When the prayer was con- cluded and Dr. Toda had rend the twenty-third Pealm the laymen took possession of the meet- ing, first listening to a choir-rendered hymn which was sufficiently ancient as to melody to puzzle oven the oldest inhabitant. First of the invited ones to address the con- gregation was W. R. Woodward of Wesley Chapel. In a most pleasing way he talked of those great and good Methodist men and women whom he hed known in_ his early life; some of the makers of Methodist history. He gave some good advice, based on personal ex- perience, to both parents and children; got thoroughly and Methodistically warmed up, and in so doing warmed up the congregation to many amens and innumerable puactuating hallelajabs. “We have some with us tonight.” remarked Dr. Todd, “who bave the gift of song. Per- haps they did their best singing thirty or forty or fifty years ago. It may be that their voices are not 80 good as they once were, but I know we shall be pleased to hear them sing some of the old songs. Brother Langley will sing for us.” And Brother Langley adjusted tacles, opened an elderly hymn book and an equally aged mouth and sang very sweetly a 4 BROTHER CHRISTY SAYS SOMETHING. selection which awoke long-slumbering memo- ries in many hearts. “Brother Ashley of Union" was the next to be introduced. He spoke with great vigor, be- ing one of those decidedly young old men. His remarks were highly appreciated and his remi- niscences interested every hearer. REMINISCENT TALK. Two verses of “Shall We Gather at the River?” were sung by the. congregation, and then “Brother Simpson of Foundry” was called tothe front. Mr. Simpson spoke in a char- acteristically nervous and rapid manner. He was ina thankful mood for a while, and then he, too, became reminiscent. Old preachers, old sermons, old Foundry, old camp meetings and old class meetings received their due share of attention. “I'm the Child of a King,” sang Brother Henry Wilson of Dumbarton Avenue Church, and at his request thy congregation joined in the refrain. Mr. Wilson's method was good as ever, but the same old Father Time who had whitened Mr. Wilson's hair had inserted an in- voluntary tremolo in thet voice which so many thousands have gladly listened to. aud which, ighted last night's In his sympa y forcible way he talked to what he termed “The greatassemblage of Lattle-searred vetcrans— followers of the banuer of the cross.” Pastor Todd then called upon Dr. Anton P. Coe, who had designed the decorations, to make plain his work. Very briefly but clearly was the scheme explained; the congregation rang “There is a Laud of Pare Delight” to the tune of “Auld Lang Syne,” the venerable Mr. Clem ronounced the benediction and the first “Old eople’s day” was practically over. Congratulations poured in on Mrs, Todd, the AND MR.

The Pastor of Israel C.M.E. Church Leaves After Four Years’ Service. Yesterday was a sort of jubilee with the mem- bers of the congregation of the Isracl Metro- politan ©. M.E. Church, although their joy over the prosperity of the church on its seventy-first birthday was somewhat saddened by the fact that the term of their pastor, Rev. Dr. Charles H. Phillipe had expired. Dr. Phillips preached his farewell wormon last oven- ing, but in the morning he delivered a dis- course appropriate to the anniversary occa- sion. In the afternoon a pruisoand experience meeting was hejd, when the oider members gave interesting reminiseences of the early days of the church. The pastor, Dr. Phillips, ard his wife received a number of substantial testimonials from the members. Besides his salary in full Dr. Phillips received agold watch and chain and charm, a suit of ciothes, overcoat, shoes, hat, underwenr and a purse of $60. A fine dross pattern, some silver Ware and a purse of $18 were presented to Mrs. Phillipe: he church was crowded all day and at night there was uot standing room. When Dr. Phillips took charge of the church it had a debt of $15,400, on which there was an interest charge of 7 per cent per annum. This debt has been reduced by his efforts to 10,000, the terest being reduced to 6 per cent. | During ininistry 200 members have’ beeu addled to the church. Dr. Phillips will leave ‘Tues: for Petersburg to attend conference. He will return here November 1 and leave for his new appoiutment Thursday, November 5. —_——_—— The ¥. M. C. A. Literary Society. The audience that es-embled Saturday even- g was another evidence of the guining favor of the Y. M. C. A. Literary Society. The ques- tion: “Resolved, that the union of Ireland und England bas been detrimental to the progress and welfare of the Irish people,” was led in the afirmative by Mr. Bray and by Mr. Arnel for the negative. ‘The affirmative was sustuined from the house by Messrs. Cobleigh, ‘Tits, Freeman, Wolverton, DeKmght and Downing aud the negative by’ Messrs. Spangier, Neagle i Paul. The decision way a tie vote. Next Saturday ovening the topic: “Kesolved, that originality of thought is necessarily lessened as the world grows older.” will be argued in the affirmative by Mr. Cobleigh and opposed by Mr. Downing. The oration will be delivered by Mr. Arnell. eae Mise Marie Deceu’s Success.

