They Are the Priesthood apd the Teacher and the Home. pression could have been used more vividly descriptive of the value God places upon His children than this. In all the wide expanse of His creation, the costliest, the most beautiful, the most valuable thing He looks upon the only thing He calls His jewel is the soul that clings to Him as its father and Saviour. All the material world cost Him only a word. This soul is God-breathed.

God's breath gave it birth. When it was marred, scarred and polluted by sin, God desired to redeem it. He could have given worlds like this, but these could not have bought it back. The gift of His Sou for its redemption shows us what value He placed upon it. "Second The preservation of God's jewels.

They are protected by divine power. Tbey are hid with Christ in God. 'And I will give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any one pi uck them out of My hand. I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature is able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. "Third The preparation of God's jewels.

The brilliant diamond that flashes in the King's diadem has passed through a process of cleaning, carving and polishing. The soul is prepared more perfectly for its glorious state hereafter by the keen-edged providences that await it here. Every event in the Christian's life is a master touch from the divine jeweler. Who are these which are arrayed in white robes? And whence came they? These are they which have come out of great tribulation and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. "Fourth The eternal setting of God's jewels." Dr.

Tunper closed with a vivid description cf the heavenly existence of the redeemed soul, and earnestly appealed to these who have this hope, that their lives here be a bright reflection of the will and purposes of God.

A. J. Kowland-Dr. Greg- gory's Anniversary Sermon Progress of liaptir-t Missionary "Work in India. Rev.

E. Y. Mullir-s, pastor of Leo Street Faptist Church, preached yesterday morning on "Vacation Thoughts." He had just refurned from his summer trip aud -was greeted by a larsre congregation, lie said in part: "A vacation season is profitable in many ways, la 'meeting new people and observing methods of work in other fields of Christian labor great profit is found by the observer who cares to learn. One point we should bear in mind about the vacation itself. It is a means to an end.

We rest not merely for the sake of rest, but that we may work better afterward. We need to take hold or our work without delay when the vacation is ever. It takes a lit tie wnile to get in the harness fully after we begin. Christian work is like everything else, practice gives skill. Our regular duties at least are laid aside during vacation.

Boys in the South say when the marble-playing season comes around that they can't play well till they get their "hands So with church work. We caunct Uo it well till we get our 'hands Let every Christian take hold of his duties now and get his 'hand "During my vacation I visited various parts of New England and attended the meetings of ttie Vineyard Association at Martha's Vireyarrf, thar delightful island out from the Massachusetts coast. I also visited Boston, where I preached two Sundays in August. A number of things impressed me. One was that there are very few Baptist churches in the towns aid villages of New England.

There are more of them in the cities. In nearly all these towns the Congregationalists ana Methodists are the leading churches. These denominations were wise enough to occupy the field tererations ago. and if we Baptists are to do our scare of the Christian work in the new and growing towns of the West we must enter the field and sow our seeds now. The South is largely supplied with Baptist churches because of the zeal of our forefathers.

"Many of the New England churches are wanting in the evangelistic spirit. An intelligent gentleman told me that many of the churches were lesiug ground and gradually dying out from the lack ef efforts to reach the unsaved masses. What is needed in many of them is a revival of the old-fashioned methods of preaching. Their preachers are remarkably able and thoughtful men, but they do not equal most Southern preachers in the evangelistic spirit. "There is a hopeful sign throughout New Entrland in the young people's movement.

Christian Endeavor societies flourish on all hands, and a new life is being infused into many old organizations. A pastor, who is growing old. said that to him the young people's movement is a ruirscle. He could remember when a young man who took part in a prayer-meeting ortaught aSunday-Bchool class was considered as great a curiosity as the Siamese twins, and that the general feeiinjs about such a young man was that he should be put in a glass case and preserved. Now young men by the scores and hundreds are becoming active in Christian work.

