OPEN AIR MEETING.

About 1900 People Attended the Reunion
Service in Lawrenceville.
The different churches in Lawreneeville
have formed an association, and last night
a union meeting was held on the vacant lot
at the corner of Forty-fourth and Butler
streets The services were conducted by
Rev. DR.. Oldham, of the Forty-frst Street
NJ. E Church. Over 1000 people assembled,
and choir made up from the different
churches rendered excellent music. Thomas
Evans, a blind soloist, sang "Throw Out the
Life Line" and also led the choir.
Mr.. Benjamin Cattler was the first speaker
and he made short address, dealing with
the petty views of mankind and told
of Gods willingness to forgive and
forget. Rev. DR.. Stile, of the Forty-third
Street Presbyterian Church, was the next
speaker and made short address, and did
not take a text. He talked principally
about the young women in the
church, of what good they could
do for the cause, and called on them to
exert themselves in the Lords work. Rev.
DR.. Oldham closed the meeting with a
short address in which he spoke on the
good work the open air services were do
ing, and said how proud he was that 1000
persons in that district would lay aside all
thoughts of denomination, and come to-
gether to their God and his God.

BREADTH IN RELIGION.
How Christians Should View the
Events of Everyday Life.
HELP FOR HUMAN WEAKNESSES.
4 Lesson Drawn From Nathan's Accusation
of Hing David.
TOPICS TOUCHED UPON BY PASTORS

s'Christians should take broad as well as
narrow view of religion" said Rev. I. n.
Eaton during the course of his sermon at
the Oakland NJ. E Church yesterday morn
ing. "Man was meant to occupy various
walks in life, and he owes a duty to his
generation the same as he does TO God, !"
continued the minister.
"a Christian may be just as devout and
lust as consistent BY taking broad view of
religion as he can BY taking a narrow one.
In other words, liberal belief may be as
worthy when the believer is industrious as
narrow belief when the believer is
law or slothful or careless about worldly
matters A man who benefits his fellow
men is as high in Gods sight as is the min
lister who teaches His word, pro-
viding the mans heart is clean.
God did not put great
mass of people into the world and expect all
to follow one calling As the talent is, so
must the mind and energy be bent In the
Bible are the words, And after David had
served his generation at the will of God he
laid him down in peace and slept And so
1 believe should all men do. Slothfulness
and idleness are an abomination in Gods
sight, and while man keeps out of these
and other tainted paths his reward will
surely follow"

CONDITION OF FORGIVENESS
Christians Should Be Lenient and Mol Ac-
cuse Others of Faults.

Christians Should Be Lenient and Mol Ac-
cuse Others of Faults.
Rev. E S. Farrand, who preached in the
Mt Washington Baptist Church yesterday,
took his text from Samuel xii:7. The
subject of his discourse was, "'Nathan's Ac-
cusation." He began by giving an outline
of the interview between the prophet
latham and King David. Continuing, he
id, "Good men often fall into sin. The
characters in Biblical history have been
~ of grave faults. No one is so good
that he is not often ashamed of his conduct.
The world should not critisise these men
too harsnly. We get great consultations, as
Christians, knowing that even the noblest
characters fell into sin.
Notwithstanding this, it never pays to
iaIl into evil ways. Jacob deceived his
father, and in turn was deceived by his
sons David broke up the peace and har-
mony of home, and in turn his home was
disturbed Whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap The bird with a
broken wing never scars so b gh again.
God never leaves people alone in their
sins In a most striking way he sent
Nathan t. point out David's sin, and in
some fitting way be will always point out
the weaknesses of his people. This is evil
dence of Gods love and mercy. We
should ever consider this as a mark of his
favor.
I'VE often criticise others for the very
faults we have ourselves. David blamed
the rich man of the parable when he was
that man. Il is a very little and very un-
charitable thing to make it our business to
find out the faults of others No upright,
influential Christian will do this. We
should consider ourselves first, lest we be
taken in a fault. A good man will ac-
knowledge his sin when it is pointed out.
No sooner had Nathan made known David's
sin than the accused hung his head in
shame. He was truly repentant. In the
dust of humiliation he ponrs forth that
Fiftv-6rst Penitential Psalm. True re-
pentance is not feeling sorry for sin for be-
ing found out, but in open confession and
turning away from evil.
"If we confess our sins, we will be for
given. When David acknowledged his sin,
Nathan said, THE Lord hath also put away
thy sim One of the greatest facts for this
sinful world, is that the Lord is lenient
Without this, there would be no CON-
munion with Christ and no hope for an
everlasting life. The condition of forgive
ness is confession. IF We confess our sins,
he is faithful and Just to forgive us, and
we can be washed whittier than snow in the
blood OF the Lamb ,"

LARGEST LAKE BOATS,
The Wheeler Ship Company VIII Build
Two Monster Vessels.

