AFTER THE RAIN ON LONG ISLAND REGAL ROBES, NO ANARCHISTS IN PLYMOUTH. plauded the good words and deods ot the dele eaBcWelIeIn'B cigar factory, at the corner of Third avenue and Twenty third street, tho proprietor of which, It is said, locked out his mon Saturday night because they would not renounce the union, was brouuht to tho attention of the delegates by a member of Union No. 87.

He requested that the car drivers and conductors in that vicinity patronize shops that employ union men and aro conducted by persons friendly to organized labor. The Grievance Committee will Inquire Into the matter. The delegate from BarberB' Union No. 1 said that the new union cards would be ready for delivery gotno time this week. A member of the Hat Makers' Association Informed tho delegate that there was a barber on Myrtle avenue, named Cowell, who, he had been told, displayed a union card at one time, but is now bo violently opposed to the Union that he haB a card hung up in hlB shop reminding his customers that "ThFs is no union shop." It appeared to the delegate that Cowell was inviting a boycott of the most vigorous kind, and If, on investigation, the fighting barbor is disposed to give battlo, tho instruments of war should be placed in position and Mr.

Cowell be mado to feol tho measure of a retribution he has earned. Tho matter was referred to the Grievance Committee. The Shoemakers' Protootivo Association complained of tho proprietor of a store on the cornor of Fulton and Gold streets for Belling Hanan Sons goods. An organization of "flcahs," ho said, had been formed and thoy oxpectod to obtain recognition by Joining the Federation of Trades, which is to moot in Baltimore shortly. His association would Bend on a protost which he thought would bo recognized and the non union men kept out.

Thoy were employed In Hanau Sons' factory and consequently woro not straight. Tho committee that had boon lntrustod with the dellcato task of bringing the two waiters' unions of this city together in harmony succeeded admirably and so reported. In addition tlio chairman of the commlttoo Bald, Waitors' Union No. 5 will be known hereaftor as the Brooklyn Waiters' Protective Union." The roport was receivod aud on motion adoptod. A member of Tailors' Union No.

3 ondoavored to revive the rasa nf tho condemned Anarchists by word of Dr. Parkor's sermon. If the attendance ot these services is any guldo for estimating what will be the attendance at tho Academy of Music Tuesday next, when the Rev. Dr. Parkor deliver his eulogy on Mr.

Beecher, the Acadomy will be much too small to hold all who will dosiro to be present Dr. Parkor took for his toxt Acta "He lodged with one Simon, a tanner, whose nouso is by the seaside," and said in substance: Tho man spoken of is Simon Peter. What havo wo to do with tho name or avocation 1 That would only have to do with those who desired to know tho nddross of tho host. In nil this wo are wrong. Thero is perhaps no moro frequent text in the Bi blo.

It is in fact tho Bible in a sense. Lot me ask your serious attention to grDtosrpio matter out of which will como sanctuary and holiness and the love of God, and almost heaven Itself. You know tho Lovito law of marriago. If a man died his wife married his brother, but if that brother was by occupation a tanner the law was, ot none effect. If a woman married without finding out that her bridegroom was a tanner sho could afterward have the ceremony sot aside.

An ancient Kabbl said: "The world cannot do without taunors, but woo to that man who is a tanner." Tills tanner's houso was by the seaside. Ho was not allowed to livo in tho city. Ho was isolated aud mado to livo apart from tho other monibors of tho community. Thoy drove him to livo down by tho seaside and had ho not beon a necossily to them they would havo driven him Into the sea. Why lay so much stress on tho fact that it was Simon Peter who was living with the tanner.

Because it was Simon Poter who in his hunger hold up his hands ami said, "Not so Lord. 1 havo novor eaten anything common or unclean." Ho prided himself on his prejudices. The Jew was full of prejudices. Ho would nover mention the name of pig, but would run over the list of other animals and whon ho camo to pig ho would gather his robo about him and say with inoCfablo scorn, "and and that other thing." In his eyes tanners woro human pigs and all Gentiles woro nothing but pigs aud tanners. It meant somothlng, thou, when Simon Peter came and took lodgings with a tanner.

What has happened to Simon Poter, tho punctilious Jow, that ho should thus accept tlio Bhollor of a tanner's house? Has ho becomo a broad, philosophic agnostic? No, that is a false libel. Let us bo fair, lot us bo decent. Let us acknowledge facts when wo meet thorn. Somothlng had entered I'oter's heart and driven out prido and tilled its placo with lovo of all God's children. What was it that did this? What mado these changes? I insist that theso changes bo accounted for in frank language It was iho cross of Christ.

Look upon this Homau feast, where every man is hero and overy woman empress in moin. What are those llg uees gliding sadly by along the walls of the chamber. They are slaves. Despised ami accursed, not reckoned as human, the absolute property of their owners, branded aud beaten out of mere caprice, ii one of tho slavos woro to drop a crystal dish tho historian tolls us his ownor would havo bim thrown in tho horso pond. There would bo splash no more.

That queenly woman who talks so fluently on current topics to her companion and whoso laugh is 10 gay branded a slave girl when her toilet was over before she camo to the foast because a curl was misplaced. I seo another feast in a much more humble room whero tho lights are few and dim ami tho voices of tho minstrels aro not hoard. Tho proud Romans aud their slaves are there eating and drinking at tho fiamo table. Whose table? Be fair, bo decent. Whoso table? Christ's.

Slaves and thoir masters dwelling together in harmony, loving and helping each other. What did it? It was worth doiug. What did it, oil, yo ifomau "The lovo ot Christ cousumelh us." That is their answer. Wo must not tamper wilh it. We may cross examine, but wo must not alter one word of the auswer.

Tlio Cross of Christ availed to work this niiraclo of love, to break down the barriers of pride, to cast out prejudice, to draw men together and mako thorn lovo ouo another. That was tho leaven which undormincd all tho hoathen savagery of the Old World. Who will say that tlio thing was not worth doing? Take tho word of Charles Darwin. Xo one will accuso the author of tho "Origin of Species" and tho "Descent of Man of being a religious fanatic. In his "Voyago of tho lieagle" he described Torre del Fuogo as he found It His ship did not laud.

The danger was too great No known barbarians, no savages over seen by civilized men wero half so ferocious aud terrible as the inhabitants of Torro del Fuogo. Tlio Admiralty accepted Darwin's report mid warned ail ships not to touch at that laud, and Torro del F'uego was proscribed till Thomas Bridges, a young man who had boon a foundling, went to it armed Willi nothing but the love of Christ and worked such miracles among tho peoplo that they abandoned thoir barbarous practices. When Darwin hoard of this ho sent money for tlio mission, saying, "God bless Christianity and prosper it if it can work such miraelos of love." Wnat did It? Ob, yo young men who think yo have outgrown churches aud religions, tell me in tho cold, critical temper which befits such ignorance, tell mo what did in Let us bo Just and fair. Lot us bo decent oven if wo cannot bo magnanimous. What diil it? The cross of Christ.

Brethren, those miracles are the justification of the churches. If our religion only brings into being little theologios, If it expends its strength in developing petty expounders of nothing In particular, if it is good for nothing except to furnish matter lor a school of debaters the world can do without it. liut if it works such miracles of love as those, if it makes men dwell logeiher in peace and kindness, if it keeps adding to tlio source of human kindness ll is justified. They have taken away reason which ought to have been 11 pillar of tho sanctuary, and ihev are now trying to rob us of the word "practical. A man who is in buslnoss tolls you he is a practical man and hos no time to attend to rolig ion.

A man invents an electric light aud tells you he does not go lo church because he is no parson. Was ever a word pronounced with such scorn a3 that last one. liut the religion of Christ Is nothing if not practical. What is tlio making of a bridge or a new electric light to tho making of new mon and the Conning ot righteous cliara tors. Once tlio apostles wero impertinently healing tho people tho Snn he lrini and iho rulers of tho Jews determined that they must do something to put a stop to this interference with tlio operations of nature.

They camo upon the apostles with the idea of surpressing their work, but there standing with them was one of men they had healed. Thoy said nothing. Tho man who was restore 1 silouccd them. No arguments could destroy tho fact that ho was sick 110 longer. There is a grand field for such miracles to day.

Two wrestlers are Yislblo to all who look wiili the oyes of experience on the world of to day. Thoir names aro capital and labor. Thoy could bo reconciled Iloiv! By tlio Cross of Christ. By that cross which sent Simon Peter to tho tanner's house which brought tho Koman magnate und his slave to brotherhood, by the cross which conquered Torro del Fin go. I see two other wrestlers.

