BOOK PUB. HOUSE. 4 -nard 8u Ns York Oit ' REV. DR. TADIAGE. ',fIIK BROOKLYN DIVIXK'S SUN DAY S HUM OX. Subject: "Sustaining Power of Ilc-li-ion.' Text: "Tliough ye have lain am.onj (ht pnts, yd shall y he an Hie irinqx (if a 'ore covered frith silver and fur fi aUirs with yel low gold." I'salms ljcviii., i3. I fsnpposo you know what thft Isnu-Jitg did down in E'ptian slavorj-. Thoy ina Yi l.rieks. Anill the utoiwilss of tlie briokkiln thcrowre also other utensils of cookery -tho kettles, tho pots, tho pans, with whi rli they prf'purotl their daily food, and when. the.n poor slave?, tire 1 of tho day's work, lay down to rest they lay down amon;; tho im plements of cookery and tho Irnpleinents ot hard work. When they aroso 1n tho morn ing, they found their pa rments covcrt-l with the clay, and tho Bmoke, and f ho dust, and besmirched and bogrimod with tho utensild Of cookery. But after a while, tho Lord broke up that Blavery, and Hi took thego poor slaves into a land where they had better Karl), bright an I clean and beautiful apparel. No more bricks for them to make. Let Pharaoh make his own bricks. When David, in my text, comes to deserlbo tho transit inn of theso poor I-i-raelites from their bondage amid tim brick kilns into tho glorious emancipation for which Ool had prepared them, ho says, "Though yo have lain among the pots, yet Bhnllyobo as the winijs of a dove covered with silver and her feathers with yellow Bold." Jliss Whalcly. the author of a celobratol book, "Life In Egypt," said she sometimes saw people in tho East cooking their foo 1 on tho tups of houses, and that she had often seen jut before sundown pigeons and doves, which had during the heat Of tho day been hiding aaiongtho kettles and tho pans with which tho food was prepared, picking up tho crumbs that thoy might find. Just about the hour of sunset they would spread their wings and fly heavenward, entirely uusoiled by tho region in which they had moved, for the pigeon is a very cleanly bird. And as the pigeons Hew away tho setting sun would throw silver on their win'cs and gold on their bre;ists. So you see it is not a farfetched simile or an unnatural com parison when David, in my text, says to these emancipated Israelites, and says to nil those who aro brought out of any kind of trouble into any kind of spiritual joy, "Though yo have lain among tho pots, yet shall yo bo as the wines of a dove covere 1 with silver and her feathers with veliow Kold." Sm is the hardest of all taskmasters. Worse than Pharaoh, it keeps us drudging in a most degrading service, but after awhile Christ comes, and Ho says, "Let My people go," and we pass out from among tho brick kilns of sin into tho glorious liberty of tho gospel. Wo put on tho clean robes of a Christian profession, and when at last wo 6o.ir .way to the warm nest which Oo l has provided for us in heaven wo shall go fairer than a dove, its wings covered with silver and its foathers with yellow gold. I am going to preach something which some of you do not believe, and that is that the grandest possible adornment is tho re ligion of Jesus Christ. There aro a great many people who suppose that religion is a very different thing from what it really is. Tho reason men condemn the Bible is because they do not understand tho Bible. They have not properly examined it. Dr. Johnson said that Ifume told a minister in the bishop ric of Durham that he had never particularly examined the New Testament, ye't all his life warring against, it. Ita!!ey, the astronomer, announced his skepticism to Sir Isaac New ton, and Sir Isaac Newton said: "Now, sir, I have examined the subject, and you have l.ot. And I am ashamed that you, profess ing to be a philosopher, consent to condemn u thing you have never examined. " And so men reject tho religion of Jesus Christ because thoy really have m ver in vestigated it. They think it something un desirable, something that will not work, something PeeksninTin, something hypocrit- j lea', something repulsive, when it is so briirlit and so oeautiful you might compare ' it to .a chaffinch, you might comparo it to a robin red breast, you might compare it to a dove its wiu"s covered with silver and ita feathers with yellow gold. j But how is it if a young man becomes a Christian? Ail through the ciubrooms where ho associates, .all through the business cir cles where he is known, there is commisera tion. They say, "What a pity that a young man who had such bright prospects should so have been despoiled by thono Christians, giving up all his worldly prospects for some thing which is of no particular present worth !" Here is a young woman who be comes a Christian her voice, her face, her manners the charm of tho drawing room. Now all through tho fashionable circles tho whisper goes, "What a pity that such a bright light should have been extinguished, that such a graceful gait should bo