r- -''",-.-. V . THE P3TTSBim& DISPATCH,- MONDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1891, FOR THE HOSPITALS. Collections Taken Up in All the Local Churches Yesterdav. THE CHILDHOOD OP JESUS CHRIST A Host Convincing Proof of the Truth of the Bible Records. TETEEAXS-HOLD A MEMORIAL SERVICE Testerday was Hospital Sunday in the local churches, arid the collections taken Vere in behalf of those institutions. The people generally were in a generous mood, ndthe receipts so far as reported amounted to a gratif ying figure. Christmas an d 2ew Tear topics were the ones most discussed in the pulpiis. Bev. E. It. Donehoo, of the Eighth Pres byterian Church, West End, took for his morning subject, "The Childhood of Jesus." The text was, "Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man. " Xuke 3-52. He said: "The childhood of Jesus is a theme of which no Christian can ever weary. AVhile the story, as narrated by the evangelists, is comprised in very brief compass, with nothing of the awe-inspiring or miraculous about it, it yet possestes a charm which neiter time nor circumstances C3never efface. The beauty and glorv of Christianity, as it is also its exclusive" distinction trom all other re ligions, is the great attention which it be stows upon childhood. The mythol ogies of the Greek and Eoman ig nore childhood. Their gods never paM through the experiences of child hood, but make their first appearance as fully grown ill form and mental constitu tion never manifesting growth or develop ment. Mohammedanism has nothing to say of childhood, while its sacred book possesses no charm for the youthful mind. Chris tianity endears itself to all because of the importance which it attaches to childhood, and the lessons it brings to the young. Jesus Christ never could have been what He is to mankind had His coming been deferred to the full period of manhood, had He, in stead of becoming a helpless infant in Bethlehem's manger, burst upon the world in the full glory and strength of mature Hie. "And this tome is one of the convincing evidences of the sacred records, that they did not picture to the mind the great deliv erer of mankind as coming as aanighty con queror to put down His enemies and estab lish His throne with all the pomp and cir cumstance to be expected of such a charac ter. His mother was just such a mother as became her to whom as committed tne training of Him who was destined to be the world's hope and deliverance from sin. From her first appearance in the Sacred rarrative until she stood at the foot of the cross a silent witness to the closing scene of the great drama of man's redemption, she continued to sustain that beautv of charac ter, and that true womanliness which have invested her brow with a halo of light outdazzling in its luster all the fan cies of poet or artist in their noblest imag inations as belonging to the mother of Jesus. This also we know: "that no spot in all the Holv Land was better adapted for the home of the child Jesus than that in which Joseph and Mary dwelt. Xazareth, the "Eose of Galilee," was the fairest, most romanticallv beautiful spot in all that land, with its greatly sloping hills and flowery plains, with nature in its most attractive garb spread out before Him as His dailv teacher." R LXGIXG OUT THE OLD. 3tev. Charles Edward Locke Meditates on the Clrsing Year The Sermon Was an Unusually Sad and Impressive, But it Was Well Iteceiied. "Closing Year Meditations A Complete Life," was the subject of Eev. Charles Ed v ard Locke's evening service. The text was taken from John, x, 10: "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." As this was the List Sunday of the old year, the Ecrmon was appropriate, and the large audience listened nith great interest to his words. He said: "With v. hat increasing rapidity the years fly! Tes, faster than the weaver's shuttle. In the twilight of 1891, a ques tion presents itself: "What is life? Is it only a vapor that appearth fora little while and then vanishes? Is it only what it seems: a cradle, a grave, a smile, a eons; a sigh, a glistening highway, a dark valley; a chill, a sealed fcCDulchre0 It is more than this. Solomon declares all is vanity. Plato is in doubt as to whether it is better to be or not to be, but these definitions do not satisfy. "A gallant knight of truth enters the arena and startles the assembled multitude with the shout. 