onces evidenced a spirited welcome to
the former pastor. Dr. tlitlln conduct
ed the service anil Introduced Dr.
1'earce in a most happy way as one the
clulrch needed for the occasion and
who should feel obligated to respond to
what the date and the event sisnitled.
Dr. l'carce's sermon was un argu
lii' lit. beautifully Indited and blended,
suggesting that while Christ's miracles
hud been inliiiite, man's power for mi
raculous works was also limitless. His
text was "(Ireatcr works than I do.
shall ye do also," St. John, xiv. 12. He
said:
1 HI. l'KAHCE'S SERMON.
The works spoken of III this passage of
Hotv S.-rlptiire. as they stand connected
with our Lord's earthly ministry, un
doubtedly mean, in the broadest sense,
miraculous manifestations.
I're-eiiilncnlly the greatest miracle to
the behuliling of men and angels was the
Lurd Jesus Christ Himself, All other
miracles that made his life a luminous
record of astonishing- works and loving
benefactions are only radiations from this
one replendent mlracla. The strange min
gling of he lion iiml the lambs, in His
character; His blended meekness and ma
jesty; His perfect purity and matchless
energy; His pilluwless poverty and un
searchable riches; His patient suffering
and (iod-llkp action; His weeping with and
standing with God, moving on the lowest
social plane, and rising infinitely above
the highest; swaying the sceptre of mercy
nndwiclding the sword of Justice, opening
ut once the gate of hehven and the mouth
of hell, and subordinating even . super
human wisdom nnd power to the ends of
love and eclipsing them both by Its trans,
cetulent lustre! all of this Is so unlike
anything on earth or known among men.
so unliko anything conceived by philoso
phy, or celebrated In art or, song, that It
makes Him, by infinite leagues, u greater
miracle than His divine hand ever
wrought.
lint Christ Himself was not only a mira
cle, but He also wrought miracles. It is
true, other men have performed miracles;
prophets and apostles have astonished and
fasclated the people with their wonder
working! but it has always been In dis
tinct recognition of their dependence with
acknowledgment that the miraculous
power wtis delegated and derived. Hut
this Oallilean wrought miracles In the
opulence of His own resources, and by
the might that was inherent In Himself
alone.
Hut Christ makes the starling announce
ment that believers shall do greater works
than He did. By this He declare that
the sphere of Christian achievement to
day is not In the material, but In the
spiritual. I'aith ill the unseen Christ Is
the winning force! Hence It Is that He
said, he that believth in me shall do great
er works than I do. Not he that bellcv
eth In any truth, though the redemption
of the world he wraped up In it; nut he
that belleveth in any creed, or schedule
of doctrines, though they represent the
toil anil prayer of the wisest and best men
through long cnturiesl and not he that be
lieveth In any church, though It be found
ed in the blood of the martyrs, enriched
with the Inlinte wealth of religious teach
ing and hate all heresy, as the very gate!
but he that belleveth 111 "Me."
FAITH THAT WINS.
There must be a personal Christ, as thp
central sun In the heavens of our faith.
The faith that wins, that overmasters thi
obstinate forces that are potent In hu
man hearts, makes the Invisible Christ di
vinely near, puts our hand Into His hand,
our heart beatlnff against His heart, our
eyes looking up Into His eyes; absorbing
every passion, holding In perpetual en
swathement every faculty and feeling and
filling the whole soul with the sweet de
lirium of the conscious presence of Christ.
And when we have this real faith In
Christ nnd the power of His life and the
joy of His great salvation in our souls, we
have the force that makes the humanly
Impossible, easily wrought, gives humble
men victory over the mighty nnd the
great, kindles pentacostal tires upon ev
ery church altar and enables the feeblest
believer to say, with a Pauline spirit and
daring, "I can do all things through
Christ strengthening me."
The one stubborn, yet luminous fact
that nothing can alter Is that without
faith in Christ, without blending the ill
vine with the human, all appliances and
means, however attractive, beautiful and
symmetrical, however compassionate and
humanrturian, however vast In their com
pass and aggressive In their movement,
cannot possibly touch the hem of that
garment that enfolds the great life from
which flows the only redemption and
spiritual healing for the diseased human
soul. Oh, there is no song or anthem,
however sweet In rythmor iofty in senli
ment, worth singing that does not sing to
us of Christ! There Is no sacrament,
however richly paraphannllel In the splen
dors of ritualism worth observing that
does not symbolise to us a personal, ever
present, forgiving Christ! and there Is no
sermon, however potent In argument, ten.
ler in appeal or aglow with persuasive
eloquence worth preaching that does not
pass its first meridian through Calvary
and udjust every thought and doctrine to
that one sublime center, the crimson
cross,
Christ says, having this faith In Him
nnd the power of personal communion
with Him, we shall do greater things than
if we had wrought physical miracles like
His. At first thought we are disposed to
say that there must lie some mistake
about this, it must lie a rhetorical expres
sion or a metaphor, for it cannot be that
buman endeavor, can reach higher and
more enduring results than those wrought
out by the compassionate band of Christ.
