Pastor Rus- ecll of Brooklyn Tnburnuclo preached hero twice to < tny to large audiences. \Vc report one of tils discourses from the above text. He said In part : Out1 of the wonderful things about the Bible and the Christianity foundi-d upon the Hlblo'H teachings IB the fact Unit It contains BO much sympathy comfort for the bereaved , the Borrow ing , the troubled.

Hut our great Adversary , Satan , nooks to make the light appear dark 11 nd the darkness appear light. He necks to negative the testimonies of Ood'B Wool , and. to a very great de gree , his deceptions have been success ful , ( IB is witnessed by the creeds of Christendom. Practically all of our creedR , evcu though they assert that God Is gracious , merciful , kind and loving , contradict this description of him and his Plan for humanity in monstrous terms , fiendish in the ex treme. The majority of creeds tell us of his forcordinatlon and pre-arrange- mcut of whatsoever comes to PUBS and that this signifies that a saintly hand ful will gain eternal life in joy in heaven , and that the unsaintly thou- ennds of millions of heathendom and Christendom are equally foreordained to spend an eternity of torture fore known , forclntcnded ami provided tor before their creation. Is there com fort In this ? IB such a plan God-like or Satanic ? Could any Intelligent and good being rejoice In such a plan of damnation or sincerely worship an Al mighty God who would so misuse 111 * unlimited power to distress his crea tures , "born in sin. shapen in iniquity : In sin did their mothers conceive them ? " The minority of Christian creeds de clare the same results , but that they were not designed of God. not fore known by him. not predestinated. They tell us In other words that we have an incompetent God. well-meaning , but deficient in wisdom and in power. Is there any comfort In this ? Would It nssuage the grief and pain of those suffering In eternal torment if they , -could t ! > assured thnt their lot was such , not because of Divine premedita tion and design , but because of Dlvlnp Incompetence ? Surely there Is no corn- fort to he had from * uch a view ! After nil. we Protestants did not make mut-h of an Improvement upon the theory held by our forefathers against which we protested In the six teenth century. Surely purgatorial tortures of a few centuries are no worse , no less comforting than our Protestant conceptions of an eternity of torture for all the non-elect Our Catholic forefathers manufactured Purgatory - gatory without a shred of Scripture upon which to base the theory. They built it In their Imaginations ; they in vented its tires and tortures. "Our Protestant forefathers , using their Im aginations , gave us an eternal torment hell not more tangible , not more Scrip tural than Purgatory. They did in deed use a Scriptural term sheol. hades , hell but. overlooking the fact that these words all signify the state of death , the condition of the dead , they wrested the language and warped it in an unscriptural manner to signify torture. The penalty or "wage of sin Is death. " They made of It torture everlasting , without the slightest au thority of Scripture except a mlsundpr- Htood and misapplied parable , which , rightly understood , teaches a totally different lesson. The false Gospel has surely lost its power. People are becoming too intelligent to endure It. As a consequence attendance at Churches Is decreasing and reverence for God Is diminishing. Infidelity , call ed Higher Criticism , etc. . is increasing. The need of the hour Is the Gospel of comfort. St. Paul declares what we all know , namely , that "the whole creation groaneth and travalleth In pain together until now waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God. " Here we see the necessity for this Gospel of comfort. We see also that God has provided it and that it is coming to the world in the end of this Age. In the dawning of the new Age. It will come to the world In general ns soon ns the elect Church shall have been selected and. by the "First Res urrection" power , glorified with her Lord as his Kingdom class , as the glorified sons of God. whose mission It will be to bless all the families of the earth. "Father of Mercies God of All Com fort. " When St. Paul says. "Knowing the terrors of the Lord. " be evidently re fers to the fact that our Creator has declared that ' 'the wage of sin Is death" mot eternal torment ) ; that "the eoul that sinnoth. It shall die" ( not live in torment ) ; that "all the wicked will God destroy" ( not preserve in fire ) ; and that only such as come fate vital relationship with the Redeemer can j have everlasting life. Knowing these things respecting the Divine govern ment we persuade men everywhere , "He ye reconciled to God" and thus attain the only eternal life which he promised. Out , on the other band , note the kindly description of our God which oou ' u miAjioMtip rurnisnes. "messed be God. even the Father of our Lord JCSUH Christ , the Father of mercies , the God of nil comfort ; who coin- fortcth us In all of our tribulation , that we may be able to comfort them that are in any tribulation , by the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted of God. For as the suffer ings of Christ abound In us , so our comfort also aboundeth by Christ. And whether we tie nflllcted , It Is for your comfort and salvation or whether we be comforted. It Is for your comfort and salvation. know , ing that as ye are partakers of the sufferings , so shall ye be also of the comfort" ( II Corinthians I. 3-7) ) . What n wonderful statement respect ing the Divine intentions for the com fort of the world and the comfort of the Church , all proceeding from "the God of all comfort" Nothing written in any sacred books of any people at any time reveals such n God as the God of the Bible n God Infinite in Justice. Wisdom. Power and Love. It Is he that is "working all things ac cording to the counsel of his own good will , " for the ultimate comfort and salvation of as many of his creatures as will accept his favors , after being brought to a knowledge of the Truth respecting them. The Church is now comforted during this Gospel Age ( saved to the highest plane of the heavenly nature ) and during the com ing Age the world is to be comforted and saved to the human nature aa many as will. For the world this means the glorious opportunity of the mediatorial reign of Christ which will constitute their time of restitution , up lifting , resurrection to all that was lost In Adam and redeemed by the precious blood of Christ ( Acts Hi. 10-21) ) . "Comfort With These Words. " In order to appreciate the meaning of our text we must consider the words of the Apostle preceding it. be ginning with the 13th verse. He de clares. " 1 would not have you to be Ignorant , brethren , concerning them which are asleep , that ye sorrow not. even a # others which have no hope. " All Christian people agree that the word sleep here refers to those who died. They are not asleep in heaven , of course , for there all is wakefulness and Intelligence and joy. They are not asleep in Purgatory , of course , for. according to our Catholic friends , sleep there would be nn impossibility. They are not asleep in an orthodox hell. tor. according to the description given by Protestants , none could sleep there. Where , then , are those who are "asleep" ? St. Paul says that we should not be Ignorant concerning them. Have we not been ignorant in the past foolishly ignorant ? We have Ignored the Apostle's words entirely. We have refused to believe that any are asleep and claim that all are nwal'e. alive a few in heaven , the many In Purgatory or eternal torture. But St. Paul was right ! The entire Bible teaches that all who die fall asleep. Thus we learn of St. Stephen , the first Christian martyr , that he "fell asleep" ( stoned to death ) . We read of the good and bad. kings and peasants , falling asleep in death. We read that King David slept with his fathers- some of them good , some of them bad. We read that Abraham slept with his fathers some of them heathen. The Bible tells us where they sleep and that they will all be a wakened from the sleep of death in due time in the resurrec tion , during Messiah's reign of a thou sand years. The Prophet declares that "Many that sleep In the dust of the earth shall awake , some to life ever lasting and some to shame and lasting contempt" ( Daniel sll. 2) ) . Those who wIM be awakened from the sleep of death unto resurrection of life will be the blessed and holy , the saintly , who will be associated with Messiah In the Kingdom work for the blessing and uplifting of the non-elect. Those who will be awakened from the sleep of death to shame and age-last ing contempt will be the non-elect world. Their shame will be In proportion tion as they have enjoyed light , knowl edge and opportunity and have failed rightly to appreciate and use these. They will have contempt from their fellows. In proportion as their short comings of the present time will be shown up. Many highly esteemed amongst men will be awakened to that shame and age-lasting contempt. But their case will not be a hopeless one. Much of their weakness and derelic tion were the result of Adam's trans gression and the sinful conditions which have resulted. Including unfa vorable environment. God has pro vided in Christ redemption for all from the sins and weaknesses resulting from Adam's disobedience and thus the entire race of Adam Is guaranteed an Individual trial under favorable conditions for life everlasting or death everlasting. All who will render obedience to tbp taws and regulations of Messiah's Kingdom will begin to rise up. up , up , out of their fallen , degraded condition of sin , and be brought back to all that was lost In Adam und redeemed at Calvary. In proportion as they will retrace their steps and como back into Divine fellowship their shame will de crease and their contempt also. Final ly in the consummation of that age all who will may have attained full res toration and regeneration and free dom from shame and contempt. The unwilling ana tiisoiicdicnt und retici- llous will be destroyed ! the Second Death "twice dead , plucked up by the " of further roots"-wltliout hope any resurrection or restitution. "Comfort With These Words. " j St. Paul urges that Christians should ' not be ignorant concerning those who are asleep that they "sorrow not even ns others who have no hope. " It N I bad enough to think of millions of the ' heathen as