6 THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 189 1. MR. CHAMBERS'S STAND DOUBTS TIIK AVISD03I OF REAPPORTIONING TUB STATU Till WINTER. Annual Banquet of Mnrlon County Lincoln LeagufTlmely Topics Discussed Orcr the Board. The Marion County.

Lincoln League held Its annual meeting: last night In the Commercial Club dining room. The clubrooras were placed at the disposal of the hundred Republicans present, and there was a general social Intermingling before and after the menu. 'Warwick Ripley, the organizer of the league In this county, presided, and the programme went off without a break or mar. The first speaker was Smiley N. Chambers.

ex-United States district attorney, to whom was assigned the subject, "The Apportionment of the State." le went first Into a review of the political history of the last six years, showing that the election of the Republican candidate for President in 1SSS and of a majority iithe lower house led the party to believe that It had a lease of power promising to last a score of years. lie said that the party, however, waa not content to let the minority assume a part of the responsibility, but assumed the entire responsibility, and proceeded to emphasize the party declaration of a protective tariff by passing a radical measure, which the party, in Its next platform, was forced to Indorse. And notwithstanding the unexampled prosperity which followed this law', the party was, at the election of 1802, defeated at every olnt. This showed to him, Mr. Chambers said, that there is a vast number of conservative citizens, the number constantly enlarging, who resented the construction put In prac- tic by the successful party and at the first opportunity voted Its condemnation.

This element has become intolerant, Mr. Chambers said, of legislation of a political character, and no party can hope to retain power that uses the control temporarily intrusted to it to perpetuate itself. Prefacing thus the note of. warning that he Intended to sound, Mr. Chambers continued as follows, meeting applause for his frank sincerity, if not his views, on the duty of the next Legislature: "I am a Republican.

I believe in the Republican party, am loyal to its final decrees and support It through good and evil report because its patriotism, loyalty and capacity are needed in State and national affairs. Here to-night, speaking to Republicans upon the heels of a great victory, flushed with success, and hoping for a greater victory in IjBC I feel at liberty to speak what is in my heart without fear of giving offense to party friends or courage to party antagonists. "For the first time In years the Republicans control both branches of the State Legislature. Such indignities have been perpetrated upon the people of the State, and especially 'upon Republican counties, by an iniquitous apportionment of the State and by an inequitable fee and salary well as In the partisan management of our State institutions, as to give some excuse for a feeling of retaliation. There Is danger of fatal radicalism In legislation In this spirit.

The one- lesson that recent elections Impress upon me is moderation in legislation. There is great restlessness under the apportionment acts of 1S01-93. They are practically the same. They differ in some respects. The act of 1S91 was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.

That of has not been. The political question that confronts us is, slaall the State be apportioned by this Legislature? Section 4, Article 4, of the Constitution provides as follows i The General Assembly shall, at its second session after the adoption of this Constitution, and every six years thereafter, cause an enumeration to be made of all the male inhabitants over the age of twenty-one years Section 5 provides: The number of Senators and Representatives shall, at the session next following each period of making such enumeration, bo fixed by law and apportioned among the several counties according -to the male Inhabitants above twenty-one years of age in each. "No one will contend, I apprehend, more than one apportionment within the constitutional period of six years was contemplated by the framers of the Constitution. The period for an apportionment usual course will be in 1S97, by the Legislature to be elected in 1SLKJ. Therefore, if there is an apportionment at this time legally enacted and accepted and acted upon by the there is no power in the present Legislature to enact another.

What position does the Republican party occupy as to the present apportionment? In the first pace, the Republican party, believing it to be unfair, inequitable and unconstitutional, brought a suit, In the name of Mr. "Wishard, to test its constitutionality: It selected its forum, wa represented by able counsel, thoroughly investigated the questions, went to Judgment which was against its contention. appealed to the Supreme Court, but did not. prosecute that appeal to final Judgment, dismissing its case before the court passed upon the questions Involved. This left the judgment below In force.

