A SUBURBAN CHURCH.
Rev. George Reynolds, AZ n Preacher, 4
Worker aud a Scholar.

Rev. George Reynolds, Of Emmanuel
Presbyterian Church, preached an edi-
flying sermon, last evening, on the
character Of-Manasseh. The church IS
situated in Paris township, about two
blocks south of Hall-st. It's organiza-
ton is comparatively new, and its
membership ~ comparatively small, as
yet. The present pastor Is the first pas
tor the church has had. He came to
the church about a year ago, Just after
graduation from Princeton, and since
his installment the church membership
has increased from about twenty-five
o. about seventy. Pastor Reynolds Is
young man of 25, and bis sermons IN
dicate both the man ct culture and the
man OF spiritual insight. His pulpit
style il forceful and yet unostentatious.
His teaching . positive and aggressive.
while not offensive. The congregations
average from f25 % 200, and the church
Is arranged TO seat as many as 500 on .
pinch.
Rev. Mr.. Reynolds sermon last even
ing was based on the thirty-third chap
ter Of the second book Of Chronicles.
which nsrrates the history of the reign
OK MAUA-StNf one OF hAf kings OF su-
dab. tie began by saying that the
yphical sinner Of Jewish history was
Ahab. Of The Kingdom of Israel, while
she typical SAINT was Msnasseh, Of the
Kingdom Of Judah. Yet Manasseh, as
he Is revealed in this chapter, 4 proved
20 be a man who did evil IN the sight
Of the Lord. The reason Of the good
reputation which the wicked man has
horne IN history is that he saw his sn
before he died and rspented Of lt, and
he sought the Lord his God, and hum
bied himself greatly before the Lord
God Of his fathers" The sermon vas
designed - illustrate the power Of pen
iteuce for sin. aud vas listened 70 with
marked attention BY a deeply inter
ssted audience. The work that j. do
ing iu the extreme south end of the
city through the agency Of Rev. Mr.
Reynolds church is very great. The
pastor is highly regarded for bis qual-
ites Of hand and heart Though a
young man. Mr.. Reynolds gives every
promise Of large success both "a
pulpit orator and as a church worker.

NO LONGER IN 1T.
Cornelius III. DeRuyter and Phin X
Miller Leave the Owashtanong.

Cornelius II. DeRuyter and Phin X.
Miller Leave the Owashtanong.
A morning contemporary, under the
caption of Crooked Clerks" said yes
terday morning that special meeting
of the Owashtanong Club had been
called for the afternoon, for the pur-
pose of investigating certain charges
circulated against two OF Its members,
Messrs. Cornelius III. DeRuyter and
Phin X. Miller. 1t further seems to
imply that this meeting was called for
the purpose of demanding the resigna-
tions from that club of the two gentle
men named.
The TELEGRAM-HERALD called at the
Owashtanong club rooms last evening
to ascertain the correctness of this re-
port, and the facts, as stated by the
club, are as follows:
No special meeting for the investiga-
ton of the DeRuyter-Miller case was
called. The gentlemen in question
rendered their designations to the sec
retary of the organization, with the
emphatic request that their names be
stricken from the clubs list, and the
club Immediately accepted such resig-
nations IN the mildest manner possible.
Therefore they are no longer members,
and that by their own doing. From
prominent members of the Schubert
Club it was learned that Mr.. Miller's
resignation as a member OF that body
was not accepted.

The interview Of Jay Gould, reported
in the New York Sun few days ago,
besides developing several points of diff
ference between him ard the party OF
which he has always been member, on
Gnan cial questions and the Mckinley
bill, contained the following question
and answer:
Have you ever found any country
which yields as equally and regularly as
ours7 Is there any piece Of ground TO
match the United StatesY
Mr.. Gould shook his head and said
We rot only have the gem Of countries.
but we have a people who are splendid
consumers; who buy as we'll as build, and
who keep the whole nation well fer
mented by their industry, taste and in
tellipence. / am believer in the Anglo
Saxon race III we have a great country,
IL is because we have an energetic race.
Those assertions are not In harmony
with Republican doctrine. The Mckinley
bill and the Force bill both traverse those
declarations. The one declares, in effect,
that the people are incapable Of s@f-gov-
ernment, while the other declares that
we are unable to maintain commercial
and industrial competition with not only
England, France and Germany, but with
Italy, Spain aud Egypt.
In confutation OF. THAT Jay Gould asserts,
what is true, that we have the gem Of
all countries and people superior in
industry, taste and intelligence to any
people on the globe The idea Of pro
tecting' such a country and such a
people from competition with other
countries and other people is preposter
GUS and absurd It does not spring from
any demands for "2rotection" in itself,
but springs from desire Of special In
dustrles and special corporations to con-
troll the entire trade of this country and
to raise the prices Of the articles they
produce
The men engaged in such Industries,
Of course, do not allege those reasons,
but that is the real object and that is
the end OBJ aimed by the system of pro
tectio Ism" now in practice. Protective
laws are Inconsistent with the facts, that
this Is the gem Of all countries on the
face Of the earth, that we have the best
government and the best people, and
that in the struggle for life. this coun-
try affords its citizens better opportun
ity than any other country in ohristen-
dom.
The contention of the greedy and
selfish protectionists that those advan-
tages are results OF tho system of laws
which gives them the control of tn,
markets here at higher prices than theil
products would otherwise command, Il
absurd and preposterous. The advan
tages are natural In respect to thil
gem Of country, and inherent Ii
respect to our people. The ide
that these advantages could be the resul
OF system Of laws, which have bee
effective only within the last twenty
years for any other than the Legitimate
purpose Of raising a revenue to meet Thu
expenses Of the government, is false ant
absurd.
No man who Is simply talking hors
sense" would maintain any contrary pro
position unless he is seeking political pre-
ferment from the protected" classes 0
seeking more protection" for good
which he sells and for which he wishe
consumers TO pay higher prices
