The capacity ot Trinity cathedral was taxed lust night by the audience that gathered to hoar tlio last of Dean Gard ner's advent sui-mons , The sermon , from tliu text found In lliu llilrly-tliinl verso of tlic twenty-third chapter of Matthews , "How Can You Kscapo the Damnation of Hell1 is briefly outlined as follows : I would approach this subject with feollnps of awe mid satlncs * . I wuuld approach It only because Us consideration Is .1 part of my duty , l cannot brlnjr myself willingly to say much orxpwiK often on tills dismal topic. 1 do not think innrli of lhc.su penjilo who must 110 frightened atom : I ho way of righteousness by tin ; fcnr of an avenger behind them that haiijfs iiiion their footsteps. Hut because. It Is ono of ( ho truths of the bllilo I imt.sl not Hhrlnk from Us contemplation. And tlrst hell Is a ccrhdntv. Basing our conclusions on revelation wo find that In hundruds of places direct ami definite rcferenco Is made to hell In the bible , "Tho wicked shall bo turned Into bell and all the people that for- Kot ( ! od. " ICven our blessed S.ivlonr , from whose lips foil so elton words ot love and chailty. spoke unreserved and unequivocally regarding eternal penalty or pun ishment. It cannot bo called exactly a fundamental doelilno of tbo Christian faith. Hut more than this may liu wald of It , that a latcer pirt of thn Christian creed would not exist bad it not benn for the existence of a boll a power of evil. Thecxlstuncu of a law presupposed the need of a law. The facts ot the Incarna tion and tlic atonement are a statement of the awiul price paid lor something paid In the conmiot of Satan , the subverting of the power of bell. Secondly , hell Is Inevitable. Thorc must bo a boll. Tbo fact of heaven has Its coioll- ary In boll. It Is not a condition to which i > oor creatures are assigned by an arbitrary jmluo , but It Is a condition tlio conns of which are In human nature. Heaven or bell are already be un In us now. Contemplate the traitor .hulas , ot whom It was said when ho died that be bad mine to his own place. Think how splendidly hu had earned his wages of eternal death. Jealousy , theft , hypocrisy , lying , murder. What an Impulse tor eternity Ihoso awful sins bad given him. Thev had given him a certain headway or momentum. Thirdly , what Is bell ? It Is the opposite of heaven. We must not latub off tbo Idea of tbo existence of n hell because inanvof the ( statements eoiicernlnir It arc materialistic. Kternal lire , lalco of brimstone , etc. , are only ( strong expressions used to convey Impres sions. They are not exact descriptions. Wo nre In danger of losing faith In tbo real by our making a jest of tlio lUuratlvc. : Hull Is a condition of eternal separation from ( ! od and good. Think of what that means. Think of the intant in Its inintv and Hvycctnessl Think one you have "loved long since and lost awhile ! Think deeply of all tlio dearest , fondest ties of social and domestic llful Then fancy sepaiation , eter nal separation fumi these. Those of us who aio rnnnble of spiritual delights or whoso huhcst pk'asures are ( hose ( bat come 111 the exercise of mental or emotional powers , will understand the awful pain , tbo intolerable bitterness and anguish ot being forever obliged to consoit with tbo bestial depravity and degradation which can be found even here In Umalm. Fourthly Hell realized and foreseen awakens us to repentance and new life. To-day the voice of grace cries escape to the mountain. Tbo voice ot John Baptist rings out as of old at In Hothlehein , "Repent ye , for the kingdom of heaven Is at band. " It is the same message. The angel said escapn escape tlio burning of Sodom. Tlio I5ap- tlst repent and enter the kingdom of heaven. There may you learn tbo title beauty of holiness and the happiness of divine cooperation eration In your moral efforts. You will not live yourselves , but Christ shall In you the hope of glory. BAPTISM OK TI1K I1OHV GHOST. It Is titiscntinl to All Who Hope For Salvation. llov. Willnrd Scott prcnuhcd .yesterday morning from Matt. ! J:11 : , in the St. Mary's Avenue Congregational church. "I indeed bapti/c you with water unto repentance , but ho Hhall bapti/.o' you with the Holy ( Jhost and with lire. " There Is , then , another and a better baptism than that with water , whether it bo i > y sprinkling , pouring or immers ing , a baptism "with the Holy Ghost and with lire , " thn baptism , especially of Jesus , and , for my part , IdonotHo much care how tlio water has touched mo , or indeed whether as a last resort it has touched nip at all , provided this better baptism