CAUSE OF ADIRONDACK FIRES.
FiddIe-Butt Stenlers and the Torches
They Leave Behind.
(Erom the Philadelphia Record. J


There is reason why the Adirondack
forest fires should become more destructive
each succeeding year. While spruce is used
for various purposes, 1t is valued chiefly
as material for the manufacture of sound
ing boards for all kinds of musical instru-
ments.
That part of the spruce tree which is
free from branches, extending to from
twenty to thirty feet above the ground, is
known as fiddle butt. AS there are no
branches in that part of the trunk there
are no knots, and when the lumber is saw
ed it presents a smooth surface-an essen
tial in the making of sounding boards.
The stealing OF fiddle-b butts is carried on
as a regular industry by hundreds Of men
who own small farms on the outer edges
of the forests. These men go into the
woods in winter and cut down thousands
of great spruce trees. They take from
each tree only the base log, which they
sell at the nearest sawmill, allowing the
remainder of the tree to remain where it
falls The branches become dry as tinder
in time, and when fire is started by a
careless hunter or woodsman, they furnish
an abundance Of fuel for the spread of the
confagration.
Many efforts have been made to punish
the fiddle-butt stealers, but It Is fact that
no jury has ever gotten together that would
bring in verdict of guilty. 1t is claimed.
with much evidence of truth, that jury
has never been selected in that section that
did not have fiddle-butt stealer among
it's members.

MEANING OF cHRIsT's DEATH.
Explained in Sermon by Rev. j. A.
Fair. Id. Id.

Explained in n Sermon by Rev. j. A.
Fair, ID. Id.
The Central Presbyterian Church threw
open its doors yesterday for the first time
in several weeks. The church has been
undergoing repairs for some time past.
New carpets have been laid, and the pull
pit made more attractive. The sermon was
preached by Rev. j. A. Fair, d. D., of Sa-
vannah, Ga. DR.. Fair took his text from
John Ml:2l: Sir, we would see Jesus"
DR.. Fair said:
This text brings US three thoughts the
first OF which is the vicarious nature of
the death of Christ. This ! believe TO he
the keynote of the conversation between
Christ and the men of Athens. Vicarious
means, delegated. The Pope calls himself
the vicar of the world, the representative
of st. Peter on earth. He reigns materially
instead OF Christ, who reigns spiritually,
according to Catholic theology. In illus
trating the character of this phrase We may
turn to grain of wheat. This grain is
placed in the ground and dies 1t must die
before ii can bear fruit. Therefore in
Christ's death We see that instead of the
earth dying out from its sinfulness and
corruption Christ should die, and in
dying his gospel should live through
his disciples, and every man should be made
acquainted WIN MS lie and teachings
through them. There was deep, far
reaching ulterior significance in that death,
which swept away the wall between God
and man and opened for him the way to
the gates of paradise, never to be closed.
Therefore, the death of Christ was no ac-
cident, but the result OF long deliberation.
so the Saviour dies as the grain of
wheat dies, and rises again as the harvest
Life conditions with death; death is the
beginning of life. Again We can turn to
the wheat for illustration. 1t must needs
be that the grain should die and decay
in order that We can have life. When the
grain is harvested We get from il life love-
hope, ambition, happiness; yet it is neces-
sary for the grain to die before these things
can be accomplished. Therefore, life con-
ditions with death TO give life. The life of
Christ conditioned with death to give life
TO the world, and consequently, as the
death of the grain is the beginning of the
life of the harvest so the death of Christ
was the beginning of the life of the world.
Christ's death was necessity. because it
was an example and il placed before the
eyes of men the high, noble nature of the
Saviour. The world at that time was CON-
batting with itself. with no higher prin-
ciple than the greed of gain. The death
of Christ was a necessity TO show the world
| what the force Of the Christian religion
was.

Chief Croker is expressing satisfaction with the
automobile he is experimenting with to displace
the horse and buggy that has taken him and his
predecessors to fires hitherto And there can be
no doubt that sooner or later seif-propeiling en-
gines will take the places of those now pulled
by horses But the city will lose of its
picturesque sights when this time comes Three
splendid horses tearing through the streets with
laundering hoofs, Changing bells, and every nerve
Of driver and horses straining is inspiring. They
really do not go so very fast-no faster than any
ordinary bicycler can follow. But there is a
fascination about the great moving mass of
machinery and animals that will be sadly missed
when the fire engine becomes as merely mechani-
cal as the trolley car.

