THE SEED OF BROTHER!! KESDXESS.
rSrxaXL TEIXCttAM TO Tlffi DISPATCH.!
BKOOKiyvx, May 17. If proof of Dr. OVil-
pjfflage's immense popularity had been needed
11 -noma do amply larnisnca uy the prompti
tude with which the people have availed
themselves of the increased accommodation
afforded by the new Tabernacle. The vast
edifice is ns densely crowded at every sen-ice
as the older and smaller Tabernacle
was. Dr. Talmaee this morning paid his at
tention to the theological disputes which
are agitating the churches, and as u-ual
cave sound practical advice to both parlies.
His text was Matthew iv. 21: "James, the
son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in a
ship with Zebedee their father, mending
their nets."
The Bible again and again represents
Christian workers as Ushers of men, and wo
are all sweeping through the sea of humanity
some kind of a net. Indeed, there have been
enough nets out and enough fishermen busy
to have landed the whole human race in the
kingdom of God long before thi. What is
the matter? The gospel is all right, and it
has been a good time for catchirg souls for
thousands of vears. Why,, then, the fall uresT
The trouble Is with the nets and most of
them need to be mended. I propose to show
you what Is the matter with most of the nets
nnd how to mend them. In the text old
Zebedee and his two boy, James and John,
were doing a good thing when they sat in the
boat mending their nets.
The tronble with many of our nets! that
the mesbes are too large. Ifafihcan get
his pill mid half his bodythroueh the net
work, he tears and rends and y orks his way
out and leaves the place through which he
pquinneda tangle of broken threads. The
Bible weaves faith and works tight together,
the law and the gospel, righteousness and
forgiveness. Some oi our nets have meshes
so wide that the sinner floats in and out and
is not at any moment caught for the
heavenly landing. In our desire to make
everything so easy we relax, we loosen, wo
widen.
The Church Fast Getting Bad.
Is the Bible language an unmeaning
verbiage when it talks about self-denial and
keeping the body under and about walking
the narrow way and entering the strait gate
and about carrying the cross? Is there to
he no way of telling whether a man is a
Christian except by his taking 'the com
munion chalice on sacramental day? May a
man be as reckless about his thoughts,about
his .amusements, about his dealings after
conversion as before conversion? One half
the Gospel nets with which we have been
scooping the sea have had such wide meshes
that they have been all torn to pieces by the
Tushing out into tha world of those" whom a
tighter net would have kept in. The only
nse of a net is to keep the fish from going
buck, to where they were before and taking
them where they could not have been taken
by any other means. The church is fast
becoming as bad as the world, and when it
pets as bad as the world it w ill be t orse
than the world bvso much as it will add
hypocriivof a most appalling kind to its
other defects.
Furthermore, many of our nets aro torn t6
pieces by being entangled with other nets.
It is a sad sight to see fishermen fighting
rtbont sea-room and pulling in opposite di
rections, each to get his net, both nets dam
aged by the struggle and losing all the fish.
In a city like this of more than 800,000, there
aro at least 500,000 not in Sabbath schools or
churches And in this land where there are
more than 6yx,000 people, there aro at least
30,000,000 not in the Sabbath schools or
ennrebe. And in this world of more than
1,400,000,000, there are at least 600,000,000 not in
schools and churches. In such an Atlantic
ocean of opportunity, there is room for all
the nets and all the boats and all the fisher
men and for millions more. There should
be no livalrv between churches. Each one
does a work peculiar to itself. There should
be no rivalry bctwcenmlnisters. God never
repeats, himself, and he never makes two
ministers alike, and each one has a work
which no other man in the universe can ac
complish. If fishermen are wise, thev will
not allow their nets to entangle; or, if they
do accidentally get inter-fn isted, the work
of extrication should be kindly and gently
conducted.
Cannot Fish and Fight.
Kow I have noticed a man cannot fish and
fight at the same time. lie either neglects
his net or his musket. It is amazing how
inuch time some of the fishermen have to
look after other fishermen. It is more than
I can do to take care of my own net. You
see the wind is Just right and it is such a
pood time for fishing and the fish aro com
ing in so rapidly that I hai e to keep my eve
and liand busy. There are about 200,000,000
souls waiting to get into the kingdom of God
and it will reqniro all the nets and all the
boats and all the fishermen of Christendom
to safely land them. O, brethren of ministry!
Let us spend our time in fishing instead
of fighting. But if I angrilv jerk my net
across your net, and you jerk your net
angrily across mine, wo will soon have two
broken nets and no fish. The French revo
lution nearly destroyed the French fisher
ies, and ecclesiastical war is the worst thing
possible while hauling souls into the king
dom. I had hoped that the millennium was
nbout to dawn, Dnt the lion Is yet too fond of
lamb. My friends, I notice in the text that
James the son of Zebedee, and John, his
brother, were busy not mending somebody
else's nets, but mending their own nets, and
1 rather think that wo n ho are engaged in
Christian work in this latter part of the
nineteenth century will require all oursparo
time to mend our own nets. God help lis in
the important dutyl
In this work of reparation we need to put
into the nets more thieads of common sense.