"I am a Southerner by birth and residence and tradition, aud we Southerners have thought we were the most hospitable people in the world. And it would be hard to exaggerate the warmth and generosity of the typical Southern hospitality. But I must Eay for the New Englanders they are not surpassed any in this respect, so far as I have Eeea in the last two summers. Then, Uo, they are forgetting the war. The true spirit of Christian fellowship is saining possession of their hearts.

The Northerner who traduces the South is becoming rare. I heard one man say Southern soldiers were found afterward that he never fought in a battle during the whole war. I asked another officer who had fought on the Union Bide if any real battle-scarred men of the North held the theory that Southern soldiers of the war were cowards. He replied: 'Yes, there are battle-scarred men who say that, but tbey all carry their scars on their "The Bible ol ten compares the Christian life to a pilgrimage. We are journeying toward a heavenly home.

My trip often suggested to me the experiences of the Christian pilgrimage. Sometimes it is hot and dusty and crowded on the train. So much of the Christian life is uncomfortable. Then again there is tha delightful boat ride on the bay, Bmooth sailing and balmy breezes. So with many of our pleasant Christian experiences.

Then there is the jolting stage ride that sometimes comes suggesting the rough places of life sometimes the dark and dismal tunnel suggesting the dark places of life. But the rough and dark places are soon passed and while in them we still make progress. Friday afternoon, as I drew near home after a tiresome day's ride.the sun set in a clear sky the close tc the true Christian's pil-grimaire of life, and as we came into the city after dark the lights became visible and suggested home and friends and reunion. So may your life aud mine close with clear sunset and flashing lights of the New Jerusalem breaking on our AN APPROPRIATE PRATER. Cases P.efore the.

We met our friend from Boston, and with him and others all over Bayreuth, taking them to so-e 1 "rau AVagner and the graves of Liszt and Watr iv.r. "Every one spoke of the great triumph of Frau Sucher. who is conceded to be the only artist here who fully measures up to the high standard of the Bayreuth performances.

Sh is always so lovely to us, which makes uh feel very proud. This year she stays at Carlsbad, and only comes with her husband to Bayreuth when she is to eing.

"Frau AVagner comes in for as great a share of abuse as ever, because she i3 blamed for all the shortcomings this season, which is too bad. I have found out at last why she cannot get the great artists to come here any more. In the first place, she will not pay them enough, aud then she is so dictatorial in her behavior to them.

She wants them to act and do as she pleases, which, as a matter of course, they will not submit to. Fraulein Wiborg was asked why in the second act of 'Tannhauser' she enters with her arms extended high up in the air. Her reply was: 'If you had seen how Frau Cosima AVagner stood behind me and compelled me to hold my arms for ten long minutes up in the air you would not ask me that The members of the different AVagner societies throughout Germany vow that it is the last time that they are coming to Bayreuth, and the audiences will no doubt be made up of foreigners.

MIhs Marcia Virginia Thomas Drowned. Sir. William H. cf Miss Marcia Virginia Thomas, the lady who was drowned at Rangely Lake. last Friday afternoon, reached his home at 19 South Strieker street, yesterday, accompanied by Mrs.

Thomas and his two daughters. Misses Fannio and Florence. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, with their three daughters.

Misses Fannie, Marcia and Florence, had been camping on the shore of Lake Rangely since July They lived in a log cabin and had a native guide to pilot them in their rambles. The trip to Maine was taken for the benefit of Mr. Thomas's health, and Miss Marcia improved her opportunities by making sketches. Last Friday afternoon, about 3 o'clock, Mr. Thomas and Misses Marcia and Florence got into a canoe with their guide, who was in the stern, paddling.

When about 300 yards from the shore, a heavy wave struck the canoe. The guide.who was standing lost his balance and fell, causing the canoe to careen. All four of the occupants were thrown into the lake. The canoe turned upside down. The guide, who had oa a heavy overcoat, sank, but was washed ashore alive.

