THE KVKNI.Ntl HKItVICKH.
The church last evening was fllled with
nu audience eager te hear the ledurem.
The floral decorations around the pulpit
were beautiful, consisting efnn anchor and
baskets of roses tw incd with smilax. Ser
vice opened witltnu anthem by Iho choir,
Miss Ilattle Quliiu taking thu leading art.
Shonlse sang a sole in tlie meriiiilg, "He
Cnlleth Thee," which was exceedingly
beautiful and enjeytsl by nil. Alter con
gregational singing, "I I.ove Thy King
dom, Ixird," Dr. Calvin Stewart read
n psalm and Dr. Allred Nev In
led in prayer. After singing Dr. Mitchell
introduced Mr. Rebert Morgan, n Paw nce
from the t'atllsle Indian school, who ad
dressed the meeting, urging the Christians
te de all in their newcY te spread the truth
of the gospel among Ills tribe, who are
anxious te learn all about the Saviour.
Tlie next speaker was Mr. Klsh
Hawkins, from the Cheycnne trlbe,
who opened his address by remarking
that he was given Ills choice whither te
stand In thq pulpit or en the lower plat
form, but lie chose, the upper place, as he
meant te occupy n high position in llfe and
prove the falsity of the famous remark,
" Ne geed Indian but a dead Indian," The
Chrislianiriiig of his peeple Is possible, and
in his opinion every Indian should be
brought under the influence of thu gesjicl.
His tribe were eager te heir and try te
practice Christian ways, but many mere
missionaries are needed ; if our hearts are
In 11 help will be sent te them. "Where
tliore Is a w ill there is a way" wns repeated
with emphasis. Huthoreuglily disapprov
ed of the reservation system, saying what
his peeple needed is contact with Christian
Americans.
Rev. Aluuze E. Austin, of Sitka, Alaska,
deliveied the prilici(al addres-, dwelling
for a few moments en the scenery, pro
ducts, climate and wonderful jMmnihllitics
of that country. The natives of Alaska at
the coining of thu missionaries were in a
terriblu physical and spiritual condition,
"living in thu region of tlie valley of
death, abiding in habitations or cruelty,"
but Ged loves them as He does us.andseiit
his messengers te thciu,:ts they are Included
In the command "Ouye into all thu world
and preach the Gesjiel te every creature. "
liCtyetir prayers rise te Ged, imploring
that tint blessings be scut down en
the Alaskans, for they sadly need
thu help of Ged nud man. In
the school ever which Mr. Austin has
charge enu luiiidrtsl boys are kept, clothed
and educated. These lieys study enu half
the ttay and loam trades the ether half,
carpentering, tailoring, slieeuiaklng, etc.
Their church has it iiiciulicrship of three
liundrtsl nnd twenty-seven. They Hre
liursistent In prayer and have an
uulKuiudud reverouce for (he lllble
as the revealed wenl of ijed; bellov bellev
lug itl prayer nud works, as thu
old utylug is, " Ged helps these that help
themselves." Speaking ofthe noeplo who
nowadays think it tlic proper thing te decry
tie Creater, he narrated several Incident
proving that lit many cases In time of
danger these doubters are (he first ones te
cry for help te Ged, although when "skies
were clear they considered themselves all all
sulllclenL It seems utmost incrodlble te
bollevo Iho fearful custom practiced by
the Alaskans In spiritual darkness, the
torturing nnd burying nlive under suspi
cion of being witches being no uncommon
occurrence. Affection for the paternal
ancestor appears te be at a low ebb In
Alaska, all tint love being given te the
mother, who In turn lavished her utfoctlen
upon (he children. Mr. Austin stoke of
a man's death being told his widow-when
she remarked s " I don't care ; he's no
friend of mine" He made n fervid appeal
for assistance In the work among the
Alaskans.
Miss Perley, of Siwnlsh Ferks, tltlhi,
who ekn in the afternoon, again made a
row remarks en tlie Iniquities and falseness
of Morineulsin. "There in no cornering a
Mermen." In one way ornnethor he Is
bound te evade the law. It being new
lllcgijl JjJtany ene te vote wllhrmt-iiwrill'-ing
that he does net belong te any associa
tion which practices lKilygamy, this Is
the way they get around 11 ; A fevv w oeks
before election their chiireh announces
Hint bevnuse of the sins of the people
the blessed prlvllege or polygamy la taken
nvvny. Then after election the prlvllege is
restored te them. Mermen women bollevo
that for them there is no resurrection,
unless (he veil which Is placed ever (heir
faces nt death is raised by (heir husband nt
Iho last day. Miss Perley thinks he'll
have n busy day of It, if he lias ten or
twelve wives, as is quite common. She
was sorry she could net say for
her iKeple, as Mr. Austin did for his,
that they were eager te receive (he
truth, but it Is dlfllcult te find an iqicnltig
Inte their hearts. The emissaries of Moi Mei Moi
nieulsm are ilndlng their way into overy
slate or the Union, gaining con vet ts by
hundreds.
After singing " Illest be the Tle That
Rinds'" by the congregation, the benedic
tion was pronounced by Dr. Nevln. Thus
closed nu evcntfnl, pleasant and prolltable
day In 'the history ofthe Weman's Heme

A Chestnut Opara by a Flue Cemiuuiy
Draws Immensely.
Ne local entertainment has ever been
mere successriil than "Tlie Mikade," or
lias there ever been a show here that hns
given mere satisfaction te Iho public. After
the three very creditable porfernmnces of
Inst week, tliore wns nn almost unanimous
desire te have It repeated. The iterrermnrs
agreed (e this, and ns seen as the chart wns
ojiened a few days nge, there was a great
rush for sentB. Ry yostenlay afternoon
every seat down stairs in tlie ejssra house,
had been sold and still there wns n demand.
When the doers opened Inst evening the
house began te till up and the audience
was ene of the largest ever seen in the
building. Chairs wcie placed in thenlsles,
which nil lilted with people, who were
standing. The iHtrferiuniice wns the same
ns given three times before, but was' In nil
prelHtblllly better, an the largo-'niullehco
seemed te inspire the performers, and they
nil acquitted themselves splendidly.
After the opera lastevcnlng the mem
