•Trace In tlie Soul" I« the Title of the
Rev. George H. Hepworth'* Sermon,
Preached In the New V..rk Herald'*
Columns—An Address by D. 1. Moody.
•'For the kingdom of God .is joy and
pence."—Romans xiv., 17.
The Bible is the most practical book in
the world. There is very little theology in
it—not as much as some people think—but
a great many inspired bits of advice as to
the eonduot of every day life, as though
the writer loved the men and women who
would read his word and was actuated by
no other motive than to help them over
rough places. For this reason the Book
has maintained its hold on mankind. It is
friendly, kindly and encouraging, a book
not to be read through at a sitting, but
io be taken up at odd times and glnneed
at just as you would look lit a handful of
jewels for a moment and then put them
away.
I have noticed that it makes many, very
many references to peace and joy—not the
peace of a nation, that busy peace in which
we compete for personal gain, but the
peace of the heart, which creates content
ment and keeps the soul in poise and
equilibrium; the peace which makesa man
feel that everything will come out right in
the end because nothing can come out
wrong when God is guiding our affairs. It
is once spoken of in very extreme lan
guage as "the peace that passeth under
standing," like the peace which a sensitive
soul enjovs when it gazes on a magnificent
landscape, or like that which the lover of
music has when he is listening to some su
perb orchestra, or like that which a moth
er has when she is sitting by the cradle of
her lirst born, a peace that refuses to be
analyzed, but is so deep and strange that
no one can describe it to a person who has
uot felt it.
I am talking to myself as well asto you
■when I say that we could get a great deal
moro out of life if we were more reposeful.
We expend to much energy on trivial
things, things so unimportant that it does
not matter greatly how they go. We allow
ourselves to be disturbed by small matters,
whereas the soul is big enough to look on
them with indifference. We keep ourselves
in a condition of nervous tension, which is
not simply hurtful to the body but equally
so to the spiritual nature. Body and soul
are so closely related that over excitement
of the one seems to throw the other off its
balance. Vou and I cannot be at out best
until wo are tranquil in tyeart with that
kind of tranquillity which rests on the ilrm
basis of faith that the angels of God are
looking after our interests and trying to
persuadeus totake the right road to heaven.
There is just an atom of insanity in us, and
when we grow restless that atom is fanned
into a flame. The truly sane man is the
quiet souled man. I say, therefore, sinco
Christianity teaches a man to be quiescent,
that the Christian religion will both make
us sane and keep us so.
When crossing the ocean recently our
•hip ran into a storm. Tho sea was very
rough, the fog closed in on all sides, and
wo iiad an uncomfortable time. The waves
were in an ugly mood, and on two or three
occasions swept the deck. I enjoyed it as
little as did the other passengers and should
have been grateful for a ray of sunshine.
But that was not to be thought of. Sup
pose I had taken on myself the responsi
bility of the situation. The captain was on
the bridge night and day, but suppose I
had allowed myself to wonder whether he
knew his business, and had offered him ad
vice as to the conduct of tho vessel. Would
that have allayed the tempest, would it
have stilled the troubled waters, would it
have kept tho ship from rolling uneasily?
1 sho'.i|fl not only liavo done no good, but
should have interfered to my own detri
ment. My duty was to keep on my feet as
best I could, uot togo beyond my province
as a passenger, to bear in mind that tho
captain had passed safely through a thou
sand worse storms und was showing no
anxiety about this one. If I had faith in
the master of tho craft there was no need
to be afraid. Any doubt as to his ability
would at once create havoc of mind and
body. My duty was to keep still and to
cherish the conviction that all would be
well in a few hours.
Now the spiritual difficulty we encounter
in our lives Is this subtle suspicion that
after all there may not be a God, or, if
there is, that He is not equal to the emer
gency. That rankest of all heresies lies at
the foundation of our religious restless
ness. We may as well face this fact and
govern ourselves accordingly. The man
who does not cheerfully meet his fate has
a larking doubt of God's existence, lie
may deny it to others, but he must needs
admit it to himself. He may accept the
longest creed that was ever written and b i
orthodox in all the details of his professed
belief, but if you eould find your way into
his heart of hearts you would discover that
his faith in God is a social or ecclesiastical
luxury, and as such is worth very little.
