place, I remark that the
^ IjT Shepherd will find many of His
eep among the nonchnrohgoers. There are
congregations where they ara all Christians,
and they seem to be completely finished, and
tlmy remind one of the skeleton leaves which
■by chemical preparation have had all the
greenness and verdure taken off them and
are left cold and whito.and delicate, nothing
wanting but a glass case to put over
them. The minister of Christ mi3 noth
ing to do with such Christians but to
come once a week and with ostrich
feather dust off the accumulation of the
last six days, leaving them bright and
Crystalline as before. But the othor kind of
a church is an armory, with perpetual sound
of drum aad fife, gathering rearm ‘s for the
Lord of Hosts. We say to every applicant:
“Do you want to be on God’s side—the safe
aide and the happy aids? If so, come in the
armory and get equipped. Hero is a bath in
which to be cleansed. Here are sandals to
put upon your feet. Here is a iblmet for
your brow. Here Ls a breastplate for your
heart. Here is a sword for your right arm,
and yonder is the battlefield. Quit your-
B0';ves like men.”
There are some here who say, “I stopped
going to church ten or twenty years ago.”
&y brother, is it not strange that you should
"be the first man I should talk to to-day? I
know all your case. I know it very well. You
have not been accustomed to come into relig
ious assemblage, but I have a surprising an
nouncement to make to you—you are going
to become one of the Lord’s sheep. “Ah,”
you say, “it is impossible. You don't know
how far I am from anything of that kind.” I
know all about it. X have wandered up and
down the world, and I understand your case.
1 have a still more startling announcement
to make in regard to you—you are not only
going to become one of the Lord’s sheep, but
you will become one to-day. You will stay
after this service to be talked with about your
soul. People of God, pray for that man.
That is the only use for you hare. I shall not
break off so much as a crumb for you. Chris
tians, in this sermon, for I am going to give
it all to the outsiders. “Ot.hsr sheep I have
which are not of this fold.”
When the Atlantic went to pieces on Mars’
rook, and the people olambered upon the
beach, why did not that heroic minister of
the gospel of whom we have all read sit down
and take care of those men on the boaoh,
Wrapping them in flannels, kindling firs for
them, seeing that they got plenty of food?
•All, he knew that there were others who
would do that. He says: “Yonder are men
and women freezing in the rigging of that
wreck. Boys, launch the boat.” And now
‘I see the oar blades bond under the strong
puli, but before they reached the rigging a
woman was frozen und dead. 8he was
washed off, poor thing. But he says, “There
is a man to save.” and he cries out: “Hold
on five minutes longer, and I will save you.
Steady; steady. Give me you hand. Leap
Into the lifeDoat. Thank God, he is saved!”
So there are those hero to-day who are
safe on the shore of God’s mercy. X will not
spend any time with them at all, but X see
there are some who are freezing in the rig
ging of sin and surrounded by perilous
storms. Pull away, my lads! Let us reach
them. Alas, one is washed off and gone.
There is one more to be saved. Let us push
out for that one. Clutch the rope. Oh,
dying man, clutch it as with a death grip.
Steady, now. on tli9 slippery places. Steady.
There—saved, saved! Just as I thought.
For Christ has declared that there are some
still in the breakers who shall come ashore.
“Other sheen I have which are not of this
fold."
Christ commands His ministers to be fish
ermen, and when I go fishing I do not want
to go among other churches, but into the
wide world? not sitting along Hohokus
creek, where eight or ton other persons are
sitting with hook and line, but. like the fish
ermen of Newfoundland, sailing off and
dropping not away outside, forty or fifty
miles from shore. Yes, there are nonohnreh-
goers here who will come in. Next Sabbath
they will be hero again or in some better
church. They are this moment being swept
into Christian associations. Their voice will
be heard in public prayer. They will die in
'peace, than bed "surrounded by Christian
sympathies and to he carried out by devout
men to be buried, and on their graves be
dusted the words, “Precious in the sight ol
the Lord is the death of His saints.” And on
resurrection day you will get up with the
dear children you have already buried and

