TOLD YCULD BE BETTER

SERMON BY REV. D. 1'. JONES
Delivered Yesterday .Morning la tbe
Tabernacle Church of the West side.
Brimful of Thoagkt oa the
' Every Day Phases of Life.
' "The Way of Life" was the toplo dis
cussed In an interesting manner yes
terday morning by Hev. l. 1. Jones,
pastor of the Tabernacle church. f
the West Side. He took for his text
the words found In Matht-v.', vl, 25. as
follows: "Therefore 1 suy unto, take
no thought for your life, what ye shall
eat or what ye shall Urlnk, nor yet for
your body what he shall put on. Is
not the life more than incut and the
body more than rultnent?" In his dis
course Mr, Jones said:
I do not know of any portion of the Holy
Hook thut contains better exhortations for
young people to inuke a good start In life
thnn the words of our I-onl Jesus Christ
whk'h i have read to you. I trust that
there is no pvrsun in the ooiiKivwit.on
that does rot believe In tho authority of
Christ as n divine teacher, then-fore 111
words will be received as the law of U;hI.
In the days of Chr'st as in our days,
people were greatly troubled In reuard to
the means of life. What shall we eat.
what shall we to drink, and what shall wo
to put on our bodies, were questions very
often usked by the people, and all of their
rffnrls were to obts.n the blessings of
thts life and everything possible was sub
dued to that end. There lire thousands i f
people in our days as they were In the
t'me of the tiiv.it Lender that do not think
of anything more than to have plenty to
eat. to drink and to put on their bodies
without any tvRard to the wants of the
Inward mint. In his public ministry Christ
gave attent'on to the needs of men and
women in this world and tauitht them that
it was rittht for them to think of what
they had to eat. to drink, as well us
w hat they had to put on their bodies,
lino Piot idcl for Hi Needs
He proved to them that God had or
dained, In His great providence, all
th.iik'S in retard to tiie need of 11. s crea
tures worthy of His wisdom. His rower
and of 11; love. "UehoM the birds of the
heaven, that they sow not, neither do
th-y reap, nor tMther Into barns, and
your Heavenly Father feedeth them.
Are not ye of much more value than
they?" Man whom the Lord made the
chief of his itreat palace and lord over
the whole creation, rim to doubt lhat tho
God of love had nothing for him, what a
foolishness.
It's worthy of notice that Christ did
not disregard the good eiTorts of men
and women to make the'r homes the best
they could by overcoming the elreum
stanivs of thi world. He was much
pleased with happy homes. His greatest
respect were given to men of wealth
that were so by the wav of righteousness
and true prosperity. The marly Christ
was In perfect harmony with the efforts
of them that were on their best to take
hold of the opportunities of the times.
He loved the manly man. He was delight
ed with flowers of moral'ty, He was glad
of men and women that were paying their
way, building their houses and doing the
hst of this world, and so Is the spirit of
Chrlstinnlty today.
Put Christ had a great lesson- to teach
to the peoole regarding the way of liv
ing, and It's a lesson that still remains to
the mot of the human race. The ten
dency of the people In His days was to
gain the world and Its wealth without re
rani to the lw of life. Christ taught
them not to be so extremely wth the
wor'd and overdo themselves with thlnss
that tv hsd no reaon to seek ss they
did. "Therefore. I say unto you. take no
thoiieht for yoiir-l'fe. what ye shall eat.
or what ye shall d'ink. nor yt for your
bodv what ye shall put on Is not this
I'fo more thn the food and fhe body than
the re'ment?" You have not the right
Idea of life as a blfssina. It seems to me
that Christ meant the following lessons:
Lessons That Christ Meant.
First, that we should know by the word
of God and by the nature of God s love
toward man that we are not to over-
trouble ourselves regarding he means of
life. Existence is not given to men and
women without laws to protect all of their
needs, the providence of God we should
not doubt. The sun every morning teaches
the lesson, the seasons of -the year can
not fail to do the same to every thought
ful soul. The laws of nature slgnltieth the
same truth. No man can read the Honk
of books without knowing If he wishes to
know that God is providing In abundance
for all ills creatures.
