XXX Tteilly & Woods's bis show will be seen at the Empire matinee thiä afternoon. where It commences. a three days engage ment. rat Iteilly Is a favorite with in d.anapolls audiences. XXX Through the Breakers," Owen Davis's popular melodrama, which has been hand somely mounted by Manager Qua Hill, Is booked at the Park the last three days of the present week, following the run of -Hello Bill." William A. Brady has entered a denial of the published statement that he purchased for his wife. Grace George, the dramatic rights to Maurice Thompson's popular novel. "Alice of Old Vlncennes. Mr. Brady says his negotiations for the book were In behalt or anotner xeminine star. XXX II. D. Blakemore and George Macomber are the principal comedians in tho hilarious farco "Hello Bill," which will have its first presentation at the Park Theater this after noon. They ara surrounded by a capable company, including Richard Qullter, Augrey Noyes, Frederick Lauder, Ola Hum phreys, Eugenie uowen ana uaroiyn ree. XXX B. O. Flower, editor of the Arena, In an editorial in the February issue of that magazine says that, with the exception of Sarah Bernhardt, he has witnessed the per formance of no actress during the last twenty years whose Interpretation could compare as an artistic creation with Mrs. Flske's Becky anarp. XXX Eleanor Robson will be in tha supporting cast of Mrs. Sarah Coweil Le Moyne In the opening performance of the new play written lor her by F. Marion Crawford. This performance will be given In the Treraont Theater, Boston, Oct. 7. The play deals with the eventful life or "Widow Bcarron." Madame De Malntenon, the beautiful and accomplished favorite and wife Of Louis XIV of France. XXX Almost as much Interest Is being taken In the appearance of Miss Bertha Galland as James IC Hackett's leading woman in "The Pride of Jennico" at English's Friday and Baturday of the present week as in the appearance of Mr. Hackett himself, who is one of the most popular or American actors. Miss Galland has had so much said In Drais of her beauty and talent that local theatergoers ar keenly anxious to see her for themselves. XXX A few good seats for tho single performance of "The Rogers Brothers in Central Park" at English's Opera House to-night tili remain at the box office. This attrac tion has cauEed an unprecedented amount of Interest locally in view of the fact that Its promoters claim nothing more for it than that it is a delightful grouping together of bits of nonsense. Messrs. Klaw & Erlanger have evidently made a shrewd study of the American theatergoing public ana lis preierences. xxx The International Projecting Company has engaged Tomllnson Hall for the afternoon and night of Feb. 15 and 17 in order to give four exhibitions of their moving rlctures that are claimed to be reproducions of views of the Passion Tlav at Oberamraergau, Bavaria. These pictures were. It Is said by the management, prepared under the supervision of Professor Alexis, Oi Oberammergau. and it Is claimed th.it nearly t.two feet of nlm is used In the en tertainment. XXX Frances Aymar Matthews's rathetlc lit tle story entitled "A Little Tragedy at Tien Tsin." published In Harper's for November, 1500, will be dramatized and given a hand come production by W. A. Eradv next son. The play will bo used by Miss Grace George as a "curtain raiser" to the new drama selected for her use next season, the name of which has not yet been announced. Miss George ill Impersonate a Chinese slave Irl who is enamored of n young American, but has been sold by her xatner to an oiu mercnunt. xxx The next concert given by the Amphlon Club will be rendered unusually brilliant and attractive by the return of the great baritone Herr Joreph S. Uaernsteln. whose triumph at the German House earlier in the present season Is still the talk of local musical circle. Heir Riertmtein n.iriiii. Icrly commended himself to popular favor by his magnanimity in taking almost the entire burden of the event upon himself wen li was unnoum.cn at the last moment that Mme. Charlotte Marconda. the costar, could not com to In.iianai.olls on account et a railroad wreck. xxx William II. West has the distinction this season. It is claimed, of offering the most expensive and hlghet class minstrel organization that has bet-n nen in this country In many seasons, llii comedians are

