MAY CALL VENTING AS PASTOR First Baptist Church Has About Made Up Its Mind , EVANGELIST MAKES A DECIDED HIT III * Mrrtlngii Jtixt dixcd Were Very nnil I'lpnxc the Coit- mi .So tlmt Ilv Mny lie llvtnlncil. Yesterday wns the closing day of the spe cial services that have been held In the First Baptist church , conducted by Hcv. K. Venting ot Donlion. lie preached two ser mons and also gave an Illustrated talk to children and young people In the afternoon. Quito a number have been added to the church flnco the meetings began and the congregation Is w > well pleased with the services of Ilev. 'Mr. Venting that the church baa extended a call to him to act as Its regular raster. In tha last few years ho has been occupied In evangelistic work , but ho had acted in tha capacity ot regular pastor previous to that time and there ar good reasons to expect that , tha call will b accepted. Ills sermon yesterday morning was on th subject , "Thfco Links In a Golden Chain , Ills text was taken from Psalm xxvll , ' "One thing have I desired of the Lord , tha will I seek after , that I may dwell In th house of the Lord all the days of my lift to behold the beauty ot the Lord and to In quire In Ills temple. " "Happiness Is the most desirable thing It the world , " said the minister , "but ther nrn many who seek after but do not obtat It. Why do not all find happiness ? Becaus flu Is in the world and hundreds and tlioti sands of people arc blinded by It. Thcr may bo a tinge of happiness In the picas ures of sin , but < taic happiness is know only to those who have learned to lov Christ and enjoy , as ho desires , the bless Ings of thlH world. I admit that there I much pleasure to be gained by the thing of this world , but where does It end ? Dark ness Is all that can be expected and how ca cnie bo truly happy with this prospec ahead ? "Some people conceive the Idea that the can live perfect lives In this world , but m own experience teaches me differently. Ther Is a sort of supernatural light known b the real Christian , and the nearer to Chris he lives the brighter It shine ? , and his ow Imperfections show plainer than ever be fore. As little specks of dust appear 1 the pure sunlight , so shine the faults of life of this world In the light of Christ. "There are two desires In every bear and by these desires the character can b truly tested. Ho who , on being asked ho\ ho progresses In the Christian life , rcplle that he Is advancing well and Is well satis fled with his Christian experience , declare very plainly that ho Is not progressing a all and that he Is being satisfied with same thing different from true Chrlstllness. H who replies with tears and sobs that hi life may bo some better than It was , but I not what It should be , shows a sign of tru progress , and wo can be sure that his ef forts will not bo In vain. RIGHT DESIRE HELPS US. "A right deslro Is the chief ttny ot every ipereon's life. If the desire Is right and strong enough , the life will be right. Al other qualities are connected with this prin clplo trait , and it Is this particular part o our mind that we should be the most par ticular In educating correctly. It shoulc bo our chief aim in life to learn to desire that which Is good and If we make It eo we are sure to succeed. It Is the one thlnj In our nature , that cannot be counterfeited Wo may make our outer lives to deceive , bu the true desire manifests Itself In a way that cannot be covered up. A desire tha Is given of God for the good and pure things of life is sure to return to him In some form and our lives are better for It. "Effort Is essential to a healthy Christian life , and It will bo manifested In proportion with our desire. During the time of ou revolutionary war there was an Intense de slro for freedom and the accomplishments were great and lasting. Columbus had a great deslro to discover a new route to Asia , and facing the death that threatened him from his crew , ho pushed on across the trackless waters until ho accompllshei something , a. | arently what he desired. I Is the Inner life , or desire , that promotes outward effort , and the life with ono deslro cannot bo denied Its purpose. God never answers prayers that we can answer for our selves , and we can answer most of them 1 wo very greatly desire the thing prayed for and put forth the effort te obtain It. Go , helps him who helps himself , and will crown his every effort with success. "The purpose of the psalmist , as shown by the text , was one of the grandest possible for human to attain to dwell In the houae of God End behold his beauty. Through faith wo see the beauty of God , and wo can feel his presence. God gives beauty and wo can see It on every side. How we arc drawr to the beauties of nature. The birds singing , thu flowers blooming , the brooks wparkllnf In the sunlight and the grand , majestic sweep of the mighty rivers , all fill us with m awe and inspiration Indescribable. God's light , love and presence as" manifested In tbo world ore exquisitely beautiful. When wo behold man , by sin dragged to the depths ol degradation and shame , restored to an hon est , upright life by his grace , we gee God- given beauty In a grander form. His grace can beautify the best of our lives , and none are so distorted and 111 Khapcn by sin but thai they can bo restored by him. Let it bo the purpose of our lives to acquire the highest [ iegreo of godly beauty In our lives. May it bo the deulro of every heart to dwell In the liauao of the Lord , to behold lilt beauty and to inquire in bis temple. " Hoffmayr'fl fancy patent flour makes the jest and most bread.

