White, of JIcKeesport, Graphically Describes a Performance. HOW KATDEE AIDS THE JFEODUCTION tCOEMErOKBISCI Or THX DISPATCH.: Pabis, August 7. The visitor to Europe this summer who fails to see the Passion Play at Oberammergau will be guilty of an omission which only ignorance of the treat in store for him, if he makes the pilgrimage, can excuse. Judging, however, from the large number of travelers who have already found their way to the quaint Bavarian Tillage and who have so spread the fame of this year's production of the sacred drama as to make two performances a week "Wednesday as well as Sunday neces sary, the majority of the American and English tourists will have seen this wonder ful play ere their return home. "Were there no Passion Play at Oberammergau the journey thither from Munich would be well worth the time and money expended. But, when to a delightful journey is added a so journ of a few days among the simple minded, honest and hospitable residents of the Bavarian highlands, and the opportu nity of witnessing themost indescribable and wonderfully realistic production of the "Patsionspiel," the whole forming such interesting and instructive entertainment as no tourist can afford to miss. The journey from Munich occupies about five and a half miles and owing to the ex tension of the railway to Porter Hirchen, in the valley of the Loisach, at the base of the Zugspitz, the highest peak in Bavaria, the trip can now be made with much more ease than in former years. Every mile of the journey to Oberan possesses interest to the tourist either from its wealth of legendary lore, or from the rare beauty of its natural scenery. Prom Oberan to Oberammergau is about six miles. In a comfortable carriage we reach the summit of a series of long, easy, xigxag grades; up the mountain side, some 600 feet, over a splendid road recently constructed by the Bavarian government; thence to our destination we have a level road through the valley of the river Aramer. WHEBE 1TATUBE IS BEAUTIFUL. This level ground reached, the pilgrim stands in full view of a scene of surpassing beauty. To the right towers Mt. Ettal, with the ancient Benedictine Monastery of Ettal nestling beneath it. This is the mon astery founded by the German Emperor, "Ludwlg, the Bavarian," in 1330. But the monastery as such is no more, and the monks who once inhabited it have long since departed to their eternal rest Only the chapel with the miraculous Madonna remains sacred to the uses of old. The bal ance of the structure is devoted to the de generate purpose of brewing beer. To the left is the towering peak of the Kofel with the cross. This mountain is considered the presiding genius of the place. Long before the sun sends his rays down into the valley the high cross is radiant with golden light, and when the orb of day sinks to rest it re flects the last faint glow of his vanishing light When a proposal was made to the Oberammergauers to take their "Passion Play" to England they are reported to have ,taid: We are willing to do so, but we 'must take the whole village and its guar dian spirit the Kofel." t After a half hour's ride we reach Oberam ratlgau, a village of cottages of Swiss pat tern, entirely surrounded by mountain heights. On Saturday about noon the in habitants of the country around about com menced to arrive. They came on foot, Alpine staff in hand, on horseback and by the wagon load. Dressed in their pictur esque Tyrolean costume, 'midst much laughter and singing of their melodious carols, they came to swell the crowd and lend additional interest to the scene, so that by Saturday night the streets of the village were overcrowded with the sudden increase of some 4,000 or more to its population. Where they all sleet is a mystery. CAEED FOE B7 A BAEBEE. Every cottager during the season of the play becomes a hotel keeper to the extent ot his accommodations. All the available sleeping room is given up to the visitors, the family for the time being retiring to the quarters in the peaked roofs of their cot tages. In this way about 3,000 can be taken care of. I found myself with 11 others the guest of Herr Spiegel, the village barber. My host was one of the participants in the play, acting as one of the money changers in the temple, while his youngest daughter, who served me at the table, appeared as an angel in one of the tableaux, and was jnore intent in know ing on Sunday at noon'whether I had seen her than in serving the excellent dinner Prau Spiegel had prepared for us. A little son, who exchanged some Alpine roses with me for afewpfennlgen on Saturday evening, showed up next day as a dherub. So it is that nearly the whole population of the vil lage takes part in the production of the play; some 668 of them being in the cast in some capacity or other. A very few hours' stay in the place enables the visitor to pick out the male participants. They are dis tinguishable by their very long hair, which they refrain from cutting for months before hand. A perfect deluge of rain fell all day Saturday and all night, and everybody, players ana visitors had reluctantly settled to the conviction there could not be any performance next day, for it must be re membered that the theater is only an en closure of wood, with the sky lor a root and the mountains lor