and Charles Whalen. and the vocal "num bers will re Riven hv Richard J. Joe. J. P. Rodger. Manuel Romain, W. H. Hallett and others. The olio will contain acts by the Waterburv brothers and Tenny. the Rio brothers. TeaJ and Whalen and the l)e Elmar trio. Tho engagement Is for a single performance to-morrow night at Lnglisn s Opra House. XXX The last opportunities of witnessing Capt. Louis Sorcho's entertaining exhibition of the perils and fascinations of a deep-sea diver's occupation at the German House will be afforded this afternoon at 2:13 and to-nleht at 8:15 o'clock. Captain Sorcho is assisted by a considerable company of men versed In the art of sa diving ana gies hU demonstration in a big tank Of StCfl and glass which Is skillfully and artistical ly illuminated by Incandescent lamps, ine exhibition cleverly comblnfs instruction and amusement and has naturally attracted a great deal of attention during its Drier stay In the city. XXX The sale of seats for the performance of the Sembrlch Opera Company will begin at D. 11. Baldwin & Co.'s this morning, and a great demand is anticipated, as Sembrlch Is the foremost singing artist of tho world, and there is great curiosity to hear her. The subscription sale of seats, which closed Saturday night, more than met expectations. Mme. Sembrlch and her company, which includes famous European operatic artists, will give a single performance of Donizetti's melodious opera. 'Don Pasauale." at English's one week from to-nizht. This work has not been heard in Indianapolis during the present generation of theater-goers. XXX The Grand has not had a stronger vaude ville bill since the opening of the new sea son than that provided for the current week, beginning this afternoon. Severus Schaffer, of the renowned family of Schaffers, jugglers and equilibrists, who won fame at the world's fair in Chicago, heads the list of strong attractions. An other leading number will be a clever playlet performed by Will M. Cressy and Blanche Dayne. formerly of "The Old Homestead." The rest of the entertain ment will be furnished by Bertie Fowler, Johnson, Davenport and Lorello. Weston and Herbert, Louise Dresser and her pickaninnies. Jack Norworth and the comiograph with humorous colored moving pictures. xxx To-day and to-morrow the Zoo will be turned over to the Ancient Order of Hibernians and the efforts of the women to make the benefit a success are expected to produce large results. The Red Men and Daughters of Pocahontas are hard at work arranging for their benefit Friday. The Alrha Home for Aged Colored W omen will ne priven the proceeds of Thursday's ac tivities at this amusement institution. For the Red Men's benefit a special programme lias been arranged. There will be a. quar tet. C. Ii. Hicks, of Lebanon, will act as zoological lecturer. Harry Waters, the Original 'Raptus," will bo a feature. The committees are; Printing, O. E. Sherman and F. G. Castor: entertainment. Mrs. Helle Arlmann. Mrs. Hattie Hopkins, II. C. Preha and J. P. Stcarn. xxx This city Is to have opportunities in the near future of hearing two singers who are very near the affections of Its musically Inclined people. The Symphony Orchestra has engaged for Its next concert Mrs. Morris Black, better known as Miss Sarah Layton Walker, who has for the past few years resided In New York, but who none the less belongs to Indianapolis. John H. Stem, to whom belongs the credit for enabling tbo people of Indianapolis to hear tne great Theodore Thomas orchestra at least once every year, has secured as an extra attraction for the next appearance of the orchestra at English's Opera House Maren li the famous and popular Elnger Marguerite Lemon. Vlthout exaggeration Indianapolis has never been more greatly ravored musically than during the present season. XXX Manager Harry Feicht, of the Park Thea ter in Dayton, O., was in the city yester day arranging for his lecture at the Grand Opera House next Sunday night on the sub ject of "Oberammergau; Its People and Its Passion Play." Mr. Feicht frankly admits that he is' not equipped with a series of moving pictures of the famous dramatic performance as It is actually given by the peasants or tne celebrated uavarlan village ror tne very excellent reason that the tak ing of such views is strictly inhibited. He is, nowever, possessed of two hundred ex cellent colored stereopticon views of inter esting scenes in and about the village of Oberammergau and of the principal per sonages wno appear in the historic nlav. This lecture has met with a hearty reception wherever It has been given, one of Mr. Felcht's largest and most enthusiastic audiences being in his own city of Dayton. ASSAULTED IN A BEEK GARDEN. C. F. Wilson Says It Occared in Wei Stoat' place. A man giving the name of C. F. Wilson, of Cincinnati, went to the City Dispensary yesterday morning and asked to have a gash in his head sewed up. He said he had been in Wes Stout's saloon and gar den, on West Market street, and was assaulted by an unknown man, who robbed him or a small sum or money. SALOONS OPEN. In Some Instance Entrance Could Be Secnred Through Front Doorsy Tho saloons of the city were invariably open yesterday, and many or them could be entered through the front doors.

