The World-Wida Evangelist,MEMORIAL ADDRESS, DELIVERED AT OCEAN-

GROVE, N. J., SA1WATH AFTKUNOON, .TAN.11, 1891, BY REV. E. H. STOKES, D. D.

■■MRS. MARTHA J . INflKIP-BATEMAN, receutly departed> was no ordinary woman.

I shall proceed at once to outline her life, which outline will more than sustain this statement. !

She was tlie duughter of Isaac and Martha Foster, born at the paternal home,

• Elk Neck, Md., August, 1819, near where the British Gen.. Howe landed liis troops

. just before the battle of Brundywlne, in the revolutionary 'War. She was one of twelve children, all of'whom, excepting one brother, Francis Asbury Foster, named

. after Bishop Asbury, who pleached in that neighborhood, have passed away. This brother is the father of Mrs. Charles Prid-

V ham, lata of Ocean Grove, now of Egles- ton Heights, Fla., and also of Mrs. Carrie, wife of Rev. J . L. Howard; pastor of the M. E. Church, Lakewood, N. J.

HER EARLY LIFE. /V .Mrs. Inskip was converted at a camp-

meeting held near Elkton, Md., when 9 years old,'and joined the. church under the ministry of Rev, William Cooper, of the Philadelphia Conference.

On Nov. 1,1880, then in her seventeenth' year, she became the wife of Rev. John S.Inskip, who was junior preacher ..on the Cecil circuit, and in his first year in the Conference on probation. He was accus­tomed all through his after life to Bay with great emphasis, that to her,: under God, mpre than anyone else, he ow’ed his ministerial success',- as well as his domes­tic bll8ai From the time of their mar­riage until his death, the two must be re­garded as one, in more than an ordinary

' sense. The life of the one .was the life of the other. In labors and success, toils and rest, at home or abroad, they were one and Inseparable. The preacher in charge of the circuit, Rev. Samuel Grace, being a batchelor, and the junior preacher now married,^ Mr. and Mrs. Inskip occu­pied the parsonage, a farm house large enough to accommodate twenty . persons, and the farm had; seventy acres. At a quarterly meeting they entertained over a score of people with food and lodging.But the people had not much time to eut or sleep for a revival of religion had broken out, and tho old farm house par­son sage was all ablaze-with glory. Room echoed to room with shouts of victory and songs of triumph. .

• ITINERANCY.From hero they removed to.Easton, Pa.,

where they both had a severe attack of small, pox. Then to Western Church,Philadelphia, then to Kensington, Phlla., where they had 300 converted; then to Salem Church; Philadelphia, where Mrs.Inskip was severely ill; then to German­town, Ph., where huBband and wife en­gaged in such labors .as-resulted in a great revival.

In 1840 they were transferred to the Cincinnati Conference, and stationed at Ninth Street Church in that city. Hero Mrs. Inskip organized and took charge of tho first infant school west of the Alle­ghany Mountains. From thence to Day­ton, Ohio, whore at the close1 of the pas­toral term, the official resolutions speak of him, who, with' tlie co-operation of his dear wife, our milch beloved Sister Inskip, has caused to be erected, a commodious chapel for tho worship of God:

" JRetolval, Ttiftt Brother and Sister Iaaklphavo, by their amaibUlty aud Christian deportmeut.•endeared, themsolves to’tho congregation, ana have our CTih'reajjprai’a/ ctf thctr conduct; also, our wannest thanks lor tbeir labor of love,*’ :'. Their next appointment was Urbana, where they had a revival, and from which placo Mrs. Inskip came eust to collect funds for furnishing tho new church.

Here they had great trouble on tho ques­tion of 2)romi$cuous sittings in the church during divine worship. From tho action df the Ohio- Conference on this subject, which reflected unfavorably upon Mrs.Insklp's course la the case, Vie appealed \o the General Conference of 1852 in Boston, influences of which eternity alone will ro-

While absent attending to' his appeal, Mr. Inskip wrote him from Troy, Ohio, where they were then stationed, and said: “ In your address manifest a Christian spirit; keep cool; pray for grace. You will not lose by being kind. But at tho same time, be firm os tbo rock of Glbrolter. Do not give an inch. I f I thought you would bo like somo I know, I would be ashamed of you, but thank God, you aro not that kind."

BEFORE TIIE GENERAL CONFERENCE.His address in defence of his course oc­

cupied 70 pages of closely written fools­cap paper. I t took him two sessions of the Conference to dellver.it. At the Close the Conference and the audience were in a tumult, &nd so applauded (an unusual thing in that day) that Bishop Morris, who was presiding, had to rebuke and call them to orderi Father Taylor, the old sailor preacn^r, sprang to his feet, handed him his chair, and in the midst of great excite­ment, said:■ "B e seated, sir; You .have buried these felloWs so deep that the sound of Gabriel's trumpet would.not reach them in a thousand years.” v .