Mr. Thomas, who is an expert swimmer, grasped his two daughters and held on to them while endeavoring to right the canoe. All three were encumbered with heavy clothing. Finally Miss Marcia's strength failed her, and although Mr. Thomas continued his frantic exertions to rescue his daughters, he was so exhausted toat his efforts were becdflKng feeble.

In some way he lost his hold of Miss Marcia, and her dress becoming entangled in the was dragged under the water and was drowned. Mr. Thomas says it was largely due to the nerve and presence of mind of bis daughter Florence that he and she were saved. All the time Mr. Thomas and the girls were battling for life Mrs.

Thomas was an agonized spectator. She and her other daughter Fannie saw the canoe upset, but were powerless to render assistance. The nearest settlement was at ltangeley Lake Hotel, seven miles ofi. Miss Fannie started to hunt for help and after running along the shore her cries attracted the attention of two men camping in the woods. Ic was some time before they reached the scene, and, besides, neither could swim.

Thev cut down several trees, however, and constructed a rough raft, by which Mr. Thomas and Miss Florence were rescued. Late in the evening a party of men from Lake Rageley Hotel went out to search for Miss Marcia's body. It was recovered Saturday morning and will reach Baltimore this afternoon. The remains will bo taken at once to Frederick city for burial in the family lot there.

Miss Marcia was the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas. She gave promise at the last exhibition of the Charcoal Club of artistic talent. Her specialty was portraiture, and the home of the family in Baltimore contains many of her sketches and paintings.

She studied with Chase, of New York, and afterward with Castaigne, of Baltimore. Miss Florence, who was rescued, is the youngest of the three daughters, and is a student at the Woman's College. Mr. Wm. H.

Thomas is in the wholesale fruit business at 218 South Charles street. Hoston and Savannah Sea Passengers. The following passengers sailed for Boston per steamship Dorchester, Capt. T. M.Hawes, yesterday: Mr.

John Harris. The New Hector of St. Peter's Church. A large congregation was at St. Peter's Protestant Episcopal Church at the morning service yesterday.

Rev. Frederick W. Ciampett, the new rector, was assisted by Rev. Edward P. Grey, of Baltimore.

Mr. Ciampett spoke from the chancel of the solemn relationship of the clergyman and people and the importance of a sacred permanent bond between them. Later on, be said, he intended to formulate plans for the future working of the church, but at present desired to consolidate the forces and make the foundation as strong as possible. With much emphasis he stated that the pastoral work demanded the utmost attention, and while the power of the pulpit, he argued, should not be depreciated, it was almost subordinate to that of persistent, aggressive and systematic parish work. His sermon was based on the words of St.

John, "I am as the voice of one crying in the wilderness," and was an appeal for Christian manliness and zeal in Christian work. The sub.iect of his discourse at night was: "Is Christianity Adapted to Modern Needs?" The Occultation of Mars took place yesterday morning under the most favorable conditions for the great number of persons who have no telescopes. The sky was cloudless, and the moon, which will be full at 4.51 P. M. Tuesday, formed a nearly circular shield of silvery brightness.

During the period of 20.9 minutes pastl o'clock until 2.08 A.M. the moon was low on the southwestern horizon. As Mars and the moon approached each other the brilliancy of the earth's satellite rendered Mars almost invisible to the naked eye, but by interposing the dark shadow of some building a short distance from the observer it was possible to watch the gradual approach of the planet and the satellite until the moment of immersion.

Throngs on the Electric Railways. A suburban ride on one of the three electric railways running out of Baltimore is becoming a popular Sunday afternoon recreation. Many persons who have heretofore visited the parks on Sunday for rest and fresh air now take this method of enjoying the invigorating breezes and green shades of the country. From midday until late in the evening yesterday all the electric cars were crowded, while great throngs cf peopie were at the stopping points along the routes waiting to secure a seat. At Retreat and Francis streets, the city terminus of the Pimlico and Pikesville line, a crowd was always in waiting, and as soon as a car was ready to start it was crowded to its capacity.