A FUSION OF CHURCHES

THIS KUV. C. W. TINSLEY DISCUSSES THE PROPOSITION. Only In Co-Opcrntlon for Good Can It Be Brought About Other Church Services. The Broadway M. E. Church pulpit was occupied yesterday morning by Rev. C. W. Tinsley, and he delivered an Interesting sermon on the Important subject, "Shall the Denominations Fuse?" He took for his text John, 17-21: "That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art In me and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that Thou hast sent me." In part Rev. TInsley said:' "Tho'se were the words of Christ In His last earthly prayer. The last supper had just ended, Hi3 disciples were gathered about Him in the upper guest chamber, the shadows of His tragic, end upon His soul, and for the first time Ho prayed In their presence and for them. It is known as the high priestly prayer, because It was not only intercessory, but is consummated In the sacrifice of himself on the cros3. It voices the desire of every Christian heart. We hear a great deal about union cf believers. Much of it is wise and much otherwise. We want to consider what is the truth. DIVISIONS IN THE CHURCH. "We will notice briefly the history of divisions in the Christian church. Only twenty years after, the church was founded there came near being a disrup tion over circumcision. The church would have separated Into Jewish and gentile if not for the wisdom of the council in Jerusalem. A short time after the same question produced the temporary alienation of Peter and Paul. In Corinth party spirit. which marked philosophical schools of Greece, created four divisions, named after Faul. Apollos. Cephas and Christ, in a sec tarian sense. There were many scnisms before and after the council of 225 A. D. The defeated party, usually excommuni cated, rormed a new sect, incn in ine ninth century the church sdIU in twain on doctrinal questions of procession of the Hoiy linost and primacy or the rope, ana thus Greek and Roman remain to-day. The Pop Is a.t the head of the Roman and the Czar of Russia of the Greek. They are the greatest rivals in Christendom. The Sul tan of Turkey still holds the keys of the Holy Sepulchre and the Turkish soldiers keep watch to prevent Greek and Latin monks from fighting on the sacred spot during passion week. "In view of this neither of these churches should have auteht to say about divisions of Protestantism. Then, about the six teenth century, the Roman (Hestern) Churcn split during the reformation into Roman and Protestant. Then the Protest ant3 became three divisions Lutheran, Reformed and Anglican. The first two re mained on the continent. Southern Europe and Ireland remained Catholic. In France and Holland the Protestants were tolerated by the edict of Nantes. 159S. which was re voked in 1685. In Holland Protestantism finally gained control and England and Scotland became Protestant. Then, if we consider England alone, we find divisions again after the act of toleration of. 16SS. The Presbyterians, Independents, Baptists and Quakers were dissenters. The Episcopal Church was the establishment In Eng land and Presbyterian In Scotland. COMING OF FREEDOM. "This toleration gradually became free dom, and was extended to all. Under the reign of freedom there Is no limit to mul tlpllcatlon of denominations, and there should be none. With gift of freedom comes risk of its abuse by sinful and erring men, and therefore we find the largest number of denominations in England and America, where there is the greatest relig ious freedom. On the continent of Europe It is different in Roman Catholic countries. where freedom Is denied. In the United States, where all denominations are on a basis of- freedom and equality before the law, we find many divisions, and the religious census of lsyO shows 143. But 119 fall into eighteen groups, leaving twenty-four separate and distinct denominations. Thus really there are forty-two different divisions. It is a remarkable tact that in England, though it has an established church, there are more denominations than in the United States, the 1S'J2 census showing 254. "Shall all these fuse into one great organization, one head, one government? We are often told that this is the very thing for which the Saviour prayed, and that His dying wish should be accomplished. But what was it for which he prayed? Let us look into the New Testament for the answer. Of course, unity is involved in every proclamation of the kingdom of God. There cannot bo two kingdoms, any more than there can he two üings. The apostles taught that the church- is the body of which Christ 13 the head. But we must remember that this unity was not organic. It Is undtr one government. Churches of the New Testament were all organized locally. No external bonds bound