In thia discourse Dr. Ttthnngo calla
fill people to . gladness ",ul ?l)ens uU
(tho doora of expeotancy; texts, Qen
csls vi., 18, "Come;" Revelations xxil.,
.(17, "Come."
Importai, te nd cy- and all persuasive
Ks tho word "Come." Six hundred and
eeventy-oight times it is found in tho
iSor?ptureff. lt stands nt the front
ffato of tho Ululo as in my first text,
nvitlug antediluvians into Noah's ark,
and it atauds at tho other gate of tho
tBiblo ha in my second text, Inviting
[tho posldiluvian? of nil later ages
into the ark of a Saviour's mercy.
"Como" is only a word of four let
ters, but it ls tho queen of words,
?nd nearly tito entire nation of Kng*
v?llsh vocabulary bows to its scepter.
Ut ls an ocoan into which empties 10,
000 rivera of meaning1. Other words
drlvo, but this beckons. All moods of
feeling hath that word "Come."
Sometimes it weeps and sometimes it
laughs. Sometimes it prays, some
times it tempts, and sometimes it de
stroys. It sounds from tho door pf
"tho church and from tho seraglios of
Bin, from tho gates of Heaven and
tho gates of boll, lt is oonflucnt and
ocerosccnt of all power. It is tho heir
ciis of most of tho past und tho ?1
moner of most of the futuro. "Cornel"
You may pronounce it so that all tho
heavens will bo heard in its endeucos
or pronounco lt so that all tho woes
of time and eternity ?hall reverberate
In its ono syllabic, lt is on the lip
of saint and profligate. It is thc
mightiest of all solicitants cither for
good er bad.
To-day 1 wolgh anchor and haul in
the planks and set sail on that great
word, although I nm snro I will not
bo able to reach tho farther shore.
1 will let down thc fathoming line
Into this sea and try to measure its
depths, and, though I tie together ull
tho cables and cordage I haTo on
board, I will not bc nblo to touch bot
tom. All the power of tho Christian
religion is iu that word, "Como." Tho
dictatorial and oommeudatory in re
ligion aro of no avail. Tho impera
tivo mood ?B not tho appropriate
mood when wo would have people sav
ingly impressed. They . may be
ooaxod, but they cannot bo driven.
Our hearts aro like our homes; at
a friendly kuook tho door will be
openod, but an attempt to forco open
our doors would laud tho assailant
In prison. Our theological seminaries),
which koep young men three years in
their curriculum before launching
them into tho ministry, will do well
if in BO short a Hmo they can teach
the candidates for tho holy ollicc bow
to say with right emphasis and into
nation and power that ono word,
"Cornel" That man who has such
efficiency in Christian work and that
woman who has such power to per
suado peoplo to quit tho wrong and
begin the right went through a series
of losses, bereavements, persecutions
and tho trials of 20 or 30 years be
fore they oould make it a triumph of
graoe ovcry timo they uttered the
word "Como,"
You must remember that in many
eases our "Come" has a mightier
"Como" to oonquor before it ha^ any
effect nt all. Just givo mo tho accu
rate census, tho statistios of bow
many are down in fraud, in drunken
ness, in gambling, in Impurity or in
vice of any sort, and I will give you
tho accurate census or statistics of
how many have been slain by tho
word "Come." "Como and click wine
glasses with me at this ivory bar."
"Come and see what wc can win at
this gaming table." "Conic outer
with mo this doubtful sp?culation!"
"Come with me and read thoso in
fidel tracts on Christianity." "Come
with ino to a place of bad amuse
/ment." "Come with me in a gay bout
through tho underground Hf? of tho
city." If in this ol ty thoro arc 20,000
who nro down in moral character,
then 80,000 fell under tho power of
tho word "Come." T was reading of
a wifo whoso husband liad boen over
thrown by strong drink, and sho wont
to tho euloon whore ho was ruined,
and sho said: "Oive mo back my
husband." And thc bartender, polnt
' lng to a maudlin and battered man
drowsing in tho corner of the bar
room, said: "There he is. Jim, wake
up; hero's your wife ooiho for-you."
And the woman said: "Do you oall
that my husband? What have you
been doing with him? ls that the
manly brow, is that the clear eye,
la that tho noble heart, that 1 mar
ried? What vilo drug have you given
him that has turned him into a /lend?
Take your tiger claws off of him.
Uncoil thoso sorpcut folds of evil
habit that are crushing him. Give mo
back my husband, tho ono with whom
I stood at tho altar ten years ago.
Oive him back to me." Victim was
he, as many millions of others have
been, of the word "Cornel"
Now wo want all the world over
to harness this word for good ns
others have harnessed it for evil, and
lt will draw thc five continents and
tho ?oas between them-yea, it will
? W tho wholo earth baok to God
from whom lt hrs wandered. It is
that wooing and persuasivo word that
will lead men to givo up their ?ins.
?Wa? skeptlolsm ever brought into

