Brooklyn Rapid Transit seemed inclined
10 repeat its decline again yesterday morn
ing, but later in the day it was one of the
strongest stocks on the list. The bear story
that a receiver is TO be appointed for the
company is denied absolutely by officers OF
the company, as was stated yesterday in this

that the concern has no floating debt, is
meeting all OF its obligations promptly,
has a good cash surplus in the treasury,
and is increasing its gross earnings at the
rate of nearly 100000 monthly.

Yesterday was practically Lutheran
Day in the churches. Owing to the
Observation-Disclosures here of the
Pittsburgh synod OF the Evangelical
Lutheran church, which concludes TO-
day, there were many ministers of this
denomination In the city over Sunday,
and they flled number Of local pull
pits for one or both Of the days SER
vices. The mlnlsterial delegates to the
synod are a hne looking body of men,
and their dIscourses were mastery ef-
forts.
The evening service at the English
Lutheran church, in which the synod is
meeting. attracted congregation last
night that filed every pew. It was
presided over by Rev. John weidley, of
pittsburgh, president of the synod, and
the sermon was delivered by Rev. j.
w. Schwartz. D. D., ofWorthlngton, Pa.
A very fne musical programme was
rendered by the choir, under the de
recrlon of Mrs Herbert RiheldnnfeF. A
solo was sung by sir. Charles Brand.
accompanied by Miss Annie Israel, or
ganist, and Mr.. John Brockhurdt, viO-
nnlst.
DR.. Schwartz's discourse was dog
matlcal one. the text being taken from
the Corinthians. IA wise master
builder" was his theme. The founda-
ton and the house were concerned In
his theme, he said. In theological
sense, foundation was one by whica
the theology should rise or fall. Care
fui, early training Of the children was
laying good foundation. A wise mas
ter-builder would also preach to all
men. for the gospel was not 70 be
preached only to children.
Continuing, DR.. Schwartz said there
was a prevalent idea thai 1t matteFeth
not wha- man believed, provided he
lived right. There were some doc
triues man must know, and 1t
did matter what man thought and be-
lleyed. Speaking o. season for lay
ing foundations, DR.. Schwartz said the
essential truths of the gospel should be
taught all the time. In this age the
foundations Of the faith were assailed
from within and without the church. in
which connection the speaker lnstanced
heresles laugh. In certain divinity
schools. So the need OF wise MASTER
builders. in other words, a good Chris
uan ministry. active at all times in
laying the foundations and the super
structure.
The superstructure pertained to the
doctrines; the foundation, the funda-
mental truths. The need OF a symmet-
rIcal Christian character was dwelt
ON effectively by DR.. Schwartz. whose
logical and able sermon was interest
lngly listened to. It was thoughtful
and suggestive. and especially appro-
pirate as a synodical address, and to
those Just entering the ministry.