If this were an action be-1 tween individuals it would be a final determination of the rights of parties. "In the second place, the Republican party has the fruits of this eleJnn under this apportionment, both legislative and congressional, in a large majority in both houses of the Legislature and in a solid Republican delegation in Congress. The gerrymander was wrong. It disfranchised thousands of our citizens, discriminated against Republican majorities and in favor of Democratic majorities. It has met Its condemnation at the hands of the people what the people have done they will do again.

Let us trust the people. The situation then this the Republican party in Its action against the Democratic party, permitted Judgment to go against it, which Judgment still stands In full force and effect. Again, the Republican party is, so far as the election by the people can determine the question concluded by their verdict. They have under this apportionment given us large majority in both, branches of the Legislature. 1 "Shall we not, In the election of 1S96, In a contest for presidential electors, Representatives In Congress and State officers, as well as for members of our State Legislature and a Representative In the United states Senate, stand by the good Judgment of the people and appeal to their integrity.

Or shall we present a doubtful constitutional question and jeopardize the entire-interests of the party in the State with the corservatlve elements of our citizenship, whose number and Influence are sufficient to throw the election into the hands of either party. 'The history of recent campaigns show3 no such want of confidence in the dominant party as the election Just held discloses toward the Democratic party. Its defeat on the issue presented 'freer raw material' is overwhelming. The protest against Democratic administration and administrative methods was universal; without exception every State in the Union, by a decreased Democratic vote, manifested Its displeasure with the Democratic party. This protest cannot be Justly called a protest atralnst the leaders of the party.

In New York, where Senator Hill has complete control of the party organization and where he was unanimously nominated for Governor, the party was defeated by 150,000 majority. In Indiana, where the per cents, or Cleveland faction had complete control the party was overthrown by the unprecedented majority of 45,000, the defeat of every Congressman and the loss of both branches of the Legislature. It was a party defeat, not the overthrow merely of the leaders of the party. We are taught by this pronouncd victory what we have bad Intimation of In a number of recent that we have reached a period of great conservatism In voting. As time has eenarated us from the war period, when the people were divided upon ls'ies vital to the prosperity of our Institutions, when political passions were Inflamed and party lines were closely drawn upon such vital Issues there Is less fidelity to parties." The next toast was "Party Pledges," to which Mayor Denny made a response.

The speech was a plea for an honest fulfillment of party pledges. He said they ought to be as sacred as contracts and the sentiment met with applause. BREAD AND BALLOTS. Oliver Hayes of the K. C.

Atkins Republican Club, responded to the toast "Bread and Ballots." The speech was received with much favor, containing several very apt hits. Among other things he said: 'Two years ago bread and ballots concluded to go it alone, and the results are still before us ami no comment. But the election of Nov. 6 shows that they are again traveling together. Never before did so many hungry men vote.

That election should pass into history as the 'empty Stomach "The Democratic party promlsod us bread, and we were offered Queen LSI. They promised us bread and gave us high-priced sugar. promised us bread and the Uua fcLcheat onicra boarded, a light-housa tender and steamed down thje Potomac river in search of health. "But bread has also been scarce In Democratic households. else why were em-bassadorships put at when friends' were few and calls were great? And if not on account of lean larder at home, why did the chaln.ian of the ways and means committee go all the way to London to fill up? "But bread and ballots are now traveling on a bicycle built for two, and after Nov.

3, lJSCtl. we shall never again har of "party perfidy and political John Quincy Hicks, president of the Railroad Men's Club, responded to the toast "The Lantern and the League." He said, after referring to the. victory of Nov. i "What had these to do with the great victory? Why, my friends, had it not been for the leagues, with their splendid organizations, combined with the hustling qualifications of the members thereof, accompanied by that lantern of thought to light up their minds and consciences, this victory could have easily been turned into defeat, and, instead of rejoicing to-day, we would have been like our friends, the enemy, dressed in sackcloth and doing penance for our shortsightedness. But do not let us get inflated over our magnificent victory; but, on the contrary, let us profit by what organization has done for us in the campaign Just closed, and improve and strengthen all the weak places, so when th national election comes along 1896 we will be ready for the fray and go into the fight with renewed energy and with a determination to break the record of 1834.