Thoir names aro tho rich and tho poor. It is hard for tho rich man to spoak to tho poor man except whon they are alouo and thero is nobody there to soo tlio degradation. Laughter. It is hard for tho poor man 10 carry himself wilh self respectful humility in the presence of U10 rieli man. "Thus" said Diogonos.

treading on Plato's robe, "do I put my foot on Plato's pride. "Aye," answered Plato, "wilh a greater pride of your own." After the sermon camo tho prayer beginning: "Oil, thou Saviour of tho world ride on conqiiot'lug aud to conquor." Impressions of Dr. I'urltcr. Such were the sermons which Dr. Parker's hearers listened to yestoi day.

Tho writer hoard bim for tho purpose of study In tho morning and disliked both matter ana mam. or. Tho matter seemed fragmentary and somewhat incoherent and to a great extent inappropriate. Mr. Boouher's death ought to havo been nn inspi ation, but it was not.

Tho pulpit from which tho most oioquont tongue in the world had spoken should have had a message for tho celobrated Loudon proaobor, but it had not, or if it had ho could not road it. As to tho mannor, that was unuttorably bad. Dr. Parkor hissed and growled and roared and whispered aud took somo words an shook them violently till their syllables flow apart; othors ho rolled out unctuously and othors again partly rolled partly snapped out Ho playod with tho words and got as much satisfaction out of affectations of pronunciation as a young Episcopal clergyman reading tho service of his church for the first time. But worst of all waa his distribution of omphasls that was absolutely moaningloss.

Sentence aftor sontonco of violent shouting about somo mero statement of fact. Tho doctor evidently nevor listened to himself in any critical spirit. Ho wont at his word plcturo making like a blind whitewashing man with a vory big brush and a vory full pail plenty of words, plenty of voice, plenty of slopping about, but no picture. Ho made such a nolso that the imagination had no chance to work. Ho scared all reverie away and made tho drums of his hearers' ears vibrato so fast that tho only thought their minds had room for was of annoyauco at tho meaningless uproar.

The speaker had all Dr. Taltnago's faults of delivery with many of his own addod, and seomod to bo still striving to acquiro now faults. Tills was tho writer's opinion of tho morning sermon. He heard Dr. Parker from the gallons of the church thon and did not catch tho wholo sermon.

In tho evonlng ho ilstonod again to Dr. Parkor and found that tho manner was not by any means so intolerable as it at first seomod. Emphasis certainly wa3 mlbusod, and there was plenty of growling, hissing and ranting, but It had coasod to annoy tho hearer. Ho had becomo usod to tho preacher's faults, and on thinking the mattor ovor ho romomborod that Dr. Talmago's first sermon affected him as unpleasantly bb did that of Dr, Parkor, whoreas Taltnage as a speaker is now de lightful to him.

Closo attention to tho mattor of tho ovonlng sermon showed it to bo of a high order. Tho text was woll chosen. Erudition was not obtrusive. Tho address was a modol of conciseness. Every sentence was prognnut Tho sormon was logical, convincing, liberal and broad.

In 0110 respect it roscmblod Mr. Boochor's sormons. It inslstod on tho valuo of Christian morality but said nothing ia advocacy of Christian thoology. In fact onco or twlco thero wero visible signs ot contempt for theologians aud roiiglous disputants. It advocated Christianity bocauso Christ tells us to lovo one another and because Ho knows no dif feronco botweon the children of God.

Thoro the ro Romblnnco to Mr. Boecher eudod. Truo, ho mado tlio pooplo laugh twlco, but it waa moroly at words and thero was no lasting powor bohind them. Whether or not ho has tho powor to move to toars no one who heard him last night can toll. Ho didn't attempt to wield pathos.

Taken on the whole the most carefully critical of Dr. Parker's hearers wero groatly pleased. Ho is a fine proachor. Ilo is certainly oioquont and moving when tho first dlsagrooablo iraprosslon produced by his mannor woro off. Scores said in tho church after tho evening sermon: "His mannor is bad, but his mattor vory good." What Supervisor Jamea JB.

Boll Thinks of Henry George. Last Fall Mr. James D. Bell ran for Congress in tho Third District Tho diatrlct la Republican and, as now constituted, has novor been carried by a Democrat Mr. BoU was defeated by only 174 votes.

Some years ago the late General Thomaa S. Dakin, who was the champion shot of tho American Rifle Team, waa nominated by the Democrats and came noar winning. General Dakln was not a pronounced Democratic politician, but his popularity, gained aa captain of the American toam, brought him thousands of votes. Threo years ago Mr. Darwin H.

James was the Republican candidate for Congress in the Third Diatrlct and won by a majority of 7,150 votes. Mr. Bell said last Saturday to an Eagle reporter regarding the vote of tho Latior party, and Henry George In particular: "I have only read ono of George's works, his Progress and Poverty," aud tho theories esprosaod therein seem to mo rather mixed. As a lawyer I transact considerable real estate business for clients. At tho present time Mr.

George's theory of taxation moro readily commands attention than any othor theory which ho may hold. Taxation among nil English spoaking nations has Oiled a large space in the struggles tor constitutional liberty. The' rule of assessment, according to my idea, is very imperfect Tho Amorican Revolution grow out of a tax strugglo, as overy schoolboy ovor 10 yoars of ago must know. I beliovo all proporty, personal or roal, should bo assessed according to its value. Mr.

George, In distinct opposition to this, holds that only tho land dlvoated of all Improvements should pay taxoa. In his view improvements represent porsoual capital, whilo laud ia a thing in itself which should not be treated as capital, and hore, 1 think, ia the fallacy in Mr. Goorgo'a argument Land may have originally boon appropriated, but that day has gono by. Evory aero and square foot, of land should bo sold tho same as other commoditlos. If I spend $3,000 in tho purchaso of a lot does it not represent $3,000 of my capital as fully as if I build a houso ou tho land which would cost mo $3.000 7 House and lot would cost mo $6,000.

Henry Georgo claims that it i3 unjust to tax improvements. I considered that if I hold $6,000 worth" of property I should be taxed for that amount. Mr. Goorgo holds that only the land shall bo taxed. He blunders frightfully.

Tako tho elevated railroads for instance. According to Mr. George's thoory tho roada could be taxod only for tho space occupied by tho foundations of thoir uprights about tliroo foot square whilo their rails aud stations escapo taxation as well as tho rolling stock. Now wo will assumo thore are two plot3 of land in this city that adjoin aud aro of the aamo value. Plot A ia owuod by a eapalist Plot Is tho proporty of a poor man.

Tho latter invests all hia earulnga in building a modest homo for his family and spends $3,000 on the houso. Tho owner of plot A orects a tonomont, costing $20,000 from which he gota a fair interest on tho monoy invostod. According to Mr. George's theory tho rich man should pay no moro taxes than the poor fellow next door, providing his laud is of tho same spaco. Tho poor jnan has probably a mortgago on hia littlo home and finds it hard very ofton to meet tho Intorost Thoro may bo Justico in tho theory, but it will hardly bo accepted a3 auch in practice.

Mr. Goorgo's thoory can only be successful if taxation takos from the owner of the land tho valuo of ita use, that Is, a fair rent, not counting in tho improvements. Hore again ho runs directly counter to tho Anglo Saxon and Amorican system of taxation, which is that the Government should only raise enough monoy by taxation to meet tho existing needs. According to Mr. Goorgo tho nooda of tho Government are not tho measure of taxation.

His idea is that laud should roturn a revonuo to tho Government equal to the rental; that is.without im provomouts. There sooms to bo a fallacy in hia suggestion that laud incroaaos in valuo by increasing donsity of population, whilo manufactured goods do not. Mon havo mado colossal fortunes iu tho sale of dry goods, notably A. T. Stow art and H.

B. Clauiu. Jacob Astor became land rich, but ho made hia flrat monoy aa a fur trador. 1 kuow, as a mattor of fact, that men who make it a business to speculate in building lots in thia city aro loaded up to tho oyoa with mortgagos; and still thoy aro looking for moro landod property that can bo bought with a fat sized mortgago attachod." Mr. Boll Is uow Supervisor of.

tho Xluoteouth Ward and his namo has boon mentioned iu connection with the Democratic nomination for Mayor. He declares ho is not a candidate. SERVICE OF SONG. A Smidav Eveuiujr Worship Iu tbo Central ConjrreEratioiial Cburch. The service of song which took placo in the Contral Congregational Church, Hancock street, last ovonlng, was ono of unusual oxcollonce.

The musical soloctions, tho devotional spirit in which they wore rondored, and tho solomnizlng ofloct upon tho crowded congregation wero such as to commonrt this form of Sunday ovonlng worship. Tho choir, under tho direction of Mr. Lowls H. Moore, orgauist, are Miss Maria King, soprano; Miss Kathrouo Cavannah, contralto; Mr. J.

