Anniversary Of the Reformation Appro.
priately Celebrated at the Hickory.
Street Presbyterian Church.

The services yesterday at Hickory
Street Presbyterian church were of
specially interesting character. II was
the three hundred and seventy-ninth
anniversary OF the Reformation. Guth's
orchestra accompanied the choir at
morning and evening services, and the
music was very fine. Around the pulpit
row of flowers was arranged, and
gave the church beautiful appearance
Rev. William A. Nordt, the pastor,
preached in the morning on the Refor-
nation and his text was from the Acts.
Paul was prosecuted, because the Jews
claimed he preached a new doctrine.
The enemies of the Reformation say
that the founders of it preached a new
doctrine. Paul said. II believe Scrip
lures, try to have a good conscience
the Reformers. They brought no new
doctrines. They eXpounded the truths
of the Scriptures.
His evening sermon was along the
same line. The Reformation was a vic
tory of God. he said. and not human
accomplishment. The Reformers were
only instruments in His hands. The
Evangelical church is not a new church.
as some Of her enemies would try to
make believe. She stands for religious
liberty and the right of every person to
worship God according to the dictates
of his own conscience. Germany gave
to the world two things, the art of
printing, and the freedom of conscience.
| To the Reformation we are indebted
| for the word of God with Christ as our
mediator, and the only source Of right
eousness as the grace Of God. The con-
| gregation that attended the evening
service was SO large that chairs had to
| be placed in the center aisle back To
| the entrance.

PROVIDENCE.

The candidacy of John r. Farr for the
legislature is entitled to the fairest con-
sideration by the voters of the North
End. His splendid services in the past
have been of as much benefit to the peo-
pie here as to those of any other por-
tion of this legislative district or state.
For instance well-known North End
man said recently: 81 have six children
going to school. 1t used to cost me $50
year. but it costs me nothing now, as
result of Mr.. Fairs free book meas
ure." Hundreds Of families here enjoy
these benefits. The prestige that Mr..
Farr has gotten from his educational
measures and his extended experience
| will strengthen him for better service
in behalf of the people.
| North End voters should not forget
the fact that when the Oral School for
the Deaf was sorely in need of financial
| aid John r. Farr. in the session of '93.
| secured an appropriation OF S92.366 for
that valuable institution. This was the
! largest appropriation gnven an insti-
I tuition not entirely under state control
outside of the cities of Philadelphia and
| Pittsburg. 1t Is such service that the
people want in the legislative halls at
! Harrisburg.

A CONTEST OF PRINCIPLE.
From the Industrial News.

In our last issue We mentioned the per-
sonal qualifications of the Republican
nominee and told briefly Of Mr.. Connelrs
associations and interests in this valley.
We do net draw any personal compari-
sons between the two candidates; that Is
unnecessary; both gentlemen are well
known. This campaign is a contest be-
tween principles and the accomplishments
or characteristics OF any candidate for
office at Washington necessarily are a sec
ondary consideration. The voter who casts
his ballot for Mckinley and Hobart be-
cause he believes in the platform which
they stand upon, must certainly cast his
vote for William Connell, who is the local
exponent of those principles.
