Chief Brown Gives His Reasons For
the Changes Made.
ONLY THE BEST MEN ARE WANTED
A Fire Captain Who Thinks the Eedncti,on
Was Sot Too Heavy.
THE OTHER BOYS HATEXT MUCH TO SAY
The names of the men who are to compose
the reorganized fire department of this city
were made public bv Chief Brown of the
Department of Public Safety last night In
the list there are 48 new names out of a
total of 177, and when the chief secures a
man for fire director, the new position he in
tends to create, there will be 178. The
work of reorganization really begun on the
first of last July since which time 14 new
men have been put on the force, making
the total of G2 men replaced by the chance.
The date of the change has been fixed for
October 1, in order to give new appointees
an opportunity to give due notice to their
present employers or dispose of their pres
ent occupation, as the case may be, in time
to take their new places on that date, as
well as to give those of the present force
who are to be dropped, an opportunity to
secure other employment. Chief Brown is
well pleased with the list he has made out,
aud expects great things lrom the depart
ment after the new men have been broken
in.
The names of the men only arc given, the
places they are to fill being left to the Su
perintendent and his assistants. Speaking of
the reorganization Chief Brown last night
said:
I have picked out the men and will allow my
assistants, who know more about tho details of
the fire service, to apportion them to the vari
ous engine houses and positions as they deem
ben for the best interests of the department.
1 am satisfied the material I have furnished is
good, and If judiciously handled Pittsburg will
soon regain her place in the front rank of the
fire department's of the country.
The reorganization of the department has
lone been contemplated by me. in fact 1 have
been considering it eer since I first assumed
niy present position. At that time I found the
police force in tuch condition that it was
necessary to attend to it hrst. Tho fire service
was far superior to the police, but was notwhat
it should be for a city of Pittsburg's size and
importance.
HE STUDIED IS OTHER CITIES.
"When I made my mind up to this I began to
look around for ways of making improvements.
I did this by watching tho movements of the
local department and comparing it with that
of other cities, notably New York, Chicago and
Philadelphia. I found they had better service
than we had, but it was not m their apparatus
so much as in their men and their skill and ac
tivity. I have tried improving our force in
those particulars bv having the men drilled in
ladder climbi g, hose and plug connecting,
hitching and a.1 the other time-saving plans
in the fire tervice. This drilling had a very
beneficial effect, but did not bring the service np
to the mark I wanted. Then I made investiga
tions of another character. I examined the
captains of the companies and made other in
quiries which resulted in a determination to
make changes among the men.
Some of the testimony taken in my investi
gation was interesting in this connection. One
captain had testified that he had not one man
in hi company capable of performing ten con
secutive uours of duty at a conflagration; an
other that he bad only four men in his com
pany who were able to climb a ladder to the
top of a five-story building. Some testified
that men in their companies had defective
Eight, others had rheumatism so they could
moe but slowly, and a dozen other points of
this character were brought out. I found we
had men from 50 to 65 jcars of ace on the
force, and they could not be expected to stand
the superhuman tests that a fireman is some
times called -upon to undergo. Only men who
are so constituted should be members of a
fire department.
"Another thing I discovered in my investiga
tions was lack of skill and management, borne
of the testimony taken shows that in some of
our big conflagrations within the last two
3 ears the cntnncs have been delated from 20
to C5 minutes after their arrival at the cenc
of the fire before they got their hose coupled
up and streams atnork. The delaj was the
result, firt. of the engines not having been
properly met by a messei ger from the chief to
tell them what ping they must drive to and
how to get to it; and second, of the indifferent
skill of the drivers. If the driver of an engine
laiowB his business he will drive right up to a
plug and stop on a spot from nhich the section
of hose can be coupled to the engine without
moving the engine an inch If he does not he
will drive np and 0 times out of 10 will have to
make a complete circuit in order to get at the
right place, thereby losing much valuable
time. The plug coupling is short, and the
engine must be jut in a certain position or it
cannot be coupled to the plug.
BROWS' IS RESPONSIBLE.
"Well, this is bnt an instance of the many
points in which I have found room for im
provement, and that improvement we must
have. Our citizens have a right to expect the
best service because they pay for it, and pay
well. As chief of the department if any defi
ciency exists, no matter bow innocent I may
be nor how hard I strive to better things, I am
held responsible. Being responsible, I am de
termined to be blamed as little as possible, and
to that end I have reorganized. I have no
dount I will be censured by some people for
dropping certain men that I have replaced on
the list, but as I would be censured if their in
ability led to disastrous results when they were
called upon to do duty, I would rather be cen
sured for doing what is best fur the service and
for the people than otherwise. In my
work of reorganizing I have paid much atten
tion to the drinking class of men, and several
of the men who are stricken from the roll owe
their removal to that cause.
I have been greatly worried over the removal
of some of the men in the department. Some
are personal friends for whom I nave the warm
est feelings of regard, while others are old men
in the service, popular and well known, but
their davs of usefulness in that branch of serv
ice are over. I have made out the list entirely
by myself, have received no assistance from
anj one, nor have I allowed personal or political
feelings or interests to have any effect npon
ray work. This is positively the case. It is true.
I have received a great manyrecommen-iations
for certain men from their friends and my
friends, but they were only considered when
the qualifications of the applicant came up to
the requirements. I think there are only 20
men on the list 1 have given you who were thus
recommended.
Of course I do not claim the department will
be perfect as I hat e reorganized it, bnt time
will tie required to demonstrai e the ability and
faithfulness of the men. If they are what we
want we will keep them, and if not, they will
be replaced until we get what we do want.
The Superintendent and his two assistants will
have the work of placing the men to do. They
are instructed to recognize convenience In
their apportionments. If a man lives in the
Eighteenth ward and has a home there, be is
not to be placed on the Thirty-sixth ward com
pany, but on the company nearest his home.
This and other considerations that have been
observed in the past will be recognized now.
LOOKCTG FOE A DIRECTOR.
The position of fire director is still unfilled.
There haTe been several names proposed, but
after consideration they have been dropped,
and it is still to be determined who will be
selected for the position. It is one of great re
sponsibility and much hard work, and it will
require a man of more than ordinary ability,
perception and activity to fill it properly. How
ever, 1 will take my time in selecting the man,
and will not appoint any until I have one upon
whom I can depend.
Very various feelings were exhibited by
men of the department whom a Dispatch
representative saw last night, when he in
formed them of the radical change to be
made in their ranks. At the Duquesne it
conld be seen that, while expressing extreme
surprise at what they regarded as an un
locked for change, they had nevertheless
Eotne inkling of what was coming, while at
0. 3 the news was not wholly unexpected,
pnd it was freely stated that Chief Brown's
intention of thoroughly reorganizing -the de
partment was well known, and a move in
that direction on bis part was looked for at
any moment.
Regarding the introduction of 48 newand
untried men it was freely conceded that so
many, all at once, being put on, would not
impair the efficiency of the force, as they
could be distributed throughout the 17
houses and would soon be broken in. One
Captain seemed to regard the advent of
fresh blood into the department as a matter
for congratulation, aud one went so far as
to state that it was high time that a number
of incapable men were weeded out and
young and active men put in their stead. A
very large majority of new men, he said,
were very quick to understand what was
required of them, and it required but very
little instruction to make them as efficient
as the old hands. One prominent citizen
seen last night said that from what he
knew of the personnel of the iorce there
were too many of them addicted to the rosy,
and that menkof such prediliction should
have no place on an establishment qf such
importance as fire service.