Rut If we will look at some of tha pro
ducts of faith In Christ, we will readily
see the reasonableness of this expression.
We admit that no amount of faith in
Christ, or personal consecration to His
service, althouKto it be well nlsht seraphic
can so empower men as thai they can
touch blind eyes Into seeinit and pour Into
them the enrapturing beauties of the outer
world, as Christ did. Hut it can lay hold
of stone and wood and iron, of the mate
rial universe, and build them Into asy
lums and Infirmaries and institutions of
marvelous tenderness, into which can be
cathervd the sithtless by the thousands,
and so carefully teach them that each
linger tip becomes a clear sighted eyeball
and all the blind may see out of their
blindness.
CHRIST'S LKQACY.
No measure of faith or Intensity of con
Kferatinn can unstop deaf ears as Christ
did. -and thrill thtm with bird soon and
insect hum uad brook murmur, but its
Inventive mind and skillful hand can
teach them in the language of siuns so
that they hear and speak with their tin
kers and the awful silence of the world Is
forever broken. We bo a step further In
the comparison and say that the material
miracles wrought by Christ were limited
and could reproduce themselves. The
healed colli. 1 heal no one else. There Is
not a physical miracle that Christ
wrought, as far aa we can Judge, that has
come down to this day, but a work spir
itually wrought, perpetuates Itself hi In
finite crliles of blessings, leaves liehlnd
It visible memorials of power and (toes
pulsing across the eternities of Ood.
Ill illustration of tills thought. John
Wcslevs" mother, when he was a mere
Ihjv. Taught him the way of salvation,
anil Infused In his young heart a tunning
desire to save others and having cultured
himself at the greatest of universities
and having received the baptism of the
Holy Spirit he went forth like a turning
torch, scattering the rays of divine light
through the spiritually dead hemisphere
and by his words of fascination and power
stirred llie cold, pulseless heart of Eng
land, Ireland and America into a Pente
costal glow, enlisting In a great crusade
of righteousness, thousands and tens of
thousands of ull kind of men and women
from hovels and palaces, from slums ami
universities, and set In motion a train of
holy inlliit nccs that are lu lling the evan
gelical churches of today Willi light ami
power, ami cheering them with the as
surance that tile world's sorrowful dirge
will some day end in the songful march
of redeemed empires. .Mrs. Wesley, by
her prayers and words of counsel and
! uii lit ul living disenthralled the spirit
of her boy, and ho In turn disenthralled
tens of thousands, enriching and embel
lishing theiii, with all spiritual graces und
sending them in mighty regiments to do
likewise, until lime shall be no more.
MORRISON'S EXAMPLE.
A Sunday school worker by tender ap
peals brought a wayward boy into her
class, taught him the lessons of purity,
the way of salvation und simple trust In
Christ. Did It end there? Was it only the
one boy saved? Was that the limit and
compeers of It? oh, no. that boy became
the great, scholarly, consecrated Morrison
who translated the Mible into the Chinese
language and by which the rays of the
tlospel of the Son of llod were poured Into
that darkened empire, and the way made
possible by which that great nation Is
turning Its age-scarred und weary fa"e
toward crimson calvary. Thus you see
how Chrlstlun work reproduces Itself and
widens the sweep of Its transforming pow
er until it enswathes uu innumerable com
pany of redeemed souls and gladdens ull
the ages of eternity with Its thrilling
songs.
If you and I can overtake wandering
souls and bring them back to (lod; If we
can start them heavenward, thoroughly
renewed in every faculty and feeling of
mind and soul uml nerved to t lie highest
purposes in life; If we can expel from any
soul the demon of despair, inspire it with
heroic fortitude and flout over It the fore
tastes of the pleasures that are forever
more we will have wrought the grandest
and most enduring work known to human
hands and hearts!
When we work on mini) nnd soul, we
work on that which Is us Immortal as Cod
Himself; we work on colors as lasting as
eternity, colors that will brighten us the
ages go by.

