The seven golden candlesticks Were find tire tho churches. ; Mark yoa, tho chttrrl.es ever wejee, and never an bo, candles. Tbey iro only candlesticks. They are not the, light, but they are to hold the light. A iroom In the night might have in it 500 can jllostlcke, tend yet you could not see your" linnd bolore your face. The only Use of a candlestick and the only ttso of a church is to bold up tho light. You see it is a dark world, tho night of tdn, the night of trouble, the night of superstition, the night of per secution, the night of poverty, the night of sickness, tho night of death. Aye, about Ilfty nights have interlocked their shad ows. The whole race goes stumbling over prostrated hopes, and fallen fortunes, and empty flour barrels, and desolated cradles and deathbeds. How much wo have use lor nit tho seven candfestloks, with lights iilaxlng from tho top of each one of thorn! Light of pardon for all elnl Light of com fort for all troublel Light of encourage ment for all despondeneji Light of eter nal riches for all povortyl Light or rescue tor all persecution!- Light of re Union for all the bereft! Light of heaven tor all the dying! And that light is Christ, who is the light that shall yet irradiate tho hemispheres. But, mark you, when I say churches aro not candles, but candlesticks, I cast no Blur on candlesticks. I believe in beautl rul candlesticks. The candlesticks that God ordered for the ancient tabernacle Were something exquisite They wero a dream of beauty carved out of lovelinees. They wero made of hammered gold, stood la a foot of gold and had six branches of gold blooming all along in six lilies of gold each and lips of gold, from which the can dies lifted their holy fire. And the best bouses In any elty ought to be the churches the best built, tho best ventilated, the best swept, the best windowed and the best chandellerod. Log cabins may do in neighborhoods where most of the peoplo live la log cabins, but let there be palatial churches for regions where many of the people live in palaces. Do not have a bet ter place for yoursoil than for your Lord and King. Do not live In a parlor and put your Christ In u kitchen- These seven candlesticks of wbfch I speak were not made of pewter or iron; they were gold en candlesticks, and gold Js not only a valuable but a bright metal. Have every thing about your church bright your ushers with smiling faces, your music jubi lant, your handshaking cordial, your en tire service attractive. Many people foel that io church they must look dull, in or der to look leverential, and many whose faces I u other kinds of assomblage show all the different phases of -emotion havo in church no more expression than the back wheel of a hearse. Brighten up and be rc spouslvo. If you feel like weeping, weep. If ou feel like smiling, smile. It you feel indignant at somo wrong assailed from the pulpit, frown. Do not leave your natural ness and resiliency home because It is Sun day morning. If as officers of a church yoa meet peoplo at tbe church door with a Mack look, and have the roaslc black, and the minister in black preach a black ser mon, and from invocation to benediction have the Impression black, few will come, and those who do come will wish they had not come at all. Golden candlesticks! 6cour up the six lilies on each branch, and know that the nor lovely and Lrlght tbev are the mora fit tbey are to bold the light. But a Christies light is a damage to the world rather than a good. Cromwell stabled his cavalry horses in St. rani's Cathedral, and many now use the church in which to stable vanities and worldllness. A worldly church is a candlestick without the candle, and it bad its prototype in St. Sophia's In Constantinople, built to (be glory of God by Constnntine, but transformed to base uses by Mohammed the Second. Bulit out of rolored marble; a cupola with twenty- fntir irlniins-a anarlnfv tn n Vt I r h f nf IK1 feet; the celltwg one great bewilderment of . t 1 1 t i - a cclumus of porphyry and atxty-teven col ttmosof green Jnsuer: sine bronze djora with alto-relievo rork, fascinating to tha cj-v oi any aritfci; vases ana TesimtBis in tutted with all manner of precious stones.