Did Christ have any doubt that a legion
angels would minister unto Him In His
essity? Can you conceive of Ilim as
ing at tho window of His friend's house
Bethany on the night before the cruci
on and wondering if Ho could go
ough tho next day's experience? On
i contrary, He was self-possessed, even
.eerful, and if the opportunity to avoid
le cross had been offered Ho would not
ive used it. He knew that the Father was
■re, that the Father would be with Him,
d that the cruel nails could not pain Him
much as a doubt of that Father's love,
"e «-annot follow that example except in
r-oIT way. He said Thy will be done
•v.it a tremor, but we can say it with a
■r. The highest excellence is repose,
ul repose of soul, but you cannot be
assessed until you know that you are
ssert of God. The essence of religion
je soul's consciousness that as its day
hall be its strength; that God and you
.do anything and bear anything. After
it you will be at peace, quiescent and
cqulescent. Ho who has hold of God's
Kind and knows it is the most cheerful
I il this side of Heaven.

L. Moody lias been holding a

Saviour Jesus Christ. And yet—and yet It
is so hard for people to realize what it
means to be lost—yea, L-O-S-T!"
The evangelist's voloa thundered as lie
hurled this down upon the audience, A
low murmur came In recognition of its
force.
"What is it to be lost! When I came to
New York twenty years ago little Charlie
Boss had just been lost. The whole nation
was moved as it had not been moved fllno®
the war They gave me the picture of the
child, asking that I search mv congrega
tion for some trace of him. Devoted friends
of his mother came day after day, search
ing for the little ohild. Many and many a
mother wept at the thought of the anguish
of that boy's mother. And yet there are
millions of toothers that have lost their
sous, for these sons have missed the word
of God! _
"Again, I will tell yon another storv. In
one of the towns in tho West where I was
preaching two little children had wan
dered into the woods —a brother and a sis
ter. All day men searched for them and
they were not found. The day following
these men could do nothing at their labor.
So they formed a line—a thousand of them
—all a few feet apart, and scoured the
woods. Then when the word came down
the line that the little ones had been found
safe and well, how that town was stirred.
"And yet, I toll you, here ure hundreds
and hundreds of drunkards, young men
lost In vice, lost forever, and yet this town
Is never stirred. Think of the young men
going down, down, down, deeper into "Vice,
while no one seems to be moved.
"Except that man be born again he can
not see the Kingdom of God.
"There is not a poor drunkard nor a
fallen woman that God does not want.
They do not believe, perhaps, that God
wants them. Go hunt them up. Tell them
the Word of God.
"A certain woman hasten pieces of sil
ver, and loses one. Does she let it go? No!
She gets a broom and raises a dust and a
commotion. She doesn't wait for the silver
to come back. Then when sh» is success
ful she says: 'Rejoice with me, I have found
the piece of silver.'
"There will be a groat joy in New York
when the lost are found. Luke said: 'Then
drew unto Him the publicans and sinners.'
It got out that Christ wanted the lost ones
to comp unto Him, the publicans and sin
ners. Then they came. What you must
do is to publish that ..God seeks tne sinner.
If t hero Is any one that is tired of sin, I
bring you good news. The Shepherd is the
same. He is still seeking you.
"A mother wrote to her infidel son, 'Go
to Moody and San key's meeting.' That
was In 1874. Ho satd 'Yes,' and that was
all she could get out of him. He would
go if it wasn't too much trouble. The first
meeting in Brooklyn chanced to bo within
a block of his homo. He came. He said
that he had no thought when he gave the
promise that It would be so near, but It was
a bore, anyhow. Next night he was con
verted. 'Have you written your mother?'
I asked him. "'No,' said he, 'l've oabled.'
That's the way the Shepherd seeks.
