home* and an affectloreato remem
brance of their hearty welcome to ue.
IVraved are the 'ties that bind us.
At It o'clock In the morning Rev.l
0. a. timilh prendhed on “The Parent
hood of Idle Church." Dr. Alonso Monk
preached another soul-stirring sermon
last night.
The sonnion delivered by him Erl-
day nlglui, however, was a particularly
striking effort, a synopsis of which Is
given below:
Dr. Monk's Sermon on Friday night
■was ono of the feature* of the confer
ence. llo announced his text from
Mark xvl: 15—"Qu yo into nil the world
and preach the gospel tp. every crea
ture.*’ Tho sermon wne not «o much a
connected argument a« n genoml ap
peal for the unconverted brother In
the foreign land of heathenism. The
weaker skirted hut with a passing ref
erence to thO gospel us It wits flrwt of-
fared man, tho onuses 'which brought
about tho necewdty of a gospel, that Is
Iho human calamity In tho Harden of
■Hen. The time was. he said, when
men did not need the gospel Just
as they needed It now-, and marked u
difference between the old and the new
living. The tkme linn never been, he
held, hbwever, when nun did not need
It at nil.
Passing on from a pathetic reference
«o man's unlucky iieg-Uinliis which
brought upon hint sin. Dr. Monk pro
ceeded to tell about the gospel which
Hod conceived nnd how he planned lbr
Its use by man Air tils salvation, and
how lie even offered hla only son, Jesus,
as the mediator for all who came after
from the tmluokv and stn-t-umed par
entage bf mankind.
This gospel Is offered us not at any
cost to ourselves, Isit to Ood, the giver.
Qod had to project the plan of man's
salvation, and In Mils he n.l.t.cd his
Imsvtu Of his only txdovcd sen. Here
was tho oo*U the latter cvx-tt. Hot cioh
nod every men who came* tinder the
free deliverance of God's merciful hand
Is n cimtmHHonea servant forever af
ter. "Go ye Into the world nnd preach
toe mwixl to every creature" are the
terms of this conmilmlon, *nd II Is giv
en us that wo may publish fo the nrjl-
edy-oureed in foreign lands where the
Rivlor’a vhlce has not been heard, the
plan of out- salvation.
God Iihk various agencies far spread
ing his go*!**). First, the ministry Is
to bs held to a rigid uvoiiint for the
neglect of the work In the foreign
Hold*. The ministry hna vino and is
still doing the work of the nueier This I
In* the olden times, w-gs the Itinerant
ministry, and ch. may It be no with us,
(he Weenuat ministry of today. They j
sane down and mingled with the pro-1
pie. these ministering angels; Utoy were
glad b> proclaim the gospel to fellow 1
mankind.
The different agencies which God em
ployed In having his gospel pohhshed
mve Is-en taxed each with a roll share |
v>f the whcle obligation.' In reonl to
the angelic ministry. Dr. Monk thought I
ihst angels are today dlttlug through
the air all the time impressing the goa
l-el upon elunere. He cold at times
I eel their very presence. There oheuM
1< no cliolco with ua aa to how Qcd
propoeea to save (he workl nnd to
tqiread his guard throughout the ends
uf (he earth, it being mdlHputabty- hla
light to choose nny agency he may
eve lit. It ia ouro only to rejoice ibat
there ie a plan of salvation and to rec
ognise It aa coming through Jesus
Christ the mediator. Dr. Monk argued
shat man la (be greatest agency for
rpraiding the gospel, because * la man
appealing to man, brother to brother,
when the heart of the convert bums
for the ealvatCbn of Ihe sinner. He
(welt briefly upon lb* Lord's exceeding
earaaataejs In toe datra of errq-i ...
day. that men should be saved and
•tressed the point, as an inspiration to
liafiur strokes from the pewt with lees
of the -total reliance bn the pulpit.
When God drew forth from hie plaatlo
Angers worlds upon worlds It woe but
of hie fingers,'', but when-
•** ti e-voig fellow mankind he
found toat if Was not the work of hands,
but toe unreeling from hi* bosom hi*
only, begotten sob—It ms giving his
only child to come upon earth In Ig
nominy and shame. Now con we ques
tion tha( God was earnest? Certainly
not. Dr. Monk wild that It was this
*wne sort of earnestness that should
pervade human ministry,
,.He next pseeed on to the work of the
Itinerant preacher and In a measure
softened toe hard spots in the life of
many a “circuit rider."
No doubt by allusion to hi* early ex
ample In toe ministry as such.
I-requent "Amene.'’ "Amens," were to
be heard all over toe church as Dr.
Monk dwelt upon some of his particu
larly hard exiterlencea ea a Ill-year-old
preacher In (he mountains i>f Tennessee.