G. A. KR. Posts Considering Railroad Rates and Other Matters. ‘The date of the national encampment of the G. A. R. will be fixed, it is expected, at » meet- ing of the executive committee of the council oe to be held in this city Novem- lL. In & recent general order Commander-in- Chief Palmer promulgated » number of the ‘acts of the national encampment. The first seven sections, haying a bearing on the coming encampment, aro as follows: 1. Future encampments shall not be held earlier than tho 20th day of August. 2. Hereafter the line of march of the parade at national encampments shall not exceed a distance of more than two miles; all counter- marching to be included in this distance. 8. Speeches placing comrades in nomination for any office shall be limited to ten minutes, and hes seconding such nominations shall be limited to one minute cach. (Rules and regulations, page 37, section 12. 4. ‘Tho twenty-sixth national encampment shall be held in the city of Washington, in the District of Columbia, §. Authority was conferred on the national council of administration to change the loca- tion of the national encampment whenever in their opinion the railroads or the hotels of the city where the encampment has been located fail to grant ouch rates as are fair and ressonn- ble for the transportation and entertainment of the comrades of the Grand Army of the Re- public: provided that notice of such change be igated in gencral orders at least ninety lays before the date of the convening of the encampmen:. 6. The national council of administration or its executive commitiee was instructed to finally conclude the arrangements for holding the twenty-sixth national encampment with no city without first securing an authoritative and binding assurance that suitable rooms wilj be furnished for the national headquarters, the headquarters of cach department and of the Woman's Relief Corps, and also that the kotels and boarding houses at the proposed location shall not only ask no more than their regular prices for entertainment, but especially that they shall not require the payment ora con- tract for the payment for any stated time for more guests than are actunlly present either as a condition of securing quarters in advance or otherwise. 7. Congress to be requested to so amend the interstate commerce law as to_give transporta- tion companies authority to fix such reduced rates of transportation as shall be just to ex- Union soldiers and sailors of '61 to '65 in going toand returning from encampments and re- unions, and that the rates thus cstablished shail include the families of such soldiers and sailors, the widows and children of those deceased and members of the Woman's Relief Corps and kin- dred otganizations, under such regulations as shall be cstablished by the interstate commerce commission. ‘he commander-in-chief to fur- nish to each Senator and representative in Congress a copy of these resolutions and to resent thesame to the proper committees of ongress. The interest among New Engiand G.AR. men in the coming encampment is evidencéd by an editorial im the Boston Grand Army Record advising Grand Army posts not to close contracts for passenger service to Washington for along time yet. “But you cannot be too early,” the Zecord says, “about making your complete arrangements about your Washington narters. Much might be said on that point. ‘The writer isan old Washingtonian and well knows that the mild and beautiful September weather there makes it possible to be abso- lutely comfortable on a cot bed in any ordinary tent. Every old soldier knows that fact. Nodoubt vessels will be chartered to leave the Maine and Massachusetts cousts for Norfolk—then up the Potomac to Washington. The writer will never forget the days he hi spent on the Potomac with his two or three tle children—delightful days—with the refresl ing southern breezes up the river. This water route is worth cousidering. Besides the boats could lodge their passengers when Washington was reached. ‘On to Washington, but ‘nasten slowly.’ ‘Tue Brooklyn Eagle says: Two hundred mem- bers uf Keno Post. No. 41, will attend the na- tional encampment in Washington. W.S. Han- cock, Gilsa, Noah L. Farnham and E. A. Kim- ball ‘posts have also decided to be present on the occasion. James C. Rice Post, No. 29, will go to Washington to attend the encampment of the G. A. R. in that city. ‘The veterans will also visit Chancellorsville and Fredericksburg and other points of interest. Se SSS The N. W. U. Temperance Association. The mecting of N. W. U. Association in Cla- baugh Hall yesterday afternoon under the direct management of Monumental Lodge of Good Templars, Chief Templar C. A. Borden presiding, was largely attended. After devo- tional exercises, led by Miss Jennie Watts, and a song service with Mr. Robt. Whaley cornetist, a Bible readipg followed by a brief opening appeal to the young people present was given y Mr. Rerden. An address in which the defi- nition of temperance and the character of a true temperance reformer were clearly set forth was made by Mr. Henry Hawxbur an original paper showing the necessi clearly defined purpose in life and a determi- nation toavail one’s seli of every possible'aid to the development of Christian character was read by Mr. H. V. Easterling. Vocal solos were rendered by Mrs. Beaton and Mr.Whaley. The addresses Were interspersed with congrega- tional singing and at the close the benediction was pronounced by Pest Grand Chaplain Blackford. Invincible Council of the Sons of The Greeks, in knowledge of medicine, were superior to all the nations who had preceded them with regard to natural mineral waters. They held them: as a special gift of the Deity, and dedicated them to Her the god of strength and power, believing waters th. reserve utrength and ke teed them for drinking and ing, and as medicinal agents for the cure of diseases. The most eminent Roman ph; in the fifth century recommended the of pure water in the treatment of diseases, es- pedially those of the stomach. kidneys, liver Bia nen it Celie!