PHILADELPHIA , > Feh,27. William M. Slngcrly died suddenlyat lijs residence , 1701 Locust street , this afternoon. Heart ills- ease was the Immediate cause of death , ( Mr. Slngcrly had been suffcrlnR for about ten days from a cold , and had remained at home since last "Wednesday , although his Indisposition was In no way serious. While sitting In his bedroom smoking a cigar ho was seized with a violent fit of coughing , and Immediately afterwards fell over dead. In the room at the time were Mr. SltiEerly's granddaughter , Miss 'Mabel ' Gingerly Mere dith , and two servants , Ills son-in-law , James S. McCartney , had left a few mo ments before the sudden end came , leaving Mr. Slngcrly apparently in good health , apart from his slight cold. The phjslclans say they had frequently cautioned Mr. Slngcrly that his heart was weak as a result of excessive smoking , and ot late his custom was to take a "dry smoke. " Today , however , his cigar was lighted , and It Is thought that the smoke brought on the coughing spoil , the severity of which ruptured n vessel of the heart. Mr. Slngerly leaves a daughter , Mrs. B. Slngcrly Ualch , who Is nt present touring Europe. William iM. Slngerly was 'proprietor of the Record Publishing company , president of the Chestnut Street National bank and the Chestnut Street Savings Fund and Trust company , which recently collapsed , mvJ president of the 'Slngerly ' 1'ulp and Paper mill , file was a member of the Kalrmount park commission , and until lately the treas urer and a trustee ot the Philadelphia Com mercial museum. He was born In this city on December 27 , 1832 , and with the exception of a brief period In his early manhood , when ho conducted a commission business In Chicago , has lived hero ever filnce. Ilia father , Jcecph Stngerly. was one of the originators of the street rail way system of Philadelphia , and William re turned hero to assume management of the Qermantown Passenger Rslhvay company. In 1877 ho bought the Ilecord , then a com paratively feeble Journal , and brought It to Its present standard of excellence. ORGANIZES A DANK.

Upon Me Pattlson being called for a second time to the governorship of Pennsylvania , Mr Shigorly succeeded him as president of tbt bank , and also became president of the Chest nut Street Trust and Savings Fund company. In seeking relaxation from the cares w business , Mr. Slngcrly had for many years taken a keeu Interest .In farming and ntock- raising. Ills herds of Holstcln cattle at his largo farm at Gwynodd , In Montgomery county , were ft mous for years , and he was also owner of the Elkton stock farm , near Elkton , Cecil county. Mr. Slngerly was always an active demo crat. In 1894 he was mnanimoiu'ly ' made the democratic candidate 'for ' governor of Penn sylvania and entered -with great energy Into the canvass , speaking > ln nearly every county In the state. In all ho made over seventy speeches In upholding the cause of democ racy. The natural republican majority of Pennsylvania was tooi great to be overcome , however , and his competitor , General Hast ings , carried off the prlzo. . During the last national campaign ho sup ported the Palmer and Duckncr ticket , mak ing a number of speeches In Its behalf In Pennsylvania , Delaware and Maryland and organizing a local association In aid of the movement. Ho also took an .active part In forming the Pennsylvania Bankers' asso ciation. Financial mlsforluno overtook Mr. Sln gerly during the last few months ot his life , when on December 23 last the Chestnut Street National bank and Trust company were compelled to close their doors. Messrs. Earlo and Cook were made assignees of the trust company and managers of a plan lookIng - Ing to the liquidation of the affairs of both institutions. Mr. Slngerly promptly turned over to them every personal asset ho pos sessed , including his Interest In the Ilecord. Slnco then a receiver has been oppolntd for the bank and the affairs of It and the trust company are in process ot settlement. IPoot iFriMlerlelt TemiyNoii. LONDON , Feb. 27.

