COWARDLINESS A CRIME.
A Williamsburg Preacher Who Says His
Calling Is Not Free From It.

Williamsburg Preacher Who Says His
Calling Is Not Free From 1t.
Rev. Mr.. Bates, of St. Stephens Episco-
pal Church, Williamsburg, preached yester-
day morning on the subject: eve ought
to obey God rather than man" He took
his text from Acts ", verse %. He COM
menced his discourse by a picturesque de-
scription of the Apostles preaching in the
Temple, and their arrest by order of the
authorities. Then Peter, when charged
with being disturber of the public peace,
simply answered, "We ought to obey God
rather than man" The pastor then went
on: ''Now, that was a very plain, self-evi-
dent truth that Peter asserted, but it took
a good deal of manliness, after all, to stand
up there and say it. And as thought upon
the matter was impressed with the amaz-
ing part that cowardliness plays in leading
men into sin. How few are the Peters who,
when the critical moment comes, have
the courage to stand up and assert that we
ought to obey God rather than man." The
speaker said he believed that cowardliness
in the sight of their fellowmen is at the
root of nine-tenths of the sin in the civil
lied world. He referred to the moral cow
ardice of young men who fall into vice be-
cause they fear the jeers of their compan-
straight and narrow path of virtue.
The preacher paid his respects to doctors,
lawyers and others, showing that they were
all towards in one way and another. He
did not spare his own calling. 'There are
towards in the pulpit, too--numbers of
of ministers who are afraid
to preach what the word of God commands
them to, for fear of what the people will
to preach hrotherly love, be-
cause of feud in the great mans family
upon whose patronage the church depends.
Afraid to cry down too much the abuse of
alcohol, for certain large supporter of the
church is known to indulge himself too
freely, and he might take offense." He
multiplied instances, and he spoke very
plainly of the cowardice of clergymen in
many directions Mr.. Bates concluded
with these words: "When tempted to
cowardliness remember the Great Presence
remember the heroism of your Master,
Christ, and boldly answer all temptation
with the words, we ought to obey God
rather than man."

JOHN HAMMILL DEAD.

An Ex-Superintendent of the Pittsburg Fire
Department Dies From Paralytic
stroke-Served Long and Faithfully for
the Public Safety.
John Hammill, one of the Oldest fremen
and an ex-chief of the Pittsburg department,
died at his home, No. 176 First avenue, yes-
terday morning, from the effects of an at
tack of paralysis. He was 30 wears of age,
and has been in the fire department nearly
80 years. Mr.. Hammill was at one time an
athlete of considerable reputation in his
younger days, being extremely clever in the
hstic art and an oarsman of great ability.
He was a brother of Jimmy Hammill, who
about 20 years ago was the champion single
sculler of America.
In May, 1875, Hammill was elected super
intendent of the paid fire department., sue
ceeding William White, who had held the
position for two years. In July, while on
his way TO a fire, Hammill was attacked
with paralysis and had to be carried home
He lay In helpless state for nearly year,
but through the efforts of his friends kept
his Official position until the year for which
he was elected expired, his duties being
performed by John H. McElroy. William
White was reelected at the end of Ham,
mills term and served one year, being sue
ceeded in 1877 by Superintendent Evans.
After recovering from the stroke Hammill
was made storekeeper for the fire depart
ment, position he held at the time of the
second paralytic attack about two weeks
ago, which ended in his death.
His home was with Daniel Echols, of the
No. 2 company, to whom he was related.
He was unmarried. The remains will be
inferred from Mr.. Echols' home at o'clock
tomorrow morning with the usual cere-
mony attendant upon fireman's funeral.

