A TABEKNACLE BURNED.
IAL’jIAGE’S church destroyed
before daybreak.
T v e Fire Probably Started by Light
ning That Ran Into the Edifice on
an Electric Light Wire—Two Adjoin
ing Dwellings Destroyed—The Loss
Covered by Insurance.
New York, Oct. 13.—The famous Brook-
Ivn Tabernacle, of which Rev. T. DeWitt
Talmage is pastor, was to-day, for the
second time in its history, tot lly destroyed
bv fire. At 2:15 o’clock this morning a
, oiiceman discovered flames issuing
from the small windows over the main
entrance, and, rushing to the nearest
signal box, sent out au alarm. The
firemen found that the fire had
assumed large proportions, and additional
alarms, calling all the available apparatus,
were at once sent in. It became evident
that the edifice was doomed. It burned
like a tinder-box, and the firemen, despair
ing of saving it, directed their efforts to the
adjoining property.
flight of the neighbors.
Many of the occupants of the neighbor
ing dwellings were already awake, and the
police proceeded to arouse those who were
sleeping. The three story frame structure
nt N'o. 353 Schermerhorn street, adjoining
the church on the east, was the first to take
fire, and No. 855, a simi
lar structure, followed. No. 357
was also damaged. On the west side of the
church the flame 9 extended to two brick
dwellings, and on the opposite side of
Schermerhorn street a row of three-story
brick dwellings, numbered 338 to 348, suf
fered from the intense heat. The window
glais in these buildings was broken and the
woodwork scorched.
THE PEOPLE PANIC-STRICKEN.
Tho residents of the neighborhood, awak
ened either by the roar of the flames or by
the pounding of the police upon their doors,
became Lightened and rushed out half
dressed or in their night clothes, and the
police had great difficulty in assuring them
:hat they were in no danger. Fortunately,
there was no loss of life or litnb. The police
carried out one old lady of 80 years from
No. 337 Hchermerhoni street and placed
her iu a house at a safe distance. All the
other inmates were able to care for them
selves.
THE CHURCH TOTALLY DESTROYED.
But while the firemen and police worked
for the salvation of property and persona,
the doomed church building was being
rapidly consumed, and in an hour’s time
o ily the tottering walls remained. Dr.
Valmage was on the scene soon after the
lii-t alarm, aud did not leave until he had
seen the edifice which had been his pride
lad in asr.es. Then he returned sorrow
f lly home. All day to-day crowds visited
the spot and gazed upon the ruins.
ORIGIN OK THE FIRE.
The origin of the fire is unknown. Edi
son's men were in the building until 5:30
o’clock yesterday afternoon arranging a
new electric plant, and it is thought that
during a thunder shower which prevailed
during the night, lightning had been carried
into the building by the wires they
introduced, and which ran around
the gallery about on a level
with where the flames were first
seen. The loss on the church building, in
cluding the organ, which was ore of the
fin, st in the country, is $150,000. It is said
to be covered by insurance in a number of
companies. The looses on the adjoining
property are small.
HARRISON'S MES3AGE.
A New Federal Election Law Not to
be Recommended.
Washington, Oct. 13. —The President
will devote his afternoons for the present to
the preparation of his annual message,
rigidly excluding interrupting callers. His
message is to he a general one, covering all
the executive departments, besides his own
recommendations. Soutneru men who
1 ave talked with him are quoted as saying
that these recommendations will not in
clude a federal new election law. He is said to
believo that this would be futile if passed,
and an attempt to pass it simply a waste of
time. His remedy for the alleged disfran
chisement of the blacks would be the un
seating of representatives in congress
e,ected by such means.
INTERNAL REVENUE TAXES.
He will, it is said, recommend the repeal
ot internal revenue taxes on everything ex
cept intoxicating liquors, aud the enactment
ot some measure like the Senate tariff bill.