a back-ground. But we were saved the disappointment Though it was still raining at daybreak, it cleared up in time for the performance to begin at 8 o'clock. Precisely at 7 o'clock of the even ing preceding the day of performance, the viilage band, in Tyrolese uniform preceded by the local tire brigade, paraded the streets of tho village. The music announces the approaching festival day. Nor is the visitor of the Passion Play permitted to slumber soltlr on play-day moraines. He is awakened at the early hour of 5 o'clock by. the hnng ot the village cannon planted on the meadows at the foot of the Kofel. This early call is intended to admonish and ena ble players and visitors to attend mass be fore repairing to the theater. THE AUTHOR HONOEED. The church is an interesting old structure in the center of the town, and in the church yard a neat monument marks the last rest ing place of the Geistlichcr Bath Daisen bereer, the author of the present text of the play. At 7 o'clock the band and firemen once more parade the streets, and at 8 o'clock the belching of cannon announces the time for the commencement of the per formance. The vast audience, occupying every one of the 4,000 seats, with a large number standing, are promptly in place. The production ot the play consists in the enactment of 18 scenes, covering every event in the life ot Christ, from His triumphal entry into Jerusalem to His crucifixion, and the presentation of 27 tableaux represent ing events chronicled in the Old Testament The performance lasts from 8 o'clock in the morning till 6:30 in the afternoon, with an hour and a half's intermission at noon for lunch. During all this long time the inter est of the audience never lagged; they were insensible to the passing hours, so wrapt and spell-bound were they in the strange scenes being enacted before them. There was no applause at any time, for from the very first notes of the chorus of Schutzgeister a reverential feeling seemed to have settled oyer the audience, and to the close they seemed imbued with the same feelings as the performers. The close attention given theperformance was the best evidence of their appreciation. Never before has the "Passion Play" been presented on such a scale of magnifi I -g.i-Mir.jA.!ar fM- ykjbAUa , afc, cf immmTamrr lm&imMfMi&tiBtitiB&MlmHAA JMHMMWMLMBtJlEila IfniSBtBBSKmmKKKKmammmSgmm cence as this year. The theater has been practically rebuilt On the stage the spec tator sees in all five distinct places of ac tion for the players. First, the proscenium for the chorus, for processions and the like; second, the central stage tor the tableaux and the dramatic scenes; third, the palace of Pilot; fourth, the palace of Ananias; fifth, the streets of Jerusalem. From the right a well wooded mountain, and from the lelt the cross crowned Kofel gaze down upon the visitors. The grandeur, the freedom and the sweetness of the landscape impart AN AIE OF ENCHANTMENT to the theater, enhancing the beauty of the acting and delightfully filling out all the intervals. The costumes this year are all new and very elaborate, while the direction of the whole is in the skillful hands of the manager of the Munich Opera House. To draw an adequate pen picture oi the "Pas sion Play" would be a difficult if not an impossible feat The groupings in the various tableaux in which hundreds take part are surprisingly correct, both as to positions and coloring. In the dramatic scenes such attention is paid to detail that the spectator is prone to forget that he is witnessing a representation and not a real ity. I must confess that for my own part, having come direct from the Holy Land, the impression made was such that I seemed in reality to be witnessing the scenes I had mused over in Palestine, and oiten during the dav did I look up at Mt Ettal and the Kofel "to assure myself that I was not under the shadow of Scopus or the Mount of Olives The dialogue of the drama is in German and the chorus of Schutzgeister mentioned is to sing in each instance an ex planation of the coming act or tableanx. Where there is such general excellence in everything it is difficult to particularize, but to my mind the most strikingly effective scenes were the entry of Christ into Jerusa lem; the parting from His mother, Mary Magdalene and Martha at Bethany; the Last Supper and the crucifixion. And of the tableaux those which were the most im pressive were Adam and Eve expelled from Paradise; the Israelites fed by manna; Moses pointing to the brazen serpent, and the Israelites passing through the Bed Sea. To speak of the individual performers the same difficulty presents itself. Each and every part is sustained in such a manner as to leave hut little room for criticism. GBAND SCENIC EFFECTS. I cannot go into detail of all the wonder ful scenes of the "Passion Play, ot which a whole volume might easily be written, but will refer only to a couple. From a scenic standpoint the crucifixion is the greatest Christ tottering under the weight of the cross on the way to Calvary, surrounded by soldiery and followed by the hooting mob, is strikingly and painfully realistic. To a much greater degree though is the scene of the crucifixion. None, I think, who have seen it will ever forget it When the cur tain rises the scene disclosed is of the