soUTHsIDE ARTEsIAN WELLS.
Councils to Be Asked for Permission to
Sink Them in Every Square.

Councils to Be Asked for Permission to
Sink Them in Every Square,.
The residents of the Southside are so we'll
pleased with the success of the artesian we'll
sunk near tine Humboldt school that thev
have started movement to have similar
wells placed on each square of that part OF
the city. To further this object, meeting
is to be held in Humboldt schoolhouse
next Wednesday evening of the Water CON-
mittee and citizens generally. 1t is pro-
posed at that time to have an ordinance
prepared, which will be submitted to City
Councils, granting the people the right to
sink wells in each square, tine location to be
decided upon by the Bureau of Water, but
the expense of each well to be borne by
those residing in the block in which it is
sunk.
Mr. J. Schneider. one of the movers in
the effort to give the Southsiders pure water,
in speaking OF this plan, said yesterday:
"The well at the Humboldt school has
proved to be such a benefit that there is O
general desire to have one sunk in each
square. We don't ask the city to paw
cent, only to give US the ground on which to
sink them. That well cost S207, but the
others will not cost so much. The pump at
the school is going almost continuously,
and there has never been any sign of it Civ
ing out. A recent analysis OF the water.
made by DR.. E. A. Murdorff, shows that
there is no animal contamination whatever.
The water is pure, and that is what we want.
1 can see no objection to this plan to get rid
of the Monongahela water for drinking pur-
poses."

NEED THE PEOPLES PRAYERS.
Ministers Want the Guidance and Support
of Their Congregations.

Ministers Want the Guidance and Support
of Their Congregations.
Rev. s. W. McCorkle, of the First Congrega-
tional Church, Allegheny, absent for two weeks
with the grip, was in his pulpit yesterday. He
spoke in The morning The Power That
Girds the Ministry of Jesus Christ" during
his sermon saying:
''The ministry of Jesus Christ must throw il
self back on the bosom of the church and Sc
cure strength from her prayers. The PRAYERS
of the church alone can make the ministry eff
cient. The college. seminary and travel have
their well defined and well understood nlace
in the equipment of the man who stands before
the people as their spiritual guide, but added to
all that he will find himself CIrded with strength
in the mighty prayers OF a sympathetic church
What are the marks of this word concerning
which prayer is asked that it may reach IT'S
fullest efficiency in the hands of a consecrated
ministry? 1t is light-gIving. searching endur-
ing, ConsoiinC. But great vital and divine as it
is, II is in the hands of men for dissemination
and perpetuatior: should not they have the
support and guidance of earnest PRAYER on the
part of the church?
Prayer is asked bv the ministry also for the
reason that upon the acceptance of this word
depends the salvation of immorl al souls can
imagine the anxiety of the railroad engineer
who nth a steady hand holds his engine as
il climbs the sleeps and turns the curves of
the mountains, but after all he is dealing with
the temporal and physical, while the minister
deals with immortal interests that take hold
of and reach into eternity Pray for him.
therefore. thatha may with skillfuI hand and
persuasive tongue present the truth sayingly.

.SMITING THE STAGE.

Theaters and Their Patrons.
HERESIES OF CHURCH HISTORY.
Dr.. Townsend on the Ethical Relations of
Employer and EmplOye.
OTHER PULPIT TOPICS OF YESTERDAY

Rev. d. McAllister, of the Eighth Street
Reformed Presbyterian Church, preached
yesterday afternoon on the demorallzlng
effect of the stage, the title of his discourse
being, Further Unimpeachable' Testimony
to the Impurity of the Theater." Mr.. Nc
Allister's remarks were vigorous, and he
called a spade a spade without any hesi-
tancv In the course of his sermon he said:
"The Legislature OF Minnesota has taken
a step in the right direction by the passage
OF the McHale bill prohibiting the wearing
of tights on the stage, but it is not right
that the church should lag behind and let
the Legislature lead in such work. The
church should take the initiative. The legis-
lators of Minnesota visited the performance OF
The Crystal Slipper before the final passage
Of the bill and L would have liked to have
known their thoughts when they left the
theater There is no question as TO the bad ef-
feet of such performances on Christian char-
acter. When You leave the theater are you IN
a fitting frame of mind to attend Bible class or
church, The Christian character OF pc ople
who attend such performances is OF low type
The theater is lnimical TO the best interests
of the community.
~ rake another charge: The theater

up to public view as a representative OF hlgn
art, and thousands go to see her; but need
not take up individual cases of actresses where
there are so many of them. Then, again, the
interest of many plays turns upon the disregard
of marriage ties-the love of married man
for a woman who is not his wife. or OF a mar
ried woman for man who is not her husband.
The witnessing of such play weakens the
fde!Ity OF a man to his wife and OF a wife 10 her
husband.
There is.no performance given in even the
most respectable theater that is not suggestive
of immortality. 1t may be o e ntence,
dance or a gesture, but it isRlways there. Last
week noticed colored pictures posted on the
streets-it was The Country Fair believe
and sume OF them were highly suggestive Dur
ing the week L received I letter from man
who started at the foot OF the ladder many
wears ago but has accumulated q large fortune.
He encourages me in my attitude toward the
theater. He saws he had two daughters He
INDUCED them in their fondness for visiting
theaters, until they became stage-struck. and
to-day they are outcasts. This mans heart is
broken.
at is argued that there can be nothing
wrong in the theater, because it Is patronized
by respectable people. Perhaps one Of you can
visit the theater and suffer no harm, but you
must remember that you set an example TO
others vino may be less fortunate, and that
among the frequenters of theaters you will
never find an earnest worker in the church"