crippled, that such worldly prospects should be obliterated !" Ah, my friends, it can be shown that religion's ways aro ways of pleasantness and that ail her paths aro peace ; that religion, instead of being dark and doleful and lachrymoso and repulsive, is bright anil beautiful, fairer than a dove, its win:-s covered with silver and its feathers with yellow gold. See, in tho first place, what religion will do for a man's heart. I care not how cheer ful a man may naturally be before conversion, conversion brings hint up to a higher Stan lard of cheerfulness. I do not say lie Will laugh any louder. I do not say but lie may stand back from some forni3 of hilarity in wiiieh ho once indulged, but there comes info his soul an immense satisfaction. A young man not a Christian depends upon worldly sucei sts to keep his spirits up. Now ho is prospered, now ho has a large salary, now he has a beautiful wardrobe, now he has pleasant friends, now ho has more money than ho knows how to spend. Everything goes bright and well with him. But 'rouble comes. There are many young men in the houso this morning who can tes tify out of their own experience that some times to young men trouble comes his friends are gone, his salary is gone, his health is gone. lie goes down, down. He becomes sour, cross, queer, misanthropic, blames the world, blames society, blames the church, blames everything, rushes perhaps to the in toxicating cup to drown his trouble, but In stead of drowning his trouble ho drowns his body and drowns his soul. But hero is a Christian young man. Trouble comes to him. Does he give up? No ! Ho throws himself back on the re sources of heaven. He savs : "Ood is my Father. Ont of all these disasters I shall pine!; advantage for my soul. All the prom ises arc mine, Christ is mine, Christian com panionship is mine, heaven is mine. What though my apparel bo worn out? Christ gives mo a robe of righteousness. What though my money be gone? I have a title deed to the whole universe in the promise, 'All aro yours.' What though my worldly friends fall away? Ministering angels are my body-guard. What though my fare be poor and my bread be scant? I sit at the King's banquot !" Oh, what a poor, shallow-stream is worldly enjoyment compared with the deep, broad, oversowing river of God's peace, rolling midway in the Christian heart! Sometimes you have gone out on the iron bound beach of the sea when there has been a storm on the ocean, .and you have seen the waves dash into white foam at your feet. They did not do you any harm. While there you thought of the chapter written by the psalmist, and perhaps you recited it to yourself while the storm was making commentary upon the pas sage . "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in time of trouble. There fore will I not fear, though the earth bo re moved, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of tho sea, though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mouutains shake with the swelling thereof." Oh. how independent the religion ol Christ makes a man of worldly success and worldly circumstances ! Nelson, the night before his last battle, said, "To-morrow I shall win either a peerage or a grave In Westminster Abbey." And it does not make much differ ence to the Christian whether he rises or falls in worldly matters. He has everlasting re nown anyway. Other plumage may be torn in the blast, but that soul adorned with Christian grace Is fairer than the dove its wings covered with silver and its feathers with gold. You and I have found out that, people who I DretonJ to be hanrjv ara not always aaoDT. Look at that young man oarloaturing the Christian religion, ecofflog at everything good, going Into roistering drunkenness, dashing the champagne bottle to the floor, rolling the glasses from the barroom coun ter, laughln?, shouting, stamping the floor, is ne nappy? 1 will go to nis mldntgtit pil low. I will see him turn-iho gas off. I will ask myself t! tho pillow on which ho sleeps i3 as soft as tho pillow on which that pure young man sleeps. Ah, no ! When he opens his eyes in the morning, will the world be as bright to him astothat young man who retire 1 at night saying his prayers, invoking God's blessing upon, his own soul and the souls of his com rade" and father and mother and brothers and sisters far away? No, no ! His laugh will ring out from tho saloon so that you hoar it as you pass by, but it Is hollow laughter. In it is the snapping of heart strings and the rattle of prison gates. Happy that young man happy? Let him fill high the bowl; ho cannot drown an upbraiding conscience. Let tho balls roll through the bowling alley ; tho deep rumble and the sharp crack cannot over power tho voices of condemnation. Let him wiiirl in the dance of sin and temptation and death ; all tho brilliancy of the scene cannot make him forget tho last look of his mother when ho