Dr. Stebbins' Views on the Salvation Army.A Mighty Undertaking—He Hopes and

Thiuks It Will Do Good.'

'.; Pr. Stebbins had his choir sing "Hold theFort" last nijiht b?fore be commenced n dis-cussion of the scheme which Rev. WilliamJNioth, General of the Salvation Army, hassubiiitttcd as a solution uf ihe social prob-lem in his recently published book "InDarkest England, and the Way Out," Theold tune was heard with manifest satisfac-tion by ir.any of the congregation, andserved "the s exker as a starting point for adescription of tlie army, niusic-leuders andtheology.

An organization that now has 4000 stationsand H'.ioOi flicers wns worthy, the speaker(nought, (i more than casual attention. Itsmetl'.iU is that of continuous religious re-vivalism—the revivalism that was knownI. the world 10U years ngo. Its central ideais that there Is no human being that maynot come back to God and have a home inthe heavenly mansion. It his producedgreat remits in mm.bers. General Boothcbi'uiug that it has rescued tens of thou-sands.

A NKW lIEI'AKTUKE.

Yet he has come to the conclusion that tocarry out bit wcrk there must be a new de-parture fn.ui the present plan. lit)believesthat a man's lieait must be reached before

he can he reformed, but BOTH have fnll-n solow tliat they are too weak or too despairingtc ,-ir/e the ro;e that is cc cf out to them,and he iias invented a plan »or aiding theseftt'ilo.u and wittehed people.Booth is above all things a great organizer,

one of the greatest the world has everknown. He has a comprehensive knowl-edge of human rsßture, and he has adaptedullliis method to the kir.d of men he wishestv miluence. The hymns of the army areDot so lovely, so tender, nor so pathetic a?

the hymns of the negroes. They have noth-ing so sweet and tender as "Swing low,sweet cl arioi"; or

But the armytunesarc amazincly realistic.. Then- is the Inspiration of the fifeand drum

London.IX DARKEST ENGLAND.

In the city of J. mini, living in differentgrades of poverty aid destitution, there areimillion jieopie, three times as many to be

fed, clothed and housed as there are people

in this city. Thei: condition is worse, sosays Booth, than anything Stauley foundin Darkest Africa. Every attempt to helpthem has been unavailing. Booth hns aidedtliou.sands.bul the;aby.-sstillyawns?o he willtry to muster them inio the army which is anorganization in which everybody must obeyorders. It is p sitive, arbitrary and abso-lute. The Chorea of Koine has no suchpower as it exercises. Uooth can send toone of his officers in California, India orllexiro, and at ti moment's notice transferhim to the other end of the world, andif th.tt man disobeys he has no alternativebut to return to his old condition, morehopeless than before.

His plan is to found colonies In city, coun-try ai.d beyond the sea for the out-of-workcla^s^s. In the city colony they will begiven si me easy employment by which tbeywillbe enabled to cam their board. He now

lias a host emplojed in Loudon makingbenches for the stations throughout theworld. These receive no money, lint are fednnii given a daily opportunity to seek forpermanent employment. Country colonies,who will be recruited from the city, will be{Oared <iv farms and instructed in themysteries ol agriculture. The same coursewill lie pursued with those who are sent be-yond the seas. It is intended that in t!i«i':ty ci lonies there shall be associated simpleschemes of comfort and relaxation. Londonis about seventy miles from the sea, andmany of its unf< rtauates never get a glimpse

~ of the ocean. General iioolh intends thattWy stall have the means of going to theshore, aud he will propose to the roads tocarry them for one penny and back.

KXOI.AXD WOTI.D PAVE MOSEY.England now pays £10,000,000 a year Sor

the support of the poor, and Booth wants£1,000,000 witiiwtiicb to carry out his plans,lie thiuk tlii« would be a saving to thecountry. He will strike to the vitals of theexisting evils and destroy their powers. Hewill awaken the lit'ait of the man and takehim away from his surroundings.

