Ciiicaoo, J une 27. —Shortly before 5 o'clock yesterday morning fire broke out in the large packing house of the Chicago Packing and Provision company at the Union stock yard* It was already under great headway when discovered, and spread rapidly. It soon swept across from the packing house to a large storage house in which were 3,000 live hogs and 18,000 barrels of mess pork, the latter belonging to Armour & Co. Before the fire gained much headway in the storage house 2,000 of-the hogs were driven out and about S00 barrels of pork saved; the rest of the hogs and pork were consumed. The entire fire department fought the flames with energy and persistency, but the packing oompany's buildings were entirely destroyed. A storage house owned by Armour St Co. was somewhat damaged. The plant of the Chicago Packing and Provision company was valued at (300,000. The company had just closed its season and was beginning to prepare for the fall trade, and in consequence bad comparatively little stock on hand. Its loss is estimated at about (850,000. London, June 27.—A Ore in a tenement house west of Oxford street early yesterday morning earned a panic among the inmates, who, roused suddenly from their slumbers, made frantic efforts to escape from the building. Egress by means of the stairways Brooklyn, June 20.—Many of the families belonging to the church of which tha * Rev. T. DeWitt Tolmage, D. D., is pastor, have gone to the country for tha summer, but still the great throngs ofl people that for eighteen years have been seen in and around Brooklyn Tabernacla on Sablmth days, are found there. It la estimated that about 300,000 strangers have visited this church during the past) year. The hymn sung this morning was: Salvation, oh, the Joyful sound! Tto pleasure to our ean; A sovereign balm for every wound, A cordial for our fears. Dr. Talmage'* text was: "Ho was 4 mighty hunter before the Lord."—Genesis z, 0. He said: Henry George was received with great oil curing. He said that behind Dr. McGlynn was a great principle, a sentiment that was rising to an overwhelming wave. Let him excommunicated, and this wave will rise: ■'till higher. The only people who were en• Vitvoriug to Impress Catholics with the idea D ii.tt Dr. McGlynn was following in the foot!D;• ps of Martin Luther were the disciples of Luther themselves. Dr. McGlynn, he said, l*ctiC ved that poverty was the result of human injustice and not of divine decree, and that it tf m be abolished. being cut off, many from windows and were terribly injured. jumped Some frightful scenes were witnessed. A youth who leaped from the Up story of the building was instantly killed, his body being mangled in a shocking mannor. Hardly had his corpse being raised from the pavement when the crowd were horrified to see a woman, who proved to be the lad's mother, spring from the the same window. Sho struck a railing, rebounded and fell upon the heads of the people beneath, who were packed together so closely that they could neither escape themselves nor help to break the force of her fall. By not striking the pavement directly, however, she escaped instant death. She was taken to a hospital and will probably die of ber injuries. The race between the freshmen crews of Yale and the University of-Pennsylvania, which took place at New London ou Saturday, was won by tho former. A DELAWARE CONSTABLE, At the American Athletic club's annual spring games at New York Saturday, Copeland, of the Manhattan club, lowered the American record for hurdling at 130 yards to 15 seconds from 15 3-5 seconds, where it stood for years. Aft"r concluding his address Mr. George suswurod a number of questions put to him lDy tho liudienco upon the objects of the Anti- I 'nvcrty society and upon the land taxation question. While Attempting to Berve a Writ, Is Shot with Bis Own Bevolver. Laurel, Del., June 27.—Constable Joseph T. Hastings, of Little Creek Hundred, Del., sustained critical, if not fatal injuries Saturday while attempting to serve a writ on Grant Eskridge, of Bethel, near this place. Eskridge resisted arrest, and finding himself overpowered, called for help. His mother ran out with a club. The constable then drew his pistol, but the mother felled him with the club. Blow after blow was rained upon him until he lost consciousness. Bakridge's sister then struck Hastings with an axe four severe blows on the back. Elk ridge then took possession of the constable's revolver and shot him. Hastings was discovered by a friend, who brought him to Laurel. Saturday evening the women wore arrested and held in (BOO bail each for court. Eskridge cannot be found. In our day hunting is a sport; but In tho lands and times ihfested with wild beasts it was a matter of life or death * with tho people. It was very different) from going ont an a sunshiny afternoon . with a patent breech loader to shoot reed birds on the flats, when Pollus and Achilles and Dtomedes went ont to dean tho land of lions and tigers and bears. My text seta forth Nlmrod as a hero when it presents hica with broad shoulders and shaggy apparel and sunbrowned face, and arm bunched with muscle—"a mighty hunter before the Lord." I thtnir he used the bow and tho arrow, with great success practicing archery. Two Young Men Drowned. C. H. Todd won the American Derby and tl3,940 at Chicago on Saturday, with Miss Ford second, Wary third. Terra Cotta fourth, Carey fifth, the winner making the mile and a half in The winners in other races were Jacobin, Eva K., Tom Uptegrove, Zuleika and Osceola. Philadelphia, June 27.—A sailboat was cnfislzed on the Delaware river, opposite K'iitli Camdon, during a severe storm, and tiv i of its occupants were drowned. Their ltujiius were Edward Fish and John Shaffer, «:;ud, respectively, 28 and 20 years. The tl.lnl member of the party had a narrow ea cape. The three men belonged in this city. Another woman, who appeared at an upper window with a child in her arms, seemed about to jump, but after hesitating a moment was surrounded by a gust of flame, fell backward and was not seen again. Her charred remains, with those of her two children, were afterward found in the ruins. The fact that no wind vu blowing when tbe Are started was probably the only circumstance that saved tbe entire stock yards from destruction. No person seems to know tho origin of the Are. Several saw the blase simultaneously as it went through the roof of tbe tank bouse. Tbe flames began to rapidly eat their way directly aoroas the main building. Though the Are department was quickly at the scene, the fire had gained a volume that no amount of water could reduce. Huge sweeping circles of flames were whirling upward with a roar that could be heurd for blocks. Twenty engines and every reservoir in the yards were goon brought into play. All efforts of tbe flremen and hundreds of stock yard employes were bent toward keeping the conflagration confined to the works of tbe Chicago company.