. Wherever may be the cause of poverty
and distress that makes so many of our
fellow men to feel that life is a burden
and not worth to live, it's not In the provi
dence of God. We cannot look up to
heaven and blame H'.m that iiiIoh In right
eousness and love. In hes Jays we have
our barns and storehouses nil full, we
have an abundance of everything that
the human race nee-ls Plenty to eat and
drink, there Is clo Y'it enough In stock
for to have every father and mMber with
all the children In the world in good ap
parel If they wire arranged as they might
to be, and If society would take care of
its way of living. This truth cannot be
denied by any man that has his eyes
fixed upon facts.
Poverty Is not from God, the great d's
tress for bread and meat that Is among
thousands of thousands of mu fellow men
In our days Is not the fault of His provi
dence, but they are the faults of men and
wormn, the most of them are the off
springs of our misdoings and disrevurd f
the laws of humanity and of Christian
principle. On one hand we have men and
women that have no feelings toward any
body outside of themselves. Thiy will eat
and drink the best of the earth with tholr
eyes blind to the neds of their fellow
men. Here we have the oppressor and the
tyrant who stops the plnty of God's
providence in run In Its way to the world.
Hers wo have men and women that do not
care for right, with all of their might
turning every stream to their own mills,
ever when they see their fellow creatures
dying away In distress and want. Here
we have the palaces and the millions of
money, fathers, mothers and children thut
do not know the value of labor by true
effort to obtain the needs of life.
Reverse .Side of Picture.
On the other hand we have men and
women In the lowest state of life With
nothing to l.ve on save what they get
from others, no matter how. Here we
have men and women that will not work
for their dally bread. They would rather
die, but we also have men that are regular
In thtt'r work, having good payment for
their labor, but always In poverty and
want. They cannot pay their way, they
do not know the way to live only by eat
ing, drinking and dressing. On both hands
we find the extremes that are in society
and an the causes of ipoverty and ills
tress among so many of our fellow men.
Things should not bo so, and there ro
laws to that end; they are the laws of life,
the principles that make men and women
free from the burdens of life. "But seek
ye first Ills kingdom, and H.s righteous
ness, and all these things shall be added
unto you."
Second That men and women cannot
remove themselves from anxiety, poverty
and overwhelming troubles of this life
only to tho extent that they will execute
the laws of Christianity In their doings.
The prosperity of our families must come
from the standpoint of God' word.
Right between capital and labor cnomit
exist or4y by observing the principles
of Hln kingdom. Politics will not benefit
the people without having It run from the
pure fountain of the Holy Hook. The
government will fall to be a government
of advancement to the musses without
having Its bearings upon the shoulders
of t'he Word that Is to stand forever.
The law of the llrst paradise, which was
obedience to God, must constrain the
hearts of men and women toward truth
in practical life for to have the people
redeemed from Overwhelming troubles
that are poisoning thousands of souls day
after day. .
Think not that God will do all things
for us in this world. Our good times, we
are to make them, God has given us the
materials In the Gospel of His Son. We
believe in iprayer, but prayer cannot save
us from evil of our days. We are to
watch snd pray. Watch means that we
are to work,- to live and to keep going
day after dnv In God's way. We should
thank, -God that he hath made us to work
out our own salvation. Man would not
be a, man otherwise. ...
' Lawn Protesting Our Right.
There are, laws around us In every di
rection protecting our rights as far as we
will take hold of them. -The world will
not soring at onoa Into possession of Per
fection; .wo have to believe Qod, tenuis
salvation, and to have faith In the prin
ciples of H Son. Jesus Christ, and
chorus our faith with virtues. Faith will
develop man's power. As Peter said: "Add
to. your faith, virtue; and to virtus
kuowledge; and to knowledge, temper
ance; and to temperance, patience; and to
patience. Godliness; and 'to Godliness,
charity," and so forth. Those are the
powers of self control and self mastery
that men and women need overcome the
evils of life. "For whatsoever Is begot
ten of God overcometh the world; and this
Is the victory that hath overcome the
world, even eur faith."
This Is the spirit of Christ as well as the
spirit of Christianity. The world In Its
whole connections has to be governed by
the laws of rliiht, and we are to execute
them. God In the grace of His salvation
Will help us when we try to help our
selves. Third l ife In accordance with Chris
tian principles con not fall to be life eter
nal. Every man should study life and its
duties In the light of God's word, because
we need eternal laws, if not, we shall leave
th s world without hope of a better state
of existence. Here on earth we are to
prepare ourselves for another world. God
could not give man a butter place than this
world to start III life and wo should thank
HI in for H.s great wisdom In doing so.
