THE NOTED DIVISE'S SUNDAY DISCOURSE. TlIT: xxiv., 47. 'Beginning : at Jerusalem. Luke "There it isaid the driver, and wo all Instantly and excitedly rose in the carriage to catch the first glimpse of Jerusalem, so long the joy of the whole eartb. That citv; coroneted with temples and palaces and radiant, whether looked up at from tne Tal ley of Jenoshaphat or gazed at from adjoin ing hills, was the capital of a great Kation. Cloud of ineeiwe had hovered over it. Char iot ot kings had rolled through it. Batter ing rams of enemies had thnndered against it. There Isaiah prophesied, and Jeremiah lamented, and David reigned, and Paul preached, and Christ was martyred. Most interesting city ever built since masonry rung its first trowel or plumb line measared its first wall or royalty swung its first scepter. What Jerusalem was to the Jewish kingdom Washington is to our own country the capital, the place to which ,ali the tribes come up. the great National heart whose throb sends life or death through the body politic, clear out to the geographical extremities. - What the resurrected Christ said in my text to His disciples when Ho ordered them to start on the work of gosplization. '-beginning at Jerusalem," it seems to me God says now in His providence to tens of thousands of Christians , in this city. Start for the evangelization of America, "beginning at Washington." America is going to be taken for God. If you do not believe it, take your hat now and leave and give room to some man or woman who does believe it. As surely as God lives and He is able to do as He says He will this country will be evangelized from the mouth ot the Potomac to the month of the Oregen. from the Highlands of Navesjnk to the Golden Horn, from Baffin's Bay to the Gulf of Mexico, and Christ will walk every lake, whether bestormed or placid, and ba transfigured on every moun tain, and thi? night skies, whether they hover over groves of magnolia or over Alaskan glacier, shall bs filled with the angelic over ture of "glory to God and good will to men." Again and itgait does the old book an nounce that all the earth shall see the salva tion of Got, and as thejgreater includes the lesser that takes American gloriously in. Can you not see that If America is not taken for God by His consecrated people it will be taken for Apoliypn? The force engaged on both sides are so tremendous that it cannot be a drawn battle. It is coming, the Arma geddon. Either the American Sabbath will perish and this Nation be handed over to Herods and Hildebrauds and Diocletians and Neros of baleful power, and Alcoholism will reign, seated upon piled up throne of beer barrels, his month foaming with do mestic and National curse, and crime will mt its uDUinaerea knne or assassination and rattle keys of worst burglary and wave torch of widest conflagration," and our cities be turned into Sodoms, waiting for mighty tempest of fire and brimstone and one tidal wave of abomination will surge across the continent, or our Sabbaths will take on more sancti ty, and the I newspapers will become apocal yptic wings of benediction, and penitentiaries will be.abandoned for lack of occupants, and holiness and happiness, twin son and daugh ter of heaven, seall walk through the land and Christ reign over this Nation either in person" or by agency so glorious that the whole country will be one clear, resounding echo of heaven. It will be one or the other. By the throne of Him who liveth forever and ever I declare it will ba the latter. If the Lord will help me. lis He always does-blessed-.be His glorious name I will show you how a mighty work of grace begun at Washington would have a tendency to bring the whole continent to God, and beforo this century closes. William the Conqueror ordered the curfew, I he custom of ringing the bell at midnight, at which all the llros on the hearths were to be banked, and all the lights extinguished, and all the people retire to their pillows. I pray God that the curfew of this contury may not bo souuded, and tin fires be banked, and the lights extinguished as the clock strikes the midnight hour that divides the nineteenth century from the twentieth cen tury until this beloved land, which was to most of us a cradle and which will be to most of us a grave, shall come into the full pos session of Him who is so glorious that Will iam the Conqueror could not be compared to Him. even the One who rideln forth 'con quering and to conquer." . Why should it be especially advantageous if a mighty work of grace started here, "be ginoingat Washington?" First, because this city is on the border between the North and the South. It is neither Northern nor South ern. It cottimingles the two climates. It brings together the two styles of population. It is not only right, but beautiful that peo ple should have especial love for the latitude where they were born and brought up. With what loving accentuation the Alabamiau speaks of his orange groves! And the man from Massachusetts is sure to lot you know that he comes from the land of the Adamses Samuel and John and John Quincy. Did you