The firemen rescued many persons by means of ladders, and were very active and efficient, but the - flames spread so quickly, and the numbor of inmates was so great, that it was impossible to prevent many from seeking to save themselves before the firemen could come to their rescue. A Pretty Widow Who Wanted to Moot The record of the League and American Association cluba to date is as follows; The Baseball Record. N jao aba Falls, N. Y., June 27.—Pretty Mrs. Austin Whitley, a widow, was locked up bore yesterday in police headquarters on the charge of attempted suicide. She is the daughter of an English clergyman and came to America a year ago. She was last in Toronto and came here to work in a hotel. Death In the Cataract. I have thought If it is such a grand thing and such a brave thing to clear wild beasts out of a country, If it Is not A better and braver thing to hunt down and de* Btroy those great evils of society that aro stalking the land with fierce eye and bloody paw and sharp tusk and qulal; spring. I have wondered if there is not such a thing as gospel hunting, by which those who have been flying from the Ixntli may bo captured for God and heaven. The Lord Jesus In his sermon used the art of angling far an Illustration when h« said: "I will make yon fishers of men.'* And so I think I have authority for uslntf hunting as an illustration of gospel truth) and I pray God tha$ there may be many 4 man In this congregation who shall begin to study gospel archery, of whom it after a while be said: "He was a might} hunter before the Lord."

