A I r - sr 9 a s r i iriv I j. f V' y till SCIIANK & KOEIILER, CHRISTIANITY IS MOULDING THE WORLD Sermon in the Elm Park Church by Rev. . W. W. Ramsey. D. D.

Rev. W. W. Ramsey. D. D., of tho Arch street Church, Philadelphia, oc cupied the pulpit of Klin Park church yesterday. In the evening an unusual ly large audience .was present, and, not withstanding the heut wan suftlr-lently large to comfortably fill the galleries and main auditorium. Their attendance was repaid by hearing a lecture de livered In elniiuent style and calculated to impress the beauty of character and mental wisdom possessed by Jesus Christ. Dr. Ramsey's effort was something novel In that he confined himself strict ly to weaving a network of fact about his subject with such force and logic that he safely abandoned Its moral uud lesson It taught, anil cast thrm wholly upon the sense of his hearers and the impressions they sustained. He preached without notes, and made no use of the artificial ease that comes from nu'terial contact with the pulpit, depending rather upon the force of analytical and irgumentlve style and an unusual lluency. The text was "Whence hath this man this wisdom and these mighty works." the tlual part of Ht. Matthew, xlil, M. Dr. Itumsey Introduced his subject by' recalling the legend of the remarkable. victory of the Romans over Attllus and the continuance or the battle by the spirits of the slain for three days. That thought featured his later discussion that the seed of Christianity planted by Christ is continuing In fuct and 111 lesson the precept of Him thut snwd it. He said: MAN IS GRKATEK. "The man Is greater than his Inven tion; the painter Is greater than his palming, the general Is greater than the victory: the author Is greater than what be writes; anyone is greater than the tiling he creates. So the apostles?, if they have cr-ated a myth In Jesus and you have not believed in Him you can believe iu them. Hut. we leliev theirs was not a creation, they simply recorded what they saw and that should Impress us the more. "It occurs to us to usK how Christ attained Ills supremacy In thought, power and wisdom when His herttngo and title were wholly counter to those qualities. It either must have arisen in Him or from circumstances sur rounding hlni. No person ever came upon the plutl'orin with less encourage ment; the laud iu which he lived. Pales line, was the most odious of the time, and yet he undertook the great work. There was no fore-runner to his con spicuousness and success: he knew no school classes or riofessnr.i. 1 must think It was from v It hill rather than from without that attained His great power. UK HAD WISDOM. He was not simply an evangelist nor a proclolmer of truths, but he had a wisdom, a profundity and a ready wit usually ucqulred and certainly usually mude known under circumstances that are favorable, yea helpful. One Illus tration will do 1 refer to the gathering of Jews. Herodlans and Pharisees in the temple when tlie latter sought by pro found and studied questionings to en snare the Muster Into a statement which would draw down upon him th hatred of one or other of the two far tious. What tact, what wisdom he showed In answering their query con cerning the right of paying tribute to Caesar. "Hinder unto Caesar thai which is Caesar s. and unto Uod that which is i tod's." Their further effort, loo, when they asked Him to pronounce the greatest of the commandments displayed his wonderful readimss. They had included about lioO laws In their category and had hoped to record ills reply and twist it Into a weapon agaln-t Him. but He answered. "Thou shult have none other tluds but me mid "The second Is like unto It: I.nve thy neighbor as thyself.' That was his known platform und one to which they could take no new exception. THK GOLtKN Hl'LrJ. "I bless my Master for His wisdom which we find recorded til the Bible to duy. You ask me to name the most remarkable und plainly acceptatde as sertions of the day in all religions uud I ll read to you many u pass up-? of scripture; you nsk me for the one most remarkable and I will read to you some, thing Chi 1st said. Possibly you know It Is the (ioldi n Itule. It Is, but In the positive and not as Confucius said It. Christ never did or said anything; nega tive. He was positive in all things. The Confucian rule, "Whatsoever you woul.1 that others should not do unto you. do you not also unto them." was the same iiul without the "nots." Ills wan to do Eli' We have the best shape and fits to be had.' $3.00 Our Leader All sizes and widths, , Russet or Black colors, A10 Spruco Street good rather than not to do wrong. Ther was nothing vacilatlng, hidden or uu emphatW In character or work. , "Christ's relationship was not to the musses, but was to the units. That was Ills power then and Is today. His was not like that of the Romans and i reeks, whose only use for humanity was to create them Into great armies. Na poleon the First would have been like them had he lived 2,000 years earlier, tteorge Washington was not one-tenth the general Napoleon was, but he had a greater heart. That was the spirit of my Master: that was His thought. Have you any fault to find with It? His was sympathy and compassion then, and those are His today. METHODS THOUGHT STRANGE. "Jesus' system. His methods were thought strange, unpractical and fa natical in the harsh Biblical times. His adulation with unlettered fishermen and His talk of conquering the world through sympathy, charity and good will was thought to be ridiculous, yet he planted his seed to grow and mature, and it did. There have been more Bibles printed in the last eight years than during all the centuries and years immediately preceding. What does It mean? You can answer the question without help from me. "Kveryune ought to know In the ab stract what Christianity Is. then there Is In addition the fact that Christ Is himself Christianity, and Christianity Is Christ. Have you any objection to Christianity and its influence oh the world? "Yet everything Is against His Ideal. There exists all of humanity's base