l by the sle. (Oi-i'.is of tlie country
on ueeoiint of traditions which ass-riel
that it was especially chosen by the I)i iiy
and lied been niiele holy ground Moses,
not Inllueiiee.j bv the siilioratllions of the
natives, limliiijf the pasturaue espei-lnlly
rich and fresh, fearlessly drives bis tin -k
there to feed. He soon beholds the biuii
ItiK bush nnd II Is us lie draw near to
investigate that he is startled by the
voice interim; the words of the t-xt. "I'm
off thy shoes from off thy feel for th
plnee whereon thou stuudesi lit holy
ground."
a h i:ath i:n OI H'l'O.M.
(.io.l seems here to Im-kIii that Instine
tion of His people in reverence and liodly
fear which He consummated durlns the
fortv years' wumlerlngs in the wlldurnoss.
And singular us it may appear he b.-gins
with a heiithen custom, but nevertheless
a custom with which .Moses was familiar
and by whl-h he knew the hluli prle.its of
Euypt sigtilli-U reverence and devotion.
He most liave lie-n at ones ueepi 1111
pressed. From this time on we tind Ibis
.custom to have grown and spread. The I
.lews for many generations adhered to it
mid we tind il also among the tjreeks,
while today all Mohammedans, Jtiuhniiiis
and l'arsees observe it.
The custom was not and Is not now ob
served, however, for the same reason thai
we remove the hat from ihe head on en
tering 11 place of worship, that Is. rever
ence to the place; Inn It represented lo
those observing it far more than this: The
sandals worn having 110 uppers neces
urily admitted sand and dust and gravel
and is laying aside tin- sand-Is they re-:
moved this, llius signifying u lay
ing aside of the pollutions contracted Iu
walking In sin. You perceive at once that
the feeling which we express Iry remov
ing tlie hut was Included In this undent
custom and associated with the far deeper
and more important emotion of nnwortni
ness of self slgnilled by the laying aside
contamination contracted in the world.
"The place whereon thou stand-st Is
holy ground." spoke the voice from tlu
bush. Hut why cull one place more holy
t hun another? asks the one who spurns
the Idea of especial holiness being con
nected with anything, saying all tliiiu's
are nliketholy, lis God has made ihetn.
That Hod culls one place holy and de
mands certain observations of peculiar
reverence in that place, which obsetv-
unccs are not demanded In another plU'ie,
not only leaves us to Infer but thrusts
upon us the fact that one place is iu his
sight mory holy than another; and. if this
lie so, what are the conditions pertaining
to render one place holler than another?
In one text it Is the presence of (.Sod; or
to meet another who will reply that Hod Is
everywhere, we will say His especial pres
ence manifested to man. This may ti
ll pun the hillside, as ill the case of Mos-s.
or in the grove it will be wherever man
has sincerely erected a building for his
worship a house of Clod.
IT BECAME HOLIER.
iod used the hush, and It and the s.ir
rouiiiling space became holier thereby 111
that .Moses must act as in a tempi- de
voted to the Supreme being. The vessels
of gold nnd silver and brass used iu the
Jewish temple became holy from their
association and were deemed too sacred
to be touched by any but I evite or priest
and their very possession became the
source of great evils to those heathen
scoffers who ravaged the temple.
The whole teaching of Scripture appears
to tend toward a solemn ami reverential
observance of every form of worship iu
the Lord's presence, together with Ihe sa
eredness of everything consecrated 10 Ids
tervlce. This Is ihe Lord's house we are
pleased to say ami often the words "the
Lord is In His holy tempi-" echo amid
these niches. And yet how maiiv of us
think of the presence of the Lord dwell
ing here, especially, as we enter the
porch? How startled we should be were
we to hear, as we were about to enter,
tlie words, "Put off thy shoes from off
thy fuel, for the place wher-on thou
stiindest is holy ground." and yet we
come here exporting in the service to ap
proach nearer to the Lord J-sns and 10
rend-r Him e.pec!nl worship.
Si-rely, then, this Is equally hole srotind
with that which Moses trod. U;;d speaks
to ms here and If so, does not lod Himself
command you to lay aside tr- pollutions
of the world at the very cntranci end
there humbling yourself while confessing
your own unwortiihi-ss, utid eni-t wit'iin

