J. 1.. Tiffany, editor of the Xleholson F.xumlner, pre sented tli." treasurer's report, which also showed a healthy condition In the af fairs of the society. The question box was opened and the followins question placed before the meeting: "Whut is your idea eoncern iiiK amusements, und how far should the church support them'."' llev. F. A. Hlsbee, of Philadelphia, opened the dis cussion and at'Kued that It was the duty of the churches to provide attractive and harmle.-samuseinoiits for the youni; men to counteract the prevalent Im moral attractions. Hew C. W. Powell, pastor of All Soul's, took a broad view of the question, and said that it was unquestiouuly the duty of all churches to provide amusements for the youns-r members of their cvntfi'eKUtiotis, and further to establish means where all youni; men. whether church members or not, could lind some means of passing their evening free from the contamina tion of saloons and other resorts which welcome, with open arms, the youni; man whose time hangs heavily. Plea for omit; Men. The reverend gentleman made a pow erful appeal on behalf of the youn.i; men who. beset by temptations on either hand, have no opportunity for social companionship in aa atmosphere contre niul and at the same time of an elevat ing tendency. The question was dis cussed at some length, and the general drift nf the speeches were favorable In repurdini; it as the duty of ull churches to providemeans for the recre ation of the rising generation. On Sat urday evening an excellent musical pro-gramm-' was provided and a crowded audience showed their hearty apprecia tion of the efforts of the musicians. Yesterday morning a large congrega tion was attracted by the announce ment that Kev. Frederick A. Bishee, "f the Church of the Messiah. Philadel phia, would preach a special sermon, In the course of his remarks the rever end gentleman said: "I'nlversalists never grow old, so it Is easy to assume that we are all young people here today, no matter what may be the condition of our heads; so it is very appropriate that we should, on the occasion of this convention of young people, devote this sermon very large ly to the Interest of this organization. There is one group of men to which I want to call your attention, and that is a group of Interested men and Interest ed churches within the I'nlversallst de nomination itself. Men and organiza tions that have grown up within the last H'O years, strong, vigorous, seem ing to embody all that Is necessary to continue life, yet theresprings up In the midst of this last group a little sprout of life, and there are some In this group, who have questioned what will this tiling amount to? it has in It ihe ele ments of strength, of endurance, and of growth, and today, after only a very few years have passed, we rejoice In the growth, the promise, the present beauty of the Young People's Christian union. "What are the conditions necessary to the growth of tills sprout that Is growing up In our denomination? Men have tried in the past to make different churches grow, different religious or ganizations grow, by rooting them In their own opinions, or in the opinion of others. They have tried to make them grow by rooting them In what we called "creed," but all creeds are human and we have found that all creeds are built on exceedingly shallow ground, where there is not much depth, and when the Keed is put Into that ground because It has not much depth it feels the heat quickly, the seed springs up and grows, but, because it has no depth, It withers away. There can be no possible endur ing growth except that which Is rooted In the eternal truth of (Jod. Spirit of Jcmis Christ. "There is another condition. This sprout needs not only good jrround. It needs watering and this growth of the young people needs a constant watering by the spirit of Jesus Christ. Now all have recognized that as a statement ut truth, but men have Interpreted It In times past foolishly. They have said that to be a Christian means thnt you are to receive the spirit of Jesus Christ, and that you nre thereby to be made over after the fashion of some one else; that lo be a Christian means that we are all to be run Into one mould; that we are nil to go out In one shape; that there Is to lie uniformity and then Christianity. Now, I do not find that such Is the law of nature. I look Into a garden nnd I see that there are growths of many kinds. There Is tin rose and the Illy and the violet; there Is the palm, there Is the grass grow ing. The gardener does not put one kind of water at the root of the rose nnd another at the root of the Illy, but It Is the same water that flows to tho root of each and every plant in the garden. Ho, I thing, pouring the Spirit of Christ In this great garden of hu manity to the roots of life, we will find thnt it has not made nil people alike, and It is not designed to, but It brings each one to his or her own pe culiar perfection. "Another condition Is that It must have room to grow In the Invlgoratlon of freedom; It must have room to grow In the field of reason; It Is not to be circumscribed; not to be held In; It Is to be a movement that Is free, and a movement that has liberty, not license. A great many religious growths have been cruHhed In times past, crowded out of existence, choked out. There Is a need today In all religious forces that we recognize a changed condition of life and base our religious conclusions upon tho carefully made premises of our reason we must know why n thing Is so. It Is simply folly for any one to go before tho modern audlenco with all the mysteries of modern the ology .or to preach that you must be lieve this In order to be Huved, or fur ther to say, that If you do not believe this you cannot go to heaven when you die. They lire not scared uny I more. Things We Cannot I ndorstand. "The Until condition of growth 1st that It be baptized constantly In the tinn light of tlod's love. In the very na ture of things there are a good many tilings In this life that we cannot un derstand, no matter how high the aver age Intelligence may have gone, until we see things as l!od sees them; there must be a great many mysteries. We will all come to stand sometime in the presence of that great mystery that we call death. We are confronted with one of life's great mysteries that we cannot reason out, and there conies Into our life the opportunity for the action of that great force, faith, conll- dence and trust. I "lttch as you are in the food of unl- versal thought and uplrlt, outside these I are the great multlludea who have j fulled to get satisfaction ill other churches who are Htarvlng for spiritual j life. Will you sit quietly III your homes and let them starve. We have had one ebb and now 1 see the oncom ing Hood, and I rejoice that on the summit of a wave lire to be seen the bright, hopeful, strong fences of our young pooplo.hearing the banner of thu Young People's Christian union." ki iitiiors TOPICS. llev. 1..