them together: no central authority ruled them. Jerusalem had no authority over Antioch, and vice versa. The apostles went forth to evangelize the world and not to rule it. Nor was this unity one of uniformity. Of course, there was much similarity, but while they were much alike in organization, forms of worship, details of faith, baptism. Lord's supper, singing psalms and reading Scriptures, yet the similarity is not uniformity, t Nor was there unity one of singleness of origin. CHRISTIANS SCATTERED. "The churches spread by scattering Christians abroad, who took their gospel with them. Nobody cared whence a church get Its origin, as that made no difference. No one knows who founded the church at Rome, but the Catholic friends say Peter did. No one can prove that he ever saw Rome. Therefore our Lord did not pra for any oneness of mere external organization. He had a deeper and a better meaningthe unity based on communion with Him. "The word church In the new testament usage always dignities the whole company of God's people in all times and places. But if the denominations may not fuse into one organic bod3 mav they not fraternize in loving and helpful sympathy? Shall the religious denominations federate? By a federation we mean a union of different churches, each retaining Its own freedom and independence in the management of its own affairs, but all recognizing each other as sisters, and- co-operating in general enterprises, such as tho spread of the gospel at home and abroad, defense of faith against infidelity, the elevation of poor and neglected, of society, works of philanthropy, charity and reform. "Suppose Indianapolis were to havo a federation of all churches for the doing of some things, such as seeing that laws are enforced against saloons, gambling, prostitution. Sabbath desecration; how blessed, how revolutionizing the effects would bo. Thl3 is not a vain dream. It is already in the thought of the churches. It will be made actual to-morrow, and, perhaps, sooner than we anticipate. Then we shall be one, not in outward organization, for that will never be, but one in sympathy, one in co-operation for the overthrow of evil." THE WORK OP VERDI. Rev. II. C. Meserve's Remarks Auent the Great Composer. At Plymouth Church, last evening the rastor. Rev. II. C. Meserve, talked interestingly of the life and works of the Composer Verdi, who recently died. A fine musical programme was rendered. The rastor, among ether things, said: "It Is extremely difficult. IndeeJ, an accurate impossibility, at this near distance to give a reliable estimate and worthy of such a life as that of the composer Verdi. Born in Italy In the samo year as Wagner, 1S13. for more than sixty years he has held the chief place In the musical circles oi his native land. His father was an innkeeper and confectioner In a little vlllase. Roncole by name, and here by his twofold occupation he manuged to keep soul and body together and give his boy. early inclined to music, something of a start in hl chosen profession. He received somi slight instruction from an old violin player and was apprenticed to the organist of the viUage church with whom he remained till tu was eighteen, earning, som years, as much as J'-U He now went to Milan and upon presenting himself to the conservatory found entrance denied him becauso of hi

nsufficient DreDaxation. Shortly afterward

the young man attracted the attention of musical people to himself by successfully conducting, without previous rehearsal, Haydn's 'Creation,' and thereafter through success and failure came to his place In the van of Italy's composers and of this age. His first work 'Oberto dl San Bonifacio,' r.roduced In lJsd, while not a success wa3 uuiekly followed by other and more successful operas. Verdi has had four period. broadly speaking, of production. Atter ni early operas there was a period of sllenoe till 1S51 to lis55. when he gave to the world 'Trovatore' and 'La Travlata.' In a letter to a friend who asked him why he did not produce another opera he said, 'Because for the time being I consider the dolce far niente the most suitable thing for both body and mind.' Ihen came Aida in liiJ, of which more later and this sweet dream ing was productive of great good. For :3 no other composer ne kept aoreast or nn time and adapted himself to the greater school of music which his contempore Wagner had inaugurated. Thl3 was mani fest in his latest operas, 'Otello' and 'Falstaff.' lv7 and The effect of thi. growth is marked With all his work and with all his growth Verdi's life after the opening years of struggle was a singularly sweet and peaceble one. He not oniy gained honors, he gained friends. He not only thought good, he did good. hen Ishmall Pacha offered him J2U.Q00 to write the score of an opera he produced 'Aldi.,' one of his best, and with this money and a certain portion of the income from hts works he founded at Milan the 'Casa dl Riposo or 'house of rest for indigent Ital ian artists. Not only as a composer but as a philanthropist and as a citizen was Verdi beloved and for the gracious virtues of private life which made him a warm friend and genial companion. 