DURYEA TO THE OLD SOLDIERS. | | | Epigrammatical Address to the Vet- erans—Dr. Crane Also Talks of the Results of the Late War. The pews nearest the pulpit of the First Congregational church were ali occupied by 1d soldiers yesterday morning. Dr. Duryea, | tie pastor, had previousiy announced that he Svouid preach o sermon to the ola veterans, | pud a special avitation had been jssued w | them. Nearly one hundred and fifty took | dvantage of the opportunity, and just as the t church was ringing they filed through the doors of the church and took | their positions. Dr. Duryea, who, by the way, participated Ln the war of the rebellion, not as a soidier, ut as a ready and willing worker, adminis- tering to the many wants of the sick, wonnded and dying, chose for his text the Words: *‘He is a minister of God to thee for | g00d. He beareth not the sword in vain.” The doctor explained the siguificance of Memoriul day, suying: “Were it for the custom 1t} entiment might cea: but as it is the day will not only survive this genera tion, but it will be a day that wi'l be couse- crated to future generations.” In speaking of the war of the rebellion he said: It is said_that v sht not to con- template war, Son iave said that war is an evil, and t lot the past bary the forget : and the times when hearts and nands were lifted sgainst one another.

This was the spirit of war.” Had this continued there would have been no one on the carth today, because the strong would have exterminato the weak, and so it would have gone on until the strong would have died off, But it was not so iutended, for there was someone there totake off the strong before they could destroy the weak, *“The strong arm of the parent will not strike the child unless it 1s necessary.

