SnUHanELi), III/, 'ApVil i4.~-The remains of President and Mrs. Lincoln were privately taken from thoir secret resting place thM mornlfig and interred in the qorth vault of the Lincoln monument in Oak Ridge cemetery near this citg. Let* than a doxen persons, members lof the Lincoln monument association, ind the Lincoln guard of honor were present. ForV6*1,8 the whereabouts of the remains of thegieat president and his wife has been vested in my iter v from an anxiety lest they might be stolen and held for ransmi. Tho actual1 attempt to carry off the bodies in 1876 was the moving cause of the formation of the guard of honor, which organization secreted tho re­mains and today surrendered their charge. Great care was taken to keep the event of this morning a profound secret The secret gravo was directly under the base of the obelisk, about, thirty feet from the north entrance, but only accessible through the south door. A door in the north of the hall, where the Lincoln relics are kept, leads through a loqg, dark passage, first east, then nortIf, then west, and then south to a recess. Here, about three feet below the surface of the floor, were deposited the remains of Abraham Lincoln and his wife. The body of Mr. Lin col u was in a walnut coflln lined with an air tiffht.lead lining about an inch thick. The walnut coffin was in a cedar box and the cedar box was inclosed in a pine box. Mrs. Lincoln's remains were similarly inclosed. Twenty-two yeare ago to-dtty Lincoln was shot. When the gufH, with the help of a few laborers had exhumed the coffins, ana the lid of the president's was removed, his face was seen to be in a remarkable state of preservation. Those who stood around and had known Lincoln when alive, easily discerned the features.. They were very distinct The silver plate on the coffin lid was bright On H was inscribed the fol­lowing: Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth president United States, born February 1?, 1808, died April 15, 1865. While the remains of Mr. Lincoln were ex­posed to view, General Reese, presl dent of the guard of honor, turneU them over to the Lincoln monument association. A Certificate was signed by the membeik of the guard of honor certifying' thajt the remains in the coffin were jhose received from tlje IAncoln monument association 19T8. The ( inonurhent associat made Out a nekiflcate signed by tile members for the records of the sociation declaring the remains to those of Abraham Lincoln;

The undertaker was then directed to seal the coffin, and a plumber sealed it up. Thfc coffin was taken out by the workmen and carried around to the vault on the north side. Tie members of the two associations and] a stranger or two who happeued to pe looking at the monument folbwed. tn the north .vault the floor had bein taken up. A hole eight feet long ky six wide and five and a h(df detp bricked up and cemented, had been prepared. The president's coffin wps placed in this grave on the west side.' The coflln Containing Mrs. Lincoln's remains, which had been brougtit from tho secret £rave before the otl er coffin, Was than brought to the vault and placed on the east side f)f her hus band. A brick arcli was thCn built over the oofllns. This was covened with cement, mixed with small broken rock. Two guards will be on duty at the tomb till the cement becomes hard.

"Mr. Hill,11 he said, "is gaining* in strength In New York, for instance, he is making a bid for the . labor vbte, and is gaining in strength. | His nom­ination of the state Irailroad com-missionersMvas a successful attempt to please the labor people."

ing where he has not strewed?11 Our empty treasury and heavy debt seem to indicate that this is so. Let us look farther. We glanced, a few moments ago at the resources of our country. A few figures give the re­sult of these resources. * During the ten years from 1870. to 1880 the United States increased in wealth at the rate of 1260,000 per hour^evory hour, night and day except Sunday, or more | than $60,000^000 every Week day for ten years. This observe is not pro-1 duction, but wealth laid up, after sup­plying our wants. ]A material progress wholly without parallel in the history of tne world. Surely God has not been remiss in providing for the needs of his people. Let us look again at the figures. During this same ten years, from 1870 to 1880, tbe average annual increase of the wealth of the church members in the tfnited States waa very neai* $400,000,000. This over and above all expense of living, and all benevolences. During this same ten years the Evangelical Protestant churches gave for home and foreign missions live and a-half million dollars. That is, for ten years the Christians of America laid up for themselves^ annually treasures in heaven, toUhe amount of five and a half million dollars, treasures for themselves on earth to the amount of nearly $400,000,000. "Will La man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we fobbed thee? , In tithes and offerings, Ye are cursed with a curse, for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.1' G, my friends bow we need to pray for the Christians of our land that they be consecrated to /God's service. Whatever their Occupations, Christians bave but one business in the world \ viz. the extending Of Christ's kingdom and merchant mechanic and banker are under the same obligations to be wholly consecrated to that work as is the passionary. j- '.-.

