Hawthorne Preaches a Strong Sermon at First Baptist Kh| Church. |||p- Dr. J. B. Hawthorne, Hie famous ^?pBapti?t divine of Richmond, Ya., acraxraompanied by bis wife, reached New^fflS'borrv on Saturday where they will sir remain until Tuesday and then pro to Charleston to deliver liis lecture Hs on "Air, Sunshine and Out-door Liv'> On Sunday night Dr. Hawthorne K <preaehed a very strong sermon from B 2 Cor. 4:18, taking for his subject, Hi (< Seeing the unseen." We see things that are not seen, he ^ftsaid. The thinking man accepts it as ^^Kan eternal truth. Kvcn the visible ^^Raiul perishable things preach this ^^Kruth. The material eye can see only B^Vhe two sides of the silver coin, but gra^Bhe mind's eye sees vastly more. It B^Secs purchasing power, exchangeable BM^wiluc, gratified desires. Dr. HawEg|Kiornc further illustrated this truth Sfl^^y a miniature of his mother that KJ, hangs in his study. With the pliysiB?js|/'(?nl pye he conld see only the form, f^c-'bul his mind's eye could see the life of ministry and love. The American flag in a sense was only a piece of bunting on which ,K could be seen only so many stripes rtnd si a rs. but in that he saw his conntry with its commerce, agriculture, f</ institutions of learning:. literature, > works >!' ail. military and naval power, her commanding: position among the nations of the world. This, said the speaker, is infinitely true in the religious life. We look bevond the material to the immaterial. We see beyond I he visible world to ?. (|u. hidden power which made and j) moves it. Behind tlie perishing we | see the abiding. We see beyond the grave that over which the there is something more than we see. Faith's world is infinitely larger than I lie world of vision. The truth that the things which are seen are temporal and the things not seen are eternal, is written on every ? thing. What we see is short lived, what vye do not see is immortal. As ' we look upon all the reminders of I . decav and death if we are spritual i- we shall hear another voice saying. f? The things which are unseen an eter'& ill. tlie things that preach death preach immortality, the things that " tell us we must die, tell us that we ' shall live again, mortality shall be swallowed up of life. Radical changes are all the while going on in our physical being but there issomething within that does not chance. The unseen j elements of our being remain with us. L ? The fashions of the world e'l^inffe, the customs, the habits of the peojue, but I the human heart, mind and soul re-main forever the same. Amid the & changes there is in men every where an everlasting element, "The tilings which are unseen are eternal." I| There are varying manifestations, but the same life abides and throbs forever. There is something: out of sight to which we are always stretching our unsatisfied and aching hands. The body pints for the deliverance which lies beyond, the soul cries out for the future which is still nnreachn Vd. ("Sod has written eternity on j.'-^^evcrything.

P Then is it difficult to decide which should receive first consideration, MfO.ur best energies and time and al'fecI^M^tions? The seen is occupying the ifli.lthoughts, enlisting the energies, ahsorbing the affections of so many. Lil 'jj/Vtlo attention given to the soul, its f preparation for service in Ciod's kingBtt dom here and eternal felicity and glory hereafter. The way men pursue ^^Ltheir secular vocation indicates the ImA-alue they place upon the temporal ^PBhnd seen. Their pleasures are tcm?%||n>ral.

Sixteen thousand people maro.l to make Chicago "Dry." Greates temperance demonstration ever seei in the city. For mure than two hours Saturday afternoon, Sept. 2<>, a steady line ol enthusiastic believers in a saloonles: city, marched through Chicago's prin cipal streets, in a great temperane< and law-enforcement demonstration It is estimated Phat 200,000 person! watched the parade. Kvery march cr carried a United States' flag, an< many of those who reviewed the pro cession, waved flags as they cheered Press reports vary as to the nuiuhei of ipersons taking part in the parade hut the following figures probablv are not far from correct,: Number of persons in parade 1(5, 720.

The concise statistics on many o the placards were doubtless now ti many who read them. Other fact; represented in tableaux* were no los: impressive.

How Russia Obtains Naval Stores, r , A glance at the way in which naval stores are obtained in Russia serves l<> show what is likely !o happen in - this country when the longleaf pine forests, from which our naval stores for turpentine, rosin, tar, and pitch. I have been depleted. lied pine, called by the botanists - Pinus sylvestris. is the tree which the Russians exploit for rosin, as the longleaf pine of the Southern States 1 is exploited in this country. In se ( curing the rosin the Russians chip the 1 trees much as we do, but a far aiual' lcr yield is secured. Each years' chipping extends about r three feel vertically, and all the way around (lie tree except for ;i strip of j bark about two indies wide, just <nf- i t icient to keep I lie tree alive. Al'lerj five years' chipping this strip of! bark is also cut and the tree soon! dies. On account of the coldness of the climate where the red pine grows, (lie rosin does not flow readily, but liardr '"'is soon alter il exudes from (he tree. It is necessary, therefore, to ^ expose a large surface in order to get a sufficient yield. Nor does the rosin How lar enough to be caught in liquid form in "boxes" or cups, as' il does in this country. Therefore it j s has to be scraped off after il hardens. I he whole product, which amounts to (> only about two ounces a year from ( each tree, is comparable with the , "scrape" which forms only a small I part of ihe yield obtained in warmer climates. 1 Spirits ol turpentine and rosin are i) prepared from this crude resin by distillation with steam in the usual . manner. The tree is utilized further . than this, however. The outside _ slabs with scarred surfaces, to which some resin still adheres, are treated i either in the old fashioned pit kiln s or in closed iron retorts for the proe duction of tar, charcoal, and wood - turpentine. The rest of the tree is - used for fuel and for making the r> barrels in which the products are shipped. f Tt is possible that after our southr> ern turpentine pine becom'cs cummers ciallv extinct, some of the resinous s trees of the colder parts of the Uniti ed States may be utilized like the 1 red pine of Russia as a source of nas val stores, although the yield may be - small and the process tedious. 14 New Device For Rifle Ranges.