GREAT PROSPERITY, PROMISES OF Theme Which Moved Bishop Warren of Denver to an Eloquent Ser- mon—The New Methodist Church Dedicated. Bishop Warren of Denver preached at the First Methodist church yesterday moraing to an audience that filled every seat in the spacious edifice. Bishop Newman, Dr. Tiffany of Minneap- olis, Rev. T. M. House, kev. P. S. Merrill aud Elder Clendenning occuplied seats on the platform. The discourse by Bishop Warren was scholarly, earnest and eloguent. 1t was Iy an bour in length, but the large and cultured audience listened attentively to the very last word with evident appreciation. The learned speaker read a part of the fifty-eighth chapter of Isaiah as an introduc- tion to the centr.l thought of the text which he founa in the sixtietn chapter and seven- teenth verse of the same book. Tbe verse reads as follows: “‘For brass I will bring gold, and for iron 1 will bring silver, and for wood, brass, and for stones, irori. I will also y offl peace und thine exactors righteousness, The central thought was the promises of God, and how He repays those who seek after His truth and righteousness. God's promises of earthly happiness and prosperity for those who serve Him are both incomprenensible and incredible 1o us. Like many things done by God they pass our com- pretiension. It would appear thatsuch lav- ish giving would bring bankruptey to the giver. But when you consider the millions upon millions of tons of water which the sun lifts out of the ocean and carries over the mountains, to be poured out upon the fertile fields, it is easy to understand that the boun- teous ruins do not exhaust the source. The ocena is not affected by the gift of rain to the land, The scriptural text 18 trae. “With- holding doth not enrich Thee, neither doth giving impoverisn = Thee." God has and is always giviog the best in oxcnange for the poorest. God gave light where there was darkness, He created life where all was bleak and checrless, He made man with a mind to understand and a heart to love His mighty works. He has put within the inger’s touch of man better things taken into his possession. God alw: wanted man to have dominion over nature There has beeu steam in every drop of water that ever fell from heaven or leaped in the than man has ever yet cradlo of the deep, and Gou wanted man to kuow it and use it. Today steam does twenty times as much work as all the pe earth. Electricity has always been within the reach of man.” God rended the trees and rocks, and spoke in the pealing thunder with this mighty force, but man was oo dult and stupid to reach out his hand and lay hold of this wonderful force and convert it to his use. God has a better world than this, to which He is calling His children, but how slow they are to prepare for that upper and brighter world. He has a world where tho strects are paved with gold, and the glittering stones that we prize as being pre- clous here he uses there for exterior walls, Man in his present state is not fit for such an abode as that. He would be down on his kuces digging at the gold pave- ment. But God is calling His lovod ones thither, and by slow degrees the children of men are learning the desire of the Almighty Father. They are beginning to hear God and to see the blessings He is placing in their very pathway. Man bas a trading instinct. Boys swap knives and tops and when they become men they exchange lots and lands and certificates of value and of no value with the inteution all the time of get- ting something better. Sticky clay is changed into bricks with ich houses and temples of glory are built. seless ore is dug from the hills and mountains and converted into iron and steel. The poorest is changed into the best by the gift of God—reason and knowl- edge. Out of the iron ore dug from the hills the steel wire is mad almost as flexible and elastic as thougat itself, and is stretched around the world. Through it the thoughts of men travel with the speed of the lightning. We can uot begin to see or understand all of God's mighty works. A gentleman once sald to Mr. Turner, the great landscape painter: I cannot see Such colors in the sky @s you put upou canvas.” “Don’t you wish you could?” replied Mr. Turaer. “‘As for me, I confess I cannot be- g0 to put upon canvas @ tenth part of the glorious things that God shows me in the sky." jod wants every man to have the best within his reach.” He wants man to be strong. He says, “Be wise.” He puts the blooming plant in the window and says, *‘See my haudiwork.” Some souls aredull and stupid, and otbhers are sensitive, The spiritual life of some people is nothing but a dull pain. Thoy realize that they are not like God, and that is about all. "Some are stupid in intellect, some are weak and rheumatic of body and mind, while others are strong and vivacious. ln spiritual life some men are like Peler, chaugeuble. At one time the mild insinuation of a servant set Petor to lying and swearing. A few hours later he’ faced the whole city of Jerusalem and told them they were murderers. God wants to change every man’s life into something better. He not only blesses the prodigal when he returns, but He presses out to bless the more worthy non-prodigal who has never wandered away. He says: “For brass Iwill give you gold.” He does not deal in legacies, but distributes His blessings where they may be acquired rather than merely accepted. God has always wanted great men, but He has taken time to develope them. The speaker then showed how Abraham and Moses and the human side of Christ Himself were de- veloped, and tried in the crucial test before they were ready aua avle for the final triumpb. Abrabam was a liar at fiest, Moses was imperious and had to be sent to the country to keep sheop, where he lcarned meokness, But God then gave gold for their brass Had Abrabam refused to giveup his k dred and his inheritauce, as GGod commanded him to do, he would uever have been heard of by succeeding generations. Christ surrendered the hosannas and praises of the heavenly throne and became poor. He suffered persecution and death, but what glory_is His today! He received greater glory” than He surrendered. And He left the way open to all mankind. Tt we could only see God's heights of greatness that He wishes us to occupy we would step down from our little mole hills of consvicuonsness and accept God” tation to walk in ways of trath and righteousness, The speaker closed by calling attention to the benefits of a spiendid church building in educating public thought and teaching the graudeur of nature and of God. The build- ing of beautiful temples of worship, the speaker said, taught the poople to devote that which they thought valuable, their means, to that which was higher and nobler than the things and thoughts of men, Such efforts enlarged the hearts of men and opened the windows of heaven These apparent sacrifices changed littleress into greatuess, and that which was low and trausicnt into that which was bigh and eter- nal, Bishop Newman then presented the finan- cial problem again and said that there vet remained #7,000 to be raised. He procecded to take subscriptions, &nd in about thres- guarters of un hour $4,000 had been secured He chen announced that the dedicatory services would be observed in the evening, aud that Bishop Warren would preach again at that time, Eveninz Services. Notwithstanaing the rain, which came on at about the hour for church in the evening, a fair sized audience braved the shower and assemoled in the First Methodist church at 8 o'clock. Bishon Warren vreached an earnest ser- mou from Jobn iii., I6: *God so loved the world that He wave His only begotten son to die, that whosoever believed on Him might ot perish, but have everlasting life. The speaker dwelt upon the won- derful love of God and the great sacriice He made for the human race. He compared the emotion which men call love with that grander, nobler compas- sion that could stoop to take pity upon crea tures who had turned their backs on God.

The couple had been married one year ago at the famous marriage factory in Fairplay, but kept the marriage & secret until the appearance of their first born, George Peters died in the Davenport poor house recently. He was the man who ironed the wagon that took the first prize at the world’s fair at Vienna, and his handiwork figured elsewbere with ulmost equal promin- ence. His brother, who worked wita him much of the time, was another unto himself. They were both men of extraordina strength. ( ge Peters, in his better da; would lift without extraordinary e ‘tion 1,000 pounds, and it was a common feat for nis brotber to take a woight of 400 pounds in ch band and, unaided, to raise those weights to his head. Strong drink ruined them both. A singular matrimonial experience is that of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Greavink, living near Museatine. Twenty years ago Herman, then a brave and sturdy yeoman, won the heart and hand of Anna Freers,'a buxom lass of sixteen summers. Aftertheir marriage they took up their abode on a farm five miles west of Muscatine and lived happily together for sixteen ycars, and raised a large family of children, But the greeu-eyed r eutered their home and a divorce Both remarried and both tired of their newly found mates, and the divor mill was again set to grinding. Each wus restored to the privilege of single blessed ness, and the other day Herman and Haunah y walked lovingly into the presence of 'Squire Harket of Muscatine, who had oficiated at all their former puptials, and promised to love aud cherish each otlier just as they did ascore of years before, Flavoring Extracts NATURAL FRUIT FLAVORS.