Will Cnmiilotr Dotnltn for TliU Vcnfn Cli n tuition R lit it On mm. ST. LOUIS. Feb. 27. Most of the magnates who are expected to attcnj the annual meet ing of the National league , which convene. ; tomorrow at the Southern hotel , arp here , and the rest will arrive on tomorrow's early trains. President N. E. Young and tils son , Robert II. Young , clerk of the national board , came In tonight. The following league cities are represented by their presidents Hoattn , A H. Soden ; Hrooklyn , C. II. Ebbetts ; Washing ton , George W. Wagner ; Philadelphia , A. J Roach ; Chicago , James A. Hart ; Cincinnati , John T. Brush ; St. Louis. I ) , S. Muckcnfuaa President Hanlon of Ilaltlniore , President P. DoIIaas Robinson of Cleveland , President H. C. Pulllan of Louisville and President W H. Watklns of Plttuburg will bo here tomor row. New York will not bo represented by President Andrew Freedman , who has given his nroxy to A. II. Sodcn of Beaton. It Is the opinion of several ot the mem bers that the bus I noes will keep the confcr- < ncc In session for several das , and possibly longer. The schedule , the drafting of uew rules , especially abolishing rondy ball , the appointment of a new chief of umpires and the naming of a new staff of umpires are a few of the Important matters that will come up and be disposed ot during the pres ent SCEi loM. It Is expected that the rules abolish. ' * g rowdy bait will cause a Img cad heated de bate , and may lengthen the session. The principal opponent of the proposed rule black listing players for rowdy ball ploying is Prcaldcnt Robinson of Cleveland , Ho has been quoted as eay'ng that the magnates r.cid not the players , were responsible for rowdyism on the ball field. In a recent In terview ho Is reported to have said : iFor years we linvc'encournKttl plnyer.i to adopt rough tactic * In our eagerness to win Kiinies. OnO club bcfrnn It anil other * were forced to follow. The lining by umpires , wns'but ' n .sham , as the club owners ii.ild the lines. Now , after we have raised tlioo players In this way , some of the leagui magnates propose tliat , In order to weun them lor their bait ImbltH , we give unijilre * the pciAer to linve them blacklisted for a violation of the now regulation ? . This Is entirely unjust. The club owner should share the punishment , because he Is moie guilty than the plnyor. I shall take the stand nt St. Louts that for the llrst offense a player be 'suspended thirty days without pay. That Is a severe punishment for him , unil he would not CHIC to take a chance 'on losing- another thirty days' pay. At the same time It Is a punish ment fort the owner , who loses the services of a valuable player for thirty days. 1 believe that the rule placing1 so much power In the umpires' hands Is extremely ilnnRurous. They lire , Just as apt to 'go olt the handle as a player ana vent their spite on the players they do not like. It lj also said to be President Robinson's Intention to present a resolution requiring each club president to sign a bond agreeing to forfeit $5,000 If one ot his players Is guilty of using foul language on iho ball field. field.Ned Ned Hanlon of Baltimore will be as ardent a champion for the blacklist rule as Robinson is an opponent. President Young , who Is occupying Hit room at the Southern hotel made historic by Mark Hanna as his headquarters during the republican national convention here In 1S90 , briefly outlined the work of the meet ing. Ho said : The board of 'arbitration will meet tomor row morning nnd dispose of a large number of minor matters 'coming' before It. The regular meeting- the National league will convene Monday evening- 8 o'clock , and the llrst matter of Importance coming before - fore it for action after the routine business win ue inc playing sciiwiuie. inc IHVGUIIR as usual will he held behind closed doors and the proceedings will bo given out after adjournment. Following the schedule , the question of now rules , the naming- the now chief of umpires nnd bis assistants for the coming season nnd the selection ofl a successor to the late Charles H. Byrne , of Brooklyn on the boanl of arbitration will be In order. John T. 'Brush will present before the meeting a proposition that the league aclop some sort of a testimonial for Charles H Byrne. Ho declined to say what this would bo. To Sell Kiioolis' Home * . HAUT1NGTON , Neb. . Feb. 27.-Specla ( Telegram. ) 2. M.

PHOENIX , Ariz , , Feb. 27. ( Special. ) The Santa Fe , Prcscott & Phoenix Railroad com puny has asked for bids for construction of an extension of the line into the Big Bug oynx district. The extension will be forty miles In length , running from Prcscott to the center of the Big Bug mining district. Tills district Is very rich 'n all kinds of minerals , being especially noted for the hundreda cf acres of oynx beds that are In It. This build ing material has not gained much of a repu tation throughout the country owing to the fact that the wagon charges to get It out BO Increase the price of It that It could not compete with the other oynx In the market.