lists conic upon mo. In Buying this , I do not niako a Haunt at our usual Christian ordinance. It is a beautiful suggestive and obligatory sacra ment which no one has a right to deny or to omit , wlm accepts the atonement of Jesus as his hope and the commands of Jesus as his rule of life. Wo of tht ) ministry arc bidden preach and bapti/.e. You of the audience are bidden repent and bo baptized. Neither of us has any alternative in the matter. The ordiuancn is not advisory , prudential or local. It is mandatory , directory and universal. Christ did not leave on the earth a church as a matter of option , but of authority , and cvorv nun who has a hope of salvation through Jesus is under command to aeknowlodgo him by water , nor can any snob one hope for the divine blessing until he has oboyod. When 1 say , then , that it is a matter of less moment to mo whether I have re ceived the baptism with water than that with the. Holy Ghost. 1 speak only of degrees. One may bolter be bereft of the former than of tliu latter , yol , as people run. the former is tbo one em- phnsl/.od. We hav < i witnessed a combat imir iturersmco woworo able to dis tinguish between religious ideas. It has divided our minds , our homos , and our t'ommunitle.s. Jt has been exalted to a vHilc iiiffiim in religious faith. It has shut up the Lord's supper ( o some and from some , and , in Mime instances , lias striven to do the sanm ovuii with heaven , nrolhrt'ii , J bollovu this to bo wrong , and that wo aught to stop it. Tlmru is not a question in the whole twbjoct which bhonUI occupy the position with us of an article of faith. Vet they are annoying and dividing us. AItn \ our present scripture - turo In our hands wo. shall never agree as ' to the mutters : il issue. It must bo per mitted to each to bollevo and act for him- fielf , Let us then so act in fraternal fel lowship ami work together with common love and mutual .support for tliu water Is not saving. It but Dignities a salutation , iind that partakers ot a common .salvation are brethren , lint , beyond this , inferior baptism , which so exercise's us , Is another thu imptism "with the Holy Uhostand with lire" the baptism of Jesus ami if , con cerning Ihe former wo are too zealous , oeriaiiily concerning this latter wo are too indillbrent. Yet , it is thu baptism. That with water is of John and of the disciples. Jesus made almost no use ot It. There is .but one verse in the now testament which ovdn Migguitslhat ho over innploycd it. Hu committed it to men. The belter baptism he kept for himself. It Is thu unction from on high. No pas > .tor can bo its. medium. The high priest of the old Hebrew days was sot apart by three ceremonials the washing of water , the anoiuliug of oil and the sacrifice So those who enter Into the fullness of tbo Christian priesthood to day aru set apart by Ihc baplism of water , the bap tism of the Holy Ghost and the sacrillco of self In the service of Jesus. Most Christians have passed only the first. They have had no pontccnat. The endu ing from < ! od has not filled them. Hy the washing of water they may be sup posed to have become clean , but they have have not become warm. They arc cold clean but cold. They need to Ite sot on fire "To be ailama With the love of Jesus' name. " The while-robed In hoavcn are repre sented as pure because they have washed their robes , but they are not stolid white masks of purity" They sing hallelujah. They have received more than mere j-lonnslng. xJow , that Ibis possession is not more gonoiid among us is dne to several nat ural cuitves : 1. It Is not considered neces sary to salvation and people are willing to do witi' as lltllo religion in this life as will ansjver the purpose of saving. They wish to bo coed but not too good. It Is not convenient to be over religious. If the baptism of water will do the rest may bo deferred l .H it is specially needed. Hut what guarantee has any onu that his baptism al thn font was worthily received if It be never owned by the descent of the spirit ? The candidate may have been mlstakcnod and the clergyman may have done only _ as lie was requested. Who is to conlitm the ordinance V W ator may have lioen sprinkled on a sinning head who shall toll us ? The c is no continuation oxce.pt by the sending from on high , and if that comes not thu hope of safety is ill-cher ished. Whim Jesus was baptized thn dove of approval came -camo at once , and , alas I for him who hahad no ac knowledgment , of his repentance , except sued as the minister has boon able to irtve. 