SUNDAY AT THE FALLS.
The South Americana Awed by the
Monster Cataract.
Niagara Falls, N. Y., Oct. 13.—When
the members of the all-Americas excursion
gathered about their hotel dinner tables
this afternoon one of the South American
representatives was asked if be had attended
church in the morning.
“No,” he exclaimed, “I did not go to the
church, but I did fear God.”
“We saw the water fall down,” inter
jected another of the South Americans,
“and the place is a great temple, and we
did there worship God.”
These expressions, without doubt, typify
the impressions of the entire party of
strangers. They saw the islands, upper
rapids, the falls from both sides, the whirl
pool and its rapids, and also crept along
beneath the falls in the Maid of the Mist.
THE BOATING EXPERIENCE.
The boating experience was undergone
with some misgivings by certain of the
travelers, and when tho dense spume of the
Horseshoe fall swallowed in the little craft,
there was not a little of apprehensive trem
bling, and there was proportionate relief
when the trip was at an end. The terrific
rush and bruising of the waters in the lower
rapids overawed the impetuous southerners
even, and they wero still and wrapped iu
contemplation of the scene. Some of the for
eigners had seen the fails before. Those
who had not, with almost devout iutentions,
say the memories of the spectacle will never
fade out of their minds.
AN UNPLEASANT DAY.
Those from the torrid belts southward are
suffering from the cold of the sour, leaden
day of autumn. They are bundled in double
flannels and heavy coats, and some wear
mufflers about their necks and ears, the last
named members, in not a few instances,
being plugged with cotton for protection
against neuralgic pains.
After dinner on the American side, the
party was driven to the Canadian side late
in the afternoon, where an informal supper
was tendered them at the Clifton house by
Erastus Wiman.
COMMERCIAL UNION ADVOCATED.
At the close of the supper Mr. Wiman
said that the trade of both countries on
whose border they stood had been restricted
by an arbitrary customs line, which stood
like a barbed-wire fence between business
intercourse with each other. A commercial
union of all the American countries would
be a great thing, and this was the object of
this congress. Senor Guzeman of Nicara
gua said the proper object of tho congress
was to bring all Americans closer together.
Nothing would do more in that line than
the construction of an intoroceauic canal.
CHEERS FOR THE RED FLAG.
Chicago Anarchists Hiss the Stars
and stripes.
Chicago, 111., Oct. 13.—When the stars
and stripes were raised at a socialist mass
meeting in Voerwerts Turner hall this
afternoon the flag was greeted with hisses
by probably half of tho thousand men and
women in the room at the time.
A red flag was then unfurled and
was greeted with enthusiastic applause.
SerguisE. Hhevilich of New York, the first
speaker, declared the hanging of the an
archists the gravest crime ever committed
in America. He was proud of Chicago, as
it would one day be the Paris of America,
a city of revolutions; the smoldering dis
content would soon break forth in fiery
revolutions.
A LUMBER TOWN IN RUINS.
Only a Saw-Mill and a Few Other
Buildings Saved.
Sault Ste Marie, Mich., Oct. 13.
Fire broke out in Cook’s lumber yard at
Serpent River, Ontario, yesterday after
noon, and, fanned by a high wind, soon set
most of the town of forty buildings afire.
Fifty million feet of lumber was consumed.
The loss is estimated at $300,00D. Cook’s
saw-mill and a few other buildings, but no
lumber, were saved. About 200 people are
homeless.
At Frazee City fire last night destroyed
R L. Frazee’s large fl >ur mill and saw
mill. It also burned part of the village.
POLITICIANS SWARM PIERRE.
Moody Almost Sure to be Elected
Senator.
Pierre, S. D.. Oct. 13.—The city is
crowded to overflowing with speculators
and politicians, the former temporarily
giving way to the latter. A majority of the
members of the legislature have already
arrived, and the senatorial fight is warmi g
up. There are four candidates in the field,
Messrs. Moody, Edgerton, Pettigrew and
Wardell. Moody’s election is assured, and
Pettigrew’s chances are regarded as next
best.

