AT SECOND PRESBYTERIAN.
Sermon by the Rev. w. T. Reber, of
Reyn OIdsvfIIe, Pm.

The Rev. w. II. Reber, OF Reynoldsville
Pa, occupied the pulpit at the Second
Presbyterian Church yesterday morning
The subject of his sermon was Danger of
Self-confidence or Overconhdence in Self
His text was Matthew XVI, 3l-35 His sub
Ject was derived from the actions OF the
disciple Peter when he told Jesus that
though all men shall be offended because
of Thee, yet will never be offended Jesus
said unto him. verify | say unto thee, that
this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt
deny me thrice.
Speaking of the actions of Peter in deny
ing Christ and of his seIf-confdence the
Rev. Reber said in part:
"On this occasion when Jesus went with
His disciples 10 Gethsemane Peter partici-
pated more than any of his disciples and
disciples in words OF love. Peters fnten-
tons were good and he was one Of the three
who were privileged to enter into the secret
confident. Too much OF anything is not
good and too much reliance in self is dan
gerous- Peter had overconfidence in self
Had he listened TO words Of advice he
might have escaped this overconfidence
After Jesus was betrayed by Judas,
Peter followed the crowd that led Jesus
Christ before the lord high priest and was
to death for believing in Christ
Peter sat without the palace and a
damsel came to him saying, Thou also
vast with Jesus of Galilee.' But he denied
before them ALL saying Know not what
you sayest.' And when he went out onto
the porch another maid saw him and said
unto them that were there, This fellow was
also with Jesus of Nazareth And again
he denied with oath, L do not know this
man. He was again accused of being with
Jesus and he cursed and swore that he did
not know the man.
Peter soon found himself in confidence
with those who were hostile TO Jesus Christ
underestimate others. 1t is better for us
to accept the old adage, Be sure you are
right and then go ahead. Had Peter
weighed the words OF those who warned
him he might have escaped. Many men are
going on in life now and not needing the
warning of God They are too confident of
themselves. Peter was sadly deficient in
moral courage and ignorant of himself We
need the knowledge of God. to know our
selves. Take heed lest you fall.
''The Proverbs tell US that He that
trusteth in his own heart is fool Fool
because he did not heed the word Of God
and experience OF others.
Some are willing to trust unworthy gods
more than the one who gave up His life
for us. No strength can justify fidelity un-
less we have absolute belief in Jesus Christ.
All promises must be made relying upon
Him for He is worthy of our trust. We
must profit by everything which Peter
failed to observe. Men may sometimes be
allowed to enter into the lowest depths
that God may instruct them. Peter fell
very low. but was uplifted. Let us profit
and not be overcOnfident In ourselves.

THE FOREIGN BOURsEs.
Increased Confidence i'm Germany, De-
spite Industrial Conditions.

BERLIN, Dec. Increased confidence
and further gains were noticeable on the
bourse during the last week. 1t was the
best week in many months, all departments
scoring advances. Foreign rentes, and es-
pecially Spanish and Chinese, led the in
terest. The latter were exceedingly strong
yesterday, with heavy transactions.
The German financial reviews explain the
Improvement on the bourse in various ways.
They all agree, however, that the domestic
and industrial situation does not warrant
this Improvement. Among the causes
named as responsible for the week S
amelioration is the great abundance of
money the forthcoming fotation OF
numerous domestic, foreign and state loans,
ushering in an era Of great activity for the
banks of emission, and the especially strong
American iron market. This market is Civ
ing unusual strength to German iron shares.
These have also proited from the expected
reduction in the price of coal which was
announced yesterday and which amounts
in most grades to one mark per ton.

OTIS sKINNER's FATHER.
Rev. Charles 4. skinner breaches n
Central UniversaIfst Church.

The Rev. Charles A. Skinner, father of
Otis Skinner, the actor, of Hartford, Conn,
occupied the pulpit of the Central Univer-
salist Church yesterday morning. The
Rev. Mr.. Skinner is beyond his SEVENTEEN
year. white haired and apparently some
what feeble. Notwithstanding his many
years he has a powerful, penetrating
voice. Mr.. Skinner took for his text the
gospel of ST Mathew xiii. 3S. So His open
ing sentence was: THE grain field and It's
harvest is typical of the field of God. The
field is the world with its masses Of peo-
pie. The harvest is the end of the world
and the reapers are the angels who will
summon us to our last judgment"
The sermon was enjoyed by the congre-
cation.
