For Cling to the Cross. were too prdllxor exhortations too long winded. - Finding . that 'many business men are from 12 noon to 1 o'clock at comparative leieure, he widely aunonnc ed fhat at 12 o'clock of 23d t)f Septem ber, 1857, there would begin a" prayer meeting of one hour in the email upper room of the Reformed church, on Ful ton street, New York. Lanpbier went to that room at 12 o'clock and sat alone. At half past 12 a man entered, and oth ers came until there were ix worship ers present. -The meeting on the follow- ing noonday numbered 20, and the next day 40., Then the meeting became too large for the roomiand it was taken into the main auditorium, and for 41 years that service has been the religious center of Christendom. - Requests for prayer from all parts of the earth have come there and thjS prayers offered been answered sometimes with a resound that was beard throughout Christen dom. Hundreds of thousands of souls have stepped into that Betbesda and been healed. That meeting started the great revival of 1858, in Which it is es timated 500,000 souls vwere converted. When Monday morning, Deo. 26, his soul ascended, I think he was met at the gate of heaven by a welcoming throng as mighty as that which has greeted any admitted soul for five cen turies. Humble and without any pre tension and without anything brilliant in his make up, through faith in God and concentrated prayer be shook the earth and enraptured the heavens. He Was worth 10,000, yea 100,000, ordinary Christian workers. Dear" old friend Lanphier, how 1 loved you 1 Worth Ten Thousand. . ; When the consul general came in bis official row boat to take us off our great steamer in the harbor of. Constantinople, there: were many things I wanted to see in that city of multiform enchantments, but most of all I was anxious to eee that architectural charm of the ages, the St. Sophia once a church, but now a mosque. I do not wonder that when Lamartine saw it he thanked God, and Pouquevillefelt himself lifted into some other world. What pillars of porphyry, and walls of malachite,, and hovering arches, and galleries which seemed to have alighted from heaven instead of being built up from earth I Mosaics and mother of pearl, . and seraphim with wings bediamonded, and dome which scoops the sky and staggers with its height ad oircumference all those who gaze into it until they can look no more, but each succeeding time yon look' it seems higher and wider and grander and more supernatural. All the then known world taxed to furnish the splendor of 'the mosque, and many of the great blocks of stone brought from Alexandria, from Athens, from Thebes, from Baal bee. Marbles veined and star red and striped and interlaced, and the whole building adorned with depths of blue, and whiteness of snow, and glow of fire, until all terms of magnificence are a depreciation, and years after your most extravagant dreams struggle to re build it. But, after all, I cannot forget that it is a destroyed church, and that one day that building, which had been dedicated to God, was transferred to that religion which has Mohammed for its tirophet. One day, : centuries ago, 100,000 people had ed between its 1 walls from the devastating war of the Turk, but all in vain, for Mohammed II, on horseback and followed by in furiate mobs, rode into that church, the hoofs clattering the sacred floors, while the conqueror shouted, the victory of superstition and invoked Allah, the god of j Arabs and Turks, to accept the stu pendous pile in dedication. What a deseoration and what worldwide de spair 1 But that which the nations now most need is a hero, a leader, a cham pion, an incarnated God, to turn all the mosques of superstition and all the basilicas of sin into temples of right eousness, and to rededicate this world, so long given up to wickedness and sin, to the God who in the beginning pro nounced it very good. Such a hero, such a leader, such a champion, such an in carnated God we have. Ha comes riding in upon the white horse of eternal vic tory, and we can, in more exalted sense than that which the soldiers of David felt, cry out, "Thou art worth 10,000 of us." Conqueror of World. The world has had other conquerors, yet they subdued only a nation or a con tinent, but here is one who is to be a conqueror of hemispheres. Other physK cians have cured sufferings, but here is a Doctor who gave eight to those who were born blind and. without surgery straightened the crooked back and changed the numbness of paralysis into warm circulation, and who will yet ex tirpate all the ailments of the world, until the last cry of the world's distress shall change into a eong of convales cence. Other kings have ruled wide realms, but here is a King that will yet reign in all the earth as he now reigns in heaven. There have v been other his torians who told the story of nations, but- here is one who tells us of things that occurred before . the world was. There have been other generals who commanded men, but here was a Gener al who commanded seas and hurricanes. There have been other prophets, , but here is one out of Whose Jife and career Moses and David and Jeremiah and Ezekiel and Micah and Malachi and Zechariah dipped their inspiration. There have been other merciful hearts air up and down through the ages, but here is one who loves us with an ever lasting love and whose mercy antedates the. birth of the first mountain, and Jbe wash of the first sea, and the radiance of the first aurora, andjbe chant ofjhe morning stars at the creation and will continue after the last rock has melted in the final conflagration, and Atlantic and Pacific ocean 8 have rolled out of their beds, and the last night shall have folded up its shadow, and our Lord shall have cried out in the same words that sounded' through the night of John's banishment on Patxnos, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last Then all the mightiest of heaven will gather around the incarnated God of whom I preach, each one saying it for himse f, but all together uttering it in mighty chorus, "Thou Son of David, thou Son of Mary, thou Son" of God, thou airt worth 10,000 of us." i j But I must not close without com mending to yon this wonderful Christ here and now as your pardon for