THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH: '.SATURDAY, . iFEBRUARY 1, 1890, 12 ONE DAT IS FOE BEST. A Reasonable Observance of the Sab bath is What is Commanded. JOY, HOT SADHESS, EHCOUKAGED. Questions to be Answered ly Ministers at the Ministerial Association. ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM CHURCHES At the meeting of the Evangelical Al liance on Monday morning, the Bev. Georce Hodgea read a paper on the observance of the Sabbath. The principal point empha sized was that it is appointed as a day of rest. The sentiments expressed were indorsed by all but one or two -who spoke, showing that a long stride forward has been taken in the advocacy of a rational observance of that day. He said: However, the point which I desire yon to notice is that the emphasis was upon rest. God gave a commandment that men should not work forever, but that they should have a little leisure in their lives. God says: "My children, I would not have you work too hard; taVe a day off once every week, and get a good rest, alt ot you." This word of fatherly solicitude is very touching. Ana what a dread ful thing men made out of it, marking out its meaning with such narrow measures that the great, line, fatherly intention was lost sight of altogether. And hat a tragic failure men make to-day in the keeping of it. "Six days Shalt thou labor," and six hours a day" 1 wish bad been put into the commandment, "but the seventh is the Sabbath of the Lord tby God. In it thou sbalt not do any work." Why there are thou sands of men and women in this Christian -world to-day who do not know what rest is; they are slaves in a bondage compared with blcli old Egypt was a blessed paradise. They arc ground between the upper and the nether null. tones, over hours on one side and under pay on the other. One day in seven! No; hot on day in seven hundred. There were certain rabbis who held that when a man waked up on the morning of the Sabbath, he should continue in the attitude in which he found himself- aud stir neither band nor foot till tho sun went down. To call this rest is like making a wilderness and calling it peace. To: the best rest is often found in work, in change of work. If we are to make no manner of w ork" a literal thing, we shall fi-id ourselves all Sabbatb breakers. Once every week there comes into every well ordered Christian lire a day which deserves to bear that name. The hurry, the rush, the noise of the week are all shnt out. It is a quiet day. The books, the magazines, the papers w hich are read every other day are read spar ingly on this day. Ilia emphasis is put npon the higher side of life, upon religion. In tho morning and in the evening the church bells ring, and that means worship in the house of God. That means the necessity of a choice between the refreshing of a body and the re freshing of the soul, between the lower and the higher. There is one kind of Sunday which a horso can keep as well as a man. Bnt "I was in the spirit on the Lord's day" sala St. John, setting as an example that lifts us abovo the animals. The afternoon is sacred to the family. I do not know what Christ would say to some of our Sunday visiting- I am sure He would have dis approved of a cood deal of it. Nevertheless He has set His seal to the social meaning of the day. Especially in the family. the Lord's day ought to be the weekly festival of household happiness. "Let us rejoice and be glad in it." Let every one have a happy face on this day. Let the public flower gardens be open in the summer time. Let the railroads take people out into the country under God's clear sky. Let us get all the cenulne pleasure we can into this day tor everybody. Snch a Sunday, such a restful and religious day, ought to be kept in every household, but it is not so kept. The ambitions, the hurries, the frivolities, the bargains of the week crowd in upon it, the transitory is suffered to obscure the eternal. A generation is growing up whicn is not being taught at borne the happi ness and below hich this day holds. And the wise shake their beads over tho fact and see in it a menace both to soul and body, both to church and State. And it does not need any unusual wisdom to see bow Christian civiliza tion and the Christian Sunday are bound up together. We, at least, can do our own part. "We. at least, can keep the Lord's day in the Lord's way. If we sit down at set of sun. And connt the things that we have done, And. counting, find One sell-denying act, one word That eased the heart of him who beard. One glance most kind. That lell HLe sunshine where it went, Then we may count that day well spent. But, If through all the livelong day, W e' ve eased no heart by yea or nay; If through It all We've done no thine that we can trace That brought the sunshlue to a face, ' 2s o act most 6mall, That helped some 6oul, and nothing cost Then count that day as worse than lost.