HIS SAFE COBBED OF 2.500.
Ticket Agent Glcason Left the Dpor Open
Wnh the Above Result.
George B. Gleaon, ticket agent, on Lib
erty street, was robbed of $2,500 in cash
Monday night.
Last night Mr. Gleason said that on
Saturday there had been a large railroad
excursion for which he had sold a great
number of tickets. He placed the money
he received from the sales, about 2,500, in
his safe in a rear room at his cigar store at
Ko 978 Liberty street, so that his clerk
could use it for the purchase of tickets Mon
day morning before he got to the store. He
did not lock the safe, as he had not been
used to keeping much money in it, and had
been accustomed to leaving it unlocked.
He did not use the money on Monday and
left it in the unlocked Bafe as before. "Mon
day night he locked up the store about 10
o'clock and went to his home at No. 331
Webster avenue with bis father.
Some time during the night thieves tore
a set ol heavy iron bars off the rear window,
entered the store and took the money. The
robbery was discovered by Mr. Gleason's
clerk the next morning. Mr. Gleason re
ported the affair to the police, bu- as yet
the thieves have not been caught.
Mr. Gleason has no suspicions who the
robbers might be. The watchman of the
block in which the store is located saw no
person loitering about the place on the
night of the robbery, so the police are with
out a clew Mr. Gleason said they had in
structed him not to sav anvthing about it,
bnt as the story bad leaked out be saw no
harm in giving the above.

