PROFESSOR BRIGGS POSITION
Not Unlike That of the Unitarians, Says Rev.
DIR. Townsend.

Rev. DR.. J. G. Townsend announced YES
terday that two more Sundays will close his
work here, and Rev. Howard MacQueary
will preach on June Z. Mr.. Townsend yes
terday took for his topic Goodness" )" and in
concluding his address said:
Travelling on dark road in the country.
you have seen a man ahead of yOu with a
lantern. This man knew not that anyone
WIS behind him who was walking in his
light. Over some lonely road, along the
path of some dark sorrow, by the way of
some terrible tragedy, walks brother un-
seen by you, whose only hope, whose one
bright star, is your goodness. Quench not
then, that beautiful light. Remember the
words OF Himswho husbands all human in
huence: Let your light, your goodness, so
shine before men that they may see your
good works and glorify your Father which
is in heaven"
In his remarks after the sermon, DIR. Town.
send said that in n conversation with Prof
Swing last week, he said to him: professor
when you came out of the church it was n
novelty. 1t is no longer so now"
NO. said Prof. Swing at is moi. and 7
am confident that DR. Briggs, if he knew If.
stands substantially on our ground.n
DIR. Townsend also said there were at least
six ministers in the two cities who
would welcome trial and expulsion from
the church as the best way to relieve them
of the dilemma in which they found them
selves, of holding broad views in an ortho-
dox pulpit.

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL.
Rev. c. e. Locke breaches on the Eighth of
the Ten Commandments.

Rev. Charles Edward Locke continued his
series of sermons on the "Decalogue" last
evening in the Smithfield Street Methodist
Episcopal Church. The house was crowded
and the attention close, indicating the inter-
est of the congregation in the earnest words
of the speaker. Mr.. Locke began his sermon
by stating that John Rusl1in well remarked
that in 80 years he had never heard q sermon
on the old-fashioned eighth commandment,
"Thou shalt not steal" and yet during all
that time deception and trickery were on
the increase. He added:
1t is to rebuke the fragrant infractions of
this piece of sinaitic legislation that ad-
dress you. The eighth commandment has a
wider field than merely to prohibit the secur-
ing by stealth of property which belongs to
another. 1t thunders forth against dishon-
esty, deception and dissimulation of every
sort. The gospel of the eighth command
ment is sadly needed in modern affairs.
The eighth commandment institutes the
right of property. This is the underlying
principle without which civilization is inn
possible. Unless this commandment is hon.
ored, men cannot live together in social rela-
tion. We have right to possess and control
what we have secured by our own legitimate
labor. Property is theft may be the vocif-
erous cry of the erratic Communist, but it is
not according to Sinai. This commandment
ing tbiler. 1t forbids sinful extravagance
and miserly penuriousness, for that is rob-
bling ourselves of happiness and peace. 1t
forbids selfishness, for that is robbing Others
1t forbids irreligion, for that is robbing God
1t forbids false balances, short yardsticks,
shoddy goods and misleading advertise
ments. 1t forbids adulterations, usury and
failure to return borrowed property.
The eighth commandment is the foe of
sharp and crafty business dealings; of the
common practice of affecting prices by STRAIT
egem. 1t is against trusts and monopolies
and all combinations by which "the big fish
eat up the little ones" Competition and
modern customs have countenanced and en-
cOuraged many things which are inherently
and viciously unrighteous and plainly op-
posed by the eighth law of the Decalogue

Jake had not been on the line for three or
four months, but after hunt he was found
the other day enjoying a glass of lager.
Jake said that he came to this country from
Germany in 1854; after roaming around for
few years he finally landed in this CITY
and went to work for the old bus line.

construction of the street car line. When
that was completed he was EMPLOYED as
driver, and continued in the service for %
years, with the exception of one wear he
served in the army. He was a member of
Knapp's battery, but, as he put it, he was
''too lucky" never having been in an en-
gagement. Tonorrow Jake starts for the
Soldiers Home at Erie, where he will
spend the balance of his days in ease and
quiet.

WHERE CATHoLICIsM LEADS.