H. Mo Kinlay, tonor, and Mr. J. II. Haaren, basso.

Tho ser vico oponod with an offortolro In minor on tho organ, followed by tho Te Deum iu (Buck) by tho choir. Tho Rov. Dr. Bohronda read an appropriate portion of Scripture and offered prayer. Thon camo tho quartot with "Mellow Kvo is Gliding." Tho congregation sang tho Sauc tus with great spirit.

Tho quartot gavo Saving Victim. "Mercy, Lord," wa3 tho aria by Mr. McKlnlay, tonor, followed by "Hoar My Prayer" from tho choir. Messrs. McKinlay and Haaren sang the duot, Saving Host" Miss Cavannah Bang tho Angol Voices," and Miss King sang the aria in "Jerusalem with tho quartet.

Tho choir sang The Evening Song," and tho congregation sang tho closing hymn, My Faith Looka Up to Thee." Buck'a Triumphal March," aftor the benediction, made a suitable close to tho evening's programme. Each member of tho choir performed tho duty called for with admirablo ability. Tho singing was clear and oxaltod in tone and was rendered with such spirit aud conception of tho sentiment belonging to worship as to command tho admiration of all who hoard it Dr. Behrenda very sensibly relinquished hia address, only expressing the dosiro that tho worshipful spirit which Ailed ovory hoart might remain aud not pass away as a shadow. ABDUCTED HIS OWN CHILD.

A I'atber fVbo Had Been Abandoned by llis Wile. Shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, whilo Sergeant Miloa O'Reilly, of tho Sixth Sub Precinct, waa soated bohind the desk, a email boy rushod broathlossly into tho station houso and handed him a loiter. It was wrltton in a lady's hand and requested tho Immediate attontion of the police in capturing a 6 yoar old child who, tho writer aliogod, had boon onticod into tho street aud kidnapped. The lottor was signed Mra, Victoria Wilson, 37 Ewon stroet Policeman Lutz was at onco dotailed ou tho caso and learned that tho abductor waa tho child's fathor, James Wilson, who had boon separated from hia wife for some timo. Mrs.

Wilson was nearly crazed with grief ovor the loss of her child. Ton yeara ago the couple wero married. Two pretty childron, both girls, blessed thoir union, Mamie, 9 yeara old, and Marda, aged 0. Thoir lot waa a happy ono until a few mouths ago, whon tho husband bogan to absent himself from homo two or threo nights out of tho wook, and, it la aliogod, pasaod his tlmo in tho company of othor women. Whon Mrs.

Wilson loaruod thia sho tried to press upon tho mind of her husband that ho was not keeping to hla marriage vows. In spite of this Wilson still contiuuod to conduct hlmsolf aa forraorly and in consoquohco his wlfo loft him, going to livo at 377 Ewou street Wheu Wilson found ho had boon abaudoued ho wont to livo with hia mother at 44 Manhattan avenue. Yostorday Mr. Wilson appeared in front of tho houso whoro hia wlfo Is livlug. Tho child, Marda, was playing near the window lu tho basement.

She saw her father and playfully wout out on tho stroot to soo him. Aa she throw hor arms about hia nock and kissed him affectionately, ho hastily graspod hor about tho waist "and started down tho stroot, Tho cries of the child attracted tho attention of the mother, who ruahed out, but all traces of thom woro lost.

TI1E FALLON TEAM DEFEATED. A game of base ball between tho MiclwooJs, of Flatbush, and a niuo aoloctod by tho pugilist, Jack Fallon, of tho samo placo, was playod yeatorday in tho roar of tho county bulldlnga at Flatbush. A large crowd waa prosont and a vory exciting game waa witnessed, Tho battory for tho MIdwoods consisted of Goorgo Knight and Charlos Brown. That of tho Fallons consisted of Josoph Magulro and N. Ruhey.

Thore kpnBldorable betting on tho game. The Fallon toam was defoatod by ijote ot The Iter. Dr. Dehreuds in tlio Central Congregational Cuarcb. The Kev.

Dr. Bohrends resumed his minis. trations In the Central Congregational Church yes terday and was greeted by a large congregation. He preachod from the text: "Boloved, while I waa giving all dlligonco to write unto you of our common salvatio I was conatrainea to write unto you exnorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was onco for all delivered unto the saints." Jude 111. This sentence has a martial sound, fit Introduction, It may seem, to an oplatle that bristles with violent denunciation.

It ia a short letter, of only twonty ono aontenco3, but it has tho concentrated onergy of a tornado, and It would be easy so to intone ita utterances aa to have the impression that Christianity invites and urgos to conflict for ita own enko. But such an Influonco would bo a gravo mistake. These are sayings of our Lord which are capable of tho same Interpretation as whon He deolared that He had como to send a sword and kindle a fire, and that he who would bo His disciple must hate father and mother. A closer reading counocta the hasty conclusion. Christ Is tho Prince of Peaco and tho message or tho gospel Is one of peace; but it is the peace of righteousness, to whose reign wickodnesa and wickod mon aro bitterly hostile.

That precipitates conlllst and, tho war once begun, muat he waged until right haa carried the day. And then peace comes once moro. Tho sword is only tho herald of tho olive branch, the hatreds of Christianity are only tho shadows of a deep and holy love. Nor is it otheriviso with Judo, who might be aup posod to havo been a man of fierce and uncontrollable tempor. Tho first sontonco shows the man's hoart and gives the keynote to his impassioned philippic "Alercy unto you, and poaco and lovo bo multiplied." Noto, also, what follows and that Jude drew the sword, not from choice, but from necessity.

He had long and earnestly contemplated writing a treatise on the "Common Salvation" in a peacoful strain on matters in which all Christiana were agreed; but hla modl tatlons wero rudely Interrupted and ho found hlmsolf forced to write at once, and iu a very different tone. Corrupt and corrupting teachers had secured an audience, who turned the graco of God into lasoivlousness. who confounded Christian liberty and llcenao, and who taught mon that thoy could bo pious without being holy. That danger rousod tho Hon in Judo'a heart, and his pen flow over tho pago aa if dipped lu Are aud winged with lightning. Even thon, it is not somo controvortod point of doc trino that urgos him, it is the faith once for all delivered unto tho saint, tho original, common, and Dormanont horitaeo of truo boliovora.

to whose oar nost defense ho summons. Nor dooa ho regard suoh a conflict as uncertain In its issuo. It minis ters to oxceoding Joy. Tho fuith holds its ground against all lta advorsarloa. Thla is the temper in which we muat moot tho burning questions of our own time.

Peace and love must bo In our hoarts, oven whon our lips broatho fire. And beside, there are thlnga that are beyond all reasonable dispute, fixed points for Christian eonviction, from which nothing Bhouid luro us, and in whoso unitou testimony ilea the hope, nay tno pieuge, oi the Gospel's ultimate and eternal sovereignty. I propose, vory briefly, to review some of these primary and permanent Christian truths, speaking only to the first at prosont and loaving tho rost until next Sabbath morning. At tho head of thoao convictions muat bo placed tho Christian doctrine of God. It ia conceded by all that nature, man included, must have somo Invisible background and support that thore ia a groat first cause.

A logical atheism la an impossibility. But Christian testi mony concorns iteelf mainly lu declaring wnat God Is. It is a rovolation of tho God whose exlstenco Is assumed. Againat the materialist wo affirm ma spirituality; against tno uoist, His living relation to nature and man; againat the pantheist, 1IU eternal Independence of, aud supremacy over, tho created universe, and against tho agnostic, the reality of our kuowl odgo of Him. Wo preach tho living God, of whom Jesus Christ ia the manifested glory.

This is the foremost article of Christian conviction, fundamental aliko to doctrino and conduct Thoro is no such incontivo to holiness aa tho open and unbroken vision of God, and thore aro many painful prob loma whoso only solution is their foarloss surrender to the God whose face fronts ua in Chriat. Now, the caro of the biblical doctrine of God ia not hla per Bonal existonee, nor the metaphysical unity of Hia boing, nor the aupreraacy of His govornmont, but tho reality and living unity of His ethical nature, tho eternal confluence, In His personal life, of infinite power, wisdom, holl nosa and love. Ono of tho oarllost problems for Christian thought was, and atill is, the maiu tenanco of tho metaphysical unity of God without destroying the reality of thoso distinctions whldi tho doctrine of tho Trinity aims to guard. But the deopor, and for practical purposes, the more important, problem Is tho maintenance of tho ethical unity of God, that in Him, iu His 'couusol and govornmont, powor, wisdom, holiness and lovo are cootornal and conaubatnutial. Havo wo not all hoard the fatherhood of God so deflnod as to re duco His moral authority to a shadow; and Hla moral government bo emphasized as to limit His fatherhood to a select circle of souls? Have we not heard it said that justice is necessary, and that morcy is optional; that moral law Is unlvorsal, but that graco is restricted 7 Such is not tho vision of God which the Bible glvos us, and It ia oppose I to any viow of God which seeks to maintain and guard tho othlcal unity of Ilia being.

