Mrs. Mary Scott Badley, for nineteen years a mission- ary at Luckndw, India, told of the tenets of the falth of the Hindoos, which 1s against the indulgence in strong drink, and added that the intelligent heathen have joined in an earnest effort to secure total abstinence among all classes. Miss Belle Kearney, a national temperance organizer, delivered ‘an address on “What Young Women Have Done for Temperance.” The greater por- tion of the audience moved forward to the platform at the close of Miss Kearney’s ad- s to thank the speaker for her words. prise eee Disorderly Boys.

THE YOUNG MEN A Theme of the Sermons in Many of the City Churches. The Opening Day of the Week of Prayer for Young Men—The Association Here. Yesterday was the beginning of the week of prayer for young men, and the day was enerally observed by the pastors of the various city churches, who delivered ser- mons appropriate to the occasion. In most cases special reference was made to the work of the Y. M. C. A. in this city, and contributions were asked to aid in wiping cut the remainder of the indebtedness of the association. At the Metropolitan Fres- byterian Church, Rev. Dr. Luccock, the pastor, spoke of the need of the aid of young men in various enterprises in Christian work. He said that he liked the Y. M. C. A. for its attitude to the church, Christ, he said, is the corner stone of the church, and the inspiration which He gave to His fol- lowers was that the glory of service and the heroism of faith is to lay down even life itself for the perishing. At the Kellar Memorial Lutheran Church, Maryland avenue and 9th street northeast, the pastor, Rev. C. H. Butler, spoke in the interest of young men, taking as his theme David's period of preparation for nis work. He laid emphasis on the importance of a right beginning. He sald young men ought not to be content with a passive op- position to evil. He spoke of the conditions of growth, and sald that the temptations of the world should not be allowed to crush out the divine life. Manliness and virtue, said the preacher, mean the same thing. Manliness recognizes the divine image. It recognizes the man in Christ and his life as the truest standard. He spoke of the aid which the Y. M. C. A. afforded young men in hving a right life. Rey. S. M. Hartsock, D. D., pastor of the Ryland M. E. Church, spoke, In the course of his sermon, of the work accomplished by the Y. M. C. A., giving the statistics which shows the extent and power of this asso- ciation. He ‘aid special emphasis upon the intiuence for good n this association exerted upon young men; he spoke of its unsectarian character, and said its sole aim was to secure the welfare of young men. He spoke of the balance of the debt which remained on the association, and called the attention of the congregation to the envel- opes which were provided for subscription. At McKendree M. hureh the pastor, tev. Dr. Widerman, tn the course of his sermon spoke of the sympathy which every one should have for young men who start in a new life. They need help and en- couragement. He said that with this class the litle indulgences are the things that sap the soul. Rev. M. F. B. Rice, the pastor of the Fourth Street M. E. Church, spoke from the text, Wherewithal’ shall a young man cleanse his ways. He spoke of the tempta- tions which spring up in the pathway of the young, and said that the young men should be afraid of the beginnings of evil. He laid emphasis on the importance of begin- ning lite aright, and quoted some examples of bright prospects darkened by a mistake in this direction. He referred to the dan- gers arising from imdolenze and from in. temperance and other evils. He laid stress on the value of a clean life. He said that every pure life has been built upon the study of the Bible and faith in its divine authority. He spcke of the obligation of all to promote th? safety of young men. This was espectilly the duty of the churca and extends to the support of all indutu- tions which alm to secure this end. He made special reference to the Y. M. C. A. in this direction, and spoke of its valuable work in this community. At the Union M. B. Church, the pastor, Rev. Joel Brown, gave special importance to individual effort in the work for young men. He said that the work for the salva- tion of young men should be begun early. In this country there were great oppor- tunities open to deserving merit, and the position which the boy may occupy as a man gives further importance to guarding carefully their training. He spoke especiai- ly of the duties of parents, Sunday school teachers, pastors, the church at large and the Y. M. C. A. The safety of our ycung men was the theme of a sermon ut the Ninth StreetChris- tian Church last evering by the pastor, Rev. E. D. Bagby. He said that he thougnt it Was an erroneous idea that the sins of young men should be excised upon the theory that the boys were having a good time, and that they ought to be allowed to sow their wild oats. He said trat this was the suggestion of the devil. The young man who is scber, honest and industrious is the one who will make a good citizen. ‘The young man who is fdle, wayward and dissolute is the one who will add a recruit to the criminal class. ‘he safety of our na- tion, he said, depends tpon the safety