What Editor A. j. Steinman Thinks About
The Mckinley BILL

The Mckinley Bill.
THE TIMES received yesterday from
Mr.. R. j. McGrann. the well.known
railroad contractor, OF Lancaster, Pa, O
copy OF the Lancaster Intelligencer of
Wednesday, March 16. The following
is from the pen of its able editor, A. j.
Steinman:

failures abroad have been accompanied
by unparalleled crops in our great West

no encouraging revival OF business, no
increase in wages or marked decease in
the cost OF living, but quite the reverse.
Wages show downward tendency.

PREACHING THE GOSPEL.
DIR. Sands Says IL Is Applicable to All Con-
ditions of Society.

DIR. Sands Says IL Is Applicable to All Con-
ditions of Society.
Preaching the Gospel was the subject of
sermon by the Rev. J. ID. Sands at the
Seventh L. P. Church yesterday morning.
In the course Of his remarks Mr.. Sands en-
deavored to dispel some erroneous concep-
tions which are entertained by certain per-
sons as to what constitutes true gospel
preaching.
Taking for a text First Corin nthians, Ill,
'Christ sent ME not to baptiZe, but to preach
the gospel" Mr.. Sands defined what he con-
sidered as Paul's conception of true gospel
preaching. He said: "The GospeIas preached
by Paul, forms an interesting study, not for
the preacher alone, but as well for the
hearer. There are times when the minister,
in dealing with some of the sins common to
society, is charged with preaching some
other doctrine than that of the Gospel.
1t is not an uncommon thing for those
whose sins are rebuked to cry Justify for
whatthey are pleased to term the preaching
of the Gospel In view OF this 1t is well Tor
us to observe the preaching of the Gospel by
one who may be regarded as master
preacher. Consider primarily what was the
Apostles conception of and what did Paul
of that which is implied by the expressions:
Jesus Christ anu Him Crucified," and
"Christ, the Resurrection"
Paul conceived the gospel to be
Summed up IN the statement OF Cnrlst,
(which was that power by which men are
uplifted from the depths of sin into state
OF primitive perfection. But it was not in
merely setting forth of the doctrine. but
in the full and complete application of its
truths to the needs of everyday life that its
full benefit is obtained. The Gospel Is
nothing il it is not applicable to lie in every
form. There is nothing in life that can be
regarded as beyond the reach of the Gospel.
Paul applied 1t to everything in life, and
there was no condition of societv concern
ing which, in his hands, tile Gospel was

PREPARING FOR EMERGENCIES.
An Interesting Sermon by DIR. Sutherland
Last Evening.

Last Evening.
Preparing for Emergencies" was tine
theme of the Rev. DIR. Sutherland's dis
course at the Second Presbyterian Church
last night. His text WAS taken from John
Vi. 9: There is a lad here which hath five
barley loaves and two small fishes" After
detailing the circumstances of the miracle
from which the text is taken. he said: 1--WE
can imagine the impression which this
manifestation of superhuman power mnst
have made on the minds, not only of tle
prOmiscuou~ crowd present, but also on the
minds OF the disciples; and one cannot help
wondering now the young lad felt as he wit
messed the miraculous multiplication of the
provision which he alone had prudentiy
provided.
while studying the incident have beer
wondering too what the result would have
been il he had been n thoughtlPss all tie
rest, and in the excitement OF the hou. and
the occasion started of with the rushing
crowd without his provision. l mast con
fes~ also TO a feeling OF regret tha: the
cvan.eliSts, or someone OF them, have no.
given IL glimpse into his after life. How
ever, we are at liberty to draw on our imagi.
nation as TO his subsequent career and
picture to ourselves how, perhaps, as he be-
came a true ana faithful disciple of the Mas
ter he. for years and years after, would
Tecite the wondrous tale.
"While this young lads name is not
recorded nor any llss mt thrown on his gItef
in the Gospel narrative, we are glad that
John records the fact that it as he who had
the fOrethought and prudence to provide
that which our Savior not only aumented
into an abundant feast for the hungry multi
tude, but n feast which was turned by Him
into q sacrament. After all the immortaliz-
ing of names is not of such moment as the
immOTtaiiZing of deeds.
The main lessons of the miracle, which
forms the setting and the surroundings of
this little and all but obscured gem
and which john alone brings to
light, have often been pointed out
and enforced; nor can they be
presented too often or enforced too
Strongly. But it has occurred to me that the
conduct of this young lad is worthy of
some notice-that it suggests lessons to
which we would all do well to take heed,
and perhaps the most important of these
lessons is this. viz. the Importance of pro-
viding emergencies. They are occurring
constantly in our lives and experiences. 1t
is very evident that this boy was both
thoughtful and prudent. He anticipated
possibilities"
Continuing his remarks in the same train
of thought, DR. sutherland concluded with:
TO fail to win the prizes of earth that were
fairly and honorably within ones reach is q
misfortune truly, but an infinitely greater
misfortune it is to fuil through indifference
or carelessness to win the prizes of Heaven
nay, more, 1t is u crime as well as misfor-
tune