'Count Cavour, Italy's great statesman forty years agJ, made him a life member of the Italian Senate in recognition of this manifold per sonality. In the beautiful chapel within the garden of the home he founded the tenement of the music filled soul is laid to test but the song rings on from the lips ar.d in the hearts of many. "Comment may seem superfluous, but I have this to say by way of explanation of his life. First he sent into the world a song from a music filled soul. Second, this cong was tuned to the divine and eternil harmonies. It was therefore fragrant with the breath of truth and sweet with the love for men. So It found its ministry in tho hearts of men and lifted weary souls to the heights so far away that they seemed never to be able to scalo them without euch aid. His life, therefore, was one of God s ways of expressing his love and good will to men. WASHINGTON AXD LINCOLN. Rev. Slarlon Crossley Shows Effect of Their Live on Their Country. The services at thd Central Universalist Church ' were devoted to the memory of Abraham Lincoln yesterday morning. The pastor. Rev. Marlon Crossley delivered an eloquent sermon, comparing in their various phases the lives of Washington and Lincoln, and showing how the true religious element dominated In their characters. "God's impulses throbbed within them" he said, "God's spirituality permeated their characters guiding them aright in the great things to which their hands were dedicated by Providence, leading them onward and upward to those mighty things which they were to accomplish. God loves man; His heart throbs in unison with ours. His sympathies Include the world through all tho ages of time and He rejoices when a man is found out of the multitude to lead His children into a higher and nobler life. Men who believe In God and honor Him in all things have made the great successes of history. All lives, white or black, bond or free, are included In God's plan, and no relations of birth ,or breeding, and no claims of men to high or low degree are considered in His estimate. Every man has a place to fill, and he Is honored by God in His selection, oome men are made to lead, and of these were Joshua and Moses. and Washington and Lincoln. They were the agents chosen by the MasteY. and In so far as their lives and characters meas ured up to the task, is their immortality among men measured. Herpism. too, is the basis of most great actions. No man can do a transcendent deed if he is not heroic, for the accomplishment of such a deed re quires sacrifices manifold. The heroism of the Puritans helped to give us the contirent of America; the heroism of Washington gave us a republic; the heroism of Lin coln preserved it to us. God was as instrumental in e hosing Washington and Lincoln to- lead the American people through their dark hours as He was in choosing Moses and Joshua to lead the Jews of old. v e should keep the memory of the lives and deeds of such men as these fresh In our minds, and. as far as we are fresh we should model our lives after theirs, for tney were tne embodiment of the hiehest and best in the character of American ine. EVANGELIST JOHNSON. lie Begins a Series of Slectlnga at IIoyt-Avenne Sletliodlst Church. R. E. Johnson, an evangelist, began con ducting revival services at the Hoyt-ave-nue Methodist Church yesterday morning. The revival meeting will be carried on every afternoon and evening and will con tinue for two weeks. At the meeting yesterday morning Mr. Johnson spoke on "Prayer." In the intro duction of his sermon he ald that he uaed no surplus words. He speaks almost In monosyllables, using the simplest words available. His mode of speaking Is to se lect some verse in the Bible which fits the thought he wishes to bring out, and after reading this ne explains it In so simple a manner that it can be easily understood by any one. Among many th'.ngs, he told of the great revival which was started In 15S by one man going by himself to some secluded place to pray. Later he was joined by another and finally there were so many that it took one of the largest halls in New York city to hold the crowds that gathered. This kept growing until it extended all over the country. Mr. Johnson further said: "It Is only through prayer that we can be saved. I don't .care how bad or how good you are you must humble yourself before God before He will listen to you. Ihe