'lam the way, the truth and the life. I am come that ye may have life.' He follows up the marvelous declara tion by a spotless life, and by bursting the bars of the grave and leading death captive, removing its sting and turning its victory to defeat. Through this triumphant Jesus the problem of life is solved. "Through Christ man is to subdue him tclt 'He that ruleth bis ovin spirit is greater than he that taketh a city. ' Man is transformed by contact witli Christ. Through Jesus the human gains access to the divine and partakes of the God nature. Life is made complete in Christ because of the prevailing principle that all things are made to work together for good, and all of life's outward circumstances are but purify ing processes. "Best of all, through Jesus immortality is a blissful reality. The great season of life is the life beyond. Death is revealed to be not a blind alley, a tunnel, a cata combe, but a golden portal radiant with in creasing brightness. ManR craving for im moralitv is proof of its reality. The ox has its downward load and is satisfied with a green pasture; man has the upward look, and reaches after his Father God. God only calms man's troubled souk The hypo thesis that God is and immortality awaits the weary traveler, bring sweet peace and undisturbed rest; therefore in the closing hours of the old jear we accept Christ as our life, solving forever this problem of the ages, and press forward that our lies mav reach their completion in the Christ life." Mr. Locke closed his sermon with the legend of the Holy Grail, as related by Lowell in his "Visions of Sir LaunfaL" BECEIVED ON PE0BATI0N. Ilev. C. V. Wilson's Discourse at the Emory Methodist Episcopal Church. At the Emory M. E. Church the morning service included the reception, on proba tion, ot a large number of new members. Bev. C V. WiKon discoursed on "The Purpo"e of Christ's Coming." After read ing his text, from I. Timothy, 1-15, and introducing the subject, the minister said: "It would be a sorry return for the great gift ot God to forget the purpose for which Christ camo. Paul said it was to save sin ners of whom he was chief. This assertion makes it apparent that all are sinners. 'There's none that doeth good, no, not one.' This is tl.e Lord's estimate of the condition of mankind when He says that "He gave His o'lly begotten Sou that whosoever be lieveth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life." We must accept this divine estimate of man's condi tion. When the captain of a ship finds his vessel in a sinking condition, and all aboard of her must take to the lifeboats, it is not for the passengerb to dispute his statement, but listen to his advice and be saved. It is not for us to question when God says, 'The world lieth in uickediicts," and sends His Son to redeem it. "This truth of redemption through Jesus n as so great that Paul did not comprehend it for some time after his conversion. The more he considered it the greater became the mvsterr ot uoas love. "The first sight of any great object or any great truth is often disappointing. It is only by study and frequent contempla tion that "their greatness dawns upon us. So men look at the great salvation in Jesus Christ. God manifest in the flesh is nothing more than other forms of religion, to be classed with Buddhism or Mohammedan ism. It is only by study, by thoughtful contemplation that the magnitude and the beauty of the Christian religion can be seen. Jesus is God manifest in the flesh He is Emanuel God with us. It is this truth which we should not forget: Jesus came into the world to save sinners." A MEMORIAL SERVICE. Members or the C A. K. Gather to Do Honor to Departed Comrades Carnegie Hall the Scene of a Beautiful and Impressive Tribute. The twelfth annual memorial service by Lieutenant James M. Lys-le Post 128, G. A. R., was held in Carnegie Hall, Alle gheny, yesterday afternoon. The service was a tribute of respect to the memory of comrades who had died during the last year. These were: James Carlton, Com pany B, Fifth Pennsylvania Heavy Artil lery, on March 17; Peter Schwinn, Com pany A, Thirty-seventh Illinois Infantry, on April 13; David P. "Williamson, Com pany F, Eighty-seventh Pennsylvania Volunteers, on Xovember 5; Adam Ehey, Company H, First Virginia Cavalry, oj June 10; Jacob Ricliter, Company C, Sixth Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, on August 9; Edward Hoffman, Company M, Fifth Pennsylvania Cavalry, on July 21. On the platform at the hall were six chairs draped in black, but almost covered with flowers, and a dove surmounting all bore a ribbon on which -was printed the names of the lite comrades. The exercises opened with a dirge on the organ by F. A. Eastj-followed by the opening of the post by S. V. C James Bafferty. Chaplain Holmes conducted the re sponsive, and the forming of the square was made by Post 128 and visiting comrades. Bev. Mr. Miller offered prayer and the Scripture was read by Chaplain Holmes. Miss Irene Sample sang beautifully a solo, "Give Me the Means of Faith," and Dr. G. "W. Bryant, Post 313, Department of Mis souri, spoke in an eloquent manner of the past and of its impress on the present and the good that everywhere is evident from the war. Bev. Mr. Miller pronounced the benediction. The choir from the Arch Street M. E. Church rendered the music. Among the posts present were Kos. 88, 151, 162 in bodv, and delegations from Posts 157, 259, 230, 236, 155 and 117. STILL OBSEEVIHG CHRISTMAS. Music a Teature or the Day at the Shadyilde Presbyterian Church. Christmas services were observed at the Shadyside Presbyterian church and the in terior was appropriately decorated with evergreens. At the morning service the pastor, Dr. B, S. Holmes, delivered an ex cellent sermon on consecration, taking as his text Matthew ii., 1L In the afternoon the Sunday-school