THE CARE OF SOULS.
DR.. Hays First Sermon 10 the Nucleus
of His New Congregation.
AN EXCELLENT BEGINNING MADE.
Rev. George SchOlI, b. D., of Baltimore, on
Work Among the Heather.
EXTRACTS FROM SOME OTHER SERMONS

The new congregation of Rev. /. n. Hays ,
D. D., assembled in goodly numbers yester-
day-at least 300 being present in the even
ing-in its temporary quarters in Cyclorama
Hall, to hear the initial services of the
pastor to that portion Of his former congre-
CATION who intend to follow his fortunes
The attendance in the evening was particu-
larly remarkable, considering the inclen-
ency of the weather, and DIR. Hays remarked
his qualification on observing this fact.
The subject for the evening, every man
must care for his own SOUL" was ably dis
cussed. Said DR.. Hays: "What must we
do to be saved? is the most important
question ever uttered, and L hope that there
are those In my congregation this evening,
who ieel the Importance of it.
God had provided the means OF salvation
BY sending the Savior to earth, but if God
had not sent His spirit, man would have
been as absolutely lost as if Christ had never
died for him.
Neither church nor minister could con-
vert mankind. 1t wac certainly not what
God does, for all that is gloriously done. 1t
was what the individual does for himself,
and that lay mainly in his faith. What is
faith? is the question asked. 1t is the be.
lief in Gods word. 1t was unbeliet that
made God angry every day and caused Him
In His wrath to condemn the unbeliever.
Men must do their duty, as faithfully as the
palsied man who at the divine command of
God, took up his bed and walked.
DR.. Hays discourse was curtailed con-
siderably on account of the GOODNESS Of the
room, which, it was stated, would be rectifed

A STRIKING CONTRAST.
DR.. Purves Shows There is Something New
Under the Sun.

DR.. Purves Shows There is Something New
Under the Sun.
Rev. George T. Purves, D. D., last even
ing gave "a Significant Contrast" at the
First Presbyterian Church on Wood street.
Solomon supplied the text: "There is No
New Thing Under the Sum-" and the rev.
erend gentleman showed the state of mind
which produced such a conclusion. The
selfish man grew tired of the monotony of
sell, the recurrence of the same pleasures,
the same excuses which palled upon the
taste as it became more depraved. and not
looking outside himself he concluded with
Solomon that there was nothing new under
the sun.
The contrast was in the words of the
apostle: Cali things have become new."
and the Christian realizes that he himself
has been changed and in him all nature
changes. This Is the Christian feeling. To
him the world looks brighter, better and
without expecting the course of the sun to
be changed to north and south for his graft
tication, finds pleasure and profit in ali that
he sees and does and finds some new good to
do every day.

TURNED UPSIDE DOWN,
DIR. Cownn Talks of the Commoiion Caused
by the Apostles.

by the Apostles.
Rev. DR.. E. P. Cowan, last evening,
preached in the Third Presbyterian Church
on the subject. Turning the World Upside
Down" His text was from the Acts of
the Apostles, xvii, 6, where the Jews of
Thessalonica complained Of Paul and Silas
as being disturbers, going about turning the
world upside down. The preacher said that
wherever the apostles went they created a
commotion. They did turn the world up
side down by effecting a moral revolution.
The principle of inertia, he said, made it
harder to start ball rolling than to keep it
going after it was started. For that reason,
he held, more power was required to initiate
the religious revolution of the early church
than to keep the movement under way.
Therefore the apostles were given extraordi-
narIly miraculous power. Beyond that he
held that Paul had no moral qualifications
for success which any man of the present
age could not possess. The secret os Paul's
marvellous achievements as a preacher was
held to be his honesty. He was honest with
himself, honest with his iellowmen and
honest with his God. He was unlike MANY
men of this time, who have two personali-
ties, their reputation differing widely from
their character.
While DR.. Cowan would not say that there
were any dishonest men sitting before him,
he felt that strict honesty was a sorely
needed quality in the modern world. Many
business men did things which they called
honest, but which would not exactly agree
with Paul's idea of strict integrity. DIR.
Cowan said that honesty with God demanded
of His ministers straightforward preaching
of the Word without any additions to or
subtractions from its truths. There are
ministers, he said, who cater to public ap-
plause by softening the corners of hard
truths. They lose in depth wha: they gain
in breadth. Their careers are brilliant but
brief. They have no permanent results.

THE WAGES OF SIN.
Telling Discourse at Smithfeid M. L.
Church by G.. E. Locke.