A great chnrcb. bnt ud Christ! A gorgeous eandleaticE, but no candle! Ten thousand fcbcb cburckes would not give the world as much light as one home-made tallow can dle by which last night some grandmother In tbe eighties pat on her spe&lcies and read tho Psalms of David in larger type. Up with tbe churches, by aJl meani! Hun dreds of them, thousands of them, and the more the better. But let each one be a blaze of heavenly light, making the world trigbter and brighter, tllifhe last shadow bas disappeared, and tbe last of the suf fering children of (Sod ahali have reached (be land Where they have nd need of can dlet!ek tr "of eandh, neither light of the sun, for the Lord God giveth them Jlghr, and they shall reign forever and ever." Turn how in your Bible to the seven elnrs. We aro distinctly told tbat they aro If! r?le ?llT.BJl a"i"4 tnera fcWeen a wids rlretilt and ho tan nf p-vbu-w wa, m7i cruas vcwSf oviuv va them a small circuit, but so far- as they are genuine they got their light frOm the great central sun around which they make revolution-. Let each' one keep In bis own sphere. The solar system would be soon wrecked if tbe stars, Instead of keeping their own orbits, should go to bunting down other stars. Minister of rellelon should never clash. But in all tho cen turies til tbe Christian church somo of these stars have been bunting an Edward irving or a Horace Uusnneli or an Albert Bnrne?. And tbe stars that were in rur- sult of the other stars tost their own orbit. and some of them coU!d never again find it. Abis (Of tbe heresy hunters! The best way td destroy error is to preach the trutb. The bst way to scatter darkness Is to etiike a light. There is in Immensity room enough for all tbe minister?. The ministers who give up righteousness and the truth will get punishment fnobga any how, for they nf ''tbe wandering stars lor whom is reserved the bl-.ckuess of dark ness forever." I should lllce, as n minister, when I am dying, to be able tiutbfully to eay what A enptnin of tht-KnjrlMh ftrtf.V, fallen at the Uead-of lift CClUmn ahd dying On tlio Egyp tlnn Luttlotield, fta'id to General Wolseleyj : who came to condo'e with him: "I led them f-lralght-.