two thieves already elevated upon their crosses, to which they are bound by cords round their ankles, their waists and to their arms, which are thrown over the cross-piece of the cross so that they have at least some support On the stage are the Boinan soldiers, the high priests of the Jews, the Virgins, Mary Magdalene, Martha, the Apostle John, Joseph of Arimathea and the venerable Nicodemus. The cross of the Christus lies flat upon the ground with His body fastened upon it Directly it is lifted and the scene ot the "three crosses in the noonday night uplifted" is one producing the most incomprehensible' feelings in the heart oi the spectator. He gazes upon the sight in deep amazement, doubting for the moment whether it is the reality or acting he is witnessing. His arms are stretched at full length and His hands and feet, for which there is no support are apparently pierced with nails. A powerful glass fails to discover any other means of support The fastening to the cross is ot Maier s own in vention. For lull 20 minutes he hangs there suspended, till finally a soldier pierces His side with a spear, from which "wound blood apparently flows, and the end soon comes, followed by very realistic thunder and darkening of the earth. INTENSE BEALISJI. The ascension is also a well-arranged scene. Christ surrounded by angels appar ently ascends to heaven. The effect is pro duced by fastening the bodies of the players to a clond scene, and they ascend as the scene is elevated. And so with every scene, realism seems to be the object sought after. I talked with many persons after the per formance as to how it impressed them, and what they thought of it in a general way. The reply from each and every one was the same, and about to this effect: It was a won derful production; they were glad they had seen it; it was far beyond their expectations: no people could produce it so well as the Oberammergauers. Yet still they had a kind ot a feeling all the time that it was too sacred a subject for stage representation, and pro duced by any one else, with the detail shown here, it "would be sheer blasphemy a ver dict in which the writer fully concurs. It certainly cannot be cnarged against the per formers that they were actuated by mercen ary motives, since Maier, the leading actor, only receives $250 for his four months' serv ices, and that only every ten years! I am personally satisfied that with these simple villagers it is a religious ceremony, and perhaps as they view it there is no harm in the production. Thomas L. White, M. D. A FEAST OF MUSIC Prepared for the Fourteenth Free Organ Recital, To-Day. Some very excellent vocal music will be heard at the fourteenth free organ recital in Carnegie Hall, Allegheny, this afternoon, commencing at 3 o'clock. Misses Belle Hamilton and Allie Emerson, of Beaver Falls, are to be the vocalists of the occasion. They are pupils of the Boston Conservatory of Music, and are rated as the most prom ising voices in that institntlon. A cornet solo with organ accompaniment will be played by Mr. F. L.

John Marks, em ployed in the McCormick reaper works as a machinist, emulated the actions of "Jack the Kisser" last night He did not get any kisses, though, and was kicked all over the block by the angry father, who witnessed the affair. To-day he was brought up before Justice Kersten who, in addition to a rigid lecture, fined- him 525 and costs. Marks, while outwalking Wednesday night noticed two pretty. girls talking in the yard of Chris topher Eh res, on Cleveland avenue. He tried to kiss one the girls but was re pulsed. He swore that he would have a kiss if be had to sit up all night for it Then he sat down on the steps and waited for the young ladies to enter the house. Mr. Ehres came along abont that time. He cuffed Marks soundly, chased him into the street and kicked him until he got tired. THE AS TO VACCINATION. An English Anti Tries to Hob Jen ner of His Laurels. HE IS OPPOSED TO INOCULATION, But His Artrnmenta are Controverted by Facts Which Prove That YACC1NATI0N DOES PREVENT SMALLPOX The question whether vaoeination is really protective against smallpox has once more come to the front, says a writer in the Lon don Saturday Review. Until quite recently the members of the medical profession were unanimous in their belief in its efficacy, but recently two physiologists of undoubted abilty (Drs. Oreighton and Crookshank) have ranged themselves on the side of the anti-vaccinationists. On this account the appointment of a royal commission to in quire into the matter is fully justified. Of the enormous decrease of the number of per sons attacked by smallpox in proportion to the population during the last CO years there is no doubt; indeed, it is now quite excep tional to see any one badly pitted by this disease. "Whether this improved state of things be due to the protective influence of vaccination or to other causes is the main point to be investigated by the commission. The book we are about to consider is by Dr. Crookshank, and he tells us in his preface that a copy of it has been sent to each mem ber of the commission. As the information upon which Dr. Crookshank has formod his opinions with regard to vaccination is mainly contained in the second volume of his work, we will refer to it first "We there