trouble is too many of vs want to be saved without mending our ways but keep on going deeper ana ueeper into sin. I will tell you that the days of miracles are not over, and that our prayers are answered the same to-day as they were in the time when Christ was on this earth. The devil has been practicing for over six thousand years and ho knows his business and to get rid of him we havo got to get down before God and let Him search our hearts and pray to him in secluded prayer. Do net think that wo have to get un in nub ile and pray loud and long to be saved, but go somewhere oy yourseir, away from the world and shut yourself up with God and you will see how sweet the reward will be." Right Kind of Sobriety. At the North Congregational Church last night Rev. O. C. Helming delivered a ser mon on "Sobriety and Our Duty to Our selves." He said: "Sobriety means a much larger thing than to avoid strong drink. People used to think that to become sober and keep away from temptation they must retire from the world. Jesus Christ did not do this; He sought out men wherever they were to be found. Very often fathers and mothers, in trying to shield their children from the sins of the world, will keep them from all. places of amusement and often will not send them to certain colleees because of the broadness of the teaching mere, ana, in iaci, tney Deiieve in keeping them In ignorance. Jesus Christ did not do this, neither did He draw the line at any ining or tnis Kina. jic mingled with the world. Some people will try to argue that when the Bible says that Christ turned water Into wine It means that He did something else, but it don't; it means exactly what it says. Another' thing, people should be able to control their passions and tneir appetites, cnrisi gained self-control, and He taught it to ail who believed in Him. Muslo nt Roberta Park. The service of music and song at Roberts Park Church last night, in charge of the Choral Society,, was listened to by a large congregation. Charles F. Hansen, the wellknown ergänzt, was present .and by request rendered the "Piljfrlms' Chorus," by Wagner, an u a looked for feature thac caused mucn enjoyment. Objected to Sundny Sleal. Tat Connelly, of SO North New Jersey street, was slated by the bicycle police at headquarters yesterday for assault upon his wife. lie was somewhat under the influence of liquor when he went home about i n m. for dinner and objected to th mrii his wife had prepared.

WIT AND WISDOM MIXED

A LAHCiK AtDIKNCE AT T11H 3IE-UIDIAX-STHEET ClIl'llClI. Dr. Qnayle Talks Plainly to Ills Hearer, Causing Them to Both Laugh and Think. Dr. Quayle's Ingenious manner of ming ling wit and wisdom, entertainment and Instruction in hi3 sermons has caused the tide of church-goers to set towards Meri dian-street Methodist Church with such strength that last night many extra chairs had to be placed in the aisles and in tho space at the rear of the auditorium In or der to accommodate the Immense congre gation. A feature that also helps to make this church a pleasant place In which to pass a Sunday evening is the excellent quartet that provides a new and enjoyable musical programme each week. The keynote of Dr. Quayle's discourse last night was "You have got to have faith in folks in order to be able to please them." He took as his text, "Without faith it !s impossible to please God." In the course of his sermon the minister, without men tioning his name, took occasion to Indorso tho statement made recently by Mr. Milburn that the supposition that he was easily fooled was the highest tribute his character had ever had. Dr. Quayle said in Part: , "Tnere are not as many liars as you ana I thought there were. I say there are dis honest people, but there are a great many honest people. You cant appeal to ioiks unless you believe in them. You can t teach your child he Is a chronic liar ana then believe him. I have known parents who' would systematically spat their chil aren not box them. PARENTS CRITICISED. Here the speaker condemned parents who persistently question their children's words on certain things, saying "Now Mary, are you telling mamma the truth about that? Ais ;uu DUio j ua ikiuna v.u.... He said there could not be a better way to make a prevaricator out of a child than this constant insinuation that it is not tell lng the truth. Ho continued: "Shame on the mother that treats a child that way. Time enouarh to believe a child Is u. liar when you know she is beginning to take alter you. Lausrhter.i 1 say no par ent has any business, no teacher has any Lusiness, no lawyer, has any business, no newspaper man nas any business to raise any question about people s veracity unui reotle have clven themselves a sort of unho y navor as being evil, it is not ngnt to susDect reonle.