The Lake Roland Elevated was also pushed to its tull capacity to accommodate the persons who patiently waited to secure seats. In South Baltimore the Curtis Bay line had all its cars running at short intervals, yet they were uncomfortably jammed on every trip. Whole families made the excursion from one end of the route to the other, with apparently no other object than to escape from the city and enjoy the country scenes. The riders on the various electric liDes included workingmen, merchants and professional men alike, enjoying, with their wive3 and children, the novelty of a ride by electricity. Many persons living along these lines in the suburbs take advantage of the quick transit afforded and come to the city to attend church or visit friends.

Late in the evening crowds of country folks could be seen boarding the cars for the homeward trip. Pimlico, Curtis Bay and Walbrook caught most of the city passengers. To Pimlico went the lovers of horses to discuss past and future events at the track. To Curtis Bay went those whose interests are centered in the manufacturing industries, while on the other line were many who wished to stroll through the park and enjoy the shade. Baltimoreans on the Steamship Rugia.

The parents ot Miss Cora McClintock, one of several Baltimore ladies detained on board the steamship Rugia in New York harbor, have received a telegram at their home, 313 North Broadway, stating that she is in perfect health. Mr. W. J. McClintock, father of Miss McClintock, telegraphed to Dr.

Jenkins, the New York sanitary physician, asking about the health of his daughter and received the answer in reply. Miss McClintock is one of the teachers in male grammar school No. 1L She went abroad several months ago. Mr. Henry Joesting received a telegram from his daughter.

Miss Mamie, who is a passenger on the Rugia, saying that she Is well and does not anticipate any personal danger from the cholera. The family of Miss Mary Holmes, who is also detained on board the Rugia, have received no news from her further than a telegram that reached her mother at her home, 846 West Lombard street, at 10 o'clock Saturday night. It said: "Detained at quarantine, but all well." Miss Holmes's uncle.Mr. Joseph H. Krager, stated yesterday that he intended to go to New York today, and if necessary would charter a tug and try to communicate with Miss Holmes.

The Public Schools Will Open Today. After a holiday of two months Baltimore's school children will start their fall work at 9 o'clock this morning. For the first month their labors will be rather light, and there will be but one session of the public schools daily. This will give the children the afternoon to themselves. The damage to the City College building has necessitated the location of the pupils in male grammar school No.

1, northeast corner of Fas'ette and Greene streets. The boys of No. 1 will occupy the basement of female grammar school No. on the southwest corner of Greene and Fayette streets, and some of the rooms of male grammar school No. 18, Mulberry street, near Fremont.

BISHOP MAES AT THE CATHEDRAL. Cardinal Gibbons in the Sanctuary Sketch of the Visiting; JPrelate The Eleven o'clock Sunday Morning; Masses Resumed for the Winter. The o'clock Sunday morning high mass, which was suspended at the beginning of summer, was resumed yesterday at the Cathedral, Bishop "Maes, of Covington, preaching. Kev. P.

J. Donahue, rector of the Cathedral, was celebrant of the mass, Rev.C. F.Thomas deacon, and Rev. J. T.AVhe-lan sub-deacon.

Cardinal Gibbons was present. Bishop Maes is about the medium height. He has a good voice aud is an easy, fluent speaker, his Belgian origin manifesting itself in his accent. He is one of the foremost of Catholic historians, particularly in matters relating to the church in the western part of this country, where he has been at work ever since his arrival here in 1869. He received his preparatory education iu the college of Courtrai, Belgium, where he was born, and after graduation studied philosophy and theology at Bruges.

With the object of preparing himself fcr missionary work ia the United States he finished his theological studies iu the American college at Louvain. He was ordained priest iu December of 18G3 and shortly afterward sailed for America. He had been assigned to the diocese of Detroit, and on bis arrival in Michigan he was made pastor of St. Peter's Church at Mount Clemens. He was transferred in 1S71 to St.