The action of the Ohio Conference was reversed. Inskip had triumphed; the clay was won;,.and hero l e t m e add, because of the battle fought that day, you and I have the privilege of sitting with our families in the house of God* as we do at home, and: that letter written by Mrs, Insklp from her ,home in Troy, Ohio, had much to do in helping, him win his cause. Still, there was, because of this, a lingering prejudice' against him West, and so. being sought l>y several churches East, lie was transferred to the New York Conference, and stationed successively at Madison Street, New York, Fleet Street, Brooklyn, Centenary, Brook­lyn, DeKalb Avenue; Brooklyn, and Cherry Street, New York. I n all tliese ch urches revival followed revi val, In which it was .often difficult to determine which was the more influential, the husband or th e . wife, while: each • awarded the glory, first to Gotlj1 and; then with/ hearts' full of gratitude; eucli to the.other, in the fondest love. J v-‘

IUG1IEll EXPERIENCE.They were stationed in 1804 a t ;South

Third street, Brooklyn; Mrs. Inskip was at this time thirsting after God witli great spiritual fervency; Thisinterest had been Intensified at the "Tuesday afternoon meeting,” Held by Dr. and Mrs. Palmer. In the winter of 1808, she says, t( we were engaged one evening to take.a social tea at the, house o f a friend. 'When I arrived my husband and all - the company hatj as­sembled, and were waiting for me. The pressing demand was, to know what hud kept me. I did not want to tell them, but being urged, finally said, ‘ If you must know, I will say, I have been to Df. Palm­er's meeting.’ The suppressed response Was, * You bepri to Dr; Pulmeir’s meeting V’ Yes,’ I replied, ‘ I have, and I'say to you,

they have' something there that; I; have not, a n d I mean by the blessing of Qod to have it,* ”

On the 15th of the following August,she and her husband went to the Sing Sing camp meeting, and On the following Fri­day morning, Aug. 19,1804, she was led to the experience of perfect love in the tent of Mrs. Sarah Langford, now Mrs. Sarah Langford-Pulmor. It was a day of great joy to her hesrt, and the beginning of a new life. The intelligence was soon curried to her husband, who, though not surprised, wus, as ho confessed, greatly ufllicted and mortified. To-the messenger lie returned an answor ofthe most decided disapproba­tion. This, he confessed, only increased his embarrassment and added to his re­grets. He had become greatly.prejudiced against’ the experience of holiness. He felt tlie need of “ more religion,,,:“ a deep­er work of grace,” and “ a baptism of the Spirit'.” But the idea of entire sanctifica­tion had become repulsive to him; To Mrs. Inskip this was a real grief, but made no difference In her course or action.

Od:their return to -Brooklyn she gave a clear ringing testimony . in the church' at the publ ic prayer meeting. On the follow­ing Sabbath Mr. Inskip preached, much against his own feelings,- from “Seeing we alsoare compassed about with so'great a cloud o f wit nesses, let us lay as ide e very weight, V tCc,.' While preaching, and urging the people with all the vehemence of which he was capable, to lay, aside every weight, and do it now, a- voice, that seemed like the peal of an archangel's trump, said plainly* “Do this yourself.” Whereupon ha re­sponded, I call- heaven and earth to wit­ness, “ that I now •declare, I will be hence­forth,; wholly the Lord's”. Just hero his faith gathered additional strength, and

looking unto Jesus,” exclaimed witli the highest rupture, “ I am, O Lord, wholly and forecor thine."

. REVIVAL FERVOR.The greot work was accomplished; a

new life of unexampled, success and tri­umph .was commenced; tho tuvireuclung

veal—but whatever tho revelations of that day may be on this point, to Martha J , In* skip, as an instrumentality, will belong the honor.and the reward. ■

j To a woman of less force, and moro conservative than she, the strong will of

’ John S. Insklp would never, have bowed. * But, next to God, he adored his wife, and with divine help her prayers brought him low at the foot of the cross, where she had been herself, and where he was held until the doorways of his'soul were .fully opened and his spiritual nature flooded with divinity:.brought him to a new life, which henceforth was wholly devoted to God. I speak of this more particularly because this was one of tho more import­ant achievements of'7tcr marvelous life. The very first hour of this new experience the revival commenced In his church, and continued until both their lives were closed in death.

A t the Green Street Church, New York city, their next /appointment, the revival followed them, and both pastor and his wife had wonderf ul success. Mrs. Inskip’s Bible class in this church numbered nearly One hundred, most of whom professed conversion. . '• ‘y .‘r:-A;\

.. NATIONAL CAMP MEETINGS. ' 'About this time the National .Camp

Meeting Association for the Promotion of Holiness was organized. Bro. Insklp was elected its first, and up to his death re­mained its only president. But for his position und experience on the subject of holiness this would not have been the case, and because of his presidency the Whole movement was a Wonderful success. So full, indeed; were.both husband and wife with- this great evangelistic movement, and so fully were they both impressed that the work Was of. God, that aft®r'serv­ing, the Eutaw Street Church, Baltimore, for two years, being the close of his thirty- fifth year in the. pastorate, that he took a supernumerary relation, and lie and: liis wife, like Abraham of old, scarcely know­ing where they Were going, wholly with­out salary* trusting Iri God alone,' gave themselves entirely -to the evangelistic work. Doors were immediately opened on every hand. Husband preached; wife sung, prayed,; exhorted - and ^invited; . to the altar. Combined, what a power- they were I Under: their united efforts, every­thing burned with tho fire of divine love, and every time and .everywhere, multi­tudes were saved.