In the evening Dr. Pearce reviewed
the trials and struggles of Elm Park

been surmounted, with the result that
the church was In Its present strength
nnd flush of prosperity. Its accom
plishments had been due. mainly, to
the care of Providence and much was
due from the congregation In return,
(bill's work was to be done. In Its doing-,
personal consecration and Chris
tian enthusiasm was necessary.
IR. OIFFIN'S Sl'OOESTlON.
Dr. Oiilln In his nddress urged his
h-arers to lay aside the bl church Idea
and pledge themselves to individual
work, the savins of souls. No church
was so strong-. In a worldly sense, that
Its members could graduate on creden
tials into God's kingdom, nor In the
same sense was any church so strong
that it could stand and endure on Its
own strength. It is demanded by holy
writ and suggested by all known good
example that the way to win Ood's fa
vor is to earn it by individual work.
There was no lack of opportunity nor
of power, he said, and It was expected
from on high that man should exercise
both.
Dr. Pearce came here Saturday even
ing and will return to Wllkes-ltarre
this afternoon. He was accompanied
by Mrs. Pearce and their eldest daugh
ter. Miss Luella. They were enter

TO MAKE BRICKS
FROM COAL DUST
Philadelphia Capitalists Have Formed a
Company for That Purpose.
PLAN THEY PROPOSE TO FOLLOW
The Scheme in ticncral is Not a New
One but the Process to lie I'scd is
t
IHfJcrcut from Vuy Heretofore
Tried in This Coinilrv-Ktlorls iu
the Past to .Hake Katislactory Coal
Dust Uricks tor Fuel.
The American Anthracite company Is
the name uf a corporation recently or
ganized by a syndicate of Philadelphia
capitalists for the purpose of establish
ing a hie coal briquette manufactory,
In that city. The company has pur
chased a ten-acre tract of land on the
east bunk of the Schuylkill river in the
Twenty-sixth ward nnd work on the
big buildings will be commenced In
two weeks. Several hundred men will
be employed ami the factory will have
a capacity of l.tiUU tons a day.
The briquettes will be manufactured
from coal dust. This is not a new
scheme as our readers Well know,- but
the process to be used Is entirely differ
ent from that employed heretofore. It
is a Flench process, which has been
successfully employed ill France and
Knglund where the cost of fuel is high.
In the new process the coal dust is
treated with certain chemicals, with
out the use ot pitch or resin, which
nuide the old processes so objection
alibi I'ndcr (p.iormous pressure the
coul dust is compressed Into nurd
blocks or cubes in sizes to correspond
with coal from chestnut to egg. It is
claimed that the briquettes will develop
heating qualities fully 2fi per cent,
greater than anthracite coul, and the
price will lie from aO to SO cents less
per ton. It Is proposed to take the coul
dust to the city by ruil und the Schuyl
kill canal.
PLAN OF OPERATION.
The plan Is to screen the culm from
the banks that are scattered all over
the anthracite region and take out the
peu. buckwheat and other slv.es, ship
ping only the dust to Philadelphia. The
new briquettes are claimed to lie supe
rior to those made a few years ugo be
cause tile latter were "ery sooty, dried
out rupldly nnd became unlit fur use
us a heat producer.
The scheme looks very plausible on
the surface, but there ure some things
thut have not been taken Into con
sideration by the Philadelphia capital
ists, owing no doubt to the fact thut
they have formed their phuis IU0 miles
from the nearest culm bank and have
not taken the trouble to visit the foun
tain head of their proposed supply ut
new- material, says u Pottsville ex
change. The fact is thut nearly every culm
bank that Is worth working is flunked
with a washeri- or Is being reserved
for that purpi'se by the operators of
the colliery from which the dirt is
taken. These u asherles, us their name
Implies, wash the coul and the dust is
carried awuv into our creeks and
streams iu Uie sicipe of liquid black
mud. It It u question if experiments
now being made for separating the coul
from the culm without water, will leave
the dust in u marketable state. It Is
ulso questionable whether the freight
rates for carrying the dust to market
and the cost of the dust Itself will not
be placed at such a ligure us to make
the manufacture of briquettes too cosi
ly to compete with the genuine black
diamond. It is not likely that the oper
ators will wunt to lend a hand In pluc
Ing on the market what the syndicate
claims will be a formidable rival to
their own product. New coal washer
lea are being erected right along and
these are proving a great source of
prollt to the owners of the banks.
EFFORTS OF THE PAST.
The history of the coal substitute Is
Interesting. In 1M2 u plant was In
operation at Port Richmond, Philadel
phia. The coal dirt was mixed with tar
or rosin and compressed into lumps
