CHURCH SERVICES YESTERDAY. Elder Van Bnskirk Assumes the Pastorate of the Third Christian—Other Services. Notwithstanding the falling weather yesterday morning the audience room of the Third Christian Church on Home avenue, between College avenue and Ash street, was comfortably filled with listeners to the introductory sermon of the pastor-elect Elder David R. Van Buskirk, for several years past preaching in Bloomington, 111., but formerly of this State. He was years ago a member of the Indiana Senate, and for probably a quarter of a century has been a prominent minister among the people known as the Disciples of Christ. Reaching this city late on Saturday evening with his family, after a week or more of preparation for moving here, he was evidently not in a proper physical condition for delivering a set discourse, and contented himself with what might be termed a talk much after the style of the practical speeches of oldtime preacliiug, of the the pure and unadulterated gospel. He read from the 29th to the 39th verses, inclusive, of the fifth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, and referred to the successes which attended the proclamation of the gospel under the ministrations of the first apostles, and the wonderful revolution in human thought and feeling effected by their ministrations; declaring that it must forever stand as the most successful and instructive fact of human history. Whatever theory we may adopt in attempting a solution of the problem, the fact is beyond all dispute—it is not only not denied but simply undeniable. No other fact of history is more clearly and unmistakably attested than the fact of the strange and wonderful revolution effected through the operation of tho forces called out by the labor of the Carpenter of Nazareth and those He called around him. In fifty days after, on an occasion of an an nual festival, when the whole nation was present, and the first public announcement of his ascension, resurrection and coronation was made, 3,000 participants in the crime of the death of the Savior became his humble, penitent and devoted followers. In a few days the number was swelled to 5,000. and the work continued with remarkable activity. At the peril of life itself, thousands attested their belief m a risen and exalted Savior. Nor did it stop within the bounds of the Holy Land, but the wave rolled on until it reached Europe, and in heathen countries its success was even more remarkable. In fifty years congregations of disciples were found in all of the principal cities of the Roman empire. The sword of persecution was drawn and the faggots of persecution were kindled, and thousands of persons with no other crime charged against them than their undying love for the dear Savior of sinners, were put to death in the most cruel manner. As they iierished, multitudes rushed forward to take their places, and thus in about 300 years it was by royal edict declaimed the religion of the Roman empire. Here is a result unparalleled in the history of the race, of a great and wonderful revolution accomplished. To men residing in obscure villages, nest ling among the hills of Galilee, unlettered, and belonging to a race in bondage, did the Savior commit an interest second in importance to none ever before known to man. To be sure, afterward other men were added to this work, but we are still unable to account for its wonderful result. Take into account the places where this work was done; Asia and Europe were the theater of their battles, re suiting in sublimest victory. Then carefully consider the opposition met with by these men. It was not the opposition alone of the ignorant, passionate and fanatical class, but the whole prejudice of the Jewish nation was arrayed against them. Can you conceive of two antagonisms more intense than were those of Jew and gentile? And the military of the mightiest nation in antiquity were brought against these men; but, in the face of flood, fire and death, these influences went on until in the year 325 Constantine declared it. hy royal proclamation, to be the religion of the Roman empire. Their preaching was a perfect call to self-denial. If you love anything mone than your Savior you cannot become his disciple. It was a perpetual appeal to faith, to loyalty and to all that is noble in man. Take Christ out of the lives and hopes of these men and what is left? God works through men. The secret of the wonderful success of these men is to be accounted for by their deep and abiding faith—faith in the justice of their cause and the conviction that no earthly power could destroy, that God wa6 in their cause and it must succeed. The grandest achievements of men were of those goaded on by the firm,'conviction that God was with them. There never is earnestness where there is no faith; and we frequently resort to questionable expedients in order to make up for a lack of faith. A genuine faith in God and in the awful revelations that will be made in the day of judgment would make very different men and women of us. This faith does not become restless. This battle of faith is the long battle of centuries. God will take care of the next genera tion. Do your duty to day. It is not.the work of a day or a month. A living faith in the eternal God should be the impulse, and before such power and such influence no opposition can stand.