LEAPEDFROMTIIKTRACK.
AN EXPRESS WRECKED WHILE
RUNNING 60 MILES AN HOUR.
The Cars Scattered in Every Direc
tion, and a Bridge Just Ahead of
Them—Everybody on Board Badly
Shaken Up, but Only Two Persons
at All Iniured.
Rahway, N. J., Oct. 13.—What was one
of the nearest approaches to a frightful ac
cident in the annals of railroading occurred
here this morning to the fast Philadelphia
express train ou the Pennsylvania railroad
due here at 11:13 o’clock. The train is
made up of two combination parlor cars
and three coaches, and runs at a high rate
of speed. It passed tue main depot here to
day four minutes late, runuing at the rate
of sixty miles an hour.
JUMPED THE TRACK.
The engine, just as it reached the east
end of the long bridge east of Main street,
jumped the track, aud was followed by five
cars. The crash as tho whole train
left the track was terrific, aud
was heard by people at the de
pot, a quarter of a mile west of where the
accident occurred. The train ran along the
ties for 300 feet, when the couplings broke
between the cars, aud each car took a shoot
in a different direction, tearing up the
rails aud ties, and digging into the stone
ballast roadbed.
A COMPLETE WRECK.
There are four tracks at this point, and
the cars were twisted around in such a way
as to completely wreck the roadbed, and
the cars as well. Wi en the cars finally
stopped, the passengers, who were naturally
badly frightened, came out of the wrecked
cars unable to comprehend what had hap
pened.
ONLY TWO PERSONS INJURED.
The most remarkable thing is that, al
though the train was running at sixty miles
per hour, the only persons injured were two
ladies, who were cut by the flying glass.
De Wolf Hopper of McCaull’s Opera Com
pany was a passenger on the train, and
received a severe shaking up, as all of tho
passengers did.
CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT.
The accident was due to the spreading of
the rails, which were new, and, it is said,
had not been properly spiked by the section
men who laid them. Traffic was delayed
all the afternoon, while an army of work
men was 1 usy in building anew roadbed,
tho old one having been torn up for a dis
tance of 500 feet by the derailed train,
FREIGHT TRAINS COLLIDE.
Cincinnati, Oct. 13.—At 9 o’clock last
night at Rapid Run, several miles west of
this city on the Big Four railroad, a west
bound freight collided with the east-bound
wrecking train. Both were going at full
speed. Fireman Edward Morrison of the
wrecking train was instantly killed, and
Fireman Jake Whetstein was badly injured.
DEPARTURE OF THE OZAR.
The Farewell Between the Two Rulers
Very Demonstrative.
Berlin, Oct. 13.—The czar and his son
drove to Charlottenburg this morning and
placed a wreath of laurel and white roses
upon the tomb of the late Emperor Will
iam. Upon their return they attended
service at the embassy chapel. Emperor
William arrived at the embassy
at noon, when he and the czar
drove in state with imposing suites to the
quarters of the Alexander regiment, where
they were entertained at luurhe >n by the
officers of the regiment. Emperor William
offered a toast to the Russian army, and
spoke of their gallantry and the fact that
Russians and Prussians had, in the days of
his grandfather, fought shoulder to
shoulder. The czar replied in German and
toasted “The brave Alexander regiment.”
THE CZAR’S DEPARTURE.
Both sovereigns returned to the Russian
embassy, aud afterwards the czar took leave
of the empress and went to the railway
Btation, where there was a brilliant assem
blage. In taking farewell the two mon
archs repeatedly embraced. The czar was
then taken to Ludwigslust, where he was
met by the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg,
who gave a grand supper lu his honor at
the castle. The station was beautifully
decorated and the streets were filled witu
people, who gave the czar an ovation.
The Journal de St. Petersburg expresses
especial pleasure at the attentions of Prince
Bismarck.
The strictest police measures for the
safety of the czar in this city wore con
tinued throughout the day. All tratfic was
stopped along the route to the railroad sta
tio i, and the time of the departure of the
czar was kept secret.
Minister Phelps at Court.
Berlin, Oct. 13.—Mr. Phelps, the United
States nimster, was presented to the em
press by Count Kuleuberg, after the per
formance at the opera house last Friday

The Czar Wouldn’t Receive Him.
London, Oct. 13.—The Paris correspond

a reliable quarter that Prince Ferdinand of
Bulgaria was induced to go to Munich by
Prince Bismarck, who tried to induce the
czar to receive him, but with ut success.
Dolgorouki Flees to Belgrade.