"While theiion of God seeks, you seek,
too. I never knew ono that was really
seeking that didn't find. I told a man I
know that I could nnme tho day and hour
when he would be saved. 'Ho,' said he, 'I
didn't know there was a prophet In your
family.' 'Neither is there.' said I. 'l'm
no prophet, but I can toll.' 'When?' ho
asked. 'The day and hour when you earn
estly seek God.'
"God isn't going to save the mnn that Is
asleep. I saw a man at one of.ourjrneetiugs
who stood with his hands In his pockets,
leaning against a pillar. 'Do you wish to
be saved?' I asked fiim. 'l've no objec
tion,' he answered. Seek the Lord where
ho may be found. Can the Lord be found
here to-day? Come, I ask you. Can the
Lord be found here to-day?" ' . -*1
"Yes, ye*," cried a dozen voices In re
ply. The evangelist nodded his head in
pleasure.
"Seek the Lord where ho may be found.
Seek as men seek gold. It won't take long
to find Him. Look at the crowd rushing
into the Klondike. If men were as anxious
to get Into the Golden City as they are to
get Into the Klondike they would be saved
readily enough. If they were as anxious
for God as some of them seem to be for
war just now, they would And Him easily
enough.
"You don't have to wait to be saved.
Pray now 'Lord, save me.' If It Is a heart
felt cry, you'll be saved. If out of work or
discouraged, cry out. God will hear you.
How do I know, you ask? Because I have
seen thousands savod. It Is one of the
easiest yet one of the hardest things In the
world to be saved. But it's easy when you
once make up your mind.
"Now let us prav that all in this house
be saved. Let us continue In silent prayor."
Kneeling, the lifted his face,
still clutching at his breast the song book.
After a moment of restlessness, the great
audience settled in a deep, intense silence.
It was broken by the evangelist arising
and asking that a hymn bo sung. Then he
spoke again.
"Come with me!" he cried: "come and
be saved. Let all that wish to know the
word of God come with me into that room
over there. I will counsel with them.
"If thoro Is any ono beside you that
needs converting, speak with them. If
they l>e timid, bring them with you.
Come."
Arising, the evangelist moved down from
the platform, taking his way to the room
at the rear. The crowd turned, and dozens
of Individuals followed in the evangelist's
wake. There In that room they obtained
his counsel and cheer, and with smiling
faces went upon their ways.
COUNTERFEITING IN PRISON.
Convicts Take Metal Froin the Eneinu
and Coin Nirkela.
A counterfeiting plant hns been discov
ered within the walls of the State Prison
at Folsom, Cal. The work was done In the
engine room by Convicts L. H. Coyne and
James Brown. So far as known only nickels
were coined, presumably because no silver
could bo obtained. When tho officers
rushed in Covno and Brown leaped through
a window and threw their dies and cruci
bles into a canal leading to the American
Itlver. A large number of well executed
live-cent pieces were found. They were
made from Babbit metal taken from the
engines which run through the prison
grounds for tho purpose of hauling rock
from the quarries.
It is thougnt thnt the dies or moulds
were not made by the mon who coined the
money, but by some of the expert counter
feiters In the prison. Several of the bogus
coins have been found in circulation In the
town of Folsom.
SHARK CATCHERS DROWNED.
Four Jajianrse Lose Their Lives in the
Surf in mi Exciting Hunt.
Four Japanese fishermen woro drowned
near Pacific Grove, Cm., while harpooning
sharks. Japanese catch sharks for oil,
which nets twenty-five cents a gallon. Two
boats went out. with three men In one and
four in the other. The boats were lashed
together with cross pieces so that they
would better withstand the lunges of
sharks when harpooned. A school of white
sharks appeared early in the afternoon,
and one. fully twenty-live feet long, was
harpooned, instead of rushing out to sea
as wounded sharks usually do, this one
made for the shore and dragged the boats
into the surf. T'our huge rollers were en
countered and capsized the boats. Threo
men In one of the bonts reached shore. The
others were drowned.
