ARP ON MILLENNIUM Bill Does Not Think Happy Time Near At Hand VERY SLOW WORK IN CONVERTING If All tho World is to Come to Christ Better Progress Will Have to lie nadc By Us. I believe the millennium craze 1ms subsided for awhile. Within my recollection it bobbed up three or four times and excited Rood people all over the country, for Rood people wish it to come an 1 live in hope and expectation. 1 remember when William Miller, of Massachusetts, had all New England excited, for he was a very learned ipan and a slncerer Christian and believed all that l.e professed. For t> n years he exhorted the people to be ready for the coming of Christ in 1S-13 and even fixed the day when they would see Him de- j s ending from heaven in magnificent glory and escorted by Moses and Elijah and a retime of angels. He had over 50,000 devited converts and the night before the promised day they arrayed themselves in white raiment and sang and shouted and prayed until morning and then climbed the high hills and the tree tops and the spires ( " the churches to meet Hiia as He noarcd the earth. Hut lie didei.t come and it nearly broke their hearts and they liked to have perished to death, for tin y had given away all their earthly possessions. Next came Dr. John ('uinmingsl a very learned minister of Condon, who wrote a book on it and fixed the millennial year a 18011. We were lighting over here about that time and the millennium bad t<? be postponed. The mil Ionium means 'he reign of Christ upon Mm o'irfl) fnr ?% mion r> .1 ?r, ...l. everybody will be good anil there shall be no more death nor pain nor sorrow, and there has not hern a century since His crucifixion that the religious people have not been looking for His coming, j The Christians got their belief from | the prophets of Daniel and from St. i John and St. Peter and later on from 1 Irenaeus and Justin Martyr and they [ delighted themselves with dreams of glory that was near at hand. Come of them declared th>re would be no more winters, no more nights and everlasting wells would run with honey and milk and wine. Jerusalem would be rebuilt and the fruits of the earth would be colossal and never dying. One notable writer said that every grape vine would have 10.000 branches and every branch 10.000 shoots and every shoot 10,000 bunches and every bunch 10,000 grapes and every grape would make 25 gallons of wine. Good gracious! how thirsty that fellow must have been. Hut the millennium dldent eome and by and by Origen. n very wise and good man. came along in the third century and declared that there would l>e no such grapes, hut that Christ's coming would he altogether spiritual.Still His coming kept on being predicted and when the reformation of Luther and Calvin came about they said that the pope was the anti-Christ and tho muionni..-, near at hand. Next came Oliver Cromwell. who excited his followers with a prediction of the mlllenium?and so it goes on and on and now it is about tome for another just as soon as we have done killing off the Phlllipines nnd England has killed out all the Boers. Well, now all these ruminations about the millennium were provoked hy what I have been reading about the recent discoveries of oil all over the country. One thought brings on another nnd if the coming of Christ is near at hand and His reign is to be a spiritual j one for a thousand years and there is to be no winter or night or sickness or i twin or sorrow we won't need all this t oil. neither for fuel or light. And so 1 j don't believe the millennium is very near. If all the people are to be converted and become good it will be a long time ofT. for it is a slow process and all the coal and oil that is in the bowels of the earth will be needed. It 1 wasent put there for nothing. Missionary work is going on more rapidly than ever before, but it is like a drop in a bucket of water. We have got 20.000 missionaries in heathen lands and they are aided by RO.OOO native preachers and teachers, but these 100,000 will have to convert an average for each of ten a year to make a million, and th*re are over a thousand millions of heath ens now and mom cominR on. Rut they <lo not convert half a million a year for the last report Rives only 4.000.000 all told. Last year we spent $20,000,000 on them and have now over 1.000.000 children Roinp to Christian schools and have 23,000 churches and over 1.000 secondary Schools besides medical c.olleRes and tralninp schools and hospitals and asylums for orphans and the blind and the insane and the lepers. They have cot almost evervthinR that we have Rot and now have protection in Constantinople and Pekln and Reirut and other great heathen centers. The work they have done in the last ten years is amazing and the abduction of ivliss Stone has increased their zeal. Thirty million dollars has been promised for this year and they say th'.t if we cannot convert them we can at least civilize thorn and teach them the doctrine of a clean shirt and a comfortable home, and these are tlie first lessons in rcliRion. The last official report tells us that more than half the pupils are Rlrls. For centuries women and girls have been under the ban and were of no mom consequence in the household than doRs or beasts of burden, but now they are beinR lifted up and treated with humanity and respect. If the wc rk of our missionaries accomplished no other good but the rescuing of woman from the degredation of ages it is worth ten times its cost. Cost! what is 1 the cost but the surplus of our wealth, and that surplus is not ours, but God's Libraries and colleges are good things to build up and foster, but how much do the millionaires give to the cause of missions? Most of this charity we are told came from those who are not worth one-tenth of a million. It is a lamentable fact that the more a man has the more he wants and the less he gives away in proportion to his wealth. The parable of Dives and Lazarus was in- I tended to alarm the rich and selfish. ; but most of them say give me a little more money and I will take the risk of j losing heaven. Paul said to Timothy: "Gain is not godliness, but godliness uiMi I- * - ?* ....... .wnniuuciii 13 circui K'Jin. tVO brought nothing into this world, and it is certain wc can carry nothing out and they who would bo rich rail into temptation and into foolish and heartfitl lrsts that east men into perdition. The love of money is the root of ail evil." There is a sermon to live by, hut it is hard to do. Somehow I can't help wishing 1 had a little more than I ha\o got? not for myself, but my wife would like a carriage and horses and ride around and take the grand children, snd she would like to have some money j of her own to give away and buy tittle presents without asking me every now and then for a dollar or two. She does hate to do that, and 1 don't let her when I have any to spare.?Bill Arp in Atlanta Constitution. Iowit ilpjt'itn Woman Sortnttc.