TOM PLATT AND THE REPORTERS.
He Has Learned the Secret of Popu
larity and is a Friend of the Boys.
(Copyright 1889 i
New York, Oct. 13.—A person entering
the Fifth Avenue hotel, New York city,
almost any night between 8 and 9 o’clock
would be likely to see a tall, hony, but well
proportioned man, with brown beard well
tinged with gray, standing in the co. ridor,
the center of attraction of a group ot good
looking young men. The tall gentleman,
in the most precise and clock-work-like
manner, strokes his beard as ho slowly con
verses. A stranger noticing him would
invariably conclude that his words con
tained muoh wisdom, owing to the eager
manner iu which they are listened to by his
companions.
This gentleman, who is always hand
somely dressed aud presents the appearance
of extreme neatness, is ex (Senator Thomas
C. Platt, the supreme ruler of the repub
lican party of the empire state and the mill
ionaire president of the United States
express compauy. He is as shrewd au or
gauizer of capital as of politicians, and bis
fame as a financier is only exceeded by his
fame as a politician.
The group that surround Mr. Platt of an
evening are principally composed of the re
porters on the daily press. The ex-senator
is iu a fair way of cutting out Chaui.cey
M. Depew and wholesoulod and generous
Cong.essman Roswell P. Flower as a favor
ite with newspaper men. He is to-day tho
most prolific channel of political news in
New York, and once he has confidence in a
reporter he is exceedingly liberal with
political information. Still, Mr. Platt sel
dom allows himself to be quot and.
Wnile always a most courteous gentle
man, it is only within the last two years
the senator has been popular with news
paper men, having hitherto been Inclined to
regard them with suspicion as people good
to avoid. Possibly he learned a lesson
from Col. Dan Lamont, about how to han
dle the representatives of the press and
make them useful allies in his political
career. Anyway, Mr. Platt, like Col. Dau
Lamont, has demonstrated that a politician
is wise to stand in with tho newspapers,
for it is since he has changed Ids tactics that
he has become tue most potent party man
ager since the days of Martin Van Buren,
as was clearly demonstrated by the recent
republican state convention; and by virtue
of a ruler of his party he is one of tue most
potent factors of national politics. Only a
short time ago the newspapers never lost an
opportunity of poking fun at Mr. Platt aud
aousing him, but now those of b >th politi
cal parties are sounding his praise
as a political genius, and the news
columns are always favorable to Mr.
Platt although the editorials may uot be to
bis liking. All the political writers of the
city consider thefnselves personal friends of
Mr. Platt, for he treats them os such, and
having a fine instinct for what is culled
news, he nuts considerable money iu their
pockets. W hen a reporter goes to Mr. Piatt
for nows he don’t wish to have made public,
instead of denying it or refusing to talk, ue
tells all be knows in the most unreserved
way, but iu such a maimer mat, to publish
it would be a violation of confidence.
The ex-senator is now in a position to
say: “As I.influence the news columns of
New York newspapers regarding political
matters, I don’t care who writes editorials.”
Mr. Platt could boycott any reporter who
writes on politics and thereby ruin his influ
ence. I knew a case ia point some time ago.
Mr. Platt had been very kind in giviug a
young man considerable news wnicti en
abled him to make a good bit of money.
He gave him au interview that
the young man regarded as a per
sonal favor, for Mr. Platt had gone
to considerable inconvenience in the
matter. The interview appeared in print
the n xt day under head lines that were
very uncomplimentary and, to say the
least, very discourteous to Mr. Platt. It
called him “Tom,” aud referred to him in
other undignified ways. Mr. Platt was,
very naturally, offended, and, not knowing
that the headlines were written by the
editor instead of the reporter, he boycotted
the young man by uot giving him any
more uowb, and the result was that the
paper had to put somebody else iu his place
who would meet with Mr. Platt's favor.
Is there another politician in the country
able to control newspaper men to such au
extent?
Mr. and Mrs. Platt live very quietly in a
suite of rooms at the Fifth Avenue notel.
Mr. Piatt usually leaves the hotel promptly
at 9 o’c.ock logo to his office down town, aud
returus again at 5 o’clock. He is president of
several organizations besides his express
company, and, as his office is al ways lull
of political callers, it is a mystery how he
accomplishes so much work. He is a man
of tire,ee energy, quick and wiry, and
when he returns to his hotel there are
crowds of politicians waiting to talk to
him, so that between them aud the hour
that he gives every night to the newspaper
men, there is but little time which fie can
call his own. For the lost six months the
ex-senator has been the m.st sought after
of any man in New York.
There are few more devoted couples than
the ex-seuui.or and Mrs. Piatt, ju s. Piatt
reminds one somewhat of Mrs. John A.
Logan, and, Uko Mrs. Logan, she takes a
great interest in politics. Her husband has
great confidence in her judgment in polit
ical matters. About Mr. Plate’s 'only
amusement is the theater. He aud his wile
are inveterate theater-goers. Mrs. Piatt ib
an amateur artist of considerable morlt.
She is also a charming entertainer, and
those who know her say tnat she would
make a very popular mistress of the white
house. Harry Walker.
PENSION POSSIBILITIES.
A New Candidate in the Field, but Maj.
Poole Still Leads.
Washington, Oct. 13.—The latest report
concerning the appointment of a successor
to Corporal Tanner as commissioner of pen
sions is that ex-Congressman Btoele of
Indiana is to be called to the front. The
rumor probably arose from the fact that
Steele is in the city. It can hardly be true
that Harrison contemplates bestowing an
other office upon an Indiana raau. In fact,
a gentleman who talked with the President
a day or two ago on the subject of tho pen
sion comniissionership says tnat the success
ful candidate must come from a section of
the country remote from Ho sierdom. The
President fully realizes the fact that rela
tives of the family and citizens of too
presidential state have hail about all that
belongs to them, and that hereafter outside
states must be given a chance.