LATE MOVES OF THE SALVATION ARMY

At the Walurba Presbyterian Church,
Wall station, Yesterday afternoon the
Pennsylvania Railroad branch of the
Young Mems Christian Association cele-
brated its ninth anniversary. General Sec
retary NJ. W. Calender was not prepared
for the large crowd of people who came
from Pittsburg and overfowed the church
from the aisles to the gallery As a result
o. the large influx a great deal of diplo-
macy had to be exercised by the ushers so
that all of the visitors could be accommo-
dated.
The exercises, which began at 3:45 o'clock
and lasted until nearly 6, we're opened with
that old hymn, "All Hail the Power of
Jesus Name" Rev. J. NJ. Lesher then
read scriptural lesson from the 141 tn
Psalm, which was followed by feryent
prayer by Rev. W. B. Carr. Mr.. A. T.
Miller and his three little daughters sang
The Ransom of the Lord" and then came
the reading of the annual report by William
NJ. Mcintyre. After a hymn entitled
Throw Out the Life Line" had been sung
by the entire congregation Walker c.
Douglas, of Philadelphia, was introduced
to the assemblage.
To Mr.. Douglas fell the honor of deliver
ing the anniversary address. The speaker
confined himself to the grest and good
work that had been accomplished by estab-
fishing railroad branches to the Young
Mems Christian Association. He gave an
account of the work in its infancy, showed
the progress that had been made and
claimed that in tne near future Christian
Endeavor among railroad men would reach
far beyond the greatest expectations of the
present Nh. Douglas interspersed his re-
marks with several good anecdotes to illus
trate his talk and to make it more thor
ouEhly understood by his hearers. During
MIR. Douglas address the congregation one
moment gave way TO laughter and the next
moment they were in tears.
President Robinson, of the Central Asso-
citation, Robert Pitcairn and Mr.. Jeffreys
also spoke upon the subject of Christian work
among railroad men After the Doyology
had been sung the benediction was pro-
nounced by Rev. r. L. Hecksman and the
assemOlage dismissed.

DUTIEs OF THE HOUR.

Church Last Night.


Church Last Night.
Rev. W. P. Warner, pastor of the Trinity
NJ E. Church, preached his annual Thanks
giving sermon last night to the members of
the Mystic Chain, who were present in
body. The subject chosen was the Duties
of the Hour" Taking for his text Psalms
1911, 81 will offer Thanksgiving, etc., DR..
Warmer dwelt upon the splended achieve
ments and possibilities of the age, and gave
some attention to the social problem. He is
greatly in favor of organization.
Among other things Rev. Mr.. Warner said:
Human life is progressive. and this
century has marked an era of progress.
unparalleled in history. The latest evil
dence of the progress of intellect and cul-
ture in America is evinced in our peaceful
attitude toward the world. Diplomacy is
taking the place of warfare and we are
coming to recognize the truer principles
which lie at the foundation OF perfect gov
eminent. Great results can always best be
accomplished by combined and organized
effort. Concentrated effort as directed by
great minds closely allied bent on the ac-
complishment of some great movement
cannot be otherwise than successful.
And where such combined effort has failed
in the accomplishment OF its ends it is due
to the fact that those organized efforts are
divided among themselves United we
stand. Divided we fall In the accom-
plishment of good it is the duty OF every
man to unite with a Christian church, that
his efforts may be abetted, and consequent
ly make greater impression"

COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. 2o-The South Caro-

tion of Superintendent of Education May
fields report, to be submitted to the Legis-
lature this week. This comes in the nature
of a sensation-one that will wake up a large
part of the people of the State. in whose af-
fections this historical institution is deeply
imbedded-and the prospect is that it will
provoke great fight. Superintendent May
fields report shows the advisability Of clos
ing the college and converting it into nor
NAL and industrial college for males and fe-
males, after the manner of the Peabody Nor
NAL College at Nashville.
His conclusion is reached from the fact
that the institution mas attracted probably
20 students during the last session. while a
very large and strong faculty IS being main
tanned and s35 900 is appropriated by the
State, For the last five years the college
has beeu factor in politics, and last year
the administration was curtailed in the

cultural and industrial features to Clemson
College, the institution recently established
for the farmers. A bill embodying the
Superintendent's suggestion will be intro
duced in the Legislature this week.

the embellishments were white lace of the

The hat was gray felt, with the same kind

will go somewhere with him, and it will be

If you have had a row and you both want to
make it up it affords a nice excuse. And If
you have had q row and you don't want to
make up anyhow, you get your ring back, or
the pin back or whatever 1t was and that's
q comfort And meanwhile of course you
have stood very little risk of its being given