Hollnoss and lovo, law and graco overlap and lntorpcnotrate each othor. Tho God of tho Blblo Is ouo, not only metaphysically, but morally; one, not only in porson, but in conduct and government, otornally tho same, universally the samo. Ho lays tho samo luw upon ovory conscience, Ho brings homo tho samo graco to overy guilty soul, Uo imposos the same moral conditions upon all who would obtain His approval. Ia Ho the God of tho Jow only 1 Nay, verily, but al30 tho Go! of the Gontuo; having concluded all under uubeuot, that He might havo mercy upon all. I may not Bpoak for others, but to me this conviction is tho alpha and tho omega of my theodicy.

I do not understand tho world I livo in. Its moral lifo porploxes mo tho morel study It. It soems terribly out of Joint, and I nm confrontod by a torriblo Inequality of ostato and opportunity. But I bollovo with all my hoart in tho living God, who from love of tho world sent His only begotten Son not to condemn tho raco, but that tho world through Him might bo eaved, and I will suffer uo man to say that thero is a single soul upon which that love doos not fall. Into overy man's moral life, into ovory man's otor nal destiny, that redeeming graco onters.

How, I cannot toil you; but of the fact Inmsuro, bocauso 1 have learned tho high and hopoful lesson from the lips of tho world's only Master. That conviction miuistors to pationce and hopo. Tho personal ills of lifo can bo bravely boruo so long as we aro suro that nothing can soparato us from God's lovo. Tho millions of our followmon iu past years and in tho prosont timo, at homo nud abroad, who seem to havo boon doomed from tho hour of thoir birth, aud upon whoso souls tho vision of a loving God nover seems to havo dawnod this sido of doath may be left In the bauds of Him who has no pleasure lu any man's ruin aud who doos not break tho brulsod reed nor quonch tho smoking flax. This may Boom liko an abandonment of tho painful problem, but I havo novor mot with any spoculatfvo solution that in any way compares with thia simple but sublimo faith in tho God of tho Biblo, whoso power is unlimited, whose wisdom Is Infinite ami unimpoach ablo, whoso rlghtoousnoss is impartial and lufloxl blo and whoso lovo is universal aud boundless.

For tho rest we can afford to wait. God is Uia own interpreter and Ho will mako it plain. NOBLE STREET BAPTIST CHL'RCU. Tlic Itcv. A.

s. Gtiinbart Preacbeg After an Absence of Six Months. Tho pulpit of tho Noblo street Baptist Church was boautlfully adoruod with flowers yostorday, and largo congregations greetod tho pastor, Rev. A. S.

Gumbart During tho early part of last Fall tho rovorend gontioman waa smitten with peritonitis, and, roturning to his labors too soon, a relapse was tho result. The membors of tho church kindly inslstod that their pastor must lako a vacation, and yesterday morning's sermon was tho flrat after a vacation of six months. Tho text was from John xx. :17: My Father and your Father." Among other things tho pastor said Tho fatherhood of God is ono of the moat tender and promlnont thoughts In tho Gospol of Christ. Iu fact, wo may almost aay it ia the ono groat lesson which tho Saviour taught.

No man can possibly get out of tho religion of Josus that which God has put Into It for his comfort and strength who has not grasped this thought of tho Fatherhood of God. Not simply that God is a father in a motaphorical or pootlc senso, but a real Father, loving aud caring for His children in evory uocossity. And not only am I to know that God is such a Fathor, but that He la such a Fathor nud my Father. It ia tho ono truth plus tho othor which gives ua tho aum of tho 8avlour'a toachluga. It was through a kuowlodgo of Josus that wo woro to como to a kuowledgo of what? or of whom? Of God.

you answer. No; listen If yo had known Mo yo should have know my father also." "Ho that hath aoon me hath soon tho father." At that day ye shall know that I am In the fathor and tho fathor iu mq," Read the Gospol of John with this thought in mind and see how much Jesus mndo of this thought of God's fatherhood at tho closo of His mluistry, aa if Ho had boon leading Ilia disciples on from ono los son to anothor until at last Ho emphasizes tho sub llmost lesson of all, that God Is our Fathor. My fathor and your fathor." In thoao wonderful conversations with llis disciples recorded in John, xvL, tho Lord Christ himself uses tho torm Fathor forty two timos aud tho torm God only four times. Again wo aro to learn a lossou from tho thought of Christ, that tho Father waa greator than Ilo. How great Jesus appeared to theso disciples of old.

True, thoy did not uudorstaud elthor Ills lifo or Ilia mission aright Truo also that thero were elements of greatness in our Lord's charactor to which thoy wero absolutely blind, but for all that, to tho disciples Jesus appoarod as tho greatest porsonago of ago if not of any ago. His philosophy confounded tho wisdom of philosophers aud His religion confounded the religion of tho ecrlbea and pharisees, and His powor was auch that tho sick aud tho crippled of every kind woro cured. Even tho dead woro raised to life again, and tho sea and the wIihIb hoard his voice and oboyod. Ho had spoken of a kingdom and whilo thoy did not understand Him aright yot they believed Him and looked for tho ostabllshniont of a klug dom over which Christ should rulo and which should overcome all othor kingdoms. How great, thon, must Jeaus has appoarod to thom.

And yot. Josus said, "tho Father la greator thaul." Josua spako hore not of ilia nature, but of Alls condition. Inasmuch as Uo was dlvluo Ho was equal with the Fathor. Inasmuch as He was human and subject to human laws aud eurroundlngs, tho Fathor waB greater than Ho. Thla waa Christ's consolation and strength.

It should bo ours. How many tlmoa lu this world of care, adversity aud Blcknoss we are made painfully conscious of our woaknoas. With what shield shall wo ward off tho ouruBhlng dangor? With what weapons shall wo fight tho difficulties which threaten us? Thoso aro quoations which mon could not answer if Christianity did not nnswor for us. Mnuy a man who is bravely lighting with hla back to tho wall would soe only doath and dofeat iu the end if It wero not that Chrlatlauity haa taught him to say: "Ot mysolf 1 atu nothing, but 'the Father is greater fhuu Am 1 poor? My Fathor hath unbounded wealth. Am I Ignorant? My Father hath all wisdom.

Am I wouk My Fathor halh Infinite powor. 'The Father is greator than My Father and your Father." I havo looked out upon tho waters of tho sea. I thought of their Immensity. Waters over which no vessel haB over sailed. Dopths which no sounding line haa yot fathomed.

I thought of tho thousands of vesaols of all nations afloat upon Its billows. Some lu calm, somo in atorm and othors wrecked, aud I havo said: aoo, thou aro vory groat" And thon I remomborod that thoro Is Ouo who holdoth tho waters lu the palm of Uia hand God, Creator, King, Judgo, Fathor, "my Fathor and your Father" and tho sea no longer seemed great, but the Fathor soomod great, wondorously groat Aud whon I remembered that His groatnoss Is not only tho greatnoss of powor but tho groatnoss of lovo, I folt tho dignity and the sweetness of my adoption and tho proclous noss of thoso words "Tho Fathor Is greator than "My Fathor and your Fathor." child of God, groat may bo thy trlale and sorrows, but greator Is the Father's power and lovo. What mattors It If thoro aro storms and threatouings7 Thou art still In tho Fathor's hand that hand which mould od tho mountains and gavo unto tho soa ita bounds; that hand which faahlouod tho unlvorse and flung It Into spneo; flung It, not at random as a child would fling a pebble into the soa, but with such precision, wisdom and powor that out of millions of stars aud planots not one haa not found Its placo to tho merest fraction of absoluto oxaotnesa. That hand, child of the Father, Is thy protection, thy comfort, thy guide. It ia Father's hand, a hand of power and of lovo, tho hand of my Fathor and your Fathor.

Retribution comes to somo meu unsought. A caso Li point turns up In Queens County. It is In a political way most extraordinary as showing the influences that dominate couventiona, the interest that mon have in controlling or influencing tho public prosecution and their hatred of a diatrlct attorney who recognizes his duty to the people and criminal law Impartially.

A good many of tho men who wore instrumental in nominating Thomas F. McQowan for District Attorney a year ago are now under indictment for ono offense or another. Foremost among thom is Anthony MUler, whoso boodle overcame many obstacles. He has beon indicted for aiding a defaulter to escape from Justice. William Ropper, ono of tho hopes of Newtown, also did much to forco Mr.

