CHRISTIANITY AND CIVILIZATION,
The Annual Sermon the Students of the
Western University.

The Annual Sermon the Students of the
Western University.
Rev. S. F. Scovel, d. D., President of
Wooster University, delivered the an.
nual sermon before the students of the
Western Theological Seminary last evening
in the First Presbyterian Church, Wood
street. There was a large gathering OF pres
gentleman's discourse, which was on mis-
sIonaries and their influence upon civiliza-
ton.
DR.. Scovel began by quoting the command
of God to preach all things and save souls.
He said the work of saving souls could not
be accomplished unless there was a civiliz-
ing accompaniment, and civilization could
not be attained without Christianity. A
missionary could no more save souls without
civilization and Christianity than locomo.
tive could go without steam. "You don't
KNOW" he said, show an African missionary
feels when he witnesses a native put on his
first shirt. Teach the savage cleanliness,
learn him the art of good cooking, and you
will have general uplifting and better
ment as a natural result.
"Our modern civilization is the offspring of
Christianity. Go into a new country and
let Christianity enter first. 1t will raise
and elevate the natives. Let civiliza-
tion enter first without Christianity and it
will have debasing effect. Take the case
of the American Indians. When the Gov
erHment tried to civilize them many were
killed and it cost millions of dollars.
When the missionaries tried to civilize
them not one life was lost"

A. Norrhrop & Co.'S New CircuIar-AII
About Paneled Iron Ceilings,
II you are building, send stamp for this
circular.
If you are repairing building, send for
it.
If you have any rooms with old broken
plastered ceilings, or old, decayed and open
Jointed wood ceilings, send for it.
Our patent paneled iron ceilings have
been before the public for the last eight or
ten years, and now there are thousands in
use, scattered all over the Union, in stores,
banking offices and hotels, while its superior
acoustic properties has brought it into ex-
tensive demand for churches, halls and opera
houses. Its low cost and cleanliness intro
duces it into schools and asylums. And
now the increasing demand for something
to take the place of plaster for residence
ceilings, something that would crafty the
artistic taste of our most cultivated house
wives, and still be permanent and endur-
ing, and thus save them the constant annoy
ance and expense of re-plastering and re-
papering; something that could be applied
over the old broken plastered ceilings with
out being compelled to take down and re-
move the dirt and dust-covering stuff, has
prompted us to bring out these beautiful
designs OF embossed metal plates. These
embossed plates are adapted to side walls as
well as ceilings, working up beautifully
into wainscoting, frieze and field. As all
ngures and designs are in relief, really very
little brush decoration is needed. They
are, however. susceptible of any desired de-
gree OF ornamental decoration from simple,
quiet tlnting to the most elaborate and or
nate display OF coloring, gliding and bronz-
ing, giving abundant scope for display of
taste and talent to our most gifted deeora-
tive artists. Address A. NoRTHRoP & Co.,

VARIETIES OF AGNosTICIsM.
Rev. J. G. Townsend's Treatment of Very
Abstruse Topic.

Rev. J. G. Townsend's Treatment of n Very
Abstruse Topic.
Rev. j. G. Townsend preached yesterday
forenoon to the Unitarian Congregation in
County Democracy Hall on "Agnosticism. 3"
He said, In brief: "In the presence of the
real problems Of life-such as: Is there a
real meaning to life? Is the world a product
of intelligence or unintelligence? Is
man free or bound? Is the
soul immortal? Agnosticism utters its
despairing 81 do not know" There is
the agnosticism of the churches, which says
that there is no answer to these questions,
save in the Bible. There is the popular
agnosticism, which holds that the utter
ances of the pulpit are simply beautiful
dreams. There is also scientific agnosti-
cism, which declares that we cannot know
things in themselves, that things have with
in them the quality of unknowableness.
While we admit the difference between SEN
sations and things, we maintain that in the
sensations there is real representation
OF the things; as in mirror
there is real representation Of the object
reflected. So we declare that it is not
necessary that the objects shall pass within
the mind of the thinking subject. for these
objects do really and truly manifest them
selves to MS; and if it be true that one fact
can manifest itself to the mind of the
thinking subject all facts of the universe
may be manifest in the mind. Therefore
there is no foundation for the theory of ag-
Mysticism. Every fact in the universe is
classiiable. and the universe may be known.
The preacher then spoke of the agnosticism
of philosophy, the author of which was
Emanuel Kant In concluding. Rev. Mr..
Townsend said: Undoubtedly, in the new
thought the old idea of God as a giant man
outside the universe will pass away, but the
new thought of God as the great cosmic
Order of the universe, will abide. Men can
no longer accept the idea of a God outside
the universe, but the idea of
a God imminent in the universe, who is in
the cyclone and the nightingale's song, in
the shrek of the wild beast and the carolings
Of Parepa Rosa, in the dust of the streets and
in the star dust of the illimitable sky. Such
q God men will always adore and worship,
and in His presence the soul will fall on its
knees.