i. But let us look once more at these

10,000,000 members of protesUnt churches. Assuming that this five and a half million dollars was (al­together the gift oT church members, it shows an average individual gift of 55 cents per year. This view of the matter is x certainly humiliating. Probably fevery one in this room will say I have given more than that, but remember that for every one here who has given $1 there is one outside who has given nothing. Some of you have given $5, but for every such one there are nine outside, who have given nothing. There are noble givers, and noble gifts, but O, the multitudes who givo nothing. I < ,

As missionary societies we caunot be too urgent in our efforts to secure the membership of every woman in our churches. Let us not be dis­couraged by refusals. Some who have refused in other years will join us this year if we ask them. God works in the hearts of his people to make them willing. Let us not rest until every woman in our churches has paid her $1 membership fee into the treasury of the Lord. This woujld give us in this church $150 where we now have less that $50. But this is not all we want Our Saviour said "Freely ye have received, freely give. If any man will come pfter me let him deny himself,11 The needs of the world .to-day are boundless, hence every one's obligation to supply that need is the full measure of his ability, not one-tenth, or any othor fraction of i t And no. one exercises that full measure until he has sacrificed. "God will have -alt thou hast; thy mind, thy will, thy thoughts, thy words, thy works." fcet us learn a lesson from the factory girl, Sarah Hosmer. Five times she % gave fifty dollars, earning tho money in a factory and sent out five native Nestorian pastors to'Christian work.

God is holy, just anclgood; the Bib^e is also holy in its aature, Just in its requirements, and [good in its provisions and tendency, ut bears on it the stamp and impress, of Deity. It contains tbe most excellent precepts. the moat weighty exhortaUops, and the most precious promisee. I It has wrought wonders in, all ages; in all places, on ajll persons and .in all possi­ble varieties of human life. It en­lightens the mind, informs the judg ment, and instructs the heart The wisdom which it teaches, is not the wisdom of this world, | but like the shell picked up by Ujd seaside which has learned to sing of toe wild waves, by lying in the deeps, s& we who have tossed to and fro in the rough sea of life„ learn to talk with a deep meaning of mysterious things, which only'this^ wisdom can teach, and the spilrit alone understand. . ;

Christianity, the religion of the Bible, has done more for the honor of the prince and the weal of the subject than any other system. It has im­proved the condition of woman,' re­claimed dissolute men and abolished human sacrifices. It has tajught tbe great lesson of self government and benevolence, encouraged hospitality, founded charitable institutions, given firmness under persecution and resig­nation at the approach of death. It has been a blessing to every] country into which it has been introduced. En wrapt in graceful robes the once naked inhabitants of this great coun* try, and rendered it both powerful and happy.

^lion of the first fruits and other per­centages. This is our mode of pro­ceeding. ' If I would buy a dollar garment I manage by self restraint ancLeconomy to get it lor eighty cents and tho remaining twenty cents I droD into the self-restraint box, or if I would give a five dollar feast to my friends, I exercise self restraint and economy;andgive it for four, dropping the remaining dollar inU> the box; or if I determine to build a house that shall coat $100, I exercise lolf-restraint and economy and build it for $80, putting the remaining $20 into the box as an offering to the Great Bright God of Self-restraint In* proportion to my annual outlays the sum in the box is large or small.

Christianity is not nreclaimed b the silver trumpet of Kings, but b the plain voice of lowly linen. One eloquent writer has said, fWhen infi­dels can grasp the winds in their fists, hush the voice of thunder by tbe breath of their mouths. Suspend, the succession of the seasons oyi their wo and extinguish the light os the sun b a veil, then and not till men can t progress of truth be rretted, or t verities of the Bible invalidated.", Un­wise and unhappy menu They are but flowing the ail, striking with a strawy writing on the* surface of the water and seeking figs where only bram^es grow. Christianity has been perseanted, yet it has triumphed. 'Like Mosefbush it was uncopsumable by fire and rose up amid im flames and prospered. • Robert Ball remarked, "We see Christianity aa ypt but in its infancy. It has not already reached the gfeat e«d it is intended to answer and to which it is constantly advan^ ing. ?At present it is but mustard seed, and seems a tender crop, but be a God's<own planting and suffer it to perish."

Not until then will our Bible and our glorious Christian religion Have ac­complished its mission.. Christianity sets the commandments to niutic ip tho soul.' Christianity makes everv good work and word like a chord, which when touched by the fingers of God makes music that would charm the angels of the Lord. May we all bave something to do in tho preparing of some soul, that lwhen the Divine^ finger is stretched forth the whole earth shall respond in one grand har­mony. Those who profess the name of Jesus, will delight in contemplating the increase and grandeur of his king­dom. He who might have moved around in gardens made by his own hand, an earthly potentate, might have charmed Sanhedrums and Uni­versities with his eloquence, who might have died in the castle of a Roman merchant the air bland with lilies and frankincense, instead of on tbe cross.