Washington, Oct. 13.— The annual re

general of the mr.ri .e hospital service,
shows that the work of the service is steadily
increasing. During the fiscal ye.r ended
Jnr.o 30 last 50,000 seamen were treated, or
1,000 more than in any year since the
establishment of the service.
Students of yellow fever and those inter

New York, Oct 12.—Now that the

modestly expressing our opinion as to the

Taking everything into consideration, it
must be conceded that our team overcame
more obstacles than any team of pennant
winners ever did since the organization of

were all iu the pink of condition, ready for
the coming fray,and all working like trained
veterans under the able captaincy of M. J.
Kelly.
When the close observer sums the entire
matter up he must concede that they wore a
formidable organization, and, further, that
they were favored by everything, with
nothing to retard them. The result has
proven this estimate to be true, and that we
had a most despot ate struggle to succeed at
the end.
There was little, if anything, of that kind
to favor us in the early part of the season,
at least. Several of our men had not agreed
upon terms with Mr. Day, while tho polo
grounds were also in dispute. The effect of
such an unsettled state of affairs was de
pressing in the extreme on the team in
general.
The season opened, for want of better
grounds, over in Jersey City. Fromtheie
we were soon aftorward transferred to
Staten Island. There the weat her was so cool
that every man in the team fell off iu play
ing. Tho crowds were very light and there
was little or no enthusiasm, making on the
whole a most dismal affair of the proceed
ings from the start.
It was some tune alter the season began,
in faot it was well on its way, before Keefe
was signed. When be did begin work he
was far from being in true f rra, as lie
would have been had he taken part in the
preliminary games. We wore, for a time,
virtually without pitchers, Kwlng and
Hatfield being obliged to go into the box,
owing to the disability of Crane and Welch.
All these clrcum dances tended to put the
team behind, while Boston was playing
successful ball, putting game after gome to
their record and getting a lead which
almost made thorn pennant winners.
The change in the fortunes of our team
came about the time wo purchased the re
lease of O’Day from Washington. This
young pitcher started iu at onoe to do some
great twirling, and proved a valuable man,
as the record now shows. As soon as wo
got within hailing distance of the Bostons,
they appeared to halt in their onward
march; but it was not a breakdown, as
manv imaginod at the time, for they soon
picked up and made a magnificent battle to
the very end.
The one particular point whero we were
stronger than Boston was in pitchers.
When the season got well under way, our
pitchers were practically invincible. With
four such men as Keefe, Welch, O’Day, and
Craue, to do the pitching, and E iug be
hind the bat, we were al ways able to put a
battery of the strongest kind in the field.
We ail agree that the idea which dom
inated every man—that we wore able and
c ipable of winning the championship, and,
furthermore, that we would surely do so—
bod more to do with our victory than a iy
tbing else. It was that firm belief which
stood us in good stead, when others might
have quailed at the task before them. The
Knat point of harmony should not be over
lied.
Every man on tbe team was iu perfect
accord with bis fellows. We all wanted j
tbe pennant, were resolved to do or il.e in
tbe attempt to wlu it, and, firmly believing ;
that as a whole there was no other oi gauiz.i j
Uost in the country able to oope with us, i
there was infused into every rusu a degree j
of confidence which the severest reverse
could not shako.
It was said that we wore over-confi ienf,
and lost games on that account. While thr.t
might have boon part ially true at tho outset,
it soon gave way to downright bones: work,
of a kind that had it- effect. Over-c nfi
denee may have beli ed to lose a game or
two, but the confidence we had in ourselves
won the championship
Theefl'eotof ha l moujeus teun work was
never shown to batter advantage. T ere
was no record playing ainoug us, each man
l-eing t o desirous of success to ta e a
single chance. It was this strong, steady
and machiiis-like work of the men which
often struck terror into the hoarts of our
opponents. Kverv ball player knows how
honest work by tho entile club will result.
It will win ugainst anythi g and every
thing! There was no combination of stars,
each endeavoring to outshine the other, but
a resolute set of men, with only one object
iu view.
J bat such wai the case a glance at the
official record will soon prove. W die ot her
clubs have men at the top in their various
fielding positions, the New Yorks have none.
It was the deteruiina ion to go fter every
thing at any sacrifice which pulled down
the averages, but won vie,ones. It made no
uiff. ronce whether a man was m the out or
iii field, he made at. least an effort to get
every bull; and, though it fell to another,