McGowan'a nomination. Rocontly Mr. Heppor, as roeeivor of taxos, was short In his accounts and now he finds hims elf indicted Jfor falling to turn over tho public monoy iu the manner directed by tho law. John H. Gorrity, anothor Nowtowu light, having embez zled $700 of the town's monoy in his capacity as col lector burial fees, ia a fugitive from Justice.

There is an indictment against him. Michael Kearney, of Bllasvllle, was a brilliant light in the McGowan phalanx. He kept a cock pit Later a pool room was opened In his saloon and he, too, finds himself undor Indictmont for a felony. Simon Flahorty, who3e dog pit at Woodsidp ia well known to tho admirers of that brutal sport, rivaled tho most onthasiastlc iu his support of Mr. McGowan.

Simon, who votes under a pardon granted by Governor Tilden, Is not himself undor indictment, but two of his sons are for attempting to tako the lifo of a neighbor. To this list of indicted McGowanltes may bo addod tho throe Excise Commissioners of Flushing. And Mr. McGowan, who was nominated and elected, is under indictmont for stealing 520,000 and is a fugitive in a foreign laud. John Fleming, who was defeated by tho gang, is in ofilco to prosecuto thom.

For some time past the residents of the Village of Flatbush havo beon troubled with a gang of boys and men who, after working tho growlor," disturb for tho rest of each night tho villagers by breaking windows, smashing lamps and lighting botwoeu thoniaolves.

Early Sunday morning four or flvo of theso mon, who for tho past two or threo mouths have been making things rather livoly, wore pasaing the residouco of Patrick Placo on Rogers avenuo, near Erasmus street. Thoy threw a largo cobblo stone through tho wiudow. Tho stone fortunatoly did not hit any ono, but Mr. Placo'a child had a very narrow eacapo. The pooplo who aro so much troubled are, it Is said, about getting a petition up to present to the Police Commlssionora aaking thom to placo an offlcor In tho vlllago, which ia thickly populated.

Said ouo indignant proporty owner: "Wo ought to havo somo protection. You cau go to the Town Hall or at tho toll gate and find plenty of policemen. In tho former place thero aro always two or throe policomon, and as to tho latter place I cannot soo why tho town should bo compelled to almost continually havo from ono to two policomon ou guard thoro whou tho toll gate Is a private corporation."

October visitors to Manhattan Beach are surprised to ace tho beauties displayed there. The gardens of planta and flowers, whoso kaleidoscopic variety pleased tho multitude during the Summer, havo reached tho fullness of their beauty Just now aud aro worth a visit.

Thoro aro ovor 10,000 bright hued foliage plants displayed about tho grounds in front of and between the Manhattan Bench and Oriental hotels, and tho variety and charactor of tho different boda was novor moro beautiful. The first notable collection la to bo found in a bed separating the greensward from tho sandy beach at tho west of the Manhattan Beach HotoL It ia 560 feet long and composed of bright hued coleaa and goldon feathor. Next the music amphitheater is a harp of heroic size, composod of echeverrias and red and yollow alternanthoras; noxt it In beautiful contraat is a bed of pure whtto geranium', ageratuma and sweet alyscum. Another bed near tho bath houses is diamond shaped, tho rays being of achyrantua and alteruantheras, with a yucca for a center. A shield of yuccas, cacti, aloes, alternanthoras and echoverrias is much admired, and a maltose cross of yuccas, alternanthoras, echoverrias shows beautiful contrasts of delicate green, bright yellow and deep red.

A crescont of golden coleaa, with a friugo of scarlet alternautheras is very striking in appoarance. A massive anchor at the weat of tho Oriental is composod mainly of dusty millers, with bright scarlet geraniums placed at intervals. A horseshoe of majestic proportions adorns tho ground in front of tho Oriental ami probably brought it tho luck it had during tho soasou. It is mainly of goldon alternautheras, echoverrias and cacti, tbo latter representing tho nail holes. Theso aro tho principal among twenty two most beautifully arranged flowers.

Tho gardener doos not intend taking up tho flowers until tho frost arrives. It is a surpriso to all visitors wheu thoy realize that the rich volvety sward and tho tropical growth of flowers depend upon but a foot of soil for thoir sustenance. This Winter It Is proposed building a greenhouse so that tho plants may be sufficiently advanced iu growth to reach their fullest beauty bofore tho season closes. OBITUARY. Daniel O'Coiinel).

Only a low years before that it had greeted home Pompoy, tlio goneral, with a column at vast expense built, a column colebrativo of tho fact that ho had klllod or conquorod 13,000,000 peoplo; ond thou ho waB allowed in triumphal robe to alt in the Senate. Huzza! for the world's butchers; but only buffeting or tho world'a ChriaU Poor! Ho did not own tho ship on which lie Bailed, or tho beast on which Ho rodo or tho pillow on which Ho slept. Poor! Born in anothor man's barn, eating at anothor man's table, cruising Lake Gonoasaret in anothor man's boat, buried in anothor man's mausoloum.

Four Inspired writers give Ills biography and innumerable livos of Christ have been written, but Christ makes His autobiography whon He compressos the whole story in about one sentence and says: I havo troddon tho winepress alone." Cleopatra gave a banquet for Antony, aud history says that at that banquot she had a pearl worth $100,000 dissolved in vinegar, thon Bhe drank it. But hoar, oh oarth and hoaven, that in that hour, that last hour of which tho evangelist spoaks when ho says of Christ: "He took tho vlnogar, Into that cup all tho jewels of his heavenly domain were dissolvod and Ho drank the cup. Ho took the vinegar." The fact is, my friends, thore aro only two placoa whore one can roach tho grandour of this subject and understand it. The ono is the holy laud of Asia Miuor and tho other is tho holy laud of hoavon. Oh, I should like somo day to drink out of Jacob's woll and sail on Goneasarot, and visit tho wildernosa whero Christ was tomptod, and road tho boatitudo on Mount Ollvot, and about o'clock In tho afternoon be on Cnlvary, the hour and place where the crucifixion ended, or sit down some whoro undor the sycamores, or on the banks of tho brooks, and thitik and pray and dronm and talk about tho poverty of Jesus and tho price Ho pnid for our redemption.

But I do not think I will ever see that laud. Tho majority of us will novor see that laud. But thoro Is a noiy Laud whoro we will study this subject. Como now, lot us mako a bargain that wo will moot oaoh othor at tlio door of tho Father's mansion, or ou the bunk of tho river Just na it rolls from under tho throne, or at tho outside gate. As Christ got tho contrust botwoon theso two worlds by coming from heavoa to earth, we will got tho contrast by going from oarth to heaven.

Oh, what a place that will bo to study the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ Graco, froo grace, sovereign graco, omnipotent grace. Amid tho thousands of words in tlio language thoro Is no moro queenly word. It means free and unmorltod kindness. My toxt haa no monopoly of tho word, One hundred and twonty nino times doos tho Bible oulogizo that word graco. But wo cannot undorstaud it.

Ilo will got a botior glimpse of It, understand moro of it when hoaven rolls in on tho soul. An old Scotchman who had boon lu tho European wars was dying lu ono of our American hospitals, aud all tho old Scotchman wanted was to get back to Scotland and to seo his old homo and hoar tho bngplpos of tho regiments as thoy camo and walk tho heather of the highlands. Woll, tho night tho old Scotch soldior waa dying a young man, a littlo rocklosa but vory kind heartod, got a band of music to come and play undor the old man's window, ami among tho instruments thore was a bagpipe. When tho bund bogan to play, the dying Scotchman iu dolirium, said, "What's that? Ah! that's tho tune, that's tho tunc Thank God, I am home again, homo again. Dear old Scotland, Bonulo Scotland, Bonnie Doon." Thoy woro tho last words on tho old man's Hps ore he wont up to tho highlands of tho hotter country.

Somo ot you aro homo sick for tlio fatherland. Some of you aro liomoslck for heaven.

You want that music sounding whon you die, and when you roach the blessed country thon and thoro you want to sing freo grace, the grace of our Lord Josus Christ, who, though He was rich, yet for your sakes Ho became poor." Mark that, "F'or your sakes." Not coming ou a pleasure excursion. Ho know il would bo all pain. Not coming on astronomical oxplorattou. Ho know this world boforo Ho alighted ou It, as wo'l as afterward. Not coming for an iay tlmo.

Ho know it would bo thorn aud eplko and hunger aud thirst and tho vociferation of angry mobs. "For your sakes." To wipe away your toars, to forglvo your wrong doings, to sit beside you at tho new made grave, to companionship your louoliuoss, and at last to tako you home, and when tho mists fail on your dying vision to illuiiilno It wilh tho sunahiuo of an oternal morn. "For your sakea! For your sakes!" But I will chango that. Paul will not euro If I change it. Christ will not care if I chnnge it.