When we can present religion as a great
practicality we will catch a hundred souls
where now we catch one. Present religion
as an intellectuality and wo w ill fail. Out in
the fisheries there aro set across the aters
what are called gill nets and the fish put
their heads through the meshes and then
cannot withdraw them because they are
caught by the gills. But gill nets cannot bo
ofanysenico in religious work. Men are
never caught for the truth by theirjheads; it
is by the heart or not at all. i'o argument
ever saved a man and no keen analysis over
brought a man into the; kingdom of God.
Heart work, not head work. Away with
your gill nets: Sympathy, helpfulness, con
solation, lot e, are the names ot somo of the
threads that we need to weave in our gospel
nets when we are mending them.
IJrotherJy Kindness Xceded.
.When you aro mending your net for this
wide, deep sea of humanity, take out that
wire thread of criticism and that horse-hair
thread of harshness and put in a soft silKeu
thread of Chrl-tian sympathy. Yea, when
you are mending your nets tear out those
old threads of gruffness and weave in a few
threads of politenes and geniality. In tho
house of God let all the Christian faces beam
with a look that means welcome. Sn v 'Vnral
morning" to tho stranger as he enters your
pew and at the close shako haidi with him
and say "How did you like tho mnie?"
Why. you would be to that man a panel of
the door of heaven; you would be to him a
note of the doidlogv that craphs sing when
a now soul enters. That utm is a thousand
wiles from home and he has just heard
by telegraph that his child is sick with scar
let fever nnd his bovat college has got Into
digraco, and he has had business troubles
and he is so homesick he can hardly keep
from crying. Just one word of brotherly
kindness from you would lift him into a
small heaven. I have hi other days entered
a now in church and the woman nt the other
endofthcpcwlookedatmeas much as to
say: "How dare you? Thisismypewandl pay
the rent for it!'r Well, I crouched In tho
other corner and made mvself as small as
possible and felt as thongh I had been steal
ing something. So-there are people who
have a sharp edge to their religion and thev
act as though they thought mo-t people had
been elected to be damned and they were
glad of it. Oh, let us brighten up our man
ner and appear In utmost gcntlemanllnc-s
or ladyhood.
In addition to this we need to mend our
nets with more threads of patience. It is no
raro thing for a fisherman to spend one
whole day before he can take a .St. Lawrence
pike, or an Ohio salmon, or a Long Island
pickerel, or a Cayuga black blass, or a Dela
ware cat-fish, and he does that dny after day
without particular discouragement. But
what a lack of patience if we do not imme
diately succeed in soul-catching. We aro
apt to give it up and say: "I will never try
again." Into all our nets we -need to weave
all along the edge, and all through tho cen
ter, great, long, stout threads ot Christian
patience How patient God has been m ith
us! Can we not be patient with our fellow s?
Stay In the Gospel Boat.
They mended their nets where they w ore,
in tho ship. "Oh," says some one, "I mean
to get my net mended, and I will go down to
tho public library7and I will sea what tho
ft m rm i mi niiiirt ii iitiii itiniiilfft
scientists say about evolution and about
'the survival of the fittest, and I will read
up -what the theologians say about advanced
thought. I will leave the ship awhile, and
1 will go ashore and stay there till my net Is
mended." Do that, my brother, and you will
have no net loft. Instead of their helping
vou mend your net they will steal the pieces
that remain. Better stay in the Gospel boat,
where you will have all the means for mend
ing your net. AVhat are they, do you askt I
answ or all von need you have where you are;
namely, a Bible and a place to pray. The
more you study evolution, and adopt what
is called advanced thought, the bigger fool
you ill be. Stay in the ship and mind your
net. This is where James, the son of Zebe
dee, and John, his brother, stayed. That i3
wncro an wno get meir nets menaea stay.
l notice tnat an wno leave tne gospei m
oat
1 co ashore to mentt their nets stay inere.
Or if they try again to fish they do not catch
anything. Get out of the gospel boat and go
up into tne worm to get your nee menaeu,
and you will live to see the day when you
will feel like the man who, having forsaken
Christianity, sighed "I would give 1,000 to
feel as I did in 1820." The time trill come
when you would be willing to give 1,000 to
feel as you did in 1S9L These men who havo
given up their old religion cannot help you a
bit. It is my opinion that the most of thoso
ministers who gave up the old religion aro
in search of notoriety. They do not succeed
in nttranMntr mimli Attention. Thev are
tired of obscurity. They must do something
to attract attention, so they sit down on tho

Afflicted With Theological Fidgets.
