The f3lrls' School of Agriculture at St. An-

, educational Instution In thLs coon s y. There
farmers' daughters are taught to cook and
can and sew , how to raise fruits and flow-
erse the sciences of dairying , household
- chemistry and entomology , and many other
. useful thlng , which will make them valil-
able -Ids to the farmers lucky enough to
, win their educated hands and hearts.

: II P. G. Hamerton says on this point :
"There Is great danger In apparently unlimIted -
limIted opportunities , and a splendid com-
pensation for those who are confined by circumstances -
cumstances to a narrow but fruitful field.
, To &upply our own need , within the
narrow limIts of the few and transient hours
that we can cal our own , Is enough for the
wise e\'erywhere. Let us resolve to do as
much as that , not more , and then rely upon
the golden compensations. "

At the servleeJ hell by the First
Methodist church yesterday Bishop
James A. Handy of the African
.Methodlst Episcopal church preached. The
bpenlng prayer was by 11ev. Richardson , a
! lelegate to the African MethodIst conference .
once now being held In this city 11ev
Frank Crane followed { In a short Introductory
speech , sayhimg. . that there was no race dis-
Unction In the lelhodlut church. lie sId
there had been riots In China against whIte
mIssionaries , troubles In California wherein
the miner had risen up against the Chinese ,
and time lynching of negroes In the south
wherein the victim had been found Innocent
when I was too late to make restitution.
Mammy of these race troubles hall been waged
In the name of relglol : , such as the late
ArmenIan outrages In Turkey , but b ) far "the
ljorlty ? were caused from a lack of re-
hlglon. Helglon knew no race distncton ,
11ev. Frank Crane thEn Introduced Bishop
handy . who spoke on 'ImmnortalIty. " He
said that Paul hiked to preach In large cItes ,
liked to address large audiences anti convince
them of the fruitlessness of lIving In the
world Ly the manner In which they had been
existing : that there was something oyond ,
sonHthlng' greater to be attained than the
luxuries of this earth Whie at Phllpl
la I I succeeded In emptying all the temples
and synagoglTes of the Jews. They came
first to SCQr and deride the new religion , but
were held spellbound by the eloqnence or
Paul , He was not a Demosthcnes nor n
Plato , but his words were heaven born and
carried conviction with them. They assaulted -
sauled him when he wOlld not desist but
were fnaly convInced that he was Inspired ,
and adopted the relIgion of which he
preached Everything In nature showed the
fleetIng character of life on this gobe : , showed
the power of God and the indestructibIlity
of the soul. The bishop then drew a picture
of the difference of feeling at a pagan death
bed and that of a Christian. He had attended -
tended the funeral of a brother of Colonel
Ingersoll's while living at Washington , and
had observed the deed sorrow of the mighty
orator and wondered I a belief In ChrIst
wOlld not have enabled him to bear his bereavement -
reavement with greater fortitude. When
the shivery-tongued speaker had bid good b ) '
forever to all that remalnod of a brother he
had loved and cherIshed In life , would he
not have felt happIer could he have believed
that they would meet again In the great
beyond ? lie thought so. The bishop said
that the belief In resurrection was the great
tie that kept all Christians together , that
made them work and Etrlv for something
better than anything on thIs terrestrial foot-
stool : that the love of God was far greater
even than that of a mother , and that to
Him everything was , possible. The death of
nn infidel was Indeed a terrible thing to wit-
nelS , amid the bishop concluded his remarks
by exhorting al to embrace the religion that !
was the only saving factor to humanIty be-
for I was forever to late.
An announcement was made by 11ev. Frank
Crane that 11ev. Ichardson of the confer-
ence would address members of the church
pn next Thursday describing his fifteen
years' mIssionary experlen\e while In Africa.
The benediction ! was then pronounced by