•WESTERN INCIDENTS. • ;Soon the trip to the -Pacific coast ^vos

projected. No matter'where he went she was always with him. Without her he never could have been what he was. This he knew,.and hence, unless s h e * was de­tained by some physical disability, never went without her. The wave of her hand in an , exhortation;was a power, and her songs an inspiration. ;

All along the way westward, at Confer­ences, in towns, cities or country places— everywhere, their coming was the oc­casion of an ovation.' At Sacramento and Santa Clara, Cul., and

Salt Lake City there wero great displays of divine power, and mauy huudreds, if not thousands, were converted, reclaimed or wholly sanctified. . •

At Sacramento occurred the exciting scene of finding a long.lost brother of Mrs. Insklp. For seventeen years he had not: been heard from. But the sisterly love hoped ho might yet be found. Stradge enough, when the evangelists reached Sac­ramento City they were within five miles of. where he lived—-a hermit. In ' some way he heard of his sister’s com ing, . and on Sabbath morning .'went into town to churCh. v He sat where he couid see his sister. All" liis past life came up before lilm. Mr. Inskip preached a, sermon of great power.. Mrs. Inskip sang. The. brother lingered to tako a last look'at one he had so much loved. Just at. that mo­ment his sister, not knowing her brother was there, commenced to sing, “ My uU to Christ I’ve given.” 1 Its resolution to leave broke down. Ho went to Mr. Inskip, and rasping his hand, said, “ Don’t yoU know

mo?” “ No,” said Mr. Inskip* “ Don’t you know your brother-in-law?” was asked, Mr. Inskip started bae.k and said, “ Is it possible? Charles, is it you ?” then hurriedly calling to his wife said, “ Mar­tha, hero is a gentleman who wftnts to speak to you. Do you know him ?” Sho looked a moment, hesitated and then ex­claimed in a kind of delirious rapture, “ Why, it’s my brother Charles 1” and Hew to , his embrace. You can imagine the rest. Uo attended a n\imber of the meet­ings, was graciously restored.to tho divine favor, and soon after roturued to his fOr- .mer home at North East", where in the bosom of his family, he died iu tho tri- uphs of faith about three weejcs after his arrival. ; .

Si\it Lake City was a hard Held, but faith

triumphed and souls were saved. •"| In this expedition they traveled about7,000. miles, held 150 public meetings, re-

j flulting in the full salvation of. hundreds arid .the conversion of many huhdreds more. •

They returned East with songs of tri­umph In time for the National and other camp-meetlngs. The Summer wns spent at Round Lake, Urbana, Williamsville, Indianapolis, Boston, Sea Cliff, Richmond Me., Moundsvillo, W; Va., and so' on, Winter and Summer, and everywhere, large numbers were saved.:.. In 1870 ho was elected editor of the Christian Standard, wh I ch position h e held until death; but notwithstanding this, he and lild e v o te d wife still went every- where, preaching the gospel, exhorting the gospel,, singing tho gospel, pleading ,the gospel, weeping the gospel, and with gos- pel directions and promises leading the people on and lifting them up by a grip of almost omnipotent faith, into the sunlight of mercy and love.

. 1' • . ROUND TtlE .WORLD. -In 1880 the trip around the globe was

arranged. I t was composed of represent­atives of the National Association, Mr. and Mrs. Inskip in the van. They started full of enthusiasm, and crossing the ocean spent 100 days in Enginnd, holding 200 public services, resulting in the salvation of. not less thaQ 3,000 so'uls, 800 of. which were conversions. They left Liverpool for India, via Bay of • Biscay, Straits of Gib* raltaiv Port Said, Suez Canal, Red Sea; 1,200 uiiies, then across the Indian Ocean^ 1 ,(JG-i m 11 es, to Bombny, which they reached Nov, 10, 18S0, where thoy met Amanda Smith singing “A little moro faith in Jesus.”

The party was In India 83 days, trav. eled 2,022 miles through the heart of the country,, held. 180 -religious services;,at­tended two Annual Conferences, preaching the same old,gospel, singing’ the same old songs? offering tlie.same prayers, pointing to the same universal Saviour whof died for the sins of. the whole world* and all attended by the very same, power they had at, Pentecost;. On the 12th of February, 1881, the party

separated; part returning to England,,while Mr. Insklp. tind- Wife and W. B. Osborn and wife embarked for Australia. They remained there eight' weeks, saw 2,500 people saved, two^thirds of whom were converted and tho others sanctified.

From Australia, leaving Bro. . Osborn and wife behind, after 7,100 miles of sea travel, they entered the Golden Gate at San Francisco, June 18,1881, and on June 29 arrived at Ocean Grove. A public re­ception was tendered them at the Taber­nacle, and It was my privilege to ring the bells of • :

A JOYOUS WELCOME HOME.They were scarcely settled at home be­

fore they were oil again for their Summer camp-meeting;work. He, $7ie—rbotlv'full .of faith und fervor, and according to their faith, so it wus—churches revived, souls saved, backsliders redeemed,., believers sanctified, and all aglow with love divine. So it continued until lie ceased at once to wo'rlc anti live, -March 7, 1834.

After his departure the mantle of her Elijah fell on her w ith' a full portion of his spirit, and she went forth at every call to carry on tho work which ho had laid down. Perhaps at no period was her work more marked-than since liis departure. She did not sit down to mourn, but girded, herself anew for toil. In'New York.city, Philadelphia, - •Wilmington, Baltimore, South Carolina, 'Georgia,1 Florida, ut: the. National Camp-meetings and other great religious gatherings, sho was mighty in word aud- deed. In many parts of the United States, England, India, Australia, und for tho last fifteen years or more here* she held children’s meetings, in which, besides, the- many thousands of adults, through a period of more thnu fifty years, who were .helped or saved, perhaps fully

TEN THOUSA'ND CHILDREN WERE CON*.V e r t e d ,

many of whom uow • grown to manhood and womanhood, aro.lioldiug important positions iti tho church aud world, while great multitudes, letl ou by her ascended husband, have no doubt hnsteued to wel- come her to heaven amid tho rejoicings of all tho celestial hosts, aud waving the palms of victory aud eternal gladness.

