A Model Large Church. “These are cold facts; but cold facts often represent warm work, and lots of it is done in the First Church, and I wish to speak of it as not in any manner detracting from the good work of the other churches of our conference, but as a model large church | large in numbers, but being so completely officered, not unwieldy: its membership in- tensely loyal to its pastor and assistant pastor; its many societies working energeti- | cally on their own lines, yet fully in touch, | and all closely united and working together | as one great whole. With many others I | have been of the opinion that when city churches become large and strong they should swarm and send out some of their best material to lay the foundation for Christian work in other sections, and this may be the proper thing generally, but I confess to a radical change of opinion on this point In case of the First Chur: this is our church of the capital of our country; the mecca of visiting Congregationalists from all over the land; the representative of the many struggles, the efforts, the life, the suecess of Congregationalism in the city of Washington. Then let it stand for what it | is—a great, strong, representative church full of good works. I am proud of it; proud of being of {ts first membership; proud of having a humble share in {ts early strug- gles and later successes; proud of its being the mother of all cur churches of this vicin. ity, and never so proud of being a Congre- gationalist as when worshiping in its ¢ auditorium with so | about me.

The meetings have been of interest, and have resulted in about fifty conversions. Ten of these, thus far only, have united with the church. Most of the converts be- ing of the families of other churches, will, haturaily, go elsewhere. The pastor and Mr. Wharton have also conducted meetings at Howard University with success, every evening witnessing a conversion. Active Working Churches. “Lincoln Memorial Church has found a worthy successor to Rey. D. W. Moore in the person of the present pastor, Rev. Mr. Jchnson, and under his care the church in all its connections never was more pros- perous. The church building is in gcod re- peir, the main audience room esfecially be- irg convenient, well appointed and attrac- Uve, and the other rooms comfortable and well adapted to their uses. The prayer meetings heave been weil attended, and much religious interest has been manifest- jed. The attendance on the preaching sery- ices has been constantly growing, and there has not been a month since Mr. Johnson ccmmenced his work that one or more sculs have not been led to confess Christ, and he reports precious personal expe! erces in leading many of his flock into the Christian life. The Sunday school has im- proved in efficiency, and its average at- tendance has steadily increased. ‘The temperance and missionary socleties Rev. J. |@nd the senior and Junior Endeavorers have Hi.

The sinsing of the Endeavor Society of this church is remarkable for zeal and talent. “The Fifth Congregational Church, al- though without a settled pastor since the resignation of Rev. B. M. Seymour, has maintained regular Sunday services and full work along its regular lines. The pres- ent membership is seventy-nine. During the past year about $2,300 has been raised Of this amount $861 was and to the building society. Three hundred and fifty dollars went fer benevolences, and the balance to the pastor's salary and other expenses. The Senior and Junior Christian Endeavor Societies number about 165; offi- cers, teachers and puptls enrolled in. the Sunday «school, 248; average attendance, 1.5; additions to the school during the year, contributions, $154.96. The church, through Deacon Jennings, requests the prayers of the conference that the great head of the church will speedily send them a strong consecrated man as a pastor. “The Tabernacle deserves a good account. It can be truthfully sald that the Taber- nacle is in a better condition and more hopeful state than at any time since it came into existence as a Congregational church. The present pastorate, of some- | thing over three years, has been longer than any in its history, and during this {time some sixty members have been dis- missed, leaving but thirteen on the rolls who were there when Mr. Jones took charge, and over sixty have been added. |The result of these changes is the re- | moval of the disturbing elements and the ng of all differences, so the present membership of some seventy-five consti- | tutes a thoroughly united band of working | Christians, loyal to their church and pas- During the past year from some sixty pended, which, no doubt, represents sacri- fice in sustaining the work of the church. | That the field is a hard one, and the work | carried on under many disadvantages, there |can be no question, and tne measure of | success so far is largely due to the sticking qualities of pastor and pevple in the face of discouragement.