when an unseemly word or lirlit expres
sion hits been ne.hwed to you and Im
mediately t'e feeonif of devotion lias
b'-cn dhsinated.
Am 1 not describing Ju?t what tr.iny
of you hsve felt. and. feellnir nt the mo.
nicnt have realized how unbecoming to
the house of Hod such action was'.' Do
you net perceive, my friends, how mo-h
more sphilunl nnd less sensual our wor
ship would become If from the very en
trance to tills church we endeavored to
realize that it whs set np'art for the wor
ship of the true t.;od nlone, and, us thus sf t
apart, a place where he especially ie.
vealed himself to humble penitent hearts
and accordingly very holy ground? Surely,
realizing this, we would not need the
warning voice, hut while yet far away from
its doers u sense of our un worthiness
would oppress 114 nnd we would almost
unconsciously lay aside nil frivolity, and
lightness nnd enter shod rather with the
preparation of the (tospel than with the
vaidti-s ami pollutions of the world.
There ever hos been to human fore
sight and ever will be In the worship of
jod a iititon of outward form and Inward
spirit. The propoi'l'ons of this comblna
lion will ever vary with the vuiylng dis
positions, education nnd Instincts ol m.'in.
if the spirit be earnestly Intent upon
worship, the body will nuturally, In some
way, reveal the Inward working.
There Is no nation, nor tribe let it. bo
ever 10 low and degraded, or civilised and
cult ured but that. In Its worship of Deity
under whatsoever form. Prions litto or
shows forth tlml worship In some specified
form. One may stand with bunds extend
ed 111 humble reverence, ano; her may
prostrate himself upon the earth In self
abasement, wtiile another may fciws-l tu
lowly acknowledgment of a Supreme pres.
euce. No one, truly moved to worship,
will maintain an Indolent ami indifferent
position in the act. Against such a thing
the very spirit rebels. Hut I cannot to
day pursue this subject further. Let me.
however, add to these unfinished points
but one other.
MADE OF TRIFLES.
Mary, nnd perhaps there are some
among my own hearers, mny consider the
subj-ct which I have endeavored to at
least open to your own further investiga
tion, as made up of but u ltl-s. Rut even
allowing such u thing, which, of course,
1 do not. Is not the happiness of our life
in this world made up of just such trill s.
being deprived of which we languish nn.l
drift back Into a rough uncivilized state,
it Is most true, as 11 recent writer states,
that "there Is a cure for trlftes which pro
ceeds from love and conscience anil I?
most holy, and there is a care for trliles
which comes of Idleness and frivolity and
is most base." It is this care of tr'ft"3
which proceeds fr";i love and con'l-"-
vhich we must str. .e after and which v'll
lead us into more Intimate r tatluMs with

ti'Miilc in (.'in isiinalty, tin 111 other of
nal ions, lb- arstieil to pi ve that in
Arin-iiln was locutcd tlie lelen of tlio
liil'le nml history.
Some of the iiietliiiils of butchery by
the Turks were must horrible. Ar
menians were Hung In boiling oil,
bound hnml and foot and hurled over
precipes, bud their thmuts partially cut
nnd wer- then burled nllve nml in
many instances were subjected to tor
tures ami pi-ceiiieul imitlhition for
hours before their sufferings ended in
death. The interest of Armenians, Mr.
A.titlerluii did not iiu.'stbiti, but he
feaii'd they did not mix enough action
with their prayers as u means of help
ing; to slop the utrocllies.
WHY Si 1 PASSIVK.
If had often been asked lilui why his
people were so missive, why they did
not rebel and tight. Such a course was
impossible, he explained. The three
tind a half millions of his race were
scHllei'-d among thousands of small
villages. Frequently attempts to meet
secretly were frustrated by Turkish of
ficials who caused all detected persons
to be put to deuth without trial, on
suspicion an.! without inquiry. The
least semblance nf remonstrance
against the sultan's oppreslvo ynki
was designated as conspiracy and the
suspect wits Immediately put to death.
He described the illst iiiclimi between
Turks and Armenians In their religion,
habits, tradition and ancestry ns being
as distinct us between citizens of the
I'niled Slates, uud the Armenian In
dians. Ariiiciiinns nre never convert
ed to Moliihiiiiiediiiiisin inn' are Turks
converted to Christianity, though ho
knew nf 0110 Turk who professed a
learning toward the Christian faith and
was poisoned by order of Turkish of
ficials. This cottnlry's diplomatic service re
ceived a seven- scoring by the speaker.
He characterized Minister Terrell as a
bribe-taker and a man whose honor
had been purchased by gold, wine and
fetes: In fact his denunciation of Ihe
Turks, who butchered his people was
no greater than for the rnited States
minister.
IEVOTICI TO THEIR FAITH.
Christianity would make much nmre
rapid progress If its followers were as
devout and loyal to their faith as were
the Mohammedans to theirs. Only
death or sickness prevents the latter
from attending the ceremonies at the
temples five times ill each day. They
run in order tu not be lute. The pow
er th-lr faith has over them Is evi
denced on Martyrs' tiay, an annual
festival, when the followers of Moham
med llagellate and castigate them
selves, with swords even, with such se
verity that during each event of tlie
kind hundreds of them die from their
w ounds or loss of blood. This was con
trasted with the civilized religion
peuce und suggested another contrast
of the Turks' intense devotion mid
Christians' apathy.
At the conclusion of the address Ihe
o.TeriiiK was made and wus turned over
to Air. Azhderinn, to be ilevot-d to ihu
Armenian cause.

CORNER-STONE WAS LAID.
Ceremony Conducted at the Church
of St. Lawrence at Old Forge.
In the presence of several thousand
persons the corner stone of St. Law
rence Catholic church, of Old Forge,
wus laid at It o'clock yesterday after
noon by Kt. Rev. Bishop O'Hara. A
year ago all that part of Mlnooka par
ish south of Taylor was erected Into a
parish by itself and Rev. J. F. Jordan
was transferred from assistant at St.
Mary's church, Wilkes-Hurre, ami
made ;iastor of It.
Father Jordan set work with a
zeul to build a church suitable for the
needs of his charge, and succeeded so
well that he secured a most advantage
ous site and has all airaiig-iiiciits made
for the erection of the edlllce. Before
tin; corner stone laying there was a
parade in which every Catholic organi