.in waiting? thc longer you wait tho
farther off you aro and tho deeper you
arc down. Strike out for Heaven! You
remember that a few years ago a
steamer called tho Princess Alice, with
a crowd of excursionists aboard, sank
tin the Tim mos, and there was an awful
sacrifico of life. A boatman from tho
?hore put out for the rescue, and ho
had a big boat, and lie got it so full it
would not holli another person, and as
lie laid hold of lite para to pull for the
shore, leaving hundreds helpless and
di'pwn)ng, ho. cried out: "Oh, that .1
had a bigger boat!" Thank Cod that 1
am not thus limited and that L cnn
promise room for all in this Cospel
boat. Cet in; get in! And yet there
is room. Room in the heart of a par
doning Cod. Room in Heaven.
t also apply tho word of my text to
those who would like practical com
fort. If any ever escapo the strugglo
of life, I have not found them. They
aro not certainly among thc prosper
ous classes. In most cases it was u
struggle all the way up till they
reached Die prosperity, and since they
have reached these heights there have
been perplexities, anxieties and crises
which were almost enough toshntter
the nerves and turn the brain. It would
be hard to tell willoh havo the biggest
light In this world, the prosperities or
the adversities, the e.onspicuitles or
the obscurities, dust ns BOOU as you
havo enough success to attract tho at
tention of others the envies and Jeal
ousies aro let looso from their kennel.
The greatest crime that you eau oom
init in the estimation of others is to
got on better than they do. They think
your additiou is their subtraction.
Five hundred persons start for a goal
of success; ono reachos it, and thc oth
er four hundred and ninety-nine aro
in.iil. It would take volumes to hold
thc story of their wrongs, outrages
and defamations that have conic upon
you as a result of your success. Tho
warm sun of prosperity brings into
life a swamp full of annoying inscots.
On tho other hand, tho unfortunate
olasscs have their struggles for main
tenance. To achieve a livelihood by
ono who had nothing to start wi th, and
after awhilo for a family as well, and
carry this on until children are reared
and cduoated and fairly started in the
world, and to do this amid all tho rival
ries of business and the uncertainty
of crops and thc iloklencss of tariff
legislation, with an occasional labor
strike and here und there a panie
thrown in, is a mighty thiug to do, and
there arc hundreds and thousands of
such heroes and heroines who live un
j sung and die unhonored.
What we all need, whether up or
down in life or half way between, ls
the infinite solace of the Christian reli
gion. And so we employ tho word
"Come!" It will take nil oternity to
lind out tho number of business mea
who have been strengthened by the
promises of Ood, and the people who
have been fed by the ravens wlvon other
resources gave out, and thc men .Mid
women who, going into this battle
armed only with the needle or saw or
ox or yardstick or pen or type or shevo]
or shoe last, have gained a victory that
ninda th? heavens resound. With all
tho resources of Cod promised for
every exigency, no oue need be left in
thc lurch.
But thc word "Come" applied to
those who need solace will amount to
nothing unless it bo uttered by some
one who has experienced that solace.
That spreads the responsibility pf giv
ing this Cospel call among a great
many. Thoso who have lost property
and have been consoled by religion in
that trial are tho ones to invito those
who havo failed in business. Those
who have lost tholr health and been
consoled by religion aro tho ones to
iuvitc those who aro In poor health.
Those who have had bereavements and
been consoled in those heronvemeuts
are thc ones to sympathise with those
who have lost father or motbor or
companion or ehUd or friond. What
multitudes of us aro alive to-day and
in good health nnd buoyant In this
journey of life who would have been
broken down or dead long ago but for
the sustaining and eheoring help of our
holy religion! So we say, "Como!"
Tho well is not dry. The buckets are
not empty. The supply is not exhaust
ed. There is just as much merty pud
condolence and soothing power lu Cod
as before the first gravo wan dug, or
the first tear started, or the first heart
broken, or the first acoident happened,
or tbo first fortuno vanished. Those
of us who have felt the consolatory
pov er of religion havo a right to speak
oj i of our own experiences and say:
"Come!"
What dismal work of condolence thc
world makes when it attempts to con
dole! The plaster they spread docs
not sllok. The broken bones under
their bandage do not knit. A farmer
was lost in a snowstorm on a prairie
of i he far west. Night ?vas coming on,
and after he was al'most frantio from
not knowing which way to go his
sleigh struck the rut of nnothor sleigh,
and he said: "I will follow this rat,
and it will take Ao ont to safety." He
hastened on until he heard the bolls
of the preceding horses; but, coining
up, he found that tkat man was also
lost, and, as ls the tendouay of those
who are confused In tho forest or on