he, having iu iniml the proper play to be
made, was a: once in a position to assist or
support the fielders.
Our team never allowed themselves to get
‘‘rattled.” Steady play was tho thing, and,
knowing that, the one thought uppermost
iu nil minds was to hold steady and true,
rather than countenance brilliaut displays
of aotmructer which, while sure to bring
forth applaudits, does much to uusettle the
men iu a general way. To the captaincy of
Ewing too much credit for such a state of
uniformity in play cannot be awarded. He
certainly possesses tho happy combina
tion of being a natural leader of men,
together wi h a knowledge of every
point in base bull, and ail aptness to
seize upon an essential move and turn it to
tiie best advantage for his own men, which
makes him especially fitted for such an im
portant position. It is seldom that a man
in that position lias the respect, confidence
and i egards of his men to the degree that
Fwiug lias. With him behind the but
there was a certain feeling of unooucorn
regarding tho result. W e all believed that
victory was sure. It must be considered
that lie was catching difficult piteners
noariy every day, a feat no other man iu
the league attempted.
Had it not been for our batting there
would not he a semblance of a pennant to
flv from the polo grounds flag staff uext
season. There was a mutual desire to aid
one another in that respeot, which had its
effect iu puttiug so many of the New Yorks
near the top with their records. Quiet
talks among ourselves regarding the pecu
liarities of and ffere it pitchers and undaunted
confidence braced up the boys in common.
In a close game thei was a general and
stereotyped command along the line to
“line ’om out,” which demoralized many an
opposing pitcher just on theevoof viotory by
the succession of safe liita whicu followed.
It was the same old policy which we always
followed, never to quail even fora moment.
Tills steady nerve of the team has brought
out so niauy compliments on all sides os to
embarrass us somewhat. In One respeot we
feel that wo are highly favored. That is as
to the management. No other man in the
league is like President John B. Day. Ho
is away and above any other man in tlie
business. T ere is something so hlghminrlod
and honorable about Mr. Day that his very
name is revered by us. Ho was so uno m
plaiuing in tho face of disaster, always the
soul of good nature, and so generous under
any and all circumstances that,
if only to please him, we
would have stood anything sooner than let
Boston boat us. And Mr. Day has a worthy
aid in Manager James Mutrie. It was
Mutrio who got the men together, who was
with us daily, saw that everything was as
we desired, and made tho club something
in tbe line of a nappy family. No wonder,
then, that we fought like demons at Cleve
land, and no wonder that we went without
sleep of any consequence for the throe last
da) 8 of tho wees, so great was our anxiety
to win, when we were doing battle for such
men.
These, in brief, are the principal reasons
for our victory in the pennant race.

Brooklyn, Oct. 13,-Although Dr.

The subject of the sermon was “The Sav

“Looking unto Jesus." Dr. Talmage said;
In the Christian life we must not go slip

right to be off duty. Paul throws all around
Uns curistiau lif3 the excitements of tae old
Runai aud Grecian games—those game*
that sent a man on a race with such a
stretch of nerve and muscle that sometimea
when he came up to the goal he drooped
down exhausted. Indeed, history tells US
that there were cases wuere men came up
and only had strength just to grasp the
ftnd then fail (lead. Now, says this
apostle, making allusion to those very
games, wo are all to run the race not to
orawl it. not to walk it-but “run the race
sot before u<, looking unto Jesus;” and jus*
as lu the olden times, a man would stand at
the end of tbe road with a beautiful gar
land that was to be put arouuii the need or
brow of tlie successful racer, so the Lord
Jesus Christ stands at the end of the
Christian race with the garland of eternal
life, aud may God grant that by nia holy
spirit we may so run as to obtain.
Tho distinguished Wellistou, the chemist,
was asked where his laboratory was and
the inquirers ox nee ted to be shown some
large apartment filled with very expensive
apparatus; but Welliston ordered his serv
ant to bring on a tray a few glasses and a
retort, and he said to the inquirers: “That
is all my laboratory. I make ali my exper
iments with those.” Now, I know that there
are a great many who take a whole library
to express tlieii theology. They have so,
many t eorles on ten thousand things; but
l have to say that ali my theology is oom
passed in these words: “Looking unto I
Jesus,” and when wo can understand the
bight and the depth aud the length and tho
breadth and the infinity and the immensity
of that passage we can understand all. !
I remark in the first place, we must looks
to Christ as our personal Savior. Now]
you koow as well as I that man is only J
blasted ruin of what he once was. There LM