2. Hut our manner of social life is not favorable. A public ptofession is some thing of an ndvantage. It is re- spcctabic to bo u Christian if ono boars the honor lightly. A chief seat in tlio modern synagogue is still loved , at least on Sunday morning. Hut a further development oi grace inter feres. One cannot have much nso for prayer-meetings and revivals without losing ground , One's religion , like a turkey at Christmas , should not be over done , so , social religion is popular , while evangelistic religion is not. What a season wo are now approaching in mem ory of the birth of a Saviour ! How little lik'o what one would expect , who knew only tbo btory in Luke's gospel. The angels sanir "peace , " but our Christmas tide Is turmoil. Our hymnals say "joy , " but wo are worn out with anxiety and activity. The Magi brought worship , but wo herald the divine day with pop-corn , candy , pin-cushions , dainty aprons , sleigh-bells , ribboned whips and robes , and within the home , turkey , celery and cranberry-sauce. December is the month of burdens , when it should bo the blessed month. My religion is largely a religion of secularism. Wo do not wish tlio baptism of the spirit , and , like the des- ciploson Gallilcc , Jesus is not come to us , .and He will not come. There is no room for Him , bill there is need for Him , and our religion must pass on from the baplism of water to the bap- tim of the Holy Ghost before it shall have cither safety or power. It may bo convenient or inconvenient to do so , but it is right. U. Hut business calls arc pressing , and , to watch people , one would suppose that the first great commandment was "to do business' and that the second was like unto it , as though the whole of life was wrapped up in one word business. In a recent number of "Harper's Young People11 there is given an illustration of modern methods of trading which is lee daft to bo omitted. An old negro of a southern family has brought to the top "of the old cast hill"a great , roomy sleii , bis own make , as a present to bis mas ter's son. Poet , who complains that "it isn't ' built for speed not entirely" at which old Kctiben makes his 'rejoinder : "Dis ye.ro sled yent no time-serber. Yo senV Mursu Poet , dor yent no special reason fo' gcttin' to do bottom oblatluI. | 1 reckons do bottom ob dat olc East hill will las' till dis sled got dar every time ; dal bottom yent gwino to fall out. Dat a reg'lar Yankee trick to go jim-iam- mm' down dat hill , knocking obor obor.vl'ing on do road and gittm' dar bofo' oberynody else. Dis sled wasn't made on dat idee. " Yet that is just the Yankee method in vogue of doing busi ness , and where a man tries to be a Chris tian and a man of business at once the former duty is often left ill-cared for. It needs to bo said again and again that to business is not the first and great com mandment , but that it is to "hove the Lord thy God. " ami the proof that such a love is in the heart is found in the pres ence in us of the Holy Uhost , who is the divine witness in his people. To luck that presence is to laeo the evidence oo regeneration and all the waters of thy Allontic heaped in baptism upon ans candidate is lei a testimony ot onc'f right relation to ( ! od than the sense of this Divine indwelling. May God help us to seek and obtain that baptism ! DAXUKIt ANl > USH OI ? IlICHKS. The llov. O , .V. KitvItlKo'H Sermon nt tlio Se\vnrl Street M. 10. Clmroli. At the Sownril Street M. K. church yes terday morning , the pastor , Itev. C. W. Savidge preached an able sermon on the subject of "Tho Danger and Use of Riches. " The following Is an outline of the sermon from the text from Timothy. "Hut they that will bo rich fall into a temptation and a snare , but thou oh man of God lice these tldncs and follow after righteousness , goodness , faith , love , iKiticnco , incokness1 ; First wo sou God's ' estimate of money in Ibis toxt. God does not place money among the most precious things. Ho bays "wisdom is bolter than gold" in tbo Proverbs , Ho says , "A good name is rather to bo chosen than great riches , " 1'rov.21. . He sajH "Tho trial of our faith is more prec ious than Hold , " in 1st Peter 1-7. And he gives us the reasons for saying what ho does. He says , "Itlehes arc not abiding , " ( Prov. 23-5 , ) for riches certainly make themselves wings , they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. The ferryboat over the Jordan of death never carried anything heavier than an immortal soul. Another of his reasons is that riches don't tiutlMy "Ho thai loveth silver shall not bo satisfied with silver. " The best men ami women have agreed with God on this , George Ilurbo.rt says. "Gold llion may' that , " Mrs. llrownlng , in Aurora Leigh , says : "My soul is not a ] pauper , I can live without alms troiu men , ami it must bo in heaven instead of earth. 