An Interesting Sermon by West End
Methodist Preacher,

An Interesting Sermon by West End
Methodist Preacher.
Rev. H c. Beacon, d. D., pastor of the
Main Street NJ E. Church, West End,
preached an interesting sermon last night
from Judges, ill.,, 81: "And shamgar slew
600 Philistines with an OK goad" 'No
such victory as this is recorded in the
pages of profane history" said the
pastor at is interesting and instruc,
tive 10 note changes which befell
the children of Israel after the death of
Joshua: before his death they walked hand
in hand with Ged, but after that event they
fell into idolatry and sin. Then God al
lowed them to fall into the hands of their
foes. They brought this trouble upon
themselves. And how many of the evils
which we have to endure to-day are brought
about by our own actions? The age of idol
airy is not over, and we are prone to wor-
ship other gods than the only One.
1--WE are apt to forget that we have a
work to perform, that we are expected to
lend hand in the Lords vineyard. We
should not stand idly by awaiting chance
to perform some mighty deed for the glory
of God, but should avail ourselves of what
ever opportunities We have for doing good,
no matter how small these may seem to us.
God sometimes uses weapons that in our
estimation are very insignificant, even as
Shamgar with his oxgoad routed 600 Philis-
tines There is one great weapon, however
this Book, the Word of God-that has ac-
complished victories that have laid one
third of the human race at the feet of
Christ"

c. F. Mcdonald, representing an Eastern

lishment in Trenton, is at the Duquesne
While showing a DISPATCH reporter yes
terday specimens of his ware, he spoke in.
terestingly of the condition of the pottery
trade in this country. ''The trade in the
higher grade of pottery goods such as
mime" he said, 'is only being established.
That is, of goods of American manufacture.
So far We have sold only to few houses
like Tiffany's, in New York, and this is nv
first trip as far West as Pittsburg l am
not going any further, because we could not
fill the orders we should receive
"These decorations" he said, "are the
work of Japanese, French and English ar
fists, all done by hand, and, as you canfsee,
is first-class work. We employ foreigners
for the work because Americans are not
trained to it. We have, though, several
young ladies who are acquiring the art of
painting on the ware and in course of time,
the work will be done by Ameri-
cans alone, The process of manu-
facture is secret, of course The
clay we obtain from Maryland and South
ern Pennsylvania. There is no reason WHY
factory such as ours cannot be established
in PittSburg if you know how to blend the
clays and bake the pottery.
"The newest thing in pottery is prettily
decorated tea cup and saucer given to a
young lady on her engagement. This Gus
tom originated in Boston. 1t is the correct
thing for the lady, when married, to give
her ilrst tea In these cups. They form quite
a collection.

Young Pittsburg Preacher.
A NEW SYNAGOGUE DEDICATED.

OTHER MATTERS OF RELIGIOUS IMPORT

The Fifth Avenue NJ E. congregation
last evening enjoyed the novelty of ser
mon by theological student, Will W
Youngson, son of the well-known Pittsburt
eonfectioner Mr. Youngson graduated a
Allegheny College, Meadville, in June
and will enter Drew Theological Seminary
at the opening of the scholastic year.
The young minister selected for the tex
of his excellent discourse, IL Corinthians,
iv., Il: ::For our light afliction, which i.
but for a moment, worketh for us a far more
exceeding and eternal weight of glory. y
From this familiar passage he illustrated
the rewards for human affiiction.
"Iife," he said, sis constant struggle,
and from its dawn to close man must strug.
gle for daily bread. Mental development
calls forth energy and application, and
religious duties demand sacrifices" This
he illustrated in the trials, persecution and
martyrdom of Paul, the author of the
Corinthian text. He referred to the many
men who had sacrificed their lives in carry
ing on the work of the church, and to 'the
providence of God in presenting to the
world such men as Luther, Zwlngli, Calvin
and hnoN-men simultaneously raised up in
different parts of Europe TO further the
downfall of the Papacy and establish Pro-
testantism in the world.
He cited many instances of affection and
asked if we, like Paul, could say that the
Affections of earth are light. He said he
believed that Affections were good thing,
because they draw the afflicted nearer to
the crcSs. The eternal glories and the great
reward which awaits the righteous were
a l,o- II
must vanish Wealth, fame and pleasure,
the three great idols of the world, endure
hut for a short time. Why, then, he asked,
should we allow this brief life to deeply
affect US? Were this life all, then, in
deed, might We lay up treasure on earth,
but when we remember that there is an
eternity; that we are gradually approaching
It's borders, and that our conduct here shall
determine our character and destiny there,
life becomes invested with supreme i'm
portance All are afflicted, ali suffer in
various WAYS and all may find that these
trials terminate in eternal blessedness be-
vond the grave"

BLESSING OF A STATUE.