HE EVADED THE LAW, WitEELiNO, W. Va., June 97.—A brutal prize flght took plaoe near this city early yesterday morning between two Englishmen, Thomas Johns (170 pounds), of Martin's Ferry, and John Evans (120 pounds), of Aetna «ille, both mill men. And Was Fatally Stabbed by a Toting Tough Whom Ha Served with Liquor. She expected to meet a man who was engaged to marry her, but he did not show up. Friday a stranger came to see her, and since then she has been very despondent. Saturday afternoon she told Charles Hanna, of the Casino, and others, that she was going to end her existence In the cataract. It was at this juncture, while one little : quad of flremen was standing in a freight car playing on the burning tank room, that ihu tanks exploded. A heavy beam slashed through the roof of the car, smashing Piporaan Baker's ankle and knocking Lieut. Elliott unconscious. Soon afterward the walls of the warehouse tumbled, disclosing great heaps of mess pork. P. D. Armour immediately set 100 men to work removing, the meat Charred barrels of it worn rolled out and carted nway. The army tramped over huge piles of loose poi.4 and carried big chunks of it out on the railroad tracks, where it was thrown in heaps. Occasionally one of the workmen would drop a ten pound roast in a pool of water and splash his neighbors with a mixture of grease and mud. Carts and trucks were loaded from these heaps like garbage wagons from the gutter. Mr. Armour, in a white bat and new spring suit, ruefully watched the mess of pork and oinders being cleared away, whilo his manager, Mr. Cudahy, stood on an elevation of mesa pork and superintended the work. ' In the debris were carcasses of hdfcs roasted whole. The charred bodies, shriveled into shapeless meases of cinders, were mingled with piles of brick, blackened beams and incinerated barrels. After the flames had consumed most of the buildings the fire still held sway in tbe great mounds of burning meat A smoke thick with tbe fumes of roasting pork rolled over tbe stock pens and drove into the eyes of the firemen. Falling walls filled the air with particles of brick dust, blinding and suffocating tbe men, Who were at times compelled to leave their hose and plunge their heads into buckets of water. T. en they sat in turns, with handkerchiefs dipped in water on their swollen eyelids, or bathed their blistered cbaeks with dirty water. New York, June 27,—Peter McCoy, a saloon keeper at SI Elm street, evaded the excise law yesterday, and as a result is dying at the Chambers street hospital. He admitted three young toughs to his saloon in the afternoon, and after they were served with drinks a quarrel arose as to who should pay for them. McCoy and his barkeeper Anally put the men out of the saloon. A short time afterward McCoy went out, and was at onoe attacked by the men, one of whom, Henry Rice, of 93 Elm street, pluuged his jackknife eight times into McCoy's body. A number of spectators attempted to capture Rioe, but be kept them at bay, with his knife" and escaped, but was afterward caught by a policeman. Rice has made anatiisrjnortem statement and identified Rice as his assailant. "Try and depose me and there'll be some Uvely times," Dunne said. He left the room. Bo did Kunxe. Marine Intelligence. The battle was a slugging match from the start, eighty bloody rounds with bare knuckles being fought before a decision was reached. In the next to the laBt round Evans struck Johns on the jugular, laying him out cold. The referee thinking the latter was dead forgot to call time at the expiration of the specified period, and allowed Johns to get upon his feet, whon he struck Evans a terrible blow on the neck, laying him out in turn. The flght was awarded to Johns. Warrants will be issued for both men.