I mu3t change It, for I want to got into tho vastuoss of tho toxt mysolf. our aakos! For our sakos! For wo all havo our temptations and our conflicts aud wo all havo our boroavomouts, and wo dosorvo so littlo that wo dosorvo to bo oxpatrlatod from this world to a world u3 much worso than thia aa this world la worao than heaven. "F'or our sakos!" Oh, what a frightful coming down for what a glorious lifting up. Ariaxorxes waa out hunting ono day and his attendant was with him, and tho attendant pointed tho king to a rent iu his garraonts. Oh," says tho king, how shall 1 got that mended?" Tho attendant says, "Glvolttomo; that's the way to mend it." And the king took off his robe and gavo it to tho attendant, with instructions not to wear it, as it would be luappropriato.

But hear It. mon aud devils and angels; hoar it, hoaven, oarth aud holl, that our King puts off His royal robo and commands us to wear it, and by His graco it will become us well, and instead of the rags of our poverty we shall wrap oursolvea iu the regal robes of an eternal ro galomont. Oh, the glorious personality of religion. "For our aakos." It is not an arch undor which wo walk to look a. Bome splendid masonry; it Is not an ice castle liko Emprosa Elizaboth, of Ifuaala, built 100 years ago, tho Winter with its trowol of crystal comeutiug tho blocks which had beon quar rlod from the frozen river of tho North; it ia not an ice castle, but it is the Father's house, with a broad hoarth, all acrackle with wolcomo.

It is a practical religion. It is a graco that wo can take in all our buslnoaa, in all our Borrows, in all our auuoyancos, in nil our troublos, in all our recreations. It is not like that great galley built by Ptolomy, so unmanageable it took 4,000 mon to row it, and of such draught of wator that it could not bo takon near the beach; but it is something you cau take up the narrowost stream of oarthly annoyance and the shallowest Good for little troubles.

preachod tho funeral sormon, said, among other things: Waltor E. Nason was born in Boaton, March 19, 1540. Ho rocoived his oducatlon at tho Moyhow School, tho Shepherd Grammar School and the English High School, his attendance at tho two latter boing determined by tho fact of his fathor'a removal to Cambrldgo to ongage In tho drug businoss, and whero he was subsequently appointed to tho postmaster ship of tho plaoo. Our frioud was his father's assistant in tho drug store at tho oat break of tho war. By education and parental influonco from his earlieat childhood, he was a Democrat and yet In all tho controversy that proceeded tho war hla enthusiasm was strong on the sldo of tho Union, aud at tho outbreak of hostility, ho waa vory dosirous of outoring army to prove his patriotism aud his loyallty to tho flag.

Where thore ia a will thoro la a way, and although ho was too young to enter tho army, yet whon tho call waa made for 100,000 troops for ntno mouths.of which tho Massachusetts quota waa 10,000. ho mado known his determination to go and rocoived tho consout of hla parents to Join tho Forty fourth Massachusetts ltoglmottt as a drummer boy, for ho was only a boy and but i6 years of ago. With all the patriotism of a man of 30 he accompanied this regiment lu evory engagement of tho Burnaldo expedition to North Carolina dnd lu ono action Inslstod upon taking a rlho from a woundod soldier and leaving his duty of caring for the wounded he steppod Into tho light and romalnod to the end. For hia bravery ho received public raoutlon by Colonel Leo, shaded, of courBO, with a slight cousuro for his leaving the musicians' doiall for tho caro of the woundod. Soon after his roturn from tho war ho was prostratod with an Illness which well nigh proved fatal.

By the beat skill, howovor, which could bo procured at the time ho was slowly brought to tho linos of boalth again. Following this recovery ho determined to enlist in military service again and was soon prevailed upon to enter tho United 8tatos Navy, whero he was appointod to tho position of surgeon's stoward aud was detailed to tho United States ahlp Guard. His experience In his father's drug store wondorrully fitted him for this service. Thoahip Guard was ordered to tho Mediterranean, and on her oruleo of two yenra In this foreign sorvice our young friend had a ahanco for the use of all hla knowledge of medicine, In tho use of which ho provod hlmsolf so valuablo aa to win a well earuod popularity aud secure for hlmsolf tho title, "Little Doc." Aftor his return home at the closo of the war, in tho Fall of 1865, he mado up his mind to stay ashoro and very aoon engaged ns assistant bookkeeper to his brother, in tho houso of Dunbar whoro ho remained for somo yoars. Doslrlng a change of business ho ongagod with Potter In Boston, until tho great Oro swopt thom out of existonee.

In 1872 ho waa married to Miss Marlon E. Dorslng, of Oraugo, a town which thon and uow was the residence of a largo number of hla rolatlvos, both on his fathor's and on hia mother's sldo. Ho came to Now York in 1874 and very soon entered Into important service with tho firm with which he, with the excoptlon of ono yoar spent In Orango, has romalued ever since. Wo can easily see by this rocord that he was a born patriot and a nouto one. xiib waa noi.

Yesterday's session of tho Central Labor Union was Tory largely attended. Various matters contributed to make tho mooting a thorougly Interesting aud animated one, tho most conspicuous being the report of tho committeo appointed to Investigate the records for the purpose of ascertaining whether tho published reports of Mr.

J. J. Clancy's expulsion from tho Central Labor Union were correct or not, and the presentation of resolutions condemning tho Illinois Judiciary tor not granting tho condemned Chicago Anarchists a new trial. Tho mooting was called to order at 3 o'clock. A moznbor of Waitors' Union No.

Yours In Labor, FUKNITtfRE WORKEll'S UNION' NO. 8.

Whereas, Tho law can bo respected only whon justice is dono. Whereas, To prevent our courts and corrupt tbo Judgos by public clamor at the bidding of privilege or troui dishouost or clan motived Is to destroy tho respect due to a wiso Judiciary and tho regard felt for laws honorably exocuted, Whereas, No civic crime can bo greater and moro disastrous to public order than that one which strikes at tho Judiciary and by Influencing tho brings both into common contempt and loave the peoplo and their liberty at the mercy of apprehension and at the will of those who monopolize public powor in order to plunder, and Whereas, Tho Supremo Court of tlio Stato of Illinois, bv Its extraordinary approval of tho infamous soutoi.co inflicted by Judge Garry incompliance with tho verdict givon by a Jury notoriously corrupt and packed in tho Intorost of and by demand of a base class outcry and prejmlico, has brought into disrepute and peril the Judicial system not only of tho State ot Illinois, but of tho ontiro Union, and Whereas, No such verdict should ovor havo boon ronderod in face of the indisputable fact that no complicity with tho bomb ttirowing or any othor act disastrous to the police of Chicago in their unlawful attack upon logal public meeting, mado for the purpose of invading tho Inalienable and constitutional right free speech, has ovor been proven against any ono of tlio sovon mon now in priBon at Chicago, whoso sentence of death has just been confirmed by tho Supromo Court of tho Stato; therefore, bo it Jie iulved, That tho net of confirmation, In tho opinion of this body, in common wilh that of organized labor overywhero in tho land, is an act of tho grossest and most wickod injustlco possible only, tho Judgos inspired by class prejudices and acting In accord therewith; That, in tlio nuno of tho Central Labor Union, whoso representatives wo aro, and In behali of Iho wngo workers and laboring people of this city, whoso opinions and sympathies wo know and understaud, wo declare that the execution of those men who aro ho unjustly condemned lo death will bo a crime so torriblo that its consequences may filly be of tlio most disastrous character, destroying, as it surely will, all respect for law and bringing lis officers into meritod contempt; That to destroy the livos, undor cover of law, of those who havo made monopoly unoasy by reas of bold speoeh, is to establish clearly that criminals are in power. AVsoiti, Thai in the namo of organized labor, as well as in honor of American cllizonship, wo demand that tho iniquity of condemning men of crime, unprovon and unconnected wilh the Hayinarkot trngcdv, bv an infamous process of construe' ion, worthy, only by tho days of Judge Teffi ies, shall not bo consummated. n'i ii, H'hat wo call all Americans who still respect freedom and honor the outraged law to rlso their might and with us demand that tho soven men now condemned to death shall at least recoivo a new and less partial trial and thoir lives shall not lie sacrificed to the demands of vulgar greed and tlio cowardly fears of wealth unjustly obtained, and bo it further That wo urgo upon organized labor everywhere, whose martyrs theso coiidemnod mon will bo if their Judicial murder shull be consummated, to Join Willi us in this our soloinn protest against a crirco which threatens liberty and would make a free Stato a slaughterer of those who havo only defouded tho poor and ulterod a protest against the apprehensions of the rich. A member of tho Faustus Club moved to rocoivo tho communication and a delegato from tho Hat Finishers followed with another motion to lay tho whole matter tipoti the table.