ever know a Virginian or Ohioan whose face did not bricuten when he announced himself from the Southern or Northern State of Presidents? If a man does uot like his uative clitne, it is because while he lived there ho did not behave well. This capital stands where, by its locality and its political influence, it stretches forth one hand toward the North and the other toward the South, and a mighty work of grae starting here would probably be a National awakening. "Georgia would clasp the haud of New Hamp shire, and Maine the hand of Louisiana, and California the hand of New York, and say, 'Come, let us go up and worship the God of Nations, the Christ of Golgotha, the Holy Ohost of tho pentecostiii t housands." It has often been said that I he only way tho North and the South will be brought into complete accord is to have a war with some foreign Nation in which both sections, marchiug side by side, would forget every thing but the foe to be overcome. Well, if you wait for such a foreign conflict, you will wait until all this generation U dead and perhaps wait forever. The war that will make the sections forget past contro versies Is t war against unrighteousness, such as a universal religious awakening would declare. What we want Is a feattle for souls in which about 40,000,000 Northern er and Southerners shall le on the same side and shoulder to shoulder. In no other city on the continent can such a war be de olarcd so appropriately, for all the other great cities are either Northern or Southern. Thiols neither, or rather it is both. Again, it would be especially advantageous if a mighty work of grace started here, be cause more representative men are in Wash ington than in any other city between the oceans. Of course tUere are accidents in polities, and occasionally there are men who get into the Senate and House of Represen tatives and other important places who are fitted for the positions in neither head nor heart, but this is exceptional and more ex ceptional now than in other days. There is iiot a drunkard in the National Legislature, although there were times when Kentucky. Virginia. Delaware, Illinois. New York and Massachusetts bad men in the Senate or House of Representatives who were maudlin and stHiigejiug drunk across those high places. Never nobler group of men sat in Senate or House of Representatives than sat there yesterday and will sit there to-morrow, while the highest judiciary, without ex ception, has now upon its bench men be yond criticism for good morals and mental endowment. So in all departments of offi cial position, with here and there an excep tion, are to-dav the brainiest men and most honorable men of America. Now, suppose the Holy Ghost power should fall upon this eitv. and these men from all parts of Amer ica should su Jdeuly become pronounced for Christ. Do vou sh v the eff"?t would be elec trical? More than that. It would be om nipotent. Do you say that such learned and potent men are not wrought upon by relig ious influence? That shows you have not observed what has been going on. Commodore Foote. representing the navy: General Grant and Robert E. Lee, represent ing the Northern and Southern armies: Chief Justice Chase, representing the Supreme Court; the Frelinghuysens, Theodore and Frederick, representing the United States Senate; William Pennington and scores of others, representing the House of Represent atives, have surrendered to that gospel, which before this winter Is out will in this capital of the American Nation, if we are faithful in our prayers and exertions, turn into the kingdom of God men of National and international power, their tongues of eloquence becoming the tongues of lire in another Penteoost Ther ire on yonder hill those who by the grace ol God will be come John Knoxes and Chrysostoms and Tensions and Bourdeleaus, when once regenerated. There is an illusion I hare heardln prayer meetings and heard in pulpits, that a soul is a soul one soul worth as muoh a another. I deny ft. The soul of a man who can bring 1000 or 10,000 other souls Into the kingdom ot God is worth 1000 times or 10,000 times more than the soul of & man who can bring no one Into the kingdom. A great outpouring of tho Holy Spirit is this capital, reaching the chief men ot America, wonld be of more value to earth and heaven than in any other part of the Nation because it would reach all the States, dries, towns and neighborhoods of the continent. Oh. for the outstretched right arm of God Al mighty in the salvation of this capital: Some of us remember 1857, when at the lose of the worst monetary distress this country has ever felt, compared with which the hard times of the last three years weA a boom ot prosperity, right on the heals of that complete .prostration came an awaken ing in which 500, OX) people were converted in different State of tne Union. Do yon know where one of its chief powers was demonstrated? In Washington. Do you know on what street? This street. Do you know in what church? This church. I picked up an old book a few days ago and was startled and thrilled and enchanted to read