The General is meeting with a generousri'-ponse to iiis appeal. He is receivingrifts of £20, £Kio, £1000, aud even £10,000.lie wiil have the money, and will have inhis hand-! one of the greatest enterprises onearth.

\\ ithin the last few days clouds have ap-peared upon the horizon, tliat to some mindsthreaten the success of llm scheme. Peopleare beginning to find Haws in the plan.Suppose Booth should have DOOO men on his.arm and 500. of them will not obey. Hsi;m ot make them obey. It would require;i remodeling of the laws at England. Theplan may fail. Itut suppose that it d i-sfail. Itwill bave thrown more light on the'"submerged tenth" than the world has everseen.

In conclusion Dr. Stebbius spoke hope-fully of Booth's plan, and reminded hishtarers that fue world owes some of itsgreatest debts Co men who have been uh-SUCCt'SSJUL

THE USE OF TOBACCO.A Lecturer Snys i.t.-n Christian Women

Smoke Cigarette*.At the Union-Square baptist Church last

night Mrs. W. U. Bullock, lecturer of theNational Woman's Christian Temperance

; Union, delivered an interesting address, Uiwhich she advanced many reasons why theuse of narcotics, and particularly tobacco,sbiuld be restricted.

Alluding to the Indian statues nsed astobacco signs, she said: "These statues6eem to say: 'You drove us from our homesnnd wo are powerless to redress our wrongs,hut we leave you thi*weed, which will con-tinue destruction and death when the arrowand tomahawk are forgotten.' "

Airs. .Bullock said thi» use of narcotics lies;at the root of t: c drinking evil. Tobacco.atooboL opium and its derivations have at'aneful effect upon the brain, heart andbtoinach. They excite, depress and de-range thf functions of the body, weaken. »nd depress the moral sensibiliiies. Thesin sltluts the third and fourth generationiind in ano more, striking instance is thesin of the father visited on his children.The lady also paid her respects to cigarettes,pitying that tliey are four poisons ahead inthe race, for death. Tweuty-threb StatesliaVß prohibited the sale of tubacco to per-sons nuder Uh age of 16. The liabit ofcigarette smoking, Mrs. Bullock declared, is.spreading to an alarming extent, and manyIndie? who belong to Christian churcheshave acQiiired the habit. In the UnitedStates gliuo,000,000 are spent yearly for to-bacco, and with this vast sum all the suffer-ing I'oor in the uuiou could be clotl'.t-o, fedmid sheltered.

NO SONGLESS RELIGION.JDr. Stewart Discourses on the Xesftons of

Christmas.A large congregation assembled In the

First Presbyterian Church last night to par-ticipate in the Christinas services. Themusic, which was a| piopriate to the occa-sion, wai rendered, under the direction oiProfessor Otto Fieissner. by a quartetchoir. Rev. Dr. Stewart deiiveied the ser-mon, taking for his text the words "Gloryto God in the highest, aiid on earth peace,good will toward men," with the context," Ye shall rind a batie, wrapped in swaddlingclothes. Iving in a manger."

" So," lin said, " a prince nf the house ofDavid vas born in a stable, although angels-«a:._ at his birth. Iv th;itago the advent ofa prince of peace was something novel, al-though the appfarnnee of a prince of warwas an old story. That God was a universalfather and man a brother was a startlingstatement that In those days, when the Jew-ish church reaarued nil who were not withintlie pale of the synagogue with hatred andcontempt. The fiatkn had lost the spirit ofreligion, but still clung tn the letter. Theyhad cast away tho kernel, but still held theshell. When Jesus Christ appeared it wnsnot refoimrition but revolution which wasneeded. 'Jhc Hebrew religion was nationalnot cosmopolitan; exclusive, not iuclusive;Jewish, not Christian; cistern, not west-ern. In this condition Christ found theworld. His coming marked a new era in(ur history. To him and to his teachingsmost be ascribed all the cooil now iv theworld, the morality, happiness and progress;and co we <-liould praise Ou:t for the gift ofhis sin. This happy season should be cele-brated with song, for so the angels heraldedthe ur>t Christmas, and we should neverhave a sonaless Christinas nor a songlessreligion. There are some Christians whoare tiue, intelligent, steadfast and devoted;everthing but joyful. There is no poetry intheir souls; none in their religion. Weshould hail Christmas with gladness, joy andrejoicing, and stop lone enough in the jnidstof politics, bargains and the routine of busi-ness to let into cuir souls God's light ana lite,which will nmke us better, truer and purer