John’s idea of a de- tective's “all-seeing”’ and “only-secing” eye was of no avail in this case, for both Mrs. Lease and her sister saw him almost as soon as he saw them. When the corner of 14th and Corcoran streets was reached Mrs. Lease and her sister stopped, and there was nothing for the private detective to do but to proceed along the sidewalk. He had not proceeded far, however, when he learned to his sor- row that Mrs. McGill was a self-appointed fficer of the law and he was her prisoner. Right that he had been acting as a spy and told him he need not deny it for she had wit- nesses to prove the truth of her accusation. And the poor detective, nearly frightened to death, did not deny ft, although he de- clined to state the name of his employer. He was escorted to the lady’s house and there detained until the arrival of Police- man Thompson. Then he was escorted to the eighth precinct station, where he was given an iron bed on which to sleep and some Potomac water to drink. Felt Hungry This Morning. When he arrived at the Police Court this morning he complained that he was hungry and his experience, he said, had taught him that he had better return to the painting business at which he had worked. Judge Kimball he was arraigned on a charge of being a suspicious person, with- mony of the prosecuting witnesses was enough to convince the court of the guilt of the prisoner, and Propst, who had figured as “Old Sleuth,” was called upon for an explanation. He admitted the facts stated, but declined to tell who had employed him until ordered to do so by the co and then it that he gave the name of Charles Lease. Judge Kimball informed the young man that he had better engage in some other business if he wanted to enjoy his liber and sentenced him to give real estate se- curity in the sum of or go down for sixty days.

We can’t get all these things now, but we can show that the association has’ the spirit to do the best it can under the circumstances. | We do not aim to turn out a company of | professional foot ball or base ball players, but to produce athletic men and women.

The Traveller recounted, a few days ago, how it had lost four of the leading papers of Chicago, two of which had been its bul- Wark of strength in the west. Since then it has lost the Cincinnati Commercial and Cincinnati Enquirer, the two leading news- Papers of Ohio, and now the Louisville Courier Journal, which next to the Chicago | Herald was its greatest strength in the Mississippi valley, has deserted the sinking ship, and it, too, has joined the Associated Press.

Within the past week four New England Speeches Made in the Senate During Its Executive Session. Mr. Hill Seconds the Nomination and Refers to the Unfortunate Contest— Chief Justice Fuller Pleased. In the executive session of the Senate yesterday afternoon, at which the nomina- tion of Senator White to be justice of the Supreme Court was confirmed, as stated in The Star, there was a succession of eulo- gistic speeches. Senator Caffrey gave an interesting sketch of Senator White's life, and spoke in the highest terms of the nominee; Senator Pugh told how much it pleased him to see Senator White's name sent in, and Senator Teller varied the com- plimentary strain by adding that he was glad that the Senate had shown the Presi- dent its independence by rejecting the two previous nominations, and had also demon- strated that the Senators had their opin- ions, honestly entertained and as honestly expressed. Mr. Hill's Remarks. Senator Hill said: “I rise for the purpose of secouding the motion of the distinguish- ed chairman of the judiciary committee. Representing, as I do, in part, the circuit in which the vacancy exists, caused by the death of the iate lamented Judge Blatch- ford, and to fill which the nomination just reported has been presented to this body for its consideration, a few suggestions on | my part at this time may not be inappro- priate. Permit me to remark at the out- set that this nomination, from a personal point of view, ts entirely unobjectionable. The nominee is able, experienced, and satisfactory. He ts personally offensive to no one. He has not been involved in any fac- tional dissensions and he possesses the con- fidence of the democratic party of his state, to which he is proud to belong. He has not antagonized any regular democratic or- | Senization, and every Senator around this circle knows and respects him. He {s not without judicial experience, having, for two years, creditably served upon the bench of | the supreme court of Louisiana, and his se- lection will prove acceptable to the bar of the United States and to the people. “While it is true that Judge White's se- lection is most admirable and one in which 1 most cheerfully acquiesce, It 1s, perhaps, equally true that the people of New York, {in their local pride, will regret that the | President did not see fit to make a satis- | —e+—_____ Mrs. C.

These contests have passed into history—there let them be judged. TI believe that the state of New York was entitled to the judgeship, and had the Senators from that state been consulted, as they properly should have been and as courtesy and usage required, a satisfactory selection from the numerous eminent members of the bar of my state could have easily been made. You | well know that the Senators from New York had no candidates of their own. Their ac- tion was not influenced by disappointment. They pressed no favorites of theirs upon the attention of the appointing power, but what- ever action they took was impelled by their self-respect, and their loyalty to the People’s interest which they represented, and to the regular democratic organization to which they belonged. “The President in the exercise of the sole discretion which the Constitution vests in him has seen fit to go outside of New York and outside of the circuit where the vacancy occurred, and has honored the Senate by the appointment of one of its distinguished members from the far distant state of Loui- consider alana.