man as be came from the hands oft
God, equipped for a grand and gloriou*
voyage, but afterward, through the pilo age
of the devil, tossed and driven and crushed,,
the coast of the near future strewn with thal
fragments of an awful and eternal ship
wreck. Our body is wrong. How easily i* 1
is ransacked of disease. Our mud is
wrong. How hard it is to remember, and
how easy to forget. The whole nature diss
ordered, from tlie crown of ttie head to the
sole of the foot—wounds, bruises, putre—
fving sores. “All have sinned arid come
short of the glory of God.” “By one man.:
sin entered into the world, aud death by
sin, and so death has passed upon all men
for that all have sinned.” There is in Brazil]
a plant they call tie “murderer,” for the
simple reason that it is so poisonous it kill*
almost everything it touches. It begins to
wind around the root of the tree, and com
ing up to the branches r-achus out to the
ends of the tranche*, killing the tree as it
goes along. When it lias come to the tip
end of the branch the tree is dead. It*
seeds fall to tbe ground and start other
plants just as murderous.
And so it is with sin. It is a poionou*
plant that was planted in our soul a lung
while ago, and it comes winding about the
body and the miud and the soul, poiioning,
poison 1 g, poisoning- killing, killing, kfil
l! gas it goes. Now, there would be no
need of my discoursing upon this if there
were no way of pluokmg out that pla it. It
is a most inconsiderate thing for me to
come to a man who is in financial trouole
aid enlarge uin his trouble if I have no
alleviation to offer. It is an unfair thing
for tne to come to a man who is sick ana
enlarge upon his disease if I have no
remedy to offer. But I have a right
to come to a man iu financial distress or
physical distress if I have financial re
enforcement to offer or a sure cure to pro
pose. Blessed be God that am mg the
mountains of our sin there rolls aud re
verberates a song of salvation. Louder
than all the voices of bondage is the trumpet
of God’s deliverance, sounding: “O, Israel,
thou hast destroyed thyself, but in me is
thy help.” At the barred gates of our
dungeon, the conqueror knocks aid the
hinges creak aud grind at the swing

tbe manna that falls in the wilderness
and the floods clap their hands, sayings
“Drink, O thirsty soul, and live for
ever!” and the feet that were torn and
deep cut on the rocky bri lie path of sin now
come into a smooth place, and the dry alders
crackle os the panting heart breaks through
to the water brooks, and tbe dark night of
the soul begins to grow gray with the morn
ing, yea to purpNß yea to name, from hori
zon to horizon. The batteries of temptation
siiunoed. Troubles that fought ag lust u*
captured and mauo to fight on our side.
Not as a result of any toil or trouble on our
part, but only as a result of “Looking
unto Jesus." “But what do you mean
by ‘Looking unto Jesus’?” someone in
quires. I mean faith. “What do you mean
by faith?” Imoiii believing. “What do
you n.ean by believing?” 1 mean this: If
you promise to do a curtain thing tor me,
ami I have confidence iu your ve acity—if
you say you will give ine such a thing aud I
need it very much, I come in confidence
that you are an honest man and will do
what you say. Now, the Lara Jesus
(Jurist says: “You are iu need of
pardon and life aud heaven; you
can have them if you come and get them.”
You say: “I can’t come and ask first.
I am afraid you wont give it to me.” Then
you are unbelieving. But you ta}~; “I will
come and ask. I know, Lord Jesus, thou
art iu earnest about this matter. I oome
a king for pardon, i’ll u hast promised to
give it to me, thou wilt give it to tne. thou
hast given it to me.” That is faith. Do
you sea it yet? “O.” says tome one, *T
can’t understand it." No man ever did,
without divine help. Faith is the gift of
God. You say: “That throws the responsi