left home, when she said to him : "Now, my son, you will do right ; I am sure you will do right. You will, won't you?" That young man happy? Why, across every night there flit shadow3 of eternal darkness ; there are adders coiled up in every cup ; thero aro vultures of despair striking their iron beaks into his heart ; there are skeleton fingers of grief pinching at the throat. I come in amid the clicking of the glasses and under tho flashing of tho chandeliers, and I cry : "Woe! Woo! Tho way of the ungodly shall porish. There is no peace, saith my God, to tho wicked. The way of transgressor is hard." Oh, my friends, there is more joy in one drop of Christian satisfaction than in whola rivsrs ot sintul de light. Other wings may be drenched of tho storm and splashed of tho tempost, but tho dove tht comes In through tho window of this heavenly ark has wings llko th3 dove covered with silver and her feathers with yellow gold. Again, I remark, religion is an adornment in the style of usefulness into which it in ducls a man. Here are two young men. Tho one has lino culture, exquisite wardrobe, plenty of friends. rroat worldly success, but he lives for himself. His chiof care is for his own comfort. Ho lives usoless'y. He dies un regretted. Here is another young man. His apparel may not bo so good : hi? educa tion may not be so thorough. Ho lives for others. His happiness is to mako others happy. He is as self denying as that dying soldier falling in tho ranks, when ho said: "Colonel, there is no need of tho3oboys tir ing themselves by carrying mo to the hos pital. Lot me die just where I am." Bo this young man of whom I spoak loves God, wants all the world to love him, is not ashamed to carry a bundle of clothes up that dark alley to the poor. Which of those young men do you admiro tho bettor? Tho ouo a sham, the othor a prince imperial. Oh, do you know of anything, my hearer, that is moro beautiful than to see a young man start out for Christ? Hero is soino one falling ; ho lifts him up. Here is a vagabond boy ; ho introduces him to a mission school. Hero is a family freezing to death ; ho carries tiiem a scuttle of coal. Thero aro 800,000, 01)0 perishing in midnight heathen darkness. By all possible means he trie3 to send them the gospel. Ho may be laughed at, and ho may be sneered at, and he may be cari catured, but he is not svshamed to go every where saying- "I am not ashamed of tho gospel of Christ. It is the power of God and tho wisdom of God unto salvation." Such a young man can go through every thing. There is no force on earth or in hell that can resist him. 1 3how you threo spec tacles Spectacle tho First Napoleon passed by with the host that went down with him to Egypt and up with him through Russia and crossed the continent on tho bleeding heart of which ho set his iron hool, and across the quivering flesh of which he wont grinding the wheels of his gun carriages in his dying moment asking his attendants to put on his military boots for him. Spectacle tho Second Voltaire, bright and learned and witty and eloquent, with tonguo and voico and strategom infernal, warring against Ood and poisoning whole kingdoms with his iuli-.iolity, yet applauded by tho clapping hands oi thrones and em pires and continents hi3 last words, in delirium supposing Christ standing by tho bedside his last words, "Crush that wretch !" Spectacle the Third Paul Paul, insigni ficant in person, thrust out from all rellned association, scourged, spat on, hounded like a wild beast from citv to city, yet trying to make the world good and heaven full ; an nouncing resurrection to those who mourned at tho bnrred sates of the dead ; speaking consolations which light up tho eyes o widowhood and orphanage and want with glow o certain and eternal release ; un daunted before those who could take his life, hi3 cheek flushed with transport and his eye on heaven ; with one hand shaking defiance at all tho foes of earth and all tho principalities of hell, and with tho other hand beckoning messenger angols to come and bear him away as he says : "I am now ready to be offerod, and the time of my de parture Is at hand. I have fought tho good tight ; I have finished my courso ; I have kept the faith. Henoeforth there Is laid up for mo a crown of righteousness, which tho Lord, tho righteous Judge, will give mo." Which of tho throe spectacles do you most admire? When the wind of death struck the conqueror and the lnlldel, they were tossed like sea gulls in a tempest, drenched of tho wave and torn of the hurricane, their dismal voice3 hoard through the everlasting storm, but when tho wave and the wind of death struck Paul, liko an albatross, he made a throne of tho tempest and one day floated away into the calm, clear summer of heaven, brighter than the dove, its wings covered with silver, and its feathers with yellow gold. Oh, are you not In lovo with such