ious history begins this hour. “Other sheep
i have which are not of this fold.”
I remark again, the Heavenly Shepherd is
going to find a great many of His sheep
among those who are positive rejectors of
Christianity. I do not know how you came
to reject Christianity. It may have been
through hearing Theodore Parker preach, or
through reading Renan’s “Life of Jesus,” or
through the infidel talk of some young man
In your store. It may have been through the
trickery of some professed Christian man
who disgusted you with religion. I do not
ask you how you became so, but you
frankly tell me that you do reject
it. You do not believe that Christ is
a divine being, although you admit
that He was a very good man. You do
not believe that the Bible was inspired of
God, although you think there are some
very fine things in it. You believe that the
Scriptural description of Eden was only an
allegory. There are fifty things that I be
lieve that you do not believe. And yet you
are an accommodating man. Everybody
that knows you says that of you. If I should
ask you to do a kindness for me, or if any
one else should ask or you a kindness, you
would do it. Now, I have a kindness to ask
of you to-day. It is something that will cost
you nothing and will give me great delight.
I want you by experiment to try the power of
Christ's religion. If I should comp to you,
and you were very sick, and doctors had
given you up and said there was no ohanee
for you, and I should take out a bottle and
o not
with your
ord to die In that
15 can you? If you do not
~rinvr)i-;ng else, you believe in love
. _ father's love, a mother’s love, a wife’s
love, a ohild’s love. Then let me tell you
that God loves you more than them all. Ob,
you must come in. You will come in l The
great heart of Christ aohes to have you come
in. and Jesus this very moment—whether
you sit or stand—looks into your eyes and
says, “Other sheep I have which are not of
this fold.”
Again I remark that the Heavenly Shep
herd 13 going to find a great ifiany sheep
among those who have been flung of evil
habits. It makes me sad to see Christian
people give up a prodigal as lost. There are
those who talk as though the grace of God
were a chain of forty or fifty links, and after
they had run out there was nothing to touch
the'depth of a very bad case. If they were
hunting and got off the track of the deer,
they would look longer among the brakes
and bushes for the lost game than they have
been looking for that lost soul. People tell
us that if a man have delirium tremens twice
he cannot be reclaimed; that after a woman
has sacrificed her integrity she cannot be re
stored. The Bible has distinctly intimated
that the Lord Almighty is ready to pardon
490 times—that is seventy times seven. There
are men before the throne of God who have
wallowed in every kind of sin. but saved by
the grace of Jesus and washed in Hi* blood
they stand there radiant now. Thsre are
tnj-e who plunged into the very lowest of
all the hells in New York who have for the
tenth time been lifted up, and finally, by the
grace of God, they stand in heaven glor
iously rescued by the grace promised to the
chief of sinners. I want to tell you that God
loves to take hold of a very bad case. When
the church casts you off, and when the club-
room casts you off, and when society casts
you off, and when business associates casts
you off, and when father casts you off, and
when mother casts you off, and when every
body casts you off, your first cry forhelp will
bend the eternal God clear down into the
ditch of your suffering aud shame.
The Good Templars cannot save you, al
though they are a grand institution. The
Sons of Temperance cannot save you, al
though they are mighty for good. Signing
the temperance pledge cannot save you,
although X believe in it. Nothing but the
grace of the eternal God can save you, and
that will if you will throw yourself on it.
There is a mau in this house who said to me:
“Unless God helps me I eannet be delivered.
I have tried everything, sir, but now I have
got in the habit of prayer, and when I come
to a drinking saloon I pray that God will take
me safe past, and I pray until I am past. He
does help me.” For every man given to
strong drink there are scores of traps set.and
tvhenhe goes out on business to-morrow he
will be in infinite peri!, and no one but the
everywhere present God can see that man
through. Oh, they talk about the catacombs
of Naples, and the catacombs of Rome, aud
the catacombs of Egypt—the burial place;
under the city where the dust of a great mul
titude lies—but I tell you New York has its
cataoombs, and Boston its catacombs, aad
Philadelphia its catacombs. They are the on-
derground restaurants, full of dead men’s
bone3 aad ail uncleanliness. Young man, you
know it. God help you. There is no need of
going into the art gallery to see in the skill-
fui sculpture that wonderful representation
of a man and his sons wound around with
serpents. There are families represented in
this house that are wrapped in the martyrdom
of fang and scale and venom—a ^ living
Laoeoon of ghastliness and horror. What are
you to do? I am not speaking into the air.
I am talking to hundreds of men who must
be saved by Christ's gospel or never saved at
all. What are you going to do?
Do not put your trust In bromide of po
tassium. or in Jamaica ginger, or anything
that apothecaries can mix. Put your trust
only in the eternal God, and Ho will see you
through. Some of you do not have tempta
tions every day. It is a periodic temptation
that comes every six weeks, or every three
months, when it seems as if the powers 01
darkness kindle around about your tongue
the fires of the pit. It is well enough at
such a time, as some of you do, to seek med
ical counsel, but your first and most impor
tunate cry must be to God. If the fiends
will drag you to the slaughter, make them
do it on your knees. 0 God, now that the
paroxysm of thirst is coming again upon
that man, help him ! Fiing back into the pit
of hell the fiend that assaults his soul this
moment. Oh, my heart aches to see men go
on in this fearful struggle without Christ.
There are in this house those whose hands
so tremble from dissipation that they can
hardly hold a book, and yet I have to tell
you that they will yet preach the gospel, and
on communion days carry around conse
crated bread, acceptable to everybody, be
cause of their holy life and their consecrated
behavior. The Lord is going to save you.
Your home has got to be rebuilt. Your physi
cal health has got to be restored. Your
worldly business has got to be reconstructed.
The church of God is going to rejoice over
your discipleship. “Other sheep I have
which are not of this fold.”
While I have hope for all prodigals, there
are gome people in this house whom I give
up. I mean those who have been church
goers all their life, who have maintained out
ward morality, but who, notwithstanding
twenty, thirty, forty years of Christian ad
vantages, have never yielded their heart to
Christ. They are gospel hardened. I could
call their names now, and if they would rise
up they would rise up in scores. Gospel
hardened! A sermon has no more effect up
on them tnan the shining moon on the
city pavement. As Christ says. “The publi
cans and harlots will go into the kingdom of
God before them.” They have resisted all
the importunity of divine mercy and have
gone during these thirty years through most
powerful earthquakes of religious feeling,
and they are farther away from God than
ever. After awhile they will lie down sick,
and some day it will be told that they axe
dead. No hope!
But I turn to outsiders with a hope that
thrills through my body and sou!. “Other
Bheep I have which are not of this fold.”
You are not gospel hardened. You have not
heard or read many sermons during the last
few years. As you came in to-day everything
was novel, and all the services are suggestive
of your early day. How sweet the opening

