OLD LAW AXD fjfft&ENT GKACE
The On Waa'torMd H Make Saorlfica,
Now Permitted to Acoept t:briat
as the Altar Offarlnc-Tbe Old
and New Dispensations.
Two very helpful addresses were de
livered to St. Luke's Episcopal cons-re-a-atioii
last- night by the rector. Kev.
Rogers Israel. -The two addresses) were
brief talks, a hymn. Intervening:, and
each was intended as a. personal help
ami a means of spiritual guidance espe
clallv during- this Lenten season. -
Mr. Israel chose a style of delivery
bordering almost upon the conversa
tional order: his aim appeared to be an
auKeiil to his hearers individually anu
wub. as he stated, to show thein their
personal responsibility. lie said:
. "The very old dispensation .of law
which prevailed up to the time of Christ
and: the afterward dispensation of
grace, have an lmortant Itearing on
your personal resistnslblllty. The form
er was a cruel, relentless law. which
made religion nothing more than harsh
machinery. It provided for certain sac
rifices of birds and anlmuls on certain
occasions, and at a period when church-
going was b,y rule, attendance being
causeu ai reriain noun. 01 w n.
It was not a matter of discrimination
the people worshipped according the
law. This law was most exacting; and
we can easily comprehend our liord's
statement, that It was Impossible to
keep the laws of God. These edicts
provided certain rows of fringes to
one's gown: prescribed 'that ''prayers
should be bound to the foreheaa or
arm; directed the cut and style of one's
gow'n; gave the number and kinds of
sacrifices that should be made, and in
sisted upon many other conditions.
AVOt'LP BK PKOVKX C.l'ILTY.
"Many of us would be proven pal
pably guilty if the dispensation of law-
existed today. We are not expected to
obey them now, but we are expected to
obey the present law of turn, ana 01
which the old dispensation was a
shudiiw. Christ offered himself for oil
the sacrifices of birds and beasts and
so did away with them forever, and by
hla net we have passed the foreshadow
Imkh and have entered the real spirit
ual relation to the gospel. In the past
the relation was a purely physical
manifestation, and we would evidence
a return to this condition if we-aspired
to limi t grace by the present-day habit
of trying to be holy through our weulth
or saying our prayers in purely a physi
cal way. No wealth or prayer or show
will gain us od's favor. We must
accept the blood of Jesus Christ, which
was given by Him to take the place
of the blood of the doves and the goats
under the law dispensation.
"We are too fond of hearing some
one preuch and not sufllclently prone to
personal and prayerful contact with
Ood. We cannot force ourselves to ac
cept the lamb; it Is a free gift that
must be received with our free wills.
You must take your heart to Uod and
be humble In doing it and realize- that
it Is by his grace and not by our own
that we are permitted to do it.
WHAT RIHiIOlOX IS.
"He penitent and trusting and nliun
don your heart to his keeping. This Is
religion, and so step by step you will
go into the spiritual world. By accept
ing the dispensation of grace you raise
yourself ubove the law, which exists
only for evildoers. Be obedient, not
because of the law. but because of the
welfare of your soul. You are indi
vidually responslbe God is not.
. .eivruinul responsibility -today is
widely different from before Christ's
time. Then, as revealed in Jacob. Isuac.
Ksuu and other biblical characters. It
was an eye for an eye and a tooth for
a tooth. We can make allowances for
such a condition when we consider that
the people of that time had no other cx
aiti'de that the people of that time had
no other exumple than the voice within.
Then, it was to sari Hire others to suve
one's self; now we study how- to snc
rilice ourselves to save other--, according-
to the example of Chrirt. Then,
this teaching was ridiculed; now. it Is
Icuveiiiiig the world. Slowly but sure
ly civilization is following in the wuke
of Christ's teaching His example that
yourself is alone responsible for self's
salvation.
"It Is a serious thing, this salvation
When we consider the life to come; it
does not mean siieclal blessings to those
who rejoice or lire rich or pray aloud,
but it does mean safety for the meek
and contrite. To attain this we have
His word and example that we are re
sponsible not through priests as of old.
but through Hlrn. -Go sell what thou
hast; come follow me,' he said how of
ten has he said 'follow me.' It rests
with you alone, and that's why the
thought is serious.
WOHBR THAN HKATHKX.
"If we don't follow Christ's example
we are as bad off us were the Romans
ami Jews. We are worse than heathen
If we don't accept Ills sacrifice. We
gain by the acceptance; its value Is
beyond computation, so far beyond that
it is priceless; it cannot lie purchased.
"Wo can hove this grace for the ac
cepting of It. so why can you resist
saying. 'Lord, thy will be done.' A
trustful spirit is all that Is required,
and then you are develoned and will
feel the support of his strong, comfort