In conclusion, allow be to say that you can always rely on the lantern of the railroader to cast their lights on the league ind assist them in every and any way possible to insure success for Republicanism and protection." John Ford, of the Fourth ward, made a practical common sense defense of the challenger, defining hl3 duties with the aptitude of one closely acquainted with them. The challenger, he said, should not only make himself thoroughly familiar with the faces of every voter in the precinct, but should be at the polls ready to swear In every voter that he believes has a right to vote. W. L. Taylor described in an attractive way the scenes about the national convention at Denver, of the National Lincoln League.

He was received with manifestations of high favor. Hugh J. -Marshall, of the First ward, talked a few minutes on the "Vote Getter." STATE INSTITUTIONS. Chairman Ripley here introduced Reuben GIrard, a graduate of the Institute for the Deaf and Dumb, and president of the Deaf and Dumb Republican Club. He delivered his address, in response to the toast, "Our State Institutions," in the sign manual, while Mr.

"Warwick read it from manuscript. He said the mutes of the State are Republicans because they are looking to tho Republican party to. place the Institution in which they are so much interested upon a nonpartisan basis. His arraignment of the present management is of unusual and pertinent interest at this time. It was as follows: "Why are we deaf mutes Republicans?" he asked.

"Because we trust In the Republican party to reform the Institution for the Deaf, which has so long been mismanaged. In the year 1878 our great and beloved teacher of the deaf, Dr. Thomas Maclntlre, was removed by the Democratic board of trustees, and without any regard whatever to competency or qualification, a Democrat, Ignorant of the language of signs and of the method of educating the deaf, was appointed in his stead as superintendent of the Institute. Before that incident we never thought of taking any active part in politics, but since then we have been working for the success of th Republican party. When, in 1880, the Republicans elected A.

O. Porter Governor we were in great hopes he would appoint a board of trustees who would give us an experienced and Christian man for superintendent of the institute, I but we-were doomed to disappointment by the Democratic Legislature taking the appointing power from the Governor. And you remember when the Infamous Harrison boards were appointed, whence came the magotty butter transactions at the insane asylum and the appointment of a man of notorious character as superintendent of the Institute for the Deaf. I care not to state here to-night what happened that forced him to resign in 18W, but th people of Indiana must know the iniquities at the institute since 1379, and the coming Legislature should make a search-light investigation of the institute. "Now, Mr.

Toastmaster, I am not going to close my speech without saying a word in denunciation of the present superintendent. While incidents of a notorious character have not occurred, or have not been reported during his term, he has been very successful in deceiving the publlo as to his qualifications for superintendent of the institute. Does he understand the language of signs? No, Mr. Toastmaster. What signs he knows 1 could teach Mr.

Merrill Moores so that In ten minutes he would know as much. He shows that he knows himself incompetent by appointing a principal to assist him in managing the school part of the institute. W'hlle he was sure of the Democratic party being in power, he allowed the principal to retain his class, thus spoiling many a pupil by neglect that he might do duty as principal. But last fall he became a are that his party might go out of power, and, to fortify himself against any attacks upon his incompetency, he, with the consent of the board of trustees, made this assistant a full-fledged principal. By this act he admits that he is ncompetent, and he ought to step out and let the principal have full control-of the institute, for there Is no need of a principal and superintendent in an institute with only 350 pupils.

The Illinois Institute for the Deaf has more than five hundred pupils; the superintendent there has no principal, ami yet has plenty of time to attend to his duties. And the same may be said of other such Institutions which have twice the number of pupils' in our own degenerating institution. 'The present superintendent thinks he has done a remarkable thing In securing the services of persors whom he calls great teachers, from other States. But the superintendents of other institutions were only too glad to recommend them off to Hooslerdom to save the unpleasantness of discharging them as worthless teachers. He is like the small boy who picks up a dirty collar thrown away by a gentlemanly man and puts it on his neck and acts like the big man by striding proudly up and down the sidewalk.

Now, if the coming Legislature will legislate politics out of the institution. I believe there will not be a Democratic deaf mute left in Indiana." Frank Noble, one of the reliable Republican workers of the South Side, was called upon for a toast on the subject of organization and he made a speech to the point, urging that organization be extended upon lines of effort tc interest the good citizen and to secure the support of the young men of the community. He spoke with fluency and force. Joseph Broyles spoke on behalf of the colored Republicans, winning much applause. C.

