WAS BEST EVER.
Great VanAmburg Circus Pleased.
Every Feature Splendid.
If it ever comes back to-town, and
you have not already seen it, be sure
to go. It is without doubt superior to
any circus traveling the United States.
It is the cleanest, most refined and
up-to-date circus in the world. There
is an absence of grafting or grafters
that is noticeable. The gentlemen in
charge do not carry that old-time cir
cus swag about them. They aro all
neatly dressed, polite and look after
the individual comfort of their patrons,
not giving their entire time and atteu
tion to gathering the sheckles.
If the Van Aniburg Circus ever re
turns to this city it will have to have
two canvases as large as the one used
yesterday to accommodate the crowd.
At 8 o'clock every reserved seat was
taken, and at 8:15 every seat of any
kind was taken, the only available
room being on the ground in front of
the sev.ta. The tent was packed al
most to suffocation, and despite the
fact that it was too warm to ho com
fortable, nobody left until the last race
was finished.
The work of the acrobats alone was
worth twice the price of admission.
The finest lot of trained horses in
the United States, the daring bareback
riders, the trapeze and bar performers
and the funniest set of clowns ever
carried with a circus were all interest
ing.
The Van Amburg Circus is growing
larger and better every year. It will
always be welcome in Atlanta. —At-

Emporium, August 10.

Whose Son is He?
Rov. J. M. Robertson, delivered
an able sermon last Sunday
morning at Emmanuel Episcopal
church. It was as follows:
"Now while the Pharisees were
gathered together, Jesus asked them a
question saying, What think ye of the
Christ? Whose son is he? They say
unto him, The son of David. He saith
unto them, How then doth David in
the spirit call Him Ix>rd?" —St. Matt.
22: 42-3.
These words, particularly the ques
tion, "What think ye of the Christ?
Whose son is he?" may fitly suggest to
us the thought of our estimate of
Christ as the Son of God, and the
ground on which we rest our f^iith.
From all the Gospels,and particularly
from the fourth, we receivba vivid im
pression of the running light of
criticism and controversy which the
enemies of our Lord waged upon Him,
especially when he was in Jerusalem.
The whole issue turned upon his claim
to be the Messiah, or the Christ. The
hope in a Messiah who soon should
come was deeply seated and univer
sally prevalent among the Jews at the
beginning of our era. In presenting
Himself to the Jews as the Messiah, or
Christ, our Lord was simply making
use of that idea and term which would
most fully convey to them the reality
that He was. It was necessary to put
the new wine of Christ's revelation of
God into the old bottle of the Messianic j
concept.
The Pharisees thought of the Mes
siah as an early monarch, as a de
liverer from foreign oppression and a
conqueror of the Gentile nations. He j
was to raise again the splendors of
David, and so to prove himself the son
of David. But they laid equal stress
upon his actual descent from David.
Among the Pharisees the Messiamic |
hope had come to be mixed up with a
sort of ligitimism as narrow and fa
natical as that ever associated with
the houses of Stuart or Bourbon. The
Messiah must be a real descendant of
David, able to prove his genealogy to
the satisfaction of all. This legitimist
demand was an essential part of the
old wine which the Pharisees insisted
should remain in the old bottle. Our
Lord's own disciples were saturated
with the same idea of legitimism,
that is, that the Christ must be a real
descendant of David according to the
flesh; and, accordingly, we fine elabo
rate attempts in two of the Gospels to
trace the genealogy of our Lord to
David; but our Lord Himself seems
to have placed about : s much value
upon these well-meant efforts as did
Napoleon upon the efforts of his imper
ial father-in-law to prove that the
Bonapartes were of ancient royal
descent. The new wine was so differ
ent from the old, the conception of
Messiahship which our Lord had come
to reveal was so different from the
conception held by the Pharisees, that
the question of physical descent from
David appeared in the light of the for
mer as of very secondary and trivial
importance. The question which our
Lord put to the Pharisees had one
meaning and value for them and quite
another meaning and valuo for Him.