a religion a religion that can do so much for a man while he lives and so much for a man when he comes to die? I suppose you may have noticed tho con trast between the departure of a Christian and tho departure of an infidel. Diodorus, dying in chagrin because he could not com pose a joko equal to the joke uttered at the other end of tho table ; Zeuxis, dying in a tit of laughter nt the sketch of nn aged woman a sketch made by his own hand ; Mazarin, dying playing cards, his friend holding his hands becauso he was unable to hold them himself. All that on one side, compared with the departure of the Scotch. Minister, who said to his friends : "I have no interest as to whether I live or die. If I die I shall bo with tho Lord, and if I live the Lord will be with me." Or the last words of Washington, "It is well." Or the last word of Mcintosh, the learned and the great, "Happy !" Or the last word3 of Hannah More, the Christian poatess, "Joy!" Or those thousands of Christians who have gone saying: "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit ! Come, Lord Jesus, como quickly!" "O death, where ia thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?" Behold the contrast. Behold the charm of tho one, behold the darkness of the other. Now, I know it is very popular in this day for young men to think there is something more charming i-i skepticism than In religion. They aro ashamed of the old-fashioned re ligion of the cross, and they pride themselves on their free thinking on all these subjects. My young friends, I want to tell you what 1 know from observation that while skeptics ism is a beautiful land at tho start, it is a great Sahara desert at the last. Years ago a minister's son went off from home to college. At college he formed the acquaintance of a young man whom I shall call Ellison. Ellison was an infidel. Ellison scoffed at religion, and the minister's son soon learned from him the infidelity, and when he went home on his vacation broke his father's heart by his denunciations of Christianity. Time passed on. and vacation came, and the minister's son went off to spend the vacation and was on a journey and came to a hotel. The hotel keeper sai l : "I am sorry that to-night I shall have to put you ia a room adjoining one where there Is a very sick and dying man. I can give you no other accommodation." "Oh," said the young college student and minioter's Bon, "that will make no difference to me, except tho matter of sympathy with anybody that is suffering." The young man retired to his room, but could not sleep. All night long he heard the groaning of the sick man or the step of the watchors, and his soul trembled. He thought to himself: "Sow, there Is only a thin wall between mo and a departing spirit. Uow If Ellison should know how I feel? How if El lison should know Low my heart flutters? What if Ellison knew my skepticism gave way?" He slept not. In the morning, coming down, ho said to the hotel keeper, "How is the sick man?" "Oh," said the hotel keeper, "he Is dead, poor fellow. The doctors told us ho could not last through the night." "Well," said the young man. "what waa the sick one's name where is he from?" "Well," said the hotel keeper, "ho is from Provi loneo Col lege." "Providence College! What Is his name?" "Ellison. "Ellison!" Oh, how the young man was stunned ! It was hia old college mate dead without any hope. It was many hours before tho young man could leave that hotel. Ho got ou his horse and started homeward, and all the way he' heard something saying to him: "Dead I Lost ! Dead ! Lost !" ne came to no satis faction until he entered the Christian life, until he entered the Christian ministry, until he became one of the most eminent mission aries of the cross, the greatest Baptist mis sionary the world has ever seen since the days of Paul no superior to Adoniram Judson. Mighty on earth, mighty in heaven Adoni ram Judson. Which do you liko the best, Judson's skepticism or Judson's Christian life, Judson's suffering for Christ's sake, Judsom's almost martyrdom? Oh, young man, take your choice between these two kinds of lives. Your own heart tolls you this morning tho Christian life is more admir able, moro peaceful, moro comfortable and more beautiful. Ob, if religion does so much for a man on earth, what will it do for him in heaven? That is tho thought that comes to mo now. If a soldier can afford to shout "Huzza!" when he goes into battle, how much moro jubilantly ho can afford to shout "Huzza!" when he has gained tho victory. If religion is so good a thing to have hero, how bright a thing it will bo in heaven ! I want to see that young man when the gloriosof heaven have robod and crowned him. I want to hear him sing when all huskinesg of earthly colds is gouo and ho risos up with the great doxology. I want to know what standard ho will carry when inarching under arches of pearl in the army of banners. I want to know what company ho will keep in the land where thoy aro till kings and queens forever and I ever. If I have induced ono of you this ! ...mtniv 1t.iirin u 1 w tt .t 1 i f fVwin T wiinl tn ll.U. 11 11.. IU injill. (b ."IVt . t 1 - " . I. 1. 