The regular pastor, Rev. w. t. Clarke, having
gone to Washington to preach on the death Of
Charles Sumner, the pulpit was occupied by Pro.
lessor Cort Tyler, OF Boston His subject was the
rather hackneyed one Of the PrOdigal Son; but,
Notwithstanding its triteness, he lent it quite
charm and interest. None OF his thoughts were
new, but they were well rendered and were all
good. His portrayal OF the erring young mans
suIerinps were almost dramatic. He enforced
that every diversion from the path OF duty was
followed by evil consequences What II he repent
and return, does he have no sufferingp Surely no.
The man who has brought trouble to his parents
may repent, but can he restore them their nights
lost in seeplessness and sOlicitude for him2

Rev. Mar. Inglcy, OF Washington.
The congregation at All Souls church yesterday
morning was not very large. A Washington di-
vine occupied the pulpit in the place of DR.. Bel
lows. HIS subject was, "The Doctrines of Jesus
the Religion OF Humanity;" and his text 'There
is neither Jew nor Greek, neither bond nor creed,
neither male nor female; for all are one in Jesus
Christ" His discourse consisted principally of in
cidents connected with the personal history OF
Jesus He began by saying that the theme was
much larger subject than the text indicated. If
he were q painter he would employ his art to por
tray his thoughts on glowing canvas. The first
picture which he would present would
be marriage festival. They should
see the families of the bride and
groom exchanging their well wishings
and CONGRATULATIONS In their midst is Jesus, His
whole being rejecting the enjoyment OF the scene.
Reside this picture should be companion picture.

The bamy air and the genial sunshine had the
effect of filling the church Of St. Theresa corner OF
Rutgers and Henry streets, yesterday morning to
repeton with crowd of devout Catholics bent
upon paying their devotiOns. The music was I'M
exceptionally fine. Rev. Father Thomas Lynch
sang high mass at nalfpast ten, at the conclusion
of which Rev. Father James j. Flood delivered a
sermon on extreme JUNCTION. The text was taken
from the fifth chapter OF the Epistle of st. James,
the thirteenth TO the sixteenth verse-"ls any man
sick among you let him bring in the priests of the
church, and let them pray over him, amounting him
with oil in the name OF the Lord And the prayer OF
faith shall save the sick man, and the Lord Shall
raise him up and If he be in sins they shall be
given him. Father Flood said that the sacra-
ment OF extreme JUNCTION was most clearly esrab-
lished, Notwithstanding the fact OF its denial as
well the rejection OF the eplstle from which the
text is taken by all Protestant sects.

In the midst OF melancholy and lamenting group
we now see Jesus. His eye Is moist. He was ever
joyous with the Joyous and sorr0wul with the sOr-
rowlul. Another scene was where Christ was at
least given by wealthy and influential man.
Forcing her way through the entrance 10 a woman.
Her last falling tears drop on Jesus travel stained
feet and she wipes them with her long HAIR me
host withdraws himself little, and wonders that
Christ does not know that she Ii a woman OF the
town. Christ does know it, but He also knows that
she Is still a human being and has an immortal
soul. And so He speaks to her gently. Many other
scenes were portrayed, showing that Jesus
throughout His earthly career practised elevated
and perfect schemes or humanity, and that His
doctrines were, In fact the religion of HUMANITY.

Is Rev. W. Nelson McVicor He ia young man,
and has evidently brought to his pastoral duties
careful culture. He possesses Deep pleasant
voice, and style of delivery at once impressive
and forcibe. He preached yesterday morning on
the following text Isaiah l., 5-"Why should We be
stricken any more Ye will revolt more and more.
The whole head is sick and the whole heart FAINT"
We are very apt, he said TO look upon the Old Tes
lament and the history Of Israel as unimpOrtant

science, and said that we are working out both
Gods ana mans plan. After describing the privi-
eges vOuchsafed the ancient Israelites, he showed
the difference IN the condition OF the people Of the
same nationality of to-day. Dis0bedience of Gods
laws, he urged, would always be attended by
disaster TO those thus rebeling Disease despair
and sickness abOunded, but sin produced them
all. Sin impels punishment Divine justice must

not have us die. From the battlements OF heaven

Communication.
VIM. r COOK.