To them the all important answer was
the one which they pave, viz, "the Son
of David". When our Lord turned
their words back upon them and asked
again, "How then 'doth David in the
Spirit call Him Lord?" He was in ef
fect sayine: to them, Your answer does
not goto the heart of the question;
you are dealing with trivialities and
accidents. lam not asking about the
genealogy of the Messiah; I am asking
the vastly more important question
as to what the Messiah is in His
inmost nature and character, That is
what I mean when I ask, What think
ye of the Messiah? Whose son is he?
lam not asking about ancestors, but
about character and spirit, about duty
and mission. Since David in the Spirit
called him Lord, it is simply irrelevant
to lay emphasis upon the Messiah's
descent from David. We must look
higher than David if we are to under
stand the personality and nature of the
Messiah—tne Christ. He may be a
son of David, but if He is only that,
He is not the Christ.
To the Pharisees sonsliip suggested
only the idea of a material genealogy.
Our Lord used it in an ethical sense.
Our Lord never referred to His ances
try. He never called Himself the Son
of David. He never said, I am what I
am because of such and such descent.
He did call Himself the Son of Man and
the Son of God, but these terms, it is
evident, express not origin or descent,
but essential nuture, particularly in
the ethical and spiritual sphere.
Our Lord, when he asked the Phari
sees, What think ye of the Christ? was
not referring explicitly to Himself or
"Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."— WEßSTEß.
EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST S, 1907.
to Ilis own claim. The question was
quite general in character, referring
only to the Messiah in general, who
ever he might be. But Jesus might
have challenged attention directly to
Himself, as lie indeed did 011 many oc
casions. Our text in the King James
version is often used to challenge
thought directly to onr Lord Himself.
"What think ye of Christ?" Very ap
propriately may these words be so used,
for such a challenge does confront
every man who comes into the
world. There stands Jesus Christ, the
central figure, the dominating person
ality in the world's history, making
claims upon the allegiance of men such
as none other can make. Whether one
will or no he is confronted with the
challenge, What think ye of Christ?
What iB his value for you? What does
His nature mean for you? In other
words, whose son do you say He is?
We all believe and gladly confess
that ' JeßUs Christ is the Son of God.
But let us not fall into the error of
the Pharisees of old, who saw in the
question as to whose son Jesus was,
nothing more than a question of gen
ealogy and physical heredity and
origin. The question, primarily, is not,
how do we think Christ was born?
but, what nature do we behold in Him?
We must put an ethical emphasis upon
the question, Whose Son is He? not a
genealogical emphasis. Two of the
evangelists do indeed tell us something
about the mystery of our Lord's birth,
and these accounts in their essential
features are not likely to be set aside
as the result of the most searching
historical scrutiny or of the most rigid
scientific criticism. But alter all is
said it will remain true that our
belief in the divinity of Jesus, our
faith iu the Incarnation, does net rest
upon the story of His extraordinary
birth, any more than does aur belief
that He was the Christ of God rest
upon the proof of His descent from
David.
Upon what ground then, do we rest
our judgment that Jesus was divine,
that He was the Son of God? It rests
upon our direct perception and appre
ciation of His wonderful, His unique
personality, of his matchless character
of love and goodness, and of his su
preme power and influence over the
lives of men. It was upon this ground
and this alone, that our Lord Himself
based his claim upon the spiritual al
legiance of men. He had nothing to
say about His genealogy or of the cir
cumstances of His birth; but He did
say, "He that hath seen Me hath seen
the Father."
We smile at the simplicity of St.
Philip, who said, Show us the Father:
yet have we not been ju&t as slow as
he to see that in knowing
historic Christ we are in reality know
ing the Eternal Father? Somehow we
think of divinity as something wholly
different and separate from humanity.
It is a puzzle to us to understand
how Jesus Christ could bo both God
and man—very God and very man.
We have invented theories to so'.ve
the problem. Sometimes we have em
phasized Ilis divinity almost to the ex
clusion 01 His humanity; and some
times we have emphasized His hu
manity to the exclusion of His divinity.