being totally extinct , hopelessly - ' lessly dead , without any prospects of n roKurieotlon. The same would he true respecting our neighbors and friends , parents and children , brothers ' and Bisters , who are not saintly , who ! are not in "Christ Jesus , " who are not walking after the Spirit , who are not heirs of God and joint-heirs with .lesim ! Christ our Lord. And If it would be ' a sore trial to think of them us utterly - ! ly destroyed In death and without hope of resuscitation , resurrection , how I much worse would It have been when , ' In our misunderstanding of God's plans. j we thought of them as being in either | Purgatory or eternal torture. Such a | false conception of the Divine plans Is even worse than to believe them with out hope and extinct The Apostle proceeds to point out the basis of this hope in these words , "If we believe that Jesus died and rose again , even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring ( from the dead ) with ( by ) him" ( I Thessalonlaus Iv , Ml. So , then , the Apostle declares , the resurrection hope Is the Christian hope , and the basis of the hope of this resur rection is that Jesus died that he might be man's rnnsomer that he arose from , the dead that he might be the great j Deliverer of mankind , the Prophet. Priest and King of God , and that he might gather to himself the elect Church , the Bride , the Lamb's Wife , asuls _ Joint-heir. Christians , of course , in thinking of the resurrection of the dead , would pri marily , chiefly , consider their dear ones of the household of faith ; hence the Apostle continues his argument , saying , that those of the Church living at the time of the Second Advent will not precede or hinder those members of the Church who have died during the past centuries , for the dead in Christ shall arise first shall be awak ened first from the sleep of death. "Them That Sleep In Jesus. " We cannot think that the Apostle re fers merely to the Church in this case , for uniformly. In speaking of the resur rection of the dead , he refers both to the Church and to the world , the "resurrection of the just and of the unjust. " So In this case he evidently refers both to the Church and to the world as "asleep In Jesus. " The ex pression will be noted as different from another one of his respecting those who "sleep In Christ. " The latter ex pression evidently refers to the Church ns the glorified members of The Christ. But in speaking of those asleep In Jesus he evidently has reference to the whole world of mankind. The whole world died In Adam without having u voice in the matter of their birth or trial or condemnation. "Condemnation came upon nil because of one man's disobedience. " Likewise Justification is to pass upon all of our race through the precious merit of Christ's sacrifice. The fact that he "died , the Just for the unjust. " constitutes his death a satis- 1 faction price for the sins of the whole ' world. I ; From this standpoint , therefore , the I whole world not only died In Adam , but now sleeps or waits unconsciously for n resurrection of the dead through the merit of our Redeemer's sacrifice. If we believe that Christ died for our sins and laid the foundation thus for his great work of blessing the world of ] mankind , Including the Church , the first-fruits , let us believe also that God who began his good work will not stop until be shall have brought forth Judgment unto victory until all the re deemed world shall be brought to a knowledge of the Redeemer and of the Heavenly Father and to nn opportunity for life everlasting through obedience. The world died in " Adam-"In Adam all die. " Jesus Is the Redeemer of the world. "Even so all in Christ shall be made alive. " The message has reached the Church only , as yet. In due time It will reach every member of the race. The Church is already reckonedly quickened from the dead by the holy Spirit and will shortly be born from the dead in the "First Resurrection. " The world , therefore , from the Divine standpoint is not dead in Adam now. but merely islcep In Jesus , waiting for the glori ous time when , his Kingdom establish ed , he shall call all mankind from the prison-house of death , from the tomb , that each may learn to the full of the grace of God in Christ , and have op portunity for attaining life everlasting These are the words in which we are to comfort one another words of hope respecting the resurrection of the dead , both the Just and the unjust words of sympathy , words of assurance , words that show that God is better than all our fears ; that yet in a little while he that shall come will establish his Kingdom first the Church in glory and secondly Israel and all the fam ilies of the earth through them. Every thing connected with the Divine mes sage is full of hope , full of encourage ment , full of blessing , to those In the condition to receive U. Doubled In Value. A Mtssourlan who bought some Texas land and wanted to unload it told a prospective buyer that it had "doubled In value since I bought It" "But" ' said the other , "you offered to sell it to me for the same price you paid. How has it doubled In value ? " "Wei ] , you see , I gave twice as much as it was worth. " Kansas City Star. Exchange of Compliments.