A. Bookwalter talked on the subject of organization of clubs but sidetracked that feature to dsclare that the next Legislature should signalize the victory by giving the people of the State an absolutely fair apportionment. He received prolonged applause. He said he bowed in deference to the wisdom of -Mr. Chambers but he believed a fair apportionment would receive approval rather than condemnation at the next election.

Other speakers were John Mountain, Merrill Moores, W. Fesler and W. C. Van Arsdel. TO-DAY'S FORECAST.

Methodist Unable to Make n. Touch-dovrn "While the Iloilermnkers Have Score of 28. Purdue came with three hundred and DePauw with as many more howling enthusiasts to witness the championship game at the fair grounds yesterday. When the enthusiasts went home on the late night trains the Lafayette crowd was jubilant for the score had stood: Purdue, 28; De Pauw, 0. After serenading the Union Station for a few minutes the henchmen of the colleges marched up Illinois street and then up Washington, greeting: the populace with their welcome, though unmusical cries and the Indianapolltans stopped to hear the conglomeration of sound, which is rythmic as the boating song ot the Hindoo, and has in addition the energy of young American life.

The Denison was given up to the crowds for the two. hours before the teams left for the field and college alumni enjoyed themselves In this annual reunion at me capital, which has grown to be a most pleasant occasion. De Pauw partisans were sure that their team would score, but the Lafayette denizens only laughed at the idea and vowed that no team in Indiana could reach the twenty-five-yard line of the "boiler makers." Many lady adherents of the teams were conspicuous on the streets and street cars for their wealth of the patriotic colors and their bright faces told the athletes there was something more than newspaper notoriety to battle. for. The rain had commenced before many of the spectators left the city for the grounds and the drizzle continued all tho afternoon but the fifteen hundred people present were high and dry in the great grand stand and the stamping of feet to the tune "George Washington" restored the circulation to cold feet and gave an undertone to the, din of voices as they mingled in cheers for the favorites.

But the-rain was sufficient to drench the players and officials and buckets of water had to be carried to the Held to wash -the mud and blood from the physlogomy of the heroes. Ere the game had proceeded far the familiar DePauw yell bad become fainter and fainter and only at the last when a-touch-back was forced and the "Methodists" promised to score did the roof again vibrate with the "I3ullj; for old DePauw." Old timers were reminded of -a 'similar game in the rain and mud played at Lafayette three years ago betwesn the; same teams, when the score was. 30 to 0 in favor of Purdue. That year the Lafayette cup, a $200 silver vase, with a tine relief engraving of the Purdue team on its face was purchased of Tiffany by Lafayette citizens and offered to the Indiana' team which would for three years hold the championship. Purdue's victory yesterday secured her in the possession of this cup and she has well earned it.

No team in the West has maintained such a steady record of victories as has Purdue for the last four years. In those four years the entire collective score made against' her has -been but 30 while she has scored over 600 points against opponents. OPENING THE GAMS, DePauw opened by sending the ball well down the field to Buschman, who caught it and started for the goal, magnificently guarded by Jamison, Fulkerson, McIIenry and Moore, gaining the distance of eighty yarda before he was tackled by Sandy. This was the great play of the day, not only on the part of Buschman but on the part of those who guarded htm. Moore now gained six yards against heavy oppo-usltlon, the tall Webb pitched over tho line and shied "himself along the ground for another six yards.

Smith made a line run of eight yards around the left end wRh prospect of a clear field, but was tackled; by Lalllnes. More carried the ball oven the line and Fulkerson kicked ing Purdue 6 in less than two mjnutes.l Ruick kicked the ball thirty-five yards! for DePauw, but the runner was downed by Gary in good style. Webb gained ten yards around one end and Smith ten around the other. Fulkerson was cheered as he left his place in the line and plunged through the scrimmage for eight yards with three men hanging to him. Webb leaned forward over Davis for five yards, and Moore dodged between tackle and end, for five more.

