Fire in Prison.

Fire broke out in the oil rooms of the
Cherry Morrow manufacturing company,
situated within the walls of the peniten-
tiary at Nashville. Tenn, at o'clock
Friday evening Oct. IS. The flames spread
rapidly. and the entire plant of the COM
pany was destroyed. No cOnvicts were in
this portion of the prison and the origin of
the fire is unaccOuntable. The old prison,
built in 1922, is unframed. and all the con-
victs had been safely housed there the night
before the fire began. A company of the
State militia and division of the municipal
police successfully controlled the crowd.
Outside the walls three small cottages and
undergrad belonging to the Cherry Nor
row Company were consumed. 1t is est-
mated that the losses will amount to 5000, =
900. The fire was out by o'clock, and
owing to the efficient service of the militia
and police no escapes or casualties occur

THE CLOSING SESSIONS
of the American Inter-SeminarJ Missionary
Alliance Convention.

of the American Inter-SeminarJ Missionary
Alliance Convention.
The closing sessions of the American In
ter-Seminary Missionary Alliance yester-
day were devoted to conservation and devo-
tional meetings and addresses by mission
aries. In the afternoon Rev. DR.. j. NJ. Kei;
and Rev. DIR. G. w. Cham berlain. both re-
turned missionaries from Brazil, delivered
address, illustrated with maps. Rev. DIR. Cham
berlan has been in Brazil since 1865 and is fully
conversant with the politics of the coun-
try and the trend of events leading to
the downfall of the Empire and estab-
lishment of Republic. He SAID that the
Republic movement was not a spasmodic
one by any means, but had been smouldering
for over quarter of a century. He attributed
the whole feeling for Republic as first being
induced by the dominant power of The JesuiJs
behind the throne.
The speaker said that now religious liberty in
fact is proclaimed to all, and missionaries are
needed to disseminate Protestant doctrines.
He SAID the United States. by sending mission
aries, will correct one of the great evils and
the move is polite as well as religious. The
United States is the Eldorado toward which
steps. If these uneducated and unenlightened
people can be educated at home the immi-
grant question will he solved.
The doctor was shocked by the '.worldlness"
of some of the churches in this country and
said that he was grieved to learn that dancing
allowed AS for him. his Bible furnished
tragedy and comedy enough, for there is
comedy and tragedy in the Bible that goes far
beyond the works of mortal man.

Treated of by Rev. DIR. Izer, of Christ's
Church, Yesterday Morning.
The reverend doctor said Jerusalem and
Solomon's temple were the antetypes en-
ployed in tLis suggestive promise. After
describing the beauties and wonders of the
immortal city and the significance of the
building of the temple, he said in SUBJ
stance
Revelation herein points our gaze to another
temple, in another Jerusalem, both city and
sanctuary infinitely more magnificent than
these of David and of Solomon, which we have
studied The temple of the text Is the temple
OF God on high; the Jerusalem OF the text is
The CITY OF God, which is 20 come down out of
heaven from GOD. In this temple builded by
Col in this New Jerusalem, the promise is:
II i'm that oycTCCmeth ! will make pillar ~
Infinite honor. supreme exaltation is bound up
in this promise. To be hidden away even
anywhere, in the walls OF this glorious struc-
.ure, might seem to human reason dignity suf-
nC.ent. But Jesus. the divine architect, seems
not 20 think so: Ee has some better things for

Turn over these leaves to the Apocalypse and
You have light on this figure of the text. John
tells us that amid the wonders which crowded
into his vision was this, that when the four
great angels, at the end OF the world, took their
stations al the four corners of the ear; b. hold
ing the four winds of the earth, and ready to
let them 60 TO the hurting of the earth and of
the sea, 10, another angel. descending from the
east appeared bearing the seal of the living
God. and he cried with loud voice to the four
angels. saying: Hurt not the earth, neither the
sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed
the servants of our God in their foreheads."
Heavens seal will be our insurance from all
hurt and harm. Tie name of our God, and the
name of the city of our God written in our
fnreheads, will be a protection in judgment
and passport TO the skies.
The latter part OF the discourse treated of
the condition upon which the promised reward
may be obtained. He who wins the prize must
overcome in the conflict. God calls us to be
conquerorS nay, and more than conquerors.
The Christian can have no excuse for being de-
ieated and heaven has no reward for defeat.

The Interesting Topic Treated by Rev. DR..
j. G. Townsend, Yesterday.
Rev. DIR. J. G. Townsend, of the Uni.
tartan Church, yesterday morning spoke on
the subject, SIS Man the Victim of Circum-
stances?" During the course of his SER
mon he said. ''Is man the creature of his
environment? What heredity and his sur
roundings make him? Is he as much a
slave of tate as stone or an cak tree, only
moving in a larger circle? Must /. on The
stream of life, go to some predetermined
port, steer | or steer | not? No one doubts
the reality of the moral ought in all men.
Whether II came as fash from the Over Soul
or from the slow accumulation of the instincts
OF the race, the experience of the ages matters
not. The I ought and the L ought not
thunders in every mans soul. Now, there
Is no necessary collision between the
'must' of morals and the can of
ability. There is no impossible gull. Freedom

