Though not a very largely-attend? ed meeting, it was an earnest one. This modest has no officers except the manager, no fees, and only ono meeting a year. It ha? been In opera? tion since and has given 1,888 new garments to the poor in that time. On tho rolls are names. Last year only 111 members redeemed their pledgo to send in two new garments for the poor.

This comparatively small number of workers sent in 388 garments, which Wart distributed among the needy. It is earnestly hoped that In the fiscal year of 1887-'98 the work will be more effective. Any one willing to contribute two new garments or pieces of bed linen will be. gladly enrolled as of the Virginia Needle-Work Guild. Gen? tlemen are, also gladly welcomed as mem? bers.

They can easily depute some lady friend to parchase the clothing nnd Sad in their name. All names of mem? bers and all clothing given must be sent to Mrs. G. W. No.

In Ever. Way It Would He Advanta geoni to All Concerned for l'a to Do la MO Dllllciiltles In the Way. WASHINGTON', November Morgan, of Alabama, member of the Com? mittee on Foreign Relations, has reached her? on his return from Honolulu, where he went to post himself on the annexation question. For the first submit? ted himself to-day to an interview on the result of his trip, and said: "My conclusions, based on my observa? tions, are only a full confirmation of what I bad previously It is our national duty, and will be In every way advantageous to all concerned, to annex Hawaii to this country. I havo stu-ied the question from tho most au? thentic and reliable sources.

The estab? lishment of an outpost of the United States within the tropics, and 2,200 miles from our coast, challenges the whether such action Is mJfcessary to our national welfare. Our northwestern pos? sessions on the Pacific, along the Aleu? tian archipelago, are over miles west of Honolulu. This gives us control of practically the entire American coast cf Pacific. "The Intervention of the British pos? sessions from the Straits of Fuca to the northern boundary of Alaska a powerful reason for our occupation of Hawaii. Without imputing to Great Bri? tain any other motive than to extend her national policy of commercial conquest, it seems very obvious that If she should acquire Hawaii and open and fortify Pearl Harbor, her military fortress at Esqutmault, on the Island of Vancouver, co-operating, would cut our coast line It two and would leave us Incumbered with a mass of territory In Alaska, whose de? fence would be almost Impossible, and the enormous advantage of which would be lost to us.

The Vancouver coal-field? would give the British navy almost irre? sistible advantage In war, and virtual dominion over commerce In time of peace. Beginning with Key West, we have annexed the entire Gulf roast to the Rio Grande, by purchase of territory, and extending up the Rio Grande across the ContineiAto the Pacific, we have annexed all the territory lying to tho north of that line, and have annexed the entire Pacific coast, except tho frontage of 300 miles, conceded to Great Britain. This rapid and vast expansion has contributed much to civilization, and In none of transactions have we cause for regret. I have no fears in such expansion, especi? ally as to possessions in the Pacific, and In those islands that constitute a part of the geographical and commercial sys? tem of the North American Continent. There would not be the slightest difficulty In the character, condition, or wishes of the 11.000 native, people of Hawaii.

They are far better adapted to American citizenship than many millions of those whom we have welcomed here from Southern Europe, and better adapted than the Indians, Mexicans, and native Alas? "Except among the few who expect per? sonal favor? and advancement from a re establlshment of the royal government, the general body of the Hawaiian peo? ple will rejoice In the honor, safety, peace, and prosperity which annexation will bring. Morally and practically, the Invasion of Hawaii from the Orient (the Japanese) violates all the declared poli? cies and often expressed purpose of the United State? to protect those people against foreign Interference.

Sweeny, de? liver, at s-vnth-Street Christian church last mght, was a continuation of tho one preached the night before upon the subject, "The Power of the Gospel." After giving a short resume of his first discourse and declaring that the Gospel civilizes our governments, harmonizes our differences, and save? our souls, he pre? sented a strong argument, abounding in fae'is from references to nls tory, and current events Of life, showing its mighty influence upon the intelligences th? hum race, directing them higher and nobler attainments, and Us effects upon the domestic circle, making It a bulwark for purity, virtue, and holy affection. He declared that learning In the o'den times was used to suppress the common people, now to elevate them. The ttrst colleges for free education, were founded by musicians. The grandest paintings illustrate Christian scenes. A Christian man founded the public-school system.

Referring to the census report, he showed that one out of a thousand preachers is found guilty of Immorality or crime, and that preachers' children are the most correct and upright. Jesus Christ is now the administrator of men's Is the Barthrtidl Statue of He pleaded eorneiuly for Christian un'on, and concluded with a most forcible argument that the Gospel Is absolutely only power that saves men's souls.