From that date to the resent time wators have been constant] ought to the attention of cheinists for analy- sis in order to obtain their value for the prevention and cure of discases. The medical fraternity of the old and the new worlds are today rapidly advancing in the idea of the importance of pure waters as one of the most effective medicinal agents to re- store health. Tho viow generally received by most persons is that water taken into the stomach with moaly dilutey the gastric juice and retards digestion. It is also claimed by the highest medica: experts in the use of water 4s ahyxienic remedy that pure water ! taken moderately does good when taken with weals. It washes out the digested portions of food and exposes the undigested part more [fully to the digestive ferments. Another bene- | figial result from pure water when drunk be- |fore meals is that it washes away the mucous | which has been secreted by the mucous mem- | branes of the stomach during the intervals of sleep. and favors peristalic action of the whole alimentary canal. The lining membranes of the throat and stomach thus cleansed are in much better conditign to receive food and convert it into soluble compounds for digestion and nutrition. The accumulation of acrid mucous in the stomach is very deleterious to heaith and forms the basis of many disc A leading physician of Vicnna says: ‘The vicid contents of the stomach which have col: lected during the night should be cleansed in the morning before taking food by drinks of pure cold or hot water. It washes out the mucous and_prepares that organ for the morn- ing meal. Many cases of dyspepsia, catarrh and ulceration of the stomach can be prevented by the use of pure water in the morning and through the day.” An emincnt scientist says that mineral waters are often dcletcrious when improperly used to excess, but on the other hand pure water is always beneficial and inno- cent in its action, We have the testimony of the ablest practitioners and observers as to the beneficial results of proper diet, fresh air and pure water upon the buman system. One of the ablest medical authors in the world says: “Itis | to be regretted that physicians donotgive to the pure water treatment that attention which its great value as@ medicinal remedy deserves. Let me impress deeply upon you,” he said, “this method of furthering a ‘natural tre ment of diseases, which 60 powerfully coi tributes to rebuilding the organizm and to the success of the recovery of the patient.” He contends thut no case of chronic disease should be regarded as hopeless until « cautious, in- telligent and judicious course of treatment has been fairly tried with pure water. Mostmarked results in thousands of cases have been ob- tained by this treatment in chronic discases. Dr. R. E. Rogers, lato professor of chemistry in the University of Pennsylvania, said, lecture before the medical class of that institu- tion, that pure watcr was the fountain of health for the huinan family. First, it means bealth; secondly, it restores health.’ It cleanses the jomach, which is the laboratory of the system nd prepares it to receive the food for proper digestion and nourishment of the systen Vol: umes of medical testimony can be produced to show the important and close relations that ure water bears toward prolonging human life. We have evidences of living witnesses who have been restored from the inval couch to vigorous health by the use of pure water. Within a few iniles of the city of Washington there ure springs of this.class, ranning foun- tains of health which chemical analysis shows tobe pure. Some marvelous cures of chronic maludies have besn made by the use of the water from the Takoma Springs. This water gushes ont of the earth through a bed of pure white sand and gravel, limpid and pure as crystal. ‘Thess waters are becoming largely tused by many people of this and other cities Dr. Partlett, a distinguished physician of Europe. who has made a study of climate and its intluences upon health and the uses of pure water ata merical agent, visited these springs whilo here and drank of the water. He was much impressed with their purity and will nuke a thorough test as to their medi- some time in the future. He thinks the water will be most excellent as a pure drink for the table aud a valuable medical remedy. ‘The American Medical Association at its ses- sion in this city Inst May discussed the question of pure di Water. It wasclaimed by many of the ablest members of that body that nine-tenths of the diseases contracted were due to the use of impure drinking water.
