In addition, new pews nnd carpets have

The alterations have cast nearly $6,
000. The renovation Is practically com
plete, and the change will bo dedicated

DEPLOEABLE SIGHT TO BEHOLD.
Excerpt from a Sermon Delivered by
Rev. James Hughe's, D. D.
In his sermon In the Adams avenue
chapel on New York street, yesterday
morning, Rev. James Hughes, D. D
said, among other things:
I hnvo seen tho suvngo tribes of Africa
In deadly battlo and shall never forgot it.
Tho fiendish looks, tho diabolical yells,
and tho hellish clash of arms with Its
consequent carnage wore sufiicient to
cause one's blood to curdlo and angels
to weep.
This is bad enough, but this sinks Into
insignificance when we remember that
even now In tho twentieth century of tho
Christian era. the Christian nations of tho
earth are nrnicd to the teeth and onu
vicing with another as to who can pro
duce tho most dostructlvo and devastating
Instrument of death.
Some of thn mightiest intellects of tho
piesent age are entirely devoted to, nnd
highly paid, for planning campaigns,
training thousands of men to kill or cap
turo other men, and spending many sleep,
loss nights In older to become familiar
with tho strategic geographical parts of
tho earth.
Billions of dollars are spent annually bj
Christian nations to support aud equip
their piodlitious military and naval forces,
whllo thero tiro thousands of God's hid
den ones subsisting on tho barest neces
sities of life, and millions iiioro gi oping
their way In tho midst of pagan dorknesa
through this world Into a tlrcttd oternlty
lit causa tho means to send tho blosseij
light ot tho Gospel among them cannot
bo procured.
Wo aro afraid ot each other because
wo mlstiust each other. By way of Jus
tification for ihco elaborate and costly
equipments people say, "Tho best way to
rnsuro peace Is to be. well prepared for
war," A most dangcious bit of sophls.
try. This is one of Satan's most effective
so'poriferous sentiments, for It lulls to
sleep tho consciences of thousands of
good unsuspecting people. What a spec
tacle, mighty nations claiming to be
bused on Christian principles nrmed to
tho teetli nnd ready for war. Thoro is a
lot of converting work required among
tho nations yet, f'liilstlan wotkeis mo
not llkuly to bo soon out of employment.
