TINDALL'S ELOQUENT SERMON oo Much Indifference to the Greatness of Christ—Oversights of Literary Men and Philosophers—Moses and the Fireproot Bush. Rev. D, K. Tindall, D. D,, returned to the eward street Methodist church by a of the recent North Nebraska conference, delivered an excelient sermon yesterday morniug. He spoke from xodus, | And Moses saia, T will aside and see this great sight, why the bush 16 not burned.” The sermon in brief “We see in this this what we bring oyes to see.

Spiritual things are spiritually discov In all ages of fallen man true, com discernment has b sother too rar ingly true of thisaze A good conscicr greatly kelps to spiritunl discernment. We see in revelation what we bring cyes to sce. To the rationalist the bivle contains little, i any, of thedivine; itis a human book. To the skeptic some of it is fable and some of it may be valuable for history, but is all void of inspiration. Christ wis only a man, al- though a good and wise ona and centuries ahead of his times. 'To the intellivent Christian the bible is a revelation of God to man, 1t is inspired, divine in its origin, re- veals tous a_divine, human Christ as' the saviour of men from their sins. To him the bible is at once a lamp to his fect ana u light to his pathway. To him thatold book was all given by inspiration and is profitable for Jnstruction in vighteousness in things pres- ent and things to come, things here and hereafter. The bible is the word of Jife. We see in the experience of life what we bring tosee. To many life is but the sum of our days, months, yeurs; or is but ing, arinking and sleeping. It is but our stay in the world. Not so is it witn the Christian, COhristin who has been fon life 18 nt see world und in more ity and the Bible. “To him it is freighted with significance, It means probation, trial, character. He has the key to the trials of this life. Aside from character, dicipline, development, they are mweaningless, Many of these troubles are explainablo on natural grounds, many others arc not. We hear one man say, *Why is mv health so poor while that of othiers so good? Another, ‘Why am I so poor*while others have plenty and to spare? Yeu an- other, ‘Why wis my darling baby taken from me so carly while others were spared to their purents? The Christian sees in 1t all a significant lesson of divine providence, whatever may beits supposed nature and ob- ject by othcrs. He siys, *All things work together for good.’ He sees what ho brings eyes to sce, Pletures of Good and Evil, “The same s true of the cood and evil seen in each other. That there §s much evil in the world no one can_ fora momes doubt, but it is often magnified by the through which we see it. We have b ‘swelling committces, whose bu was to fitd all the evil that may persons and things, and they most always find what they look for. The carrion bird generally finds the dead carcass.

While the ymedy drama abounds in strong lines in many places, which the people in front w not slow in appreciating, the play as a whole is disappointing. 1t is tiresome in dialogue and actioniess, excent where Mr. Johnson has inserted situations and climaxes that soften some t the monotony of conven- tional stage business. But the character of Osmonde O'Sulliv: the Irish schoolmaster and eventually mini ter plenipotentiary to the new [rish repub. lic acquired by the United States, gives Mr. Johnson an opportunity to display his dbil- ity. As the schoolmaster he is full of brigh ness, ever ready with song or dance to drive away the “blues.” and as the Irish states- mun he presents a fine picture of vigorous manhood, very s stive of the congress- man from the Second N ka district Mr. Johnson reads well, is easy and grace- ful either in corduroy knickerbockers or a dress suit, His is purticularly adapted to waltz songs, The company generally Is acceptable, the one regrei being that the soubrette, who is a very pretty girl, has so little to do.

Among the 65,000,000 people in the United States there are probably not 500—outside of the locality—vho ave aware that at the mouth of the Miss sippi there is a little village built upon wooden piles standing far out in the water. This villag which is called Balize, says Harper's Young Poopl reached from the mainland by canoes or boats, and 1ts inhabitants have to climb a kind of pole-ladder to get to the aoor- way of thoir homes. This is probably the only place in_the United States in which ““pile-dwellings ccenr: bus all along the Venezuelan coast and at the mouths of the Orinoco and Amazon simi- lar villages are froquently met with, many of them being inhabited by the Indian fishing tribes of the Amazon estuary. Thesoe strange inhabitants were fivst discovered by Alonzo de Ojeda, who ac compunied Columbus on his second voy- age to this continent. In 1499 he under took an independent voyage to explor the northern part of South America and he took with him Amerigo Vespucei, who wrote a graphic account of the expedi- tion. The follow: extract from a translation of Vespucc ek gives the origin of the name Venezuela and tells of the connection between the villago discovered thore and thej namo Venezuela: “Proceeding along the coast, they arrived at vast gulf resembling a tranquil luke, entering which they beheld on the eastern side a village the construction of which filled them with surprise. Itcon- sisted of twenty large houses shaped like bells, and built on piles driven into the bottom of the lake, which in this part was limpid and but' of little depth. Each house was provided with a draw- bridge and canoes. * * * [rom the resemblance to the Ttalian city, Ojeda, gave the bay the name of the Gulf of Venice (Vene; )" The country itself wasafterwards called Venezuela, or Lit- tle Venico, the originul Indiah name being Coquibacoa.