Great at last will be our hagrln If we fall leading tho people the wrong way; but great will Ce our gladness if. when tli bftttl&'ls over, wo can hand our hffOf .l back to our great Commander. paying: "Lord Jesuh! AVe led the people straight! Didn't we lead them straight?" The minis-tors are not all Pecksniffs and canting hypocrites, as some Would have you tulnk! rorglvo me, If having at olhef times glorlfled the medical profession, and ttiMlertitl profossIoDi and tho literary p.o foss'on-I glorify my own, I have seen them in their homes and heard them la their pulpits, and a grander array of men never brbatlicd, and tho Biblo figure Is not strained when it calls them stars: and whole constellations CI glorious ministers havn!reAdy taken their places on high, where tbey shine even brighter than they fhono oa earth; Edward N. Kirk, of the Congregational Church; Stephen H. Tyng, of tho Episcopal jChurcb; Matthew Simp son, of the Methodist Church; John Dowl Ing, of the Baptist Church; Samuel K. Tal mage, of tho Presbyterian Church; Thomas i)9 Witt, of the lleformed Church: John Chambers, of tho Independent Chureb.and . there I stop, for it so happens that I have mentioned the seven stars of the seven churches. I pass on to another mighty Bioie seven and they aro the seven seals. St, John in vision saw a scroll with seven seals, and he heard an angel cry, "Who is worthy to. loose the seals thereof?" Take eight or ten sheets of foolscap paper, paste them together and roll them Into a scroll, and have tbe scroll at seven different places sealed with sealing wax. You unroll the scroll till you come to one of these seals, and then you can go no farther until you break that seal; then unroll again until you come to another seal, and you can go no farther until you break that seal; then you go on Until all tho seven seals are broken, ana the contents of the eutire scroll revealed. Now that scroll With seven seals held by the angel was the prophecy of what was to come on the earth; it meant that the knowledge of tbe future was with God, and no man and no angel was worthy to open it; but the Bible says Christ opened it and broke all the sev en seals. Ho broke the first seal and un rolled tho scroll, and there was a picture of a white horse, ana that meant prosperity and triumph fr the Boman empire, and so It really came to pass that for ninety years virtuous Oinperors succeeded each other Nerva, Trajan and Antoninus. Christ in thavl3lon brpke the second seal and un rolled again, and there was a picture of a red horse, and that meant bloodshed, and so it really came to pass, and the next ninety years were red with assassinations and wars. Then Christ broke tbe third seal and unrolled It, and there was a picture of a black horse, which in all literature means fantne, oppression and taxatton; and so it really came to pass. Christ went on un til lie broke all the seven seals and opened all the scroll. Well, tbe future of all of us is a sealed scroll, and I am glad that no one but Christ can open it. Do not let us join that class of Christians in our day, who are trying to breakthe seven seals or the ruiure. They are trying to peep into things they have no business wit a. Do not go to some necromancer or spirit ualisttor soothsayer or fortune teller to And out what Je going to happen to your self or your fanily or your friends. Walt till Christ breaks tbe seal to And out whether in your own personal life or the lite of the nation or the life of the world it Is going to be the white horse of prosperity or the red horso of war or the black horso of famine. You will soon enough see him paw and hear him neigh. Take care of tbe present, and the future will take care of itself. It a man live seventy years, his biography Is in a scroll having at least seven seals, and let him not during the first ten vears of bis life try to look Into tbe twenties, nor the twenties Into the thirties, nor the thirties Into the forties, nor the forties into the fifties, nor the fifties into the sixties, nor th6 sixtres into the seventies. From the way tbe years have got the habit of racing along. I guess you will not have to wait a great while before all tho seals of the future are broken.. I would not give two cents to know bow long I am going to live, or in wbat day of what year the world is going to be demolished. I would rather give $1000 not to know. Suppose some one could break the next seal in the scroll of your personal history and sho ili telt you that on tho next 4th of July, 1901. yoa were to die, the summer after next, how much would you be good for between this and that? It would from now until then be a prolonged funeral. You would be counting tbe mouths and the days, and your family and friends would be counting them, and next 4th of July you would rub your bands together and whine: "One year from to-day I am to go. Dear mel I wish no one bad told me so long be fore. I wish that necromancer - bad not broken the seal of tbe future." And meet ing some undertaker, you would say: "I hope you will keep yourself free for an en gagement the 4th of July, 1901. That day you wil be needed at my house. To save time, you might as well take my .fleas are now, five feet eleven Inches." I am glad that Christ drappod a tiilck Veil over the, honc-ot our ticmls and of tb hour of tb.3 world's destruction when lie said, "Of that , day and boar knowetb no man; no, not ta aogau, out my rattier oniy." fceepycur bands off the ivn seals. DREYFUS BACK in mi EXILE LA5DS AT QUIB0R03 U5- DEB HE ATT GUARD, tXClTEMENT OF MODERATE ORDER Thv Noted Prisoner IS Placed la Confine meotat lUnnet to Await the UstIbIob Trial. A cable diapatch from .Bennes, France, states that Captain. Dreyfus landed at Qaiboron Friday and waa conveyed by train to Brur. There he entered a landau, -accompanied by the chief of detective- and the prefect in the afternoon and was driven to Ben nes, where twenty -fire gendarmes waiied hid entrance into the town. Ten of the gendarmes entered A wag on and followed the carriage. The rest followed on foot The party ar rived at the prison without incident. A large crowd assembled and witness ed the arrival in silence and without manifestation; " The authorities had arranged a se cret landing at the little Tillage of Moulin Blanc, about four miles from Brest, but the vigilance of the news paper men led to a change in the ar rangements and Dreyfus was disem barked at Quiboron, in Britflnny, near L'Orianr, where the telegraph office closes at 9 p. m., thus rendering it impossible to telegraph to Bennes the fact of his arrival. ' It is also said that tho government had advices from Aioresj when the 8iaS passed Fayal, that the health of iJreyius was pre8arioU. This is held in some quarters to, explain the anx iety to prevent the public seeing him. The Parisian public is rather, listless about his arrival, and there was no excitement at Bennes, although the railway station there was full of re porters awaiting- the coming of the. famous prisoner. " COLORED MINERS AMBUSHED, A Ttaln Load Is Fired Upon By Large Party of Strikers. A special from Marion 111., says: Friday ) as the train on the Illinois Central, carrying a coachload of ne groes from Pana to Brush's mines, one mile north of Cartersville, Etopped at the Fredonia mine, three miles north west of Cartersville, a large number of striking union miners opened fire on the negroes, killing one woman and wounding about twenty others, i Before the bloody work could be carried further, the train palled out for Johnston City. The miners numbered fifty, and were armed with rifles, and were hid den In -grass behind the country de pot. When the train stopped, the leader, who was an Italian, got on the platform and commanded the negroes to get out. Conductor Bryan interferred, but was stopped by a revolver in his face. The train began to move, and the miners poured in a withering fire. Conductor Bryan yelled to the negroes to throw themselves on the floor. All escaped serious wounds save the wo man, who was killed instantly. When the train reached a point one mile north of Brush's mine the negroes were unloaded and marched across the country to their destination. It is said that a majority of the rioters were negroes, whom Brush brought from the south about a year ago, and have since joiped the union. There is great excitement in the neighborhood of the Brush mine, and a battle between the working negroes, who are well armed, and the strikers, who are "on the ground ready for a fight, may be precipitated at any. mo ment. Superintendent Brush wired for Sheriff Gray immediately after the riot, and asked for protection. The sheriff went at once to the scene, but he took no deputies with him. He had no guns to arm them.

Jjeare being granted, the faithful wife enter ed the prison almost unobserved and was conducted to cell No. 830, accom panied by Mme. Havlet. The meeting between the long-parted husband and wife can be better imag ined than described. Naturally it was most touching. Both Dreyfuaand his wife were deeply affected. They re mained long clasped in each other's arms, tears and smiles intermingling with tender endearments. Mme. Dreyfus issued from the pris on in a state of collapse. She found her husband much aged with beard and hair whitened and body shrunken and stooped. She said Dreyfus knew nothing of the events of the past two years, ; ; - J' MIXERS BURN TOWJf. .