SERVICE OF PRAYER AND SONG.
First of n Series of Special Y. NJ. c. A.
Meetings.

In the parlors of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association there was held yesterday
afternoon the first of series of four spe-
cial Sunday afternoon meetings of prayer
for the different branches of the work of
that institution. The meeting was led by
H. B. F. mcfarland, chairman of the COM
mittee on religious work The parlors were
filled to their full capacity and the meeting
was characterized by solemn earnestness,
and fervent prayers and songs of praise
followed the recital by the leader of the
progress made by the association, espe-
cially within the past half year.
Mr.. Macfarland emphasized the impor-
tance of spiritual work. 1t was the very
foundation rock on which the association
was built, and the earnestness and zeal
in religious matters Of those who have
had the interest of the association at heart
was declared by the 81 ker to be the main
reason why such phenomenal progress had
been made. There are about 900 of the
1,400 members of the association who are
members of the different churches OF the
city, or professed Christians, and it is the
desire of the committee on religious work
that these shall be active in every sense
of the word. so as to exert a Christianizing
influence over the members of the asso-
citation who are attracted only by the splen-
did educational advantages or athletic de-
partment of the institution. The religious
work of the association has kept in the
lead in the rapid growth of the last few
months, and although it was stated there
was great cause for rejoicing at the prog
ress made in material things, there was
additional cause, for thanksgiving and
prayer for the spiritual blessings which
have been made manifest.

work purpose to make religious meetings

definite during the coming months The

CHRIST AND MOSES.

COntrasted by Rev. s. ID. AldersOn mt
the First Presbyterian Church.
Services were held in the First Presby
terian Church yesterday for thee first time
since the heated season began. The pulpit
was occupied by Rev. S. B. Anderson, D.
D., of Portsmouth Ohio. The subject of
his discourse was THE Contrast of Moses
and Christ" and his text was found in
Hebrews i:3
After successive improvements Ccn-
tinued through centuries said Mr.. Alder
son, Westminster Abbey was finally COM
pleted with the exception of its towers,
which We're finished by that greatest archi
tect, Sir Charles Wren, many years later.
Those who have visited this renowned edi-
flee tell us that the view of the
massive towers, their modern architecture
overlooking the work of past centuries,
is one OF the most inspiring sights in the
world. Our text suggests the figure or
Gods spiritual house undergoing construc-
tion and repair for many centuries, in
which both Moses and Christ had a part.
OF these two men, Christ is the more
distinguished. He came last, and is more
widely known. His work is seen on top
of the other mans work in the towers
which overlook the labors of the past.
Moses toiled at the foundation, Christ at
the top. For what did Moses stand? What
did he build? He was pre- eminentiy
law giver. The old Jewish common law
is monument to his genius. We have
drifted far away from many of the statutes
which he ordained, and yet there is
growing opinion that if We would get back
to some of the things he commanded it
would lift our national life.
While Moses succeeded in working a
humanitarian miracle, in making the Jew
unique individual, Jesus Christ has sue
ceeded in establishing what is destined
TO become universal kingdom. His power
is not limited by sectional lines. His mes
sages are not unto the elect only. His
cross does not stand for the salvation of
one section OF humanity; but he gives
his love to all, sheds his blood for sin
wherever ii abounds. and opens the sates
of heaven so wide that men can enter
from the north and south, the east and
west. Jesus is more widely known and
admired than Moses, has set on foot larger
reforms, Is operating a thousand times
more machinery, handles world problems
with wisdom that is sublime, and is
unifying races with a genius that is un-
paralieled. All the peace conferences will
not overtake his gospel in teaching men
TO keep their swords in the powshares
and their spears in the pruning hooks
The work of Moses was a necessary
preliminary to the work of the Gospel
Men needed TO be convinced of the failure
or legal righteousness before they would
accept of a free salvation. Some day the
followers OF Moses will surely become the
followers of Christ The separation is for
a purpose and only for a season. In
heaven all will join in the singing OF Moses
and the Lamb The Jews will praise
Christ. The Christians will give all honor
to Moses"

There is not any sanctity or mystery
