quent men, for the sake of mere ora
ance of the Holy Spirit in making their
choice. The call should come from the
Spirit in answer to prayer, rather than
from human selection. Singing, also,
was criticised in the same vein.
Very First Considcra tion.
The first consideration should be the
words of praise and the tendency of
quartette and other singers who relied
solely on rendering the music was to
be deplored, as it was impossible in
such a manner to sing with the under
standing. The old-fashioned custom of

was conducive to more lasting and
permanent good. 1t was not essential
that French and Italian compositions
should be imported into American
churches, yet how many people regar1-

Preaching, praying and singing
should be matters of earnest considera-
tion and should be done in spirit and
truth. How to apply these truths was
answered by Paul in his epistle to the
Romans. The reverend gentleman con-
cluded his able sermon by pointing out
how the truths of Scripture could be
applied and how people can worship
in truth and spirit by relying upon
the Holy Spirit entirely and absolutely

REV. NJ. III. MILLS SERMON.
Delivered in 81. DaVid's Episcopal
Church.


Rev. M. II. MIL yesterday morning
preached an appropriate sermon to a
large congregation at st. David's
church, basing his theme on Palm
Sunday" his text being Mathew, xvii:
%: What then shall [ do with Jesus,
which is called Christ" AS a prelude
to his sermon he explained the occasion
which brought the persons referred to
in the text, together, and Pontius Pi-
late's conduct in connection with the
crucifying of Christ from which he sug-
gested many thoughts appropriate to
the day. During his sermon he said:
Even in our Christian America there
are to be found in our Christian COM
munity a large number of men and wo-
men, who go about their different kind
of employment from day to day, one
trying to win riches, another one to
achieve fame. another seeking pleasure;
they all may be successful in their vari-
Gus pursuits and crafty the heights
of their ambition. but If they stop here
will they be satisfied? Does money and
fame and worldly pleasure bring true
contentment? Too often we hear the
sad confession: II have only lived for
this world. and therefore can have no
hope for the next" People who are
striving merely for material success,
who deem it sufficient to simply lead
honest and moral lives, are not only de-
prving themselves of the highest bless
ings attainable by man, but in addi-
tion, evidently must rely upon their
own strength and wisdom, both for this
as well as for the other world.
viii Learn Their Mistake.
"If the Bible is true, these people GER
tainly will learn to their sorrow the
mistake of lifetime. Should you ask
them now why they have not accepted
him as their savior or others who pro-
fess his name, why their lives are not
more in accord with his teachings, like
PLATE of old, they will try to excuse
themselves by shifting their own re-
sponsibility upon the shoulders Of
others.
"Our present life is a school of pro-
ba ton, therefore the most vital ques-
tion of your life is What are you do
ing with Jesus?" Your manhood and
your life is at stake, AID Almighty God
will hold every one OF us responsible
for the decision we make"
The reverend gentleman in conclu
sion made a strong appeal to his con-
gregation to shape their lives to prepare
for life eternal.

SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY.
Celebrated by Rev. +. J. Collins at Scran
ton Street Church.

ION street Church.
special and interesting services were
held at the First Baptist church, Scran-
ton street. yesterday, 10 celebrate the
seventh anniversary of the pastorate Of
Rev. 7. j. Collins.
In the morning Mr.. Collins preached
the anniversary Sermon, selecting a
very appropriate theme. Spiritual
worship from John, iv, 23: But the
hour cometh, and now is, when the
true worshippers shall worship the
Father in spirit and in truth. for the
Father seeketh such to worship Him.
The object of the sermon was to point
out, that although o. review of the past
seven years, (Which was the perfect
numeral quoted in Scrpture.) was
satisfactory to the pastor and members
OF the church, the most important OBJ
Ject to be kept in view was the true
worship. Unreal worship was exempli-
fled by the Jews when they greet
Christ on his entry into Jerusalem on
Palm Sunday. When he made his tri-
umphal entrance to the city they strew
palms on the road and threw their gar
ments before him. beholding In Him a
Sicdt hHiS, btt lHe uHTedIlty OI tuelf
alteration was proved by their cruelty
ing Him. The same thought could be
applied to the outward condition of the
church during the past seven years,
during which he had been their pastor.
Evidence OF Progress.
The indications of progress were
tangible. As their pastor he had bap-
tiZed about PIG persons, and during the
period the membership had increased
from 70 to about 300. About SIG, 900 had
been raised for various church pur-
poses, n parsonage had been purchased
and all the outward expression tended
to show material progression. How
much had been'accomplished in true
and devout sense, eternity alone would
reveal.
Mr.. Collins then pointed out that the
text expressed that 1.-THE hour cometh
and now Isl when we must worship in
spirit and truth, and asked why in the
present time they should be more earn
est at present than in the past and ex-
planned in an interesting manner the
differences between the old and new
dispensat tions, and how the churches
should obey the call given in the text,
to worship in spirit.
People too often asked for ''elo-
quence" rather than the powers of the
Holy Spirit. Members of churches in
appointing pastors searched for elo-

WANT THOSE STEPS BADLY.
Hudson City Improvements League
After the Finance Board.

The Hudson County Improvement
League held a lively meeting in Groes-
chefs Hall, Beacon and Ocean avenues,
last evening, and expressed their deter
mination to inportune the Board OF
Finance until that body appropriates the
81, 500 authorized by the Legislature to
uild the steps at the foot of Laidlaw
avenue. The members are anxious that
the Financiers should set aside hat
amount before all the license money is
expended. A mass meeting of the prop
erty owners and citizens, of the Fourth
district will be held to night at Groes-
chefs Hall, to urge on the Finance
Board the necessity of granting the
amount for building the steps. Among
those who will address the citizens on
the subject are Assemblyman David H.
Cagney, Congressman Thomas McEwan,
and .Lahey. Surrogate James H. ONeil,
Alderman Dohrman, Secretary Buckley
and Counsellor F J stnhr, The meeting
definite action in the form of a resolu-
ton will be taken, and a committee sent
to the Board of Finance. The citizens
believe a great portion of the license
money comes from the Fourth district.
and they see no reason why they should
not receive the money for the steps;
Alderman DOhrman, who is a member
of the League. suggested that the Board
of Street and Water Commissioners be
requested to pave more streets with as
phal and macadam4 pavement. The i'm
provement of Palisade avenue lear Ho-
boken avenue has not yet been settled.
The committee is now rydng to arrange
which WINS the property. The advisa-
bility of paving one or two streets west
of Summit avenue, near st. PauPs ave
me to afford a good driveway to the
Boulevard, was Strongly discussed, but
no action was taken in the matter.