w. r. Dunn, SIR In the last issue
of your paper | saw the article quoted
from the Forest Press, in which an in.
direct charge was made, intended to
cast stigma upon the character of
Gen. Harry White. And as many of
the readers Of the REPUBLICAN NAV
not be familiar with the war record of
Harry White, allow me here to intro
duce small scrap of the history of
the gallant soldier and statesman, from
the pen of j. Trainor King. The his.
torian says, in his Biographical
Sketches of Prominent Men:
In the early part of the year 1868,
General Lee left Fredericksburg OH
his campaign of invasion. Major
Whites regiment, together with many
others were at Berrysvile, Virginia /;
and before the War Department was
aware Of Lees intentions, it ordered
a concentration of the forces at Win
chester, under command of General
Milroy, where they reached in time to
participate in the defence cf that rlace,
against the attack of Ewell's corps:
and although the Federal forces were
but 5000 men, they held that portion
of General Lees army in check for
three days, but were finally driven
back to Harper's Ferry. The enemy
had, however, cut off every avenue of
escape, but through a vigorous and
determined effort of part of the
Federal forces succeeded in cutting
their way through, and many were
taken prisoners in the hazardous at
tempt. Among the latter was Major
White, together with about one hun
dred other officers. They we're taken
to Richmond and connied in Libby
Prison."
Now Mr.. Editor the above quota
tion of history was written when Har-
ry White was lying in a Southern
dungeon, and George A. jerks was
stumping Clarion county ia the inter
est Of the democratic party.
And again allow me to introduce a
little history, possibly forgotten by
many Republicans and Democrats
Harry White, when captured was a
member of the State Senate. The
Senate then stood II Republicans and |
10 Democrats. The captureof White
and his detention in prison made the
Senate tie. The Rebels were soon
posted up to hold White. This caused
a tie vote and hence came what was
we'll known at that time as the dead
Lock" The Democrats refused TO
let the Senate be organized, hence all
legislation was clogged, until White
'muggled his resignation through, the
'ebel lines to Gov. Curtin; it wa
written on the fly leaf of small les.
ament. Major White was elected to
he Senate in the year 1862, and, after
lis regiment went into winter quarters,
le procured leave of absence from
he war department and took his seat
II the Senate. He remained in the
senate Chamber until his regiment re.

Suchmen ought to 60 I'd clafion and
go in partnership with Brown. We
expect to give rs majority for the
whole Republican ticket, in Barnett
township; we remember 1861. If the
Democrats carry two or three more
states in the North, the Democrats in
the South will be ready for another
war. The Southern people have eve
rything in their hands, just as they
bad in '61 only good deal more so.
If they get majority in Congress and
elect President, then, they will say,
1--WE want pay, for our niggers; we
want the war debt paid, and pensions
for our wounded soldiers, and widows,
or repudiate the public debt" But
the people of the North had their eyes
opened by the Southern blood hounds,
and Andersonville and Fort Pillow.
We are going to elect Gen. Harry
White, aud all the Republican ticket
this Fall.
Hurrah for Forest County
| attended Republican meeting in
Richardsville, in Snyder township,

they have only one Democrat in the
village. The meeting was largely at.
tended by ladies and gentlemen, and
was addressed by Gen. Harry White,

and John Dobson. The Baptists had
a protracted meeting in progress and
they adjou rned the meeting at Z

old fashioned mass meeting. L. broke
up at o'clock A. NJ, with three

appeared to lInger around the place
for long time and talked over the

| want to
let the readers of your paper know
how we are getting along up in Old

notwithstanding the Democrats com.
plain of hard times; we have better
times than we had in 1859 and go un.
der Buchanan's administration. We
have money to pay what we owe, and
plenty to live on. The people of Clar-
ington raised this year $50 bushels of
corn 1906 Of buckwheat 1882 Of oats,
besides cabbage, and 1000 bushels of

32! inches in Circumference beat that

Politics are getting high in our end
OF the county. One man said the 9TH

Democrat will endorse his language.
