SLATIX AXD MITCHELL SAIL AWAY
All arrangements have been made for the
great championship football game which
takes place at Recreation Park Saturday
nest afternoon. The contending teams are
the Pittsburgs'and the Sew Castles, and to
say that each side is confident of -victory is
Stating the fact mildly. Each team have
yet to put up 5200, but there is until Satur
day to do that The money, however, will
probably be put up to-day or to-morrow.
The conditions are to the effect that the
losing team besides losing the 5200 shall pay
for 12 gold medals which are to go to the
winning team and their captain. The
medals were received yesterday and are in
Kaufmanns' window. Each team have
already deposited with the sporting editor
of this paper the price of the medals and
the winners will have their money returned.
The Contesting Teams.
Teat the contest will be of the liveliest
kind there is no doubt, as tBere is a bitter
rivalry between the two teams and the title
of the "Western Pennsylvania champion
ship is at stake, and that means consider
able on account of the growing popularitv
of the game. Both clubs have selected their
teams, and they are as follows:
Tittslmrz. Position. Xew Castle.

J. Matthews, J LG.Woods,Cap
As will be seen the teams are well known
and each player is a bona fide member of
his respective club. This is a pleasing
Icature as it would prevent any trouble on
that point. 3Ir. J. J. Kelly, or the Chica
go Cricket Club, has been, according to
agreement, notified to come and referee the
gome and wili be here Saturday morning.
He Is Known Here.
lie played here recently on the Chicago
team and is deemed a capable man. He is
likelv to have a busy time of it, as the
grounds do not promise to be in the best of
condition.
The interest in the contest among the
near-by towns is considerable, judging from
the inquiries that have reached this office
concerning it. A very large force of foot
ball admirers from Uniontown have given
notice of their coming. The contest will
Mart promptly at 3:30 and it is a "rain or
shine'' affair. The articles of agreement
are signed and must be lived up to.
There is sure to be considerable specula
tion on the event and altogether it will be
even more important locally than the recent
game between the Chicagos and the Pitts
burgs. There is certainly 'more money at
stake this time than was'the case when the
"Western players were here. It is to be
hoped" that the better team will win.

trouble. Then Slavin found an opportunity
to pick a quarrel with Kelly regarding John's
timing at the Kilrain-Mavm ficht before the
Granite Club in Iloboken last year.
"1 don't think you acted square, Kelly,"
yelled Slavin.

take. But if you are talking of honor and
icputation I will stake mine against yours.
It you can find $20 000 backing lor Vour
honor I will find $500,000 for mine. In "fact,
yicrsonally I don't think you are on the level
3 ourselt."
Then there was a small rint, but the whole
f tarty were soon put out. Major McLaugh

river, states that this spring will witness the
greatest flood ever known in the histcry of that
stream. He says that from President, near here,
to the headwaters of the Allegheny on either side
and extending miles back into the. country, lhe
ground Is covered with from 6 to 20 Inches of bnow,
and when a warm spell or-threc or fourdavs strUes
this great watershed the deluge will be upon the
Half, and all oil wells, dwellings aud mills on thn
banks of the river will he swept from the face of
the earth. Mr. Howe savs. In contradiction to the
Weather Bureau, that all signs point to a sudden
thaw within the next few days, and advises all
lumbermen, oil producers and mill men to prepare
to get in out of tne wet.