These dear brethren of all denominations,
afflicted with theological fidgets, had better
go to mending nets instead of breaking
them. Before they break up tho old religion
and try to foiston us anew religion, letthem
go through some great sacrifice for God that
will prove them worthy of such a work, tak
ing the advice of Talleyrand to a man who
wanted to upset the religion of Jesus Christ
and start a new one, when he said: "Go and
be crucified and then raise yourself from tho
gravo the third day!" Those who propose to
mend their nets by secular and skeptical
books are like a man who has just one week
for fishing, and six of those days he spends
in reading "Isaak Walton's Complete An
gler," and "Wheatley's Bod and Line," and
"Scott's Fishing in Northern Waters," and
"Pullman's Vado Mecum of Fly Fishing for
Trout," and then on Saturday morning, his
last day out, goes to the river to ply his art,
but that day the fish will not bite, and late
on Saturdav night he goes home with empty
basket and a disappointed heart. Slean-
w hile a man who never saw a big library in
all his life has that week caught with an old
fishinsr tackle enoueh to supply his own
table and the table of all his neighbors, and
enough to salt down in barrels for the long
winter that wilf soon come In. Alas! alas!
If w hen the Saturday night of our life drops
on us. It shall bo found that we have spent
our time in the libraries of worldly philos
ophy, trying to mend our nets, and we have
only a few souls to report as brought to God
through our instrumentality, while some
humble gospel fisherman, his library made
up of a Bible and an almanac, shall come
home laden with the results, his trophies
the souls within is miles oi nis log caoin
meeting house.
But do not spend your time fishing with
hook and line. Why did not James the son
Ul .eutrueu sifc mii wig . wuw, ct
hanging over the lake, and with a long polo
and a worm on tho hook dipped into the
wave wait for some mullet to swim up and be
caught? Why did not Zebedee spend his
afternoon trying to catch one eel? No, that
work was too slow. These men were not

mnndintr n hook and line, they were mend
ing their nets. So let the church of God not
be content with having here one soul and
the next month another soul brought into
tho kingdom. Sweep all tho seas with nets,
scoop nets, seine nets, drag nets, all-encom-
fiasslng nets, and take the treasures in by
mndreds and thousands and millions, ana
nations be born in a day, and the hemi
spheres quake with the tread of a ransoming
God.
AN ACTIVE WEEK IN OIL.
GOOD "WELLS AND SHADT WILDCATS
WHICH HATE COME IN.
Activity AH Along the. Line, and More of It
in View Wild wood and McCurdy About
Equal in Operations Reports From
Other Fields.
The past week has not been a dull one by
any means in the oil business. Thore have
been several surprises in the Allegheny
pools. The indications are that there will
be several more before the present week is
over. The W. W, Mclntyre, in the southern
spur at Wildwood, has created a new in
terest in that part of the field, and will no
doubtbe the cause of much activity before
the 1st of June. The No. 4, on
tho
L. P.
Peebles, which is now showing for a good
well, is also the reason for tho start
ing of several wells in the vicin
ity. Tho English well, beyond Per
rysville, was a surprise, a surprise
becauso it had been reported to be good for
from 50 to 100 barrels a day, and then
dropped off to almost nothing. One of tho
biggest surprises, or rather disappoint
ments, was Captain Grace's well on the Doty
acre in tho Moon field. A few feet on one side
of it is a good sized 40-barrel well and direct
ly opposflc, in a southwestern direction, is a
100-barrcler.
The McCurdy pool is looming up in first-
class style and lias already made fortunes

The McDonald pool has nothing of a sur
prising nature, but a number of rigs are go
ing up. These will be completed by the first
of the month, when tho activity In that re
gion will be sufficient to lend to it no small
amount of interest.
There was a report current last evening
that tho well on the McGregor farm, two and
one-half miles cast of Verona, which is be
ing drilled by the Equitable Gas Company,
was making 20 barrels an hour. The report
could not be confirmed. As this well was
down only 2,250 feet last Thursday and
w ould have to be drilled 200 feet deeper be
fore getting tho sand, tho rumor was gener
ally discredited. It is 1,500 feet northwest of
the Stoner fnrm gasser, which made a show

That our own make $10 suit
can be matched anywhere
else for the money; they can't;
and we know exactly what we
are talking about when we
say it; the only way to prove
superiority is by comparison;
the more thorough you com
pare the more completely
will the superior quality of
our own make clothing be
established. You are at lib
erty to regard this assertion
as part of a contract which
we .make with you on pur
chasing, and we will keep
every syllable of it to the let
ter.. Can we say anything
FAIRER THAN THAT. Jacksons'
never go back on any an
nouncement they make in
their ads. Our Suit sale
continues a marked success.
Our own make suits at
$io, $12, $15 and $18
are sought after by thous
ands of eager buyers.
Our special guarantee to
keep such suits in repair free
of charge proves very satis
factory. We have no patent
on this, our own idea, but we
are pretty sure no house in
this city can or dare warrant
to keep the kind of" clothing
they sell in repair for any
time. We do it cheerfully
whenever it is wanted, which
rarely occurs with our goods,
