He v. Robert II. Dcattlo of Nowburgh, N.
Y preached In Knox I'rcsbylerlan church
Hunrtay morning from tActs xl, 20: "Tho dis
ciples were called Christians llrst at AMI
ocb." , ,
"This Is a (statement of fact," Raid the
speaker. "Wo would like to know the do
'talis. The origin of other names we can
trace, but tho only Information wo possess
of tho origin of Hie name Christian Is In
tho statement of the text. Tho Importance
of the itcxt lies In the fact that It declares
tho reputation .vhlch the early disciples of
(Antloch made In the community. The term,
then, gave a status to a class. It waB given,
not by a Jew. for that would havo been to
acknowledge the claim of tho 'Messiah; not
by a Christian, for they used other names,
but by some Greek wit who characterized
tho believers In Jesus ns the annolnted ones,
or Christians."
Tho preacher then described tho way In
which a Crock would find his curiosity
nwakenod and would visit tho little Chris
tian company, what ho would hear there
and tho general effect produced upon his
mind.
"(lathering In the court of a spacious
house," ho resumed, "wcro Greeks and Jews
waiting for tho mcssago of tho small man,
I'aul, who sat upon tho raised floor at the
end of tho court. When ho spoko ho bold
up Christ as tho object of thought. Ito
had coiiin us tho ono groat power to unite
mankind. Tho Greeks were famllinr with
the cxtenal unity of tho Horn an empire, but
hero was tho powor that was to unite tho
hearts of men In the bands of lovo. He
would then 'tell them that tho Christ enmo
to make men sco God, to speak tho work
of God, and to dcclnro the purpose of God.
He would mako perfectly clear to tho Qreek
'that the ono supremo will In tho universe
Is the will of God, holding tho stars In their
courses, sending the (lowers through tho
grass, placing tho buds upon tho trees,
songs In tho throats of birds, the lovc-llght
In thq baby's oyes nnd dovotlon In tho
mother's heart. Within this will of God,
and only here, can man live."
i.Mr. Ueattlo then, used Plato's vision of
thn gods on n high festival, climbing to tho
very summit of tho domo of tho universe
nnd gazing upon tho depths of absolute
truth, What they remembered determined
their after life.
"Itemcmbcred truth Is tho key to char
acter," said he. "In tho early church they
remembered tho Iord Jesus nnd thcrcforo
he becamo tho power of Jesus. Doforo tho
vision of the Christ these men beenmo
Ohrlsted; boforo tho vision of Christ men
still becomo Chrlsicd, nnnolnted with the
power to live n divine life."
Rev. Ilobcnt II. Ueattlo graduated from
Trlncoton university In 1885. Ho then went
to Servla nnd for four years taUght In tho
Protestant collcgo t Beirut. Returning to
Princeton Bemlnary ho graduated In' 1801
nettling Immediately nftorwnrd In Nctv
burgh, whero ho assumed tho pastorate of
tho American Reformed church. Ills work
In Newburgh was Interrupted by n year's

women, representative of tho membership
ot the Young Men's Christian association,
the Young Women's Christian association
and tbo various denominational churches,
alilo ttpeakcrd paid tribute to tho memory
of Dwlght I. Moody Sunday afternoon. Tho
meeting was held In the nudltorlum ot the
Young Men'.s Christian Association build

of tho lato Mr. Moody, and tho addresses
nil mcniorallzed certain characteristics' ot
tho famous evangelist nnd Sunday school
worker.
Rev. Dr. Hubert C. Herring of the First
Congregational church presided. Seated on
tho platform with him wero a number of
tho promlnont ministers of the city, repre
senting tho various I'rotcstant denominn
Hons, and tho speakers.
Hon. Warren Swltzler, the Mrnt speaker,
spok of Mr. Moody from tho standpoint
of a layman. His address was an entertain
Ing epitome of Mr. Moody's career. He j
spoke of his early occupation and his sub
sequent entry Into Sunday school and
evangelical work, paying particular atten
tion to tho marvelouo succcbs which had
nttended nil his efforts, "Mr. Moody," he
Hald, "was In every sense a layman. Ho
frequently corrected persons who desig
nated him ns the 'reverend,' preferring at
all tlmrn to bo plain ' "Mr." Moody, a Sun
day school worker from Chicago.' "
The speaker told two Incidents character
Iftlo of Mr. Moody and his faith In the
efllcacy of prayer. In each of which cases
oiled the nuswer subsequently nppenrod.
Mr. Swltzler commented upon the training
schools nt Chicago nnd Northfleld estab
lished by Mr. Moody, "but." ho said, "tho
greatest monument left by him Is the Im
prceslon upon tho hcarto of tho people nnd
tho good ho has accomplished in tho cause
of Christ.
"Tho greatest characteristic of Mr. Moody
In his career Is what he has accomplished
toward harmonizing all the various denomi
nations Into ono mighty organization, In
making It the rule rather than tho excep
tion for tho ministers of tho various
churches to meet upon the aame platform, In
bringing together tho members of different
congregations and .believers In various
creeds, by opening the doors of hit blblo
training school to English students, thus
cementing tho United State and England
together In a spiritual bond. If he had