At Ocean Grove, Summer or Winter, for a score of years,, with moro or less Inter­ruptions, as her outside work demanded, iu tho church and in the seasou at tho Auditorium sho has been ellicietit in every form of work, and always ready without excuse to do hot* part.

At West Grove sho had great success in leading souls to Christ. Also at Ocean Park and Asbury Park, and at numerous places she helped with an unsparing hand.: . I said in the . beginning that Martha J.

Inskip was no ordinary woman. .1 ask now, does not this narrative, so brief and itn per feet, prove the statement. /

To the.elect ladles-and eminent1 saints, such as Ludy Maxwell,'Mrs. IJester Ann Rogers, Mrs. Fletcher,- Lady Huntingdon and others,, in the days of John Wesley, ! render all honor, and reverence them for their devoted and blameless lives, which they have left as precious legacies to the church. Yet* in view of the greatly en­larged opportunities, longcontinued labors, the , extended evangelistic 'travels . and abundant success In soul-3aving work,. Mrs. Martha J. Inskip Was more abundant than them ail,'' and I do riot now know where to turn even in the modern church to find her equal in all these things.' . • *'

In conclusion, I now ask, as brlcfiy as possible, what were

THE ELEMENTS OF HER SL'CCESS. *

First. A . profound religious experi- ence. An experience" broad, deep, clear, abiding. Iler conversion at the camp- meeting at the early, age .of 9 years 'was thorough, and sh s Worked and grew on that basis for 3 5 years., August ■ 19, 18G4, at another-Camp-meetlng, she entered into a state known rind approved In all Methi odist theology as entire sanctification, as far beypnd her previous life its oceans are beyond pools or; rivulets. For the last twenty.slx years, therefore, she has lived in this high state and proclaimed it every­where, and; under, all conceivable variety of circumstances, with full faith In God,• always,expecting success and always, hav­ing it. This broader, deeper and h.ighei experience, received, in' 1804, gave to the church not only her own greatly enlargedV but also the wonderfully increased power of ber ;husband . for - twenty-six • hlessecl years also. Thus newly and inore abund­antly gratified for greater usefulness, they were together generally so irresistibleas that the walls of every Jericho fell before them, and the might of the eternal Trinity wus with them.

Secondly. Sho was a woman of unin- timiduted' perseverance; Satis lied that a thing was rigiit and ought to be done by her, she went forward to the accomplish­ment and never rested until the thing was done. This was true in the religious realm, aud It wus trite in the temporal also. Added to the multitudes saved, she collected large sums of money for-the various benevolences at home and abroad.

For a'tes'timonial to our first superintend­ent at this place, Rev. W. B. Osborn, she collected about $3,000, and with It built and presented to him tho cottage' where his father died, and where his mother and sister, now. live, corner of Lake avenue and Pilgrim Pathway, near the lower bridge.

AN INDIA MONUMENT..While In India the government of that

country agreed to give $10,000 for the erection of a girls' school’ in Calcutta, to be under the cure of our mission workers there, if Mrs* Iuskip .would raise §10,000 moro. She at ouco glided herself for this great ’ work. Sho succeeded, -and when Bishop Thoburn was here, after the Gen­eral .Conference In 1888, she paid him the amount in full; which $10,000, because the difference in exchange was in our favor, was worth about $12,500, which sum the government of Queen Victoria generously covered, so that Mrs. Inskip’s effort for that school really amounted to ‘$25,000. This school Is in active operation, and will be;a blessing on through tho coming years. '' She also raised the money and built the

Insklp Memorial Chapel fit Egleston Heights, Florida, and at the time the Mas­ter called her was actively engaged with" all her characteristic energy in establish- ing auother cnmp-meetlng ground at ..Egleston, and before it was completed ceased to work aud live.

Iu her. religious work she went after the wauderitig. and brought them back -rer jolcing. .When she went to hold a meet- ing it was to save souls, and she never rested until souls were saved.

Thirdly. Iu her work site was uaturul. People saw that she.was sincere, and that her earnestness was not put on for tlie occasion, but was the outgoing of an iu. dwelling force.

Her exhortations were plain, pointed, powerful; never making what might in any sense be called a’ speech, but always talking yon, so that each ono felt, she means me! These simple, earnest, tearful entreaties, accompanied with prayers' tak­ing hold of tho eternal throne, always bore fruit, and what she asked she had;

POWER in soxo.Fourthly. A pre-eminent source of her

power was iu soug. I have over and over again seen a meeting hub deep in the ruts ofold formality.lifted in a moment by tlie matchless magic of her songs.. These songs were not always in tho world’s esti­

mate, highly artistic, yet what was vastly better, they were always intensely aoulistic. Her voice,'admirably adapted to sacred song,.and her soul full of divinity, mado

j her melodies like whispers of mprcy from | tho heart of God, or a bugle blast enthus- * ing tho militant hosts to higher victories.I I low many a sluggish soul has beeu stirred by her “ Sing of Ills mighty love,” or led by “ I am coming, Lord to thee,” or enriched by “ I’m the child of a King,” or purified by “ The cleansing stream I. see, I see,” or comforted by “ The sweet by and b3%” or lifted by “ Is' not ‘this the land of Beulah,”-or quickened in the Zion­ward march by “ Thfere’s a better day a coming, coming by and by,” or carried skyward by that inspiring refrain, “ What a gathering that will be.” IIow she sung these songs with scores of others, up and down these lands, over the seas, up moun­tain slopbs, on mountain' summits—east, west, north and south, and knowing noth­ing but tlie glory of God, sung oh till worn and weary she melted out Into the light of heaven, there to take up again and break out anew with .