Mary's Church or Monroe City, and to St. John's Church of the same place in 1S73. He was appointed secretary to Bishop Burgess in 1880, and in January of 1885 he was consecrated Bishop of Covington. He came to Baltimore to give the annual retreat to the clergy of the archdiocese, and will remain here for several days as the guest of Kev. Dr.

A. L. Magnien, president of St. Mary's Seminary. His sermon yesterday was on "The Forces Felt In the Growth of the Catholic Church." "Any thoughtful observer wha will study seriously tho trend of thought and action in these United States," he said, "will find that in the past quarter of a century the Holy Catholic Church has taken giant strides in the lines of advancement.

At the second council of Baltimore, held in 1885, this arendiocese was the centre of Catholicity of this country, while all the great outside country beyond the dioceses of New York, Boston and Baltimore was really missionary country. The Catholic people were poor and frequently despised. Throughout the country was seldom seen Catholic churches more imposing than the little frame buildings put up by the pennies of the poor parishoners. But these have now disappeared and in their places have been reared magnificent churches and cathedrals of everlasting stone. "The poor apologies for schools, built of logs at the expense of the poorly-paid parish priests, are now gone, and splendid and costly edifices have sprung up in their stead, in equipment and the ability of their teachers the peers of any educational institutions of the land.

Then our charitable institutions were mean, but few in number and widely scattered. Now hospitals and asylums are everywhere, and in grandeur excel even the palaces of our cardinals and archbishops. "Today, in intelligence, in ability and in material wealth, the adherents of the Catholic Church are the peers of any. They feel what their religion 13 to them, and what it has done for them. They appreciate the blessings of liberty and have used it.

The influence of the Catholic layman is being felt more and more in the affairs of the nation. But the question is frequently asked, 'is this great growth a healthy one. has it in itself the germ of I answer, yes. Three forces have worked together for the life of the church and its vitality. The se have been the priesthood, the Catholic teacher and the Catholic home.

The priesthood is a power a divine power. Jesus Christ himself established it. He has given to the Pope and the clergy the world to be its masters. Our priesthood in America is as good as any in the world today nay, I believe they have no equals in the world. They do their duty manfully and well.

"The Catholic teacher is another great power that has helped the church on to her present proud position. In the schools every force is brought to bear upon the children to make them reach their highest development. In the Catholic school the child realizes all of which he is capable. ot only the priests and the bishops but the families as well realize the necessity and the benefits of the Catholic schools. "As to the Catholic home.

A great deal has been said and written of late about the influence of the layman. I do not undervalue this. It is the duty of every Catholic layman not only to take care of his family, but to have the welfare of his church at heart, and to bring the Catholic home to its highest development. And what is a Catholic home? It is the sum total of the best influence of a Catholic father and the love of a Catholic mother acting upon their children and the influence of the chili reacting and having influence upon both. This constitutes the Catholic home.

But have we many of them? Is there a Catholic home for every Catholic family? I regret to say there is not. Many influences have worked against them. This struggle for material prosperity has been one of the greatest. To achieve wealth the father is often away from his home from fearly morning until late at night. He has made himself a slave, hardly knowing his own children.

Returning to his home at night, wearied aud worn with bi3 exertions of the day, he seeks the amusements afforded by the club, or, if he is in humble circumstances, the saloon Is sought. He leaves there too late to obtain the rest he needs before he goe3 tack to his work. It in humble life, the mother leaves her home to go to work early, not returning till late, or, if rich, too often follows the pagan custom of leaving her children in the care of help. In both cases the children are neglected and the mother's influence over them is lost. What can be the influence of that home upon the child, who knows the father only as a money-making machine and the mother a3 the wman of fashion? "You are a Catholic.

