In the Ladies' Home Journal Cleve
land Mofftit'te'l how the preate -.-of
all fringing evaugelisis, Ira D. Sankry,
came to give the world a hymn tout
will live long uf:er his voice is stilled.
It was iiur.:s Mo-t'y and Sunkty's
first visit to t.uat Uritain. As they
were entering the train in Glasgow,
Mr. Sankey" bought a copy of a penny
religious paper called The Christian
Age. Looking over it, his eye fell on
some verses, the first two .of
which read thus:
"There were ninety and nine that safely lay
In the shelter of the fold."
"Mr. Moody," exclaimed Mr. Sankey,
"I have found the hymn that I've beea
looking for for years."

"It i aunit a lot sleep."
Two ilayi later, m liirnibursth, they

Air. Moody leaned 'over the pulpit and

pasted tin' Hipping, he placesfl it before
li'm on the organ, and, after a liinnient
of silent Kiijipliration, struck a full
cliurd ami began to sing. And note
by note came the now famous- song.
Ho eompowd it hs he went along. AVhnt
he sang was tie joy that swelled in
his own eoul, hope that wit born, the
lore for those Tvlio needed lielp. Thus
lie finished the first stanza.
Then, as he paused and played a few
chords, wniting to begin agnin, the
thought camelo him: "Can 1 sing the
wonnd stanza isi I did 1hn first? Tan
I remember the notes?" And concern
trating his m'iwl once more for the ef

Auburn, X. V., and a law partner of the
late millionaire. Kelson Beardsley, a

nmnding the love and respect of all
who know him. Until within a few
years he has always made out his quar
terly reports himself, and though now
unable to perform actual labor he
visits the office daily and knows what
is going on.
The receipts the first year were
flO.53; now they are from $200 to $;I00.
It is therefore apparent that though
regarded "well to do," if not wealthy,
his money has not been made in the
post olliee but by general store, farm

presence suggested a happy thought
to the confederate leader. Itequest
ing their use for a moment he care
fully sheared off a lock of his abund
ant hair, and, placing it in a sealed
envelope, asked her to sec that the
package was delivered in person to
the president. Consent waa easy, and,
strange to say, the messenger car
ried out her pledge, handing the en
velope to Lincoln, who, on opening it,
read: "Here's a lock of my hair. I
hope In a few days to have the priv
ilege of carrying awuy your entire
head."
Lincoln was equal to the emer
gency, for, with the same shears.hede
tached a lock of his own and sev
eral days later succeeded in deliver
ing ft to his elusive correspondent.
The answer accompanying it wa:
"Thank you for your kind intentions,
but I take pleasure 'in sparing you
the trouble."
Gen. Moaby has carefully preserved
the epigrammatic reply, which he
cherishes to-day as the most precious
souvenir of the war. He declares the
story hat never been told, but vouches
for the accuracy.

"Whom ye erueilled." That echoed

they cried, "what shall we do?" Then
Peter pointed nut the way. Note the
steps: (1) repent. ('.') lie baptized, (3),
.errive the gift of the Holy (ihost. -
Repentance is not mere sorrow for
'n. Many a man has been sorry for
his sin, but has mrt then put his hack
lo it. Kepentnnce is a turning away
from sin toward (iod.
P.e baptized! This for two rensonar
(1) because it is in imitation to the act
of .lesus Christ, whom wp are to "Tie,
find (") because of the remission of
mir sins. Christ forgives sins, and it is
in His name that disciples are bap
tized. Kmphasis should be put upo.i
Ihe word "remission," If you have re
pented and your sins have been fo"
given, forget them. You will have ty
v'o for forgiveness for other sins, but
lo not allow yourself to be burdetK'd
with the old forgiven sin, it has been
rmit ted.
Ileceived the (lift nf the Holy Ghost.---This
shows the essential democrat ' of
the kingdom of Heaven. The gift uf
Ihe spirit of Christ is not alone or

'unto you and lo your children." It
means the gift of power to resist tvil
and to help others to resist.

apostles were .lews, most of the 'ew
converts, if tint all, were doi less;
Tews, yet here was now a body of peo
ple who "continued steadfastly i. the
apostles' doctrine and fellowshi'i, ami
in breaking of bread, and in pr."', i-rs."
They were still .lew", for thev met
daily in the temple, but they vcre
Christian Jews. Notice the "gladness
and singleness of heart," verse 40. The
Christian life should lie full of joy. It
is the complex things of thin world
that bring sorrow and perplex'.iy. The
riiristian life is one of singleness of
purpose. Therefore ' ' "'.!"'. An
nthfr thing worth no: pr Is that they
had "favor with all the pcop'e." Not
a'l Christians are popular. A'l of ;he
apostles suffered from ieisecut ion.
Christ Himself, true, pure and h. ;y as
r,n other mar. has been, was hounded
to death bv His enemies. Yet it re