find reprints of Jenner's celebrated "Inquiry," and of many other papers on the practice of inoculation with vaccine lymph and on cowpox. We also find reports on three spontaneous out breaks of cowpox, two in dairies at Eysines in 1881 and 1983, and one at Cricklade in 1887, reported on by the author. "We cannot speak too highly of the judicious care with which these papers have been selected. SMALLPOX INOCULATION was rendered illegal in Eneland in 1840, and will not be again revived. In the fourth chapter is described the system by which Dr. Haygarth proposed to limit the spread of smallpox. He must hare been a man of great acuteness, having fully recognized, as early as 1777, that this disease was always spread by infection or contagion, and never originated de novo. He advocated isola tion, cleanliness and fresh air indeed, very much the means in use at the present day ; but we have, of course, in addition num berless disinfectants, and are cognizant of the destructive effect ot a high temperature upon the materies morbi. In the chapter headed "The Tradition of the Dairymaids" evidence is produced which appears to us to show that, not only was an attack of cow pox believed to be protective against the more deadly disease, but that it really was so, the majority of smallpox inoculations failing in those who had suffered irom the milder disease. The main object of this chapter is to show that the inoculation of cowpox was known and practiced before Jen ner's advocacy of it The proof seem' com plete that Benjamin Jesty, a Dorsetshire farmer inoculated his wife and children with cowpox as early as 1774, he himself having suffered from the disease by accident Not only so, but also the faith of Mr. Jesty in the protective influence of this proceeding was so great that he allowed himself and his sons to be inocnlated with the virus of smallpox the result of such inoculations being negative. , Many pages are then de voted to the consideration of the life and letters of Edward Jenner. Throughout the whole of this portion of the book, a desire on the part of the author is evident to de stroy Jenner's character as a scientific, and even as an honest, man. He wishes to persuade ns that vaccination is of no use, and that, even if it were, the credit of Its introduction should bot be accorded to Jenner. HOT A PBOPHET. A specimen ot the cotemporary criticism of the new practice and its reputed author is quoted in the shape of a long paper by Mr. Birch, one of the ablest opponents of vaccination and a most ardent supporter of smallpox inoculation. Mr. Birch was not happy as a prophet, for, writing in 1806, he says: "I entertain no doubt, therefore, but that we shall soon see what yet remains of popular opinion favorable to the cause of vaccination vanish into thin air." Eighty four years alter this utterance popular opin ion is more favorable to this cause than ever before. His dictum, "Never to sacrifice ex perience to experiment" would scarcely commend itself to the mind of a modern physiologist Mr. Birch makes much of the fact that smallpox does occur in those who have been vaccinated, and sometimes severely, but does not appear acquainted with the equally indubitable fact that small pox sometimes attacks 'the same person twice. This should not surprise us when we remember that second and even third seizures of analogous diseases, such as measles and scarlet fever, are not uncom mon. "We believe that no instance of one who had been efficiently vaccinated a second time, and subsequently suffered from small pox, has been known to occur. Mr. Birch accuses the Jennerian Society of having placed posters on the chapels and Sunday schools contrasting the mild symptoms re sulting from vaccination with the severe ones following smallpox inoculation. If this were really done, it was certainly an unworthy and undignified proceed ing. Further on in his paper he insinuates that Jenner left London to escape from unpleasant questions about the new form of inoculation; whereas Jenner himself tells us that he did so because he was unable to obtain sufficient practice to permit him to keep up the expensive bouse which he had injudiciously taken. Though we ad,mit Jenner's error in thinking that cowpox originated from the grease ot horses' heels, we are hardly prepared to agree with Mr. Birch in attributing it to itch on the hands of the milkers. The following appeal to sentiment seems to ns entirely out ot place in a paper which is intended to be a model of logical argument, "And do not let us so inhumanly submit our babes, while smiling in the mother's face, to we know not what JENNER UPHELD. In his dealings with the National Vac cine Establishment Jenner wished to be too autocratic, and his resignation of the post of Director was a mistake; but his assurance that he would, nevertheless, be always ready to afford it any assistance in his power was large-minded and dignified. Jenner ap pears to have disbelieved in Jesty's antici pation of him in the inoculation of cowpox, and was, perhaps, not so careful as he might have been to inquire into the matter. However, it was he, and not Jesty, who, whether for good or evil, fought the battle in favor of vaccination, and caused the practice to be taken up almost throughout the world. His paper on the