It is God's infinite mercy that most of us are born with someooay tnat &e Hoves in us. Some mother stands by us. tome mother is partial to us, some mother loves us almost to death, but not wnouy.

Oh, it seems to me that ir I were a Doy witn a mother I would let my right hand forget its cunning and I. would let my left hand fcrget its nerve and might before I would let my mother s hope In me. neuer in me und expectation for me die. Young man, keep your life very clean, your motner De litres in you. Keep your life very pure, your father believes in you. Life runs by faith. Somehow or otner at tne nd you must always know, you must como to this, that to believe men, to get on with fnlV. .Mt Tntict hsvo alth In tViom A PARTNERSHIP WITH GOD. "Life Is a partnership with God when It is at its best, and partners cannot get along unless they have mutual confidence. In other words, faith in one's life and faith In other people's lives is absolutely essential in order to get along in the world. When General Grant grasped the armies of the Union in one hand and massed them and pressed them forward then the Union was saved. When a certain great duke in England framed a plan whereby the Cabinet of the King should be of one party instead of two parties, then all the mongrel and vicious quarreling ended, and the government began to move as though its wheels had been oiled and there was no friction. It is absolutely essential that people who work together shall have unified action. If you have faith in God you and God will get along well together. There will be no loss, no friction, no wasted energy nothingIf you have faith In God you will find cut that all your energies will bring ounce for ounce, pound for pound, ton for ton, according to your exertion. You will find that you will discover for yourself remunerative returns. I wonder who would like to please God. I wonder if there is anybody in this company who would not care to please the King of the earth. Kings can have you kneel at their thrones and they can make knights of you. They can make you earls and lords. They can make you rulers over kingdoms. God can do better than that for you. He can give you a clean heart. He can forgive your sins." PIE FOR BREAKFAST. Dr. Quayle referred to. the disagreeable habit people often have of laughing at others who do not act Just as they do. He said he had noticed waiters in hotels wink at each other and smile when a guest ordered pie at breakfast. "Why shouldn't a man have pie at breakfast If he wants it?" asked the minister. He said he had been in a sleeping car and seen people nudge each other, smile furtively and say, "Another Indianlan has turned up." "God never laughs at us," continued the speaker. "He never makes quips at what we do. If you have faith in Him everything you do He likes." The concluding words of the sermon were particularly beautiful and touching. Dr. Quayle said: "I think a wistful look In the eye Is the saddest thing that ever brought tears to the cheeks. God is looking at these women here . to-night wistfully. He wants their best service. JSome women care more for an invitation to a party than, they would for a front room in heaven. Laughter.J God is looking wistfully at you. Look His way and answer Him. You, young man, with your strength, God Is looking wistfully at you, and He wants your strength. He wants your nights and days. He wants your genius. He wants your unknown potencies. He is looking wistfully. O you men and women of maturer yearst God is looking wistfully at you. You are wasting your own life. Some old men and women in this company, you have wasted your life, you are like a withered leaf, you have no fruit of holy purpose in your life, you swear when you ought to pray. God is looking wistfully at you." PRIEST FE01I IRELAND. Iter. Peter J. Cnnler at St. John's A Pamphlet Distributed. Rev. Teter J.