Address hy iTofessor Dettwiler, of
Ittoorostutrg. and Kitra .Mnsla at the
Y. M. :. A. (inspel Meeting.
A largely attended and Interesting
gospel service was held yesterday af
ternoon in the Young Men's Christian
association hall. The meeting was ad
dressed by W. H. Dettwiler, professor
of history at the Rloomsliurg Stute
Normal school.
Kfieela! music, under the direction of
J. M. Chance, the association's instruc
tor of instrumental music, was ren
dered by a mule chorus." which sung
for the first time, and the following
male quurtette from the Second Pres
byterian church choir: First tenor1
.it r. crort: second tenor. Mr. Uunyon:
first bass, Mr. Holeomh; second bnss'
Mr. Dryer. Mr. Croft sung a nolo,
"Just as 1 Am." by Merritt, with violin
obligato accompaniment, by Walter
Klple.
Prof essor Dettwiler said:
In the prayer offered by u'r l,ord. as
recorded In John. xvll. we find that only
once does he ask anything for himself
and then only to be glorified that he
In torn may glorify his Father. In the
twentyelKhlh chapter of Luke Is re
corded another prayer, thut of the Phari
see In the parable of the Pharasee and the
Publican, In which he thanks God that
he Is not as other men are. The latter
Is the prayer of a man conformed to the
world: the former (s the prayer of com
plete surrender of a glorified soul to the
will of (loil: the keynote of the Christ
life Is sai-rltlee.
. Christ sometimes prescribes a very sim
ple test to prove the sincerity of the be
liever In his professed willingness to yield
himself ifp to the glory of God. The young
man spoken of In .Mark, x, was asked to
give up his properly. He failed ill this
single teet and went sway sorrowful.
What blessings Christian lose because
when forced by necessity to limit their ex
penditures, they cut off Christ from Ills
allowance instead of economising In lux
uries and other unecessary expenditures.
Christ demands our bodies for His glo y,
that they may bei-onie "living sacrifices"
"dead unto sin" but "alive unto righteous
ness." The warrant for His claim la that
they are Uod's, for "He has bought them
with a price" I Cor., vl. S0. No niatt.r
how sin-stained the body is, Christ ran
ch-anse it to make it the Tempi of Ibe
Holy spirt If we will only let Him.
God i-Jaims our spirit according to
Cor., vl, ill, on the rume warrant Ilia. Il'i
claims our body. Our intellects, all o'.tr
affections, our wills, can all be Kmu tliwd
to His glory and will lie If the soul puis
itself Into a proper attitude with relation
to Jesus Christ. The beginning of the
God life, the conscious choice of Jesus
Christ us one's personal eiuvior, is the
first sacrifice, and all the rest are made
by being willing to let God use us ac
cording to His own pleasure.