natural his tory of cowpox (rightly rejected by the fioyal Society) was an ill-considered and hastily ritten one, and does not redound to his credit or promote the cause which he had so much at heart In chaper viii. Dr. Crookshank, on quite insufficient evidence, makes the following serious charge against Jenner that,baving inoculated a boy named John Baker with matter from . an ulcer on the hand of a horsekeeper, which had been caused by the grease from a horse's heel, and the boy having died as the result of this inoculation, he told a deliberate lie in stat ing that the boy died from a contagious fever caught in the workhouse. On p. 280 the author sneers at the statement that after the' vaccine vesicle had passed a certain stage the fluid it contains is incapable of propagating true vaccinia, a fact perfectly familiar to those who have any amount of experience In vaccinating. Indeed, throughout the whole- of this chapter Dr. Crookshank entirely drops the character of PITTSBI7RG - DISPATCH, an impartial judge and. adops the role of counsel for the prosecution. In the course of the next four chapters much conflicting evidence is given as to whether human smallpox and bovine cow pox are modifications of ' the same disease; in' the opinion of the author they are not so. In the very interesting chapter on cowpox descriptions are given of the case ot milkers accidentally inoculated $ BISECT PEOM THE COW in epidemics occurring in certain dairies in 1840-41 and 1887, the report of the former being by Ceeley and of the latter by the author. In all these the course of the vesicles was very similar to that run by those produced by inoculation with human ized lymph, except that the local and con stitutional symptoms were more severe. "With regard to the latter group of eight cases the striking circumstance is re corded that the patients were all vaccinated, with the lymph ordinarily used, lour months after the casual attack of cowpox, and were all found to be complete ly protected. This of course goes far to prove the identitv ot the natural and artificially produced diseases. In attempting to explain the rapidity with which the new lorm of in oculation was accepted, both at home and abroad, without admitting any intrinsic merit in the practice, Dr. Crookshank would have us believe that Jenner had only to name the disease variola; vaccinte to induce medical men ail over the world to believe and act upon his doctrines without inquiry or examination. We may summarize the objects which Dr. Crookshank has endeavored to attain in writing this book under the following three heads: First To place in the hands of the medical profession a history of the origin, riBe and progress of vaccination and the pathology of the disease resulting from it; second To rob Jenner of his laurels by de priving him of any credit which, by the world at large, has been thought due to the discoverer of the practice; third To en deavor to show that inoculation with vaccine lymph does not afford any protec tion from smallpox. The first of these ob jects has been carried out succssfully, and this book is a valuable addition to the lit erature of medical history. "We cannot, however, credit the author with any ap proach to that somewhat rare character the impartial historian. The second point has been gained to the limited extent of show ing that Jenner was not, strictly speaking, the discoverer of the benefits to be derived from cowpox inoculation; nevertheless, it was he who caused the practice to be adopted bv almost all civilized people. It is difficult (o understand why the author should have shown so much animus against Jenner, and made such desperate efforts to deprive him of his posthumous fame by throwing doubts on his character as a scien tific, and even as an honest man. Possibly, with the enthusiasm of a recent "vert," he thought that the severest blow he could deal the old faith would be to discredit its author. VACCINATION DEFENDED. As for the third contention, Dr. Crook shank has scarcely made out a prima facie case against the protective influence of vac cination; indeed, all that he has attempted to prove is that attacks of smallpox, and even severe and fatal ones, have occurred in those who have been vaccinated, and this no one acquainted with the subject would attempt to deny. There is, however, an enormous mass of modern clinical evidence, collected by competent observers, demon strating that the efficiently vaccinated per son is in a position of almost perfect security against smallpox, as compared with one who is not thus protected. "With this evi dence the author does not deal at all. If clinical facts cannot be made to square with the theories of certain physiologists, so much the worse for the theories. We may enumerate a few of these facts, for which ft seems to us impossible to account on any other ground than that of the protective in fluence of vaccine lymph. The Begistrar General bears us out in as serting that the mortality rate among med ical men from every inactions disease ex cept smallpox is greatly in excess of that of the general population; whereas in this disease it is much lower. "We think the in ference obvious. It is within our knowl edge that during two of the yean for which the smallpox hospital at Hampstead was open