JOHNS VISION OF GOD

Is the Theme Rev. r. S. Smith Disc3ursed
Upon at a Campmeeting Yesterday.
Rev. r. S. Smith, pastor of the Merrill
NJ. E. Church, conducted services at Ideal
Grove, on the Perrysville road, yesterday
afternoon and evening. At the former
services their was but a sparse audience.
Rev. Mr. Smith discoursed on "John's
Vision of the Glorious Redeemer." John,
said the preacher, had vision of the
church of Christ under the representation
of seven golden candlesticks These repre-
sented the seven Asiatic churches which
John described. In a spiritual sense the
term may relate to the completeness of the
church, as the number seven, in the Scrip
ture, indicated perfection.
As an example they had the fact that
God rested on the seventh dav, and again,
every seventh year was Sabbathical year
They read also of priests, trumpets, Z
churches, seals, spirits, angels. John
saw the blessed Christ in the midst of seven
golden candlesticks. In this vision of the
Redeemer there were exhibited the en-
blemS of His eternity. ellis ewes were as
flames Of fire. They were so brilliant, so
searching: all was naked before Him; He
saw the end from the beginning. He knows
the heart and He searcheth the thoughts of
the children of men. His knowledge is per-
feet, unbounded and eternal

A PARALLEL FROM HISTORY.
Rev. Mr. Davidson, of Ireland, on Spiritual
Leprosy at the Eighth Street Church.

Rev. Mr.. Davidson, of ireland, on Spiritual
Leprosy at the Eighth Street Church.
Rev. Mr.. Davidson, a young minister
from the North of ireland, who is visiting
here, occupied the pulpit in the Eighth
Street Reformed Presbyterian Church at the
afternoon service yesterday. His sermon
consisted of a running commentary on the
fifth chapter IL Kings. Taking the first
verse, the preacher declared that it exhibited
the world as being full of inconsistencies.
This King Of Syria, referred to in the verse,
had all the wealth, all the power, and all the
happiness the world could shower upon him.
but withal he was unclean he was leper
There were millionaries of the present
day who were as lepreus, as sinful, as the
King Of old, for they were born in sin, and
whoever is in sin must be leprous. In the
oiden time leprosy was of two kinds, white
and black. Both were incurable. The
leprosv of this age is not so apparent, but it
is there; invisible, but it exists in the souls
of the ungodlv. This form of leprosy was
as incurable as the physical description;
there was not a man in the world who could
remove leprosy from their souls. There
was bur one means, one river of purifying
grace, the river of the blood of Christ.

The Other Side OF a Recent Conneautville Jr.
O. U. A. M. Report.
Writing to THE DISPATCH under date of
July Is, resident of Conneautville says:
Your issue of to-day contains statement
from State Councillor Collins, of the Jr. o. U.
A. NJ, regarding the formation of council
at Conneautville. The statement in question
is incorrect and very misleading in many
particulars, making a "mountain of a mole
hill" As am one of the "Many Citizens"
referred to, would like to give correct
version of the affair. 'Tis true there were
some letters written, but instead of 81 the
number was "a. The purpose was not to in
timidate or frighten anyone, only to en-
tighten some of them, as a number OF the
would-be members claimed they never heard
of the order before.
The organizers of the council claimed it
was simply beneficial order, paying GER
tain amount week to each member in case
of sickness and didn't interfere with any
mans rights, politically or otherwise, when
it is well known the contrary is true. The
letters sent to those people did not state
one-half what could be said against it. 1
know scores of instances whore the order
has opposed men for office simply on account
of their religion.
In regard to the new council formed at
Conneautville, it does not contain the fore
most citizens" of the place, being made up
largely of boys: nor Is there large number
of professional men included among the
members" There is only one. Another mis-
statement in the interview is that the author
of the letters was accused face to face and
admitted his guilt. Such is not the case.
Neither did the letters sent to the aspiring
members "act as d boomerang" for sew
eral declined to join who had intended
to. The letters were advised by sew
eral as good tizens as there are in the
place, who deprecated seeing an order
started in their midst that will certainly do
no good and can do great deal of harm.

WHAT CONSTITUTES CHARACTER.
Rev. DR.. Sutherland Inculcates strol
Teaching on a Pertinent Subject.