iMR. liLENNO.VS IDEA.
Indicates the Knterprisa Which Has Made
f orest I B-itlo Brewing Co. a Success.
It Is not generally known that tho
hanger advertisement of Hughes &
Glennon, the Forest Castle brewers, of
Pittston, was the Idea of Joseph Glen
non, one of the llrm. Business men
nearly always rely upon the profession
for such Ideas and are content to pay a
certain sum of money for certain re
sults. Frequently the results are worth
the tnoney, oftener they are not; not
because the business man Is stupid, but
because draughting and designing Is
a profession, and the result of an ar
tist's work can be palmed off as u
unique thing when it is really com
monplace. In the present instance the Forest
Brewing company hus scored a greut
advertising stroke solely through Mr.
Glen nous fertility. Of course, Mr.
Glennon didn't uctually draw the pic
ture design of the hanger, which ad
vertises the firm's bock beer, but the
idea originated with htm and the ar
tist was instructed to put it on paper
Without considering the expense.
Speaking of Ideas, may be it Is this
endeavor to be new and up with the
times that accounts for the great busi
ness achievements of the Forest Custle
company. An instance was the linn's
determination to secure pure, deep rock
water, and no other, for the manufac
ture of their beer. Artesian wells were
mink ut cost which run up into many
thousands of dollars. It cost the firm
money; that's true, but It is earning
for them a big business. So witli Mr.
Glennon's scheme for u hanger of orig
inal design. It cost a great deal of
money because it Was something new,
a design not on sale In every litho
graphing establishment. The card con
tains portraits of the most prominent
candidates for the presidency. Mr.
Cleveland stands aloof from the group,
to whom he is delivering an uddress.
He wears upon his lapel a third term
badge, and rests his left hand on
Hughes & Glennon's mascot bock goat.
The right hand is extended to Impress
his hearers with his Inst words, which
were ."The'Cnlon and Hughes Glen
non's Hock Beer forever."
DID IT VERY CLEVERLY.
Young Man Shows Much flaring and
Agility In Stopping a Hnnuwar.
A horse attached to a cutter belonging
to V. M. Amsbry broke away from his
moorings in front of Mr. Amsbry's ho
tel on Penn avenue at o'clock last
e.venlng an I dashed up Penn avenue
towards Imi kiiwunna on a gallop.
" Near the corner of Spruce street a
young- man named Jacob L. Most r
grabbed the buck of the sleigh, and al
though he was dragged along the snow
for a short distance, he clung on and
managed to clamber in by the time the
tt. Charles hotel was reached. Just as
the frightened animal was about to
plunge across the crowded Iiuckawannn
avenue, Moser succeeded in bringing
him under control.
The turnout wus driven hack to Its
owner only a little the worse for the

COMIXH ATTRaTtIOXS.
"The Speculator." which Thomas Q.
Reabrooke, the well-known comedian,
will present at the Academy of Music
this evening Is said to be an exception
ally clean as well as clever American
comedy. There is no woman either
'with a past or a dark present, no vil
lain to pursue the suffering heroine, no
deceived husband, and no w rouged wife.
The principal motive of the pluy. which
is the llrst attempt at dramatic work
by its author. George H. Hroadliurst,
Is the love of a father for his son. The
Chicago board of trade linn of John
Fiiilerton & Son Is enguged in engineer
ing' a wheat deal In which their entire
cupitul Is Involved. Henry IHim uii Is
the head of a clique which Is opMislng
them, and both sides are so deeply in
terested thut the success of one means
tln ruin of the other Robert Fullertoii
Is in love with Duncan's daughter. The
young man knows that If bis firm comes
out victorious, his sweetlieurt will re
fuse to nuirry the man w ho has ruined
her father; and he is also uwaro thut
if Duncan wins, his father will be bank
rupt, uud his sisters deprived of the
luxuries and comforts to which they
have been accustomed. Tho second act
Is the great act of the play. It shows
the otllces of the rival speculators, and
gives a graphic picture of the culmina
tion of the deal which finds Fullertoii
victorious and Duncan a bankrupt As
John Fullertoii, the speculator who tri
umphs fti the contest, Mr. Senbrooke

South since the wur. with a Gernmn
baron traveling in this country incog
nito as a botanist, as the principal char
acter. Clay Clement appears us Huron
Franz Victor Hohenstuuffen and gives
playgoers a new phase of the Germun
churucter. The stock presentation Is
that of an Ignorant coarse and blunder

Some of the best acting seen In a long
time may be seen In 'The New Do

the curtain at the conclusion of every
act. and was frequently most heartily
applauded."