u Tho old, old Mory,Which she hud loved so long." ■'

Family altars, social circles, holiness meetings, churches, childrens’ meetings,, camp meetings, religious meetings of every kiud will miss for all time tho In- . spiration Of these songs, for go whero wo may, hear what we may, we shall not hear her voice or her songs, until wo hear them anew In heaven, and even then, so much beyond what they were on earth, wo shall hardly know them there.

Such, Christian-sisters and brothers, Isa faint outline of the Martha J . Insklp many of you have known so long, and such somo of tho elements that mado her what she was. . Does the portrature discourage you? Nay, nay, let it ruther enthuse you to emu­late, her high example. But you say, wo , can never reach it!- In ono sense perhaps uot. In another sense, yes. Martha J , Inskip simply did what she could. I t was much. You can do what you can, and though It be'but little, that little being t h e ^ moasuro of your ability, is all that OocT^' requires. /

. CLOSE OF A GREAT CAREER.On the 2d day of September, i890, at

Ocean Grove, N. J., Mrs. Martha J . Insklp was married by Rev. John Thompson, of Philadelphia, to Rev. Ashley L. S. Bate­man, D.D., pastor of tho In3kip Memorial Chapel, Egleston, Florida. Tho newly married pair left immediately for' their Southern homo and work, and unitedly en­gaged with great earnestness in promoting' tho interests of the local church and ar­ranging for the’ Egleston Heights Camp Meeting to be held In February next. About the middle of December she Was taken with a congestive ohili, which de­veloped in gastric fever. From tho begin­ning but little hope was entertained by her many . friends ‘attending her. With these discouraging views, however, she did not sympathize a t . first, feeling her work was not yet done; but she was mis­taken. . From a very dear friend of her3 aud of all tho Ocean Grove people, who was, and still is on the spot, I have this most satisfactory note: “ Oar dear fripnd, Mrs. Bateman’s last hours on earth were very peaceful. She was sometimes ua-- conscious, but to the lust, during lucid mo-' ments, with hands clasped and eyes lifted, would softly murmur, “ He is so precious,”“ I am resting in Jesus” . Atunotber time she.suid, “ I am feasting on heavenly mun- uu.” To a dear frieud betiding over iier, she said: “ Christ is all, and in all. . Agara, to a friend ueur, she said, “ I hear your organ every night, and siuging.” Three nights she heard singing and music, com­ing, she said, from the church: and added,- “ they are singing doxologies.” But not au instsumentof*any kind hud been open­ed in Egleston during the ten days of her’ sickness. Still wo did. uot contradict her, knowing full well that what she heard wts the bewildering strains, of harp strings swept by heavenly hands: '*

To her life.long aud bosom friend, Mrs. Thorne, while ministering to her wauts and moistening her -lips, sho would sweetly whisper over and over; “ I Um so happy.”

On Christmas day her grandson, Mr. John E. Inskip, of Lansingburg, N. Y., who had been, without her knowledge, telegraphed for, liurrylug to her side, ten- derly bent over her, asking, “ Do you know me V" A bright smile of recognition Uitted acrosS’her face, and looking into his eyes, exclaimed, “ Why, yes; it’s Johnny.”

Later, pointing upwards, she said to her husband, our dear Ilio. Hateman,

• ■ . “ MY RODE AND MY CROWN.“At 9 o'clock on -Friday morning, Dec.

2(j; lSUD,.she. passed over to the laud where they rest from tlie '.labors and their.work's d » f‘l{mo them. , • •

May wo all uieet her there.. A m en.

Evangelist Rev. Henry J .

Mr. and Mrs. Pierson, with accompanying vocal and instrumental helpers, go out into the “ highways and hedges” preaching free and full salvation from their unique gospel carriage, which is always en route when weather permits, and thus the. good tidings are brought to thousnnds who throng Ihe downward rood of sin and death.

The fourth and last Quarterly Confer­ence for St. Paul’s, Ocean Grove, was held on Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 14, the pre­siding elder, Dr. James Moore, being pres, ent, with a full representation of tho offi­cial, board, who united in the following testimonial to pastor Rev. Ilenry Belting:

AVhkukas, As our beloved pastor. Rev. Henry Belting. J.h dosing the four Hi year of his pastorate in St. Paul's Church, wo desire to record our Bcntvc of tho valuable serv ice ho has rendered us In this relation.• JtcMlnd, 1.

The beautiful residence of Mrs. Leah Summers, on Multi avenue, Ocean Grove; was tho scene of a joyous company on Thursday evening, Jan. 8, it being.the occasion of her birthday anniversary, With her family a number of. Invited friends of her Infunt class were present. The evening was siient in song and recre-

. atlon, after which the company sat down to a sumptuous table, loaded with ' an abundance of good things .which her own generous hands hod provided. • Mrs. Sum­mers is still in charge of the infant de­partment of St. Paul's Sunday-school, nnd has been very successful in biluglug her class .up to Its very prssperous condition. Wo trust sho may live to furnish many such enjoyable entertainments.