ness, humanity's passion, humanity's treachery. He said, however, the ideal would be attained. That certainly ap pears true when the stars that shone in Rome, the philosophers, statesmen and soldiers, amid the culture and literature of that wonderful city could not eclipse Him. They will pale away and His rays will conquer even unto the noonday: their Ideals will pale In the presence of the Suvlor. BLE.SSRD THE WEAK. "He blessed the weak. blessed the poor. His platitudes were simple things, but have you any fault to find In them? Would you not be better for cherishing them? His parables, too, stand today as fresh as when first uttered. His only thought was humane and for others save in His own sacrifice and self-denial. What do we think of all that? Is it good enough for us to follow to the best of our abilities and with the help of His example? "We were glud to see In these I'nlted States a cuhnlnution of this great vic tory, a precursor of the departure of barbarous arena customs, when two trained beasts were by the sentiment of the ruling people, by the act of congress and by the force of the governor of the I.one Star state obliged to abandon the bit of ground they hud selected to do battle one. and retire to Mexico, where Christianity has yet to gain strength. That shows the growing advantage of our great Master. "In the land where He labored and wus crucified, there were no hospitals nor asylums; the blind sut by the way side, and the poor were without shelter. In Christian nations there Is not a hos pital or a shelter that He hasn't build eu. He hud not a dollar, fet His money builded all the cathedrals, all the asyl ums that exist. March on Jesus Christ! He is coming. I would be glud to live to the day when there will be no antagon ism, no intemperance, no Immorality to oppose him; when some disciple of Ills might grasp Intemperance by the throat, throttle it. choke It. trail Its garments In the dust and place the Iron heel on Its chest. "It is coming. "The power of Jesus that melted the shackles from the wrists and ankles of 4.000.0UU slaves will yet do a greater work. Christianity Is In the air, and today we can trust our pocketbooks with Christians true Christians, I mean our own reputations, which are the more valuable." CHURCH DEDICATION AT KINGSTON. Ht. Itcv.

JOSEPH SIBLEY WILL BE INVITED Chnuncey Forward Blark to Ue Given aa Invitation, Too, and a Ktroug Effort V ill Be Made to Bring Both HercThe Populists Will Nnme a County Ticlct After the Old Parties Have Named Tickets. The Populist party of Lackawanna eouty will hold a ratification meeting within the coming two weeks. Thut was decided upon at a meeting of the county committee held yesterday after noon in Judge W. H. Stanton's olllce. Another subject which was under con sideration, but on which no action was taken, was Issuing a cull for a county convention to nominate a congressman, county commissioner and county audl dltors. Judge Stanton presided. All agreed that the platform adopted by the Chicago convention wub one on which the Populists could consistently stand, and some of the members of the commit te deprecated the Populistic na tional convention at St. Louis for not endurslng the Democratic ticket In stead of taking Bryan and choosing Thomas A. Watson, of Georgia, for the vice-presidential nominee. The system of voting In a national election makes tt Impossible to vote for the president without voting for the vice-president. There was some objection to endorsing the ticket because Sewull wus not in cluded In tt. HOPE OF THK POPI'LISTS. The ratification meeting will be held and meanwhile it is a mutter of hope on the part of the local Populists that Mr. Watson will decline the nomina tion, and that the situation will be simplified by endorsing Hewall in that event. John Gray, M. K. Kane and J. V. Lynch were appointed a committee on hall und they will report tomorrow evening. H. C. Houck, of Curbondule, Albert Butterman. Judge Stanton and J. A. Barron will comprise the commit tee on ways and meansto secure funds with which to conduct the ratification meeting Joseph Sibley, the well-known ex congressman and Hon. Chauncey For ward Hlack. will be Invited to come and un effort will be made to see thut they do come. At any rate, prominent speak ers will be secured both of local reputa tion and .from abroad. JUDGE STANTON'S REMAKKS. Judge' Stanton voiced the sentiment of the committee iu his declaration that a county convention will be held to nom inate candidates. He favors uniting with the Democrats on the congression al nominee, if they put up a. good man, but the lest of the ticket will be 1'opu Ustlc. This Is to preserve their individu ality as a party. The dlsposltl ill to combliit with tlie Democrats on the con gresional fight arises from the belief that the Democrats are drifting toward Populism, In fact are Populists, already The absence of the Whltney's.Carllsle's, Cleveland's and others. Is regarded as the purgation of tlie party. There will not be anything done In the way of a county convention until after the ratification meeting Is off their hands, and also until the Republican and Democratic parties make their Humiliations. The committee will meet again tomorrow night at Judge Stan ton's office. AGREEMENT TORN UP. The Destruction of It Angered Mr. (irndy, of Prcelnud. Clura Welchel, the proprietress of a Center street resort, and Jessie Will lams, a woman who lives with her, were arrested Saturday night on a charge of keeping a bawdy house, selling liquor without a license and destroying an agreement. The complainant was Mr. Grady, of Freeland. an agent for an installment house, to whom, it is al leged. Miss Weichel is Indebted for pic tures. The agent called Saturday and de manded payment, but the same was re fused and the agreement between the parties, which he held In his hand, was snatched away from him and torn Info pieces by Jessie Williams. Alderman Millar held Miss Weichel in I5UU bail and Miss Williams Iu M. The form er's father, John Weichel, of the South Side, became their bondsman. ROBINSON STREET CASE.