of the young men. The preacher said that the young should be taugit the splendid possibilities that lay before them. He spoke of the temptations of city lite. He asked what was the church doing to coun- terect these evil influences. Tne import- ance of getiing young men into good as- sociation was spoken of, and of stimulat- ing his ambition and bringing him under the influence of the gospel of Christ. Mr. Bagby warmly commended the work of the ¥.M.C. A. The pastor of Gunton Temple Memorial Church, Rev. Dr. G. D. Patch, spoke of the relations of the church to young men, and of the support which Christian peo- ple should give to an institution like the Y. M. C. A. He said that the young men were coming up to take the places of older men. The work of the Y. M. C. A. he coim- pared to the key log of a boom, which ar- rests the downward course of thousands of log: Rev. A. F. Anderson, pastor of the Grace Baptist Church, sald that the pains and trials of the world are but the birth throes of a new life to those who are on the side of Christ. Christ 1s the lightning from heaven which kindles the smoldering em- bers of men’s aspirations and hopes. The new pastor of the Mt. Pleasant Con- gregational Church, Rev. M. Ross Fish- burn, preached from the text found in Genesis, 41st chapter #nd Sth verse: “Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God 1s?” Mr. Fishburn’s discouree dealt with dit- ferent classes of wen which one meets in daily walks of life. He made plain the distinction between the good and the “goody” man. He said that there were in the world, in addition » “In whom the Spirit of man, the strictly right- who never made any mistakes, ‘good fellow. ‘The need of the age was for manly Chris- tian men, and it s by manly Christian- ity and not weak alism that the world was to be won for Chris He called attention to the fact that the Young Men's Christian Association was an exemplificaticn of a practical application of this manly Christianity, and was an in- stitution worthy of the co-operation and support of every Christian of whatever de- nomination eous m: and the In his morning service yesterday the pas- tor of the Metropolitan M. E. Church, Dr. Johnston, dwelt at length upon the influence of Christianity upon individuals and upon the nation. The Gospel, he sald, was two- fold—individual and universal, personal and The individual but leads up to so- The word {s changed by changing the units. Christianity is organized for the destruction of evil and the establishment of all that is noblest and best. In his dis- course Dr. Johnston took up the matter of the overthrow of Tammany influence in New York and the good work done by Dr, Parkhurst in purifying the city. ——_—_ A Debate on the Theater. At the debate of the Y. M. C. A. Literary Society Saturday evening the question for discussion was: “Resolved, That the pa- tronage of our theaters by church people would be for the best interests of the public.” Judge George L. Beeler was chosen to decide it upon the merits of the argu- ments. His decision was in the negative. Among the speakers on the affirmative side of the question were Prof. N. W. Barksdale, W. P. Freeman, E. C. De Knight, George Drew, M. V. Watson and Mr. Nesbitt, while the opposite side was taken by E. W. Critterden, F. C. Bubener, Judge Williams, Irving Campbell, L. C. Williamson, Col. Bray "and President Weston. It was a lively argument, but, in the opinion of the judge, the men who argued against the theaters got the better of it. —_ Good things to sample and carry home at the Pure Food Show tonight.—Advt. DR. BARTLETI’S FAREWELL. An Affecting Sermon to His Old Con- gregation. Rev. Dr. William A. Bartlett, the retiring pastor of the New York Avenue Presbyte- rian Church, delivered hi3 farewell sermon yesterday morning before a congregation that filled the big edifice to its fullest ca pacity. It was a memorable occasion, and one that was fraught with the deepest sor- tow and regret to the members of this prosperous church. Dr. Bartlett's sermon ‘was extemporaneous, and was partly theo- logicai and partly personal. He spoke at length of his theological convictions at the close of his experience of thirty-seven years as a preacher in the Presbyterian Church, and referred with great intensity of feeling to the ties which he had formed during his twelv+ years’ residence in this city. In the course of his sermon Dr. Bartlett touched briefly upon a number of salient points in his connection with the New York Avenue Presbyterian Chureh, and also spoke of his own life and religicus experiences. In conclusion, Dr. Bartlett said that the things of the Kingdom of God were never so great as today—never so much conse- crated money, so many wide open doors, such majestic results. Never were Chris- tian workers so fervidly enthusiastic, never were the bugle calls so inspiring as today. He had worn out, he said, ten thousand fads and hobbies, and nad come back to where he had started as a boy, to preach simple Christianity. “The treasure that I shall take away,” he added hat which I shall prize the most; that which will give me the largest amount of happiness, is that God has permitted me to work so many years In His vineyard. “But, belovtd,” concluded Dr. Bartlett, his voice becoming grave and choked, am not going to say any formal farewell. In this kingdom they never say good night, but good morning; they never say goodbye, but all hail! I summon you now to stand with me tn the presence of Almighty God, and in the blessed experiences of His love in our hearts through Jesus Christ. Those who stand here can never be separated. Death is not the end of hfe; tt Is the beginning of eternity. ‘For your heart shall live for- ever.’ Amen.” Next Thursday evening the members of the New York Avenue congregation will meet to discuss the question of securing a successor to Dr. Burtlett. Next Sunday morning the pulpit of the church will be filled by Kev. br. Patton, the president of Princeton University, who is regarded ene of the most scholarly preachers in « ecuntry. —_——_——_ A LABORER SHOT. Two Stntements as to How the Diffi- culty Originate: A colored laborer named Robert Smith, about twenty-three years of age, was shot and seriously injured last evening about 6 o'clock at the Beale stock farm, near Hyattsville, Md. The person who fired the shot was Mr. W. H. Ridgway, the lessee of the farm. Smith was in the employ of Mr. Ridgway up to the time of the shooting. According to the injured man, he had been discharged by Mr. Ridgway, and he asked the latter for the wages due him, whereupon Mr. Ridgway struck him with a pitchfork. ‘I took the implement away from him,” says Smith, “and followed him to the houge to renew my request for the money, but without warning Mr. Ridgway appeared in the doorway with a shotgun and fired, the contents taking effect in my right thigh.” Mr. Kidgway’s story of the shooting differs from the above. He claims that Smith refused to unharness a horse hitched to a vehicle in the barn yard, and for that reason was discharged and told to leave the farm. This he refused to do. Mr. Ridg- way admits that he picked up a pitchfork, but Smith, who is a much larger man, took it from him, and then followed him to the house, and rudely pushed aside Mrs. Ridg- way, who was standing in the doorway. Mr. Ridgway fired the shot, which, he claims, was done in self-defense. Witnesses to the affair claim that Smith threatened to kill Mr. Ridgway. The wounded man was taken into Mr. Ridgway's house, and the latter drove to Hyattsville to procure a physician, but, failing to find one, conveyed Smith to the Emergency Hospital in this city in a wagon. ‘The man was resting quietly to- day, and the surgeons stated that he wiil recover, although it may be necessary to amputate the right leg, bat whether or not such action will be taken will not be known for several days. Immediately after the shooting Mr. Ridgway reported the -natter to Deputy Sheriff Barr of Hyattsville. oe HERMAN MARTIN IN CoURT. Held in $500 Bail for Selling Lottery Tickets. Herman J. Martin, for whose arrest a warrant was recently lice Court, on the oath o charging him with selling lottery tickets, appeared at the Police Court this morning to answer the charge. Lawyer Nauck, his couns the court fi 1 in the at $00, There is nothing in the charge, he told the court, but this prosecution is the outgrow of another case. He referred to the involving a charge against Sergt. Daley. Mr. Mullowny asked that the court fix the bond at $00. The offense charged, he said, is a serious one, and his information is that two persons will be in court who purchased tickets from the defendant. Judge Miller sald he would fix the ball at a sum calculated to insure the presence of the defendant. “He will be here,” said Mr. Nauck. “As soon as he heard the warrant was out for him he surrendered. “And,” he added, case, anyhow.” Judge Miller fixed the bond at $500, which ued from the Po- asked that here's nothing in the was given, and the case will be heard Thursday. —— NEW STORAGE BUILDING.

The attendancey was flatteringly large. The decorations were of the fruits of the harvest. Around the platform and on the tables were piled masses of gro- cerles, frults and vegetables. The exer- elses were principally of a literary nature. The children of the school acquitted them- selves particularly well with dialogues and recitations, The singing, too, was mer- {torious. All the selections related in some way to the harvest and harvesting. Those who took part were John King, Cora Bold- ing, Amanda King, Viola Burroughs, Annie McCobb, Leroy McCobb, Florence Willlams, Grace Williams, Forrest Yowle, Virgie Harding, Bessie .Howser, Della Howser, Nettle Trail, Annie Hunter, Etta Hurley and Florence Jones, Rev.

Jimmie Cook, the boy preacher and ex- horter, was at the Congress Street Church last night. He conducted the revival ser- vices with force and stirred up the congre- gation to the old-time Methodistic pitch. The church was packed with people.

Jimmie Cook is a native of Georgia, and has a churchly license to preach and exhort. He is boyish in appear- ance and manner, but matured in the choice of words and their expression. His earnestness carries weight with his words. The subj of his sermon jast night was “I Set Before You Life and Death.” The series of revivals now being conducted is phenomenally successful. The attendance is increasing greatly. The young preacher is heaping coals upon the fire started and fanned by Evangelist Wilson last week. Notes. Dr. John Reid of N street is confined to his room.