The Wheeler Ship Company VIII Build
Two Monster Vessels
F. II. Gilbert, manager of the Wheeler
Shipyard at Bay City, Mich, was at the
Schlosser yesterday. His company has
completed five lighthouse vessels for the
Government, and he had been in Washing
ton turning them over to the Secretary of
the Navy. Mr.. Gilbert stopped here to see
Willis Morse at the Schlosser He paid a
visit to the Cramps in Philadelphia, and
inspected the Columbia, better known as
the pirate No. II He thinks it is won-
derful boat, and is capable of doing great
deal of damage.
When Mr. Gilbert reaches home he will
begin on Tuesday to make the keels for the
two largest vessels afoat on fresh water in
the world One will be built for Avery,
the other for the Spaulding estate, and both
will be used in the lake grain and iron
trade, to ply between Cleveland and Du-
luth. They will be 395 feet long on deck,
$40 feet length of keel, As feet beam aud 26
feet depth of hold. This is three feet
deeper and wider and 60 feet longer than
the largest boat now on the lakes. Mr..
Gilbert says they will be as big as the av-
erage ocean steamer

HELP FOR HUMAN WEAKNESS.
The Lord VIII Aid Those Who Put Their
Trust in Him.


Trust in Him.
Rev G. T. Street, pastor of the Mt
Washington Baptist Church, exchanged
pulpits with Rev. E S. Farrand, of the
Mt Washington Presbyterian Church, yes
terday The subject Of his discourse was
especial Comforts for Special People" and
he took his text from Cor, N:13.
After referring to Paul's aff1iction, which
was constant source of trouble and weak
ness, he said: 'As he does not tell us what
1t was. we do not know its character, but
the object was no doubt, to keep human
weakness in allowance. 1t was Gods plan.
He works with broken reeds; men with
whom he can do something. God loves to
couple strength with weakness, but the
weakness must be conscious weakness
There is a comforting assurance that our
temptations and trials are common. We
all have something that goes with US and
stavs by us, that in real sense becomes
thorn in the flesh. What soul that does not
know its own bitterness? What social
status that does not have its jealousies, its
chickering's?
THAT God will make an escape for us
from our temptations and trials, the Script
ures declare, assuring us that temptation,
or rather the occasions of temptation, re-
temptations are many. One is contentment
Paul had seen much of lite, and had learned
to be satisfied in whatever condition he was
placed. Another is learning, not in
the sense of scholarship, but along
the line of knowing oneself 1t is a
good thing to know the vulnerable points
in ones character. There is also the escape
of avoiding temptations We cannot avoid
all weaknesses, but it is useless to pray lead
US not into temptation and then go directly
into company and associations, where we
are sure evils will entrap US.
''The limitations to the effectual, fervent
PRAYER OF a good man are evident. Three
times Paul besought the Lord concerning
his affiiction and the Lord was satisfied in
saying, thy grace is sufficient So will it be
in our experience. II the impediment to
usefulness remains with us, we have the
comfort and assurance that the Lords grace
will be our sufficiency. The secret of
noble, heroic, useful, and happy life is in
Pauls paradox: When am weak, then am
1 strong."'

IMPROVING A PLANE.
Thirty Thousand Dollars Spent on the
Castle Shannon Incline.
AVOIDING THE OLD TUNNEL.
New Rolling Stock Has Been Purchased
for the Railroad.
THE WORK VERY NEARLY COMPLETED