THE GREAT BATTLE

GALLANT ADMIRAL 80 H LEY.
An Intensely Interesting Story
of thu Fight from First
to Last Told to a
B K Audlenc -.
Tho following in tho testimony of
Admiral Sohloy boforo tho oourt of on
(luiry describing tho battle of Santiago:
t "On Juno 1 Admiral Sampson ar
rived. Ho brought with him tho"Now
York, tho Oregon and tho Majllowor,
a^nd Htcamod down to tho westward a
little insido cf tho lino of blookiulo.
Ho f jund U3 at thai timo Just iu raok
irg thc tum and I wont on board. Ho
waa very oordial,-very glad to eeo mo,
and 1 explained to him tho situation
?nd tho fhot of tho reoounoisaanoo.
Ha scorned to bo vory glad to fiad out
tho nituotion thero, and 1 pointed out
to him tho Colon lying inthooutrauoo.
Capt. Lowly: "lithe o?urt phiiso
wo aro getting beyond tho oourt*9 ion
atruotlon of tho soopo of tho preoopt."
Admiral Dar?oy: "As I undomtand,
bo is turning ibo ooramand over to tho
commandcr-in-ohitif. 1 want to hear
tb*t. 1 would Uko to bear that park.
Continuing, Admiral Sohloy said: "I
handod him a r.uuibor of diapasones,
explained to him tho tituation and told
him tho form of blookado that I had
maintained, and I hoard no word of
?oniplaint Ir Ow him. lu faofc, iu viow
j of tho telegram of congratulation I
Buppoeod naturally evorything w?B ap
I proved. Admiral Sampson's rolations
and mir. o were alwayB oordial. 1 novor
had any ditferoneo with bira."
'"I turned tho oommaud over to Ad
miral hajip?on and my iquadron wao
not broken up until tao 18ih or 19th
of June. I was still in tho command
of ti io dying squadron ned oomposod
tho left half ot tho blookaaiug lino at
Santiago. Of oourso, I havo no oriti
oiaini. to ctlcr, merely a plain, straight
atory to tell o? what its operations woro
up to tba? timo."
Tho admiral at tho rcquost of Mr.
Raynor stated his oofiorva.ioa of sui
pious eircumstanoes on land and in
tho harbor at Santiago on tho ovening
of July 2. Ho ?aid that the outlying
land i'orooB wcro at that timo hoing
proHsod into tho city by tho Amorioan
and insurgent forces, and ho had notic
ed that tovoral of their blook houses
burned that evening.
He bad at tho samo time observed
tmoko ocming from ovor ??ooapa hill
and he thought tho army waa prepar
ing for a sordo. Of thia oirouimtnnoo
ho hhd notified Aamiral' Sampaou and
ho thought ihu admiral had nohd up
on tho notioo aa tho blockading line was
moved in oloBcr that night.
Ada irai Sohloy bogan bia donoription
ot' tho battlo ot July 3, about 2 30
o'olook. Ho eaid the d?y broko fair
with a pleasant land breeze. ''After 1
bad tm iou my breakfast," sontinued
tho adrenal, "I oame up td too what
oould bo oLBcrvcd wi'.h glaoses. Wo
wcro ly lug at that time possibly throe
miloo or a little over from tho land
and I romcmbor to have wondered
why tho one my permitted us to remain
no olouo without dring at us. At a
quarter to ? o'clock an orderly reported
io mo that a Bingal had been ruado by
.he flagship to dicrogard hor move