Memorable Occasion,

ScutnSlHe NTerulan OatnOl1cS Celebrate q
Memorable Occasion.
st. Michael's German Catholic Church,
Oh the Southside, was gayly decorated yes
terdav afternoon with flags and bunting,
and there was a general holiday appearance
about Plus street. The occasion was the
blessing of the statue of st. Aloysius pre-
scented to the church by the st. Aloysius
Society of that congregation. The statue
Of their patron saint is a figure five feet in
height, handsomely carved in wood, and
made by Meyer & Co, of Munich.
Previous to the ceremonies of the bless
ing there was parade participated in bv
the St AlOysius Society and the Young
Mems Conference headed by a brass band.
The societies made a short parade over the
streets in the neighborhood of the church.
a feature of the parade was the statue,
which was carried by four members of the
society. The church was crowded to its
limits when the services began. The bless
ing of the statue was performed by Rev.
Father Bernard, after which Rev. Father
Fidellis, South American missionary,
preached a sermon in English, and Father
Bernard one in German. Father Fidellis'
sermon was history of the life and acts of
ST AlOysius, and he asked his hearers to
follow the example set by that saint.

COMBINATION OF VIRTUES.
A Good Sermon on the Life and Character
of Jesus Christ.

of Jesus Christ.
Rev. c. B. Mitchell, of Plainfeld, N. j.,
the brilliant young Methodist minister who
is filling the pulpit of the Smithfeld Street
Church during the absence of the regular
pastor, preached good sermon last even
ing on the life and character of Jesus
Christ, taking Mark vii, "a for his text.
With Jesus, he said, it was question OF
purpose and not of place. He was as
ready to disclose Himself in Nazareth
as in Tyre. In Nazareth they knew
Him as the carpenters son, but
that Nazarene carpenter could not and
never will be hid. Why? Because of His
personality-not His person. There is not
line written as to His form. Some tra-
ditions describe Him as the fairest among
ten thousand, and others as one marked,
stricken and afflicted.
Rev. Mr.. Mitchell described many of the
pictures of Jesus as the artists had painted
Him, but asked, "who ever saw picture
of the Savior that would satisfy him?"
But, said he, read John, who wrote for the
Christians, and you look into the face of
Jesus, our Lord and Savior, the Son of God,
one absolutely superior, whose enemies
could not find the slightest fault. Christ
was not great in special lines, but great in
all things, forming combination of virtues
such as the world never saw before and
never will see again.

FAITH AND REPENTANCE
The Fundamentals of Christian Religion
Says Rev. G. w. Chalfant

The Fundamentals of Christian Religion,
Says Rev. G. w. Chalfant.
Rev. George w. Chalfant, of the Park
Avenue Presbyterian Church, conducted
serviceSyesterday afternoon at the cozy lit
tie Morningside chapel, choosing for his
subject Hebrews vi, l. The fundamentals
of Christian religion, he said, were faith
and repentance. The first thing that Christ
taught was repentance, and He'never ceased
70 impress this upon His disciples and fol-
lowers, even till the end of His ministry on
earth. Without faith We could not live a
natural lie, as a certain amount of conf
dence and faith must be placed in men and
things. 1t is equally indispensable that we
place implicit faith in Jesus Christ as the
savior of men before We can live Christian
life. All things material have a certain
progression, growth maturity, decay There
is always a limit to human perfection, But
the progress OF the soul is eternal. While
the soul is constantly growing upward to-
ward perfection there is never a point
reached beyond which there may be no fur
ther spiritual Developments

OF the Almighty.
The pulpit at the Allegheny R. P
Church, Sandusky and North Diamond
streets, was filed yesterday morning and
afternoon by George McBurney, a young
attorney. AT the afternoon service he
spoke on Gods protection. He took his
text from one of David's psalms, II will
abide in thy tabernacle forever"
The speaker then went on to show how
constant is Gods protection so long as one
follows his teachings. He illustrated this
by taking up the life of David and show
ing how he was victorious as long as he led
pure life. and how his armies were de-
feated when David forsook his God He
said it was the same now, Sor when men be-
come powerful they forget God because
they thought everything had been attained
through their own individual efforts