Services Elsewhere. The services at Roberts Park M. E. Church yesterday morning were conducted by Rev. S. T. Gillette, now one of the oldest preachers in Indiana, and who refused a commission of chaplain in the war because he preferred to go among the soldiers “as a Methodist preacher.” He has been a resident of this city for many years, and is now nearly seventy-five years old. His sermon yesterday morning was in the nature of an old-time religious exhortation. Last evening Rev. J. W. Turner, of Irvington, filled the pulpit. The theme of his discourse was “Preachers and People,” in which the relations of the two were critically discussed. Rev. Gilbert De La Matyr, now of Denver, Col., will preach at Roberts Park Church, of which he was formerly pastor, next Sunday evening. Seventh-Street Church. On Wednesday night a lecture and musical entertainment will be given at the Seventhstreet M. E. Church. Hon.

Walker will give a recitation. Doctors Edson and Van Buskirk will be present and assist in the programme. The entertainment is giveD to assist the church in raising the debt still upon the new building. Transferred to the Federal Court. Damage suits against the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Railway Company, to an amount aggregating $35,000, were transferred to the federal court on Saturday from the Washington Circuit Court. The suits all grew out of the Salem bridge trouble, and one filed by W. A. Doak, administrator of Ulrich Saylor, for $10,000; Isaac Colglazicr, for $5,000; H.. W. Thompson, administrator of Andrew Eichler, for SIO,OOO, and as also administrator of Cortes B. Thompson, for SIO,OOO. The Glose Inquest. The inquest into the death of Mrs. Margaret Glose continues. On Saturday her daughter, Mrs. Roman, testified that she was of unsound mind and hard to get along with; and Mrs. Anna Lynn, a neighbor, corroborated these statements. The old lady had been twice married and had separated from her second husband without a divorce, and for ten years had lived with her daughter. A Bold Highway Robbery. Mrs. Catherine Webber, a German woman who lives on Peru street, while trading at the west market, on Saturday evening, displayed a roll of sllO, which attracted the attention of three dis reputable looking fellows, who followed her as she started to got on a Washington street ear and snatched her purse. Her screams brought

patrolmen Shafer and McCain to her assistance, and the robbers were pursued for a distance of several squares. One of them, who gave the name of Thomas Wood, was captured iu a saloon on West street, and Charles Daubenspec, suspected of being one of the trio, was arrested early yesterday morning. Both were charged with highway robbery. The money was not recovered. REAL ESTATE DEALERS EMBARRASSED. Plansible Explanation Made by Mills Si Fullenwider of a Serious Charge. Thomas P. Mills and John C. Fullenwider, who were partuors in the real estate business a year or more ago, were arrested Saturday afternoon, by a deputy sheriff from Boone county, and were taken there for trial, on a warrant charging them with obtaining goods upon false pretenses. Both men are quite well known in this city, and their arrest occasioned no little surprise among their acquaintances. The trouble in which they are implicated, it is said, arises from the trade of a tract of land in Kansas to J. R. Stoops, of Lebanon, for a stock of dry goods. The consideration involved in the transaction was $3,000. Fullenwider and his wife executed the deed to the land, which, it is alleged, Stoops discovered some time afterward was the property of the Santa Fe Railroad Company. He wrote to Fullenwider about the matter, and was informed, in reply, that the land would be paid for as soon as he could obtain the money by the sale of the stock of goods. Fullenw ider claims that the land was in his hands for sale as an agent of the railroad company, and that the whole matter was plainly understood by Stoops at the time the trade' was made. However, Stoops says that Fullenwider has a certificate of sale for the land from the railroad company, which is still in his possession. Fullenwider and Mills dissolved partnership several months ago, and the latterelaims that he knows nothing more about the transaction than that he was called upon to acknowledge the deed to the land. Palled to Kill Herself. Maggie Lichtenthaler, an employe of Taggart's bakery,who disappeared on Friday night, leaving a note to her brother, in which she said she was going to commit suicide, returned on Saturday night—a little disfigured, but still in the ring —and refused to answer any questions as to her actions or intentions.