;w»r on Food Adulteration*.
The pure food congress at Washington
was attended by about 200 delegates. War
against food adulteration was declarod in
strong terms.
Prosperous American Farmers.
American farmers received $5,000,000
more for their produots in 1897 than they
did in 1896.
A TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST
IN MANY WAYS.
4 Copartnership—Remarkable Reception
Given Octogenarian Teetotaler* In Lon
don—Fort y-thrne Attended the Banquet
—Extracts From Speeches and Letters.
Sir Wilfrid Lawaon has thrown off the
following lines, called forth by a letter
trhieh recently appeared in the Liverpool
Daily Post, on the subject of a publication
la a oertain. town, who combined in a
double-fronted establishment the business
if drink seller and funeral undertaking:
His customers with sparkling ales
This worthy victualler treats,
A liquor which we know entails
The "funeral baked meats."
Death lurks within the alluring bowl
For him by whom it's taken;
This victualler, then has, on the whole,
Done what he's undertaken.
Octogenarian Teetotalers.
As an object-lesson on the subject of
human longevity we have seen no publica
tion more instructive than a beautiful Ut
ile book, published by tho National Tem
f'erance League, of London, entitled, "Oc
ogenarian Teetotalers." It is the narra
tive of n reception to octogenarian teeto
talers, given by the League in May, 1897,
tnd speeches and letters ineidont thereto.
Relations were established with nearly
{OO ontogenarluns, of 163 of whom life
»lcetohes were prepared. Forty-three at
tended the banquet in London, tho nver
tgc of whose ages was years, among
irhom were Dr. F. It. Lees (ajfe 81) and
Rev. Newman Hall, D.D. (age 80). We
guote briefly from speeches and letters:
Dr. Lees (81).—It has been said that we
cannot "arrange" the Kingdom of God.
True, but we have indicated a fact more to
the purpose—that the wloked interests of
the world have sown tares while the virtu
ous people slept; they have been allowed
not only to "arrange," but to establish and
tntrench, in law, the kiogdon of the devil,
ind thus to thwart and defeat the missiOD
of Christ.
Dr. Newman Hall (80). —I have been
torty-two years la London, preaching on
in average three or four time a week, and
( have been only six Sundays out of har
ness, Ju consequence of sickness.
Henry Brown (80). —I have been a pool
customer to tho doctor. I havo not sup
plied them with a sovereign yet and I havo
led an active life.
George Fropfrjohn (81), walks eight
miles a day in following his trade, as a
builder; sometimes up and down ladders;
wherever hti occupation calls him.
Frederick Miller (80), printor for sixty
fight years; not for a single day in
iho last twenty years to omit going to his
jocupr.tton!
J. N. Diokinson (82). —An abstainer titty
two years. Never had a serious illness.
During the fltty-two years" abstinence,
only three times under medical treatment,
the last time having been twenty-six yeuri
ago.
Rev. Charles Fisher (81).—An nbstalnet
sixty years. At the ace of 80 wrote: "I
have never laid in bod from sickness ot
paid five shillings for medicine for myself,
Often working ten to eighteen hours nei
ilay, and often preaching Sundays."
Samuel Saunders (82).—Teetotaler sixty
six years. Never had a headache. Nevei
in bod through illness.
Rev. Peter Mearns (80). —Fifty years in
ministry. Never aslnglo Sabbat'i beeu un
nblo to preach on account of ill-health,
Within a month have climbed two of the
Cheviot Mountains, each requiring a walk
of two hours.
D. G. Paine (80)— My doctor's expense
(for myself personally) during sixty-five
yenrs has been, total .£2 165., or an average
of 10Yd. annually.
William Hardy Root (91). —In his eighty
sixth year, for six consecutive days waikud
seven to eight miles a day.
The Spirtual Side.