An *' extra meeting” was commenced iu St. Paul’s Church on Tuesday evening nnd. started off grandly after a brief discourse on Paii, 120: 0, by the pastor. Tho prayer servico. was unusually earnest and tho membership rallied In good old-fashioned style. On Wednesday evening Presiding Elder Moore gave u rousing, exhortation and created a shout-in‘tho camp, while

M essrs. Wardell, Beegle, Snyder, Asay and sevorul of tho sisters participated in the after-meeting, and wero blessed in tho discharge of duty.

The recent death of Mrs. Insklp vividly revives tho work of tho two, while on earth, aud there could bo no better, time than the present for, your readers to get and study his laborious life, for whatever may bo snid of Mrs. Inship, simply tho contents of this book need to be known in order fully to understand.

Yours truly, E. II. Stokes!- Ocean Grove, ja ti. 12,1891.

Tho eager Interest of those present in all the thrilling facts and incidents crowd­ed into tho nddrpss was quite noticublo, and with hearts deeply moved, another favorite hymn, entitled “ The homo of tho soul,” was annoucced by Rev. James L. Howard, of Lakewood. It was hero inti­mated that the “ world-wide evangelist” on her.departure from Ocean Grove, after the labors of last summer, requested, In the event of her death, that Mrs. G. M. Ben­nett should sing this hymn at her funeral services, with the chorus which has lately become so popular:. ,

l’vo anchored my soul in tbp bnvou of rest,Pll sail tho wide seas no more.

Tho storms may sweep o'er tho wild awdUog deep, • -

But in Jesus I’m safe evermore.M .These stanzas, led by Mrs. Bennett, had

a melting effect, and were repeated by re­quest of Dr. Stokes, who called attention to the long voyages nnd frequent storms encountered in journey lug around the world to tell the glad news of salvation.

Rev. A. E. Bullard, iu a brief and feel­ing address, referred to tho period when Rev. J . S. Inskip, stricken ivitli paralysis, came here to Ocean Grove to die, and his faithful and devoted wife, whom we now mourn, cheered his last days nnd hours by her bright, happy splritnud inspiring songs and prayers, nnd how, standing by his coffined remains, she was enabled in her triumphant faith to lead in tho tender song-of Zion, entitled “ Tho sweet bye* and-bye,” and also, at hor husband’s open grave, to sturt the old battle hymn of the National Camp-meeting Association,

There is a fountain filled with blood.” “ 1'hey aro 8ingiug^ together now,” tho speaker remarked, “ In the realms of eter­nal life. What a rupture they enjoy in the heavenly reuuion.” . ; .

Tho choir then sung tho “ Sweet bye* and-bye,” after which,. Dr. Wallace being called up, merely announced the 'proba­bility that for tho satisfaction of tho lurgo numbers who could not attend this memor­ial service, Dr. Stokes's address would bo printed entire,and for tho tens of thousands outside of Ocean Grove,all over this coun­try, from tlio -Atlantic to-the Pacific, and from Orchard Beach to Florida, who havo been blessed and helped by her wonderful ministry! a memoriul volume, including an account of the present servico, might shortly bo published.

The losses in every sense wero terrific, and yet they struggled on as best they could.

Thirteen years ago, after the mother began to emergesomewbnt from the worse than Eyptian darkness which had en­shrouded her, she wrotomo a touching and tender request—too tender to he denied— to write a little poem on the forty-third" anniversary of their wedding. Tho poem was written, and hinting as lightly as might lie to the sorrows, concludes as foi-

1 lows: • '• * . .IlaH, marrtago day t tbo earth and sky Sing forth their own soft melody;And children's songs in sweetness roll,Liko sunlight ripples through tho soul,

Preachers’ Meeting.The storm made tho brethren scarce at-

Preachers’ Meeting Monday morning, but those who wero there got some very help­ful points on tho use and abuse of the voice through tho discussion of an article on that subject by brethren who could give the results of practical experience. Bro. Fisher, owing to pressure of other duties, • having asked more timo on tho subject assigned hlmj the literary commit­tee requested Bro. J . Lelund Howard, of Lakewood, N.

The A, P, and 0. S. Bank;From the financial statement of the As­

bury Park and Ocean Grove Bault, which wo publish in this numbor, It will be uoticed that the institution is steadily growing in popular favor, its cash earn­ings since organization aro reported to bd over $13,000. This exceeds tho expecta­tions of the most sanguine when a third bank was proposed in Asbury Park. Wo wore among those who believed It would be one too many; but from the very start, it has been a signal success. Ono reason for this result is evident to all—tho con­tinuous application to business of its offi­cers and clorks, who each put In a full day’s work behind thoir desks,- and are often seen hard at thoir accounts after bus­iness hours and late into the night.. The Directors also consider it no hardship to give timo and attention to tho affairs of the bank; so.’with the stockholders, who consider their interests in tho very best bands. President WInsor and Cashier Dayton, and their expert assistants, have each and all a first-rate standing in the community. ’

Post Office Affairs.Now that tho post office has boon re­

leased from the', summer pressure tho causes of many of tho complaints against the office are cnpablo of analyzntion and in somo respects of remedy. Among tho thousands of letters recoived there are somo which aro never given to their owners. In many cases tho ways of. ask­ing for them are imporfect or incorrect. One caso was whore a lady persistentlycalled day after day for Emma ’----------- .After a good deal of vigorous denunci­ation of the office it occurred to the post­master to ask her to spoil tho name,, whensho promptly responded, M, A. -------- ,nnd recoived her letter. Thoro were sev­eral cases similar in kind, and in all It was difficult to persuade the parties that their imperfect articulation was not tho fault of tho clorks, who could not understand them. Somo are not delivered because they aro called'for by a difforont address from .tfiat upon tho letter. In ono vcaso where the • offico was reported to the' department for detaining a letter for two weeks the letter was called for Mrs. Rev.D r . •, while the address upon theletter was Mrs. Helen — . Nothingcould persuade tho irato.clalmont that tho office ought not to have known that' Mrs. Ile lou — was Mrs. Rev. D r . .