" Passing and Abiding." He drew a pictureof two men, oue a devotee of the fleetingpleasures of life and the other seeking theglories of the mansion not made with hands.He.deftly sketched the lives of his imaginaryexamples and proved to the satisfaction ofnis hearers the fallacy of the proverb thathappiness is the highest aim and object oflife.

Continuing, he said: "Cities, kingdoms,empires and uatious «re passing away.This is the destiny of all —the Inw of a justand Supreme II- ing, written in colors of liv-ing light upon t..i- walls of the groat uni-verse.

BESSEMER STEEL.An Invention of Priceless Valne

to Ihe Modern World.

Ex-Mayor Hewitt surprised a good manypeople by saying at the dinner given to theiron and steel men that in his opinion theinvention of Bessemer steel was, as regardsits effect on the welfare and progress ofmankind, only second to the invention ofprinting. The grounds lor his statementwill bo recognized, however, when we callto mind the tremendous reduction in theprice oi" steel during the list thirty years,and the consequent myriad of new applica-tions of thai metal. By the so-called Besse-mer process and other allied devices, theproduction of useful kinds of so-called steels from impure ores, which pre-viously could only be employed for in-ferior cast and wrought-iron products,has been made possible. The inventionsLave been eagerly turned to account by allcivilized natious. The result has been anenormous increase in the production of ironand steel from natural sources, not only inthe older iron-producing countries, but alsoiv many countries and districts where for-merly tlie amount of Iron produced wasmerely nominal or absolutely nil. Theday, indeed, seems not far dlstat/t whenmetal prodnced by puddling in the old-fashioned way will be a thing of the past,and be wholly superseded by ingot metalcast by the Bessemer process, because thelatter is superior not only in cheapness, butIn physical qualities. For example, whilepuddled b«r-iron can bear a tensile strainof about twenty-one tons to the square inch,a hammered bar-iron that of nearly twenty-nine tons, Bes>emer iron e»n re9ist a tensilestrain of thirty-three tons to the square inch,Besse cr sott steels that of thirty-three tothirty-five tons and Bessemer hammeredsteel that of almost forty-seven tons.

Ex-Mayor Hewitt, uowrver, like nearlyevery one else who discusses ths wonderfulrevolution of the iron and steel trade in ourgeneration, sives too much credit to Besse-mer. The essential feature of the Bessemerprocess proper, patented in 1605, was theconyeisiiin of cast iron into wrought iron byforcing air thiough the molteu muss so as toburn out the carbon. Notwithstanding suc-cessive improvements patented by the in-ventor duriug tne next eighteen months, theworking vulue of the new method was foundto be but small. Itwas not until the end of18T>G that tlie irocess was rendered controll-

able aud practical by Mushet, who patentedthe iiiipToven.enl still in use of decarboniz-ing the iron by completely blowing It, anathen nildlng melted siiiegeleisen, or ferro-nianganese, in known quantity, so as to car-bonize Die mass to any n quired extent, andat the same time by mtrouueing manganeseinto tliecoiui'o.-itlon, to diminish the injuri-ous effects of sulphur, phosphorus, etc., onits physical qualities. Poor Mushet had toallow his patent right to lapse through hisinability to pay the requisite fees in thethird yekr, and, consequently, his name l:asbeen forgotten by ex-Mavor"Hrwitt and theworld in general, though to the iudustiytransforming value of the so-called Basse*lnor process Mushet cotiliibulcd at leastasnuich as it*reputed author.—BT.
