I CONYERS, GEORG A, The Baltimore News believes that there is nearly S150,000,000 of Balti more money invested in Southern securities. The Allahabad Pioneer, tho princi¬ pal journal of British India, and the one on which Rudyard Kipling began his literary career, recently contained a paragraph in tho “want” columns as folloAvs: “Situation wanted as snake charmer in respectable family. P. S. —No objection to looking after the camel. ” The status of the fiancee has recently come up in Texas. A railroad man had his life insured for the benefit of his betrothed. He died from injuries in a wreck. His family enjoined the insurance company from paying the money. In Missouri the Supreme Court has decided that such insurance is invalid. The family got tho money. That it costs something to launch a big battleship is shown by tho state¬ ment that tho expense of getting the Victorious, the latest addition to Eng¬ land’s fleet, afloat was about $10,000. She is a sister ihip to tho Magnificent and the Majestic, and is 390 feet long, seventy-five feet beam, and 27£ feet draught. There were used up on the ways over Avhich she slid into the Avater 7000 pounds of Russian tallow, 1G0 gallons of train oil and 700 pounds of soft soap. The gross weight of the shin, equipped and ready for sea, is 15,725 tons. Rev. Dr. Tnlinage, in a recent ser¬ mon, speaking of our near approach to the twentieth century, said: “Only four summers more; four autumns more; four winters more; four springs more, and then the clock of time will striko the death of the old century and the birth of tho new.” It is easy to forget, recalls the Pathfinder, that there are still five more years before dawn of the twentieth century,, The nineteenth century will not end, re¬ member, till midnight of December 31, 1900, not 1899. You must spend your 100th cent before your dollar is gone, and it is so with the years of tho century. The Atlanta Constitution remarks: Out in Indiana an old lady ot seventy four offered $20,000 for a young hus¬ band. An enterprising fellow of twen¬ ty-six came forward, but the woman’s family sued out a writ of lunacy to prevent her from marrying. The jury pronounced her sane, and sho eloped Apiit> with hor her purchase and married him. The Chicago Record in commenting on this ... makes the , point that short case a time ago g a J vonno-woman ° in New York wanted a husband with a title, and _ got bini niter n hi<r ox nnch c bu sum mm nf «m/>rnl 0 million dollars had been settled upon . him . . by ,__, her relatives. Noboily hinted that the New York girl was insane. On the contrary society thought that she had distinguished herself. Our Chicago contemporary thinks that it makes a difference when the pur¬ chased husband is an imported article with a title. If he is a homo product the woman who offers a good price for him is supposed to be crazy, The Italians imported by Austin Corbin to become land owners at Sun nyside, Arkansas, are represented in the New York Post to be superior in morals and intelligence to the Italian laborers with whom people in other parts of the country are more or less familiar. They are reported to have been carefully selected from a very re¬ spectable and prosperous class. At home they were small farmers, gar¬ deners and fruit growers, and the methods of farming and careful culti¬ vation to which they have been accus¬ tomed are expected to be great aids to them in their new surroundings. They have strong religious inclina¬ tions, and their first act after arriving at their new home was to conduct re¬ ligious exercises in thanks to God for the kindness bestowed upon them. They were heartily welcomed at Sun nyside, and at once announced their intention to become citizens. Other ehip loads ot immigrants are expected to follow this first importation.

There are so many different ways of being con¬ verted that avo want to hear all kinds, so that our OAvn case may be helped. It always puts mo back to hear only one kind of experience, such as a man gives when he tells of his Pauline conversion—I ioav he was knocked senseless, and then had a vision and heard voices, and after a certain number of days of horror got up and shouted for joy. All that discourages me,for I was never knocked senseless, burst religious and 1 never rapture had such I a lost sudden of that my equilibrium. But after awhile a Christian man got Aip in some meeting and told us how he AV/is brought up by a devout parentage,, and had always been thoughtful about re¬ ligious things, and gradually the peace of the gospel came into his soul like the dawn of the morning—uo perceptible difference between moment and moment—but after awhile all permrbation settled down into a hope that had consoled and strengthened him during all tho vicissitudes of a lifetime. I said. “That is exhilarating; that was my experience.” And so I Avas strengthened. In another prayer meeting a man got up and told us how he once hated God and Avent Through all the round of iniquity until AveAvere all on nettles lest he should go too much into the particulars, but one dav he was by some religious power hurled flat and then got up a Christian and had ever since been going around with a Baxter Bible AVith larR6 flaps under his arm. a floating evange list. Well, under this story many are not helped at all, for they knoiv they never hated Q 0 d, and they Avere ne\ r er dissolute. But af ter awhile some Christian woman arises and says. “I have nothing extraordinary to tell, yeti think the cares of life, the anxieties about my children and two graves opened in our family plot made me feel the ne ed of God. and weak aud helpless and heartbroken I flung myself upon His mercy, j feel what the Bible calls the ‘peace of God which passeth that all understanding,’ I live and I ask your prayers mav so'much nearer to the Christ who has done for me.” I declare that before that woman got 'tears, through we were all crying, not bitter but tears of jovful emotion, and in three days in that neighborhood all the ice had gone out of the river in a springtime freshet of salva tlon. “Let the redeemed of theLordsay so.” I have but little interest in what people say about religion as an in abstration, what people but I have illimitable interest say aboAit what they have personally felt of re ligion.