1-et heaven look to it , I am not afraid. " Looking into the text again wo PO that some determined tojio rich , they will bo rich. This was true when Paul wrote lo Timothy. It was true when John Wesley spoke to thu great crowds in Kncland , but it is more tritu than ovor. it is In Iho very air wo broatho. Money is as drunk now on nujuoy as men are on liquors. Our country furnUhos the greatest on portiinity for money gathennir. Now empires are snnncmg up richer than those of thn old Cea.surs. Mwi who will be rich aru founil oven wilhiii Iho pale of the church , and even practice the form ? of piety. Men bollevo tljat wealth , will bring them position , happiness and power , and many wish to leave their children woll- to-do , but Ike only .fortune you can'leavo your child is tile fortune you put In bis head and heart. Many who started rich sleep in the potter's field and in the suicidu'ti grave. Aguiu the lust tells m of the great rw evils resulting from the wrong use of money. Look at Alexander's history as recorded in the book- written by Abbott , livery crime known to man can bo laid at the door of mammon worship. Mur der , robbery , dishonesty , falsehood , lying the poor , neglected man's nature dwarfed and crippled. The love of money is responsible for all those. One of the old cardinals on his death bed tilled a basin with gold and bad it .set near him , and he ran his inflamed hands down through the gold , turnip } ' it up in the basin. Money hiul been his ruin. There are men in tlio church to-day who do not know that money is their ruin , The last verso In this text shows us that the man of God should use his money wisely. God wants bo ' us to self-support- ing. Ho says : "Ho that providcth not for his own , especially for his own house , hath denied Ihc faith and is worse than an infidel.1 Ho say * In Psalm M : "If riches increase set not your heart upon them.1' Mr.iWesloy had three rules for money , which three rules ho got from God's book : Make all you can. Save all you can. ( iiye all you can. What grand objects the Christian has to-tiny to contribute lo. His own home to Mipi.'orl , his own church , the poor about him , lie takes a hand in sending the gospel abroad , in building colleges and schools of Jciirning for iho j'ouiig. May wo bo wise and i' ithful ftitwards of what God has put in our hands , for Ho has said : "Occupy till I come. " TIII-3 I5UIIO1MJAN 13VA NGKhtBT. Ucv. A. Jacobs Hcriiion nt tlic Iap- ! tlst. Church linst Nl lit. The First Uaplist church , at the corner of Fifteenth and Davenport streets , was well filled last night to hear the Rev. A. Jacobs , the European evangelist , who , niter the reading of the lesson from the ninetieth psalm by the Rev. Ilcaglo , took for his text II Kings ivS3 : : "Run now , I pray thce. , to meet her and say unto her , Is it well with theo ? Is it well with thy husband ? Is il well with the child ? And she answered , It Is well. " The need of the ago Is family religion. Each home should bo ono noted tor piety , holiness and pure religion. My reading Ihe fccrintnro we iind Jbat very few families could say , "It is well with IH. " If this miestlon bad been asked of Kve she must have said , "No. It Is not well with me. " Her youngest son was slain and her oldest a mur derer. Noah's wife must have made the same answer when she thought of tlio eurso which bad been inflicted by Ids father on her youngest son. The patriarch Abraham bad similar sorrow on account of Ishinael. IScbecca , too , must have bad tliesanie trouble from tbo quarrel of ICssuti and Jacob. Tbo former gousht the bitter's lite , and .Jacob was forced to lly for lofiiRO and sleep out on tbo plain with a stotio for bis pillow , liven the prophet Samuel must have bait bis heart wrung because bis children walked not In tbo footsteps of their fattier. Jacob exclaimed In angnisb , "J shall go down to the grave mourning the conduct of my son Iteuben and the loss Joseph. " and the world lias sounded lor centuries with tbo cry of parenlhal a-'ony "o Absalom , my son. my son" Unt the woman In the text could say II was well with her because bite bad fol lowed ( Jod's command. "Js it well with yon husbands"said the speaker addtesslng himself to tbo married men in his audience. They ought to be able to say It was well with them as fathers , hus bands , citizenc. dod created us for His own lory. Not for the purpose of practicing law , or medicine