JACOBS PROPHETIC WORDS.
Rev. Benjamin L. Agnew, of Pittsburg, at the
Second Presbyterian Church.

Rev. Benjamin L. Agnew, of Pittsburg, at the
Second Presbyterian Church.
Rev. DIR. Benjamin L. Agnew, of Plttsburg.
Pa, preached at the Second Presbyterian
Church yesterday morning and evening" His
text at the morning service was Genesis xix, 10:
"The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor
a law-giver from between his feet until Shiloh
Gomez and unto him shall the gathering of the
people be-" The sermon was devoted TO the ex-
PLANTATION of these prophetic words of the dying
Jacob, which task was begun with the confess
sion that it was difficult task to do, as there
had been many a hard fight by commentators,
Christian and Hebrew, over the correct inter-
probation of the text. He then, at considerable
length, explained the terms of the text and
showed the faliacious reasoning of some COM
meDtatOrs, chiefly Jewish, who held that Shiloh
meant place and not person. and that when
the Interpretation of Shiloh is made person the
clouds clear away and the prophecy becomes
plain 1t is prophecy from the oldest book of
tho word and the Oldest book in the world. 1t
includes prophecy concerning the coming of
the worlds redeemer, and, as that Redeemer
came, its fulfllment testifles to the anthem
ITCHY of this the word of GOD. He
showed that the scepter mad not been held by
the tribe of Judah until it came to the hand of
King David, who was of that tribe, and that 1t
remained with that tribe even through the captlv-
ity aud through all the political changes OF the He
brews, until two years after the birth of Christ.
Herod the Great, if not actually of the tribe OF
Judah, was an adoption of that tribe. The Jews
translate the word scepJer as rod, typifying the
ROD of atfiotion, and say that the rod of ahlc-
ton has not departed from JUDAH therefore the
Savior has not yet come. And yet there are
their memorable words after Chrisu's BIRTH when
it became Jewish province, s'We have no king
but Caesar" The Interpretation of Shiloh ia He
brew is zone who is sent" "the Messiah" "the
restgiver," 1.-THE peacemaker"-all these terms
apply to the Savior, making a clear, definite and
that when Jacob blessed his son he did it for a
purpose. The conclusion is, that the Bible is the

one, the reports showing the health and growth
of the churches, and the synod determining upon
additional mission work. An unusually live
synodic al Sunday-school convention was held on
Friday. This meeting of the synod was especial

To Be Called.

Rev DR.. Goblin at the Tabernacle-A Minister
To Be Called.
Rev. H. A. Goblin, D. D., of Asbury University,
occupied the pulpit of the Tabernacle Presbyte-
rian Church yesterday morning and evening.
DR.. Goblin is an Indiana production throughout,
and having filled two of the most important
charges in the Northwest Conference of the
Metnodis5 Church, his ripe scholarship led TO his
selection by the trustees of Asbury, of which he
is an aumnus to fill the Greek chair. He spoke
yesterday from the words, compel them to
come in" This exhortation or command. he
showed to mean that the minister and all of
Christ's disciples should urge upon their I'M
converted friends the necessity of accepting
the salvation prepared for and offered them in
Jesus Christ, and it is intended to signify that
Christianity is an aggressive, progressive force,
not in this world by permission of the world, but
backed by the authority and power of almighty
God. The compulsion is to be brought about by
the energy and earnestness with which profess
ing Christians impress upon their fellows the
truth as it is in Jesus Christ.
Tonight a congregational meeting will be held
to hear the reports of the visiting and supply
committees, and take such steps are deemed
best in the matter of calling pastor. 1t is be-
lieved an invitation will be extended to the Rev.
Mr. Hanna, United Presbyterian preacher, of
Monmouth, ILL.,, of whom most excellent reports
are made.

PASTORS FIRST EFFORT.
The Initial Sermon of Rev. NJ L. Wells, at
the Seventh Street Church.