extravagance of the national government has
brou hi about this disgraceful condition of
affairs and maybe a general bust up will help
us. Our government is just like a man who
is eviry year spending more thin*, his in
come and keeps on borrowing from Peter to pay
Paul and giving another mortgage to makeup
the deficit. Legislation won’t pay dtbls nor
raise prices, T hen let the old ship run oh to
the hreakeiB if she wants to. As Cobe says:
“It's ail optiohary with me.” Let ns swap
politicians for New England mills, as your pa
per said last week. Politicians are frauds. Tom
Reed tells ub that personally he iB fcV one thing
»ni politicallv he is for another. That is poli
tics. He would see the oouniry damn»d if it
w- '.lid damn the democratic party. Have we
no statesmen who will rise above these petty
animosities? Do all the republicans want a
protective tariff and a gold standard? Are
these strictly party quest oils or are they great
n&t'onal question’s? But why discuss the mod
ern politician, tho sc-fish creature who Wiil
promise everything for votes? Already have
they establ shed paternalism as a fixture upon
government and millions are spent lo catch the
popular car aud sati-fy the popular greed. How
can this government much longer stand the
plunder of her treasury?

When the senate met Thursday the
high tension over the financial situa
tion was clearly evident from the ani

cussed the subject. Trom this a

suggestion had been made that a reso
lution be introduced directing or ad
vising the executive branch of the gov
ernment to cancel the contract with
bankers for the sale of $62,400,000 of
bonds. With the several financial

one way or another was not far off.

departments of the government was
passed by the house Tuesday after
noon, after three days’ discussion,
practically as the committee on ap
propriations reported it. The bill
carried a total of $21,805,726 as it
came to the house. As it passed the
total was $21,825,976, Most of the
day’s session was spent in discussing
the appropriation for paying pension
office employes. Other business trans
acted included the passage of the fol
lowing measures! Senate bill setting
apart certain lands in Mississippi for
the benefit of the mechanical and agri
cultural schools of that state; house
bill authorizing the restoration to
the public domain of certain live-oak
reservations in Mississippi and Ala