all tin and your eolace for all grief and your triumph in all struggle. Down at Nor-' folk a few days ago, a gentleman was telling me of one of our warships in Cuban waters. Before it left a northern harbor some Christian ladies at much expense and with fine taste bought and furnished for that war vessel; a pulpit, from which the chaplain might read the service and preach while on ship board. The pulpit was mado in j the shape of a cross and it was beautifully damasked and tassel ed. The ship got into the battle before Santiago, and the vessels of the enemy began to sink; and their crew were struggling in the wa ters, when, from thia ship. I speak of, the officers and Bailors began to throw over chairs, planks, tables, to help the drowning save themselves. After awhile everything movable bad been thrown overboard, except the pulpit , in j the shape of a cross. After objection by some that it was too beautiful and valu able to be cast into the waters, the cross was dropped into the sea. . One of the drowning men seized it, but let go, and another seized, and the shout went from many on deck to those struggling in the waves: "Cling to the cross! Cling to the cross!'' Several of the drowning took the advice and held on until they were rescued and brought in safety to deck and shore and home, and I say to all the eoals today sinking in sin and sorrow, now swept this way and now that: Though the guns of temptation and disaster may splinter and knock from under you all other standing, land everything else goes down, take hold the cross -and cling to it for your present and everlasting safety. Cling to the cross, for he who died upon it will save to the uttermost, and he is so good and so lovely and so mighty that he is worth infinitely more than 10,000 of us.

',-'' r:- Crusade Against Immorality. The city authorities of Wilming ton have begun an active crusade against houses of ill frame. Early Friday morning, when these joints were in full blast, squads of police swooped down upon three of them and nine of the female occupants, together with a number of young men, Were placed under arrest. They were arraigned before j the mayor and given the extreme pen alty of the law, the mayor stating that the judgments would be sus pended in each case provided1 the women would leave the city and never come back. To this the de fendants agreed and officers were detailed to buy their tickets jand see them ( off, which was done. Several of the occupants who" es caped arrest at the time of the raid were 1 arrested and without trial were sent out of town. The mayor announced that the crusade would continue until the community is rid of these resorts. Coughing injures and inflames i 'ore lungs. One Minute Cough Cure loosens the cold, allays coughing and heals quickly. The bast cough cure for children. Howard Gardner. The Washington Post contro verts the proposition of the Balti more Sun that a standing army of 100,000 men will prove a menace to the peace of the country and the liberty, of its people. All the same a standing army of this size is neither necessary nor desirable. Such an army is perhaps needed now to whip into subjection the children we have lately adopted and are going to adopt, but; for service at home it should never be thought of. t The United States need to spend their surplus change in, the building of a navy whioh will enable them to enforce their demands upon any nation in the world. An army of European pro portions would be a needless ex pense. -Charlotte Observer.: Throw Away Trusses when oar new method, without use of knife, is guaranteed to permanently cure the worst cases of rupture. Send 10 cents in stamps for references nd pamphlet. Werld's Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, N. Y. 1 , : Governor Hastings, of Pennsyl vania, is one of the late converts to the proposition to elect Senators in Congress by popular vote.1 In his late message to the Legislature, he says that the reasons generally assigned for the present method of choosing Senators no longer exist, while the experience of the century has firmly established the fact that political power can nowhere be so safely lodged as in the people themselves. The Constitution in its present form, he goes on, opens the door for wealth and venality to enter legislative halls, to lure and tempt, and often to .snatch from the people by corrupt methods the glory and honor of the great sena torial office. That is the way all drugrists sell GROYI7S TASTELESS CHILL TONIC for Chills, Ferer and Malaria. It is simply Iron and Quinine in a tasteless form. Children lore it . Adults prefer it to bitter naoseatins tonics. Price, 60c. The Governor's ZXessago. - V The governor's message is . re markable for; nothing. As a re view of state affairs for two years past it has a certain historical in terest and thus is well worth read ing. In so far as the governor al lows himself any latitude for lit erary effect, the style is good, for Governor Russell is a man of cul ture and knows how to both write and speak the English language. He submits, the reports of the state officers and heads of the several charitable institutions, generally without comment except to endorse the recommendations which these officers make, and the general ab sence of recommendations to the legislature cannot but be remarked. Such recommendations as he does Bubmit are distinctly good. We note particularly his suggestion that legislation be enacted looking to the employment of the wide tire, and that all possible liberality be shown the University and the Sol diers Home. More space is devoted to the penitentiary than to any other one subject. Naturally Athe Governor seeks to show that it lost heavily under Democratic administration. He lauds Mr. Mewbourne, his last fusion superintendent, and is dumb a. to the administration of his first appointee, John R. Smith. He plows shallow on the North Caro lina Railroad litigation, which has been the distinctive feature of his administration. j We are not undertaking to dis cuss the message in detail. It is enough to say, in a general way, that while it lacks the evidences of His Excellency's usual vigor, it is in many respects a valuable docu ment and well worth the reading. I Charlotte Observer.