THE Ak OF PRAYER
As the Proper Weapon With Which
to Kill Off Certain Giants.
COURAGE AND LOVE TO BE JOINED.
First Anniversary of Rev. DR.. Benham
at the Point Breeze Church.
DEDICATION OF A NEW 3. P. EDIFICE

Rev. W. F. Oldham, pastor of the Butler
Street NJ. E. Church, founded his sermon
yesterday morning on the words: "Be thou
strong and show thyself man." The first
part of the discourse, as usual, was ad-
dressed to the little people. In this sermon
ette the pastor said: "When l was little
boy there was one book that read with the
greatest admiration. That book was one
familiar to all, Jack, the Giant-killer.' 1
used to wonder ii it was true. Now that 1
am grown up know that it was true, and
Jack TODAY hiss a good many giants to kill,
IL he ever becomes a worthy man. What
are these giantso The first syllable Of the
word means earth; therefore giant means
something connected with the earth.
And among those Jack will meet
first in life are had humor, sulkiness,
Eelfshness and laziness. Never be boy
who wants the whole apple, core, skin and
all; or a girl who wants everything herself;
and remember, a lazy boy will never make
q great man. Therefore, when Jack meets
these giants, what oughthe to do? Why, kill
them at once, and the weapon to be used is
the ak of prayer"
The text was discussed to the older peo-
pie under the three heads, "Dutifulness,
sometimes think there is line between Sec
ular and heavenly work; but no, Christian
manliness is shown in the way you meet
your dailv duties, as well as in your devo-
tion to Christian work.
In America there is too much admiration
of a certain cleverness that seeks to shirk
duty, to shift the burden to another's
shoulders; this kind of cleverness is gilt
edged meanness."
Speaking of courage, Mr.. Oldham said:
"We used to think that the cold, cautious
man was the man of affairs, but we find to-
day the most successful men are the en-
thusiastic men. Courage has to be Joined in
Christian character with love. Do not
think love means weakness; love in Christian
character goes hand in hand with strength.
Never is love more beautiful than when
combined with great strength. Ihave found
in the mountains the most delicate and tiny
flowers, blooming on a great granite crag.
Give me the flowers of love, with the
strength of the granite; give me the man
strong and gentle, the woman purposeful
and loving"

A FREE MAN AGAIN.
Larrabee's Story of the Murder for
Which He Served II Years.
THE VICTIM TOLD HIM TO SHOOT.
How Hunt for 'Coons Resulted in the
Death of q Colored Man.
HE'S NOT ANXIOUS To LEAVE THE PEN

