EPISCOPALIANS
Pastor Finley breaches to
Congregation on Doctrine
of the Church

The congregation Of st. Luke's Re-
formed Episcopal Church observed its
anniversary yesterday with all-day SER
vices. In the morning the Rev. r.
G. Finley preached on tho standing and
doctrine Of the Reformed Episcopal
Church. taking his text from First
Corinthians. 3: IA: Other foundation
is Jesus Christ"
The sermon was the answering Of
three general questions.
/. "Why did you withdraw from
the Protestant Episcopal Church7 ?"
First-To keep the church OF our
fathers faithful 20 the reformation OF
the sixteenth century
The first attempt to undo the glor-
ious work OF the Reformation under
Queen Mary (Bloody Nary and the
second under the traitor King CJamcs
ID were failures; but the third CThe
oxford Tract MovemenO succeeded,
''alas. too WELL" having for it's agency
the mighty power Of the press"
Let us compare its teachings with the
cardinal principles set forth I'm the
Reformation of the sixteenth century
as follows:
(a) The supreme authority Of the
Holy Scriptures as the rule Of faith
and practice.
CD The sole leadership OF Christ
over His church.
Co The exclusive priesthood OF
Jesus, admitting no human priests into
the church.
(d) The Church of Christ, tho
blessed company Of all faithful people
The simplicity Of Christian rites
and ceremonies.
The oxford Tract Movement sought
just the opposite Of these great princi-
pies as follows;
(a) Tradition was made Of equa
authority with the Bible.
% The church was to be obeyef
equally With Christ, and as the voice
of Christ.
@ The christian ministry was a rea
priesthood, the Lords Table an altar
the Lords Supper a sacrihce.t

not by faith.

Pathetic Story Of the Young.
est Member Of Reading

Hose Company. OF Reading. who is ac-
companyIng that organization on its an
nual trip and which is at present guest
OF the Phoenix Fire Company. and learns
tho lads history one cannot help being
reminded Of that pathetic song: Always
in the Way"
From the story OF the child's carly life
he is yet but eight years old. it would
appear that he was indeed always in the
way. When but a mere child his mother
was deserted by her husband and was left
with two children. Leroy and a sister
some months his senior. Finding, in her
Efforts TO obtain employment, children
were an obstacle the woman succeeded
in placing the girl in suitable home but
the boy was left upon her hands
She finally applied TO NJ. c. Krolder. who
at that time was connected with char
fable organization in Reading. Mr.. Krel-
der consented to take in the mother and
her boy and give them a home. This
he did but what was his surprise and
horror to discover one day that the child
was suffering from an attack Of lauda-
mum poisoning given, it is alleged. by its
parent. who asserted that the drug was
administered in an effort to put the child
to sleep as he was sick.
Second Dose Given.
Some time after this occurrance Mrs.
Kreider. upon entering a room where the
mother and child were alone IL is said.
discovered the woman attempting 10
force another dose Of the drug down the
litle ones throat. A struggle ensued and
the life Of the child was saved.
Not long after this little Leroy wa,
seized with an attack Of whooping cough
Which came near taking his life. In fac
he was pronounced dead by his mother
who while gazing at the supposed mani
mate form Of her boy turned to Mr.. Krel
der and said: There he is. take him Va,
love him so well. He's yours now"
Mr.. kreider worked over the little on
fer hours and finally recuscitated him
Carrying him to his mother he said: .'Ye
love that boy. See he is alive and he i
mine mine forever. for you have glvei
him no me-"
Although Mr.. and Mrs. Kreider have no
legally adopted the boy they have reare
him from childhood and are greatly at
taehed to him. That the youngster re
oiprocates the affection bestowed upoi
him is evinoed by the manner in which n