Purdue was given twenty-live yards for a foul tackle and again started for goal, but Corbett had learned defensive work at Harvard, and he left no duty unperformed in teaching DePauw. Her line came down to their knees and blocked Purdue's onslaught, while her wary rushes successfully watched for flying plays, but she had no aggressive plays. Her last three weeks' training gave Purdue the best resistance she has met this year. Purdue accordingly lost the ball on downs and Reeves startled hl3 friends by eluding McIIenry and gaining twenty yards. He had no interference but had cleared all opposition excepting Jamison, who brought him down.

Purdue soon gained the ball on downs, and after gains by Moore and Smith, Buschman again flew down the field guarded by Jamison and Fulkerson, and carried the ball over the line. He fell, however, and dropped the ball, which rolled under the fence and was secured by Ruick. This constituted a touehback, which counts nothing, but brings the teams back into the field. Ballard kicked the ball for twenty yards, which was returned in good style for twenty yards. Fulkerson forged through for good gains and Webb made the touchdown.

The ball was wet and goal a hard one, and Fulkerson failed to put the ball between the bars. Purdue, 10. Ballard made twenty yards at the kick-off, but Buschman caught the ball and returned it eight. Jamison was shot through the center for three yards and Smith, beautifully guarded by Marshall, made ten yards around the left end. Alward now started around the right end, guarded by Fulkerson and McIIenry.

It was Heffelflnger's old game, and Fulkerson played it well, making fifteen yards. It tvas here that Breen, the Irish boy from Massachusetts, ran across the field with a large bucket of water to cleanse Jamison's eye, and while the operation was going on the players good na-turedly threw handfuls of mud at one another. Moore made the last five yards and the touchdown. Fulkerson failed on goal and the score was 14. BUSCHMAN'S SORE EYE.

Buschman retired on account of bruises upon his sore eye, and was replaced by Schmltz, who was distinguished by a tendency to baldness. DePauw sent the ball adown field for forty yards. vJamison caught and returned the ball twelve but was tackled by Scotten. Alward, went through the right end for another gain, but Ballard received applause for a brilliant tackle, in which DePauw stole the ball. Scotten and Ballard both made fine gains, but Purdue again secured the ball and made successive gains, but' the ball was fumbled to Kulck.

DePauw tried in vain to advance through the line, and finally trusted Ballard to try the 'efficacy of punting. Again and again during the same did Ballard's long punts prevent a touchdown by Purdue, and to him is largely due praise for the fact that the score was not twice Us size against DePauw. Purdue was steadily going to goal, however, when time was called, with the score: Purdue. 14; De Pftuw 0 The' second half began with the ball In Purdue's possession. Meanwhile the rain continued and the field was slippery and muddy.

Interference plays were thus hampered and good kicking was Impossible, although Ballard still defended well by punting. The scrimmages became a seething mass of men and mud, but the players seemed to enjoy it, and the full time was played. Jamison made the kick -off and Ballard and Roller made short gains, but DePauw lost the ball on downs. Ballard punted to Jamison. The intermission had stiffened the players, and for a few minutes they proceeded to mix themselves, winding each other up into a conical pile, from which feet, arms and ion? lock? of hair protruded at intervals.

After the limbering process Iirdtie went rapidly to goal, Moore making the touchdown. Fulkerson kicked goal. Purdue. 20. Ballard made a pocr punt of ten yards to Schmltz, who distinguished -himself with a great run of sixty-five yards, making the, touchdown.

He was guarded by Ger-ber, Marshall and Jamison, who successfully met every assailant and protected the runner. Ballard and Scotten pitched themselves headlong for the bald-headed man, but were warded off and fell sprawling In the mud. The goal was a hard one, and Fulkerson missed it. Purdue, 21. PURDUE'S LAST POINTS.

Ruick caught Jaulson's kick, but was tackled In his tracks by Marshall, who broke through the line time ani again, dropping his opponent in the mud. Ballard again resorted to punting and Pui due lost twenty yards. JanaUon returned, the punt several times. Webb made fifteen yards past Mitchell, but was stopped by Ruick in a fine tackle. After several changes of hands DePauw made some fine gains by Mitchell, Reeves, Ballard and Scotten, but McIIenry and Marshall were infallible, and the men dropped disheartened.