Considerable difficulty arose from thoro being two or . more people of tho same name wboro letters were addressed to this office. In some cases some of them had boxes, and a letter directed to James

-— , intended for general delivery, would got placed In a box, or a letter intended for a box got into a general delivery. With nil the care posslblo mis­takes hero could not bo prevented.

Somo addresses wero so imperfectly written that they would be put ln cases where the people would not rench them. Ono reported cuso was where tho final Initial was intended for an R, but which was ns plain a K ns it w’os possible to make. The letter remained in the K box for a number of days when the postmaster guessed it might bo R and the letter reached its owner. L’s and. S's, M's and W’s, with Other letters; were frequently so confounded that it was often out of tho power of the office to determine what was meant and tho delivery was delayed.

Somo persons would call just before a distribution of tho mail, and would be told there wus nothing for thom, That partic­ular mail would contain a letter which they.wouId. receive when they called the next day. When they would, insist, that tho letter had been In the. office when they called and the clerk hud boon too careless to give It to them..

Sometimes a letter was culler', for.as “ Catharine when it was addressed , as Kato, and it would be In a box marked K when it was asked for ns C. •

In the letters to bo forwarded tho direc­tions wero often very difficult to make put. In ono case where the office was reported for falling to forward a number of letters directed to a-town in New Jersey, it was discovered that the letters had been prop* erly forwarded but that the distributing offico could not make out tho directions and that thoy had gone to Kansas, from whence they were eventually recalled.

In several cases where tho office was put to large inconvenience in searching It was afterwards ascertained that the let­ters had never been mailed at all, but overloaked, and afterwards found in tbe owners’ pockets or in thoir drawers. Some had been.given to children and lost on the way. Others to boarders who forgot to- deliver thom at the offico. Some wero dropped outside the box upon thelloor and found their w.ay to the street. Quite a large number were mailed omltt’ng tho name of either the town or State to which thoy were, to go. . Without tho town a direction was nearly impossible, nnd with­out the State it might as naturally go to one as another.out of a hundred places of the same name in tho Union. Even when tracers, letters of inquiry, and all the par­aphernalia employed by tho post offico department had brought the deficient letter back, and they wero shown tho insufficient address, they would in some cases still blame the offico for not seeing that tho letter wont where they desired it should.

Some wero put in the office without any direction at ull. The parties Insisted that the letter hnd been mailed, nnd so It had but could not bo forwnrded because it could not bo told whore it was to go. Thoy too always believed the office had been careless. .

I t was a very frequent matter that letters wero dropped in tho receiving box without stamps upon them. The writers intended to put stamps on them and supposed they had done so, and unless their letter was shown them thoy would not bellcvo they had been so careless. Most of these were, forwarded through tho private gifts of Bro. Yatman and tho postmaster, so that but little delay occurred from ..this cause.

In tho delays of package and newspaper delivery the causes wero usually found In the packages being so flimslly wrapped that the direction was gone and. the nows- papor direction rubbed or torn away.

Yot with all this very few cases occurred of eventual loss. -Theto wore two or three letters containing small sums of money going from this offico which novor came to light. Tho responsibility lu ouo case lay.between this ofllcd, a railway postal clerk, the offico where they wero delivered

and tho carriors from that office. In an­other tho writer had enclosed a postal order in a letter in sight of othor people and theu left it lying on the outside coun­ter for so mo clork to mail from which it was probably picked up by somo one who saw him mall it.. About an equal numbor wero reported to have been sent here which could not eventually bo traced. Re­sponsibility in tliis case would bo divided between the office issuing it, the postal clerk in transit and tho office hero. In ono of these cases It was certain that tho letter did not reach here, ami in the others nearly so.

Of other letters thoso which did not roach tho Writer had in most cases a satis­factory reason growing out of tho letters themselves or tho mode of being called for. Occasionally in the hurry and rush of thousands of letters waiting distribu­tion a mistake would bo make by a clerk which was remedied as rapidly o& possible, but when tho vast number received nnd delivered during the busy season is taken into tho account tho wonder Is that there W’ore so few.

Ocean Park.Tho four days of special gospel services

held under the auspices of the New' Jersey Holiness Association, commenced in the Ocean Park M. E. Church Saturday even­ing, Jan. fid, with a consecration meeting In charge of Rev. G. Hughes, president of the Association. The lecture room was filled aud it was a season of great blessing to those present, being h preparatory ser­vico for tho four days campaign to follow. Tho meeting was strictly on the line of Holiness, for the purpose <)f- an especial awakening of the church, which was large­ly accomplished.

