Thal is the creed of' teng of tiousaiiis of peo t ple in this dIv. If you have a mind t( adopt such theory I will not. "I be heve in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesu Christ, and in the holy catholic church. and in the communion of saints. And IC the life everlasting. Amen." Oh, when I see Eleazar taking such a stout grip of the sword in the battle againsi sin and for righteousness, I come to ti conclusion that we ought to take a stout. er grip of God's eternal truth, the swori of' righteousness. As I look at Eleazer's hand I also no tice his spirit of self forgetfulness. 11c (lid iot notice that the hilt of the sword was eating through the palm of Ivs haid Ile (lid not know it hurt him. As lit went out into the conflict le was so anx. ious for the victory he forgot himself, and that hilt might go never so deeplj into the palm of his hand it could noi disturb him. "IIis hand Cave unto thc sword.'' Oh. my brothers and sisters, let us go into Christian conflict with tht spirit of selfr abnegation. Who caret. w hetier the world pralses us or deiouti cei use What do we care for misrepre I Suntation, or abuse or persecution in a conflict like this? Let us forget oursel. ves. That man who is afraid of ettin i his hand hurt will never kill a lhili. tine. Who cares whether you get hurt or not if you get the victory? Oh, how I many Christians there are who are all the tame worrying about the way the i world treats them. They are so tired, - and they are so abused, and they are sc 1 tempted, when Eleazer did not think 5 whether lie had a hand, or an arm, or t foot. All he wanted was victory. We see how men forget themselves it worldly achievement. We have ofter seen men who in order to achieve world. I ly success will forget all physical fatiguc L and all annoyance and all obstacle . ) Just after the battle of Yorktown, in thc I American Revolution, a musician, i wounded, was told he must have hit r limbs amputated, and they were aoul to fasten him to the surgeon's table for it was long before the merciful dis p covery of aitesthetles. Ile said, "No, I don't fasten tie to that t.able, get me v violin." A violin was brought to hiu - and he said. "Now go to work as I be - gin to play," and for forty minutes, dur > ing the awful pan,_s of amputation, h< move(l not a muscle nor dropped a not< > while he pla.yed some sweet tuie. Oh 3 is it not strange that with the music o the Gospel of Jesus Christ and with thit i grand nmarch of the church militant ot the way to become the church triumph ant, we cannot forget ourselves and for get all pang and all sorrow and all por secution and all perturbation? TlE ENDURANCE OF IEROIC MEN. We know what men accomplish undei worldly opposition. Men do not shrint I back for antagonism or for hardship You have admired Prescott's "Conques of Mexico," as brilliant and beautiful r history as was ever written; but some ol I you may not know under what (fisadvan. tages it was written-that "Conquest ol Mcxico"-ft r P'res.:ott was totally blind, andl he hand two pieces of Wood piarallel to each other Iastened, and totally blind, with his pen between those p:eces ol wood lie wrote, the stroke against one piece of wood telling how far the pen must go in one way, the stroke against the other piece of wood telling how ft the pen must go in the other way. Oh, how much men will endure for wvorldly knowledge and f'or' woirldly success, and Iyet, how lIfttle we endunre for .Jesuas Christ. Ilow many Christians there are that, gc around saving. "'Oh, my haind, my hanid, my hurt hand; don't, you see there It blood on the hand. and1( thiere is blood( on1 the swordiy" whuile Eleazar, with the hilt imbe(lhled in the flesh of his i'ighit hand, (10e8 not, know it,.

WO have got to expel from our churches Christians who eat, the sacra m1ent On Sunday antid deVOUr widow.' houses all the week. We hav! _ot to stop our indignation i-nainst the Ilittites Ald the .jubusites and the Geraishites, and let those poor wretches go, and ap ply our indignation to the modern tran -ressions which need t i be dIrangpd out, and slain. Ahabs here. lerods here. Jezebeils here. The muas,acre iff the inl. Canis here. Strike for God so hard that while you slay the sm t.he swor will adhere to your owi hand. I fell )ou, my friends, we want, a 1(w John Knoxes and Joh:- Wesleys in the Christian church today. Tbe whole tendency is to reline onl Christian work. We keel) onl reliiintg on it, until we sund a1)4o-1 VetiC WOrd W ilii13' %Ve are about to Cipture it.

