B. Cannon, of The People, Milton, "How Can the League Best Assist the Pastor The principal address of the evening was delivered by Rev. William Nast Brodbeck, D. of Brooklioe, in auswer to the question, "Why I Am a Aletnodixt." He had come five hundred miles for this purpose and the subject bad been soleutod because it seemed to be appropriate for the time aud the occasion and is comprehensive. Epworth leaguers should be earnest, devoted aud consecrated Methodist Christians.

Methodist preachers in earlier days were supposed to be ever ready to tell their experience, to preach or to die; so should we be. lie had chosen the Methodist church became he loved its doctrines. Many porsons' lives are below their professed belief, but lew are above what they believe. We have the grandest system of dootrines in existence. Wesley and Whiiefield a good deal of time in trying to prove thai a man should be converted before being given permission to preach ttie gospel.

I his is needed in some sections vat. We neod tho witness of the infallible Ood. We may have it. Thirty-eight years ago the Spine of God bjre witness to his spirit that he was a child of Gotl aud an heir to heaven, and he had never doubted that since. The doctrine of the possibility of being delivered from the power of sin, ilo thanked God that he could teach men that Christ came into the world to destroy the works of the devil and not simply to curtail them.

These peculiar doctrines are liberal, and Methodism in her doctrines aud usages is the most liberal evangelical body in tiiu vvoriii. Site ii iai'gur litau tho single phase of any creed. Any evangelical pastor is welcomed to our pulpits, iie was glr.d that on Communion Sunday ho con id invito 1 God's people to tho holy table. It made him feel larger. Its doctrines are unchanging, having lasted a hundred jears without alteration, aud they will last for a thousand years to come.

These doctrines give a man a rich, joyous experience. The early Methodists shouted a good deal, but had something to shout about. Home object to our itinerant ministers, but outside of a few long pastorates we change pastors less frequently thau the so-called settled churches. Some thought our policy onght to be changed on the women question, and the doctor evidently thought so too. Ho liked Methodism because it was aggressive.

lie liked tbo features of the church which bound us together as a common brotherhood. "Such is Methodism. Give ms this grand old church in which I found the fear of God, and from which I expect to be transported to the joy of Ileaveu, and I plead with the thousands of Epworth leaguers of this eonferenceto be loyal to her doctrines and experience."

FULL rAK.TICUl.AK3 Of the Bicape of Puryear, and of Hli Capture aud Lynching itj the Mob. By United Press. Sthoudsbubg, Alarch 15. Richard Puryear, the murderer of Christian biers, near Tannersville, Alonroe county, escaped from the county prison in this place about 7 o'clook this morning, lie made his escape by sneaking behind Sheriff Kresge while that official was looking after some details of the prisoners' breakfast, and jumping through the corridor door, quickly bnlied it, securing the sheriff a prisoner. The negro then walked safely through the outer corridor as if he had been granted his pardon.

The sheriff's wife recognized him as he went by, aud realizing there had been some trouble in which the negro had perhaps worsted her husband, she rushed iuto the hall. She heard the sheriff call, aud hurrying to the door released him, but the murderer had gotten a good start and was out of sight. Puryear was also noticed taking bis leave by the Court House Janitor, William Van Guder, who came along in fro at of the prison at that time. Van Guder tried to capture him, but the negro was too fleet ot foot and got away. The janitor gave chase up Alonroe street until Puryear came to a vacant lot which he ciossed to Alain Btreet, down Alain street Puryear lied pursued by upward of a dozen men who bad joined Janitor, Van Guder.

As the negro neared 1'alirier slaughter house, Beniarniu Burns, another negro, saw the conoition of things and rushed at onoa through the mill race to the island belonging to Palmer. Seeing that Puryear was heading that way Burns ran across the island, reached the Pocono creek junction, almost at the same moment the escaping murderer did. Here Puryear wavered for a moment, and then plunged into the stream au gd warn across it. He was almost exhausted, but reached the opposite side sately and hid in some bushes. Here Burns captured him after some difficulty, and theoapturer being a large and powerful man compelled Pur year to wado back throng the oreek to the island.

The crowd of pursuers had now reached the island, almost exhausted from their run of over a mile. Some one cried out "lynch the nigger," and while a wordy warfare was going on between Constable Myers, who demanded the prisoner, and the crowd, a rope was secured from trie slaughter bouse and before the constable could realize eveuts it was around Pur-year's neck. Ho was rushed up against a white onk tree, the rope thrown over a limb about a dozen feet from the ground and a soore of hands gave willing tug to theline and the wretch, quicklyjerked off his feet, clutched at the tightening rope but unavaiiingly. The rope was made taut to another tree aud the murderer left hanging dead. The uews of the lynching spread rapidly, and soon the whole town was excited, workiugmen quitting their shops and goiug to the scene of the tragedy.

'i here was no attempt made by aiiy one to save the life of the negro, and his body was permitted to hang until almost 10 o'clock before the county commissioners took action. Then Dr. Shull pronounced Puryear dead and the body was removed to the jail. The rope was presented to the negro for his part in the capture of the murderer, and it was out in pieces by him and sold.