W0EKIKG OS PRECIPITOUS CLIFFb
E O M Brownsville
avenue, Sputhside, to
the foot of the hill, a
new incline the
longest in Pennsylva
nia will be com
pleted by next De
cember. Jolly Bros.,
the contractors, hare
over 90 workmen en
gaged in digging,
carting and blasting
tbe rocks along the
hillside. More than
hall these workmen are Italians and Hun
garians; a very small percentage speaking
English. The incline is not steep, and will
have the original feature of being run
almost entirely without trestle-work. The
tracks will run on solid ground for three
fourths of the descent, and on trestles for
the remainder. This will, of course, make
the new incline less dangerous than any of
the others at present used in Pittsburg.
In the beginning of the work horses and
wagons had to be dispensed with, as tbe
hill, in parts, afforded scant foothole even
for a man. By dint of blasting with
dynamite a rough platform was made, and
the work of carting the stones to tbe edge
of the ravine and damping them over be
gan. A rough barrier of wood work at the
edge serves the double purpose of keeping
the loose clay from giving way and prevent
ing the wheels of the wagon from slipping
over the hill.
Several accidents have already occurred
owing to the over-haste of the drivers in
IFftere the Wagons Went Oier.
backing their horses. The wagon wheels
struck the barrier too sharply and went
clear over the 6ide. In an instant wagon,
load and horses were precipitated into the
ravine. The air was full of flying dust and
stones; tbe borses kicked and plunged
madly in mid-air, and the whole confused
mass fell into tbe soft earth belo-. Jt was
well for the luckless horses that the ravine
was full of loose clay, or undoubtedly they
wonld have been dashed to pieces. As it
was nothing more serious occurcd than

on tbe horses, and the partial bnrial of tbe
wagons. Windlasses had fo be put in
requisition to get ihe wagons np, while the
borses were led by devious paths to the foot
of tbe bill. It requires nice judgment to
bring the wheels exactly to the stoppipg
point, particularly when the barrier is
scarcely five inches high.
The power house the stonework of which
will be finished bv October 15, will be the
finest in the city, being built throughout of
Knoxville and Siw Mill Bun sandstone.
It will measure 135 bv 78 feet,
the boiler room, which extends to the
nortb, being 40 feet across. There are two
curves in the line, the first about half way
from the summit, the second where the
trestle-work is to commence. Four houses
have been lifted from their foundations by
means of a windlass and pulleys, and moved.
to a station out of the rnn from the line. A
fifth house is now m jr ess of removal,
tbe new site being some 120 fief up the side
of the hill.
The rate of progression is slow, but sure,
The LoM-er Retaining Wall
three or lour days generally sufficing for
the change. Some difficulty wab experi
enced by the company in purchasing the
house now being moved. iThey offered
$5,500 for the house aud lot, bnt the owners
relnsed the bid, and asked 6,000. Alter
long bargaining the house aud half the lot
were secured for 53,300. Half way down the
bill a retaining wall is to be erected, 700
feet long by 28 feet high. Side walls will
also be run up bere aud a sort of tunoel
erected, over which traffic can pass from
Brownsville avenue, while the Incline cars
run beneath.
SUED FOE BLASTING.
A good deal of blasting has been carried
on at this point, and one pf the gentlemen
residing on Brownsville avenue has entered
suit against the incline company, claiming
that stones thrown up by the dynamite have
struck the roof of bis bouse The incline
contractors say this is an utter impossibility
from the position of the house.
The work of sicking holes for the re
ception of dynamite charges is somewhat
precarious and must be decidedly uncom
fortable. Upon a narrow ledge ol rock, 15
or 20 feet over the cutting, sits a man on a
low stool, with bis back to the descent,
working a heavy crowbar up and down. A
hasty move&nt might send him to the bot
tom of the catling, bead foremost, and the
very rising from his uncomfortable seat is
attended with great danger.
The pew line of gas pipes, which is being
laid up the hill, runs parallel with tbe In
cline for some distance, and then cuts it
diagonally a little below tbe point where
the tunnel will be. The workmen are under
orders not to interfere with the pines cross
ing the incline, except during toe night
time, as tbe uncovering of the pipes wonld
prevent the wagons from passing to and iro,

but tbe company claim that their incline
will not loose anything by the near neigh
borhood of its rjval. It has, beep proposed
to take the unusual step of erecting a stop