THE SIXTH ANNIVERSARY SERVICES HELD AT FinST GERMAN EVANGELICAL CI1UUC1I. Grovrth of the Protestant Deaconess Society in This City Character of Services. Interesting services were held last night In the First German Evangelical Church, at the corner of New York and East streets, in celebration of the sixth anniversary of the founding in this city of the Protestant Deaconess's Society. Rev. J. C. Peters, pastor of Zlon's Church, Is largely responsible for the present flourishing condition of the society. He has been its president continuously ever since It was organized In his church in 1395, and with the exception of a brief period has also served as superintendent of the hospital until the 12th of January, the present year, when he was relieved from this latter duty at his especial request, on account of his other duties as pastor of Zlon's Church occupying so much of his time. The new superintendent. Rev. J. C. ;Nestel, came to this city from Utica, N. Y., .and has been carrying forward the work. although his formal Installation or "consecration," asjthe ceremony is termed, was deferred until yesterday In order that it might be coincident with the anniversary ceremonies. Mr. Nestel is not a newcomer to Indiana, having been pastor of the German Lutheran Church In Madison. Jefferson county, years ago. He Is a man of pleasing personality and broad culture, and It Is felt that the society has been extremely fortunate in securing him for the important post of superintendent of the new hospital. When the Deaconess Society was organized in 1S05 with the purpose of establishing a hospital and retreat for the aged, the work was begun In the old frame dwelling on Senate avenue Immediately north of the present building, where it was continued until April S, 1S9, when the present handSome brick structure on tho corner of Senate avenue and Ohio street was completed, and the twelve patients that were being cared for In the temporary building were removed into .the more commodious and comfortable quarters provided In the new building. HAD SIX PATIENTS. The society commenced with six patients and has enlarged Its facilities until now the average is forty-five. Last year 531 were treated. The new hospital is so completely equipped that many wealuty people avail themselves of the superior treatment provided. These, of course, make adequate recompense for the care received by them. The Home for the Aged has eight Inmates. The new hospital building was built and equipped at a cost of J54,(XX)f which amount is increased to fcso.OOO by the remainder of the society's property, the latter amount representing its capital or Investment. The large debt under which the organization struggled at tho outset has, by tht unremlttent energy of its members, been reduced to $21,0W. The hospital Is divided into four wards, one for men, one for women, and the medical and surgical wards. General Robert S. Foster and family have fitted up a beautiful private ward, called "the Violet Ward" on account of its style of decoration, violets having been favorite flowers with the late Miss Foster. Other wards have been equipped by the reformed churches of the city and by Mrs. Fred I. Rush. Tho Dorcas Club has furnished a sewing room and children's room. The single apartments were fitted up by different churches, lodges and Individuals of Indianapolis. The nursing is done by deaconesses, who are in reality Protestant "sisters" and. as there are only eleven of these in this city a school for training nurses has hepn opened in addition to the one for fitting cteaconesses for their work. Many of the best physicians of the city have given their time and services as instructors in thee departments. Patients mav be treated by the regular physicians attached to the hospital or they may be attended by their own doctors if they prefer. The society's excellent financiil condition Is shown by the last report which places the active membership at 470. each or thee contributing annual dues .of U. The Ute members number forty-eight, who have Kald $00 each. There are also twenty-one onorary members, who have contributed 3W or more HAS GROWN IN FAVOR. The Protestant deaconess work was Introduced into the United States In ISO and has grown in favor so much that now there is scarcely a city of importance in which a Deaconess Society Is not to be found. The deaconesses are all trained nurs.es and, while they have taken certain vows to the Lord, they are at liberty to give up their work whenever they feel inclined. It is a rare thing, however, for one of them to avail herself of this privilege. The anniversary st-rvie. last night were characterized by eloquent and interesting addresses and by an exceptionally fine musical programme. Several organ voluntaries were rendered by Prof. Tromel, who had general charge of the mujlc. The address of welcome was delivered by Rev. Frederick Rausch, pastor of the First German Evangelical Church. Rev. Kalbfleisch