she lmmutability of nature. When we speak
Of the influence of place, climate. surround
lngs, we sometimes forget the factor of the
mind. We forget that man is an ethical being,
by bis oneness with nature; his complete
physical intimacy and connection with the uni
versal ethical forces He has larger concep-
uon Of lfe-a deeper consciousness than the
animal, Is more moral, and therefore is more
free.
"Theologians have taught that man can be
superior 10 nature by sort of magic They
say that man can will against the stream OF
MS nature or character. This is foolish for
when man wills he goes with his nature
and not against 1t. But this does not imply
that man cannot change. for he is a re eflecting
being, and can see the consequences of his own
acts. He changes the currents of his thoughts
and feelings, and so of his character If man
were the victim OF his surroundings WHY did
he not remain naked savageF He has felled
the forests, dug the mines, sailed the seas
belted the globe with Girdle of intelligent
fire. he has made his mind library and his
soul the depository of heroism. To keen the
consciousness OF freedom is salvation. To
marry the 1 must to the L can, is to live the
life of man. To let the moral ought die IN us
is TO be child, coward, and not a man. To
obey the moral laws-that alone is life"

THE HARVEST HOME.
An Old Custom Observed at the First
N. P. Church Yesterday.
MISSION SERVICES IN BOTH CITIES.
Rev. DR.. Chamberlain Talks Of the New
Brazilian Republic.
MORNING SERMON OF REV. DIR. IZER

An old.time and beautiful religious Gus
tom was observed in the First Methodist
Protestant Church yesterday morning. In
its reiuvenated form it was styled "Har-
vest Home Service" It's purpose was to
commemorate the coming OF fall and har-
vest time, and 10 signify thanks to the God
of Nature for His great blessings in bring
ing TO maturity the food products, and fur
nishng with such an abundant hand the
necessities of life.
The enervating air, telling that harvest
was over and winter nigh, served to greatly
enhance the beauty of the picture brought TO
the eve of the observer on entering the
church from the street. The lamp-stands on
either side of the altar were hid
den by sheaves of wheat and other
cereals, bound in regular farmer
fashion, and having an air of the harvest
field about them. Heaped up before the
altar, in profusion, but in perfect artistic
arrangement, were potatoes JUS as they
came from the ground; yellow ears of corn;
apples with the rosy red hue, caused by fall
winds, upon their cheeks; deep. dark red
egg plants, bright red peppers, bright green
skinned squashes, yellowish squashes,
carrots. punches of red, greea and purple
grapes-and all the varied but common
food products of this section.
THE RUSTIC PICTURE COMPLETE.
Ii the center was a bushel basket tipped
over in a bewitchingly realistic manner.
Its contents were poured out after the fash
ion of a horn-of-plenty. Flowers of the
fields the woods and the farm served to
conplete the rustic picture, and give TO the
whole an air OF the country that was truly
refreshing and fitting reminder that to the
God of Nature praise and thanksgiving is
due.
The service commenced by all present
singing that glorious old doxologv, "Praise
God from Whom all blessings fow." A
1ervent prayer by the pastor, Rev. D. Jones,
was followed bv the hymn, praise to Thee,
Thou Great Creator" The audience, in
cluding the church members and Sunday
school scholars, then alternated with the
pastor in repeating a beautiful service
dwelling on the greatness of the Lord.
APPROPRIATE MUSIC RENDERED..
The choir, under the leadership of F. A.
Rinebart, rendered appropriate music after
each cessation in the responsive reading.
The sermon of Rev. Mr.. Jones was an eX-
celIent one and it is doubtful it anyone in
the audience left without feeling that he
owed thanks TO his Maker for the abundant
harvest and the continued proofs of great
goodness.
In the evening the Rev. Mr.. Jones
preached the second OF a series of sermons on
the A poStles' Greed His subject was 1.-The
Existence of God" His arguments were
strong ones and his logic convincing.

WHY ARE THERE MORE
Everett Pianos Sold in These Cities Than
Any Other Makes?

Everett Pianos Sold in These Cities Than
Any Other Makes?
This question was asked of an Associated
Press reporter, who, always on the lookout
for news, proceeded to investigate, and was
convinced that there have been double the
number of Everetts sold during the past year
to that of any other make represented in
Western Pennsylvania, and led him to be-
lieve that the extraordinary popularity of
this make of pianos was due solely to the
fact: They are among the best upright
pianos now manufactured, and while this
csnnos be successfully disputed, they are
sold at great reduction from the prices
asked by retail dealers. This result is brought
about by the new club or cooperative
system of conducting the piano business,
adopted by Alex. Ross, OF Allegheny City.
The plan is simple business problem. 1t
provides for the purchase of $50 pianos
for each club, thus securing for the mem
bers the great reduction of SIS on each piano
from the retail price. The plan also pro-
vides methods of payments to suit everyone.
Members can pay cash and get their piano
at once, or can arrange to have them deliv-
cred upon payment of SIS cash and $40
monthly, while those who only pay 81 per
week will get their pianos in a short time, as
there is one piano delivered each week to
each club on these latter payments. There
being $50 members, each paying 81 per
week, they get the piano at the lowest cash
price Mr.. Ross is now delivering pianos
10 two clubs, A and B. The membership In
CLUB B is not quite complete and anyone
wanting piano should apply for member
ship at once, thus securing the reduction ID
price, then pay as they choose from 81 per
week up. The pianos can be seen at 137
Federal street, Allegheny, or circulars can
be ha6 by applying to Alex. Ross, the man
ager, at the above address.