Tbe Home club does not meet in Pythagoras hall, but secretly In the houses of members. When Dunne nd Kunxe had gone some of tboSe who were left behind suggested Dunne might be counselled, and Paul Mayer said thHt Dunne waa a good man, whom he was not ready to throw overboard. Tbe two Qufims wo; e asked to do the counseling, and they reported at tbe next meeting of the Home club that it waa no use. Dunne would have to ba removed from his place as chairman of the board at arbitration and strikes. Kumse must bo retained at his pom of district recording secretary for soma time yet Dunne was deposed Sunday a week ago, aBd -b^C*orapay_?"ao ° ohar*e "*"iiurt James E. Quinn. The tedious work of trying to remove Quinn as master workman was not to. Dunne's liking. He decided upon the policy carried out at yesterday's meeting. Yesterday he first asked the distriot assembly. which is made up of delegates from sevenkUmndred local assemblies, to abolish altogether the present board of arbitration and strikes, in the chairmanship of which John J, McKenna has succeeded him. Dunne said Mftt tbe board was a cumbrous affair, wd tended largely to increase tbe dignity dnd Importance of tbe master workman. He then denounced the Home club for antagonising their fellow workmen j lb other district assemblies in labor linioni, and*ln business concerns, until they had begun war upon everybody that they could not ooatroL Tbe board of arbitration and strikes, be said, aided this policy. It settle workingmen's difficulties in such a way that the results should ba to tbe detriment of everybody that were not in sympathy with tho rulers of 40. It drove away, the best men iu the order of the Knights of Labor, and to-day men were saying that tbey cared very littlo for an organisation that was run by a gang. Dunne said also that the grip of the Home club was not •dk#e on the throat of 49, but on every other dljtfiii in sympathy with it Other delegates made speeches denouncing the present leaders of tbe district assembly. A* vote was taken and tho board of arbitration and strikes was abolished. It was impossible to get tba vote. (Jr. Dunne had said in his speech that executive committees were found to be good endugh for other district assemblies. "Why not appoint an executive committee!" he asked. In the past 40 had got along very wg|l with an executive committee. It was then voted to have an executive cgtpmltteo of five. George W. Dunne was elected chairman. John J. McKenna, James P. Archibald, James Raleigh and M. J. Hal- Ion 41 re the others. This committee is to transact all business for tbe district assemblj when the assembly itself is not in session, and It is the controlling power. At any rate, it will be the controlling powsr, with Dunne as chairman. "You are crasy," said Hanna. "Oh, God! I mean what I say,"replied the girl. Sbo tried to make him a present of her watch and gave her wardrobe to another girl in tue house. Then Mrs. Whitley started for GoAt Island to leap into the roaring torrent. She was followed and arresWd just as she had thrown her satchel into u.'Viver. At the station house a revolver was taken away from her. She had talked sensibly on all other subjects except that she did not want to live. How much awkward Christian worlf there is done in the world! How many good peoplo there are who drive soul* away from Christ instead of bringiivr them to hlmj Religious blunderers, who upset more than they right. Their gnu i has a crooked barrel, and kicks as it goest off. They are like a clumsy hunter who goes along with -skillful hunters; at tha very moment he ought to be meat quiett t ho is cracking an alder or foiling over is log and frightening away the game. How1 few Christian peopls have ever learned D the lesson of which I read at the beginning of the service, how that the Lord Jesus Christ at the well went from talking about a cup of water to the most practical religions truths, which won the woman's soul for God. Jesus, In the wfldsrness, was breaking bread to the people, I think it was good bread; it was very light bread, apd the yeast had done it# work thoroughly. Christ, after he hat) broken the bread, said to the people: "Beware of the yeast, or of the leaven, of th», Pharisees I" So natural a transition it was, and how easily they all understood him. Bat how few Christian people who understand how to fasten the truths of God and religion to the souls of men I Truman Qsbarne, one of the evangelists who went through this country some years ago, had a wonderful art in the right direction. Ho cam* to my father's house one day, and while ww were all seated in the roam, ha said: "Mr. Talmagt, are all your children Christianaf'* Father sold: "Yes, all but De Witt" Then Truman Osborne looked dawn inter the fireplace, and began to toll a story of a storm that came on the mountains, and tlio sheep Were in the fold; but there wart one lamb outside that perished in tha Btorm.

TWO MISSING CHILDREN, Detroit, June 27.—Detroit manufacturers are much interested in the discovery of oil and natural gas in the lower peninsula. The natural gas struck at Port Huron has led to several firms considering the advisability of removing their manufacturing plants there to reap the benefit of the cheap fuel. An estimate is being prepared of the cost of piping oil from the Ohio field. Attbubn, H.

Yesterday morning he came out of his hiding place and acknowledged that he found it impossible to get over the walls, owing to the vigilant of the guards, who have been on duty each uight since Tiear's disappearance. He had had nothing to eat but a small piece of brvid which be bad in bis. pocket when be wont into voluntary retirement He was nearly famished and ate ravenously when .'iven bis dinner.

New York, June 27.—Frederick Nelson, employed by the Dry Dock and Avenue B railroad company, was eursed with a drunken wife eight years ago, and he was compelled to put bis children, Marietta, now 14, and Frederick, now 12, under tho care of Mrs. David Dunn, of 95 Greenwich avenue. He ceased to pay tbeir board, and disappeared in 1884. Marietta was apprenticed to a dressmaker, and recently she earned 12.50 a week.