The Initial Sermon of Rev. NJ L. Wells, at
the Seventh Street Church.
Rev. NJ. L. Wells the recently appointed pas
tor OF Seventh-street NJ. E. Church, arrived In
the city on Friday last, and has taken house at
Seventh and Broadway streets, where he will be
pleased to see his friends after Friday of this
week.
Mr.. Wells's morning sermon, yesterday, was
preached from the text in Romans i, 16, IL,
"For 1 am not ashamed Of the gospel of Christ"
etc. Referring TO the similarity of Paul's visit
to Rome, to preach the gospel, and his coming
for the first time among the people of Seventh
street Church, he said neither was he ashamed
of thu gospel. but was proud of the privilege to
introduce himself as one sent by the law of the
church to proclaim the glad tidings of salvation.
He said it is natural for pastor, well as peo-
pie, to be at first curious as to the peculiarities
and appearance of each other, but this should
soon give way to a desire to know what was to
be done and how the work Of the cO-lab0rers in
the Masters vineyard could be best prosecuted
MI. Wells is an earnest, engaging speaRer--his
utterauces are in plainly understood, eloquent
language. He has made a favorable impression
upon his hearers. The people of Seventh-street
Church are TO be congratulated upon his Access
sion. The volunteer choir is au acquisition long
needed, and it is hoped will be permanency.

Extra Dangerous.

Where the l., B. & W. tracks CROSS the Ma
tional road, west of the city, will one day surely
fulfill the predictions made by residents of West
Indianapolis and furnish an accident that will
take rank with the recent street-car accident in
Philadelphia. The National road has an i'm
mense amount of wagon travel upon, and the
street-cars that run to and from the Hospital
of the Insane, carry many passengers, the cars
frequently being well filled, though not
crowded as the Illinois street and College
avenue lines. From the location of the
l., B. & W. yards there is large amount of
switching On. Saturday evening at a few min
utes past 6, a Journal reporter came over that
crossing in o street-car, There were two or
three lanterns dimly burning, engines were run
ming to and 70 across the National road. and as
the car driver ran the gauntlet he seemed to
fully realize the hazard. The safety gates at
that crossing are seldom (some say never used,
and no flagnan could be seen on dark an
evening as that of Saturday. 1t is a dangerous
crossing, and not only should be brightly
lighted, but the safety gates should be used con-
stantly, and by sober and vigilant man.

MOUNTAIN PATTERNS.
Rev. j. A. Clutz, of Baltimore, at the First
English Lutheran Church.

Rev, j. A. Clutz, of Baltimore, at the First
English Lutheran Church.
The services at the First English Lutheran
Church, yesterday morning, were conducted by
Rev. j. A. Clutz, of Baltimore, the general Sec
rotary of the Board of Home Missions, who
preached very interesting sermon upon the
subject OF Mountain Patterns" the text of the
discourse being ''See that thou make all things
according to the pattern showed to thee in the
mount, "-Hebrews viii, 3. Mr.. Cutz is pleasing
talker and his delivery is more in the
manner of an easy, entertaining talk than
of oratorical preaching. In referring to the
text which introduced the theme Of his dis
course, Mr.. Clutz said: $50 it was, says the
apostle that God admonshed Moses, when he
was about to make the tabernacle. During the
forty days and forty nights that Moses was
closeted with God, on Mount Sinai, God gave
him the most minute directions concerning
every part of the tabernacle-its form, It's
dimensions, the material Of which 1t was to be
made, and all the furniture which was to be
placed within il, and Moses, we are told, com
Piled with the solemn injunction, SO tha5 when
the tabernacle was completed 1t was an exact
copy of the pattern which he had received
from God himself. But, you may ask, what has
this to do with usS We have no tabernacle to
build, neither has God ever taken us up into a
mountain to give us such specific directions con-
corning any other work to which He may nave
called u.s. This is, of course, true. literally
speaking. God does not meet men now IN the
same way He did in those olden times. Yet, it
has seemed to me, in thinking about this incl
dent in the life of Moses, that we are not wholly
without similar experiences in these days. IL
We are not taken up into literal mountains to
hear God speaking 10 US in an audible voice, Is
II not still true that we all have what may be
called our mountain experiences, our hours OF
VISION as it were, in which we see, as by divine
revelation, what we ought to he, OF what we
ought to do, as we never saw 1t before.
In speaking of The obligation to carry oa
! these visions and the work according to the pat