"What Is Wrong WIth the Church ? " was
the topic of 11ev. Asa Leard's discourse at
the Knox Presbyterian church yesterday
mnormming. lie saId In part :
This has been the cry of the pesimist for
about 1,800 ) 'ear. " 0 , the Inconsitencies of
the church , " says time skeptic. "Yes , and
the heartessness and tyranny of the church , "
says the anarchist. So I Koes. "MIne her-
Iagc Is unto me as a speckled bird , all the
birds arc asaJnLhcr. " Jt Is about the moat
rashlel ble tiling In the world today . to
abuse the church. This has pretty nearly
always been the case and doubtless will be
until the miennium utawliG.
unt lawns.
There have been tmes when the church
seemed to be pretty nearly all wrong No
doubt a good deal could be found In the
church today that would not seem to be In
the line or God's , plami for It. What arc
some of these thingshmnd how are they to
be set rlht ?
Thee questions ought not to be very hard
to answer. Wo ha\'e a full record of the
church as organized by Christ and his aDOs-
ties. That church was surely right. That
church would be right toda ) lIa\'e we that
'church ? I not , In what do we differ tram
I ? Now I know there are some people who
the holy Ghost hls to be consulted and obeyed
ganlzton lu the church today. They cry
out , "All wrongl All wrong ! " The trouble
Is these people wIll persist In seeIng only
time errors and then characterize the church
by these. I a man chance to have a wart
on hIs nose I would hardly be right to cal
the' man himself a wart. About as reason-
able are some of these denunciations of the
church ,
The church of the apostes was above all
thIngs an evangelistic church. The aposte3
had just one great theme , anti that was
"Jesus Christ , the promIsed Savior. " They
believed that without him all men were lost ,
and they preached It. They beleved that
Jesus would save al who would come unto
Him , and they preached it. I they preached
holy hiving It was the holiness that comes
from being saved through Jesus Chmrizt I
they preached a resurretLn'U was a res-
urrecton through Jesus Christ. They were
not afraId of being called "men of one Irea , "
especially as that Idea was turning the worll
upsIde down. The burden of apostolic
preaching was "Jesns Christ and him cruci-
fled. " They faced time same Ignorance , vice
and Immoraltty that meets us , only In a
greater degree and thIs one truth was the.
panacea for It al. Paul desired to elevate
the morals of the people of his day , so he
preached to them Jesus Clmrlst all then exhorted -
horted them to "walk worthy of their call-
Ing" In 1m. II It not a fact that thIs same
truth Is tile theme of the pulpit today ? Of
course we occasionally fluid a pulpit gLven eve
to poetic efusions , fiddle strings and an-
thems , but In the course of nature these exceptions -
ceptons must soon give way. Jesus Christ
will honor but one thing with ultmate prosperity -
perity and that Is the steady , sturdy , earnest
preaching ol the good news of salvation
through Ills shed blood
1.
, Current topics and organ recitals like brass
bands may draw a crowd , but only the
preachIng of the gospel wi build UIJ the
church , save men , and reform the world
The church of the apostles was a Holy
Ghost ( church. It had a bible that men rec.
oKnized 1 having ben revealed h ) the holy
Ghost. The bible was therefore to the apoa-
toie church as the audible voice at God.
There was an intelligence In I , a peronaly
back of It. Every decision of the church was
)
from the Holy Ghost They went where the
Holy Ghost dIrected them. They said what

To the outside world the church may seem
to bo all mlehlnery , because the world can
only see that whlcl Is WithoUt , but the pray-
Ing Christan knows that all this machinery
would be as moUonlessrls a dead engine were
It not for the power of the holy Ghost wIthin.
Jesus Chrit Is the great head of the church ,

All that Jesus Christ was to hits disciples
when upon earth the holy Ohost Is now ,
our comforter , guide and strength I the
church today would consult and follow the
guidance of the holy lhost there would not
be so many congregations groaning under
the mortgage on their building or blushing
for tie short com InKs of their ummemnberu , I
the Holy Ghost should be consulted and obeyed
more fully In the calling of mlnlsterl there
would be fewer failures In the pulpit. Theological -