Wera the Catholics Prohibited from At- tending the Jnbtleo Services? London, June 27.—The Chronicle's Rome dispatch says: The pope has or.tered a delay in the departure of Mgr. Persico for Ireland. A dispatch from Rome to The Germania, of Berlin, Lays that Mgr. Persico's mission to Ireland is due to the pope's desire, after declining to interfere in Irish affairs, to give England a proof of his good wllL Dr. MeOlynn In Chicago. Chicago, June 27.—Dr. McGiynn attended high max at the Cathedral of the Holy Name yesterday, and at the conclusion of tho service* held quite a leveo on the sidewalk in front of the cburoh. In the afternoon ho was tendered a reception at the Grand Pacific by the Land and Labor club No. 1, and for an hour eulogised the Intrinsic qualities of iluury George. The same dispatch says the absence of English Catholics from the Jubilee services in Westminster Abbey was doe to their attendance being prohibited by the propaganda. The German ambassadors at the quirinml and the Vatican had an important meeting to-day on the reconciliation question. Mrs. Dunn believes that Nelson took his children away tooscape paying what was due (or their hoard, and has asked the police to help her find tliem. The Saltan Will Not Sign. The School a Menace to Royalty. London, June 27.—Tlie time within which the Anglo-Turkish convention in regard to Egypt must be signed or' b©co:mr inoperative expires to-day. It is understood that the sultan will decline to sign tlie document, and that Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, tlio English envoy, will thereupon proceed personally to London for further instructions. London, Juno 27.—Rev. Dr. Parker, in tho course of bis sermon yesterday, referred to tho interest shown by Americans in the quoeu and said he was astonished at its extent as shown during the jubilee week. He knew of one American having offered $2,000 for a ticket of admission to the services in Westminster Abbey. Tho people of America, be said, hud no state coach as an emblem of power, but they had enthroned educatiou, liberty, independence, the spirit of progress and energy. President Cleveland, America's king, bail just written him a friendly letter. He hail not felt that there was any difference of rank between the president and the preacher. The same results as in America were being wrought out here. Every school board was a menace to klnghood. Philadelphia, June 27.—It has bean made known by a prelate that the holy see has not decided to tolerate the Knights of Labor. When Cardinal Gibbons went to Roino be found the case of the Knights had been prejudiced by the McGlynn-George movement, which was taken as a dangerous sympton of tho effects of the Knights' teaching. By the utmost exertion aud with the strenuous support of Cardinal Manning, Cardinal Gibbons secured who* may be called a stay of proceedings, until Rome should have obtained the full sense of the American Episcopate on the question. As it now stmi.U there ma/ be friction between the Kuighta and the church, but all indications are that the unanimity of tho American bishop* in advising prudence and a policy of non-intorference will not fall. The Church and the Knights. Foreign Contract Labor. Perhaps the most exciting scene of the day was presented when the men who were attempting to drive through the Covered runways the live bogs in the upper stories were forced by tbe fliunes to desist. Below were scores of workmen rolling out barrels of pork. Down on tho crowd pellmell leaped dozens of affrighted animals that had jumped from the windows or sprang through the open hatch way & Tho men who had braved the flames fled from the falling hogs, and at a distance watched for glimpses of tbe squealing brutes that, crazed with pain, were rushing madly about in their tall prison of fire. About 200 barrels of pork wens saved before tho bogs commenced jumping. New York, June 27.—Commissioner of Emigration Stephenson held twenty-flve French immigrants, who arrived at Castle Garden yesterday from the steamer La Oascogue, under the iipported labor contract law. They were weavers and silk manufacturers, and the commissioner alleges that they entered into a contract at Lyons with the agent of a New Jersey manufacturer to como to this country and work in his mills.

And Was Fatally Stabbed by a Toting Tough Whom Ha Served with Liquor. She expected to meet a man who was engaged to marry her, but he did not show up. Friday a stranger came to see her, and since then she has been very despondent. Saturday afternoon she told Charles Hanna, of the Casino, and others, that she was going to end her existence In the cataract. It was at this juncture, while one little : quad of flremen was standing in a freight car playing on the burning tank room, that ihu tanks exploded. A heavy beam slashed through the roof of the car, smashing Piporaan Baker's ankle and knocking Lieut. Elliott unconscious. Soon afterward the walls of the warehouse tumbled, disclosing great heaps of mess pork. P. D. Armour immediately set 100 men to work removing, the meat Charred barrels of it worn rolled out and carted nway. The army tramped over huge piles of loose poi.4 and carried big chunks of it out on the railroad tracks, where it was thrown in heaps. Occasionally one of the workmen would drop a ten pound roast in a pool of water and splash his neighbors with a mixture of grease and mud. Carts and trucks were loaded from these heaps like garbage wagons from the gutter. Mr. Armour, in a white bat and new spring suit, ruefully watched the mess of pork and oinders being cleared away, whilo his manager, Mr. Cudahy, stood on an elevation of mesa pork and superintended the work. ' In the debris were carcasses of hdfcs roasted whole. The charred bodies, shriveled into shapeless meases of cinders, were mingled with piles of brick, blackened beams and incinerated barrels. After the flames had consumed most of the buildings the fire still held sway in tbe great mounds of burning meat A smoke thick with tbe fumes of roasting pork rolled over tbe stock pens and drove into the eyes of the firemen. Falling walls filled the air with particles of brick dust, blinding and suffocating tbe men, Who were at times compelled to leave their hose and plunge their heads into buckets of water. T. en they sat in turns, with handkerchiefs dipped in water on their swollen eyelids, or bathed their blistered cbaeks with dirty water. New York, June 27,—Peter McCoy, a saloon keeper at SI Elm street, evaded the excise law yesterday, and as a result is dying at the Chambers street hospital. He admitted three young toughs to his saloon in the afternoon, and after they were served with drinks a quarrel arose as to who should pay for them. McCoy and his barkeeper Anally put the men out of the saloon. A short time afterward McCoy went out, and was at onoe attacked by the men, one of whom, Henry Rice, of 93 Elm street, pluuged his jackknife eight times into McCoy's body. A number of spectators attempted to capture Rioe, but be kept them at bay, with his knife" and escaped, but was afterward caught by a policeman. Rice has made anatiisrjnortem statement and identified Rice as his assailant. "Try and depose me and there'll be some Uvely times," Dunne said. He left the room. Bo did Kunxe. Marine Intelligence. The battle was a slugging match from the start, eighty bloody rounds with bare knuckles being fought before a decision was reached. In the next to the laBt round Evans struck Johns on the jugular, laying him out cold. The referee thinking the latter was dead forgot to call time at the expiration of the specified period, and allowed Johns to get upon his feet, whon he struck Evans a terrible blow on the neck, laying him out in turn. The flght was awarded to Johns. Warrants will be issued for both men.