DOCTRINE OP THE CHURCH.
Rev. George Hodges Talks on the Tenets
of the Episcopalians A Clear Distinc
tion as to What Is Essential and What
Is Not.
The second lecture of Eev. Mr. Hodge3
conrse on the Episcopal Church was deliv
ered last evening to a large and interested
congregation. The subject was "Tbe Doc
trine of the Church." The speaker said:
One of the great purposes for which the
church exists is to do for all of us what
Philip did for the man of Ethiopia. The
Church is meant to be our guide. The book
which we are reading is tho book of nature,
nnd human experience, tho book of life. As
Philip showed the Ethiopian that
the heart of the book of Isaiah was Christ,
so It is the teaching mission of the church
to show that all Christian doctrine centers
about, Christ. What we are in search of is
tho formal statement which the Episcopal
Chnreh, that portion of the great bodv of
Christian believers, about which yte ought
to Uno w tbe most, makes of the elements of
the Christian faith. This statement is found
in the two creeds, the Apostles and Nicene.
All that the church requires anybody to be
lieve is contained within the brief compass
of these two ancient symbols. This choice
of the two creeds as the sufficient statement
oftife Christian fait!;, makes a most lm-
Sortant distinction in the matter of doctrine
etween the essential and tho unessential,
and the permanent and the transitory, una
between the beginning aud the end.
A Clear Distinction.
In the flrst place the Episcopal Church
makes a clear distinction between what is
essential and what is not essential in Chris
tian doctrine. This is not a difference in
truth, but importance. The Episcopal
Church teaches a great many truths. Every
page of the prayer book is full of teaching
as to the method of conducting the service,
and to all this, ns tending to the preserva
tion of reverence and order, the Church at
taches importance, Dut not the chief import
ance. Nobody who comes into the
Church is required to believe any
thing in particular about ritual. Some
other truths are in regard to theology.
Such are the 39 articles, which correspond
exnetly with the Westminster Confession of
Faith and the decrees of the Council of
Tient,exceptinthis,thattheyare prescribed
for information, not for required accept
ance. Thero they we, and true they ure.
But no member of the Episcopal Church is
ever asked if he believes them: neither does
any minister of the Episcopal Church set his
siguaturo to them. Truths of both thefte
classes nie alwavs open to revision. Even,
the prayer book and the 39 articles are
not vital parts or the Episcopal Chtirch,
but the two creeds are, as was shown by the
action of the Bishops nt the Chicago Con
vention, and afterward at the Lambeth Con
ference. ,
The second distinction is between the per
manent and the transitory. Facts are per
manent. Theories are transitory. The two
creeds are simple, unelaborated and unar
gued statements of facts. It is noticeable
that the words "trinity, incarnation" and
"atonement" nowhere occur in either of the
creeds. The facts of all three ure set forth,
but no explanation of any of them is under
taken. That is one of tbe reas6ns for the intel
lectual hospitality of the Episcopal Church.
This blessed discrimination which sets the
simple creeds above all philosophies about
them makes impossible to welcome all man
ner of new truth from every side, as a beep
anu not a iiiuarance, as an increasing con
tribution to our better understanding of the
facts. Theory niter theory lias given way to
deepor spiritual knowledge, and will give
way in futuie, but facts never give way;
and the Church holds to the great creeds.
ana to tuese only, ana giows witn the
growth of man. .
The third discrimination is the difference
between the beginning and the end. The
Apostles creed is tho baptismal symbol
standing at the entrance, and the Nicene
creed is the sufficient statement of the
Christian faith, which is what is meant by
the difference between the beginning and
the end.
The Heart of the Creeds.
The doctrine of tbe Church then is to be
looked for in tho two creeds. The heart of
the creeds is Christ. The middle'iart of
both creeds tell us who Christ was and what
be did. The first part and the last tell us
what Christ taught ,
The meaning of two or three articles of
the creed is open to misunderstanding.
Ho descended into hell." The word trans
lated "hell" is hades, which means the place
of departed spirits. The word which means
the place of punishment is gehenna. Tne
article is a strong statement of the reality of
the death of Christ. Associated also with
this article is the suggestion by many pas
sages of Holy Scripture that heaven does
not follow immediately after death, even to
the faithful, but that all souls wait iu para
dise till the kingdom of God comes. "The
communion of saints" is another article in
which this belief finds statement. "The for
giveness of sins" does not mean a change in
tho sinner's condition as regards his sin.
Effect must follow cause. The change is in
the relation between the sinner and tho
Heavenly Father. The sinner has turned
away from God. But when he turns
back and loves God again, ho is
forgiven. There is again mutual
love between God and the sinner.
"Tho resurrection Of the body" is to be in
terpreted according to the sense of Holy
bcripture. God will give us another body, a
spiritual body, and yet in identity the same
body as u plant and the seed out of which it
grows are essentially the same.
It remains to consider what is the founda
tion of our belief In these and all other
articles of the creeds. Christ is not only
the heart of the cieeds, but He is the
supremo teacher upon whose assurance we
rely when doubts assail us. Without the
testimony of Christ we could deduce the ex
istence and the power of God. But for His
fatherhood wo need the testimony of some
one who can speak witli knowledge and
authority, and we find such a one iu Christ.
And the same is truo of such facts us tint
God will torsive our sins and raise us up
to eternal Hie. Our acceptance of such
truths as thee comes fiom our faith in
Christ. And Christian faith is not different
in its nature from any other kind of sTaich.
It is, first of all, supreme trust in a person,
and then, naturally following upon that, is
an assured acceptance of .the truth of what
that person saysf The Church sets the reve
lation, the assurance of Christ, in the two
creeds, and there aro no brgumentsset down
beside it.
The next lecture of the course will be de
livered next Wednesday evening at 8
o'clock. The subject is the "Discipline of
the Church."
T. W. Phillips Ont for Congress.
T. W. Phillips, of New Castle, was at the
Duquesne yesterday, He is a candidate lor
Congress in the Lawrence-Butler district.
The other counties are Beaver and Mercer.
The Bepublican convention will be held in
New Castle April 10. Mr. Phillips says up
to date he has had no opposition in ueaver,
Butler and Lawrence counties. There are
two candidates in Mercer county, but they
are not antagonistic to him. The general
opinion is that Mr. Phillips will be nomi
nated by the Itepublicans without opposi
tion. Each county has Iu votes, and, as
Lawrence, Beaverand Butler will probably
be for bim, it is conceded in the district
that he will be nominated. Mr. Phillips
was in the three-cornered fight two years
ago against Major McDowell, of Sharon,
when both Bepublican candidates were de
feated. The Ballot I. iw lit tbe Last Tribunal.
