The miles to he traveled are so numerous,
the seas to be crossed are so treacherous,
the peradvcntures are so many, that the
solemnities outnumber the expectations.
My family accompany me to the railway

hurricanes, the bridges, the cars, the epi-

front steps of my home. Will lever again

William M. Evnrts a few evenings before at
the public reception—on the conclusion of
my twenty-fifth year of Brooklyn pastor-

consolatory. He said, “Dr. ’f‘aimago ought

transactions for eternity have there taken
place, will admit that it was well to build
«it, even if we had known at the start that
.lrwould only last from l8ill to 1894.
Another rgason why I think this last
church went ‘doyyn was to keep me humb'fe.
The Lord ‘had widened my work through
Christendom, and with two receptions the
week before the conflagratlon, the onea
city reception presided over by our mayor,
and the other a national and international
reception presided eve? by one of the chief
men of the nation, who had recently step-
ped from the presidential cabinet, and the
occasion honored by addresses and letters
and cablegrams from men of worldwide
fame in church and state, and the whole
scene brilliant beyond description, and in
compliment to myself, who was brought
up a farmer's boy, there was danger that I
might become pufl'li up and my soul be
weakened for future work. I did not yet
feel any stirrings of that sort, and had
only felt a humble gratitude for what had
been said and done by friends transatlan-
tic and cisatlantlc, but I had ordered full
reports of the meeting laid aside for future
perusal, and I had engaged the fieetest
stenogropherl know of to take down every
word, from the opening doxology of the
first reception to the benediction of the
last reception, and some time, when less
busy, I would take in all the eloquence
and kindness and splendor of that memora-
blo week. What might have been the re-
sult upon myself I know not. I have seen
praise. A cold chill of the world’s neglect
. is no more destructive than the sunstrokc
from too much heat of popular approval.
The disaster may have “been needed, and
It came so close upon the adulation that
it fitted as an everlasting prevention. In
the light of that awful blaze of that Sab-
bath in May, 11111-1, no self sufficiency could
stand a second.
Another reason for the fires, I think, is
that somehow, and in a way that I know
not, my opportunities are to widen. After
each of the other fires new doors were
open. I prayi-rfuliy expect that such will
be the sequence of the last conflagration.
Will the Ifrmklyn Tabernacle be rebuilt?
I know not. What or when or where shall
be my Work I cannot own guess, nor
have I the least anxiety. Nothing but an
inspired utterance of the. iliblo could bear
such repetition as I have for the last 12
days given to the words of the psalmist,

I havcsafolyurrivml on tho Pacific coast.
A startling (nitration was asked me just be
fore I reached here. I was in dccpslumber
in ascctlon of a sleeping car when tho
curtain was pushed back, and a venerable
lady seized hold of mo and shrieki-d, "Who
are you, and whataro you doing hero?” It
was a sudden calling of the roll of passen-
gers. and I did not feel like answering to
my name. The question was repeated in
morn earnestness, with louder voice. I
could not at first understand why the in-
tcrrogation as to my identity, but after
gathering my senses together I mildly
suggested that perhaps sho had mistaken
my plum: for her own. This was no doubt
the case, and slow mode a quick retreat.
Tho fact is that tho auctions and berths of
a sleeping car are very much alike. The
new mode of hanging the numlmr of the
berth in large figuruson the outside of the
drapery of the sleeping plan- is a gn-at im—

the venerable lady made is a mistake that

an entirely different sort of a fellow. He