Rev. DIR. Sutherland Inculcates Strong
Teaching on Pertinent Subject.
At the evening services at the Second
Presbyterian Church, Rev. DR.. Sutherland
preached to large congregation on the sub
ject of "Character He said in part: ''The
Apostle Jude, in the text, looks upon men,
morally, as so many structures or edifices in
course of erection by themselves. They are
building something. That something is
character We are all familiar with the
saying that every man is the architect of
his own fortune 1t is something built up
by his own skill and efforts. 1t is also true
that every man is the architect of his own
character. Others may have some effect
upon mans reputation, but he alone de-
termines what his character will be. Char
acter partains to the person himself 1t is
the assemblage fqualities that distinguishes
one person from another. The first
care in building the structure of human
character should be in having a secure
foundation. Otherwise it will not stand the
severe tests to which it will be subjected in
life Faith in Christ puts within the soul
theIprinciple of spiritual life. The char
acter that does not rest on Christ, that is not
inspired by Him, does not begin right and
can never end right.
In tne second place cnaracter-Dulldlng is
a progressive work-a work requiring time,
as all building does. We see how men be-
come learned and wealthy and how build
ings grow day by day, but we do not act on
the fact that character grows in the same
way; that it IS the sum of what we are do
ing: the sum of the little acts of life.
"All possibilities are before the one who
will work, work patiently, knowing that in
due time he will reap if he faint not. This
is the hardest lesson to impress on the
minds of the young. In fact, none of us
are wholly alive to it. Character needs
wise choice of material Think for mo-
ment what kind of an edifce human char
acter is. Think of its design and uses, and
of the atmosphere in which it stands, and
the storms of moral heat and cold it must
endure, and of the time for which it ought
to be built. The body we possess may not
last great many years, but the man who
dwells in it will live forever. He will sur
vive not only the decay of his own body
but the wreck of matter and the crash of
worlds. Surely nothing but the best of
material should be used in such structure
Is this"

MIDSUMMER SERMONS.
Rev. MIR. Milligan, One of the Sus-
pended Preachers, Talks to
HIS USUAL LARGE CONGREGATION.
DR.. McAlliSter's Pulpit Occupied by North
of Ireland Divine.
SOME OF YESTERDAYS LOCAL TEXTS

The usual large congregation was present
at Cyclorama Hall yesterday afternoon to
hear Rev. J. r. J. Milligan. His subject
was: Transformed, not Conformed." He
brought out very prettily the idea of one
being transformed into Christianity by asso-
citation. A man is known by the company
be keeps Good associations, he believed,
would make good men, and from that he
argued that by association with the Bible
and with God men were transformed into
Christians.
Christ, he said, was the exemplifcation
of the idea that only the Deity could keep
pure and yet in constant communion with
the worst elements. For that reason He has
been likened to the rose, because He grew
among thoms and difficulties and vet was
pure; or to the lily which raises its snowy
purity from the foulDess of the marshes
Said he: MANY men do not believe in
PRAYER in the abstract, but they do devoutly
reverence that prayerfulness which charac-
terized the lives of a sainted mother or
sister-that prayerfulness which did not
make them merely conform to religious
forms, but transformed them into
living Christians Christ's power was
not all in the words that He
spoke, but in the life of purity that He lived
among men. That was the secret of His
power. You may not believe in Chris
tianity that is written on paper, but you
do reverence the Christianity that your
mother lived You NAV also be transformed
by reading the Bible, for book is but the
impress of the authors mind and in this
YOU read the mini of God, and the more
you associate with it the more you see in
the same light that He saw. Still one gets
nearest to God by prayer, for there one has
his conversation in heaven. You feel in
true prayer that you are actually tokening
with God. There are hosts of prayers that
never reach higher than the ceiling. The
attitude of prayer is entirely dependent on
circumstances. 1t is all in feeling that one
talks to God, and such a feeling must bring
about a transformation