The curse of drunkenness on the side ol
Its physical devastations has been abun
dantly depicted by the advocates of the tem
perance reform. Tho amount of grain con
sumed in the manufacture of lntoxioating
liquors; the number of men whose lnbor is
worse than wasted in producing and vend
ing them; the number of lives destroyed by
them; the number of paupers and insane
persons whose woes nre traceable to this
Bouroe; tho effects upon bttio health of in
dividuals—all of these things are frequent
ly set forth with sufficient fulness in im
pressive rhetoric. Homo allowances must
lie made for the overstatements of zealous
advocates, but there are facts enough of an
appalling nature In these representations
to call for the most serious thought.
But the worst side of drunkenness is not
that which appears in these familiar figures.
Tho most frightful offeots of the drink habit
are not those which can be tabulated in
statistics and reported in the census. It is
not tho waste of corn nor the destruction of
property, nor the increase of taxes, nor
even the ruin of physical health nor the
loss of life, which most impresses the mind
of the thoughtful observer of Inebriety. It
Is the effect of this viee upon the charac
ters of men as it is exhibited to him, day by
day, in bis ordinary Intercourse with them,
tt is in the spiritual realm that the ravages
of strong drink are most terrible.
The Other Sldr.
A gentleman snid to us, "I do not favor
prohibition—lt would be an Injustice to
the men in business; besides, it would
throw thousands out of employment."
We replied, "You do not look nt this
issue froui the right side. You take a con
tractor's view."
Just before the war closed a Government
contractor said in a car, "I do hope the wai
will not close under two years. I will lose
thousands of dollars; besides, many men
will be turned out of employment from the
Government works."
A lady passenger, clad in weeds of mourn
ing, rose to her foet, and, with tearful
voice, said: "Sir I have a bravo boy and a
husband sleeping tho sleep of death in a
soldier's cemetery. I havo only one boy
left, and he is in front ot the foe. Oh,
God! I wish the cruel war would close
now."
He saw the point. Do you?
It may be your boy or your girl that
will fall the next victim to the drink "in
dustry." (?)
Would you consider tho "trade" worthy
such a price?— National Temperance Ad
vocate.
Ruins Every Effort For Oooil.
Intemperance ruins every effort for good.
Pour money bv the thousands into tho
slums, multiply institutions, improve tho
rookeries, reduoe the ren-s, and, unless
you somehow or other concurrently reduce
the temptations to indulgence in strong
drink, you will simply furnish so much
more material for fostering the vice. Pro
vide free education, feed the children,
clothe them, distribute alms—all that can
bo saved in such ways will go in drink.
Rum's Bondsmen.
In Madison, Wis., a liquor seller has to
be a man of good moral character! and
have at least two sureties in the penal sum
of SSOO.
Tho Northwestern of that city publishes
a list of these liquor sellers, and by stars
points out those of their number who have
been fined for one or more violations of
the excise law since July 1, 1896.
Tfgp paper also publishes the names ot
tho sureties with the number of license
bonds signed by such persons. If such
lists were published In every licensed city
where bonds are required, It would make
Interesting reading for the neighbors ot
euch bondsmen, and prove in some cases
quite startling. * —
Spring Medicine
Tkese two words emphasize a neces
sity and indicate a remedy.
SPRING —the season when the blood is
most impure as a result of the win
ter's closer confinement, higher liv
ing, slower action of the kidneys
and liver; when humors of all kinds,
boils, pjmples and eruptions are
most liable to appear; when the
weak, languid condition of the whole
bodily structure demands and wel
comes help.
MEDICINE —that to wfiich the millions
turn at this season—Hood's Sarsapa

aration especially adapted to the
present needs of the human family;

How Itall* Are Injured.
While on steam roads the tracks are
not injured by locomotives running at
high speeds, street railway men com
plain that their tracks are torn to
pieces by the electric cars. The rea
son for this is that the plunging and
rearing of cars mounted on four
wheeled trucks pound the tracks and
loosen the joints. Cars on short-base
single trucks often plunge sufficiently
to throw practically all the weight on
to the front and rear wheels alterna
tively, and the damaging efl'ect of this
can easily be realized.