aooordiiig to tho original ph n. Wo ali
moved directly for tho hoad of tho ooh
umn, tho idoa being to arrobt and koo ok
thom to pieos as they o am o on.
"Wo oontinuod on our oouraofor ton
ortwclvo minutos," ho said "and I
saw all tho ?hips of our flootolosing in.
Ono thousand yards is tho limit of a
torpodo range and as wo woro ap
proaching about that distanoo I mon
uonod smoothing of that sort to Capt.
Cook, nt the samo timo saying to him,
'Muoh will depend upon this ship to
day.' Cook iopliod that wo would soon
bi within tho oross ii io of tho ships. I
saw Lieut. Sampson's first shot and
thon I saw tho first vcsaol in tho Span
ish lino t ak o a rank shoor to tho west
ward loaviDg the Viaoaya ooming
straight on. Thon tho latter also
turned to the.wostward. It was now ap
parent that tho original plan of tho
Spaniard? had failed and that tho
Spanish il-.ot, in ardor and apparently
at di.-.tan oo, had HUCO oed od in passing
tho battleship lino. A now foaturo of
the light boo?nu immediately apparont,
Capt. Uook not? gav) the ordor to port
tho behn. I did not. 1 should havo
dono so in a seoond. I said to him 'is
your helm aport,' aud ho roplicd, 'ita
aport or hard apovt, I think tho Ut
tor."
Ooming to tho turn of tho Brooklyn
Admiral Sohloy speaking oloarly ?nd
novor hesitating for a word, said that
ho had novor soon a ?hip turn moro I
stoadily. ''Tho turo," ho said, "was |
absolutoy continuous: thoro was no
caBirg of tho holm, ana I novcr saw tho
starboard sido of tho Texas. I am sur J
wo woro novor olosor that voasol thau
600 yards: Wo woro novor across hor
bow. Sho novor ortorod into my head
at all as a monaco or danger."
Ho said tho olosost rangs gi von was
1,100 yards. "Wo woro so oloso," ho
wont on, "that I romombcr I could soo
mon on tho Spanish ship? running bo
tweon tho suporstruoturo: I oould ?von
soo tho daylight botwoon their legs.
"During tho turn Lieut. Oommandor
Hodgson very proporlv mado tho ob
servation that wo should "lookout for
tho Texas," but thoro was novor any
colic nay botwoon us-novor any oollo
quy of any oharaotor botwoon Hodgson
and mysolf, first beoauso ho was too
go>. d an o Ot ocr to havo so trauHgrosso d,
and Bcoond, booauso if ho had under
tftkon it [ would not havo pormittodit.
That is fiction; thoro was no oolloquy."
At this poriod tho admiral eaid tho
loading ono of tho Spanish ship.1 . was
on tho Brooklyn's starboard bow, and
that not only all of tho enemy's ships
but tho forts aa woll woro fiting ap
parently at tho Brooklyn. "That mo
ment ?nd for tho next 15 minutos, woro
tho nicst sorious of tho oombat," ho
raid, and ho told ho.7 jotB of water
.vero r>oon on all hands and how doafou
ing wan tho noise of tho guos. "Tho
roar of tho projool?os," hp said, "was
nuoh aa can only bo hoard I onoo, and
once heard novor forgotten. AU four
of tho Spanish vessels woro firing on
thc Brooklyn, and none of tho Spanish
vessels ot that time showed any injury.
Thon tho thought passod through my
mind that thoy might got away, and I
roared wo should haye most of tho fight
as I did not know that tho battleships
could koop up their npood. I 60\d to
Cook that wo would 'stay with this
orow.' "
Tolling of tho oomiug up of tho Oro
gon during tho ohaao, Admiral Sohloy
??id ho had novcr b sf oro roaliaod that
suoh rapid firo waa posiible as waa
emitted from thone two voseols. Both
look to him, ho said, Uko shoots of
ftamo. Whon tho Maria Teresa wont
ashoro tho admiral said ho had in
struotod Capt. Cook to notify tho mon
bolow and to koop thom informod of tho
progross of o von tn. "Thoy oan't soo
what is hoing dono," ho said to Cook,
"and thoy want to know." Tho captain
had oboyed his injunction and tho
messagoa woro rocoived with ohccra
from bolow.
Doitoribing thc going ashoro of tho
Spanish ships in nuooossion, ho said ho
know tho following Amorioan ships
would tako caro of thom and protoot
tho Spaniards against tho insurgonts;
and tho firo on thoir own ships. As
tho battlo proceeded at this timo tho