Churches thmat shook our cities with great, revivis SW1din_ao il.otiI to ask sonic demonstrative w,)rshiper i' Ie will not plealse to Sty "1am1enl" and 'hallelujah"' a little softer. It seems as if in our churches we walnted a bap tism of cologne and halmn of a thoui and flowers, when we actually ieed a hapitim of fire From the Lord God of Pentecost. But we are so afraid some body will criticise our sermons, or crit icise our prayers, or crit,icisC our re ligious work ihat our anxiety 1,>r the wol ld's redemption is lost in the Fear we will get our hand hurt. while Eileazar went mnto the conllict, "And his hand clave unto the sword.'' But I see in the next place what a hard th-g it was for ElCazar to !et his hand and his sword parted. The m1luls cles and the sinews had been so long ,rasped around he smord lie could not drop it when he proose(l to drop it. and his three comrades, I supposi, come up and tried to help him, and they hathed the ba-_k part of the hand, iop. ing the sinews and muscles wtouhl relax. But no. 'lli-I hand Clave int.) the eword.'" Then they triedA to pull open tie lingers and to pull back the thumb; hut no sooner were thcy pulled back tin they closed again, "and his hand clave unto the sword."1 But after awhile they were successful. and then they noticed that the curve in the palm o! the hand corresponded exactly with the cut ve of the hilt. "llis haud Clave tIO 1he YoU Ind I have seen It. nmny a time. There are in the nited States to<lay mlany aged milisters of the Gospel. They are too feeble now to preach.

Ninw YORK, October 15.-The New i York Times and other morning papers to-day published news of which the fol lowing is the substance: John loey, who for the last forty years has been identilied with the Adans Express Company, and who for over three years c has been its president, wai yesterday ,t discharged from his high oflice by the n unanimous vote of the board of airec I tors on the charge of malleasance. e Clapp fSpooner, vice presi(lent of the compiny, a Bridgeport millionaire, who d occupied the president's chair whenthe . vote was cast to discharge lioey, and who voted for that discharge, handed d in his resignation, and it was accepted d for precisely the same reason for which llooy was discharged. The charges against Iloey anti Spooner, which brought about the above act.ion, are ' that they purchased the New York and ie Boston Dispatch Express Company and Is Kinsley Express Conpany for $560,000, er and turned them over to the Adams n. Express Contiany tor $850,000, and that )it the difference between these two te amounts was divided between Iloey r and Spooner, Henry Sherburne and .y ilenry C. Taft. Ie Ttm axposure was brought about by r a suit brouight by Sherbiurne against the other three men for an accounting 1Y and his share of the profits of the deal. 1loey's share of the profits is set down Ias $179,000, and Spooner's at 0172,0J.