1 . V .V know it. I may not in this world clasp hands with you in friendship. I may not hear from your own lips the story of temptation and sorrow, but I will clasp hand3 with you when the sea is passed and tho gates aro en tered. That I might woo you to a better life, and that I might show you tho glories with which God elotlies His dear children in heaven, I wish I could this morning swing back one of the twelve gates that there might dash upon your ear ono 6hout of tho triumph; that thero might flarno upon your eyos one blaza of the splendor. Oh, wThen I speak of that good land, you involuntarily think of somo one there that you loved father, mother, brother, sister or dear little child garnered already. You want to know what they are doing this morning. I will tell 3-ou what they aro doing. Singing ! You want to know what they wear. I will tell you what they wear. Coronets of triumph ! Y'ou wonder why oft they look to the gate of tho temple and watch and wait. I will toll you why they watch and wait and look to tho gate of tho temple. For your coming-! I shout upward the news to-day, fori am sure somo of you will re pent and start for heaven : "Oh, ye bright ones before the throno, your earthly friends aro coming ! Angols poising midair, cry up the namo ! Gatekeeper of hoaven, send for ward tho tidings ! Watchman on tho battle ments celestial, throw the signal !" "Oh," you say, "religion I am going to have. It is only a question of time." My brother, I am afraid that you may lose heaven the way Louis Philippe lost his em pire. Tho Parisian mob came around the Tuileries, tho national guard stood in de fense of tho palace, and the commander said to Louis Philippe : "Shall I lire now? Shall I order the troops to lire? With ono volley we can clear tho placo." "No," said Louis Philippe, "not yet." A few minutes passed on, and then Louis Philippe, seeing tho case was hopeless, said to the general, "Now is tho time to lire." "No," saidtho general, "it is too into now. Don't you ceo that the soldiers aro exchanging arms with tho citi zens? It is too late." Down wont tho throno of Louis Thilippe. Away from tho earth went the houso of Or leans, and all becauso tlie king said, "Not yet, not yet !" May God forbid that any of you should adjourn thi3 great cubjoct of re ligion and should poslpono assailing your spiritual foes until it is too late, too late you losing a throno in heaven tho way that iiouis Philippe lost a throne on earth.

Prudento de Moraes Elected to Suc ceed Pelxoto. PRTJPENTE DE MOEAES. Tresident-elect Prudente do Moraes, ol Brazil, says Harper's Weokly, was born about fifty years ago of wealthy and in fluential parents in Piracieaba, a large and important city in the middle of the coffee zone of the groat State of San Paulo. He was educated in the bast schools of his native country and adopted law as a pro fession. Ho early went into politics, and gained distinction a? representative of hi.s native State in the Lower House o ' Parlia ment in the days of the Empire. His courso there as a republican in a very small min ority was modorate, and distinguished for consummate tact and dignity. He made good use of his thorough knowlodgo of parliamentary laws and U3ages. and em ployed his ability as a debator to good ad vantage for his cherished republican prin ciples. . In 1889, when the Republic was declared, Moraes was assigned the difficult position of Governor of San Paulo, which State he or ganized against the wealthy and influential monarchical party, which, though now in the minority, still shows formidable strength, defraying, as it does, the larger part of tho expenses of the revolution that started in Rio Grande do Sul. In 1890 San Paulo sent him to the Constituent Assembly, called for the purpose of promulgating the Republic's constitution, and he was unanimously elected President by that body. He was then elected Vice-President of the Senate, of which, ow ing to Peixoto's elevation tothe Chief Magis tracy Of the Nation, he has been the only ac tual presiding officer. Minister Mendonca, who was a fellow-student in law with President-elect Moraes, describes him as appar ently a man of most gentle nature, but in reality very energetic and uncompromising, though just, impartial, and, above all, tact ful. He will not take office until November 15, unless Peixoto resigns in the interests of peace on or after May 3, when Congress as sembles. The King of Denmark say that Russia, Austria, Italy and Spain arc willing to co operate in reducing military expenditures. MURDERED BY STRIKERS. FATAL RIOTS IN THE PENN SYLVANIA COKE REGION. J. If.

