NOT GENUINE RFPEKTANcF.

The sudden conversion of our platitudinous
President 10 a conciliatory policy toward
members Of Congress has moIe the appear
ance of an attack of nervous fear that we
are on the verge of financial panic than
genuine political death-bed repentance. Had
this policy been pursued at the outset of his
administration, most of our present trouble
might have been ayerted.
President Cleveland's first mistake in not
calling an early session of Congress 10 revise
the tariff and his natural egotistical obstinacy
has brought on a series of disasters that
could have been avoided. His refusal TO
act impartially and promptly on the recon-
mendations of Senators and Represen-
tatiyes made active enemies of disap-
pointed office-seekers and created dissen-
sions among Democrats in Congress The
delay in the passage of the tariff bill added to
the confusion and prevented capital from
seeking investment on account of disturbed
prices and conditions. Mills and factories
became apprehensiye. stopped work. and
threw hundreds of thousands out of employ
ment Hard times resulted and rioting and
suffering ensued. Money, which only circu-
lates freely when business is good, became
scarce, and people generally were frightened
at the gloomy aspect OF affairs. wave of
distrust and discomfort seemed to roll over
the country
The tariff bill finally became law. but too
late TO allow conditions 10 adjust themselves
to the new order OF affairs. Imports natar-
ally decreased, owing to the dull state of
lures The demand for export gold exceeded
the amount derived from import customs.
and bonds were sold to make up the de-
iciency. In less than TWO years the splendid
prosperity o. a great nation was sacrificed to
the stubborn obstinacy OF one man. and dur
ing the growth Of this public calamity that
man wasted much of his time in hunting and
fishing.
The decline Of prosperity and the approach
OF the present crisis had its origin in Presi-
dent Clevelands failure TO call an early ses-
SION of Congress TO revise the tariff Had he
acted promptly and with discretion at the be-
ginning Of his adm ,nistration there would
have been no protracted delay. no long sGs-
pension of business. 10 disastrous wait for
the general public, and no period OF want
and suffering for working people. Condi-
tions would quickly have adjusted themselves
and business would have gone on without
serious interruption. President Cleveland
was warned of his mistake and implored to
cali Congress together Immediately after his
Inauguration, but he refused on the ground
that he did not want an army OF office-seek-
ers hanging around while Congress was in
session.
his refusal gave time to get rid OF the
ofiiee-seekers, but in their stead came Coxey's
army when Congress did assemble, and un-
less the advice Of cautious. able men is fol-
lowed in the present emergency President
Cleveland will soon have the history OF an
other financial panic 10 record or his politi-
cal tombstone

MILES CHURCH DEDICATED.
Bishop Williams Preached the Sermon
Special Music Rendered.

Bishop Williams Preached the Sermon
Special Music Rendered.
The formal dedicatory exercises of Miles
Colored NJ. Z. Church occurred yesterday.
Bishop S. NJ. Williams 1.-THE C. NJ E. Church
preached the dedication sermon at IL o'clock:
Rev. Dr. Wallace, of Philadelphia occupied
the pulpit at $3.50 in the afternoon, and the
evening discourse was by Rev. DIR. G. G..
Jones, of this city
The church was well filled and special
music for the occasion wac rendered at each
service by the Miles Memorial choir
The subject OF Bishop Williams sermon
was THE church" and his remarks were
based upon the eighteenth verse of the six
teenth chapter of Matthew-.'And thou art
Peter, and upon this rock will build Ny
church. and the gates of hell shall not pre-
vail against it,
Among other things the speaker said: in
all ages of the world. In some form best suited
to the then existing conditions, God has had
church. Through this church He has made
known TO the world the things concerning Its
salvation. The records of Christian expert
ence are most blessed treasures, but mono
ever have or ever will reach US by any other
source except through the church God
never speaks to the world save it be through
the church. Through it He proposed to save
the world and there Is no other purpose in
the Divine mind. We must believe in Christ.
accept His teaching, and openly confess Him
before the world before we can hope for the
joys OF His salvation. That is what Peter did
and it was upon the faith of that man, as the
leading principle, that Christ founded His
church.
There is no such thing as a church with
out faith. To be part OF this church proper
We must have that spark of faith that is the
result of an inborn belief and trust in the
power OF God through Christ to cleanse from
all iniquity.

