And this, I will undertake to say’ lhat'the vast majority of the human fa nily are suffering either for lack of food or the right kind of food. Our civiliza¬ tion is all askew, and God only can «*<jt If right. Many of built the giVAtest estates of to¬ day have baaa out of the blood and bones Of unrequited toil. “Don’t sit down at your table with five or six courses of abundant supply and think nothing of that family in the of next street live who would take any one tliddd courses between soup arid (Unload nuts and feel they Wefa id heaven. The lack of the right kind of food is the" cause of much of tin' drunkenness. After drinking what many of our grocers call coffee, sweetened with what many cad sugar, and outing what many of our butchers call meat, and chewing broad, what many of our bakers call miserable many of the laboring clashes into feel theii so pipes they are tempted tdbitCCOnlst to put 1 bacco, nasty What lata the calls to¬ or go tile drinking saloons for what the t'umsollers call beer.

Seek out conjunctionof somo family who, through sickness or misfortune, have not enough to oat, and do for them what Christ did for the hungry multitudes of Asia Minor, mul¬ tiplying the loaves and the ilshes. Let us quit tho surfeiting of ourselves until wo cannot clioko down another crumb of cake, and ties. begin tho supply of others’ necessi¬ “It is an awful thing to he hungry,” sal 1 the preacher. “It Is an easy thing for us to be in good humor with nil the world when wo huvo no lack. But let hunger take, full possession of us, and we would all turn into barbarians and cannibals and iicnds. Suppose that some of the energy wo are expending in useless and unavailing talk about the bread question should be ex¬ pended in merciful alleviations. I have read that the battlefield on which more troops met than on any battlefield other in the world's history was tho of Leip- sic—100.003 men under Napoleon; 200,000 men under Sehwarzobcrg. No! No! Tho greatest and most terrific battle is now be¬ ing fought all tho world over. It Is tho struggle for food. Tho ground tone of the finest passage In my of the great musical masterpieces, ed the artist says, the hungry was suggest¬ to him by the cry of popu¬ lace of Vienna, ns tho King rode through and they shouted: ‘Bread! Give us bread!' And all through the great harmonies of musical academy and cathedral I hear tho the pathos, tho ground tone, tho tragedy of uncounted multitudes, who, with stream¬ ing eyes and wan cheeks and broken hearts, in behalf of themselves and their families, are pleading for bread. “Let us take another look nrouud to soo how we may serve our generation. Lotus see, as far as possible, that they have enough to wear.” The preacher dilated upon tho curse of drunkenness and idleness, causing the maelstrom that has swallowed down the livelihood of those who are in rage. But things will change, and by generosity on tho part of tho crowded wardrobes, and in¬ dustry and sobriety on the party of the empty war 1 robes, there will be enougli for all to wear. “God has done His part toward the dress¬ ing of the human race. He grows a sur¬ plus of. woo! ontbe sheep’s back, and flocks roam the mountains and valleys with a burden of warmth, intended for transfer¬ ence to human comfort when the shuttles of the factories reaching all the way from Chattahoochee to the Merrimac, shall have spun and woven it. In white letters of snowy fleece God has been writing for a thousand years His wish that there might be warmth for all nations. While others arc discussing the eflf“ -t of high or low tariff, or no tariff at all on wool, you and I had better see it ia our wardrobe wc have noth¬ ing that wc can spar : for the shivering, or pick out some poor lad of the street and take him down to a clothing store and fit him ont for the winter. “Again, let us look around and see how we may serve our generation. What short¬ sighted mortals we would be if we were anxious to clothe and feed only the. most insignificant part of a man, namely, bis body, while we put forth no effort to cloth ■ and feed and save bis soul. “Wc put a halo about the people of the past, but I thick if the times demanded them it would be found we have now living in this year, 1897. fifty Martin Lutbers, fifty George Washington-, fifty Lady Hun¬ ting tons. fifty Elizabeth Frys.

And as we embrace each other with the cry, “Never more to part; never more to part,” the arches, the alcoves, the hallways, echo and re-echo the words, “Never more to part; never more to part!” Then our glorified friends say: “Come out with us and see heaven.” And, some of them bounding ahead of us and some of them skipping be¬ side us, we start down the ivory stairway. And we meet, coming up, one of the Kings of aueient Israel, somewhat small of stature, but having a countenance radiant with a thousand victories. And as all are making obeisance to this great one of heaven, I cry out “Who is he?” and the answer comes: “This is the greatest of "11 the Kings; it is David, who, after he bad served bis generation by the will of God, fell on sleep.” ’ ” Electrocuted by a Telephone Wire, \ rope with a loop in the free end left dangling over the street from a telephone wire in Kastou, Md., caught a button on a carriage which was being driven up the street and, wrenching the top from the vehicle, threw out a woman who was ridiDg in it.