OVERCOATS IN DEMAND,

Frost Predicted.
Overcoats and wraps were In great de
mand last evening, and the young man wjio
had not "lifted" his ulster did not stand
around on street corners. He kept moving
along to keep bis blood in circulation. It
was the first cold night of the season, and at
the signal observer's office it was predicted
that there would be a slight frost. Had the
wind been blowing from the porth instead
of the west there would have been consider
able damage done to plants, etc.
The sudden changeof the weather is some
thing unusual at this iime of year. It was
not within the recollection of the observer
when the temperature had fallen so low at
this time during September. On Sunday it
was verv warm, the thermometer registering
86 at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The fol
lowing dav the maximum was 74, and on
Tuesday it went down to 69. Yesterday at
3 o'clock the maximum temperature was
60, or a fall of 20 in three days. Last
night the mercury began to go lower, and it
was thought it would land in the cellar of
the Schmidt & Friday building.
The minimum temperature last evening
was 54. At 8 o'clock in the morning it
was two degrees lower than these figures.
The coldest point in the country was at St.
Vincent, Minn., where it was 28. At Bis
marck, Dak., it was 38.
The cool wave came from the Northwest,
and was tbe tail end of a fall blizzard that
swept over the country from the land of the
Decotahs. At all points west of the Missis
sippi river the temperature fell to between
30 and 40. Last night the wind was
veering from the west to the south and
southwest. This indicates that it will not
get any cqlderfor the present.
DISPUTE ABOUT THE TERM.
A Legal Point Raised That Slay Affect tbe
Position of Magistrates.
When Alderman Gnpp was asked last
night about the point raised that the police
magistrates can hold their offices' after tbe
election of a new mayor, and in spite of the
opposition of that official, he said: "I do
not think that any man of cqmmon decency
would hold the position under those circum
stances. I know that I would not. I have
not read the point referred to very carefully,
but I think that any man whose selection
is approved by Councils would obtain it
without any trouble. I do not think, howj
ever, that the issue will ever be raised."
Magistrate Hyndman, however, main
tained a different view, claiming that a new
Mayor would have no authority to put him
out of office while be behaved himself A
prominent city lawyer sajd that there wa;
no ground whatever for such a view of the
matter. )
The section of the charter which has occa
sioned the discussion reads:
Tho police power of taking informations,'
making arrests and preservation of the peace,
heretofore vested in the Mayor, shall hereaf te
rest in the Mayor and five police magistrates,
all of whom shall not be of tbe same politica
party, to be appointed by the Mavor, subject tt
tbe approval of the City Councils, in such dis
tricts of the city as shall by ordinances be des
ignated, whose term of office shall be during
good behavior, and until a successor be ap
pointed and approved.
The clause "whose term of office shall be
during good behavior" is the cause of the