KILLED AT HIS POST. THE UNTIMELY ENO OF POLICEMAN EAVES. 4hot Down While Attempting to Arrest a Drunken Man, also a P1olleeman-The Slaver, a ThIrd Policeman, Likewise Drunk. CIIILESTON, S. C., Oct. 12.-Police nan James W. Quinlivan shot and kill d Policeman Richard C. Eaves at the ioutheast corner of State and Queen itreets, between 11 and 12 o'clock last ight. The shooting grew out of a lrunken spree in which Policeman Juinlivan and .J. J. Duggan were en raged. It seems that both Quinlivan and Duggan had been drinking heavily dur rng the day, and when they went on u ty last evening at 7 o'clock they kept t up. Eaves's beat was East Bay be ow Broad street. Duggan was the a(I oing beat, that is East Bay above Broad, ond Quinlivan was stationed on State itreet. Shortly before 11 o'clock last night Quinlivan and Duggan left their beats and went down on Eaves's beat and began carousing and making a noise. L-aves went up to them and or dered then to leave his beat. R!ESISTINO AUREST. Duggan, who was the drunkest of the two, refused to go, so it is said, and Eaves, after repeating his orders in vain, Dalled upon Edward Doran to assist him, and promptly placed Duggan un Eler arrest, and tried, with Doran's as istance, to take him to the patrol box it the corner of l'hiladelphiaand Queen 3treets. Duggan objected strenuously to being at rested, and Quinlivan also protested in Duggan's behialf, but with. jit av4il. Eaves had taken Duggan as 1ar as the corner of Queen and State streeti, when Quinlivan, finding that tis entreaties were unavailing, and de termined to prevent Duggan's being sent to the Station House, attempted to release him by force. TilE KILLINO. 1.aves then drew his club and struck Qminlivan a heavy blow on the head, cutting the scalp and bringing blood freely. Crazed by the blow and drink Quinlivan jerked his pistol out of its holster and shot at Eaves once. The ball entered Eaves's head on the left side, just back of the temple, and death must have been almo2t instantaneous. Partially sobered by what he had done Quinlivan ran to the nearest patrol box and telephoned to the Station liouse for the patrol wagon. A IIORRIBLE S1IT. In the meantime Lieut. Ileidt and Sergt. McCaifrey had heard of the shooting and hastened to the spot. They found Eaves lying on his back on the pavement, his face turned up to wards the sky, a smile upon his lips, and both blood and brains oozing out of a ghastly wound back of the left temple. The blood trickled slowly down to the p!ivement, forming tiny pools in the hollows of the bricks. Duggan. oniti Quinlivan were stawli r mkr at hand. QUINLIVAN'S STORY. Quinlivan told Lieut. lIeidt that Eaves had struck him with his club and that lie then shot him. le also claims that Eaves drew his pistol on him, and, as Eaves's pistol was found lying on the pavement by the dead man s side, Quinlivan's story may be true. As soon as the patrol wagon arrived iAeut. Ifeidt, sent Quinlivan and Dug gan tip to the Station House where they were locked up. The coroner had in the meantime been notified of the killing, and Deputy Coroner Rivers went to the scene of the tragedy, and after viewing the body had it removed to the City 11 ospital, where the inquest will be held this morning. AN INvESTIGATION. Chief Golden was on the spot soon alt,er the shooting and made an inves tigation into the matter. It was ex eeedliugly dtillculit to find anyone who wold or could throw any light uponi the killing. Trhe only witness secured last night was Ed ward Doran, who had been as.sisting Eaves to take Duggan to the pat,rol box, anid who witnessed the iuarrei and consequent shooting. Ills uccounrt of what happened is substanti ally thle story as related above. Neither l)tggan nor Quinuivan wvas in a condi ion to be interviewed last night aft,er ieing locked up, so that It was impossi >le to learn their version of the shoot nig. lE MAN wilO WAS KLrLED). Eaves was a young man, with light ayes andi hair, of a ruddy comnpiexionl well built and bore an excellent and en viable reputation for sobriety and trict attention to his duty, lie came ~o Charleston two years ago from Sul Ivan County, Tennessee, and secured mpllloyment as a driver on the Enter trise Rtailroad. iIe remained in the mp)lloy of that company until June 4, 1891, when lie was appointed to the po. lee force, being very strongly endorsed ~or that position .1 ie wasa 23 years of tge andl unmarried. TilE MANSLAYElt. .James WV. Quini'van, the offHcer who did the shooting, was appointed ~o the force on June 22, and was also i years of age. J1. J. J)uggan, the cause )fthe shooting, Is the oldest man of hle trio arnd has been on the force for a onger timue. lHe was appointed July 7, 1889, and is 24 years old, lie is not what is known as a drinking man, care rully avoiding as a rule all intoxicating Liquors, but when he does begin to Irink he never stops until he is dr-unk.