He urged upon all the loftiness of (heir
ministry and said that for his pari ho
gloried In toe feet that he hid been
an Itinerant Methodist -proioher for a
number of years. As to pecuniary con
slderutlon* nnd aa between llesh and
blond, he would not be pnyJconxrefca-
(lons pastor for (20.000 a year. But It
was his God that he -was fighting and
struggling for and be gloried In toe
cause he represented.
“But,' slid the preacher, finally com
ing more immediately to his subject.
"I am not to preach a sermon to toe
preachers. The lesson In this text Is to
the church. 'Go ye In toe world nnd
Preach toe gospel to .every creature.' ”■
He mild that tola -work of giving the
gospel to toe heathen, the unerdlghl-
cned, devolves upon (he whole church
nnd It must keep up the tight. II Is not
s struggle (hr tile few but Iho many.
He laid down (he •following named
agencies lo be employed in this foreign
mission work: Work of the holy spirit,
preyer. men to go, money to send them.
Tho holy ghost leads the way, the oth
ere follow In their turn and are essen
tlal, The holy ghost breathes net only
upon toe face of toe witter ton divides
us from the foreign, missionary field
and brings to vlow tho continents where
our subjects stand, hut it brings to
view toe faces of the men who ore to
•be saved. Whereas st Ihe outset of
God’s work men fortmde our proffered
help with bristling bayonets now nil
stand on the seashore on tiptoe and In
one grand chorus cry out, "Oh. men of
God. come over and help us." The time
Is tips for action. The reason China Is
not today In the great kingdom of God
Is not because the gospel has not
reached It. for It has gone on ahead,
but It Is because too church Is behind
sohedule lime hi propagating It among
the people.
Dr. Monk had n good deal to say on
prayer—toe power of prayer. "Oh, that
the entire church would go down upon
Its knees In deep, earnest prayer for
Ihe work that Is already h»lng altcmpl-
cd by our missionaries. The troublo Is
that there Is not enough prayer tor our
missions. I have not heard a single
missionary pmyer since this conference
began. What’s the mailer? I don’t
heir tt anywhere in your homes or In
your prayer meetings.”
The great difficulty, he sold, nbout
carrying on the foreign mission work
was In getting at men’s purses. "And
then you are called and won’t go. God
aught to make you go. He will. too.
The tlrat thing you know there are a
groat many old foslls that he la going
to bury. The church of Ood Is going
to have n few flnst-ejasa funerals out of
ycu fellows who are not giving what
you could and ought to the furtherance
of his cause. Any man who claims to
have any sort of religion and does not
give one-tenth of his earnings to the
church Is not living up to lb
"Tes, I know you want us preschera
to (top talking nbout money and toll
out with us because we don’t—why don’t
yoii fall out -with self-lmlulgenoe, toe
sheriff, tho tax collector?" He said he
lied never heard bf any preacher who
preached as much nbout money ns
Christ did himself during hla ministry
on earth; and St. Paul—It was almost
Invariably his peroration when addree-'
sing too peoplo.
You siy you can’t afford to pay any
thing to too church, or 'but little ut
beet. The foot Is. my brother, you
can't afford not to do It. God IS going
to send toe Mgh sheriff down here to
levy his (ax and you better pay up be
fore he comes. Ho thought toat the
unusually hard winter nnd spring was
duo tu Ihe fact that God -has t>een down
her taktng up his collection. "You
wouldn't give him what you owed him,
so lie's taking It anyhow. Your water
melons are tied up ell along the rail
road Knee, too. I notice." He said some
people were deathly afraid of a little
trickle and dlmo collection. "If some of
uu peoplo who belong lo Brother Fel-
er'e church know when he was going
to -take up a missionary collection you
would have n sick wife at homo ths(
Bund-ay br an urgent engagement out
of town. It has actually come to the
paw that -we preac-hera have got to keep
our collections a profound secret frusn
ilo- i—-tde In Mead of being able be
forehand to notify (horn to bring along
their extra change."
In ronohidlng his aermon, of which
this Is at heat an abbreviated synopsis.
Dr. Monk, in a beautiful climax, urged
the church lo hasten on tti the help of
their perishing brethren. "Leave. If
need he." he said. "these ok! fossils f«n
whom you have been drumming away
the brat of your yean end go to the
rescue of those who are crying for help.
Wo cun return later and roast them by
the month."
A collection was taken up at toe close
of toe service for missions. Dr. Monk
explained that tt wms dene to more for
cibly present what he meant by giving

FIREBUGS AT WORK.
Union Stock Yards, I1L, July 7.—Tho
firebugs continued their destructive
work In this district until long nfter
midnight At 9 o'clock -they fired an
empty toox oar on the Grand Trunk
tnokj* ot Loomis street, close to the
spot where a oar was destroyed an
hour previous. Cara were lighted In
a dozen different places nnd firemen
are completely exhausted from respond
ing to alarms. Tho alarms have been
sent In at the rate of five or six every
hour, not less than twenty-throe olrms
have toeen received at the district since
7 o'clock tonight.