Perhaps the most commou way of
trying to harmonize the two elements
has been to alternate between the two,
to sea in Christ alternately one who is
human and divine. In the Christ who
sat weary beside the well of Samaria
we see the human Christ; in the Christ
who walked upon the water and who
fed the multitude in the wilderness we
see the Christ who was divine. In the
Christ who quivered with agony in the
Garden of Gethsemane and who endur
ed the pain of crucifixion we see the
human Christ, while in the Christ of
the rending tomb and the enveloping
cloud we see Christ the divine.
But is Christ to be thus divided? Are
we still to cling to that habit of
thought which separates so sharply
between the divine and the human,
that it cannot see the human in the
divine, nor recognize the divine in the
human? Our Lord Himself was con
scious of no seveftince in his person
ality. Had He been conscious of such
a division in Himself between the di
vine and the human, He would surely
have qualified His answer to St. Philip
by saying, "He that hath seen the di
vine part of me hath seen the Father."
Are we still to cling to that habit
of thought which associates the idea of
divinity only with the thought of
might, majesty, dominion and power?
Are we still to think that Christ was
somehow less of God, less endued with
divinity, when He humbled Himself
and became obedient unto death, even
the death of the cross? Is the cross to
be to us, as it was to the Jews, a
stumbling-block? And yet how much
easier it is for us in our habit of
thought to associate divinity with a
throne than with a cross. And because
there was so little of the throne iu His
earthly ministry, we feel that we must
needs turn to what is secondary and
accidental and external altogether to
His real life, in order to And witness
to His divinity.
So long as divinity suggests to us
only majesty, dominion and power,
we shall miss the central evidence of
the divinity of Christ and we shall miss
the closest link which binds us to Ood,
and gives us the hope of becoming in
any real sense the sons of God. Our
faith in the divinity of Christ does not
rest finally upon any outward prooft
but solely upon our perception and ap
preciation of His wonderful personal
ity and character. The highest, nay
the only real, meaning of the divine is
ethical and spiritual. Apart from
such a meaning we may know some
thing of an infinite power, or of an in
finite intelligence, or of a supreme
monarch in the heavens, but we know
absolutely nothing of the divine. To
seek to expiain the divine in any other
terms than those which find our ethical
and spiritual sense, is like seeking to
convey an impression of a sunset in
terms of optics and meteorology. If
to be divine means to be possessed of
all power and knowledge and visible
majesty, then we cannot call Jesus of
Nazareth divine. It is because the
divino has no necessary relation to
power or knowledge or kingly state,
but solely to the highest perfection of
character, that we hesitate not to hail
the Man of Galilee as in the highest
and truest sense divine. Instead of it
being necessary that He should be au
thenticated to us by external voice or
sign, it is He who manifests, and
therefore authenticates, the Father to
us. "We know that what Jesus says
of God is true also of Himself,
and then we know it to be true of
God." Our highest ideas of all that is
most truly and essentially divine are
based upon our knowledge and un
derstanding of the spiritual character
of the Christ of the Gospels. The
whole spiritual meaning of our idea of
God is based upon our knowledge of
Christ. If there is a purity more pure
than His, a holiness more holy, a faith
profounder, a hope higher and
surer, a love more tender and
deep, a purpose more far-reach
ing and all-embracing, we know
not where they may be found. We
know of nothing in all the universe
more divine than Christ. It is because
we know of nothing which so exacts
our deepest spiritual homage, nothing
which so satisfies the most rigid ethical
demands, that we shrink not from giv
ing to Him the name that is above
every name. Not power, not know
ledge, but love, is of the essence of
God'B nature. Only our Saviour's love
itself can witness to us in the truest
sense that He is divine. And yet how
slow we are to understand that our
faith that Christ is the Sun of God rests
upon our knowledge of His character,
of His spirit of love and service.
Browning, in his poem "An Epistle."
describes the shock, and also fascina
tion, which this truth had foi'a pagan
to whose mind it came as a startling
revelation. May that truth be as vivid
to us as to him.
"The very God! think Abib; dost thou
think?
So the All-Great were the all-Loving
too —-
So through the thunder comes a human
voice,
Saying: O heart I made, a heart beats
here!
