delivered two excellent sermons. He is
a former resident of West Scranton.

7. Williams. of Hampton street.
Rev. Williams and wife are spending
months vacation in this city. She
was formerly Miss Nina Jones. of
North Bromley avenue. The subject
Of his morning discourse was "The
Easis of Our Unity with God" the
texts being from passages in the Cos
pei of John xiv:1O, and John Tvs. He
spoke, in part as follows:
Within the human life there has cvrr been a
desire for the receiving OF manifestation OF
the Divine and Infinite longing to come into
touch with the power that is above and beyond
the powers and attainmcnts Of the mere human
life. Within man, wherever he may be found,
there is an inner consciousness that assures him
Of DIVINITY that shapes cnd.' and a
manifestation of that Divinity has become a
strong necessity to the life.
Within the Christ-lie of the "Man.of. Galilce"
there can be found this manifestation which meets
the requirements, anu WHICH alone can suITce lot
the intellect, the heart, and the conscience Of
man. Christ is the true revelation Of God. The
whole nature Of this life in its mode and manner
of existence in the form of its manifestation
is comprised in one great, mighty, powerful word,
Love.
In fact, while Jesus may not have mentioned
the fact in words, still He implanted the idea
deeply in His disciples mind that God is
Love-" truth grave and impressive, upon which
no man has unused or medtatcd too long, The
bond that holds the Everlasting Three in One"
is Love. Love. true love, is the only power that
can bind lis to God and Christ. Whatever may

doctrine creed in which believe. to have
the true religion gospel in lives we must
hc one with the Father in Love.

FUTURE OF AMERICAN STEEL

From Andrew Carncge's "lhc Empire of Bus.
ness"
A few years hence the exports of iron
steel from the republic to many parts
of the world, which in 1900 were valued
at $129, 900. promise to be so great as
to constitute another chapter in the
record-breaking history of steel.
The influence of our steel-making ca :
pacity upon development at home must
be marvellous, for the nation that makes
the cheapest steel has the other nations
at it's feet so far as manufacturing In
most of its branches Is concerned. The
cheapest steel means the cheapest
ships, the cheapest machinery, the
cheapest thousand and one articles of
which steel Is the base. We are OH the
eve of a development OF the manufac-
turing powers of the republic such as
the world has never seen.
The republics progress and COM
manding position as a steel producer
are told in a few words; in 1873, only
twenty-seven years ago, the United
States produced 19S,796 tons of steel,
and Great Britain, her. chief COMPETE
tor, 653.500 tons, more than three times
as much. TWenty-Six years later, in
1899, the republic made more than
twice as much as the monarchy, the
figures being 10,639,S57 and 100000 tons
respectively an eight-fold increase for
Great Britain and fifty-three-fold for
the republic, and 1t made almost 40 per
cent. of all the steel made in the world
which was 27,OOQ0OO tons. Industrial
history has nothing to show compar-
able to this.
So much for the past; as for the fu-
ture, ere the present century runs one
third Its course, perchance only one
fourth, the United States is to make
more steel than all the rest of the world
combined and supply the wants Of
many lands besides our own.
Farewell. then, Age of Iron; all hail,
King Steel, and success to the republic.