The work of reconstructing the Castle
Shannon Incline Plane is about completed.
The track and grade has been tested, and
everything found to be satisfactory. With
in 10 days cars will be running over the
new division extending to Allentown.
This will do away with the old tunnel
through which sll the cars had to pass,
coming from the Castle Shannon Railroad.
This change will also do away with the
halfway station that has always been q
constant source of trouble to the road.
The road as it will be hereafter used,
besides the incline from Carson street to
Bailey avenue, includes an incline to
Allentown, where it connects with the rail-
road running to the Castle Shannon coal
mines.
The change was made necessary from the
press of passenger traffic and poor facilities
in handling them. The improvements cost
cars from the railroad near Allentown will
be run directly to the plane No. 2, and
brought to the Bailey avenue station. At
this place direct connections will be made
with plane No. which runs to Carson street.
This will necessitate no change in motive
power and will be a great saving
in time Formerly the cars were brought
around through the tunnel and the transfer
made at the halfway station. The tunnel
will hereafter be used only for the coal cars,
while nothing but passengers will be taken
over plane No 2.
Two new locomotives have been bought.
This will allow two to be held in reserve,
while the others will be kept in use. Three
new passenger coaches have been ordered
and will be pressed into service at once.
Will Be Finished in a Few Days.
Superintendent Rodgers was seen yes
terday, and in speaking of the proposed
change, said: 'The work of extending the
incline will be completed within day or
two, and it will be only few days before
the new line is in working order. With
this accomplished the passenger trade
from Beltzhoover and Allentown will be
chiefly handled by this line. Of this
1 feel certain, because it is direct line be-
tween the city and them. What hindered
our work before was the tunnel, which was
three-fourths of mile long. 1t could not
be properly arranged and was great draw
back.
''This reconstruction of the road is ex-
citing some comment among the stockhold-
ers, and constant inquiry is being made
after shares The capital stock of the
company is S4s1, 900 and 5000, 900 more of
stocks have been. authorized, but all
of this has not yet been issued.
One year ago the stock was quoted at 8,
now it is ~. The outlook is bright and 1
am satisfied with the work As to the in
creasing of the stock, I do not think it will
be done, at least the directors at their last
meeting did nothing in that direction

IN THE sIsTERsvILLE FIELD,
Mr.. Carr Says the Territory Is Undevelope
but Is PromisiD1

Mr.. Carr Says the Territory Is Undeveloped,
but Is Promising.
George B. Carr, of Titusville, registered
at the st. James last evening. He is inter-
ested in the Sistersville oil field He thinks
it will make good oil section. He advised
the Standard to put in pipe line
with a capacity of $4,000 barrels a
week. The managers laughed at the
idea, but lately they provided
for 20, 0O6 barrels. The capacity Of the ter
ritory st present is from 1900 to 5000 bar
rels per week. The oil comes from wells
drilled in the town lots. The valuable land
is held in large blocks by men who are
waiting for the price of oil to increase be-
fore they commence to drill Mr.. Carr
thinks if the field were developed the out
put would be about $4,000 barrels a week.
About 100 wells have been put down, and
plenty of water is struck. The gas supply,
however, is large, and forces the water out
of the wells.
Sistersville has been local option town
for so years. The county has Republican
majority of 200 The oil men have petit
toned for license, but the commissioners are
afraid if it is granted it will make the
county Democratic. The oil men, if they
would register and vote in the county. could
keep it in the Republican column, but the
politicians are afraid to take the chances.
Mr.. Carr states that in many sections of
West Virginia the people are 150 years be-
hind the times. They are ignorant, and cul-
tivate only enough ground to keep them.

A drummer stopping at the Anderson,
who has played numerous jokes on his fel.
lows, had the tables turned on him in Q
way the other day that made him furious.
He was mad enough to commit murder, but
all he could do was to grin and bear it A
party of commercial men were coming to
Pittsburg, and John Smith, the joker, this
name will answer the purpose, was in the
crowd. They sat in the smoker swapping
stories, but early in the evening Smith CON-
planned of being tired and went to his
berth. He is short man, not much more
than feet high, quite youthful in appear
ance but an old stager on the road.
At Harrisburg woman weighing about
200 pounds or more got on the train and
wanted a lower berth. The conductor
hadn't one and she said she was too heavy
to climb into an upper. The Pullman man
agreed with her. but he was in quandry.
Finally he stated the case to the party in
the smoking room with view of e1chang-
ing an upper for q lower. One of the
drumnsrs went into the car to see the lady.
Sizing her up, he said: 81 am sorry,
madam, but nv little son is asleep in
lower berth. He is quiet child, and if
you have no objections, you can sleep with
him.
She thanked him, and accepted the offer.
The berth in which "Shorty" Smith was
asleep was pointed out The old lady pro-
ceeded to arrange her toilet for the night
when Smith awoke. He was startled at
first, and said there must be a mistake.

piled, patting him on the head
"Your pap says it's all right"
Smith jumped out of the berth with
bound, and was going to wipe up the car
floor with the fellows in the smoking apart
ment, but 1t was no use. They roa-ed at
his predicament The innocent old lady
was no wiser, and she slept peacefully in
the berth until the next morning. Smith
was so mad that he went forward into q
coach and sat up all night