less to remind Methodists that tholr de

Rev C U. Allen. Jr., !. D.. pastor of tho

morning text John xl. 39: "Jesus said, Talto
ye away tho stone."
In substnnce Dr. Allen i-ald: "Jesus raised
Laiarus from tho dead and this miracle U
llko many others wrought by our Iord.
Lazarus Is a type of tho unconverted; they
arc dead In trespass and In sin. Wo can

others, but there a no degrees In death.

over the death ot our loved ones. Do wo
over grlovo over their spiritual death? This
miracle Illustrates tho method of Jesus In
saving souls and It Is a method of co-opera
tion. He brought .Uizarus back to life, but
ho asked tho bystanders ito roll nway the
stone before his grave, He caused the blind
man to bathe In the pool of Slloam berore
ho would restore his sight. We Interpret

Continuing, the speaker dwelt at length on
tho efllcacy of prayer. "1 challenge any one
to point ito a solitary Instance In the his
tory of tho Christian church," said he, "of
any great awakening of Christians or any
great work cf saving souls that did not be
gin and was not continued In prayer. Some
times souls ore not converted when God's
people pray, but they aro never converted
when they do not pray."

WASHINGTON", Feb. 16.-(Speelal Corre
"Potidence.) "Daughters of the American
Revolution want to know If this docs not ap
pro.ich very near sacrilege: A couple of
horse breeders of Iowa have Just purchased
ISO acres of tho Mount Vernon estate, where
Georgo Washington used to Indulge In a bit
of extravagance ns n gentleman farmer, and
are about to establish n racehorse breeding
establishment there. Judgo Yeomans of the
lntcrstnto Commerce commission Is one ot
tho parties, and when the Daughters meet
mu lull urn, mill . Ml II Ktiv i;niiKunia
" Washington City on the
S2d Inst, he may hear something drop from
theso women, In convention assembled."
The above paragraph appeared In the New
York Times of Sunday last. It Is rather nn
old story, this purchase of a portion of the
Washington estate near Mount Vernon by
Mr. Yeomnns of the Interstate Commerce
commission, for the negotiations wero com
pleted nt least three mouths atfo. The River
farm, which Is the property purchased by
Mr. Yeomnns, wns n port of the obi Wash
ington estate. When Washington was liv
ing his plantation consisted of something
llko 10,000 ueres, but years ago It was cut
up. A portion uf It lying on Hunting creek,
which divides the River farm from Mount
Vernon proper, and comprising about 200
acres, has for several years been owned by
a gentleman of Washington, who built a re
sort for excursionists thcro a few years
ago. Ten or twelve years ago, a bookmaker
who wanted a quiet place to which to retlro
with n few of his friends, bought 112 acres
of the River farm, put up expensive build
ings, brought tho land up to a high state of
cultivation nnd expended probably $20,000
or more on the place. It was used for the ac
commodation of his friends of sporting pro
clivities and was nlso maintained ns n small
breeding farm. He grew tired of his pur
chase last year and offered It for sale for
less than a "half of what It cost him.
Judgo Yeomnns hns a lioy of about 11 or
15. who lived on n farm all his life until he
came to Washington nnd city llfo Is Irksome
to tho youngster because of his familiarity
with outdoor life. Moro for tho boy's bene
fit than for uny other reason Judgo Yeomans
made this purchase. He hns n largo estato
In Onawn, la., and recently shipped a enr
load or two of horses to tho east to bo Bold.
This shipment led to the report that he
proposed to go extensively Into breeding
horses on part or tue nut w usiiiiikuhi num.
Judge Yeomans is somewhat exercised over
the notoriety which this smau purcuunu n
brought to him. Ho says that If tho
Daughters of the itevoiuuon or
hn.lv nf natrlotlc persons desire tho rescue
of lands once belonging to the father cf his
country from thn ownership of ordinary citi
zens, ho Is perfectly wining io sen im-m ui
holdings. On the other hand, If tho regents
of Mount Vernon desire to dispose of the
homestead ot tho lato lamented Georgo, he
Is willing to buy It at a resonablo figure.
Tho Yeomans farm Is simply a country
residence for ono ot tho officials whoso duties
occupy him In Washington and tho fuss
which has been mado over tho purchase Is
due solely to the fact that the property was
once owned by Georgo Washington, but
there Is no more reason why any more ex
citement should bo created at tho present
Ume than there was at tho time the title ot
tho estato ilrst passed out of tho asking
ton family to any persons who would like to
purchase It,