Although tho packing houees nre sur
rounded by pickets of otnte troops, fire
huge got into the yards Shortly nfte
10 o’clock find ae»r fire to the big hay
and feed barn of Nelson, Morris & Co.
A general alarm of fire w«* sent out
nnd the firemen had a hard struggle
to jnico*»d in quenching the flames.
Tthere was no wind at the time, other
wise they would not have prevented
the distinction of *he immense pack
ing houses which stood close to the
fire. The 1<xml will probably amount
to ffi.OOO.
A fire which broke out shortly tocrore
1 o'clock In the boot and shoe store, 515
Thirty-ninth street, near Indiana avenue,
has already destroyed a dozen frame
buildings and some stores, and Is not
yet under control. A strong breeze Is
blowing from the west, earning the
flames toward Prairie' street. It Is almost
certain that the Are will burn through
that street. Most of thp building* that
wert burned were dwelling*, and llttlo

Services Last Night and This Morn
ing.
Tbe best Saturday night audience of
the whole meeting was present at the
tabernacle last night.
The services were opened In # the
usual manner, >the (Tinging of he cho
rus attracting much attention. Large
numbers of people remained after ser
vice, as they do every night/ to hear
the practice pieces. Thy have made
wonderful progress and are now han
dling the rftost difficult anthems with
wonderful ease and grace
Pfiofeseor Dawdy sang last night a
solo entitled "Lost In Sight of Home."
It made & deep impression on the en~
tire congregation.
Dr. Romig found his text last night
in Matthew 111:10—"Already the ax is
laid at the root of trees; every tree
that brlngeth not forth good fruit Is
hewn down and cat Into -the fire."
This language was used-Ay John the
Baptist In addressing toe 6adducee*
nd Pharisees. It was prophetic of the
destruction of the city of Jerusalem,
which waa occompauhed In 70 A. D.
The evangelist then made a. personal
application of the text and showed by
many apt and thrilling illustrations
how the text was toeing carried out In
this present day. Many who were al-
moet persuaded to bevome Ohristians
sometime* turned away, rejecting or
putting him off for the pr»ent. Many
times In his own experience such Ones
have died unhappily out of Christ and
without a hope for the future. Many
others putting It off grew worse and
worse, wandered fairther and farther
i \ i>- and w<*tv I-T<n.
He .«N(;»*vi Mi’ll i m-wt earnest plea
for people who contehzpfiate coming to
tbe Savior to comb now and not delay.
Sunday ochbol at the tabernacle this
morning at 9:30. PreacMng at 11 and
tonight at 8 .o'clock. The sermon to
night will be especially to young men,
and Dr. Romig invites the ladles to
come and bring the men with them.
<At toe close of laat night’s service
a bright young man was added to the
church. There waa one confession afeo
at the baptismal service at 4 p. m.
yesterday. Tontgbt this may be the
last of toe bfibernaole services. Let ev
ery one that can be present. *.

IS IT JUST.
To the Editor of the Telegraph: I
ted 4n your Issue of the Telegraph
' Y (Saturday) ithat as no salted
s nor Western beef would be ob-
na/ble until ithe ending of the great
Ike now in progress in the city of
jeago our merchants had advanced,
ou’.d advance, the prices on salted
ts. Is this a Just measure. In con
ation of the great and widespread 1
stiidgen'ey of toe times our people
have been paying good prices for aalt
meats all along, and 4t does not seem,
no: ig it right, that prices should be
advanced, on meats alfeady In ©took
and wtoch 'have not been purchased
with se slightest reference to a strike
not titen in existence. If our dealers
are doing this overcharging they aro
simply trading on 'the necessities of
helpl^si buyens at thlb tBme.
We afc know what an unusually hard
year ou.* farmers and (truck- growers
have lalored 'through and how fruit
raisers Have > *loet nearly all of their
exported fruit towing to the troubles
atteQidai.lupon Hhe strike. Vegetables,
melons, 71 titer, oBfetons and eggs are
all plenHul, and our people
would d)» ivell to refluse to bily-^- pound
of salt float at panic prices wh6h *o
a/bunda supply of fresh food
hand, l aides Improving health by a'
freer v» etatble diet. And If the price
on «the teamens' produce should ad
vance Ik it wouM toe better and
kinder give therm the ibeneflt of It,
not on in consideration of their
losses t j year, tout (because there Is
no city the Union (Where produce is
sold at i low rates as in Maoon. Let
our pec e eschew salt meats at ad
vanced ne« amd give the struggling
farmers he benefit of 'the "move.”