admiral said he was vory anxious about
tho rang? as ho did not want tho Torosa
and tho Vieoaya to got beyond rango.
"I fc?rod tho ships were gaining and
askod IS Hs, who wss very expert with
tho otadimotor, and ho ropliod, aftor a
uso of tho instrument, that ho thought
wo woro holding our own. I thought
d if iou ir.ly at tho timo."
At this timo tho admiral p*id his
tribatn to Ellis, who ho said in tho
raaguifioont performance of his duty
had lost bis lifo. His voioo loworod
as ho spoko gontly of the shooking eight
when tho sailor was decapitated by a
sholl whioh splattered his brains and
blood upon tho dook. "Somo of it
rotohod me," ho said. Ho RRW Liout.
McOaulov and tho dootor pick up tho
body and oarry it to tho sido ns if to
throw it overboard. Ha called to thom
not to do so, that ono who had fallen
so g?dlnutly deserved a bettor burial.
Continuing tho story of tho fight propor
tho admiral dcaoribod how tho Vinoaya
bfld turned toward tho Brooklyn just
beforo nho wont ashoro. AR she turuod
ho distinctly sa if tho effoct of a shot
whioh then ontcrod hor bow whore
upon sho wheeled baok and hoadod for
tho shorn. As sho did so ho saw her
rr,ked fore and aft by a big sholl and
sho ?Bted so fur ovor that ho thought
sho might turn turtlo. "I signalled tho
Texas to look out for hor, but receiving
no a<vBor," Admiral Sohley testified,
"tho Texas was too far b?ok probably.
I rom irked at tho time, 'it does not
mattor^Philip ?B always sonsiblo. Ho
nooda nb instruction,'"
Speaking , then of tho offoot of tho
Spanish firo oh tho Brooklyn ho said
it was BO heavy that all tho rigging o?
tho Brooklyn had beon out, oven the
sp?oJ ones hv.l b.?u shot a ff ay, ono
of thom nearly striking him as ho stood
on tho bridgo. After tho Visoaya hauled
down her oolors tho ohaso of tho Colon
continued. She odgod in nhoro a id ap
peared to bo following tho oontour of
tho oosst. Ho thought sho was looking
for a soft placo lo go ashoro, but she
kept on. Sho was thon out of rango
and ho told Cook to have tho mon oomc
up and got a breath of air and some
thing to oat. Ho himnolf wont into tho
oonning tower and hang out to thoso
bolow through tho tubo that all hands
except ono had gono ashoro and that
ho.would dopend upon thom to got her.
There was muoh jubilation among tho
men, ho said, but tho Brooklyn's mo
tion scorns slow and hoavy auU tho od
mirai fiaid ho dtrootod Capt. Cook to
m&ko an examination. Tho result was
tho disoovory that a wator tight com
partment was full. It was at first
thought that there had been an injury
to tho ship, bolow tho wator lino. Aftor
that, howovor, tho spood ol'tho Brook
lgn inoreasod. Sho was kept atraight
for Tor quinto point on tho theory that
tho.Colon to got away would havo to
ptain th%t po?-.a. Ito ord ovid extra am
munition brought up for uso whon thoy
eamo to closo quartors. Tho Colon was
gradually overhauled and he signaled
tho Orogon to try ono of hor 13 inoh
guns, Ho said ho had supposod until
Capt. Clark tostifiod that his ordor had
been reoeivod.
Tho Orogon, ho said, was abaft tho
boam of tho Brooklyn, working up a
little ooo&sionally during tho ohaBO, but
ho did uot think tho two boats woro
500 yards a put at any time. At 12.50
both tho Orogon and tho Brooklyn
oponod, the formor with hor 13 inch
and tho lattor with hor H inch guns.
Tho sholl from ono of tho 13 inoh guns
ho distinctly saw fall beyond tho Colan
and also ono of tho 8 inoh guns. Sui
dooly tho Colon turned hor noso in
shore, firod a gun to looward and
haulod down ho flag."
Tho ad aiiral said ho at onoo signalled
that tho ?nomy had ?urrondor*d. Ho
montionod tho faot that thoro was dif
fioulty in getting a boat out to board
the Colon. "Wo ntoamod into poiition
1 should say 1,000 yards. I remotnbor
distinctly Capt. Cook asking mo if ho
"At tho timo tho Colon haulod down
hor flag I think she was about four
milos from ul. Wero running thon in
tho neighborhood of 15 knots. I think
it was about 1.30 p, rn, whon tho sue