scholarsmet in the church and held a Christmas service of song, one of the most enjoyable services of the kind ever held by that Sundav school. At the even ing service Dr. Holmes preached on "The Great Sign," taking as his text Luke ii., 12, "And this shall be a sign unto you; ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger." An important feature of the morning and evening services was the singing by the quartet choir of several appropriate selec tions. The morning programme included "O Zion That Telleth Glad Tidings" and "There Were Shepherds," by the choir.and an alto solo, "The Birthday of a King," by Miss Margaret Fraser. In the evening the choir rendered "Te Deum Laudamus" and "O Holy Xight," and Mr. William Sntley a baritone solo entitled "Bethlehem." THE GOODNESS OF GOD. Her. W. F. KicharCson Points to the Bless ings of the Almighty. Bev. W. F. Bichardson spoke last night on God's care for man. His text was: 'Thou crowned the year with Thy good ness." He spoke of the bountiful grace of God, and said though every desire had not been granted during the year everything had been given that God had deemed best His people should have. Said he: God sends His sorrows, but even in them there is a goodness, though we know it not. He sends the chilling frost that it may mel low the ground for next summer's flowers. He clothes the earth in snow, but it is as a blanket to keep alive vegatation that it may bloom anew. "When we are weakest God is strongest in us. God's blessings may come to us in the death of a dear one, or clothed in sorrow, yet we somehow see His good ness." THE POWER OF MEMOET. Bev. W. Arnndel Talks to the People of Trinity on This Subject. Bev. Alfred "W. Arundel, of Trinity, held a special service last night, as it was the last Sunday in the year. After a pretty opening service he preached an interesting discourse from these words. "I do remem ber my Jaults this dav." He said: "These words came from the Old Testa ment story of Joseph, and as we follow the various fortunes of this Hebrew it crows with interest." He then graph ically and pleasantly told the story of Joseph in his prison cell and on down until the time he interpreted the dream of Pharaoh. He said the story strongly illustrated the power of memory, and the power of the law of associations. Services at the Connly JaiL Bev. Mr. Whiteside conducted the regular religious services at the jail yesterday, and -was assisted by an excellent choir of singers. THE BBIDEGE00M IN JAIL. An Oakdale "Wedding Postponed on Ac- count of the Law. Joseph Williams, of Oafcdalc, is in jail awaiting trial for keeping a speak-easy. In the meantime his bride-elect is sorrowing at home over his unaccountable absence. Wil liams was to have been married to a young Oakdale lady on Christmas, but when the time for the ceremony came there was no groom. After an hour or two of waiting the guests dispersed. The intended bride did not know that Williams had been arrested for keeping a speak-easy, and he had been hustled off to jail so fast he had no time to send her word. She was left alone :n her sorrow, believing he had deserted her. Until his case is over there will he no wedding. Arrested Tor Assaulting Captain Bell. Edward "Wendell was arrested last even ing in Allegheny on a charge of aggravated assault and battery, preferred by Captain J 15elL An attempt will b made to-day to arrest Martin ilonahan on the same charge. On Christmas night Captain Bell was called in to quell a disturbance in "Witmore's pool room. As he entered several young men assaulted him. He was kicked severely and struck across the back with a billiard cue. "Wendell and Jlonahan are said to have been engaged in the attack upon him. The former is 18 years old, and the latter 23. Both live in Manchester. FOR ABUSE; OF ALCOHOL Use Horsford's Acid Thospliate. Dr. W. E.

That Country Only Bluffins at the United States, While Preparing FOR TROUBLE WITH ARGENTINE. Torpedo Eoats to Play a Prominent Fart in the Jfext South American War. INCREASED ORDERS ISSUED FOR TO WDER i So many conflicting reports about war with Chile have been circulated in the last few weeks that the people would be glad for definite information one way or the ofher. Dr. Stephen H. Enimens, the in ventor of emmensite and galbite or smoke less powder, was seen at the Baltimore and Ohio depot yesterday afternoon on his way to West Virginia to look into the copper and nickel deposits of the State. It was the doctor who furnished the Chilean insurgents with the smokeless powder, which opened the way for them to gain a signal, but bloody victory over the forces of Balmaceda. "Have you received any orders for pow der recently from Chile?" was asked. "Xo," he replied, "but I expect a com munication sub fosa in the near future. In tfie event of war with Chile you would hear of some torpedoes doing destructive work with emmensite, but not against our coun try, my boy. Chile arrayed against the United States .is different from Chileans fighting among themselves. , Harmon j Expected to Belgn. "But my latest advices are that the present strained relations between