Telling Discourse at smithfeId M. E.
Church by C. E. Locke.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather last night, the Smithfeld M. E.
Church was filled to hear an address by
Rev. c. E. Locke on "Does it Pay to Sin?"
The text was "Sin is the transgression of the
law" He said it was frequently difficult to
define things with which we are familiar,
and nothing is more familiar than sin. The
derivation of the word is from Sinna, the
consort of the Norwegian god Loki, who
presided over calamities and distress in the
Northern mythology, and sin was
to-day the precursor of calamities His
next point was, SIS it profitable
to be godly?" in which he alluded to those
who cultivate q religious feeling sufficiently
elastic TO cover short yardstick and light
weights and apparently prosper. He an
swered the question by asking another,
''Does it pay to sin?" and conclusively
proved that it does not. Sin is unnatural
and as foreign to the soul as the splinter
under the thumbnail is to the finger and
fully as uncomfortable as it is abnormal to
the soul.
Rev. Mr.. Locke went on to quote that
whatever man soweth that also shall he reap,
and illustrated it by an incident which oc-
Cured some years ago in Tuscarawas county.
o. A post boy was murdered and robbed,
and while rifling the mail pouches the
robber was accosted by a traveller to
whom he said that he had
found the messenger in that
condition and begged the traveller to remain
with the sufferer while he went for
physician. OF course the traveller was
caught tried and sentenced, but persisted
in his innocence, saying he could identify
the real robber by q scar on his wrist, and
the Judge ordered review of the people of
the county, among whom the traveller
identified the criminal, and his arm being
stripped revealed the tell-tale scar.
Ihe preacher concluded lmpressively
with a dissertation on "The Wages of Sin is
Death.''

Its Advantages md Disadvantages Pointed
Out by Rev. J. II. Barnett.
Rev. j. H. Barnett, pastor of the Second
Congregational Church, Allegheny, preached
last night on the 1.-The Advantages and Dis
advantages of Being Christian" 1t was
the third sermon of a series on the subject of
1.-THE Christian" Mr.. Barnett is preach
ing. He selected two texts relating to the
subject, one from worldly and the other
from divine point of view.
Mr.. Barnett pointed out the disad-
vantages encountered by one who tried to
live Christian life. "A man who wants to
become popular in society, rich, rise to the
top of the ladder in politics, attain the dis
tinction of Doodle alderman and similar
achievements, will find it pretty hard to be
a Christian. But these are worldly disad-
santages, and may be overcome by the true
Christian. The advantages of being
Christian are innumerable and inestimable
The worldly disadvantages are made small
and of but little movement while the bless
ings following Christian life are eternal.
Mr.. Barnett's congregation will hold a
special meeting this evening for the pur-
pose of arranging for lecture for the bene-
fit of the church.

MISSIONARY WORK IN INDIA,
Rev. George Scholl, DID,, Talks About the
Lubors Among the Heather.

Labors Among the Heather.
Rev. George Scholl. DID,, Secretary of
the Foreign Mission Board of the Luther
Church, of Baltimore, preached in Trinity
Church, Allegheny, last evening. His SUBJ
ject was missions. He dwelt particularly
on the work done among the heather in
India by the Lutheran Church during the
last IL years.
There was not a Christian worker in the
field in 1S49. To-day the gospel is preached
in 335 towns and villages. There are 165
preachers actively engaged in the work, and
the number of those converted is between
II, 900 and $4,000. Forty years ago the
field was dense dark mass of ignorance.
Now there are 81 schools, 209 teachers and
over 1000 scholars. Not only the rudiments
of secular education are taught.
but religious instructions are also
given. There are lib Sunday
schools, with q combined membership
of over 5000 pupils. There is one college
four years old with Is professors and 352
students. This is a larger institution than
many in this country that have been estab-
lished for half a century or more.
DR.. Scholl spoke for over an hour, giving
an interesting and instructive account Of
the work done by his particular church.
Other denominations are also working in
India and are doing good work.

The largest OF the numerous wells which
supply Erie with natural gas only had 200
pounds rock pressure. The supply is all in
the hands ct one corporation, the Pennsrl-
wanna company. The fuel is not so general
~ In use for domestic purposes as 1t is in
Plttsburg, probably owing to a limited sup
ply and high rates, but there are no daily
complaints of shortage nor haunting fears
OF failure such as exist in what was once
the Smoky City.
Having used the gas for 80 years, the peo-
pie have come to consider it as lasting as
their water supply, sense of security that
would make Pittsburgers happier could
they entertain it. c. 7. DAWSON.

THROUGH THE EYE OF FAITH.

of the World.

DR.. Sutherland Calls Faith the Great Power
of the World.
Rev. DR.. j. R. Sutherland preached in
the Second Presbyterian Church last night.
on 'What one may see through the eve of
faith" His text was from St. John, l., so,
"Greater things than these shalt thou see. -
The words were spoken by Jesus to Natha-
nael, who. on very slight ground for
faith, had pronounced the Nazarene the
Son of God. DR.. Sutherland said: cit is
often said that seeing is believing. Jesus
reversed that order, saying that believing
was seeing. Nathanael's faith, on a slight
basis, was rewarded by a promise to see
much greater things. Clinging to that faith,
he lived TO see Jesus triumph over the grave
and ascend into heaven, and he witnessed
the victories of the early church.
People to-day are apt to demand more
evidence for belief than is Necessary at the
outset. Faith is the great power in the