none of the staff, though living con stantly in a poison-laden atmosphere, con tracted the disease, except an assistant gardener who had escaped the re-vaccination to which all the other members of the staff had been subjected before being allowed to enter upon the performance of their duties. "We are told that similar experiences are common in smallpox hospitals generally. , SMALLPOX DECBEASINO. "We have already referred to the circum stances that the diminuation in the number o f cases of smallpox is out of all proportion to that of other infectious diseases, and therefore cannot be entirely explained by isolation ot the affected and improved sani tary conditions. It has also been found in the examination of patients brought into the various hospitals that in the severe cases there were no cicatrices at all, or only very faint ones, showing that no efficient vacci nation had been performed. By carefnl isolation Leicester has so far escaped an epidemic of smallpox, but the curious cir cumstance was recently mentioned in the Lancet that those who carry out the isola tion of the cases which occasionally occur have all been revaccinated. So general and complete is the belief of medical men in the utility, of vaccination that we venture to assert that, were the com pulsory acts done away with to-morrow, 999 out of 1,000 of them would continue to per form the operation on their own children; and the greatest enemies of the profession will scaroely maintain that its members, in the present day, are characterized by undue credulity. It may not be out of place to mention here that only one blood disease has ever been proved to nave been conveyed in vaccine lymph, and greater care on the part of the operator would have prevented these sad accidents. Now it is always possible to obtain calf-lymph, which makes any such occurren'ce impossible. "We think the prediction contained in Dr. Crookshank's peroration (which we quote) as little likely to be realized as has been the case with that of his prototype, Mr. Birch, mentioned in the early part of this article: "It is more probable that when, by means of notification and isolation, smallpox is kept under control, vaccination will disap pear from practice, and will retain only an historical interest." BACK TO THE OLD WAT. Throe Assistants Appointed for United Etntca District Attorney Lyon. The appointments were received yesterday of the three assistants to the United States District Attorney of the Western District of Pennsylvania. Those appointed to as sist United States Attorney Lyon are: Nathan B. "Williams, Esq., of Pittsburg; David Cameron, of Wellsboro, Tioga County, and "William J. McDonald, of Allegheny. Mr. Williams is a well-known attorney, and is a son of the late Judge "Williams, of the Supreme Court Mr. Cameron is a brother-in-law of ex-United States Senator Mitchell, now a judge of the Tioga County Court. He was formerly United States Assistant District Attorney, but was removed under the Democratic ad ministration. Mr. McDonald is a member of Allegheny Common Council, and has been connected with the prothonotary's office for over ten years. He is a well known and popular young attorney. The appointments take effect September 1, 1890. Mr. T. B. Alcorn, the present assist ant to Mr. Lyon, who was appointed under the Democratic administration, has handed in his resignation, to take effect September 1. Mr. Alcorn has been the only assistant for several years, though there were formerly three assistants, and the office will now have its old quota of attorneys. The "Western district comprises 46 of the 67 counties of the State, and Mr. Cameron, living in the eastern end of the district, will look after the business there. Messrs. Williams and McDonald will attend to the work in the western end of the State, all under the supervision of Mr. Xyon. American ginghams at 8c and 12fc a yard; were 12HC and 18c earlier. Txssn Huaus & HACBJJ. SATURDAY, AUGUST WORKING TOGETHER. Protestant Denominations Join in Holding Revival Meetings. GREAT GOOD BEING ACCOMPLISHED Beautiful Hymn Written by the Late Cardinal Newman. GLEANINGS FROM CHURCH FIELDS The evidences of a fraternal spirit between the denominations of Christendom were never so manifest as they are at this time. Churches are more and more making less of their differences and giving prominence to the great essentials of religion on which all agree. A generation ago it was the style to make much of the points of disagreement. Of late years churches and ministers are more disposed to look at the points of agree ment, and the spirit of the age favors union of Protestant Christians. Confessedly, di vision has thus far been the weakness of Protestant denominations. The drift is'now toward union, and more wonderful things have transpired than the union of all Protestant denominations in the next 25 years. There is little doubt that in that time the Presbyterian lamily will be together. There is no good reason why Methodists may not be one in the same period. How the multi tude of sects will come together no man can tell, any more than a generation ago we could tell how our nation could be preserved and slavery blotted out. UNION EEVTTAL MEETINGS. As an evidence of the dritt toward Chris tian union is the following communication from