Tomorrow the ntmuul spring munici pal election will be held. There nre lively lights for council In Home of the wards, but the fact that no city olllccs lire to be lilled robs tho contest of much of Us interest for ibe aviquge citizen, who generally looks upon u ward olllce as something very ItiHlgnlllcant, In reality these ward olllccs are of the highest Importance and voters should exercise tho greatest care In lllling (hem. An unscrupulous, small brained nnd mercenary councilman can cause un told damage to the i lly, and In like manner bud election ofllccrs can nullify the wlHh of the voters as expressed by their ballots. It Is of great moment, therefore, that all classes of citizens should take an active Interest in Tues day's election to the end that good counellmen and election olllcers may be selected. In the First ward David lleese Is the licpubllcaii nominee for common coun cil, and John J. l.oftus, assistant fore man at t he icggett's Creek shaft, is running us an Independent. They are waging a most stubborn light. I'p In the Third ward, however, Is where the real fighting is being done. James tirier, the present Incumbent, James (iallagher, and Thomas Jlobau, all Democrats, are at it in the most earnest manner. They are making one of the liveliest campaign the ward has known for theoineefur common council. On the Wefct side. lilehard 1). Thomaa has no opposition for common council in the Fifth ward.

Captain Janus Molr will be elected to succeed himself as common council man from the Ninth ward, and so will I'M ward Itobinsou from the Eleventh. They have no opposition. In the Thir teenth ward C. S. Seamuns, the Re publican nominee, and Attorney II. B. Reynolds, the Democratic candidate are waging a lively battle. As the ward has a big Republican majority, Mr. Seamans should be an easy win ner. He would make a valuable addi tion to the common council. Joseph Oliver has opposition In the Fifteenth wurd for the olllce of com mon council to which he aspires, lie Is the regular Republican nominee, and will unquestionably be elected. Kugene Davis, Republican, and Lorenz Zcidlcr, Democrat, are contesting for the seat of Charles ). Schadt, of tho Sixteenth ward, in the common coun cil. Mr. Schiidt resigned when elected county treasurer. In the Seventeenth Ward. Select nnd common counellmen are to be chosen III the Seventeenth ward. The vacancy in the select from that ward was caused by the resignation of Frank II. demons after he was chosen sheriff of the county. Tho Republi cans have nominated J. A. Lansing for select council, nnd Luther Keller for common council. They ure unopposed. There Is a lively light in the Nine teenth ward between P. J. Illckey, the present Incumbent, who Is u Dem ocrat, and Conrad Linn, a Republican, for common council. P.oth men nre waging a determined battle. Another llerce buttle Is on In the Twentieth ward between T. J. Coyne and M. J. Cahlln for the scat In the select council made vacant by the resignation of Alexander T. Council, who now represents the Second dis trict In the legislature. In the Twenty first ward Thomas Norton Is u candi date to succeed himself In the common council and Is uppoised In a vigorous manlier. AlJcrmnn of the l ighth. One of the liveliest battles In the city Is being fought In the Eighth ward be tween WllllumS. Millar and John Fitz slininons for the olllce of alderman. Until men are making an enersetle canvass. There Is nlso a very stubborn fight In progress In the Fifteenth ward for th olllce of alderman. Edward Fiddler, Republican, nnd Isaac.