Do you glory in the practice of your religion or only in the name? In the home your influence for good is great. Are you true to your church? Do you know your church and her doctrines so that you can explain them, that you can answer every objection made to them? Do you spend as much of your time as possible in your own home? Are you the friend and confidant of your children? If so you area true Catholic, and in you lie3 the making of the true Catholic home." At the conclusion of the service the greater part of the congregation made an inspection of the fine new school building recently completed on Mul berry street, opposite the Cathedral, which will be formally opened today. The school will be for girls and small boys, and will be under the direction of the Sisters of Notre Dame. SUBURBS Govanstown Methodist Church ImprovedThe Pastor of St. Francis's.

The Govanstown Methodist Episcopal Church, which had been closed five weeks for improvements, was reopened yesterday. The pastor, Rev. George V. Leech, preached in the morning and at night. The building has been repainted, remodeled and improved and looks like a new building.

The interior is unique and attractive. It has opera chairs, carpet of terra cotta shade and Rochester hanging lamps. The new pulpit and chancel furniture is not yet put in. The cost of tho improvements will aggregate about $000. The committee in charge of them includes the pastor, W.

F. Williams, J. M. Davis and Dr. E.

M. Duncan. John I. Anderson is chairman of the subscription committee. The pastor expects his congregation to in-creasa largely when the York road gets rapid transit.

He thinks the church building should be enlarged. It seats now about 200 persons. The Sunday-school, of which tho pastor is superintendent, also reopened yesterday. The joining the church, has been repainted. Rev.

M. O'Keefe. pastor of St. Francis's Catholic Church, Towson, iu his sermon yesterday morning spoke particularly to the children of the parish school. The school will open this week.

He said he had begun a work in the parish which he wished to complete. He intimated that the Cardinal had been desirous of transferring him to another parish, where there ia a largo, prosperous church, but that at the speaker's request the Cardinal had consented to let him remain where he is until ho concludes his work. Tho erection of a fine church edifice, it is said, is among the things contemplated by Father O'Keefe. A meeting was held in Armory nail. Tow-son, Saturday night, to organize a council of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics.

Many members of the order from Wood berry were present. They were accompanied by a fife-and-druni corps. John Baublitz made an address explanatory of the objects of the order. Several persons joined. Tho Home Permanent Mutual Land and Building Association of Baltimore County Kev.

Dr. David Iownie Tells What the Baptists Have Done There. The Kev. Dr. David Downie, who is a missionary in India, lectured at Franklin Square Baptist Church last night on "The Centenary of Missions." Dr.

Downie has been in India since 1872. He is from the Telugu mission at Mellon, Madras presidency. South India-He said in part: "It is just a hundred years since William Carey went out as a missionary to India, and although the Danes and Germans were in the field before Carey, it is generally, conceded that Carey was the father of modern missions. To celebrate this event the Baptists of England and America propose to raise this year in England 100,000, in the Northern States and in the Southern States. $350,000.

Besides this each of these sections of the Baptist Brotherhood propose to send out a hundred men to the foreign field." Dr. Downie reviewed the state of the church respecting the conditions of the heathen when Carey went out, showing how indifferent Christiaas were at that time. He also showed how the nations of the East were closed, both to commerce and Christianity. He said: "It was a dark period in the world's history. Carey's movement did more for India than the armies of England.

Rejected at first, -he became one of the foremost educators of India. He translated the Bible into a number of the languages of the East, including Sanskrit. He made it easy, not only for missionaries, but for merchants as well to live in India. If the commercial world only knew how much missions have done for commerce we should not have to be begging money to support them." Dr. Downie then contrasted that dark time with the present state of missions in all parts of the world, saying that no part of the church's work has been so successful as that of foreign missions.

He then gave a brief account of the "Lone Star Mission" to the Telugus. He referred to its origin in 1S36, its struggles for life during the fir3t thirty years of its history and of its unprecedented success since that time. He then spoke more in detail of his own experiences among the Telugus since 1873, and of his recent visit to Assam, China and Japan. The number of Christians in the Baptist Telugu mission is now over 50,000. There are fourteen stations, with numerous schooi3 for Christian boys and girls, a college and a theological seminary for the training of native assistants.