When Dunne nd Kunxe had gone some of tboSe who were left behind suggested Dunne might be counselled, and Paul Mayer said thHt Dunne waa a good man, whom he was not ready to throw overboard. Tbe two Qufims wo; e asked to do the counseling, and they reported at tbe next meeting of the Home club that it waa no use. Dunne would have to ba removed from his place as chairman of the board at arbitration and strikes. Kumse must bo retained at his pom of district recording secretary for soma time yet Dunne was deposed Sunday a week ago, aBd -b^C*orapay_?"ao ° ohar*e "*"iiurt James E. Quinn. The tedious work of trying to remove Quinn as master workman was not to. Dunne's liking. He decided upon the policy carried out at yesterday's meeting. Yesterday he first asked the distriot assembly. which is made up of delegates from sevenkUmndred local assemblies, to abolish altogether the present board of arbitration and strikes, in the chairmanship of which John J, McKenna has succeeded him. Dunne said Mftt tbe board was a cumbrous affair, wd tended largely to increase tbe dignity dnd Importance of tbe master workman. He then denounced the Home club for antagonising their fellow workmen j lb other district assemblies in labor linioni, and*ln business concerns, until they had begun war upon everybody that they could not ooatroL Tbe board of arbitration and strikes, be said, aided this policy. It settle workingmen's difficulties in such a way that the results should ba to tbe detriment of everybody that were not in sympathy with tho rulers of 40. It drove away, the best men iu the order of the Knights of Labor, and to-day men were saying that tbey cared very littlo for an organisation that was run by a gang. Dunne said also that the grip of the Home club was not •dk#e on the throat of 49, but on every other dljtfiii in sympathy with it Other delegates made speeches denouncing the present leaders of tbe district assembly. A* vote was taken and tho board of arbitration and strikes was abolished. It was impossible to get tba vote. (Jr. Dunne had said in his speech that executive committees were found to be good endugh for other district assemblies. "Why not appoint an executive committee!" he asked. In the past 40 had got along very wg|l with an executive committee. It was then voted to have an executive cgtpmltteo of five. George W. Dunne was elected chairman. John J. McKenna, James P. Archibald, James Raleigh and M. J. Hal- Ion 41 re the others. This committee is to transact all business for tbe district assemblj when the assembly itself is not in session, and It is the controlling power. At any rate, it will be the controlling powsr, with Dunne as chairman. "You are crasy," said Hanna. "Oh, God! I mean what I say,"replied the girl.

How1 few Christian peopls have ever learned D the lesson of which I read at the beginning of the service, how that the Lord Jesus Christ at the well went from talking about a cup of water to the most practical religions truths, which won the woman's soul for God.

Christ, after he hat) broken the bread, said to the people: "Beware of the yeast, or of the leaven, of th», Pharisees I" So natural a transition it was, and how easily they all understood him.