I will die as a Christian.” Though he was dragged out and stoned to death, they could not drown the testimony made under such awful circumstances: “I am a Christian. I will die as a Chirstian.” “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so." What confirmation would come if all who had answers to prayers would SDeak out; if all merchants in tight places because of hard times would tell how in response to suppli¬ cation they got the money to pay the note; if all farmers in_time ot drought would tell how in answer to prayer the rain came just in time to save the crop; if all parents-who prayed for a wandering son to come home would tell how not long after they heard the boy’s hand on the latch of the front door. Samuel Hick, an English Methodist preacher, solicited aid for West India mis sions from a rich miser and failed. Then the minister dropped on his knees, and the miser said. “I wiil give thee a guinea if thou wilt give over.” But the minist “I sr con- will tinued to prav, until the miser said. gi ve thee 'two guineas if thou wilt give over.” Then the money was taken to the missionary meeting.

That has been reie3med of tho Lord 8 Let the same outspokenness be employed toward those by whom we havebeen person ally advantaged. AVe Avait until they are dead before we say so. Your parents have planned for your best interests all these years. They may sometimes, their nervous system used up by the cares, the losses, the disappointments,'the Avorrimentsofiife.be more irritable than they ought to pe, and they probably have faults which have be come oppressive as the years go by. But those eyes, long before they took on spec tacles, were watching for your \A'elfare, and their hands, not as smooth and much more deeply lined than once, have done for you many a good day's work. Life has been to them more of a 'struggle than you will ever knoiv about, and much of the struggle has been for you, and how much they are wrapped up in your welfare you will never appreciate. Have by word gift behavior you or or ex pressed your thanks? Or if you cannot quite get up to say it face to face, have you written it in some holiday salutation? ThetimeAvill soon pass, an/1 they Avill be gone out of your sight, and their ears Avill not hear, and their eyes will not see. If you owe them any kindness of deed or any Avords of appreeia tion, why do you not say so? Hoav much we might all of us save ourselves in the matter of regrets if we did not delay until too late an expression of obligation that would have made the last years of earthly life more attractive. The grave is deaf, and epitaphs on cold marble cannot make re paration. In soon past, and the twain take it for granted depen- that each Is thoroughly understood. How demon each other they become, and the years go by, and perhaps nothing is said to make the other fully understand that sense of dependence. Impatient words sometimes come forth, and motives are misinterpreted, and it is taken as a matter of course that the two will Avalk the path of life side by side until about the same time their journey shall be ended, but some sudden and appalling ill ness unloosens the right hands that were clasped years at before the altar of orange blossoms, tho parting takes place, and among the worst of all the sorrows is that you did not oftener, if you ever did at all, tell her or tell him hotv indispensable she was or hotv indispensable he was to your happiness, and that in some plain, square talk long ago you did not ask for forgiveness for infirmities and neglects, and by some unlimited utter ance make it understood that you fully ap preciated the fidelity and re-enforcement of many years. Alas, hoiv many such have to lament the rest of their lives, “Oh, if I had only said so!” My subject takes a wider range. TheLord has hundreds of thousands of people His among those who have never joined what [army Christian be causa of some high ideal of a should be or because of a fear that they may not hold out or because of a spirit of pro crastination. Thev have never publicly professed Christ. They have as much right to the sacraments and as much right to all the privileges of the chiirch as thousands who*have for years been enrolled in church membership, and yet they have made no positive utterance by which ;the world may know they love God and are on the road to heaven. They are redeemed of the Lord and yet do not say so. Oh. what an augmenta tion it would be if by some divine impulse all those outsiders should become insiders. I tell you what would bring them to their right places, and perhap3 nothing else will— days of persecution. If they were compelled to take sides as betweenfChrist and His ene- mies. they would take the side of Christ, and the fagots and the instruments all earth of and torture hell and the anathemas of would not make them blanch. Martyrs are made out of such stuff as they are. But let them not wait for such days as I pray to God may nevercome. Drawn by the sense oi fairness and justice and obligation, let them show their colors. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. This chapter from which I take my text mentions several classes of persons who ought to be outspoken, among them all those who go on a journey. What an opportunity you have, you who spend so much of your time on rail trains or on shipboard, whether glory on lake or river or sea! Spread tho redemption of God’s goodness and your own wherever you go. You will have many a long ride beside some one whom you will never see again, some one who is waiting for one word of rescue or consolation. Make every rail trained steamer a moving palace of saved souls. Casual conversations have harvested a great host for God. There are many Christian workers in pul pits, imbear in mission stations, Sabbath schools, in i of places who are doing their bast for God and without any recognition. They go and come, and no one. cheers them. Per bans all the rewaru they get is harsh eritic ism, or repulse, or their own fatigue. If you have ever heard of any good they have done, let them know about it. If you find some one benefited by their alms, or their nrayers, or their cheering word, go and tell them, They may he almost ready to give up their mission. They may be almost in despair be cause of the seeming lack of results. One word from you may be an ordination that will start them on the chief work of their lifetime. A Christian woman said to her pastor: “My usefulness is done. I do not know why n^y life is spared^any longer he c«*.]S(3 A uu 00 no £°0G. toe pdSi;0* z^gzgrjsssizisrziS; oath. ban ashed.