Back Into Old Italy. Florence , Italy , Aug. 4. Special to The News : We are in the good old summer weather now and it Is real hard on us , since we have spent so much time in the snow in the Alps and Apennines. On leaving Trent we went into Ven ice , that charming city built upon the Adriatic sea , and you must remember that In this wonderful city you hear no sound of tramping horses or roll ing wheels , but leisurely you see the black gondolas plying up and down the three hundred canals that form the streets of this ancient capital of the Venetian republic. Everything In this town Is amusing. The people are so friendly and they act like they had known you for years. The little streets are often two feet wide and crooked as a coiled snake , and the little bazaars remind one of children's play stores. Yet in this fascinating city far , far away from America , we met more native people who spoke English than we found in Berlin , Dres den or Munich. The most attractive thing In Venice is to take a gondola In the evening and go out on the Grand canal and hear the splendid concerts given by Venetian musicians. The stars shine , the naming lights glisten over the water and the music mellow as a sum mer dream peals from shore to shore. Venice Is a city of factories , such as glass , porcelain , pottery , knives and antiquities of various kinds , yet It Is said that one-third of .the inhabitants of Venice are beggars , nnd I believe that this Is true. From Venice we went to Padua , a city of 50,000 people , the oldest city In the north of Italy , and its founda tion was ascribed by Virgil to Ante- nor. There Is an old cathedral in the city built In 13SO , and also a thriving university. Passing on southward from Padua we stopped at Ferrnra , situated near the Po river. The main streets are broad , well paved and flanked with good houses and shops. But the side streets are grass-grown nnd dirty. The School of Painting is noted in history , and the names of students have held the foremost rank , such as Coslmo Turn , Ercole Grand ) , Lorenzo Costa , Dosso Dossl , and Gar- ofalo. Then , the city has given ref uge to such pioneers of religious lib erty as Calvin and it was the birth place of Savonarola , Arlosto spent his youth here and Titian oftrn found employment In the town. Lord Byron also lived here , and TUBBO was Im prisoned In the St. Anna hospital. It was captuted by the" Austrliins In l 4 ! > , but given up by them In I860. Our next Important stop was Bo logna , n place of 140.000 people and nn Important railroad center. This Is the capital of Emilia nnd the seat of the university , which was founded In the fifth century. There Is a fine na tional art gallery In the city. High Taxes Make Beggars. Our next stop was nt Porrotta , a \ I city noted for Its baths nnd mineral springs. Here we saw 3,000 Italian toldlers camped for the summer , and i I may add , if Italy did not keep so ! [ many soldiers , there would not be so 1 many beggars nnd paupers , for the taxes of this little kingdom are un bearable by these downtrodden peo- | i : pie , yet there is no hope ahead nnd rte light of H better day. 1 am not surprised that there are BO many nn- j : archlsts developing in Italy. The re- I strlcted measures In business are un just and unfair. As nn example , we I i were met nt the station by the pro- [ I prletor o' our hotel in his own car- | rluges , but because these did not con tribute tips to the police for driving in the station yard , the policemen come out nnd cursed them very ve- hemently. .lust think of human beings who must submit to such Indignities. We passed on to Passe dell Abctone. a beautiful little city far up In the Apennlne mountains In fact , this IB the highest summit of this range and after all It Is wonderful how the trains wind up among these lofty peaks. Looking below we see the \alleys , rich In fruit and grain , hut the peaks are mostly barren , with scattered shaggy trees along the ridges. Our next leap was to Pistola , a city which was anciently the capital of a little republic which was conquered by Florence in 1351. Many line churches and palaces now In ruins attest the former greatness of this capital. The manufactured articles produced here are silk and linen goods and pistols , Its name being derived Irom these weapons. Each day the charms of these old cities grow upon us and it is won derful how things remain the same for one or two thousand years. Even the agricultural tools and the manner of life could not have been much more primitive than that seen in many cities today. Yet in the face of all this , the people s'eem ' happy , and the typical Italian generally wears a smile , whether dressed in rags or in broad cloth. It seems