Jamison made a fine gain of twelve yards for Purdue, the great player falling three times, and recovering himself, only to be tackled by Alward, guarded by Gerber and Jamison, made twelve yards. Fulkerson guarded Moore for ten yards across and around the DePauw line, and Mitchell secured the ball on a fumble. Ballard punted the ball to Schmltz, who made another great run of thirty-five yards, splendidly guarded by Gerber and Alward. but dropped as he crossed the line, and Gerber recovered it, and the touchdown was to his credit. The goal was again missed, and the score was: Purdue, 28; DePauw, 0.

Ballard's punting again took the ball toward his goal, and at the twenty-flve-yard line he again punted and sent the ball over the bar. The DePauw crowd mistaking the punt for a drop kick went wild, only to cool down on hearing the official decision. The game closed in rain, and the crowd was quiet in the effort to keep dry. BUTLER "WILL DE EXPELLED. What Stndents Claim Ann Arbor May Flay Here Next Year.

While the attendance at the fair grounds was a disappointment to the college managers, they announced last night that the receipts were sufficient to cover the entire expenses of the game and the ImiCediate preparation for it. Manager Church bays the DePauw association has but a small debt, and she will be able to get from under it by the aid of the students. Purdue has conducted a. very expensive season, expending a fabulous sum for coaching alone, and most of her games have necessarily been played away from home. However, Manager Kennon announces that the receipts of the season have been equal to the expenses, and that the Purdue association is only slightly embarrassed by a debt acquired in park Improvements, and the embarrassment arising from the small receipts of yesterday Is only temporary.

The Purdue people unite in praise of Manager Kennon's work of the year. lie has shown himself to be a man of exceptional executive ability, and It Is due to his wise management that the expenses have been 'met as well as they have and that tho team has been so successful. Air. Kennon is now in correspondence with the management of the Ann Arbor team looking to the arrangement of a game for next Thanksgiving day. The result of this correspondence will probably be that these two teams will play here next year.

The outcome of the Wabash-Butler game last Saturday would give this place to Butler, but the colleges of the association, fc is said, have agreed to expel Butler at tut March meeting, and Purdue will make amicable arrangements with the other association teams by which a game with the Ann Arbor team, or one equally as strong, may permitted without any breach of faith. Purdue has played for years with teams which are not in her class, and she expects to bring to the Indiana capital next year a game which will have something of the importance to the Wert that the great New York game has to the Eastern colleges. The State fair grounds have been leased for that purpose by Mr. Kennon. Balllet will probably return to Purdue and coach next year's team, which promises to be even stronger than the team of this year.

President Smart is receiving the support of the college faculties of Indiana in his effort to remove the taint of professionalism from football in the West and Northwest. The colleges are determined, he paid, that they will be no longer embarrassed by professional teams. The effect of the change in the rules this year has been beneficial to the game, and has been appreciated by the public. It has mad the game more interesting from a spectacular standpoint and more Intelligible to the uninitiated. The great interference plays of the Purdue team yesterday have not been ex-Celled anywhere in this country, and De Pauw's defense has been rarely equaled by so light a team.

The playing of the De Pauw team was evidence of what three weeks' work under the hand of a great trainer will accomplish with green men. Coacher Corbet deserves most of the credit for the improvement. Mitchell will probably be captain of the DePauw team again next year, and in case Fulkerson should go into active engineering work, either Jamison or Buschman will captain the Purdue team. AT THE TABERNACLE REV. DR.

CHAPMAN PREACHES A THANKSGIVING NIGHT SERMON. The Agony of Christ In Gethsemane Furnlshen the Subject for His Talk The Crowds. Cold, sloppy and altogether miserable though tho weather was last night, it did not keep the people away from the Tabernacle Church where fell the words of Dr. Chapman, who has already endeared him-f IT to the hearts of the church people of thiF city by his fervor and earnestness and peculiar eloquence with, which he appeals to the people to take heed of his warning and that of his assistants. The pews of the church had been rearranged so as to accommodate the visitors, some of them being turned to the east so that every person in the house could see the speaker by very slightly turning their heuds.