some words, written at that time by the Washington correspondent of a New York paper. He wrote: -The Firat Presbyterian Church can scarce contain thi people. Be quests are daily preferred for an interest in tho prayers offered, and the reading of these forms one of the teuderest and most effective features of the meetings. Particular pains are taken to disclaim and exclude every thing like sectarian feeling. General aston ishment is felt at the unexpected rapidity with which the work has thn far proceeded, and we are beginning to anticipate the ne cessity of opening another church." Why, ny hearers, not have that again, and more tnao that? There are many thousands more of inhabitants now than then. Besides that, sine? then are the telephone, with its semi omnipresence, -and the swift cable car for as sembling ihe ijieople. I believe that the mightiest revival of religion that this city has ever seen is yet to come, and the earth will tremble from Capitoliue Hill to the boundaries on fill sides with the footsteps of God as He eo'i - ' - Taken and pardon and save these great populations. People of Washington, meet us next Thurs day night, at half past 7 o'clock, to pray for this coming of the Holy Ghost not for a Pentecostal 30JO that I have referred to, but 30,000. Such a fire as that would kindle a light that would be seen from the sledge3 crunching through the snows of Labrador to the Caribbean 8ea, whero the whirlwinds are born. Let our cry be that of Habakkuk. the blank verse poet of the Bible, "O Lord, re vive Thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known ;"in wrath remember mercy." Let the battlecry be Washington for God, the United States for God, America for God, the world for God! We are all tired of skirmishing. Let us bring on a general engagement. We are tired of fishing with hook and line. With one sweep of the gospel net let us take in many thousands. This vast work must begin somewhere. Why not here? 8ome one must give the rallying cry, why may not I, one of the Lord's servants? By Providential arraugement, I am every week in sermonic communication with every city, town and neighborhood of this country, and I now give the watchword to north and south and east and west. Hear and see it, all people this call to a forward movement, this call to repentenee and faith, this call to a continental awakening! This generation will soon be out of sight. Where are the mighty men of the past who trod your Pennsylvania avenue and spake in yonder National Legislature Rnd decided the stupendous questions of the supreme ju dicatory? Ask the sleepers in the "Congres sional cemetery. Ask the mausoleums all over the land. Their tongues are speech loss, their eyes closed, their arms folded, their opportunities gone, their destiny fixed. How soon time prorogues parliaments aud adjourns senates and disbands cabinets and empties pulpits and dismisses generations! What we would do we must do quickly or not do at all. I call unon neonle who cannot come forth from their sickbeds to im plore the heavens in our behalf from their midnight pillows, and I call upon the aged who cannot, even by tho help of their staff, enter the churches to spend their last days on earth in supplicating the salvation of this Nation, and I call upon all men and women who have been in furnaces of trouble, as was Shadrach, and among lions, as was Daniel, and in dungeons of trouble, as was Jeremiah, to join in the prayer, and let the church of God everywhere lay hold of the Almighty arm that moves Na tions. Then Senators of the United State will announce to the S: ate legislatures that sent them here, and members of the House ot Representatives will report to the Congressional districts that elected them, and the many thousands of men and women now aud here engaged in the many depart ments of National service will write home, telling all sections of the country that the Lord is here and thai He is on the marchfor the redemption of America. Halleluiah, the Lord is coming, I hear the rumbling of His chariot wheels. I feel on my cheeks tin breath of the white horses that draw the Viotor! I see the flash of His lanterns through the long night of the world's sin and sorrow. We want in this country, only on a larger scale, that which other centuries have seen of God's workings, as in the reformation of the sixteenth century, when Martin Luther aud Philip Melanchthon led on; as in the awakening of the seventeenth century, when Bunyan and Flavel and Baxter led on; as in the awakening of tho eighteenth century, when Tennant and Edwards and the Wesieys led on: as In the awakening of 1857, led on by Matthew Simpson, the seraphic Methodist, and Bishop Maollvaiue. tho apostolic Epis copalian, and Albert Barnes, the consecrated Presbyterian, aud others just as good in all denominations. Oh. will not some of those glorious souls of the past come down and help us? Come down off your thrones. Nettleton aud Finnev and Daniel Baker and Edward Pavson and" Truman Os borne and Earle and Knapp and Inskip and Archibald Alexander that Alexander the Great of the Christian