All the men at the bead of great movements are Christian men. Dur ing tbe many years I was in the Cabinet I was brought into association with 60 master minds, and all but five of them were Christians. My only hope for the world is in bringing the human mind into contact with divine revela tion." Enthusiasm should be tempered with truth, if not always with discretion. Rev. A. T. Pierson. D.D..of Philadelphia, recently said in England that "a remarkable movement has broken out among the young men in Kansas, Nebraska and tbe Dakotas, which can only be compared in Its intensity to a prairie fire, that there are 4.000 students in the colleges of tbe United States preparing for tbe mission field."

Subsequently the government was tele phoned, and two ladies appeared from San dusky street and interdicted the expedition, compelling the troops to disband and go home. An assortment of Gatling gun, Winchester rifles, swords, bowie knives and other military stores will be sold at a sacrifice. A HAT0RE LAW STUDENT.

Sawyer wanted to pass a tip stafl in the Court House the other day and go in among the lawyers, but the guard ob jected, when Mr. Sawyer informed him that as a law student he possessed the privilege. The tipstaff couldn't believe that the portly man demanding admission was a law stu dent, but he referred the doubter to Major Negley, and an investigation showed that E. P. Jones, Esq., had entered Mr. Sawyer as a student in 1859. After 31 years he is still indifferent as to the matter of admission as a fledged lawyer. TWO MOKE PLANTS.

An English Hop Broker Throws Light on tbe Brewery Deals Stock Brokers la London are Back ot Them How Tbey Work the Scbemo In England. Mr. George McCracken, a wealthy hop broker of Liverpool, England, is a guest of bis brother in law, Mr. M. J. Lunn, of Castle Shannon. Mr. McCracken is on one of his periodical trms to this conctrv to bnvhons. He visits the vast hop fields of New Xork State three times each year, and after making his nurcbases shins the product to England and Ireland. Among bis heaviest customers is tbe firm of Bass fc Co., of Burton-on-Trent. Tbey turn out 1.000,000 barrels of ale per year, and every hop they use is grown in New York. As Mr. McCracken travels extensively throughout this country and tbe United Kina dom. it would be sunDossed that bo would know something of the operations of tbe sup posed English brewery syndicate. He says there are no such organizations as brewery syn dicates, as tbe people of this country suppose them to be. Every brewery that was supposed to have been purchased was changed into a stock company. The stock was placed on the London Exchange, and anybody who wanted to could purchase it. In regard to tbe matter Mr. McCracken said: Tbe idea of speculating with American brew eries originated with some London stock and share brokers who carried out a practice In vogue in England. When a concern of any kind assumed such proportions that it was hard to manage, for the protection of each In dividual partner, it was changed into a Btock company. The brokers went farther than this in their operations In this country. Tbey would take a half dozen small concerns, lump them together and make a proposition to the principal owners. The proposition was to form one company and place the capital stock about equal to what they were worth. After selling a certain amount of stock to the chief proprie tors they would advertise the remainder in the London newspapers. The stock would then be offered for sale on tho London exchange. They would place the financial part of tho business with a reputable banking house and this would givo it the appearance of a good stock to buy. After floating the concerns as one company the brokers would be paid a com mission, and, on account of the large amount ot money involved, would make a handsome thing out of it. Guinness & Co., of Dublin, was changed into one of these concerns. It has paid as high as 16 per cent since the concern was turned Into a stock company. Tbe company was floated for 6,000,000, and Mr. Guinness received one-half of this amount. Fart of tbe remaining stock was divided among tbe employes, who hold all tbe way from 1 to 1,000 shares. The largest single concern floated in tbis country was the Frank Jones Brewing Com pany, of Portsmouth, N. H. The capital stock was fixed at 6,000,000.- Mr. Jones got $3,000,000 ot this for himself. Tbe subscriptions for tbe work came from John O'Goat's House to tbe Land's End and from the Giant's Causeway to Cape Clear In Ireland. ALLEGED 1EBEGDLARITIES. Fifteenth Word Democrats Dissatisfied With Tbslr Prlinnrles. There is considerable dissatisfaction among the Democrats of the Fifteenth ward over tbe recent Democratic suggestion meeting.