There are hundreds of ministers who have hard work to make sermons because no one expresses auv appreciation. They are afraid of making him vain. The moment the !)en r dietiou is Pronounced they turn on their heels and go out. Perhaps it was a subject on which he had put especial pains. H sought mr the ngut text and then did his best to put the old thought mco some new sbape. He had prayed tnat it rmgnt go to the hearts of tue people. He had added to the argument the most vivid illustrations he could think of He had delivered all with ^,P°wer that left him nervously exhausted. Five hundred people may have been blessed by ft and resolved unon a higher life and nobler purposes. Yet ail ho hears is the clank of the new door, or the shuffling of feet in the aisle, or some remark about the weather, the last resort of inanity. Why did not that man come up and say frankly, «y ou have done me good?” Why did not some woman come up and say, “I shall go home to take up the burden of life more cheerfully?” Why did not some professional man come up andsay: “Thaus you, dominie, for that good advice? I will take it. God ffless you. Why did they not tell him so; I have known ministers, in the nervous reac «on that comes to some'.after the delivery of a sorinon wif ii no seeming result, to go home and ro11 on the floor in a ” oa W v' dt to 1 ? a!ce 1l >' { f \his lack of outspoken religion there . needs to be and will be a great day when, amid the solemnities and grandeurs of a listening universe. God will 'We”'", mothers have »•W"?«“«**• roexed cradles and over infantile sicknesses and brought up their families to manhood and womanhood and launched them upon useful and success ful lives, and yet never received one “Thank you” that amounted to anything. The daughters became quftens in social life or were affianced in highest realms of pros perity; the sons took the first honors of the Ainiversity and became raliant in mone tarv or professional spheres. Now the secret of all that uplifted maternal influence must come out. Society did not say so, the church did not say so, the world did not say so,but ou that day of all other days, the last day, There God_ will say so. life is grind _ are men to whom a and a conflict, hereditary tendencies to be overcome, accidental environments to be endured, appalling opposition to be met and conquered, and they neA’erso much as had a rose pinned to their coat lapel in admira tiOD. They never hail a song dedicated to their name. They never had a book pre sented to them with a complimentary Avord on the fly-leaf. All they have to show for their lifetime battle is scars. But in the last day the story will come out, and that life will he put in holy and transcendent rhythm, and their courage and persistence and faith and victory will not only be an nounced but rewarded. “These are they that came out of great tribulation and had their robes washed and made Avhite in the blood of the Lamb.” God will say so! We miss one of the chief ideas of a last judgment. We put into the picture the Are. fl nd the smoke, aad the earthquake, and the descending angels, and the uprising dead, bAit we omit to put into the picture that which makes the last judgment a magnificent opportunity. We omit the fact that it is to be a day of glorious explanation and com meudation. The first justice that millions 0 f unrewarded and unrecognized and unap predated men and women get will be on that day. when services that never called forth so much, as a newspaper line of finest pearl or diamond type, as th9 printers term That it. shall be called up for coronation. will be the day of enthronement for those w hom the world called *‘nobodies. ” Joshua, who commanded the sun and moon to stand still, needs no last judgment to get justice done him, but those men do need a last judgment who at times in all armies, under the most violent assault, in obedience to com mandthemselves stood still. Deborah, who encouraged Barak to bravery in battle against the of Israel, needs no last judg- ment to get jusiice done her. for sands of years have clapped her applause. But the wives who in all ages have encour aged their husbands in the battles of life, women whose names were hardly known be yond the next street or the next farmhouse, must have God say to them: “You did well, You did gloriously. I save you down in that dairy. I Avatched you in tbe old farmhouse mending those children's clothes. I heard what you said in the way of cheer when the breadwinner of the household was in des pair. I remember all tirn sick cradles you have sung to. I remember the backaches, the headaches, the heartaches. I know the story of your knitting needle as well as I knoiv the story of a queen’s scepter. Your castle on the heavenly hill is all ready for you. Go up and take it.” And turning to the surprised multitudes of heaven He will say. “She did what she could.” God will S ay so. And now I close with giving my own per sonaltestimony, for I must not enjoin upon others that which I decline myself to do. Born at Bound Brook, N. J., of a parentage be as pious as the world ever saw, I attest fore earth and heaven that I have always felt the elevating and restraining influence of having had a good father and a good mother, and if I am able to do half as well for my children as the old folks did for me I will be thankful forever. The years of my life passed on until, at about eighteen years of age. I felt the pressure of eternal rea lties and after prayer and religious counsel I passed into what I took to be a saved state and joined the church, an d I attest before earth and heaven that I have found it a most helpful and inspiring association.
