CHURCHES MAY EXCLUDE,
But They should Not So Long as Heaven
Does Not, says DIR. Puryes.

But They ShOHld Not So Long as Heaven
Does Not, says DIR. Puryes.
Rev. George T. Purves, in the course of
his sermon at the evening services in the
First Presbyterian Church, referring to the
matter of long and short creeds, said he did
not care how long or how short a man s
creed was, so long as he believed in Jesus
Christ. The longer the creed the better
for it might assist q man in getting near the
truth. 1t did not matter how he added to
it or how long he made it, provided
it brought him nearer the truth.
Speaking of the tendency of some
churches TO exclude persons from
membership he said that though the Pres
byterian Church was accused of being mar
row on doctrinal points he had this to say,
that ii never excluded any person from
membership who made credible confess
sion Of faith in Jesus Christ. 1t did not
require them to assent to the doctrines of the
Presbyterian faith. He was reminded of a
sentence that fell from the lips of his
teacher at college, that since Jesus Christ
did not exclude from heaven churches had no
right to exclude on earth. The platform of the
Presbyterian Church was sufficiently broad
and sufficiently liberal to admit within the
fold every person vino believes in Jesus
Christ, and had so affirmed by making a
confession of faith.
In conclusion, DIR. Purves said he wanted
to make statement. He learned from ex-
perience that in this time of doctrinal dis
putes and charges of heresy, one thing stood
out strong and clear. and that was the in
creasiug prominence of the person of Jesus
Christ. 1t mattered not how much dispute
centered around doctrinal points, even to
an attack on the Bible itself, Jesus Christ,

A SHOPLIFTER OF BEER.
How an Allegheny Woman Puzzled the
Brewers and Carried OFF Barrels of In
toxicants Under Her Apron - Her
ChanpeahIe Form Gave Her Away

How an Allegheny Woman Puzzled the
Brewers and Carried OFF Barrels of In
toxicants Under Her Apron - Her
Changeable Form Gave Her Away.
The man who could carry a keg of beer
under his vest has existed in dozen cities,
but Allegheny carries off the palm. She
produces a woman who can carry away an
eighth barrel of that intoxicant under her
apron, and repeat the process day after day.
In short, she is beer shoplifter. For
some time kegs of beer have been
missed from Eberhardt 6 Ober's great
brewery on the Troy Hill road.
The thefts were always made in broad day-
light, and no one could find how the rob-
berry was being accomplished. The en-
ployes were ordered to keep close watch,
but in spite of their vigilance the mysteri-
Gus dIsappearances continued.
The only person who in any way attracted
suspicion was a big, good-natured German
woman, who was occasionally seen near the
great rows of kegs piled up ready for ship
ment. Still she was never seen to take
anything with her.
Renewed vigilance, however, brought out
the fact that her form changed as frequently
as the weather. One day her figure Would
be well rounded, and the next she would
have an emaciated appearance. She was fol-
lowed and searched, and under the broad ex-
panse of gingham apron was found one of
the missing kegs, held in place by leather
straps. Her sudden changes and the dis
appearance of the beer were both ex-
planned, but her method was so ingenious
that the brewers did not prosecute her. She,
however, promised to sin no more and her
form has now placid sameness.

THE FLAG AND THE CROSS.
An Interesting Sermon at the Oakland
Baptist Church Yesterday.

Baptist Church Yesterday.
Rev. William W. West, of the Oakland
Baptist Church, took for his subject yester-
dav morning THE Flag and the Cross" for
the text, In the name of God we will set
up our banner God forbid that 1 should
glory save in the cross. Psalms, xx., 8:
Galatians, Vi. IA He said: every nation has
its flag. Whatever else the children of
Israel NAV have had, they had the ark of
the covenant. What the ark was to them
the flag is to our country, lacking the
thought of the presence of God. What the
haw is to our country the cross is TO the
Church Of Christ. They teach, first of all,
victory. Our dag has never been effectually
conquered; through all the wars Of our
country 1t has come off victorious So with
the cross of Christ; it has suffered reverses
from taithieSs followers who have disgraced
il; but it can say, with the flag, Il have
never been conquered
"The flag is a source of Joy though duty;
many a hard-fought battle has it gone
through. But the Joy of the soldier is the
victory he has won: so the Christian re-
joices in the duty the cross brings him, and
the happy one is he who can say with John,
i must decrease, but He must increase.
There, again, ii is the symbol of consecrated
effort Many States fought under one flag;
SO there must be mterdenominational union
TO overcome the national evils. 1t is the
symbol OF liberty to all, but of license to
none; so with the cross No man can saw,
1 am the MASTER; none but He. 1t de-
maHds absolute allegiance. No other flag
can be substituted for it. A foreigner
adopts the Stars and Stripes; so, under the
cross, we torsake all for Jesus Christ We
owe absolute allegiance to Him.