from the committee on the District of
Columbia. On motion of Mr. Talbot,
of Maryland, who desired to call up
the naval appropriation bill, it was
agreed that the honso should meet
Thursday at 11 o’clock. The house
non-concurred in the senate amend
ments to the bill for the examination
and classification of certain mineral
lands in Montana and Idaho and or
dered a conference. Mr. Van Voorhis,
republican, of New York, introduced
a resolution bearing on government
nnanciat matters, tne main tenor ol
which was to request a report from the
committee on ways and means of the
testimony, evidence and statements
made by Secretary Carlisle before that
committee regarding the recent bond
contract. The New York representative
was very anxious for this information,
and Mr. Wilson, the chairman of tho
committee, assured Mr. Van Voorhis
that he had a copy of the contract in his
pocket-, and would at the proper time
present it. This was done later in
the shape of a report from the ways
and means committee on the presi
dent’s message, relating to the S82,-
000,000 bond contract, and which re
port contained a copy of the contract.
It was soon evident that there was a
disposition to know what the minority
of the committee thought of the mat
ter, and the house adopted a motion
which will allow them to present their
views on the subject. The report
was ordered printed and referred to
the calendar, The house, at 5:10
o’clock, adjourned.
Another day’s debate in the house
upon the financial question has but
served to eighasize the fact that no
legislation affecting the financial sit
uation is to be expected from the fifty-
third congress. A week ago the house
Vice President Baldwin and the
Grievance Committee Confer.
There was a conference in Washing
ton Wednesday between W. H. Bald
win, third vice-president of the South
ern railway, and the grievance com
mittee of the employes with respect
to the petition filed some time ago on
the part of the employes of the road
asking for a restoration of their former
wages and salaries.
It is remembered that in October,
1893, on the old Richmond and Dan
ville, now a part of the Southern, the
wages of the men were put down from
5 per cent to 20 per cent, according to
the amount received.
In November of the same year the
wages of the employes of the old East
Tennessee, Virginia und Georgia, which
is now also a part of the Southern,
were cut from 5 to 15 per cent, accord
ing to the amounts received.
On the 9th of December last, after
these old roads had passed into the
hands of the Southern Railroad Com
pany, the employes sent a committee
to Mr, Baldwin, third vice-president,
asking to have their farm wages re
stored to them.
After an extended conference, and a
full discussion of the proposition to
restore the wages the men had received
prior to the reduction made by the old
companies while in the hands of re
ceivers, Mr. Baldwin asked an adjourn
ment for sixty days until a statement
could be prepared by the company on
the subject. The men were very will
ing to comply with this request, and
the sixty days adjournment was freely
allowed. This adjourned meeting was
held Wednesday.
The company makes a full statement
to the employes, the drift of which is
towards a much larger outlay by the
company in the payment of its men.
The wages of the men on the two sys
tems, meaning the old East Tennessee
and the old Richmond and Danville,
have been equalized ou a basis that
caused the company to pay out more
monev than heretofore. The average
of wages is much higher, as is shown
by a comprehensive and lengthy state
ment which Mr. Baldwin, 011 behalf of
the company, guve out to the commit
tee.
Not a new way, but a very good and
simple way to make a chair cushion is
as follows:
When it is desired to give the cushion
height, square corners may be secured
by turning in the corners, after the
cushion is filled, and sewing together
the two vertical edges thus formed;
the amount turned in decides the
heighth or thickness of the cushion.
This is much smaller than tL® sewing
of a strip between the top and bottom
of the cushion. In covering the same
plan may be pursued, except that the
material for the top should be cut large
enough to cover the sides and front,
turning over the lower edge where it
may be faced with anything conven
ient. If preferred, the cushion proper
may be made in the way described,
and the cover made with a strip of the
same or a contrasting material sewed
between top and bottom to form the
sides.— Womankind.
GRAVE CHARGES
Preferred
Against North Carolina
Officials.
Before the North Carolina legisla
tive committee on education grave
charges have been made by R. E. Peel,
an attorney, against State Superin
tendent of Public Instruction John C.
Scarborough, and Major S. M. Finger,
ex-state superintendent. *
Mr. Peel made general charges of
favoritism of certain school book pub
lishers, namely, the University Pub
lishing company, of New York, and
insinuates that comuensation was the
reason of this discrimination.
The charges produced a sensation in
Raleigh.but they are not believed. It is
stated that Peel is making the attack
for Ginn & Co., whose agent, Walker,
of South Carolina, is on the ground.
Maior Finger and Superintendent
Scarborough indignantly deny the
charges or, rather, the insinuations.
WASHED INTO THE SEA.
Houses at South Bay, Cape Breton,
Wiped Out of Existence.
Telegraph advices received from
South Bay, Cape Breton, state that
the place has been wiped out of exis
tence by the storms of last week. The
property washed into the sea includes
fish houses, wharves, boats, stores and
fishermen’s dwellings. No lives were
lost, but several families living on the
beach were rescued with great diffi
culty and saved nothing, but the
clothes they wore.
Green Cove reports that the storm
was the most disastrous ever known on
that coast. Boats and fish houses
were nearly all swept out to sea or
wrecked ou the beach. o mail has
been received since February 2d, and
there is no telling when the roads will
be cleared. ____
Cure for a Cold.
When the unmistakable indications
of a bad cold are felt a glass of hot
lemonade before going to bed will
sometimes correct the mischief, ihe
feet may be soaked in hot water with
a couple of tablespoonfuls of mustard
stirred in it if the cold is in the head.
But when this is done warmer stock
ings than usual should be worn the
nest day. If the chest is sore, it may
be rubbed with warm oil or spirits of
turpentine, and an extra layer of flan
nel placed next the skin before going
out.—Good Housekeeping.
