EMERGENCY MEN NEEDED,
Rev. C. e. Locke Calls Attention to the
NecF ssities of the HOur.

hCVs Ss II. LoChe Sdiis attentOn TO the
Necessities of the Hour
A very large audience crowded every part
of the Smithfield Street Methodist Episcopal
Church last evening. The subject of the
sermon by the pastor, Rev. Charles Edward
Locke, was Emergency Men" The text
was announced from Esther iv IA: "Who
knoweth whether thou art come to the
Kingdom for such time as this?" The
speaker said: 1.-The story of Esther has been
SO graph cally told and SO charmingly
sung that the gospel of the Book
of Esther is most familiar to us.
This beautiful romance. and indeed the
whole of the Old Testament, have be-
queathed to the world of thought the thrill.
ling truth that the movements of history
have turued upon men as pivotal points.
Great principles may be discussed, argued,
opposed, defended but they never reach
their elimination until they find their in
carnation in somebody's heart in some
body's integrity"
After showing at length by the records of
the centuries of the factorship of such men
as Paul. Polycarp, Terlullian, Huss, Savon-
asola, Peter Waldo, Luther Calvin and Wes-
ley, the speaker fervently referred to the
Puritans, Patrick Henry and Abraham Lin
coin, and added: "But what are the in
dispensable qualifications of these emerg-
nency men? They must be studious; pure,
as were Daniel and Joseph: humple and con-
scicntious: bold and invincibls; holy and
consecrated." Emergency men are needed

TO BENEFIT THE POOR.

The Pittsburg Association Of Poor Holds Its
Sixteenth Anniversary Reports Are
Read to Show That a Vast amount of
Work Has Been Done.
The sixteenth annual anniversary of the
Pittsburg Association of the Poor was held
in the Fourth Avenue Baptist Church last
night. The meeting was addressed by Rev.
George Hodges, who took his theme from
Matthew xi, 5: cart Thou He who hath
come or do we look look for another"
He said this was the foundation of the
whole Christian religion. Referring to-
those who were doubtful, he held John the
Baptist as the first and the fountain head.
He attributed the most Of Johns doubtful
ness to the fact that he, like the Hebrews,
looked for great king, and ior
into the same unbelief now. In
q long and interesting discussion he refer
red to Christ's good works for humanity,
laboring for the poor and down trodden. In
conclusion he spoke of how the church in
the past had eft the question of raising the
down trodden to the Socialists and Anarch-
the Church again where it belongs: For that
reason they ought to thank God for having
such society as the Association for the I'm
provement of the Poor.
The Rev. NJ. Applegartn followed with a
few remarks on the subject of the society's
work. The following is a brief outline OF
the annual report, as read by Mrs. s. f. LIP
pincott:
Families added to the relief list, lS9: orders
for food, 2,996: whole number receiving aid,
5,293; bushels Of coal distributed, 5,l5o; gro
Gerry orders given, 7,949: orders for shoes.
435: orders for dry goods. e6l yards:
situations obtained, 222; days work, 1,O27:
visits made to poor in their homes, Is, 734
business visits, 25S6: hospital admissions OBJ
tanned, IS: children placed in temporary
homes. 66: in orphanages, 10; in Sunday
schools. 1872: in public schools. l29, and in
feeble minded institutions, 8.
The following is the financial statement
from November l. $780, to November i, 1891:

ance due Treasurer, 5000 9S; balance due

The report of the fresh-air fund showed
that much had been done in that direction.
From June until September Is the house at
Oakmont received 450 persons. Ten outings
of one day each were given by the Sunday
school of Calvary Episcopal Church. Fifty
persons were sent out each time. Captain
Harry Gould gave an excursion up the

tions by several gentlemen who were inter-
ested in the welfare of the working women.

ASSAULT ON BRIGGS.
Rev. J. D. Sands Says His Views
Tend to Demoralize Christianity.
THE INSPIRATION OF THE BIBLE.
A Discourse on the Dignity of Labor and
the Effect of Strikes.
ANNIVERSARY OF THE POOR SOCIETY

Yesterday morning Rev. j. d. Sands oc-
cupied the pulpit in the Seventh q. P.
Church, on Forty fourth street. His sub
iect was "The Present Theological Contro-
versy and Christian Faith,' taking his text
from these words: .'When the Son of Man
cometh shall He find faith on Earth?" In
the course of his discussion he said:
l. is not surprising that a man living in
the age that Luke did should utter such
words but it is different now. The case of
Prot. Briggs, now causing so much contro-
versy in the Presbyterian Church, brings
out my idea. His theory is to judge the
Bible 10y human reason to tell whether the
different passages are inspired. This has a
demoralizng effect on the Chris
tian faith. 1t suggests doubt, as
one man will argue that one
passage OF the Bible is inspired, while an
other man may be OF the opposite opinion.
Toadopt such theory would inevitably lead
to the rejection OF the Word of God. All the
teachings of 1ngersoll and men of his the
oIies have been ineffective in the destruc-
tion of the faith of single Christian. They
can go on in their way for all time but ac-
cording to my way of thinking can do no
harm. The greatest destructive power to
the Church is always found on the inside.
There we ind men whose piety has
never been questioned, who advance ideas
which are destructive to the faith. Prof.
Briggs was such a man.
The Scriptures were given by the inspira-
tion Of God, and it is reasonable to suppose
He would so inspire us that might be
able 10 Interpret them Alright. Some men
hold that the Bible may have been wrongly
transcribed from the Hebrew, as the mis-
placing of a single dot in the Hebrew Ian
guage would change a whole passage. This
! do not believe has been done and evidence
can be shown to corroborate me. We have
hundreds of instances in the past ages where
whole libraries have been swept away, but
in every case God protected the Bible.
Such theories existing in the Church nd
being promulgated by its leaders are an
way to remedy this is to let the leaders work
for the confession of sinners and the up
building of the Church, and there will not be
time for the advancement of such ideas.
Let US have a closer walk with God, and in
stinct, guided by His power, will teach us
the truth of the Bible.