Face my hands fashioned, see it in my
self!
Thou hast no power nor mayest con
ceive of mine;
But love I gave thee, with myself to
love,
And thou must love me who have died
for thee."

UNLOADING WHISKEY
ON EMPORIUM.
Not content with "rubbing it in"on
Emporium oil account of the great
number of fatalities that lias befallen
Emporium during the past year, the
Port Allegany liquor dealers, or at least
one dealer last Friday sold one gallon
of whiskey to an Emporium woman,
who had been arrested for drunkenness,
when any person could tell that she was
addicted to drink. The courts of Mc-
Kean county should investigate this
case of violation and promptly punish
the violator. The woman referred to
came home gloriously drunk and made
an assault upon her family and again
landed in jail. The woman referred
to, when out of liquor, is an indus
trious, hard working citizen and has
accumulated considerable property.
The great sorrow under which the
family is resting warrants our with
holding the name.
Emporium we admit is, and has been
for sometime, practically drunk; pigs
ears and flagrant violations of the
liquor laws, assults, murders, robber
ies, and all kinds of meanness and
deviltry going unpunished. The peo
ple of Emporium are ready for revolt
and if the licenses are wiped out by the
court, none will be to blame but the
violators. Hotel men, who have large
sums of money invested, in order to
protect their own interests should
promptly organize for self protection.
State Road Extensions.
The State Highway Department have
had a crew of surveyors in this county
for several days surveying contem
plated state road work. The surveyors
were named: J. T. Gepheart, chief,
and assistants, Robt. G. Horneck, Wal
ter T. Young, Harold Block, Howard
Hershey, M. Glenn Brubaker and U.
J. Eckman. Two pieces of road have
been surveyed in this county, 4,300 feet
from P. & E. R. R., depot at Hinnama
honing to the iron bridge on First Fork
and 6,200 feet of an extension to the
West Creek road built last year. This
will extend the West Creek road up to
the Emporium Powder Company road
and make a pleasant drive or even
walk.
Beautiful Lawns.
Our towns people have just reason
to be proud of their beautiful and well
kept lawns,and a trip around town will
repay any one. Start in some pleasant
evening and walk around town and
you will be surprised. Of course Geo.
Barker, who has charge of the Court
House lawns takes the prize, if one was
awarded. No tlner lawns can be found
in the state than those to be seen in
Emporium—the courthouse, F/ed
Julian, J. Pitt Felt, Mrs. Bryan, Jos.
Kayo and Judge Green's being the
most extensive.
Arrested and Jailed.
Constable H. B. Mutthersbaugh of
Driftwood brought one Wm. Coher,
aged 36, to Fort Swope last Monday,
charged with the awful crime of forni
cation and bastardy, the victim being
a young girl between fourteen and fi£
teen years of age. The man being
married and the girl a minor, the pris
oner will no doubt get the full penalty
of the law. If Constable Mutthers
baugh don't let up on arresting, the
county will' have to erect a larger jail.
Attending Family Reunion.
Bank Teller Charles E. Crandell and
wife, who have been visiting relatives
in New York, were called home on
Monday, owing to the serious illness of
their daughter Elsie, who ii now bet
ter. Mr. Crandall left yesterday for
Nelson, N. Y , to attend a family re
union of relatives. About 150 cousins
will bo present from New York, Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Michigan. What a
jolly good time Charles will have.
Good Path Master.
Jos. Streich was on July 6th appoint
ed one of the Path Masters for Shippen
township, having charge of the roads
from Emporium to the McKean county
.line, also the Salt Run, Sizer Run and
Plank Road Hollow roads. Mr. Streich
says he will put the roads in good con
dition as rapidly as possible with the
funds at his command. The PRESS be
lieves he will do as he agrees.
Mr. Devling Improving.
Mr. W. E. Devling, who is confined
in Williamsport Hospital, we are glad
to learn from his good wife who visit
ed him on Monday, "that he is improv
ed. He will be able to sit up in a few
days and is a great deal better than we
expected to find him " This will be
pleasant news to W. E's many Cam
eron county friends.