Three hundred deputy sheriffs have been sworn in and armed with Winchester rifles for the protection of life and property. The strikers aro prepared to go to any longth to gain the point of having every mine and oven in tho section abandoned. Nino per sons, it is said, have been killed and several wounded. The actions of the foreigners, and espe cially the killing of an official of tho Frick Coko Company, so incensed the better class of peoplo that there was talk of lynching tho men who did tho killing. The war began jit daylight at tho Trotter plant. About 1000 men camped in tho woods during tho night and at daybreak marched on the men who had refused to join them. Ono after another plant was raided and tho workers driven from tho ovens and forced to flee for tiieir lives. Tho deputy sheriffs could do nothing with the mob. Several of tho non-unionists were badly beaten and left for dead. Tho wives of the strikers joined thorn and led in tho assaults. At only ono place did tho rioters meet with much resistance. This was at tho Davidson plant of the Frick Coko Company. About 3 o'clock a mob of 500 strikers gathered at the plant and demanded that tho non-unionists throw down their tools. Chief Engineer Joseph II. Paddock or dered his men to stand lirm. This order was the sequel for a fusilade of stones, slugs and pieces of iron. Paddock was struck in a dozen places and fell senseless. Then one of tho mob shot him through tho back of tho head. Having seared tho non-unionists away from tho plant, tho mob retroatod to ward Connellsvillc. A posso was hurriedly formed and started in pursuit of tho rioters. Tho latter passed around Connollsvillo and wero met ou tho Youghinghony River bridge and wero or dered to half. They refused and the posso opened lire. One of tho Hungarians fell, mortally wounded and died in a few minutes. A terriblo hand 10 hand struggle took place. Guns, revolvers, blackjacks and clubs were used, Threo moro men were killed and forty-three of tho rioters wero clubbed into submission and were taken badly wounded to tho Connellsvillo jail. Among tho prisoners is the man who shot Paddock. Sheriff Wiihelm ordered tho prisoners removed to Uniontown. Assistant Chief Engineer Cole, of the Frick Company, took part in tho defense of tho Davidson plant and was badly injured, but will recover. He assisted tho deputies ou tho bridge, although badly wounded. Several small battles took place in different parts of tho region, and in these, it is said, two persons were killed and many wounded. Several of tho riotors arrested on the bridge will not recover. At 10 o'clock p. m. there wero sixty-fout rioters in tho Uniontown jail. Outside a wild mob clamored for their release. Appeals wero made to tho Governor fOL troops. Thero aro several companies of the Tenth Regiment around Connollsvillo, and they, as well as tho Pittsburg regiment, were hourly expecting to bo ordered out. Camped iu Evorson Grove, near Scoltd.ile, wero 1500 strikers, mostly Hungarians, Poles and Slavs. They were huddle) around a hundred largo wood (Ires, and sym pathizers supplied thorn with provisions. CRISP DECLINES. ri Speaker Refuses tho Appolnt lueut aa, United States Senator. Speaker Charles F.

I was, as you know, unanimously nominated Speaker. In accepting that office I have incurred obliga tions to our party throughout the country. "A very large majority of the Democratic members of the nouso have united in a re quest that for tho remainder of this Congress I continue in the position to which they have elected me. They base this request upon grounds which I cannot, in modesty, repeat, but which I cannot, in duty, ignore. As Speaker I feel to some extent responsible for the action of tho House. I feel a pride in its organ ization, and have a settled purpose, so far as my influence extends, to have brought beforo it and voted upon bills which, if enacted into laws, will redeem to the full est extent our party pledges. Thus, I think, I will best serve the interests of the pec pie of Georgia. "I am grateful to you for the honor you have done me. I am grateful to the numer ous friends throu 'iout the State who have seemod pleased with and who have urged my acceptance of my appointment, and beg that you and they will boiieve what I in the ut most sincerity say, that in declining it I am sacrificing a cherished ambition to what I regard as a sensa of duty.