This latter motion caused an excltod member to turn in ills sent and ask, "Who made that motion and looking in tho direction of whoro tlio Hat Finishers' delegato was silting, ho said, "Was it you Tlio bat finisher answered that it was, and he asked the member, "Why do you want to know?" "Oh!" mildly exclaimed tho member, who ro Btimod his seat, apparently very much surprised that such summary action should bo taken with tho communication. A member of Led go No. Unltod Order of Carpenters and Joinors, obtained tho floor aud mado a motion to sond the communication back to the Furniture Workers' Union. His motion was seconded, but before it was stated by tbo Chair, ho said the members were alroady nwaro of tho result of a similar attompt that was made in tho Now York Coutrnl Lubor Union last Sunday and it was a dau gorous question to introduco in iho local body. Ho was astonished at tho charges' containod in tho resolutions and ho did not believe thoy wero proven, 'it has beon said," ho continued, "that those mon havo not had a fair trial becauso thoy are Anarchists.

It is also charged that tho Judiciary of tho country is corrupt, and thai owing to public claims tlio men havo been condemned to death. This Is a bold and unwarranted assertion." Tho speakor arguod that the unfortunate men had rocoived an Impartial trial. He was in Chicago recently and had made inquiries relativo lo Ihe position which tbo cun demuod mon and their associativos held toward the other labor organizations of tho city. Ho had learned that they had boon arming and drilling men connected with such associations. Jlen who would do that and expect to obtain by violence what could bu obtained by agitation deserved no sympathy.

It was defiance of tho laws of the country, and such men woro not wautod hero. Tho men who bolougod to trades unions In Chicago did not recoguizo those men as fellow workingmeu, and the speaker had no sympathy with professional workingmen who nover earned money by toil. These mon and their organizations had sot tho law aside, and any expression of sympathy with them or of denunciation of tho law would bo a atop in the wrong direction. De was confident they would havo a fair hearing by appealing to tho law and not to Bentlmont. Applause and hisses.

A member of tho Fauatus Club made a fervid appeal in behali ol tlio condemned men and in iavor of adopting tho resolutions. Ho said It was essentially within the provluco of the Central Labor Union to agree in granting tho roquost of tho furniture workers. If the union, ho continued, is composed of a sot of heartless mon tho sooner it Is disrupted tho better. Every man in the organization, he bollovod, was a worklngman, and if they did not express a sontimont of sympathy with mon who had a ropo around thoir necks for resisting tho oppression of an armed forco, what could bo expected from those who might bewailing the opportunity to turn tho law so that it would oppress all. Applause.

A delegate from Typographical Union No. 93 regretted tho introduction of such business into the union. "It moans," ho Baid, "a retrogressive movement, and any action to bo takon in tho matter should bo by tho organizations thomsolvos aud not Dy tho Contral Labor Union." In auswer to a question as to tho nature of the resolutions, and (ho chairman's explanation not proving satisfactory the dologato from Lodge No. 7, Unltod Order of Carpenters said that tho violations not only condemned the docision of tho courts of Illinois, but also of tho United Stntos. That was not right to charge that in the highost courts of tho nation Justico could not bo obtained, or that tho Judges aro corrupt and vicious.

A member of Painters' Union No. 8, mado a vigorous speech in support of tho resolutions and in opposition to sending them back. The Hat Flnishers'dologato said that tho condemned men and thoir organizations nevor did roprosont American workingmen. Thoy would nover bo allowed to carry on their Bcuomos If thoy bolonged to bona lido trades unions. H'ssos.

"Y'ou may hiss, workmen," ho continued, "but it can't bo donlod that the conduct ot those mon has set tho labor interests back at loast twonty Tlio spoakor read an extract calling upon nil workingmou to condemn tho action of the Illinois officials, which ho considered a reproach to his country und to organized labor. A voto was then takon pon tho motion to sond the communication and resolutions back which rosultod In tho motion prevailing, at least two thirds of tho membors prosont voting in the affirmative: lu accordance wilh a motion adopted at the last meeting, tho committeo that was appointod to investigate the rocordB and aseorlalu whether tho published reports of Mr. J.

Clancy was roquostod to retire, as the constitution of tho Contral Labor Union provides as follows: "A porson to be eligible to bo a delegato must bo a wago worker, and working at his trade and calling." As tho said John J. Clancy was an omployor, he therefore was not eiiglblo to bo a member of the Contral Labor Union.

Ho also statod that an effort will shortly bo mado to do away with Snturday night work, and a conferenco, with that object in view, will shortly bo hold botwoon tho bosses and the union to arrange how it can be done.

Dr. Parker Preaches at Each Service. His Manner Disappointing at First, but llis Uearers Soon Get Used to it A Moralist and Sot a Theologian The Matter of the Sermons Thoronghly Appreciated. Plymouth Clmrcli and its immediate) vicinity looked like old times at 10 yesterday morning. A crowd was at the door threo times too many for the church to hold.

Iusldo iho church all Mr. Boecher's old congregation was assembled, with plenty of people from Tnlmagu's and tho other neighboring churches, a very tluo and highly intelligent gathering, such a gallic ring as even tho greatest of preachers might loci fear in addressing, because of thoir powers of analysis and criticism. Such was tho congregation assembled to hoar tho Fv. Joseph Parker, of London, preach from tho liov. Henry Ward ISoehoVa pulpit.

Among tho listeners wore Mrs. ISeecher and several iin bers of her family. With Mrs. Beeeher sat Parker, a tall, haudsomo lady ot yoars, WI1030 Intelligent face gives evidence that tho reputation tor talent which sho enjoys is not an empty one. In the morning Dr.

Parker took for his text St. Luko, xxiv :0 "He is norticrr liut rison." Ho said: I am confident tli.it in view of the pathetic circumstances which give uniqueness to this occasion that I may rely upon the utmost indulgence of every Christian heart. Wo have not assembled under ordinary circumstances, lor nearly fori years this particular Sunday Die first In October has been signalized by the reappearance in this church of an honored and Illustrious pastor. To day ho is not here, but we any of him as of tho Lord, "Ho ia Yet If we should dare to speak of the mortality of tho life ot man, tho brevity of rari'ily existence, who would not instantly fasten upon the speaker the charge of fanaticism or ot commonplace. So feol that our friend is not here.

We know it by a Bonso of loneliness and coldiic. and desolation wo havo nover felt before. '1 here may he those who would pass over such an event swiftly. Some men havo a genius for the degradation of all tilings to the level of commonplace. We must not be led by them.

Wo must take the responsibility of forming our own opinions as to what is great and as to what is abject, what Is august and what is worthless, and it ought never to boa commonplace to man that his lifo passes liko a weaver's si. mile; that his days are but a handful at. tho moat; that his breath is in his nostrils, and death, so men understand it. is nearer to bim than what he calls his life. Lot us beware, of wastoful and riotous living.

How quioily do some men get through everything, 'i ho landscape furnishes but a walk so many miles in length. I hey would not cere to look upon it a second time. 1 hey bavoseonit Not they: they cannot soo It 'these fast oers seo nothing as it really Is. 1 licy havo been through the Sorest, but they have not seon a singlo leaf. They have heard no voices in tho swaying branches, no anthems in the sunny air.

Thoy wonder that any man can bo weak enougu to ropeat tho pilgrimage through such a scene. And what is truo of nature is true of art. There are boys not much moro than 12 years of ago who have galloped through the galleries of Europe. With a nod they havo sol a fool's estimate upon what has cost a great man thought, blood, anxiety to accomplish. These circumstances would not be worthy of mention did they not point to something deeper and deadlier thai themselves.

Thoy do not end in their own folly. Men who can get through landscapes and picture galleries can al ogot through miracles. Wo havo outlived tho signs and wonders of the Son of God. We have becomo so familiar with them that we begin to question them. We are the victims of cold blood.

We want to do in coldness what can only bo done in the imonsest lire and enthusiasm. Unless miracles como to us in showers and thus becomo' 110 miracles at all we will not bolleve. Tho time will como when commonplace will be tho miracle when ho will be tho supreme preacher, tho great reaching mind in tin Christian century, who keeps us on ore id and water. Christ never promised anything beyond. lie said Ho was' bread.

lie said: "I am the water of Ho who tl.v.03 himself in analogies of this kind can nover be moved. He unites himself with tho deepest and most solid necessity of the world. hen wo get through miracles wo get through inspiration quickly. We make theories ab ail it. We compare one kind of inspiration with another, as it there could be two kinds.