or sm'cubitlng in real estate. We are tbo temples of wherein ( ! od dwells by His spirit. Hut wo cannot be God'.s children while wo aie connpt , while wo are full ol the devil. ' Every man has an influ ence. No man lives to himself and no man dies lo himself. W know not but our inllu- enco may diag some soul down to tbo pit. How much dcpnnds then upon our Iniluenco being for good and the salvation of souls. Fathers should remem ber the effect of their bad habits on tlieir children. Jn view of their great responsibil ity how careful should fathers be. that ills well with thorn in the lingiiaic and spirit of the text. Again , man's duties In view of bis marriage vows are great. Angels might well tremble if called on undertake tlio responsi bilities men assume at the marriage altar. Cod lias given men thn oppoittmlty to ele vate their wives to a higher , nobler , holler life. It is not enonidi that the hands be calousod with laboring and the brain weary with studying for the benefit of tlio dear ones at liomo. Tbo higher motive to lie set before such faithful husbands la to lead their companions to ( Sodiind Christ. The speaker pictured the dying remorse of a man who had failed to give himself to Christ and lead his wife and children Into the church. Wives , too , should ask themselves , "Is it well with nioV" There is not a wife living but has the power. If she uould , to brim : her husband to Christ. The speaker referred to tlio devotion of ardent swains before mar riage , and said Iho ladies mizht exercise a greater power alter marriage than before if they would only aiako tbo cfl'ort. Ho con cluded with a graphic description of a num ber of death-bed scenes where ho had been present , referred to tlio temptations which throng the foot steps of the young in this city and called upon narnnts to take care of their children and give them to Christ before it was lee late. Air. Jacob * will preach al the same place to night and Wednesday night. THK TWO GlllJAT FOKOlSrf. Hnv.V. . J. IInrahu'8 Kernion nt tlio Presbyterian Church Imm Kvoninjr. At the Dodge Street Presbyterian church last evening the Rev W. J. Hursha preached to a large congregation from the text : Amos , Jl , 1'i ; "As the shepherd takcth out of tbo month ol the lion two legs or a piece ol an ear. " Tlio following Is a synopsis of the discourse : "Amos was a.shepherd , and In these words he descrllws a scene very familiar to him , A little lamb had gone astray anil a lion hud ponm-ed upon it and curried It oil' to his lair. The t > bei > ! ienl puraiied and cxinc upon the lion alter the most of the victim was con sumed ; hut ho rescued two logs and a piece of an ear and carried those fragments homo In triumph. And tlio prophet said that thus ( ! od would rescue the lemnant ot his people from sin and take even tbo fragments ol ! their lives for his service. I'rom these words we may learn that Ihero are two great forces at woilc In the universe , a destroying and a rescuing force. In your lives and in your heart-i thc.so two eonllietlirj powers aio at work what will bo the result'/ The destroying force Is represented in Katan.

[ Written for the Omaha Siiwhty Ihc.\ \ General Adam lindcnu in his rciuinis cuccs of tit-nut , which nro the most inter esting I over rend concerning n public man , pjvcs incidentally many incidents in the lives of other public men contemp orary with ( it-aut. In most things I have- no doubt ( icticntl Undunu is correct , but now mid then ho uiukos n mistake , and in speaking of old Hun Wade ho goes wide of the mark. Il was my good fort une to bo intimately associated with Son- ntor VVmlo ami I was almost constantly with him during otic of the most eritlcal periods in the history of our country the impeachment of Andrew Johnson. It Is concerning this time Sir. Hadeau writes of Mr , Wade , and in what ho says is wrong so far as slating Mr. Wade "was too rabid iv man lo be a safe presi dent. " Mr. Wade was one of Iho safest statesmen 1 ever know , and his rabidiiess was all on the outside. I once heard Mr. Lincoln uiinovcrhls pretended rabidness in a way Unit was highly amusing. Wadu was scolding juyivy as usual because the war did not progress more rapidly , and the administration wns not more radical. Hu said he would do various things if ho had the power , and al last Sir. Lincoln , some what annoyed , turned upon hint and said ; "Sir. Wade , do you know the duFbr- once between doing a thing and advising" another to do it ? You arc senator from Ohio and 1 am president of the United States , your people are very radical and you are their representative. It 