Dr. Greeory's Anniversary. The Rev. O. F.

Gregory, D. of Fourth Baptise Church, Broadway and Jefferson 6treets, yesterday morning preached his seventh anniversary sermon as pastor of the church. His theme was "Love and Service." In his review Dr. Gregory showed that in the past year he conducted 424 religious services and made 485 pastoral and religious visits. Owing to illness be was away from the pulpit six Sundays, which covered a longer absence than all combined absences during his service of twenty-one years as a minister.

Exclusive or the building fund or 825.000, which was expended for the chapel, were raised in the past year for current expenses. The Sunday-school roll shows 30 teachers and 310 scholars. More than 600 volumes are in the library. In the year 55 persons joined the church and 50 left. The congregation numbers 307.

Of these 158 joined the church during Mr. Gregory's pastorate. Dr. Gregory was born in Charleston, S. March 7, 1844.

He was educated at Charleston College. At the breaking out of the war be entered the Confederate service and remained in the Army of Northern Virginia until the close of the war. He then returned to hi3 home and pursued his studies under Dr. Winkler, with a view to entering the ministry. He was ordained at First Church at Charleston in January, 1871.

His first charge was a3 pastor of a church at Mount Pleasant. He has had charges at Euf aula, Alabama, and Tuscaloosa, and in New Orleans. Seven years ago he was called to High Street Baptist Church, which was sold a short time ago. The congregation then built the Fourth Baptist Church. Dr.

Gregory's degree was conferred several years ago by Howard College, Alabama, NEWS OF THE PORT. Arrival Here of the Steamship Maine Sailor Accidentally Drowned. The only steamship to arrive yesterday was the Maine, of the Atlantic Transport Line, from London, via Swansea, Capt. F. Tubb, commanding.

The voyage of the Maine to the Newfoundland Banks was uneventful with the exception of unfavorable weather. From the banks the weather was fine. The Maine was delayed fully twenty-four hours by being so unfortunate as to pas3 in the capes Friday night too late to be inspected by the quarantine officer. She had to lay at anchor until 6 A. M.

Saturday. She repeated the experience at the Baltimore quarantine, and had to lay at anchor until Sunday morning, when she was declared all right. August 26 the Maine passed a derelict vessel bottom up, at 3.30 P. in latitude 49.07 north, longitude S5.ll west. She was covered with barnacles, and bad apparently been in the water a long time.

A beautiful schooner for the Maryland oyster police force was launched at 5 P. M. Saturday from the yard of James Clark and was named the May Brown, in honor of the daughter of Governor Browa. Among those who glided into the water on her was Capt. Jeff.

The publication in The Sun of the results of the investigations made by reporters as te the condition of Baltimore's streets has aroused widespread interest, and numerous commendatory communications have been received with reference to the matter. The sanitary condition of the streets was shown without any attempt at coloring.

The statement was made that the city was fairly clean. Such is the 'case, but Baltimore is not in as good condition as it should be under the present circumstances. The streets mentioned in The Sun's article were, without exception, in bad conaition. Hundreds of other streets were not mentioned because they are clean. The object of the article was to, call the attention of the authorities and of the people to localities where a high sanitary standard is not maintained.

An average would, of course, show that the clean streets outnumber the dirty ones. The whole city should be made cleaner than it has ever been. According to Commissioner Smith he has yet $101,840 of the $294,276 appropriated for the street-cleaning department for 1892, and part of this money or the whole of it, if necessary, should be immediately expended. A number of communications received by The Sun call attention to places that need cleaning. One writer says: "Every street, alley and cellar should be cleaned and fumigated.