of the 'urlc
"The Christian Martyrs of Armenia" was
the sUbject ot a very practical discourse Ly
Hev , Vrooman at the First Congregational
church yesterday morning. Thl theme served
to introduce an Interestng narration of the
Armenian outrages and the Ilrevlous history
of Christianity under the Iepotsm of the
Ottoman empire. The preacher took a rad-
heal positon relative to the polcy of the
Turkish goverment and held that I was
high time that the Christian nations of the
world united to secure to their brethern of the
Otoman empire the undlHurbed enjoyment
of equal privileges with tIme Mosiema .
11ev. Vrooman spoke trom the text "Am I
my brother's kEeper ? " from which he drew
an application as to time duty of all ChrIstian
people to do all In their power to develop
anl crystallize a public sentiment that
should ultmately result In Inducing the
IJowers to assert themselves In the Interests
of the Armenian , Iacedonbn and Greek
: '
Christians. He held that the lohammedans
of the Ottoman empire wore far marl cruel
and bigoted than , time MOllems of other
nationalities. He charged the United States
consul at Constantnople wih being In sym-
pJth with the Turkish outrages amid assorted -
sorted that the only thing Consul Tyrrel
hall done to entte him to an appointment
was the fact that shortly. after time war
ho had written a Iloel In eulogy of John
Wilkes Dooth.
Hetumlng to the story of the sufferings
11ev. Vrooman
of the Armenian Christians ,
briefly outlined the hhtory of the various
general massacres anti drew a vivid picture ;
of the daily outrages te which tley were
subject. They were taxed for the privIlege
of lving : they wer not permitted to testify
In court and they had absolutely no recourse
against the outrages which the emissaries
of the sultn perpetrated on their homes anti
faummihios. The speaker stated that he had
heard theme stories from the hips of those
who had themselves experience these m.tmf-
terlngs , and that he had access to the cor-
resl\ondenee of 260 Christians who had been
residents of Turkey for from five to forty
yeals Without one exception all these
writers agreed that tbO reports whIch had
been obtained 11 this country through the
dlpJomatc correspondence of Consul Tyrrel
faIled to
were grossly Incorrect and utterly faied
do justIce to the real sItuation. He main-
tamed that this question had within itself
the life or death of Oriental Christianity , and
at the chose. of the regula" service he re-
quelted the members of the congregation to
sIgn a peton : which represented their sen-
ttmmments and was designed to old In the work
tments
of crystallizing the 'sentIment of the Eng-
lsh speakIng people In favor at foreIgn In-
terventon for time protection of the Christan
subjects of the sultan.

The pulpit at the Deth-Eden Baptist church
was occupIed yesterday morning by Dr. W.
W. Evertl , jr. , of hlavarhmiil , bss. The minIster -
Ister , who Is a son lof ' the late Di' Enrts ,
who for mere than twenty years was pastor
of the First Daptst'\chureh of Chicago , Il' ' a
speaker of quIet 'force , , \hose words are de-
II'ered wIth no atempt at great oratorical
' dIrectly the minds of
effect , but rear' , Jlrecty
lIsteners with , their In.pressl\enes.
Dr. Everts' serrnOrl.waS an extemporaneous
discourse on "The Church , " the principal
Idea conveyed being the great need of more
unity among church worllers. The entire
sermon was an lultraton , this church being
compared to the human body , the branches
of one to the member and functons of the
other.
The preacher sad ! that the first man ,
, Adam combined In himself all the faculties
and showed the perfectness of the human
beng ! , the great handlworlt of God. Since hIs
time , with the illsemlnatot of the human
race , the'e fculies hal become sc'attereti
anti no 11nu:1 : beng : combInes them In his
one body. Cnsequenty It was necessary
for good work that the members of aIm or an-
luton' like the church brIng their faculties
together so harmonIously that they term a
unit.
In the human body continued the speaker
the varIous organs are necessary to each
other-ono imeipt' every other. The eye helps
the ear and heln' ear helps the nose and they
al work together to malee up the taculles at
the man In the same way In the body of
the church one man may ha\e musical
genius , another another qual ) . , but time
varIous members should combine these facul-
ties for the geol of the church In the same
way as the organs unite to make the man.
It , on the other hand , tha OrKan of the
human body refused to assist each other as
nature requires them the organization would
be more or less broken up. In directly the
same way If some member .t the church re-
fused to help by not donatng hie gIfts for
time good at the cimurchi that church was more
or lelf Injured. Very frequently a member
did refuse assIstance from tie fact that s/le
desire on his part had been thwarted : per.
haps he failed to obtain some office In the
church' that he wished , and falsely arguing
that the church dil not need him , he arrived -
rived at the conclusIon that he did not need
the church. Especially dd ! I oren happen
that when some man was elected to lJme
high position the other members envied him
and bcame dissatisfied , to the Injury of the
church. The speaker went to length In show
Ing the unchariableness of such , conduct , although -
though he said I was . very prevalent.
In your blood Is the cause of that tired ,
languid feehing. Hood's Sasaparia makes
rich , red blood and gives renewed vigor