SEWS F0M TUB KPUSTBIAL MILL
In regard to the exclusive publication in
yesterday's Dispatch ot the fact that the
"Western window glass manufacturers were
dissatisfied with the settlement of the strike
and were accusing the Pittsburg members
of the -Wage Committee with breaking faith
with them. Secretary Loeffler, of the associa
tion, who is thtr active partner in the firm
of B. C. Schmertz & Co., sent out a circular
to the trade yesterday.
The firm is the one that wanted to start,
and in the circular, the Secretary says:
When "Jeannette," with a capacity equal to
12 to 14 10-pot furnaces, sfgned the seals to
commence operations September 1, wp con
cluded it useless to resist the demands of the
workers, but in deference to other manufact
urers, and not wishing to appear antagonistic
to them, we finally consented to ignore "Jean
nette," provided 94 per cent or all tho pots in
the Western district signed an agreement not
to pay any advance. The 94 per cent not bay
ing signed the agreement, same becomes pull
and void and is not binding, and any manu
facturer can honorably start up any day.
Knowing tbat some of tbe manufacturers
who refused to co-operate have already signed
the scale, and that others will do likewise
whenever it suits their convenience, which will
be followed by most of tlje manufacturers, it
virtually means to pay the advance, and the
onlv thing to be gained by longer refusing to
sign the scale is to further postpone the start
ing of tho factories, and in tbe meantime
abandon tbe market to the importers and to
the factories starting up.
CONVINCED OF HIS MISTAKE.
Wo are fully convinced now tbat it was a
mistake not to start when Jeannette did, and
no doubt our friends, Messrs. Chambers and
McKee, were delighted at the course tbe man
ufacturer? pursued. We are glad to note that
our views aro shared by some Pittsburg manu
facturers. Mr. Bodine, who is erecting a tank
in tbe East, no doubt wonld be pleased to have
us remain out of blast until November, at
which time his tank is expected to be ready.
We fully realize that ruiuous prices wf)l pre
vail during the entire year, but to remain Idle
the best season of tho year and permit tho im
porters, Jeannette and others, to do tho busi
ness, does not improve matters. The policy of
Jeannette seems to be to sell very ow and op
erate ten months in the year, acting" indepen
dently of the association. This policy, legally
carried outmeans the "survival of tbe fittest."
Other manufacturers, running oply eight or,
nine months cannot hope to compete with the1
low prices of Jeannette. j
For years, the manufacturers have endeav
ored by artificial means to control prices, but
that policy has only been partly successful
apd only temporarily, and resulted in building
up new and weak concerns, until the produc
tion has reached such a point that control of
prices by combination has become Impracti
cable, and, therefore, higher prices to compen
sate for increased cost, by reason of shortened
blasts, is an absolute impossibility.
In addition to the above, another circnlar
was sent out under date of the 14th inst, by
tbe Secretary. In tbe latter circular it was
stated tbat the requisite 94 per cent of the
total number of pots in the trade not hav
ing signed the manufacturers' agreement,
tbe agreement not to sign the scale was not
binding upon them. The Secretary had
notice tbat some manufacturers would sign
the scale, and "it was reasonable to suppose
that they should." Continuing, the circular
says: v
OPPpSED TO THE NEW EULES.
"Therefore, at a special meeting of the
PHtsburg manufacturers, it was arranged that
tbe resident members of the wages committee
have a conference with the workeis' commit
tee, and if a settlement at last year's wages
could pot be effected, to insist tbat the workers
must withdraw tbe new and obnoxious rules
appended to tbe scale.
"The settling of wages by tho. Pittsburg
members of the committee seems" an unwar
ranted assumption of authority, and they fully
realized their delicate position, but they bad
precedents for their action. Several times set
tlements have been made tbat way, and same
was satisfactory to our Western friends. Be
ing on tbe spot and believing that a critical
period had arrived, and knowing that some in
dividual manufacturers would exercise their
privilege to start up, if we made no settlement,
must bo our justification."
On the 13th inst. Presidept Thomas D.
Catlen, of Ottawa, 111., was telegraphed
what the Pittsburger proposed to do. He
wired a reply tbat he could not vote for a
settlement on the Pittsburg basis. He
farther stated tbat if a meeting was held the
following Thursday he would attend. Mat
ters were precipitated by the meeting being
held that same day. W. T.Gray, another
member of the committee at Zanesville, O.,
telegraphed: "I will vote against any ad
vance in wages." D. C. Coolman, of
Bavenna, wired similar language.
The fnll correspondence will be printed,
together with the advanced scale of wages,
in the current issue of the National Glass
Budget.
WHERE UNCIiE SAM LOSES.
Statistics Showing How tbe Tin-Plato In
dustry Wonld Help Us.
The American Iron and Steel Association
have sent copies of their tariff tract No. 1,
for 1889, to this city. It is entitled "All
About Tin Plates," and furnishes some in
teresting statistics compiled by President
Weihe and Secretary Martin, of the Amal
gamated Association of Iron and ' Steel
Workers. They'calculated that in the year
1887 there were imported into this country
283,836 gross tons of tin plates. This renre
sented $10,000,000 in wages paid British work
iqgmen. If the producthad been made in this
country it would have given American
workingmen S23,OOQ,000. To make this the
iron ore miners would be called upon to
produce nearly another million tons of ore.
The limestone quarrymen would be required
to produce over 300,000 more ton3 of lime
stone. It would also necessitate an addi
tional production of 2,000,000 more tons of
coal and coke, 400,000 tons more of pig iron,
and 5,550,000 pounds of lead.
The cattle raisers and meat packers would
he called upon to lurnish a large part of the
13,000,000 pounds of tallow and palm oil
needed. Over 40,000,000 niore pounds of
sulphuric acid and the lumbermen wonld
be cabled upon for an additional 12,000,000
feet of lumber. At least 35,000 more men
would be employed directly to supply the
demand of tbe United States for tbe plates,
if they were made here.