Tho services on Sunday .were well at­tended. The love-fenst at 0 a . m., led by the senior pastor, Dr. E. II. Stokes, w'as; full of fire and the Holy Ghost. Tho hour was promptly filled In by the glowing tes­timonies of tho church members and of others from Ocean Grove. The music, in charge of Sister Cassle Smith and her noice, added considerable vim, and to them we ore very gratoful for the efficient ser­vice rendered during the entire four days. The sermon of the morning by Brother Hughes was followed by the sacrament of the Lord’s suppor, which was a very im­pressive service. At 3 o’clock r . M. Sister Cassle Smith conducted a children’s and young people's meeting. Preaching in the evening by Rev. G. Clarke, of Ocean Grove. This closed a full day’s work which only preceded threo others of the same order.

Social service at O a . m ; on Monday, con­ducted by the pastor. Preaching at 2.80 by Rev. J . Thompson, of Manasquan, and at 7.80 by Bro. Franklin, of Ocean'Grove.

Social servico at 0 A. M. on Tuesday led by Rev. G. R. Snyder, of Ocean Grove, fol­lowed at 2.80 i». m. with preaching by tho same good brother. Preaching at 7.30 by Rev. II. Zolly, of South Amboy.

Wednesday tho last and crowning day of service was opened by a 5 o’clock John Wesley meeting, at which there were nearly forty gathered, being a glorious oc­casion for ull privileged to attend. Then at 9 a . m. came tho love feast, which was a genuine feast to all. Bros.. Franklin, Zelly and Hughes were the preachers of the da£, and it closed with causes of much gratitude .to God that more than a score were seeking a clean heart, and that sev­eral had already entered In, and the church wu3 .thoroughly awakened. Our faith is strong to believe God is going to richly pour out His spirit in our midst until we seo many couverted from tho error of thoir ways. Pray for us over, here in Ocean Park, for there is a great battlo to bo fought. Bro. Beegle, though unable to preach, assisted us greatly by his presence- nud prayers. M. W . D avis, Pastor.

AVA8riiNGTON?.D.C.y Jan. 7,1891.-“ Nations find their rulers ” is the sub-

ject for to-day in the .'annual week of prayer, which begun with last Sunday, in every civilized nation, and which was originated in faraway India more than thirty years ago, by an invitation from the Christians of Sodiana Mission to all other Christians to join thorn in a week of prayer that “ God would pour out His spirit on all flesh, so that all the ends of the earth might see bis salvation.”, v When one reads the telegraphic news

v from the Indian reservations in the north, west it cannot fall to impress upon his mind the need which this nation and Its rulers have for the prayers o f all Chris­tians ; therefore i t is a consolation to

; know that in every country in the civ- ilized vv'orld, .and in' many that are„only beginning to feel the first quickening effects of those twin sisters of-light, Chris- tlanity and civilization, go o l men and

; women are to day offering orisons to the great Ruler in behaU of our nation.and its rulers; and the knowledge inspires the

• hope that the authorities of the United States may be governed by true Christian cliarlty and a forgiving, spirit,' and not by the sa.vage'and.pagen idea of revenge in

. their future dealings with the Ipdian.The thought should never for a mo.

ment be lost sight of that .the United States Is in sentiment, if not in law, a Christian nation, and that our every act, ba it for good or bad—there have, already been too many bad ones—in dealing with a race far below the Anglo-Saxon in the scale of civilization, is telegraphed to the furthermost parts of the world, and ahal- ized with critical care by people who have been educated to look, to America for that.exact justice between man and man, which Jesus taught lils followers. Let us not disappoint the people who regard us as forming the front rank of the world’s grand •array, of Christianity and enlightenment; rather let us justify that regard by our acts.

There Is a disposition to justify un­christian acts upon the part of our offi­cials in their dealings with the Indians by citing the acts of, other nations in dealing with inferior or weaker races. Such a justification is worse than none at all ; • be: cause it carries an implied approval of acts of which the .nations .that permitted them have become heartily ashamed, and of which no American has ever approved. I f we are worthy, as a nation, to continue in the vanguard of the army of Christian, ity and Civilization, let us demonstrate it to the world by our treatment of the Indians; it is a grand opportunity j we

. cannot remain stationary, blit must go backward or forward. Let every Chris­tian pray that it may be forward.

Bev. Dr, Green Clay Smith, of Ken­tucky, who has'accepted the pastorship of a Washington church, is a decided acqui­sition to both the religious and temper­ance people of the National Capital.

There is great grief among temperance . people on account of the death’of Mrs*

C. N. Whitney, who came here a few years ago. from Portsmouth, Va.j and at once became prominent as a worker in the

A nother precept in success­ful purchasing is that the best

I is cheapest in the encl. There • is a vast difference between I cheap: goods an d . goods clieap ; 'go elsewhere for cheap goods, but come to us for goods cheap. The dealer who sells cheap goods sells his customer also. W e are not in that line of business.

W hatever is desirable for m en’s and boys’ wear we have; we will not tell you that our lowest priced garments are all wool, if the fabric contains cot­ton, or th a t it is fadeless when possibly severe exposure may dim its color. W e make up some such goods because many persons cannot pay for better, and such as we do use are cap­able of rendering excellent ser­vice.. •

We, however; advise the se­lection of better, even the very best if you can afford it ; but th a t doesn’t necessarily involve a large expenditure, since our $20 and $25 W inter Suits and Overcoats a re . practically as good for service as any we pro- d uce. H igher cost means sim­ply luxury no t utility.