Christ, as man. gave us the way to live
In this world that we might live hereafter
on the same principles, but for better and
more like God himself.
Whun we aim with nil our heart to
fulfill our duties according to the luws of
Chiistlnnlly, wo have peace with God,
wo are In hurmony with ourself. we know
that we are upon the foundation of God.
I do not know of any man In the history
of the world that was sorry he lived a
ChrVtlun life, but I have found many of
the worst and most ungodly men In the
greatest troubles when death was appear
ing because they had not lived Christian
''"The laws of Christianity are not only the
pseenllula of order and prosperity here,
but they are eternal laws that belong to
the government of God. They are In
themselves the essence of righteousness
nnd happiness thut lllls the belter home
above.
Proved for Ills hlsclplcs.
Christ praved for His disciples and snld:
"Sanctify them through Thy truth. Thy
word Is truth." as If lie would say:
"Sanctify them In Thy truth, because Thy
truth alone cuiitaineth eternal laws." The
saiK-titlculion that comes from perfect
laws ie constantly In progress, the secret
of its work on the soul Is to have nun
very conversant with things pertulnlng to
God and Godliness. God and the laws of
His kingdom he knows to a great extuut,
and the divine Influence of Godly things
saiictiileth his thoughts and juirifleth His
life In all respect. We have no doubt
reearding the power of Christ Inn law to
reform humanity If they will be obeyed.
"Our Gospel i-auie to you not in word only,
but In power and In the Holy Ghost, and
in much assurance." This Influence Is
confined to the word of God and to the
laws of our salvation.
The fundamental principle of Christ s
teaching was to live here forever upon the
same truth. There Is a way of life that
makes life a blessing to Its owner, even
in our'present state of existence, and In
the wav of life we should try to live.
There Is no condemnation upon the. man
that tries to live In the right way, because
God Judgeth every man according to the
aim of his heart.
What a happv world would this be 'f
every man would only try to live In the
way of life the man tries to walk on
the right road to the city where his home
Is.
TIIE SCIIIVEREA MEETINGS.
Have Been Attrsetlng Mnch Attention on
tho South Side of the City.
Evangelist Sohlverea's meetings on
the South Side during the week past
have been attended with most bene
ficial results and the prospect for the
ensuing week Is very bright. The even
ing meetings have been- large and fer
vent gatherings, as were also the
noon day prayer meetings for the
working classes at the factories.
Rev. iMr. Schlverea Is much pleased
with the work on the South Side,. be
cause the people have manifested much
Interest and they are becoming more
enthusiastic as the oampalgn pro
gresses. (His mission Is to do good
wherever he goes and to uplift the
lowly and help men and women to
lead better lives. His work Is more di
rected toward stirring the spirit of de
votion In the hearts of the people and
setting them thinking than In provid
ing a regular religious service.
His work Is distinguished from the
work of the churches In this way: the
church on Sunday Is for the one who
has the love of God In his heart and
goes to service to worship; the evangel
istic work Is to enkindle the spirit in
the hearts of those who have strayed
away and have neglected the Lord, to
create a love of God In the breasts of
those who have as yet not known the
power of grace. When Rev. .Mr. Schl
vcre.i shall have gone the fruits of his
work will be reflected In the Increased
attendance at the churches.
Will Organizoa Mission Branch.
In connection with his work on the
South Side he la preparing the way for
the organization of a mission branch
of the Second Presbyterian churchi of
the central city. The branch will. It
Is expected, have a place of worship
on the South Hide In some convenient
hall or building.
Next Sunday at 4 o'clock the evangel
ist will preach In the Frnthlngham
theater, and there are evidences now
that the building will be taxed to Its
capacity. At 3.30 yesterday afternoon
he conducted gospel services at the
Houthftlde tent and again at 7.30 In the
evening. At both meetings large num
bers were present. Each evening dur
ing this week the meetings will open
at the usual hour, 7.30.
It has not been definitely decided yet
whether Rev. 'Mr. Schlverea will re
main next week; he never binds him
slf to any certain time, but regu
lates his stay In accordance with thu
Interest taken by the audiences and
the community. He is very anxious to
labor among the people of the Mouth
Hide, and it Is more than likely that
he will not depart for two weeks.
Had to Abandon tho Tent.