'. The negros then advanced on the woods where the union miners were concealed, and until daylight a f usi lade was kept up between the factions. MOKE HOMESTEAD TROUBLE. Union Men Demand Reinstatement and Officials Refuse To Comply. A Pittsburg dispatch says: "There now seems to be no doubt that there will be an extensive strike at the big Homestead plant of the Carnegie Steel Company. . The question at issue is practically the same as in 1892 recog nition by the company of the Amalga mated Association. The men seem determined to stand by their union, while the company has announced that no amalgamated association men can be employed in its plant. .The present trouble was precipi tated Fridry Vhen a committee of thirteen went to Superintendent Co rey to" demand the reinstatement of fifteen union men who. had been dis charged." , Mr. Corey and President C.

STEAMER SINKS; NINE ARE LOST Disaster Result of a Violent Storm On Lake Erie. FOUR OF THE CREW RESCUED Captain, Wife and 5on Among the DrownedOthers Were - Seamen and a Passenger. : A Chicago dispatch says: The steamer Margaret Olwill, owned by M. P. Smith, of Cleveland, went down in the storm off Lorain, Lake Erie,' last Wednesday night. Nine people were lost, including Captain John Brown, his wife and son and Miss Baldwin, a passenger. The Olwill, of 551 tons, was bound from- Kelley's Is land to Cleveland with limestone, her cargo shifting in the heavy sea, send ing her down by the stern. Those who went down with the vessel were: Captain John Brown, wife and child, of Cleveland. First Engineer Alex McClay, of Cleveland. Second Engineer Budolph Shinski, St. Clair, Mich. First Mate John Smith, Cleveland. Wheelsman George Heffron, Cleve land. . Watchman Frank Hipp, of Kelley's Island. - Mrs. Cora A. Hitchcock, a passen ger. "-; ' ' - -The Olwill left Kelley's Island at 6 o'clock Wednesday night bound for Cleveland with a cargo of stone. There was little or no wind blowing and ev erything was favorable for . a pleasant run. At 8 o'clock the wind began to blow from the northwest and the little boat with a thousand tons capacity be gan to go at a lively clip. . At 10 o'clock the gale commenced in earnest and the wind blew at the rate of fifty miles an hour." Suddenly the gale turned to the northeast. Cap tain Brown found that the boat was making little headway, and concluded the only thing to do was to fura back and go with the storm. According to the story of Coyle it was 2 o'clock when the captain gave orders to tnrn back. The vessel had turned half way round when the rudder chain parted, and in an instant the boat was at the mercy of the storm. She was caught between two waves and as she was borne along thetojp of one of them she rolled over on - one side. The cabins were torn loose, and floated on the water while the rest of the ship went to the bottom. Coyle caught hold of a part of the after cabin and climbed upon it. Heffron was clinging to a part of the same cabin. Captain Willonghby, of the steamer State of Ohio, sighted the wreckage about 5:15 in the morning directly in the course from Cleveland to Toledo. The big steamer immediately put into service her life-saving crew, and after failing around the , wreckage for an hour and a half, Coyle was rescued. Heffron was' thrown a line, but he was too weak to hold it, and went down in the presence of a large crowd on board Jthe steamer. Several attempts were made to get the yawl boat in the wa ter, but the sea was still running high and the work was extremely perilous. Heffron's death was a pathetic one. As he grabbed the rope, encouraged by the crowd, he made a superhuman effort to pnt the rope around his body, but he was too weak and fell exhaust ed into the waves. i - Three Men Picked Up. . A dispatch from Cleveland, 0.,says: Smith, McBde and Shinski were res cued by members of the crew of the steamer Sacramento and taken into Lorain by the tug Cascade. The res cued members of the crew were found floating on the surfaoe of Lake Erie clinging to bits of wreckage.

"Later during the day the J farm mule and milch cow appeared to be suffering intensely.1. r Excitement runs high and many people have openly' charged foul play, and some have gone so far as to charge that the family was poisoned by some enemy, and the names of two or three persons have been mentioned in that connection, but there has been no evi dence deduced which tends to crimi nate any special person.

The .physician did not feel justified, under the circumstances, in holding a post mortem examination, but is not satis fied in his own- mind as to the cause -of the death of the two children and the illness of the other members of the family. It is believed by many, however, that a wholesale attempt at poisoning has been made. HOWLING MOB IK BRUSSELS. Bel (1 urn's Capital tho Seene of DlsgTaeefa! Acts of Revolutionists.