one of the leading ministers of the city: "The ministers of Mt. Pleasant are spending their summer vacation in a novel way. For over two weeks union revival services have been held each evening. Bev. W. S. Wood is the leader in the movement, but all of the ministers have given him their hearty support During the day the ministers visit from house to house, and then in the evening union services are held in one of the churches. Never before in the history of Mt. Pleasant has there been such a perfect union of Christian people in a re ligious movement as there is at present The ministers of the Baptist, Presbyterian, United Presbyterian, United Brethren, German Beformed and Methodist have all given their time and labors to this blessed work. Much good has been done, and much more will be done. The meetings this week have been very large. Such a work in the hot summer months should cause rejoicing among God's people." BELIOIOU3 INTEEEST AWAKENED. The following clipping is from the Mt Pleasant Journal: "Probably never before in Mt Pleasant' history has a deeper interest in religious affairs been manifested than is now being in cited through the revival work of Bey. Mr. Wood, of this place. The meetings began two weeks ago and have continued nightly since, the attendance increasing until last Sabbath evening thebig Presbyterian church and its lecture room together were scarcely able to hold the vast congregation. It was then de cided to continue the work, in which all the pastors of the town will share. Mr. Wood is really a wonderful man in the pulpit He is of commanding appear ance, with a perfectly easy manner and the deep, ringing voice and graceful gestures ot the orator. With such a delivery it is no wonder that his sermons draw the'closest at tention of his every hearer; for, they are all made of clearly thought out and nicely rounded sentences that roll from the speaker's lips in musical cadence and reach the heart by first appealing to the reason. Those who have heard both Mr. Moody and Mr. Wood say that the latter loses nothing when compared with even that great evan gelist. CABDINATj NEWMAN. One of the great religious lights of this century, Cardinal Newman, entered into rest a few days ago. Cardinal Newman was everywhere acknowledged to be at the front for well on to a half a century. As a de fender of the Catholic faith he was easily foremost man t of his time. His reply to Charles Kingsley in response to charges against Bomanism, was one of the keenest specimens of logic in English literature. But Cardinal Newman will be longest re membered for his hymn which has become classic and is now found in all collections of hymns, both Protestant and Catholic Here is the hymn : Lead, Kindly Light! amid the encirclinggloom, Lead Thou me on; The night is dark, and I am far from home, Lead Thou me on; ,f Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see The distant scene; one step enough for me. I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou Shoulds't lead mo on; I loved to choose and see my path; but now Lead Thou me on; I loved the garish day, and spite of fears, Pride ruled my wilt Remember not past years. So long Thy power me, sure It still Will lead me on O'er moor and fen, o'er cralg and torrent, till The night is gone; And with the morn those angel faces smile "Which I have loved long since- and lost awhile I NEW CHURCH AT SCOTTDALE. The magnificent new United Brethren Church at Scottdale, will be dedicated to morrow (Sunday). The church edifice is an immense structure and it is estimated that the cost of erection will be considera bly over $25,000. The idea of constructing a church was conceived a year or so ago, by the Pastor, Bey. W. "&. Funk, and a few other leaders in the congregation. It finally became a matter of necessity as the old building, which is only a shell in com parison with the new one, was by far too small. The church is the design ot J. P. Bailey, the well-known Pittsburg architect. At the south front corner of the church is an immense tower. In the belfry of this tower are bells, three in number, the weight of which aggregates 4,500 pounds. The bells were presented to the church by James Cochran, the Dawson coke operator,. A pipe organ, to cost ?1,700, has been ordered, and will be here in a few days. Andrew Carnegie presented the church with a Sunday school organ costing $375. The walls of the church are nicely deco rated in the latest and most beautilul styles of the frescoing art. The ceiling is of red oak and reaches a height of 45 teet The whole inside of the church is finished in red oak. The main auditorium has a seating capacity of 450 to 500 people. The mam auditorium with the Sabbath School and infant room can be thrown together on special occasions, and will easily seat 1,000, the largest auditorium in the county. Elec tricity illuminates the whole building, which will be heated with natural gas. The structure covers a ground surlare of 87x113 feet The dedicatory services will occur to morrow, and the church will be dedicated in the anticipated presence of.10,000 or 12, 000 people. Bishops J. Weaver and E. B. Kephart will perform the ceremony. Spe cial trains will be run from Mt Pleasant and Greensburg, and will return after the evening service. A SUCCESSFUL TEACHER.
