A sailor was dying on shipboard, and he
said to his mutes • “My lads, I can only
think of one passage of Scripture, ‘The soul
that sinneth, it shall die,’ and that keeps
ringing in my oars. ‘The soul that sinneth,
it shall die.’ Can’t you think of something
else in the Bible to cheer me no?’’ Well,
sailors are kind, and they tried to think of

to console comrade but they eail

but he could not exactly find it and the dy

day while resting at Sharon St)rln 2 s N Y

thoauestion- special “I wonder if tlmre is nnv

There soon came upon me a great desiro to

portuuity of usefulness infinite if lhat door

And so I recorded that prayer in a blank
book and offered the prayer day in and day
out until the answor came, though in a way
different from that which I had expected,
for it came through the misrepresentation
and porsccutlon of enemies, and I have to
record it for the encouragement of all minis
tors of the gospel who are misrepresented,
that if tho misrepresentation be virulent

And now, in this
sermon, I propose to do two things—first, to
put a garland on tho grave of the genera
tion that has just passed off and then to put
a palm branch in the hand of the generation
just now coming on tho field of action, for
my text Is true, “One generation passeth
away, and another generation cometh. Oh,
bow many we revered and honored and loved
in the last generation that quit the earth !
Tears fell at the time of their going, and
dirges were sounded, and signals of mourn
ing were put on, but neither tears nor dirge
nor somber veil told the half we felt. Their
going loft a vacancy In our souls that has
never been flllod up. !Ve never get used to
their absence. There aro times when tha
sight of something with whioh they were as
sociated—a picture, or a book, or a garment,
or a staff—breaks us down with emotion, but
wo bear it simply because we have to bear it.
Oh, how snow while their hair got, and how
tho wrinkles multiplied, and the sight grow
moro dim, and the hearing lees alert, and the
step more frail, and one day they and were from gone the
out of the chair by the fireside, end of the-,

church pew, whero they worshiped with us.
Oh, my sou), how we miss them! But let us
console each other with tho thought that we
shall meet them again in the land of saluata
tion and reunion.
And now I twist a garland for that dc
parted generation. It noed not be costly,
perhaps, Rom the llold rastahamlful through which ote '°v« they r h \[ used K ^ n to ™

Discussed by the Alliance Committee
at a Meeting iu Washington.
Tire executive committee of the Na¬
tional Farmers’ Alliance nnd Indus¬
trial Union met in Washington Thurs¬
day, Chairman Marion C. Butler of
North Carolina, president. There was
a long discussion over the proposed
formation of a national farmers’ ex¬
change to try co-operation on dis¬ »
vast scale. The proposition co-operation be¬
cussed contemplates nnd eight
tween five millions
million farmers for tho purchase and
sale of commodities used by agricultu¬
ral interests. A part of tho scheme
has in view tlio fixing of the price of
cereals in this country instead of in
Liverpool. It is asserted that this can
bo brought about by tho co-opera¬
tion of all tho farmers’ organizations
iu the United States. During the
day a representative of the Chilean
govrnment appeared before the com¬
mittee and spoke of the desirability of
trade reciprocity between the farmers of
this country and Chile in order to
obtain nitrate direct from that country.
Representatives of several railroads
also held a conference with the com¬
mittee, at which their co-operation
with the farmers’ organizations for
better rates for agricultural freight
and for slimmer encampments of the
alliance was edisussed.