REV. poNEEoo's DOCTRINE.
The Only Question Concerning Sin Is How
to Get Rid of 1t.


Rev. E. r. Donehoo, of the Eighth Presby-
terian Church, West End, took for his morn
ing subject Things Secret and Things Re-
vealed." The text was from Deuteronomy,
xxx. 29: THE secret things belong to the
Lord our God, but the things revealed be-
long unto us and our children forever"
During this discourse ne said: "Indolence
in any undertaking is culpable. In
our daily labor, in intellectual strug-
giles or pleasures and spiritual things
God opens the avenues for us and invites us
to follow. To cut off a reasonable being
from all opportunity of acquiring knowledge
would be an incalculable injury. 1t would
be more merciful to deprive them of air,
sunshine and the pleasures of this life.
When prisoner can find nothing better, he
Will study mouse, a spider or even a blade
of grass, and wien these and such like are
denied him, will sink into melancholy or
hopeless idiocy. There are mysteries in the
III Uure and government of God which
lie has not chosen to explain, and
which all our wisdom fails to fathom
Many a life has been wasted in striving to
pry into secrets which God has not thought
wise to reveal. Much valuable time has
been squandered in trying to discover the
origin of evil and in the endeavor TO ac-
count for its cause, instead of trying to es-
cape from its effects.
"A thousand perplexing questions con-
front US when we study Gods word to which
80 answer is ever couchSafed. Our present
duty is TO attend to what God has revealed
to us. It is not to be denied that
there are doctrines in the Bible which
we are expected to accent, but W hich we are
wholly unable to explain or understand.
But when il comes to the matter of personal
duty the teaching is always clear and ex-
plicit. Whatever is needed for our present
or future welfare to know is plainly re-
vealed, so that a child can comprehend.
As often as men came to Christ with ques-
tions Of mere curiosity Ee pointedly re-
buked them When His disciples asked
Him. when shall the end OF tine world
come? He replied, it is not for them to know.
When Peter questioned Him as to the future
bulxe What is thar to thee?' The practical
question with one and all of us is not how
sin got into the world, but how shall we get
rid OF it: not when death shall come, but a
state of readiness for it,

A SERMON ON AGREEMENT.
Rev. Nevin Woodside Is Positive That
Christians Cannot Agree to Differ.

Rev. Nevin Woodside Is Positive That
Christians Cannot Agree to Differ.
Rev. Nevin woodside, of the First Re
formed Presbyterian Church, discoursed
last evening on the subject "Can Christians
Agree to Differ?" The text was from Amos
ill.,, 8: "Can two walk together except
they be agreed?" The minister said the
prophet Amos was inspired to write the
judgments denounced against the Moab
ties, Edomites, Tyrians and Syrians. The
God of Israel could walk with these idol
atrous, profane and oppressive nations.
This is an old subject, and now it has
become live topic. 1t is open by the cry
for union in all parts of the world to-day. II
we can agree let us unite, but if We cannot
agree let us keep aDart. They are TO be
agreed in doctrine. This lies at the very
foundation of a proper walk together.
People may talk together for Improvement.
The two disciples were agreed in the belief
in the importance of the matter of conyersa-
ton. There was no other subject OF such
importance that of the death and resur-
rection of Christ. 1t was something of the
feeling of a man who believes in a doctrine
and yet mistrusts himself because he is not
in possession of proof to establish it. 1t
made them cautious in their remarks.
They were agreed in their astonishment
at His resurrection. Some philosophical,
cold, selfish people are never surprised at
anything: Tney knew what was coming.
They told you so. There is not much poetry
in the soul of such men. You will meet with
some people who have no melting of heart
or tenderness. These men were responsive.
They were moved by the clear exposition OF
the truth. Can we agree to differ? No: be-
cause God commands us to speak the same
things. to be of one mind and heart. They
are to agree in religious practice, must wor-
ship God and in the same manner. They
must observe the order established in the
church by the Lord Jesus Christ
Can we without sin agree to remain in
church communion and let every man fol-
low his own inclination in the manner and
matter of worship? The word of God gives
no such authority. The Lord showed by his
purging the temple that he was opposed to
confusion in the church. They are to be
united in brotherly love. There are many
reasons why they should be united to one
same vine, sheep of the same fold, children
army, travellers on the same road and heirs
of the same glory. The duty is enforced by
the example of Christ and his fol-
lowers Christ's weakness, patience,
suffering and death all enforce it.
There were some protesting Christians that
had no law to God or the brethren. Judas
never loved Christ. Denaas forsook Paul
having loved this present world: Hymeneus
and Philetus made a shipwreck of faith and
of good conscience; Simon, a baptized
Christian, gave evidence that he was still in
tine gall of bitterness and bond of iniQuity
The advantages of being agreed are that it
secures the presence of Christ the comfort
OF mind which religion affords, and ad-
vances the interest of Zion.

The Diversity oil Dogmas Is the Cause of

Rev. John Whitehead at the New Church.

faith alone, of instantaneous salvation, the
resurrection of the body, predestination.
etc.. do not give light, but rather darkness
on these subjects. They do not make a man
intelligent and wise, but rather becloud and
befog the mind, so that he is told that they
are mysteries, he must believe with a blind
faith, etc. Thus there is no understanding
in these things.
Such teachings OF the creeds of Christian
churches have produced widespread dis
belief in any doctrines. Many within the
churches do not believe their creed, and tie

atheists.
