Chaplain McCab e, the well known general secretary of the Methodist Home Missionary Society, occupied the pulpit of the Frst-Methodist church in South Norwalk yesterday, taking for his text in the morning : “And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, ‘Let us go 11p at once and possess it; for we are well able to over- come it,’ ”—Numbers 13—30, from which he preached an exceedingly powerful and eloquent sermon. Referring to his text he said that we, the Christians, were well able, if we would, to over- come the world for Christ. During his remarks he said that the daily press was one of the greatest drawbacks encountered by him in his work, as their columns were filled with sensational accounts of all sorts of crime, devoting very'little, if any space to the great cause in which he is en- gaged, ic. that of rescuing the perish- ing. His remarks were interspersed with interesting facts and figures con- cerning the amazingly rapid progress of Christianity. He said that in the year 1800, only one out of fourteen of the population of the United States were members of protestant churches; while now the proportion was one in five, showing a glorious advance in the cause of civilization, materially assisted by the religion of Jesus Christ. He also said that the Christian people of America are building churches at the rate Of 17 per day; of whichnumber the Methodist church, alone, four, and supports 3,500 missionaries who are doing gOod work, especially among the lower classes of our foreign born population. At the close Of the reverend gentle- man’s sermon, and while the collection was being taken, he sang several songs, accompanying himself on the piano, with a volume and sweetness that re- minded one of the singing of Ira D. Sankey, the renowned evangelist. The appeal to the better natures of Chap- lain McCabe’s hearers, opened their pocketbooks, the amount subscribed being $523, of which $200 was raised by the Sunday school. Notwithstanding the inclement weather, the church was filled at the evening services. Those who failed to hem the Chaplain yester— day, missed a great tr eat erects _ FRENCH SPOLIATION CLAIMS. Their Payment Will Probably be Be— gun in a Few Days. WASHINGTON, March 23.—The Secre- tary of the Treasury is 110w waiting 11p- on the action of the Attorney—General before payment is begun on the French spoliation claims which were tacked on the Deficiency bill by the Senate dur- ing the last hours of the session. Ordi—v narily claims of this character are not referred to the Attorney-General, but Congress enacted a provision which at- taches to every one of these claims, by which the legal representatives must file an indemnifying bond to insure the proper distribution of the money appropriated. Another provision which affects the parties in interest more di— rectly is that which ignores the assign- ees in bankruptcy and recognizes the next of kin. The fulfilment of these provisions, it is expected, will not take much time, and it is expected the claims will be paid by April 1. An indemnifying bond is generally exacted pro forma, and the Court of Claims, in trying the cases, re- quired the claimants to prove kinship to the ancestor who suffered the loss. The bill appropriated $1,304,005, and embraces those cases filed to recover losses incurred on the destruction of only eighty-one vessels. This is a com- paratively small number of the cases now on the dockets of the Court of Claims. The prosecution of the re— maining number, which has languished for three years, will be immediately be- gun now that Congress has recognized the validity of those already acted up— on, which were said tO be the strong- est ones pending before the courts. , PALM SUNDAY. Christ’s Triumphal Entry into Jeru— salem Graphically Described. Despite the serious disadvanta'tge of unfavorable weather, yesterday’s at- tendance at the various churches was gr atifyingly large. At the Methodist Church the pulpit platform was tastefully adorned with potted palms, ranged upon either side, and to the rear of. a pretty collection of callas. Rev. Dr. VanAlstyne delivered an instructive and eloquent discourse ap- propriate to the day, prefacing it with the reading of the passage of scripture descriptive of Christ’s entry into Jeru- salem. Dwelling upon the lessons of the day, and of the week immediately preceding Easter, the reverend gentle- man voiced the sentiments of every Christian believer in the assertion that long as man should accept the doctrine of the immortality of the soul and of the divinity of Christ, so long Would he devoutly re-consecrate himself during Passion week. Ever remembering the example of our Saviour who, even in the hour of His exaltation, taught the lesson of humility by selecting the humblest of animals upon which to make His entry into the city which was so soon to ring with thesad tidings of His crucifixion. Looking into the pages of history there can be no doubt that then, as now, the masses very largely accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour, and the conviction is forced upon 11s, when and principalities, dur mg the inteiv en- ing centuries, that the Christian relig- ion, intrenched as it is in the hearts of the people, will successfully withstand for all time, the assaults of the agnostic and the infidel and continue growing and strengthening until “the heavens shall roll away like a scroll.” The musical selections were in- har- mony with the occasion and were ren- dered with rare expression by the tal- ented choir - which most effectively supplements Rev. Dr. VanAlstync’s efforts for the salvation of souls. __ _ _ 4,», lngersoll on Shakespeare. The address Of Colonel Robert G.