When that is done it will be early enough to commend the industry of those whose chief occupation seems to consist of efforts to discover the easiest and most economical methods for 'how not to do A. calls attention to the cable conduits of the City Passenger Railway, which he says are hot beds of disease germs. He says that in many level plaoes, notably near Lexington market and on Madison avenue, near Preston street, they are nearly full of decaying animal and vegetable matter and stagnant water. Among other places of which complaint has been made is Paca street from Baltimore street to Lexington. The alleys crossing Paca street between Baltimore and Fayette streets and those running north from Baltimore street between Eutaw and Paca and Paca and Greene are in a dirty condition, with a lot of stagn ant water.

The lots in the rear of the west side of Madison avenue, between North avenue and Druid Hill Park, need attention. They are overgrown with grass and weeds, aud after every raiu receive the drainage from Madison avenue. This water remains on the lot until it stagnates and eventually dries up. The drainage from the houses on Madison avenue flows down a gutter in a paved ten-foot alley in the rear of the houses until it reaches a point near North avenue. As there is uo outlet to the alley, tho water takes to the lot, ruuning in a narrow but filthy stream through a mass of weeds across a path and between some bouses until it reaches the corner of Druid Hill and North avenues.

"An Appropriate Prayer" was the subject of the Kev. Dr. A. J. Rowland's morning sermon at Franklin Square Baptist Church.

His text was from Psalms. 67, 1: "God be merciful unto us and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us." He said in part: "Prayer is at all times appropriate, but especially so at the beginning of things. John Quincy Adams, when President of the United St.ites,spent the first hour of each day in religious devotion. It would be wise to follow his example. Ail legislative bodies open their sessions with prayer.

So, generally, do political conventions and many other assemblies. Indeed, it would be a good rule never to enter any enterprise or experience which could not be begun with prayer. "It is appropriate and wise, therefore, that weTbegin our fail work with a prayer. And there is no inspired prayer which seems more suitable than that of the Psalmist. It is a very natural prayer, because it begins, as all men must begin, with a plea for mercy.

It is impossible fcr us to approach God without a confession of sin. Doubtless the best of people, as they lookback upon the sum-ner's experiences, and think of their indifference and neglect and follies, feel that no utterance so well expressed their sense of unworthiness. But the Psalmist does not Etop with simply mourning the past, and we Ehould not stop there. We should realize that nothing in this world amounts to anything without God's blessing, and we ought to plead, for that with all our hearts. As we look forward let us ask God to bless us, individually and collectively bless us at our homes and places of business, in the church and Sunday-school.

If we can secure His blessing we are sure of success; without it all our efforts are vain. "Nor should we be satisfiad with mere external blessings. The Psalmist asks that God will cause His face to shine upon him. This i3 the cry of a child for the father's presence and love. It is the profound desire of the human heart for divine communion the longing for clearer manifestations of the divine favor and approval.

It fills out the cesire of heart to the full. What we need to do. thert fore, at the beginning of the fall work, Is to make this prayer the sincere utterance of every souL If we can secure God's mercy in the forgiveness of all that is wrong, if He will bless us with His guidance and grace, if, as we look up, we can 6ee His face shining upon may be sure of the greatest jay and success."

M. Alien Tupper at Seventh Haptist Church. "The Jewels or the King" was the subject of Kev. Dr. H.

Allen Tupper's sermon at the Seventh Baptist Church yesterday morning. The text was: "They shad bo Mine, saitu the Lord of Hosts, in that day when I make up My jewels." iiL. 17. He said in part: "What gives birth to thi3 tender epithet? Can the pure and spotless love the polluted and sin-spotted? How can God, in His infinite, ineffable, uncreated glory look upon man as His loved possession. His precious jewel? This can only be possible when the soul of the creature reflects the beauties of the Creator; when the fallen deformed soul of man is lifted from the horl rible pit and miry clay, touched by a heavenly uence and transformed into a new and heavea-born image.

Upon the bouI of that Christian is photographed God's only begotten Son. As the eye of God rests upon the redeemed soul He sees the beauties of His Son's character impressed upon it, and in His oracles are found the divine declaration.
