up. I
happened to bo directly over Delacroix. As
the rope was pulled tip came the writhing
body of |K>or Jules till he almost touched the
beam above him, on which I cro ched. They
had tied his arms behind him, but in hi-,
death struggle he managed to pull the stump
from its fastening, and, as he found it loose,
threw it up and over the beam, and with
desp rate strength drew himself up, thus
slacking the i oik*, about his neck. I was
looking down into his ghastly face, which
was so c.ose that I could have touched hint
with my hand. His wild, bloodshot eyes
looked straight into mine with a pitiful,
beseeching glance that haunts uie to t is
day. “Ah, mon Dieu! mon Dieu!” lie
gaped, as a British soldier caught him by
the feet an 1 gave him n pull, his handles*
stump lost its hold on the crosspiece, and
the poor wretch fell hack to his dentil. No;
I never t ink of a man’s hanging but I
recollect those wild, staring eyes, and honr
the gasping supplication; “Mon Dteul mon
Dieu;”
“Close the door gently.
And bridle the breath:
I’ve one of my headaches—
I’m sick unto death.”
“Take ‘Purgative Pellets,'
They’re pleasant and sure;
I've some in my pocket,
I'll warrant to cure."

are both preventive and curative.