And thus we live riotous and wasteful lives, not in any sense of physical debauchery, to which wo have foolishly limited the word "prodigality," but we impoverish and enfeeble the soul by not "making enough of tlio common tilings; by not turning common broad into si.crifieial sh and common supper wino into sacramental blo. d. You will soon live through the universe; you will soon feel that eternity is le if thu3 you bound with a fool's haste from scene to scene in the Infinite panorama of the uuiver. o. lie not afraid to dwoll upon Iho commonplace, lie well grounded in the elements.

Thoro be scholars over certificated and burdened down with pipers who cannot spell their own language. Do right in tlio thoughts of life, in the realities of Providence. This announcement, not here, is not uttered in any sense that provokes or suggests melancholy. This is a note ot triumph. This is not only a declaration of alienee, il is a reason for that absence 01 a glorification of it.

He is not here. That is negative, chilling, disappointing, unless Iho sentence be continued and concluded in a note of triumph. Such note we find In the angels' voices. Negation, oven in its hugest denials. Is only a gigantic cipher an infinite emptiness.

Yet 601DO men make reputations by their genius in negations. They are tillowed oh, bo astonished, ye heavens'. 10 make money by uttering. Hie everlasting No." Probably ft kind of grim consolation goes with that siylo of teaching. is a consolation which will not last.

It does not fit tho measure of life. It is a short line, and leaves life's most urgent necessities and frequent pains unprovided for. Tho angel adds: "Hut lie ia risen." Ho In risen, and, therefore, is more here than ever here in fuller personality, in richer influence, in ten lores: svmpa'hy. That which was local, limited, physical, disproportionate, burdensome, is gone; but tho radiant salntliness, the royal spirituality, the now creation, is alivo fur evermore. Thus ascension is not only the last explanation of nb eonco il is the largest and truest allirmation of presence.

Our friends never get a real grip ot us till they get into heaven and reach down to us, and aro uided in their reaching by the, whole lever ago of their elevation. They truly live who aro out of our sight as to tlio body, but never out of our Bight as to tlio soul. Tho body disappears, but tho spirit tarries to bless our soul with companionship. 1 am along, yet not alone, for the Fallior la with We know somewhat of tho range of this truth by natural analysis, by daily experience and observation. Wo aro touched as by an Inerrable pathos by the dawn, Uow tender the light as it rises in tho whitening east.

We say, "Wc will bring our friends to seo this great" and lo when wo havo returned with them a voice seems to say. It is not here." It is risen and is far on toward tho noonday. How charming is the little child, all dimples, all smiles. How wondrous the influence of Its whole life. Wo will say of it: "This same ehall convert us," and lo! in a day or two, as it seems to our imagination, the child is not hero, but "risen" into tho boy, and tho boy will rise into the man and the man to a prince and angel.

That is the law of tho universe. If anything stands still huvo no faith in it. We often llud a mystery whoro there is none. We operate from misconceive 1 circles and our points of origin are not points of origiu at nlL Thero is Httlo difficulty with the word "risen" If we can got through tho dark word "here." To bo here is the painful burden. We did not want, wo did not ask to bo horo.

Wo often wonder what it meuns. The place Is so little, yet so suddedly assuming aspects of ghastliness so winsome, yet so frightful that wo wonder up to a point of amazement which might easily becomo religious. Then, again, what perils beset tho fact of incarnation and vlsibleiiess. It were bolter that we should not some of tho influences which havo most blessed or sustained our lives. Wo know bow perilous a thing it is to be admitted to familiar intercourse with men who havo swayed us by their thoughts or havo thrown upon our lives the spell of genius.

So long as they staid away, operating only Intellectually and sympathetically, wo gave them reverence and homage, and spoke of thorn lovingly and gratefully. Mayhap whon they come near they lessened tlietr Influonco upon ua by some conceited manner, eccentricity of habit or action, somo bodily infirmity. And how quick wo aro to magnify these little imperfections What a genius we have for mischief And somo may como to regret that thoy ever saw in tho flesh tlio man who from afar and from eonio Invisible tabernacle ruled and swayed us with a mighty and gracious domiuion. Tho flesh has always been a difficulty. Tho eye has always been Its own victim.

Who, for example, can Incarnate his thoughts In words? What aro words? Who made them? What thinker has ever been satisfied with his own words? When lie has written his thought, ho feels that ho baa not expressed It. He is struck Willi nothing 50 much as the ompliness of what ho has What is truo of our littlo words is pre eminently and necessarily more largoly truo of tlio word that was God, and was mado llosh and dwell among us. When we saw God in tho tlesh we killed Him on a tree. This wo are always doing. Wo aro tho victims of tho senses wo all but adoro.

Wo can only jeo tho least aspect of things, the narrowest, most limited view of God's creation. Yet we venture to put In stakes, and to say: "This is the tont of God, ami other tent there is none. lilessed aro they who sing hymns under our canvass, and as for those who sing their hymns elsewhere wo mako no prediction concerning them." When Jesus said, "Lo, I am wilh you oven to tho end of tho world," Ho did not indicate a morely arbitrary presence, a mountain shadow that was walking behind us and gaining step by stop. Ho meant moro than an externa! relation. He Is tho indwelling ChrlBt He is in us, part of us.

Wo aro identified with Him and Ho is idontlflod with us, and horeiu is His prayer answered that they may bo one as Ho Himself was One with tho 'athor. Wo can throw off that which i3 oxtorual, but who can commit suicido of tho soul cast out Christ, whon He has becomo Idoutitlod with every pulse of our nature, wilh every aspiration of our spirit. Who ran throw oil tho Influence of a really happy homo? The prodigal stroTO to do it, but could not. Mnko your homos happy for your childron. Thoir homes will assumo the proportion and tho sanctity of churches by and by, and if thoy cannot como homo to you in any bodily or physical sonso tfiey can still como home to you in tho largest and doopost sense of that torm.

Oh, poor wandering prodigal, go homo tills moment! They all wait for you. Immortality of existence would bo intolerable but for immortality of Influonco. Existence Is nothing but a burden under given conditions. You could kill somo mon by taking from them their occupations. Lcisuro would mow down tho men of Now York and London as with a scythe They can only livo in captivity.

Other mon can only ltvo in doing good. God has made provision for this groat nojd of our nature. Wo nover read of heaven as a place of moro contemplation, more leisure, but a placo of activity. The best testimony we can give to the influence of the dead is to couliuuo and extend tho work In which they dellghtod whilo they woro with us. Thoro should bo no mero gazing up Into heaven.

Hear a sermon that makes you contemplative, dreaming and that soothes you, and you may know that it is not of heaven. Thoro maybe parts of it gracious as tho beatitudes, tender as tho tears of Jc. but in overy right sormon thero must something liko a storm, a trumpet calling to battle, a sword terrible to him who would do evil at the altar. If any man Bays he mourns tho dead so doeply ho can do nothing for tho living ho is dishonoring tho doad, whom lie never understood, and is blighting the Ilowors which he pretends to preserve. When wo mourn our sainted dead it is our intirmity that mourns.

Our faith rejoices, our hope Blngs, our love keopB bloesed festival. Whon wo think of our Joy we forgot our own sorrows, and call men to bloss tho Lord for His goodno83 in giving rost to His. weary onos. Praise Him with tho sound of the, trumpet, praiao Him with tho harp, praise Him with tho timbrel and the danco, for Ho has oponod tho door of heaven and mado them glad who once knew tho bittornoss of infinite tribulation. After tho conclusion of the services Dr.

Parker remained on the platform and many of tlio audience pressed about him to shako his hand. The EvenlBff Service. Tho evening service drew together even greater crowd than thatof the morning, and longaf tor the church was filled lines protruded from tho frontdoors halfway to Henry street This was at 7:20. Jiy 7:30 1,500 peoplo wero waiting vainly for admission. They waited until 8 o'clock and then wont tome, boneless ot getting an opportunity to heat a asking that ho bo permitted to present an invitation to the Central Labor Union to attend a mooting to be hold to night Tho object of tho meeting was not divulged until ho had begun to read the following: "Groat Indignation meeting against tho Chisago blood Judgmont, on Monday, October 3, 8 P.

Tlio resolution canoed considerable discussion, In tho courso of which it was dovolopod that somo of tho delegates beliovod that somo parts of tho book woro too ono sldod.

Ho was opposod to tho motion on thoso grounds. The debate contiuued for somo time. Finally a motion was made to lay the question upon the table indefinitely.

Tho motion was lost and the motion to give it the approval of the Central Labor Union was carriod. Tho transaction of somo necossary routino business followod, aftor which the mooting adjourned.