a part of their nature to look happy. It was just last evening that I saw an old woman who sells matches on the street , and her little boy fast asleep on a doorstep , no doubt wear ied with the trade of a few centeslmi for the day , they had fallen Into that land that has few ills and troubles. Continuing our journey southward , we have reached the beautiful city of Florence. In point of art and sculp ture masterpieces this is one of the richest cities in the world. For ex ample , there is In the Vecchio palace a statue of a small boy holding a fish , which Is so arranged that the water from the fountain pours out of the fish's mouth , nnd this little statue , two feet high , is valued nt $2,000,000. In fact , the Smithsonian Institute of Washington offered this large sum for It , but the money was refused. The City of Florence. Florence is a noted city because of Its past history nnd the noblemen who have lived here. It was the home of Dante , Michel Angelo , Zanobl , Romola , Corilla , Macchivelli , Rossini , Galileo and also Amerigo Vespucci , the Amer ican discoverer , besides many more who were just as illustrious as these named. We stood upon the very spot where the great preacher and reform er Savonarola was burned because he dared to reprove the Florentines of their sins and to speak what he be lieved to be true. After he was burned his ashes were thrown In the Arne river and borne away to the Medit erranean sea to await the resurrection day. day.Or Or tne noted buildings 1 may men tion the cathedral , Vecchio palace , Campanile , Baptistery , Ufflzi picture gallery , the famous Plttl palace , Church of Saint Lorenz , of the Annun- ziata , Saint Croce , Maria Novella , pal ace of Rlccardi , Bargello , and the Ponte Vecchio , the wonderful bridge which links the Uifizi and the Pltti pal aces together. We were very fortunate to be in Florence when the beautiful Boboli gardens were open , which happens only two days during each week. We were guests at the Hotel Jennings Riccloli , which was once a famous old palace , and what a fine time we did have here. It was indeed a palace ho tel and we have lived high for the few days we have been here. Florence Is surrounded with beau tiful mountains which at the foot are skirted with hundreds of olive groves , most of which fruit is shipped to America. Italy is also ff land of vine yards , for hill after hill and mountain after mountain are covered with ele gant grapevines. Florence is a city of 250,000 people and Is a great center for the manu facture of Jewelry , much of which also goes to America. Today I met Miss Long , the charming daughter of Dr. Long of Madison , Neb. Miss Long re marked that she had read a number of the letters In The Norfolk News from the pen of the special correspon dent before she left her homo In June , and enjoyed them immensely. It seemed like a letter from homo to meet one from Madison. Miss Lonp was happy and said she was having a splendid time. Another of my party had "a loss at Florence. This time it was an old lady , who lost her American express checks , about $130 , and all the money she had , No trace can he found ol the checks , but the company Buy they will refund the money to her , und this cheers her up. Dr. Rny Feels for Mormons. Wo really have a circus at times , bocuiiM ! never u day goes by but what somebody gets lout from the party , and I urn sure 1 can't sec * how Brlgham Young ever got on with his forty wives , for most men find it takes all they can do to support one. But wo are ready to leave Florence and must hasten on to Rome , where we stop several days. Located as Florence IK , on the Arne river , It IB very beautiful and we are all only too horry to leave no soon. But "duty calls and we must go. " Charles Wnyno Hay. Sorrento , Italy , Aug. 8. We are still going south and leaving Florence we went to Rome , the capital of Italy. Here we left our baH uge nnd went .in to Naples for we return to Rome ifter a few days. Naples IB especially beautiful , be cause of the magnificent scenery In and around the bay which Is so charm- ng that the poet has written "See Naples and die. " This Is a city of 600,000 people and It Is a great sea port town. The National museum and the Cas tle of Saint Elmo are well worth a visit. Thieves , Beggars , Anarchists. Of all the cities In Italy this is the ilace of thieves , beggars and anarch- sts. And really after you go through the tenement districts , IIH 1 have done five times , you will not wonder that .he above Classes exist In large num bers. But I must say that the upper class of Italians are very line people and deserve our best prayers. Then : here Is , 1 believe , a large class of aborlng people , who are very poor , but who are striving to make an hon est living. From Naples we took an excursion o Posillipo a beautiful city high up above Naples , from this summit one can see far over the bay that lies be neath. In Posllilpo is a magnificent Bgyjitinn marble tomb built for him self by Barone Schlllzzi with a large lomc that cost two million francs. Our next stop was at Pompei , the ruined city that was destroyed com pletely by Vesuvius in 7'J A. D. , and the city remained buried for 1,700 years , and was discovered by Joseph fjorelli. And even now only two-fifths of the ruins have been excavated , al though the work is still progressing. In going over the old ruins we saw the relics of many noted houses. Among these are the Temple of Apol- o , Fortune , Jupiter , Isis , the Greek Forum , Comls theater , court of jus tice , Tragic theater , houses of Rufus , Fnnno , Centenario Tragic poet , Sur geon Slrico , Adonis , Apollo , Vetti and Villa of 'Dlomede. It is said of Pompei that it was the miniature of the civilization of that ge. And here within the narrow com pass of its walls was contained , a specimen of every gift which luxury offered to power. In Its glittering , but minute shops , its tiny palaces , Its baths , Its theaters , its forums , there was energy , yet corruption , there was refinement , yet vice , which was be- lield as a model of the whole empire , in which the heathen gods seemed to marshal all the energies of evil and corruption. And yet llk a flash of lightning this sinful , flourishing city was buried n a day with abbes and lava from Vesuvius , so that It was hidden for many centuries , only to be discover ed by mere accident. Thus cities rise and fall. After a careful examination of the ruins in this unfortunate city we took a fast express for La Cava del Tir- reni , a city of 23,000 people in the midst of an elegant mountain scenery. While In La Cava we were guests at the grand hotel Victoria , which was in ideal hotel. This hotel was for merly a royal palace in the Sixteenth century. It was built by Barone Gael- ano Filangieri and was occupied by liim for many years , but as he was a military man the reverses of war and the failure of his expeditions re sulted In the loss of his property , and at last he died a discouraged and dis appointed man. After his death the palace passed through many hands until at last it was turned into a ho tel. It is a large four-story marble house with corridors , reception rooms , par lors , : reading rooms and private dinIng - Ing rooms. It is not only mammoth , but It is also beautiful. There are three large fruit nnd flower gardens connected with it , so that you see lemons , oranges , figs , pears , peaches , and other fruits , and even flowers , nil growing in the same garden. Thus It Is most Interesting , attrac tive nnd comfortable. The house Is kept by Mr. nnd Mrs. R. Aplcella. He Is nn Italian , and she is a Swiss wo man. man.More than this Mr. Aplcella is n fiend on relics , and thus has room af ter room , and case after case , full of pictures , coins , dishes , statues and swords , In fact , almost everything , so that he has n most enjoyable museum. Treated Like Kings. Here we were treated like real kings and queens , and we were made very welcome. And If my readers ever go to La Cava , I most highly recommend the Hotel Victoria. I hired five carriages for n coaching trip of fifty miles to Sorrento. This Is considered the famous Italian drive. Passing up and down the mountains you see all the possible beauty of the terraced orange and lemon gar dens , and thousands of vineyards. About half way to Sorrento we came to Arnold , a very ancient town , and , at one time It was so powerful as to offer resistance to the Norman rulers of Naples , and to the Plsans. And at that time had 00,000 Inhabitants , and also possessed one of the finest navies in the world , It seems that the downfall - fall was due somewhat to natural About Pepper lI EAT develops the cxqul- * 1 site flavor of pepper.

IOWA limm it ftuttti On Emu CMIU causes. A fearful Inundation In the Fourteenth century and a succession of disatrous landslips completely wrecked the town. Amnlfl Is now a town of about 7.000 people. It has a good trade in macatonl , Boap and pa per. Our drive continued on to Sorrento , a distance of fifty miles , and for thirty miles the road led along the Mediter ranean sea. The toad Is simply a PUSH , blasted out In the rocks , nnd cut through the mountains , and It Is a magnificent trip. We wound our way up one road above another until at last we reached the summit nnd could survey the landscape o'er. Then we descended the hills until WP came low In the valley among the orange and lemon groves , splendid to behold.