He spoke from the pulpit at the east side of the house. Everything seemed to be just a little better than at any of the previous meetings which have been held In the various churches of the city. This started with the singing and continued through the whole meeting. It seemed that the hymns selected were just the ones that fitted at the particular time when they were sung. The text was a part, of the twenty-second chapter of St.

Luke: "And being in an agony, He prayed more earnestly." The text has reference to the time Christ was praying In the Garden of Gethsemane just before his betrayal into the hands of his ervzmies, and the sceno was most graphically pictured by Dr. Chapman. He spoke in substance as follows: "I believe you would apreclate the text more if I should read the entire verse to you. Some of you are familiar with it. 'And being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as if it were great drops of blood falling down to the Unbelievers read this section of scriptures and place a question mark after this verse.

They question the possibility of its truth and doubt that the Saviour sweat blood when he prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. "One of these once said to me. In refer-ense to this section, that if he could show that a put of the story was false, he had succeeded in showing that the whole was unworthy of credence. He then said that it was a physical Impossibility that a man should sweat blood. Not long ago, I was talking to one of the prominent ministers of Chicago and he told ms of having been talking to a man of his acquaintance when he received a telegram concerning a son who was then in the West.

The father had supposed that his son was doing well, as it is said of the world. He tore open the telegram and there was an awful change came over his countenance. He crumpled the, telegram In his fist ana with a shriek sank to his knees and exclaimed 'Oh, my The minister told me that bug a drops of blood sweat stood out upon his forehead and ran down his face and trickled dwn across his breast. The tele- gram was about the absent son and told him that he had been convicted of murder and was about to be executed for the crime. I believe if a fathed will sweat blood for a son so the Son of God when he became sin bearer for the world.

I believe in the possibility of tha literal fulfillment of the text. "This prayer was after the last supper when Christ, with his apostles were gathered together in that little room when the Saviour told them that before morning one of them should betray him. Bishop Brooks says that he knows that each of them must have said, Ixrd, is it IT Do you remember the word says that a hymn was sung on this occasion. Never before or after that time is there any mention of singing. That is the only place that Christ and his apostles are reported to have sung.

His llf? was a life of agony, because on him rested the sins of the orld. After this supper and the singing of the hymn we are told that Jesus and his apostles went out, and Bishop Parker says there never was, before or rince, such a going out as this. What a scene that must have been, the journey of the Saviour to the garden with his followers! You remember it was on this journey that Peter said he would not deny his Lord. Then when they neared the garden. He told the three that were His favorites to tarry for avhile, and He went Into the garden to pray.

He had prayed before. Up in the mountain He had prayed. 1 can see Him when He was asked by His followers to teach them how to pray, and said to them to pray alter this manner; 'Our Father, who art In Heaven. But never before had He prayed In the way He prayed in that garden. Lying with His face on the grCand, then rising and standing erect, then kneeling upon the earth.

'Being in an agony. He prayed more Then He went back to His apostles and found them asleep, and He said. 'Their eyes are How like Him to say this. I can imagine Him saying to himself, 'Poor fellows, these have been trying days for them, and it is little wonder they Don't you know that Christ is always making explanations for our Then He went back to the garden and prayed again and the drops of blood stood out on His face. After that He returned to the apostles and then went to the scene in that court room.

Oh, men, catch, if possible, some of the spirit of the Master as He prayed under those trees when you are praying. We have all prayed, but never like thist 'Being in an agony. He prayed more Have we ever learned that text? 'Being in an agony. He prayed more "I was preaching one time in the State of New York and we had but small success. Early one morning the man who was singing with me came to my room and called me to get up.

I arose and he said one of the prominent ministers of the city was in hl3 room and wanted to see me. I went to the room and saw the minister with his face buried In his hands, and he told me he had been praying all night for a man living across the street from him. He said he must have the asistance of some Christian in his prayers, and together we kneeled there In the room and prayed for the man. That night he arose in the meeting and confessed Christ, and fifty others did the same thing. In six days after that five hundred people In that place were converted, and it all came from the agony of heart of one minister.