OIL WELL CASING ADVANCED.
No Oilier Cbangcq In Prices Made by tho
Pipe olanufactnren A Spirited Meeting
Wn. Held.
The regular monthly meeting of the Na
tional Association of Wrought'Iron Pipe
and Boiler Tube Manufacturers was held
yesterday at the Hotel Anderson. The
meeting was called to order at 10:30 o'clock
in the forenoon and did not adjourn until
6 P. M.
All of the 20 mills, scattered throughout
the country from Boston, Mass.to Kewanee,
111., were represented. Careful and de
tailed reports of the Condition of the pipe
market, in the various manufacturing local
ities, were read and discussed. Considering
ttje tjme of the year,. it was, stated that tho
demand fpr the various classes of pipe and
tubes was up to a fair average. As the
season is fast drawing to a close, it was not
expected, bnt that few if any further con
tracts for oil and gas lines would be placed.
The fair demand which has existed for the
past year was a source ot great satisfaction
to the manufacturers.
The meeting was a very spirited one, and
when the matter of changing prices came
up there was considerable objection. A
number of the manufacturers present
wanted to make a material advance in the
same proportion to the advance on crude
material, but in this they were overruled
by the Pittsburgers and others. Those who
wanted to make the advance stated that they
had more orders on their books than they
could fill for weeks, and the condition of
trado warranted the increase. After
ursho of discussion, they managed
to nave tne discount on on well casing ad
vanced from 57 to 55 per cent from the
present card rates. Tubing still remains 11
cents per foot net. The other discount) are
the same as at present, being on steam, gas
and water pipe: Black y& to 1 inch, 50
per cent, and from 1 to 12 inches 62
per cent; galvanized to 1-inch,
42) per cent, and from 1 to 12 ipches, 50
percent.
These figures were not in the report given
out for publication by Becretary, Captain
James Murdock, but were obtained from a
Western manufacturer. The next meeting
will be held next month in Kew York.

President Smith, of the American Flint

There is not tbe slightest possibility that
the flints will strike, as the packers were

officers say they could not strike even if
they wished to.

The audiepep. that greeted Mr. Htigh p.

posed Jargely of people who, whether pt no
they think Jjfe worth lTipg, STidentiy wapt

not bujlding altogether on future existence
in Abraham's bosom, and little knots dis
cussed, various topics, mainly biological, for
three quarters Of aq lour before Harry
Hooyer introduced the lecturer.
Mr. Hoover paved the way by telling the
story of Hypatja, and then proceeded to
state that 'the church spread:' itself oyer
Europe like the pall of death, extinguish
ing all inentai life and liberty for 12 cen
turies until Arabian civilisation and science
was bofne into if on Moorish lances. He
then told the story of Copernicns, Galileo
an;! Bruno, and referred to the unveiling pf
a statue to the honor of he latter, which,
he said, the Pope diqVt like. He said here
still remained some brains in the "church",
and they were first struck by the light as
are mountain tops at sunrise. The light
struck Beepher, and finally Hugh Q. Pente'i
cost, who also had brains, and neither tlje
Baptist nor the Congregational communion
copld bold him, and he came out. ' '""' '
Mr. Pentecost spoke rapidly for about an
hour. After telling ofljis baptism at 12
years of age and his 12 years' expedience as
a minister of the Gospel, " ""'"
The following is a synopsis of his lecture:
Mr. Pentecost state'd that "this was" his essay
ai a Liberal. He did not profess to-be a scien
tist and knew but little of liberalism, having
but read furtively Paine and Ingersoll, 43 min
isters frequently do.
HIS THOPBHT WAS AWAKEJfEI.
The study of Darwin and the Dutch school of
biblical criticism bad awakened bis thought. It
was a powenui jasK to get away from his moor
ipgs. He first thought that if the Bible vera
the word of God ho ought to be able to under
stand it without the aid of so many commen
taries. Tbe study of t convinced him that the
teachings, of the Church were very different
from those of Jesus. He would speak only of
thO Protestant churches where be found, as
a rule, ministers struggling to get charge ot
the largest congregations and tbe bet salaries
bowed down to the rich and neglected the poor.
A visitor from another world by the study of
the teachings of Christ and the practices of tbe
Church would never suspect there was any con
nection between them.
Mr. Pentecost said he got away from the
Church because he consistently believed the
bnt ItTTOuId be very fpolisb o do what ba