Visiting at Jamestown.
Judge Geo. J. Laßar and wife, ac
companied by their four grand-child

Exposition and other southern points
of interest. The Judge intends to look
up some of the battlefields to see if any
of the rail fences remain that he jump
ed his charger over when the Rebs
made it too hot for his comfort.

The Ladies Aid Society of M. E.
Church will serve ice cream and lunch
on circus day in a tent, to be erected

The Great Van Amburg Shows.
The Atlanta News says:
"The general concensus of opinion
of the five or six thousand Atlanta peo
ple who attended the afternoon and
night performances given by the Van
Amburg shows is that not a cleaner,
cleverer circus ever raised its canvas
in Atlanta, and every person attend
ing the afternoon or evening perform
ance will be a walking, taking-adver
tisement for the \ r ßn Amburg Shows
should the circus come this way
again.
"All the horses, all the animals of
the menagerie, looked trim, well fed
and cared for, the wagons, the cages,
seemed more than mere gold leaf and
tinsel decorations. From the ticket
sellers und takers to the ushers and
even the canvas men the circus at
actics appeared neat and courteous.
But, best of all there wasn't a grafter
with the show. For each dime or dol
lar spent by the amusement seekers,
either in or about the show, an equiva
lent to the full was given of entertain
ment.
"There have been large shows in
Atlanta in past years, circuses that
spread larger tents, needed more care
for transporting paraphernalia and ex
hibits, shows that made more pretense
and blew louder blasts of publicity,
hut never one that gave patrons more
for their money or made a better im
pression of cleanliness and decency.
To praise in detail all that should be
praise would be to consume columns
of space, so it can only be said that
every Van Amburg attraction was bet
ter than represented, every ring artist
first-class, every detail of the circns
wholly satisfying. May the Van Am
burg Shows come again next year and
every year." Will exhibit at Empori

Gets Something at Port Allegany.
A Hungarian woman who claims
Emporium as her home, was in the
city Tuesday and Wednesday begging.
It is said that she walked over from the
powder town. It is further said that
Bhe is the wife of one of the Hunks
who was burned to death while drunk
at Emporium a couple of weeks ago.
There is an ordinance against begging
on the streets of Port Allegany.—Re
porter.
Brother Layman of the Reporter has
been giving Emporium some hard
raps lately in regard to the liquor
question. We are aware that Em
prium has numerous license places,
and may not be as strict as the law re
quires them to be, but we would like
to know what difference it makes
whether a person buys their whiskey
at home or goes to Port Allegany to
make their purchase. The only way
we can account for it is, as the old say
ing goes, they are looking for the "rot
tenest stuff" on the market. We will
say in reference to the above notice
that the woman referred to is being
properly cared for and has not been
out of town since her unfortunate trou
ble. The editor of the Reporter says
fewer licensed places and the more
strict the law will be carried out, and
then they won't be so hungry for the
money. Now, a case came under our
observation the past week, in which a
party was refused drink at this place
and at once took the train for Port
Allegany and returned with four quarts
of whiskey,the result of which the party
was so crazed that she is now in jail.
We don't know what brand they sell
there, but it must be rank stuff.
New Proprieter in Charge.
Mr.Wra, Schutte.of Pittsburg,who re
cently purchased the furniture and leas
ed New Warner arrived in Emporium
last night and took possession to-day.
Mr.Schutte is a practical hotel man,hav
ing conducted the same kind of busi
ness in Pittsburg and East Pittsburg
for nine yoars. He is a gentleman in
the prime of life, quiet an unassuming
and we bespeak for him the same large
trade accorded the New Warner under
the retiring proprietor and his estim
able wife, who have made many friends
in Emporium. We are glad tliey will
remain here.
An Infernal Outrage.
The r scoundrel who poured acid
or somo burning chemical upon
Jos. Lechner's pug dog, last Monday,
disfiguring it for life, should be die

an act would burn your house. In ad
dition to the? 5.00 reward offered by
Mr. Lechner, many other citizens will
each give £5 00 to the party furnishing