viding or caring for. The members of the
church should be like stockholders in great

ceiye dividends in bright and everlasting
hereafter. There ara habituai absentees from

person from the theater. II reception or any
other entertainment would be good and rea-
sonable but are such the real causes?
The secret is in the heart, for whore ones
pleasure lies there will be found his heart.
The text, he said. does not need much ex-
planation, but it needs some application.
Let us apply it to ourselves.
In closing, DIR. Sunderland referred to
those who seemed to be good and Christian
like, but not having n turn for active, practi-
cal pety. There are numbers OF these on
the outside who are really better than some
on the inside
He then referred to the work and standing
OF all the societies connected with the church,
and said it was a matter of congratulation
that they were all in such prosperous coa-

and stone, arehitectually planned and me-
chanically constructed, do not constitute a
church These are simply some of the outer
requisites operating with the organized
forces OF the Divine Lord to consummate His
plan of the world salvation.
1.-The church is invisible in its makeup and
its constituency. We cannot see our relation
TO the church. We must feel it. The church
is the agency OF the living God for the distri-
button to the world of knowledge concerning
His great plan of salvation, and if the mem
bers OF the church are true Christians they
are the agents by which this knowledge is
disseminated. The church will never ce1se
to exist; it will live as long as the world
stands and its purpose will always be the
same'

yE ARE THE SALT OF TIE EARTH.
Dr. Stakely's Sermon on the Condiments
of Christian Character.

III. DldkGtN oCItnoH On IHS
of Christian Character.
The Rev. DIR. Stakely, pastor OF the First
Baptist Church spoke interestingly to the Y.
NJ. c. A. yesterday afternoon on the words of
The Saviour: ''Ye are the salt OF the earth. -
DR.. Stakeiy treated the text in its figuratiye
sense, the salt being the Christian people,
and the earth, literally, the boundary Of their
mission field. He showed that this text was
the one in which Christ prengured the later
commission to the apostles to so forth and
preach the Gospel TO all nations.
In the text Christ told the people what they
were expected TO do for others-in other
words. OF their lie work, the idea being that
service should be done before reward could
be expected. The salt of salvation had its
equivalents in meaning in the physical uses
OF the material. Considered as grace ii re
moves the unsayory in the moral and spiritual
world, and there could be no higher mission
for man than the use of this salt or grace
for the hetterment and elevation of humanity.
Ihe salt OF Christianity is Il purifier. 1t
has never been the cause of evil. Its mission
is 70 destroy the germs of vice and keep free
from taint the life Of the individual and the
community
Gods people are to preserve the world from
destruction, for the progress, the very exist
ence of the world are predcated on the as
sumption that Christian men and women shall
live up TO the teaching of the Christian re-
ligion.
The field of work for the modern disciple
OF Christ is the earth itself. Our religion is
no longer impressed upon the world by
miracles, but by the hard and constant work
OF everyday people.
Cod he said, in conclusion, "did not
confer upon the angels the honor Of saving
the world. He could have written salvation
in the beams of the morning sun, so that all
men might see it and be glad. He could
have penciled it in the leaves of the forest;
He could have woven it in the carpet of the
earth; He could have caroled it in the songs
of the birds. or whispered it in the flying
winds. or given the stars a voice that
all nations might hear; He could have con-
stituted the angelic host, the eyanselists of
His Kingdom, and sent them TO declare the
glad tidings, but He availed himself not OF
all these. and gave the glory of the divine
commission TO the disciples OF His Son; to
you. to me. and to all Christian people
Let US then be true to our trust, for ii we
are faithful we can claim the promise made in
the trust committed to us in the words, 'Ye are
the salt OF the earth.'"

ALorSCOLDING SERMON"
DR.. Sunderland Reminds His Hearers of
Sins of Omission and Commission

Once every year Rev. Byron Sunderland,
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, de-
livers what is known as q ''scolding sermon, y
which is a review or reminder, more or less
gentle, of the sins OF omission and commits
sion committed during the year.
The morning services yesterday was the
time selected for this sermon and the church
was crowded to overfiowing with people to
hear it. DR.. Sunderland took for his text
Paul j, and Timothy v:S-"He who has neg
lected to provide for his own has denied the
faith, and is worse than an infidel.'
In discussing this text DR.. Sunderland
made it sharply applicable TO the every day
relations and duty of man to God and the
church. He started with reference to the
small attendance at the Evangelical Alliance
meetings last week, and the pastors of the
several churches who did not actively parti-
cipate In these meetings had to bear the
blame. The opinions held by some regard
ing the'work and support OF the church, he
said, were remarkable