churches. Come down! How eau you rest up there when the worl t is living for rack of tha gospel? Cane down and agonize with us in prayer. Come down and help us preach in our pulpits. Come down and inspire our courage anil faith. Heaven can get along without you better, than we can. But more than all. and overwhelmed with reverent emotion, we ask it. come. Thou of the deeply dye t garments of Bozrah: traveling in th- gremness of Thy strength, mighty to save! Lord God of Joshua, let the sun of this cc-nturv stand still above Gibeon and the moon above the valley of Ajalon until we can whip out the live kings of hell, tumbling them down the preeipicss as the other five kins went over the rocks to Bethhoron. Ha! Ha! It will so surely lie done that I cannot restrain the laugh of tri'.im;b. From where the seaweed is tossed on the beach by the stormy Atlantic to the sands laved by the quie.' Pacific this country will be Emanuel's land, the work beginning at Washington, if we hav tV f.iith ahd holv push and the consecration requisite. Tint of all, we ministers must get right. That was a startling utterance of Mr. 8winnock when he said, "It is a doleful thing to fait into bell from under the pulpit; but, oh, how ' dreadful a thing to drop thither out of the puiplt." That was an all suggestive thing that Paul wrote to the Corinthians, "Lest that by any means, when I nave preached to others. I myself should be a eastswav." That was an inspiring motto with which White field sealed all his letters, "We seek the stars." Lord God. wake up all our pulpits, and then it will be as when Venn preached, and it was said that men fell before the word like slacked lime. Let us all, laymen and clergyman, to the work. What Washington wants most of all is an old fashioned revival of religion, but on a vaster scale, so that the world will never be compelled to say as of old. "We neve' saw it on this fashion." But remem ber there is a human side as well as a divine side to a revival. Those of us brought up in the country know what is called "a rais ing" the neighbors gathered together to ltftthe heavy frame for a new house after the timbers are ready to be put into their places. It is dangerous work. anJ there are many accidents. The neighbors bad gath ered for snoh a raising, and the beams had all been fitted to their places except one. and that very heavy. That one. on the lon pikes of the men. had almost reached its place, when something went wrong, and the men could hoist it. no higher But it tt did not go in its place it would fall back upon the men Who were lifting it. It had already begun to settle back. The boss carpenter shouted: "Lift, men, or die! Ail together! To. heave!" With mightier push they tried to send the beam to its place, but failed. Still they held on, all the time their strength lessening. The wives and mothers and daughters stood in horror looking on. Then the boss earpentet shouted to the women, "Come and help!" They eame, and. womanly arms betiam tha arms of giants, for they were "lifting to save the lives of husbands and fathers and sons, as well as their own. Then the boss car penter mounted one of the beams and shouted; "Sow! Altogether! Lift of die! To, heave!" Ahd with a united effort that almost burst the blood vessels, the great . beam went to its place and a wild huzza was heard. That Is the way it sometimes seems in the ehurches. Temples of righteousness are to be reared, but there is a halt, a stop, a catch somewhere. A few are lifting all they can; bat we want more hands at this raising, and more hearts, more Christian men to help aye, more Christian women to re-enforee. If the work fail, it means the death of many souls. All together, men and women of God! Lift or die! The top stone must eoale to its place "with shoutings of grace, grace unto it." God is ready to do His part; are we ready to do our part? There is work not only for the knee of prayer, bat for the shoulder of upheaval. And now I would like to gee this hour that which I have never seen, but hope to see a whole audience saved under one flash of the Eternal Spirit. Before you go out of any Of these doors enter the door of mercy. Father and mother, come in and bring vour children with you. Newly mar ried folks, consecrate your lifetime to God. and be married for eternity as well as time. Young man, you will want God before you get through this world, and you want Him now. Toung woman, without God this is a hard world forwomen. One aud all, wher ever you sit orstand, I lift my voice so Ibat you can hear it, out in the corridors and on the street, and say, in the words ot the Med iterranean ship captain, "Call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not." Ob, what news to tell, what news to relate to your bid father aud moth er, what news to telegraph your frieuds on the other side of the mountains, what news with which to thrill your loved opes in heaven! It was ef such news that a man read in a noouday meeting in Philadelphia. He arese, and unrolling a manuscript read : Where er we meet, you always say "What's the news? What's the news?

