'BR0IHERLY LOVE. "
Was the Theme Discussed By Ri. Rev.
Bishop Peterkin
In His Discourse at st. Lukes P. z.
Church Last Night-The Necessi-
ty for Christians to Make Direct,
Close, and Personal Efforts, was
Demonstrated - O.her Religious
Matters.

Right Rev. B. W. Peterkin Bishop Of the
Episcopal Diocese of West Virginia,
preached at ST. Matthew'S church in the
morning and a. the St Luke's church at
night. He preached to large congrega-
tions at both churches. In the evening,
St. Lukes church was completely filed.
The congregation listened attentlvey to
the Bishops practical and earnest address,
which apparently made deep impression.
1t contained many sensible and valuable
hints upon Christian work and fellow
ship Cain and Abel We're referred to as
the two representative men whose char
actcrs should be a lesson to all Chris
ians. He said the churches should ask
the question frequently where Is our
brother and impressed upon his hearers
the necessity for a greater interest in
the material and spiritual welfare of
others The church Is not so much our
field as our force with which to labor
among mankind. In this active work of
body as we'll as mind is the most con-
vinciD@ evidence of Christianity. The
church must seek how it can best invite
mon 10 come TO Chrlst-not only to invite.
hut to go out ana compel them TO come in.
As one Of the first requirements which
every successful Christian should have.
Bishop Petcrkn emphasized the import
auec Of loving God completely and loving
thy ueighbor as myself. We are all a
great family To care for our brother and
love our nciChhor as ourselves is one Of
the fundamental laws of Christianity. We
ought to cultivate regard for others and
"a sympathy for every individual who
crosses our path. We should not only
cultivate an interest and sympathy FOR
others bat should make our sympathy di-
rect. close and personal. Bishop Petcridn
stated that our failures i'm this life We're
frequently because we did not properly
note what was i'm our ncighbor. The call
of salvation is the voice of God asking
where is thy brothcr?' Ask not how
the masses generally are getting ON, but
where is thy brother and how is his ma
teria as we'll as his spiritual welfare. In
order TO win others to Christ it is not only
necdful 10 bestow our worldly substance,
but accompany it with deep sympathy
for life and an enthusiasm fer humanity.
With what we give and forgive TO man
kind IS the sympathy and love that gives
grace 90 the act. The Bishop urged the
necessity Of greater personal responsibility
and the graspiug of every opportunity.
Christianity can only be made the vit3i.z-
ing power. the light Of the world. the salt
of the earth. 10y personal effort. Love tiny
nciIhbor ass thvso.f but YOU cannot love
him I'm the mass GUS In the man.

FUNERAL OF cuAs. HESS
Took Place Yesterday Absurd &c
Reports in Circulation

Took Place Yesterdty -~orir Absurd &C
Reports in Circulation
The funeral of Charles Hess the
dairyman. who committed suicide Fir
day. took place yesterday afternoon
from his late residence at Stack Yard
Hollow 1t was largely attended. in
life Mr.. Hess was Of genial DISPOSE
ton. and his characteristic good ma
tre made him many friends.
Since the sad death of Mr.. Hess some
absurd reports have been in circulation
connecting him with the death OF
Henry Kiel a short time ago. These
rumors cannot have any foundation in
fact. and would not be publicly noticed
except for the reason that they have
spread rapidly and are credited by
many persons who do not stop to con-
slider the injustice they do the dead
man. but willingly accept these sensa-
tiOnal theories.
The report was started, and freely
discussed yesterday. that Kiel was shot
by Hess. and that remorse was the
motive for Hess self-destrUctiOn. Hess
rented a portion of Kiels farm. The
two we're close friends, and keil had
so much confidence in Hess that he
made a verbal agreement with him for
five years. Hess could have had no
motive in killing Kiel. Aside from
this fact. however, it can be shown that
Hess was in Wheeling when the crime
was committed.
Said ex-Sheriff Lewis Steenrod yes
terday: ct have heard these reports,
and they are ridiculous in the extreme.
Everybody knows that Kiel and Hess
were warm friends. On the afternoon
Kiel was shot. Hess was in the city
delivering milk on his route, and he
did not return until after Kie's
death