Oh, may God teach us how to fray! You know the power of prayer, is a matter of history that Charles gave religious freedom to Germany after the prayers of Luther, and it is a matter of history that when Knox prayed to God. lying upon his face in an agony, 'Oh, God, give me Scotland or I'll that God gave him Scotland. A young minister across tha water preached a sermon which converted five hundred persons. When the sermon was printed and read there were many people who said they had often heard better sermons than that. So they had, but all the night before the preaching tha sermon the preacher had laid on his face in the garden and prayed to God, and two hundred members of the church had prayed In agony for an outpouring of the spirit of God.

"The Psalmist says a deep sorrow has taken hold on me because the people love not the Lord, and again be says rivers of water run down my face because the people keep not the law. Paul tells us that he went about in tears crying out to men to repent. Why don't we do this to-day? Has something else taken the place of this agony? I am not asking for sensation; I don't want it. And don't think I would have you always Jn this agony, for your reason would give way if you were, but I think 5,000 would be converted If. everyone in this house would pray for it in this way.

I believe such a spirit of concern never failed to move the unconverted. I know of nothing that serves more to keep persons out of the church than the apparent indifference of the Christians. There are 1.000 men in this city in the best walks of life who would come into the kingdom of God if only you, who are Christians, would evince a deep concern In them. I can never get them by preaching, nor can my brother sing them Into the kingdom, but they would honor the clasp of your hand and your invitation to come. Whole nights of prayers are always followed by whole days of soul winning.

To your knees! To your knees, if you would win the city." Dr. Chapman then recounted In the most graphic manner the perishing of Mrs. Van-dusen in the Battle Creek (Mich.) railroad wreck. As he depicted the horrible scene it came in an awful vividness before the eyes of -his hearers and many a handkerchief caught the sympathetic tears that forced themselves up from the hearts that were touched to the quick by the realistic portrayal of that terrible scene. In the wreck Mrs.

Vandusen was pinioned by broken timbers and held till the flames burned to her and she perished In them. Dr. Chapman described how the men worked valiantly to cut away the timbers and save her life while the flames came rapidly upon them. He described how, when it was apparent that she could not be saved, she told the men to stand back that she had always lived a Christian life and could die. Then she began to sing "Jesus, Lover of My Soul." Then strong men turned their heads from the terrible scene and fainted.

Continuing on the line of the text. Dr Chapman said: "It is the strangest thing in the world that I can read in the Bible the things which show me that men are lost without God and have no agony when I see a man who has not been saved." Here he paused for several moments He bowed his head as if in deep meditation Finally he raised his head and said in a low voice filled with emotion: Wnd being In an agony he prayed more earnestly. Let us pray." The prayer was a silent one. In which the entire congregation was asked to join. After a few minutes In this silent prayer he raised his head and asked for th5se who desired the prayers of the Christians for a brother, sister, father, mother, son, daughter, husband, wife or friend to rise and simply say "ily brother, My sister or friend' The response to this request was wonderful.

Over fifty persons arose and requested prayers. Then Dr. Chapman asked that all those who wished prayers of Christians for themselves to raise their hands. Nearly as many persons raised their hands as an Indication that they desired prayers for themselves. The Indications were that the meeting of last night was by far the most fruitful of any of the series, and Dr.

Chapman said at Its conclusion that he felt that had been. Dr. Chapman1! Morning: Sermon. The text of the sermon by Dr. Chapman at the Second Presbyterian Church yesterday morning was from the eleventh chapter of Deuteronomy.

The text was, "As the days of heaven upon earth." In connection with the text Re read from the Apocalypso of the vision of John when he spoke of the. first heaven and earth passing away and a new heaven and a new earth taking their places. He said many men had felt homesick for heaven, and they were In good company when they did, for some of the saints, and even Jesus himself, had felt a homesickness for heaven when they were on earth. There is a heaven on earth, and all of us who are or have been Chrisr tlans have felt It. Then he enumerated the days in the lives of men which might be called the "days of heaven upon earth." The first of these, he said, was probably the day of conversion, when they first knew the saving grace of God.

There were days of heaven upon earth in the garden of Eden before the fall. But that ended. Uinietulltsta Leave St. Loots. ST.