EMPLOYERS AND THE EMPLOYED.
The Ethical Relations Between Them Con-
sidered by Rev. DIR. Townsend.

sidered by Rev. DIR. Townsend.
Rev. j. q. Townsad, d. D., pastor of the
Uuiversalist Church, yesterday morning chose
his topic The Ethical Relations Between EN-
ployers and the Employed" During the
course of his remarks he said:
That some, the few. will manage the business.
and that Others. the many, will sell their labor
for wages, is an arrangement that will continue
for many generations. 1t must follow, then,
that il is the duty of the employed to give to
their employers good and faithful work. 1t Is
Just as evident that II is the duty OF employers
10 give to their employees all the wages they
Justly earn. That is TO say, the relation be-
tween employer and employed is not mere
business but an ethical relation. Those
who read the signs of the times must
not by CONSCIOUSNESS competition should
wages be regulated, but by justice. 1t may
seem to some that this is sentiment but l think
they Will find it an issue intensely real and
practical before many years. The operatives
are not machines: they are men, they are
brothers, aud in proportion to their faithful
ness and skill should their wages increase.
How much then, should the employer pay his
employees? In the same measure he himself
expects to be paid for his services. OF course
he mus: have the larger part because he puts
in more capital and runs a larger risk. But
that larger part does not mean that he
is TO amass millions through the services
of his employees. He, in this case, receives
more than an ethical reward for his services
and investment. lie has taken what does not
belong 10 hlm. Nor does he condore his sin by
taking part of that wealth he has accumu-
lated, and giving it in charity, in feeding the
poor. in building hospital, or church. His
first duty is TO be just
In view of these principles 1 think-though
NAV he mistaken-that the demands of the
strikers in the coke regions are just. and should
be acceded to. / am confident that the present
trouble and waste of money and of life might
have beer avoided. In saying this l do not
affirm that every strike is right, or every demand
of the wor1ingmen is just. But am unable to
see why the demands of the cOkers are un-
reasonable and could not have been granted by
the employers. Socialism. which plans divis-
ion of property, is a dream, but that justice
should be the ground of all our relation is no
dream, but divine fiat which, in the end,
must be obeyed.

HEREsIEs OF CHURCH HISTORY.

Rev. e. r.. Donehoo Talks of the Important
Influence of Errors.
There shall arse false Christs, and false
prophets. and shall show great signs and won
ders; insomuch that. if it were possible, they
shall deceive the very elect" (Matthew A.2G
was the text taken by Rev. E. r. Donehoo. OF
the Eighth Presbyterian Church, yesterday.
The preacher said:
The heresies which have disturbed the church
from time to time form an important feature
in its history Some of these were of mush-
room growth. dying as suddenly as they came
into existence, while others made progress very
slowly, but at last gained considerable power
and long survived those who we're responsible
for their origin. One of the remarkable clr-
cumstances attending the propagation of these
errors was the fascination which they exercised
upon those who gave them credence. hepeilant
as many of those old errors appear to us, they
yet attracted many ami held them as by magic
spell. HJpnolism never held its victims under
stronger influence than have the errors by
which men have been led away from the SIM
plicity of the truth and constrained TO give up
the dearest relationships, invite persecution,
and court death, even, IN attestation OF their
confidence in beliefs which found no sanction
in the Scriptures, nor approval before the
tribunal of reason or common sense. The poet
Butler spoke truly when he said:
More proselytes and converts Use & accrue
To false persuasions than the right and true;
For error aud mistake are Infinite,
But truth has but one way to be L the right
The portratures which we draw of Vice and
Error are often very defective. We generally
paint Vice as hideous monster and Error as
deformed thing. utterly to be despised. Inc
errorist is more frequently fascinating being,
with honied words and winsome manners, who
lures men into its tolls by some cunningly
devised and attractive bait Thus Mohamedan-
ism appeals to mems base and sensual nature,
while splritualIsm plays upon the most sacred
affections of the soul. its deep love for the dear
ones who have passed beyond the mists, our
natural loncings to hold converse with their
departed spirits. Error brings to its aid the
charms of ora;ory, the arts Of the poet and
painter. the sophistries of the loglcian. and
even takes truth for a garb in which to dress
up the basest falsehoods. If the followers of
truth would only call to their aid the wisdom
and zeal and businesslike methods of the
enthusiastic errorist their cause would make
more rapid progress, and the day be fastened
when all that is evil shall be put away and the
clear, unclouded truth irradiate every soul, and
mankind the world over see eye to eye.

Usual Monthly Services in the Wood Street
Church Well Attended.
The usual monthly services. under the au-
spices of the Mission Franchise, were held yes-
terday in the chapel of the First Presbyterian
Church, on Wood street. a very large and fash
ionaole congregation being presses Indeed, il
the attendance increases in the ratio it has
during the last three months, larger quarters
must be sought The singing yesterday was
exceptionally good. The Western University
Glee Club had prepared special NUMBERS and
several solos were rendered by distinguished
amateurs. Carl Retter presided at the organ
with his customary skill.
Rev. J. Launity delivered a discourse which
dealt with the broad tenets OF Christianity
rather than with the particular belief of any
creed. Generally, he remarked on the fallacy
on pursuing earthly hopes and ambitions to
the detriment of the pursuit OF the love OF
God and share IN the heavenly Kingdom.
There were a number of clergymen of widely
differing creeds among those present. Prof.
Parker the energetic Secretary of the society,
is entitled to credit for the success which has
SO tar attended the Mission. He issued 1000
invitations for yesterdays services.