The Pension aud Military Academy Item Slightly Larger Than for the Current Year. The Senate committee on appropriations has reported the pension and Military acade my bills. The estimates for the pension bill amounted to $111,384,570, and the House passed it with an appropriation of f 141,325, 820. Tho Senate committee increased it by $52,760, two items of increase being $50,000 for foes and expenses of examlniug surgeons and $2,760 for rent of pension agencies. As reported to the Senate, the bill carried $ 141, 378,580. For the current year 1141,378,570 was paid. As this bill passed the House it was pro vided that during the fiscal year 1807 when over any claim for pensions under the act of June 20th. 1890, has been or s hould be re jected, suspended or dismissed and a new application shall have been filed and a pen sion has been or shall hereafter be allowed in such claim, such pensions shall date from the time for the filing of tho first application, provided tho evidence in the caso shali show a pensionable disability to have existed at the tiino of filing such first applica ion, auything in any law or ruling of the De.part mout to tho contrary notwithstanding. Tne Seuate'committeo struck out the limitation confining such action to the fiscal year 1897 and maue the provision general in its appli cation until the law may, in the wisdom of Congress, be repealed.

From Ihe CUueim' Journal, Atlanta, Tri. Tuesday morniug, August 13tb, the editor ef the Journal, in company with G. W. Tay lor, the stableman of Linden, Texas, drove out jeven miles northwest of Linden to tin residence of Mr. John Miller, We were re ceived and-well entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Miller. Their son, Bnford J. Miller, at atou four years oid, became pale and weak and nothing seemed to do him any goo H' continued in this condition until he was about twelve years old, at times oat ing too much for one or two meals aud then eating but little for weeks afterward. At twelve years of ago his feet and legs began to swell, and developed into what his physician said was a bad case of dropsy. Mr. Miller hal two good physicians to treat him: first Dr. A. J. Oliver, of Linden, and then Dr. J. T. Mills, or Almira, Texas. They both, after making a trial, gave up tho case. They coutd not benefit the patient. Mr. Miller tbeu trie I a number of patent medicines, without an v good result. He had spent much money and his son Buford' ap- pearedtohave no blood, no appetite, and ! was so weak that he could not walk a lmn- 1 dred yards without stopping to rest. Mr. Miller had given up in despair when one day ; a neighbor, Rev. S. G. Echals. who lives near j Linden, advised him to try Pink Pills. j Mr. Miller said he had no hope, and did ! not want to make the trial, but his neighbor i insisted. Tho next question was where could ! he got the pills. He went to Jefferson and found that J. F. Crow, a druggist, had them. . Mr. Crow was an old neighbor and friend and persuaded him to givo the pills a ' thorough trial, promising that if he would take three boxes and Buford received no . benefit from thorn he would charge nothing. : Mr. Miller took three boxes of Pink Pillf home with him, and says before Butord had 1 taken one box there mi a wonderful im provement. This was eighteen months ago. ' To-day Buford Millor isn louf, hearty young man about nineteen years old. We met several of his schoolmates at Lin- ' den whostato there has been a wonderful change in Buford Miller. He Is well known 1 by the people of Linden. j His mother, Mrs. Miller, was also afflicted ! with dropsy about seven years, suffering ' much in tho spring of the year. After sneinc that Pink Pills were benefiting her son the concluded to trv them for herself. This w,v about ayear ago. aud she remarked that if it had not been for Pink Pills she did not know what would have become of her. She had , no symptoms of dropsvthe pa.-t spring. She said .too much can not be said in prals of Pink Pills. Mr. Miller referred us to J. F. SStoveail.the druggist in Linden, Eb. Frarxier, merchant.