[HE STRIKE SETTLEMENT! Mediation Favored by the Leaders ot Boston's Labor Conflict. INFLUENCE OF GOVERNOR CRANE He I'reTBlled Upon tlie Strikers to Come to Term*? About 40,000 Men, Directly and Indirectly, Involved In tlie Strlko ?Teamster Who Shot Hoy la a Mob Discharged In Court?llualness A fleeted Boston, Mass.?Tlio representatives of great mercantile bodies of the city, seconded by the chief executives of the city and State in conference "with the recognized leaders of organized labor, have endeavored to end the great i 6trlke of freight handlers and kindred trades, represented in the Allied Freight Transportation Council. About 40,000 men were directly or indirectly involved in the strike. Mediation was decided upon at a conference in the office of Coventor Crane. The decision was immediately reported to the Allied Freight Transportation Council at a special meeting and unanimously indorsed. The proposed sett lenient was the outcome of an expressed determination of Coventor Crane and those repre seating tln? merchants of Iioston to brine all possible pressure to bear upon the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company to adopt the rules in foree upon the Roston and Maine Railroad, forbidding freight handlers to unload teams except at their own option and risk. The 1 trine Transportation Company, the loading and utiloadiiu; of whose non-union teams precipitated the strike of the New York. New Ilaven and Ilartford freight handlers, did not figure at all in the proposed settlement of the present controversy, and as far as that company Is concerned the sentiment anailist it on the part of the labor unions is as bitter as ever. Ui.der the new arrangements, however, uni >n men will not he required to load or unload its teams. It was found, however, that it was one tiling for the Strikers' Committee to declare the strike otT, hut quite another thing to make the laboring men believe that the matter had been settled satisfactorily. The feeling that they had been badly beaten was bitterly emphasized when upon reporting for work the men found that hardly .seventy-live per cent, of the old men could got their jobs back. This was especially the case with the freight iiiumii'i s, niTKS .inn Km^iiiii riuru. ?A i the three big railroad yards an enormous amount of freight was handled, lmt on tlie docks practically nothing was done. As the day wore on things assumed a bet tor look, and the longshoremen voted to return to work. The freight handlers formerly employed by the New York, New Haven and Ilartford and the Boston and Albany Roads voted not to return to work unless they were taken back in a body. The wool handlers took similar action. The Expressmen's Union voted to go back. The freight handlers of the Eoston and Maine Railroad voted to return, but inasmuch as the company already had a number of men at work in their places, many of the old employes did not succeed In regaining their former positions. It is believed that eventually they nil will regain their old positions. The teamsters had little trouble lt> getting their old places again and very little grumbling was heard from that quarter. The first bloodshed of the strike occurred when a Brine four-horse truck was going 10 me iiosion :iMti .Maine yards, in Cliarlestown. followed l?y a crowd of loon. Nearing City Square some boys threw stones at Driver (Jlaneey. Glnucey whipped out a revolver and fired point-blank into the crowd. The bullet struck Patrick Keefe, eighteen years old. in the fleshy part of the arm. <Jlancey was arrested. Altogether there was a much more vicious spirit shown by the strikers and list lights and stone throwing were a eommon sight. In court Judge P.rngg discharged fllnncey, and said that people who participate in mobs must abide by the consequences. If a man is driven to an extremity it is not rurprising if he adopts the usual means of defense. During the strike the attempt to move freight of any kind was almost fruitless. Tl'.o absence of coal deliveries was ke: illy felt in many places, especially by hotels, which depend on daily deliveries. Miners* Wbcc Sonic Mnlntninrst. Philadelphia.