1 wore n senator from Illinois and you wore presi dent , our positions would bo ox.ie.tlv re versed , and I doubt nol Hint 1 should bo hero as : i senator urging you to do many things which you , as president , could not and would nol do. Come , now. Sir. Wade , am 1 not right in this ? " "I'll be d d if you alnt , " said Mr. Wade , "aiirt if 1 ever urn president , 1 hope 1 will have the good RCIISO to do pretty much as you do. " This was the whole thing in a nut shell. Mr. Wado's people in tlio JJtick- eye state were always very advanced in their ideas , and Sir. Wade was their faith ful representative. Personally he wa.s very conservative and if ho had ovorbecii president be would have surprised every one by the moderation of his administra tion It has often been wondered who Sir. > Vndc would have called about him if Andrew Johnson had been impeached. Ho eamo within one vote of being presi dent , and it is a matter of very great in- tercs.t to know whom Mr. Wade would have called into his cabinet and placed in positions of prominence , had lie been called upon to exercise the powers of a president. Sir. Wade never said distinctly he would appoint anv man , for when approached preached on the subject by his most inti mate friends , ho always replied : " 1 am noi yet president and have no appoint ments to make , and likely never will have as president of the United States. " Still , Mr. Wndc had his friends , and wc who know him bost.hnda very good idea whom he would appoint In a certain ovunt. Ono day when 1 was about starling frow Washington to Kentucky , Sir. Wndo called me into the vice president's oilico and said : "If you see Judge Win. U. ( ioodloc , ot Lexington , Ky. , when you get out there , give him my kindest re gards , and ask him if he should be needed - od at Washington in a certain event whether be would bo willing to come. " Ho then asked if L thought Judge Good- lee would como to Washington , should ho ( Wade ) need him. 1 said , "Sir. Goodloo. will do anything to oblige mid servo you. " "Very well , " ho replied , "if lightning flionlu .strike mo in this im peachment business [ will need him , and you may say so to him privately. " L consider the expression of Sir. Wade as an indtetitiou that in case Andrew John- con should have been impeached and Wade succeeded him as president , he would have invited Judire Goodloo to accept a seat in the cabinet which ho would have been called upon to form. Sir. Wade often said , Sir. Stanton in Iho right man in the war oilico and .should bo kept Ibere. There is no doubt that if Sir. Wade had boon made presi dent at any time during Sir. Stallion's life ho would have been called on to act as secretary of war , as long as Sir. Wade was president. Wade had a high opinion of Sir. K. B. Ward , of Detroit , and believed him to possess great financial abilities. Ho said one day , "Ward would make a good sec retary of the treasury and I should like to sue him try his hand in that olllcc. " Without going into details as to all my reasons for thinking so 1 will say in brief if Sir. Wade had been made president lo succeed Andrew Johnson , I believe ho would have appointed about tin ; fojlow- Ing persons to positions under him in his cabinet , vi/C : Soorotary [ of slalc O. T. Morton , of Indiana. Secretary of Ihe treasury K. JJ. Ward , of Michigan. Secretary of war K. SI Stiinlon , of Washington , D. O. Secretary of the navy John W. Tor- ney , of Pennsylvania. Secretary of tlio interior Xachnrlah Chandler , of Sliohican. Postmaster general J. II. J. Cresswcll , of Maryland , Attorney general Wm. C. Goodloe , of Kentucky. As to our representatives abroad , J think ho would have tendered missions to the following gentlemen. Minister to Knghind Simon Cameron , of Pennsylvania. Minister lo Franco K. U. Washburno , of Illinois. SIInibtur lo Germany Fred liassatirel ; , of Ohio. Minister to ISussia Andrew G. Cm-tin , of PuniiHyivaniu , Minlblur lo Austria Win. O. Hrownlow of Tennessee.

( ! iturbrid < ; o , of Ivuntueky , There were many oilier friend * ! of Sir. \ \ ado's who would have boon called to positions of trust and honor in the gov ernment and among those I may name Governor Wiirmoulh , of Louisiana , who would have been olVerod the collintort : > hip of the port of Now Orleans , and Goncra !

Wndo say one day when General Lorcn/.o Thomas was acting ad interim secretary of war , and making trouble with Mr. Slnnton. ( hat it ho ( Wade ) ever trot a cliuncc lie would ap point Uobert Williams ndjutant general of the army. I ellen hoard him speak In tlio highest terms of General John SI.