There are some singular circumstances
connected with the pardon OF Charles LARA
bee, of Venango county, who will be re-
leased from Riverside Penitentiary this
morning, his pardon vitiating q life SEN
tence for murder in the first degree. The
story of the crime is so odd as to bear re-
telling.
Larrabee was received at the Riverside
Penitentiary April %, 1878, and had served
few days over IA years in that institution,
in addition to the three years passed in Jail
while his attorneys were trying to save his
death. Every visitor to the Penitentiary
knows Larrabee. He has been chief baker
in the kitchen since his incarceration. He
is big, good-natured man, always brim-
ming over with fun, and was called the
"big boy prisoner" until he weighed 265
pounds.
HISTORY OF THE CRIME.
The murder committed by Larrabee
created great sensation in Western Penn
sylvania at the time. and its details have
doubtless been forgotten many years ago. A
party of Venango boys, of whom Larrabee
was one, went out ''coon hunting" and for
fear that no coons would be found, carried q
negro of the town along. A plentiful sup
ply of the Venango brand of fighting, whisky
was part of the ammunition.
No game was found, and the party, filled
to the brim with whisky, started home
wards. The negro finally remarked joking
~ that it was too bad to go home without
having shot "coon," and said somebody
had better shoot him to save the nimrod
regulations of the crowd. Larrabee, who
was very full, wheeled around and dis
charged his shotgun full at the man, killing
him instantly.
BoASTED OF HIS MARKMANSHIP,
Then the crowd went home and the mur-
derer boasted in public of his feat in the
line of coon-shooting. The Venango people
were slow to believe it, and finally organized
a searching party which discovered the dead
body. Larrabee's admissions had been so
openly made that his arrest and conviction
followed each other very quickly. The
circumstances of the affair and the fact of
his drunkenness saved his life and eventually
secured him powerful friends, whose efforts
have, after IA years, been crowned with
success.
Larrabee takes the fact of his pardon
cheerfully and did not seem anxious to re-
linquish his quarters for the freedom of the
outside world. He has educated himself
while in prison, and has several trades at
his fingers ends. He has not decided where
he will take up the thread of his life after II
years exclusion from freedom.

He said to them what is this discourse YOU

said:
Now suppose this question of the Savior
OF the world was put to any group of men of
our day. Would the answer given be as
satisfactory as that given to the Master
after His resurrection? Hardly SO. Mems
conversations are about all other subjects
but that of God, His works, His soul.
etc. All our time is given to discourse
about business, politics and the latest sensa-
tional event. We have no time left for
higher and spiritual things. Suppose the
question was put TO modern fathers and
mothers. What answer would they be able
TO give? The discourse of MANY about
the AFFAIRS OF their neighbor, mere idle gos-
sip, etc. How about the young men and
young women? 1t is to be regretted that
their discourse only too often savors of what
is dangerous to morals. They ignore the
warning or command of the Apostle, who
says: Let not uDcleanliness be as much
as named amongst you. Never saw any,
thing in your conversation with others that
you would regret afterward having uttered,
Never say anything about those absent tnat
would injure their character and which won
would not be prepared to say if they were
present If our conversation be not of
spiritual things it should be at least harm

AN ANNIVERSARY OCCASION.

First Years Passionate of Rev. DIR. Bcnhnm
at the Point Breeze Presbyterian Church.
Yesterday was an interesting occasion at
the Point Breeze Presbyterian Church. 1t
was the first anniversary of the pastorate of
Rev. Dewitt NJ. Benham, which has been
so signally successful that the congregation,
though but so lately organized, has already
grown TO such proportions as to quite fill
the commodious new church. 1t is not
merely a rapid and steady increase of men,
berEhip that has attended the pastorate,
but an enlargement and intensifcation of
interest in the various channels of religious
interest and effort in that farther section of
the city which is now being numerously
settled.
In the morning DR.. Benham's sermon
was on the TRANSPORTATION" In the even
ing he made a notable discourse on the
Supremacy OF the Will" One of the incl
dents of the morning service was the follow
ing hymn, written by the pastor for the an
niversary occasion:
God of the church: to Thee we sing,
To Thee our morning offerings bring,
OF tervent prayer and praise.
Thou art the Shelter of the flock,
Thou art its Shadow and its Rock.
Our hearts to Thee we raise.
God of the household: through Thy grace
May all our loved ones find place
Around Our Fathers board
Thou who hast blest us in the past,
Bring home each wanderer at last,
Through Jesus blood restored.
God Of the SOUL our Chief Desire:
Grant US this day the hidden fire
OF love and faith divine
AS iu Thy presence we adore
Thy richest blessings we implore
And earth-born hopes resign.
God of the church. the home, the soul;
May gospel truth with onward roll
Follow the Lord, our Sun.
So may tidal wave OF grace
Sweep DER the waters silent face,
Till all the world be won
This evening reception is to be given in
the lecture room for the church as a COM
memoration of the anniversary of DIR. Ben
hams installation. The arrangements have
been made by the congregation with much
enthusiasm.