The meeting Saturday night was to
have been on a special subject for men
only and admission by curd, tint the
rain Interfered with that programme,
causing the tent to be abandoned nnd
the meeting held In the Cedar Avenue
.Methodist Episcopal church. At the
both services yesterday the exorcises
consisted of singing, praying and gos
pel reading, followed by talks on the
flavlor by the reverend speaker. The
choir of the Cedar Avenue church was
present on both occasions and ren
dered special music. ,
The tenor of Hev. Mr. Hc-hlvcrea'i
sermons, afternoon and evening, was
about the oll-navlng power of the Lord
and His readiness to assist the sinner
If the latter only turned to him and
sought the grace of Ood. The rever
end gentleman was eloquent and force
ful, and won his way to tbe hearts of
his hearers,

WILL ATTACK THE ASSESSMENT
Alleged That It Does Not Fairly Divide the
Cost of the Proposed Improvement.
y They Want a New aad a Dlf
, fsreat Pisa Adopted.
Nineteenth ward property owners,
who have arrayed themselves agalruit
what they are convinced Is an unfair
and unjust assessment In the expense
of building the sewer In the new Seven
teenth illstrlct. met Saturday evening
at St. John's tinll, prepared to take ac
tive steps to guard their rights, which
they believe have been trampled upon.
The first meeting was assembled on
Sunday, Aug. IK, and then a onmmlttee
of three, James Fox. J. S. Cttroctt and
George Guinbert, was appointed to de
vise ways and means to carry on the
work of the protesting; property own
ers. This committee was empowered
to engage St. John's hull, on Mtone ave
nue, for the meeting Saturday night
and also to confer with some promi
nent attorney at law, with a view
toward carrying the matter to the
courts if redress Is not obtainable out
side of the temple of Justice.
The -first meeting whs held In the
open air at the corner nf Irving avenue
and lUrch street; the property owners
met Saturday evening In St. John's
hull, but the stormy weather kept a
large number away. Those who were
thero mmle up In spirit what was luck
ing In numbers.
Tb. Have Ketnined Counsel.
Attorney I. H. Hums has been re
tained to take charge of the onset that
Is to be made against the alleged un
fair rating of expenses for the con
struction of the sewers. While In this
mood of lighting the sewers, the pro
testing property owners are free to
confess that the sewer is very neces
sary for the future health and benefit
of the people of the South Hide.
The burden of complaint comes from
the Nineteenth ward, and It has arisen
In the upper portion. The ground
there is hilly and rocky. The property
owners allege thut the benefit accru
ing to them from the sewers will not
be commensurate with the benefit that
other sections of the district will derive
from It. iPlttston avenue will be very
much enhanced In value, and the as
sessment against the average property
Is not as great as the assessments
against properties farther from the
river.
The protesting property owners want
a new wry of rating sewer assess
ments. They believe In taxing those
properties the most that will be the
most benefited, regardless of the fact
that it will In some cases cost far less
to build the sewer on the streets that
derive the most benefit.
Majority Favor Improvement,
The majority of those owning their
homes In the Seventeenth Sewer dis
trict are in favor of the Improvement,
and In most cases those who are op
posed sty men who have Just pur
chased properties and are striving to
pay for them.
They do not Just now want to be
burdened with the additional expense
of paying for what they admit to be a
decided Improvement, but one which
they think they can get along without
yet for awhile.
NEWS OF THE SOIJTll SIDE.
Property Owners to Fight Claims of
Lightning Hod Men Brief Jottings,
Attorney OS. J. Donahoe has been em
ployed to defend the Interests of certain
Minooka property owners against
whom a lightning rod concern of Alle
gheny City has obtained writs which
have been entered In the ofllce of Pro
thonotary Pryor as Judgments. The
Tribune, the day after the writs were
filed, contained an account of the mat
ter and gave the names of the defend
ants. There were In all more than a
doxen, but three, Michael Forrester,
Michael Lydon and (Patrick Powell,
being from iMinooka.
One of the men who Is a defendant
was asked by a Tribune reporter yes
terday what the sulfa mean, and he
was not backward in denouncing the
lightning rod concern. He said that
the agent came around about two years
ago representing that his company
would equip houses very cheap with
lightning guards, and produced a pa
per which was signed as a contract.
When the work was finished the prop
erty owners paid the amount stipulat
ed In the contract, but there wus In
variably a bill for extras which made
the cost amount to almost double the
original figure. The property owners
refused to pay and hence the stilts. At
torney Donahoe has secured the stop
page of proceedings and the property
owners propose to battle the cases In
court.
