WOMEN AT A MEMS SERMON.

The Rev. DIr. McMinn Lays Down Rules
For the Ideal Christian Life.
The Rev. Edwin McMinn, pastor of the
Summit Avenue Baptist Church, preach
ed sermon TO young men yesterday
afternoon at the Wayne Street Reformed
Church. The church was well filled, the
audience following Mr.. McMinn's dis
course attentively. There were q few
ladies present.
Mr. McMinn took as his text Romans. I.
10: "I beseech you, therefore, brethren,
by the mercies of God, that We present
your bodies, living sacrifice. holy, ae-
ceptable unto God, which is your reason
able service" He said in part: First,
this text is the exhortation of the greatest
teacher among men; second, it is the
most encouraging motive given
for the mercies of God;
third, a rational service is called
for. and there is nothing in it in any way
contrary to the dictates of reason or ra-
tional judgment of man. The proper nor
NAL exercise of reasoning faculties call
for and approve such service; fourth,
such a service is acceptable to God. That
is, the holiness of God and the nationality
OF man unite in approving of this service.
An unacceptable thing to God is an
abomination. Who would dare to offer it
while exercising his rational powers?
."In presenting our bodies TO God think
of what wonderful structures they are as
organizations adapted to an end, and
how they are subject to will. reason and
emotion. or the physical responsibility
of the use of Will in averting threatening
disease and approaching death. Our
bodies are the temples of God-of the
Holy Christ.
I'VE present our bodies to God as we
stand before him in daily prayer, in every
case of direct providence, IN our COM
munion and III the presentation at the
Judgment. There is willing and an
unwilling presentation. We see Que
form of the willing presentation of a

lustration is seen in the Sisters of Chari-
ty and Mercy of the day. But every

A FINANCIAL CRISIS.
The Governor then explained that the
benefits of the Martin tax act were not
lasting. The back taxes had been nearly
all paid. 1t was now necessary to meet
condition of affairs where such an ex-
traordinary financial resource must not
be depended on. The city must rely upon
its resources of the city. "And you want
man." he said, who has the brains to see
how to meet this emergency. That's
why ask every citizen in favor of good
government to vote for Allan l.. McDer-
mott. [Applause.] The Republican can
didate has not the brains to do it, lap

this emergency than child in the street.

him, and the honor Is nothing to him un-

George l.. Record closed the meeting
with an eloquent speech that won for
him much applause and the commenda-
ties of old political campaigners.

An Idle Political Rumor About the
Horse Car Employees Disposed Of
An unfounded rumor has been circu-
lated to the effect that orders had been
been given the employees of one of the horse
car companies that they must support
Colonel Wanser for Mayor. l called on
President Charles B. Thurston today and
asked him If there was any truth in the
rumor. SO far es the Jersey City and
Bergen Company was concerned. He re-
piled that there was none.
Mr.. McDermott, he said, was friend OF
his. and he was one of the citizens who
had asked Mr.. McDermott to consent to
be a candidate. Mr.. Thurston had heard
the rumor, and he had directed Superin-
tendent Sayre to contradict it to the men
Mr., Thurston said that the company never
attempted to influence the politics of its
employees, and he wanted that distinctly
understood by them.
In regard to Colonel Wanser, Mr..
Thurston added that he too was friend :.
A nephew of the Colonel had for several
years been employed in the Superintend-
ent's office, but this made no difference in
regard to tie political compaign. The
employees were all permitted to do as they
pleased. No attempt whatever was made
to influence them.
pany never attempts to interfere with
their politics. Most Of them will vote for
Mr.. McDermott.
Investigation showed that the rumor
was equally untrue as far as the North
Hudson County railroad was concerned
The conductors and several of the offic.
ials favored McDermott's election.

RECITAL AT ST. JOHNS CHURCH.

Rossfni's fsStabat Mater" and Gounod's
"De Profundis' Well Rendered.
Il would be difficult to conceive of a
more beautiful or appropriate service of
song than that rendered last evening by
the choir of st. Johns Free Church. The
selections were from Rossini's "Stabat
Mater" and Gounod's "De Profundis."
The church was taxed to its utmost seat
ing capacity by an audience that followed
the recital most attentively, and if re-
marks made after by various ones are a
criterion. the service was an artistic sue
cess.
The soloists were one and all in excel
lent voice, and the choir, under the con-
ductorship of Mr.. John White, with Mr..
Morris K. Schwartz at the organ added
new laurels to the we'll known st. Cecilia
Club. The service opened with process
sional hymn followed by the reading Of
the Passion by the Rev. Mr.. Trimmer.
The choir then rendered the chorus,
''Stabat Mater Dolarosa," Mrs. Let's sing
ing the incidental soprano solo. The ex-
quisite tenor solo. "Cujus Amman, (" fol-
lowed by Edward Boys. In the duett,
"Quis est homo" Mrs. Let's and Miss
Frances Houghtaling brought out all
the beauty of the tender music and words.
Mr.. Edward Ahrens sang "Pro peccatis
suae GENTS" very impressively, and the
solo work ended with Miss Meyers mezzo
soprano solo, Fac ut portem Christi NOR
tenn"
Gounod's beautiful DE Profundisv
concluded the programme. This was
chiefly chorus work, except for the bari
tone solo, "Et Ipse redimet" bY Mr.. Ros-
enbaum. The fugue movement in the
conclusion was well rendered. each part
sustaining its own admirably, and In the
end joining as one in the victorious

Showers Are Expected and Cool Winds
May Arrive.
The resplended and pure beauty of yes
terday's wondrous weather which came
after March's clustering roughness like
song bird after a storm. spread over
the city again this morning with un-
diminished gladness. The soft, warm wind
blew delicately from the South, the sun
light full and strong fell into tree tops, on
roofs and streets, and into hearts until the
flowers and leaves hidden from the rude
winter seemed about TO appear aud greet
the world again. All day long the heat
but cool winds have always
accompanied, it making it bearable.
Early this morning the thermometers
marked GO degrees. and all morning the
mercury has crept up until at noon 1t
reached the 81 degree mark, and Farmer
Dunn says the day may see it climb AS
high as 73 degrees without effort.
His forecast this morning was fair
weather for today. with increasing
cloudiness and rain tonight or tomorrow.
The Nebraska storm will probably pass
over the lake regions and be felt along
the Atlantic States tomorrow. 1t Will be
accompanied by high onshore winds.

PROBABLY A VETO.
The Governor Will Settle the Fate
Of the Railway Trust Bill
Tomorrow.
Special to the Jersey City Neps.

TRENTON, April 4, 1S92.-It is q matter
of general belief here that Governor Alb
bett has determined not to sign the bill
legaifzing the coal combines. Since the
conference in his New York Office on Sat
urday with the Senators who voted for
the bill, particularly the Senators who
were likely to find themselves in an en-
barrassed position should he not sign it
the fate of the bill has been regarded as
settled. The Governor saw what the
effect of The bill would be on the public
temper. and he concluded to bring them
all together and straighten the matter.
All confessed that they voted for the bill
because it was represented to be a good
political brick to down the Pennsylvania
Railroad. They also confessed that the
Governor did not urge its passage.
Governor Albeit has now settled the
fate of the bill. He will not sign it. The
formal announcement will be made to-
morrow. AL the Senators present at the
Governors New York office concluded
that he would not sign it. The State
officers at Trenton are in the same frame
of mind today