I oould soo only tho smoko of tho third

oommandor-in ohicf. I mad o eorno

I WHS proparod, if ho had not oomo up,
to bfevo sont a forco of 50 or GO mon on

thing liko 'monkeying' with her.
"When ho mentioned to mo to tako

delight beoauro 1 thought that after
tho admirable work of tho squadron on
thal day and tile part tho Of. gon and
tho Brooklyn had in it, that thero was

Tho witnops then told of starting for

and being informed that tho Sponish
ship waa tho Polayo. Tho witnoas thou
do.'.oiibcd tho overhauling of tho
stranaer, whioh proved to bo cn Aus
trian oruincr.
Admiral Sohloy told of passing tho
Towa when ho was bailod by Capt.
Evans, who iuformod him that Admir
al Ccrvcra was on boatd and would liko
very much to Soo him.
"I found tbo Spanish admiral greatly
dojooted," said tho witnosn. ".I said to
hird 1 know, ho had lost ovorything,
olothiug as well rn monoy, and inform
ed him that my wardrobo as woll as my
purso, ns far tis that would go, was at
his sorvioo."
Admiral Corvora, tho witness said,
thankod him for his courtesy, but do
olined tho prolior, only asking to bo al
lowed to Bond a diapnoh to his govoru- ?
mont annonnoing tho fato of bia squad
ron. "I told him there would bo no
objdotion to th*.t wba'.ovor," said tho
witness.
"And that," tho admiral said, doa
iog his narrativo impressively, "ondod
tho battle of tho 3rd day cf July, 1898."
*'I wish to He'd," ho oontiuued, "th*t
I was very much improstcd on that day
with tho fnob that tho oftioors and tho
mou who wcro cugagod. in that atrugglo i
fulfilled in tho very highest, and in tho
vory noblest degrco tho traditions of
tho Araorioau navy."
Tho admiral said ho was unable to
rooail a oovorsatiou with Capt. MoCalla, ?
on July 5, whon tho lawlor had said to
Admiral Sohloy tbafc thora was "glory
onough for all." Admiral Sibley said
ho had first noon this sentiment as form
ulated aooroditod to Senator. Hale.
"Sonator Halo," ho said, "exprossod
my fooliug at tho timo and that fooliog
I still hold. A controversy was not
thought of at that timo."
A PLAN THAT FAILED.
Mr. Raynor romindoti Admiral Sohloy
he had stated at tho beginning of tho
battle tho chipo ohargod in aooording to
tho original plan. "Now," ho asked,
"with whom did that plan originate?''
"That waa tho general order cf tho
commander in ohioi' duriog tho timo of \
tho blookitde, but that foiled, beoauso i
tho ono my auoooe'ded really in. prising ,
tho battlo lino," ropliod Admiral
Sohloy.
As Admiral SobJey loft tho oourt room
ho wau givon quito an ovation. A
largo numbor of persons had halted
ou? sido tim oomt room door and many
insisted upon shaking bau""s with him.
Too assemblage escorted him up tho
hill from the gunner's workshop in
whioh tho oourt,sits to tho outer gatea
of tho navy yaid.