Too Little Religious School Training Among
Protestants, Says Preacher.
"The Responsibility Which Roman Catho
licism Has Placed on Protestantismr was
the subject of Rev. s. W. McCorkle's sermon
yesterday morning at the First Christian
| Church, Manhattan and franklin streets,
! Allegheny. He brought out prominently
the idea that the great power of the Catholic
\ Church was in the fact that religious and
secular education go hand in hand, while the
| Protestant children receive only secular
training. He believed the only way to keep
/ pace with the Catholic Church was to bring
| up the standard of the Sabbath schools,
since it is impossible to give religious train
| ing in the public schools. Said he:
"Some people are even radical enough to
believe that a secular education is all that is
needed. They overlook the power of con-
| science for good. While some people who
possess well educated consciences may go
wrong, a well trained conscience is the
greatest guide to good: Among the elements
which make an educated conscience is the
belief in a personal God, a reverence for
Goc's love, for reverence of the Lord is the
beginning of wisdom. Another factor is the
knowledge and belief in divine displeasure
A sense of dread of Gods displeasure is
essential to morality.
There is no power to reform in knowledge
alone. Science does not purify of itself
There must be something else. The some
thing else plead for is religious instruction
in the public schools. What is there in
knowledge to bind human passions and hold
them in restraint? knowledge is a power
for good or evil, and is only turned either
way by the presence or lack of religious
training"
Here the speaker cited the works of such
men as Byron, Burns and John Stewart Mill,
all of which are tainted with spice of i'm
morality. Continuing, he said: "The per
manency of government has its safest basis
on the moral conviction of the people. The
staying power of government must rest
either in moral or physical power. In the
military rests the physical power, and it is
not that in America. The real standing
army of America is the 100000 of Sun
day school pupils and the 2,5OO0O0
of Sunday school and church work
publication, else all the ex-convicts
would become good citizens. The staying
powerthe power to purify is found back of
law, back of science, back of secular educa-
ton. 1t is found only in the Bible which is
the fountain head of pure conviction, flowing
out through the church, the homes and the
schools.
Catholicism has forced the issue by being
largely responsible for excluding religious
education from the public schools and We
must meet it by putting more conscience
into our Sunday schools. The church is
under bond to teach religious truths. The
children get.only the secular at the schools
and the moral is left to the streets. 1t is the
duty of the church to supply this deficiency
for there is no school of moral and religious
education outside the church"

LIFE AFTER DEATH.
Rev. e. X. Donehoo's Evening Sermon on a
Topic Very Often Discussed.

"The Dead Shall Live" Isaiah xvi, I9. R.
v, was the text of Rev. L. r. Donehoo's ser.
mon last evening. During his remarks Mr.
Donehoo said:
The question of life after death is too seri-
Gus to be dismissed lightly. If the longest,
the happiest, the most successful lives have
nothing to show for it all when death touches
them but q few feet of earth, would it not
have been better never, to have been bornc
The dreams of youth are at best mockery,
the achievements of man in the days of his
pride and glory are vain and prOftless, the
mature reflections Of old age are utterly
lluslve if the grave is our final destiny.
What would we not give if only we could
unseal the lips of our dead, and learn from
them OF that deep mystery, hidden by an
impenetrable vel from our view, which
they have fully solved. What thrills of JOY
would iii us if We could catch the sound of
iamlllar voices across deaths icy flood as
surfing us that they had entered upon an
other existence happier than any that
mortal ever conceived of in their fondest
dreams.

The Main Street of the Borough Properl,
Paved for the First Time.
The main street of Williamsburg is being

contractors, and they are actually working

people who stumbled over loose blocks and
causing profanity on the part of the bust

structions when trying to make trains in the

Wilkinsburgers had almost got used to the
annoyance, and although they grumbed and
prayed for an improvement, they had little
hope OF it. But the contractors were busy
last week, and now there is.a stretch Of

last evenings service, Jacobs Dream. y

some of the dreams prominent in Bible his
tory, as used by God to communicate to some
of his people his instructions or expecta.
tions. Jacobs dream proved the turning
point in his life.
Continuing his address, the pastor dis
cussed the scientific causes for dreams and
not disputing them at all, said that God
could bring this about to answer his pur-
pose. He also discussed the superstition re-
garding dreams at the present day. AS usual

esting and instructive.