Tho death of Congressman Charles A.
m.inrimr on Tuesday morning takes from
MM.hinstnn llfo a man who for four years

contact. He never let an opportunity pass
for making llfo easier and more worm u
ing for thoso around him, and at the same
tlmo he never lost a chanco to play a Joke
on his friends.
Ono Instanco was when some yeai a
worked a mild Joke off on Representative
Hull of Iowa. The two wcro going to tho
Chicago fair together In 1803 and Chicker
Ing pulled a knlfo from his pocket which
wus provided with a hook ior nreaiuuK n.

bv the knife and asked the use of tho hook.
Ti.nt Kald Ch ckerlug, "is a very nanny
deviro. It Is for the purpose of pulling a
stcno or other obstruction rrom a norse b
hoor." Hull expressed n desire to obtain
one like It, when Chlckerlng generously
gave It to him. In explnlnlng tho merits
of this part of tho knife to his wife when he
cot home he found that Mrs. Hull knew more

about It man ue urn. "' .

Chlckerlng. during his congressional car
ner lived at the Hamilton hotel. For two
or threo years ho supplied tho guests of that
hostelry with cigars after dinner. One night
as he told the story, after passing around
the weeds and securing commendation for
the merits, he said: "They ought to bo good;
I ralsud that tobacco myself upon my farm
In Lewis county. My hired mnn Is an In
genious Indlvdunl and on rainy days, when
he has nothing else to do, ho goes out In the
barn nnd rolls up cigars." Mr. Chlckerlng
allirms that after ho told that yarn ono after
tho other of bin colleagues went to tho door,
surreptitiously threw their cigars Into the
gutter and then bought fresh ones nt the
desk. "That mild lie," he said, "saved mo
at least threo boxes a week."

compelled to resort to nil kinds of question
ablo practices to secure tho necessary as
sistance. Stenographers employed were re
corded as "folding 100.000 documents" and
messengers were put down as laborers In
the senate stables.
Colonel Richard J. Bright began, ns soon
ns ho was inducted Into olllce, to clean
these augean stables. He insisted that
every man who drew pay for any work
must perform that work and that each In

Within a month hu had abolished the sine

Having established a syBtem Colonel
Bright kept his employes nt work constantly

lncestant labors Is that the senato Is the
best organized branch of tho government
service today. Every employe knows Just'
what is required of him and each ono re

Mr. Madden, third assistant postmaster
general, has Introduced an Innovation b

most popular thing of bis administration.
It Is 'he Issuance of stamps in hook form, at
so small nn advance In cost that the public
will tladly pay tho difference In exchange
for the grtat convenience! It obtains.
For u long tlmo tho othco of the third as
sistant postmaster general, which has chargo
of postage stamps, has been considering a
means whereby the great annoyance of
stamps stuck together rould be overcome.
Shortly after General Madden came Into
ofuco this subject was called to his attention
5ml, realizing Its Importance to the people,
he procecdel to perfect his plans. He
thought a modest thick paper with alter
nating leavco of stamps and parafllna papsr,
would auswer all requirements. Slnco that

so ns to permit printing on the cover of
the book a succinct statement of the postal
rates In the United Statw and foreign coi'ii-

Tho book will be of convenient size to
carry In the pocket, and will contain stamps
to the amount ot 24 cents, 48 cents and 96

Is all that Is to bo charged tho general pub