the two countries will soon be harmonized. I can give you a pointer that will be a great item of news and will throw considerable light on the Chilean muddle. Chile's belligerent attitude against the United States is easily ex plained. It is not us, but the Argentine Republic that they are after. Theal Spanish-Indians, as we call them, are play ing a very shrewd game, and completely hoodwinking everybody. Trouble is brew ing between the two South American Re publics. Under the cover of the war-like talk against the Yankees, the Chileans are qnietlv preparing their vessels lor action. It will be given out when they move that their battle ships have gone north along the Pacific to harrass the California coast. In stead of that the navywill move south, and suddenly appear in the harbor of Buenos Ayres. Thus taken by surprise, they hope to teach the Argentine States a valuable lesson." "Do you get your information direct from the Chilean Government?" ''So matter about that," the Doctor re plied, "this is what I mean when I say that I expect to receive further orders for em mensite and smokeless powder from Chile shortly." "Has Uncle Sam increased his orders for powder lately?" Increased Orders for Powder. "Yes, to a considerable extent, but I take it that it will be used entirely for experi mental pnrposes. The Government mav need larger quantities, you know. Still I am not iu a position to answer the question. The powder may be purchased in anticipation of trouble with Chile, and certainly what has been bought for experiments could be stored and used in the event of war. I take no stock in the reports published this morning that we have been negotiating with Peru, and that J the latter country would help us against their old enemv. The .Peruvians have no love for the United States. They feel that if the Americans had been friendly at the right time in their1 struggle with Chile that they never would have been defeated and lost the valuable nitrate beds. The Peru vians are as much afraid "of the Yankees as they are of the -Chileans. 'But what could we do if we went to war with Chile. She has six armored ' battle ships; we have only one finished. If a good sized shell from one of their vessels struck one of our unarmored ships, it would be sure to sink it. One of Chile's battle ships is a match for our whole navy, and could wipe it cut The Chileans know this, and if explains their stubbornness to a very large extent What could prevent them from appearing along the California coast aud levving an indemnity on the people? Pay up now, or we will destroy vour prop erty. We talk about making a demonstra tion of force in South American waters. We couldn't do it if we wanted to. The Americans have themselves to blame for the present condition of .their navy. The Chileans may, if after investigation they discover 'they have ddne wrong, ac knowledge it, and gracefully back down. Our Commerce Destroyers. "True, the Americans are now building several battle ships. Our cruisers were never intended to fight naval battles. They were built to destroy commerce, and they are well adapted for that purpose. All our vessels are supplied with the best guns and equipments, but the boats themselves can't stand hot shot. As for torpedoes, we couldn't use them successfully against a hostile fleet. We haven't the necessary materials and apparatus prepared, and it would take time to make them. JTew York is better off than any of our coast towns. Submarine tunnels have been built in the bay and along the shores for the reception of torpedoes. Gen eral Abbott, who is in charge nt New York, Mipcests for const defense that mink-en hat suggests lor coast aeienses mat sunKen Dat- ici itra ue iucblctu uu mc suure, eauii uuuery to be supplied with 12 mortars. "These guns would be below the surface Land would fire into the air. It would be easy to train them on a ship five or six miles out. The General's idea is to fire all the batteries at one time, throwing into the air for a mile or raoie a bonqust of deadly shells. He figures that some of them would be sure to fall on hostile ships' and destroy them. Our position is humiliating at pres ent, but we "n ill have to stand it until it is remedied." Unknown Bodies at the Morgue. Coroner McDowell has made every effort to discover the identity of two bodies at the morgue, particularly that of the unknown suicide, found two weeks ago in an aban doned oil derrick in Snowden township. Xothing whatever has been learned of him, although the man was apparently well-to-do and came of respectable people. The body will have to be buried in a day or two. Effort is also being made to find somebody who knew the man, John Holland, who hanged himself at the Nineteenth ward station last "Wednesday. It is thought he must have lived near the city, as he was familiar with the Eat End streets. The body is still at the morgue. Officers of the Tildon CInl). At a meeting of the Samuel J. Tilden Democratic Club, on Sunday, December 27, the following officers were elected for the coming term: Thomas F. J. Keating, Pres ident; Lawrence Schott, Vice President; A. E.
