J. B. Swcel, Pastor of Simpson Al. E. Church. WORTH OF ORDER CONSIDERED The Question of Brotherhood is ns Old us the First Human Family. Threu Principles Upon Which Otlil Fellowship is Founded Are So He luted Thnt They Linked Them selves Into Helpfulness -- To He Brethren Menus Better Life. Rev. J. B, Sweet preached a special sermon last evening to a doleirntlon from Globe lodge of Odd Fellows nt the Simpson Methodist Episcopal church. The large auditorium of the church was lllled, the aisles being util ized In an attempt to accommodate the throng that sought admittance. After a sliort song service Mr. Sweet an nounced his text; Genesis, xlll, 8, "For we be brethren." The introduction was a brief sketch of the relation sustained by Abraham and Lot and the reason for the utter ance of the words of the text, following which Mr. Sweet said: All advancement of the human ra e has been because of brotherhood and 111" lecoejiltlon of fraternal rlKhts. All true brotherhood has been revealed unto men by Divine Truth and Divine Munlfexia tlons of self. It has only been as we have eo;:ijrehended, according to our measure of ability, the levelatlon of God, that binlherhood has been developed and deii onstiated. The term "brother" Is not a restricted term horlzoned with the lines of the home circle; true, a brother may be of the same parentage with ourselves, but again a brother may know no ties of blood and ypt In thought, word anil deed far sur pass to us the one to the home-born. REV. J. B. SWEET. Who Is my brother? He who In acts of kindness, chailty and love niul'.es Hie better for me. He who In life's busy, tumultuous, huzzaylng procession halts to help the one who, fatigued, weary and dl-ttessed, has fallen out by the way; he who acts In real ways on the true stae of experience In life's drama, not before applauding audiences or cheering com munities, or landing nations, but some times ainld imappreclatlveuess,( against opposition, and In the face of persecution. To be who thus acts, who nobly performs duties of sympathy, tenderness, helpful ness for liullvdual or broud humanity be, he Is a brother In the highest sense. QUESTION OF BROTHERHOOD. We eomo to you this evening to speak on this question of brotherhood, a ques tion as old as the first human family, as new as this present hour. Concerning the basic principles of your order I stand this evening with extended hand saying unto you as Abraham to Lot: "We be brethren," not In the sense whereby a ne cessity for continuous fellowship may be seen, not in the. related sense of citizen ship simply, but on the plain of human needs, of human hopes and of human helpfulness. The church tonight links hands with you as you link Into the hands and hearts of your fellows, for I find the Order of Odd Fellows is a "society of. men for fra ternal purposes: an association of indi viduals of various creeds and Ideas, whose business it Is not only to alleviate each others troubles in cases of necessity, but to cement themselves in .the unity of FHen'dship, Love and Truth." Thus It is not a mere pecuniary advantage, as many unfortunately understand It to be, Its doctrine Is that In all the circumstanc es of life In which a brother may be placed, ho Is to receive the aid, the coun sel or the protection of his fellow-member, not as a favor merely, but as a right." In recognition of these truths, 1 am not disparaging the church us we underhand the church. Its Influence is not destroyed, nor Its powers weakened, nor Its position more pregnable because of this organization: the rather every In stitution where such principles as these are made basic to life becomes a bulwark and defense of the church. Placed In re lntlon we understand thnt Odd Fellow ship was not pre-exlstant to tho church, but the church to Odd Fellowship and this subsequent society has based Itself, not upon man-developed Ideas simply, but upon God's truth as the same has been revaled to and by tho church for the most glorious exponent of your trini ty of foundation Ideas was Jesus Christ, the Odd Fellow, odd In His friendship, odd in His lovo and odd In His truth. So He, the Corner Stone of the church, the church itself Is the antecedent of the so cieties which never have departed from or traveled any Immeasureable distance away from the things of the church. Then the question, Why docs not the church accomplish the things for which this and kindred societies Is pledged? If the church Is primal, what occasion and what need for such organization as this? NECESSITY SHOULD NOT EXIST. Viewed from and upon the surface the necessity should not exist, for ought not tho church to measure Itself against all human needs and be ready to supply those needs? Is not tho church a helptul Institution; Is it not an educational force; Is It not the moral factor to make bet ter all life? Yes, a thousand times yes. But, you are an organization, a society. Now organization means exclustvenets. Society means secluslvoness. By your organization you exclude cer tain from your order. In your society you are secluslve as certain cermonies bear witness. But tho church stands open arms Inviting "whosoever will," Fur ther, the church Is a pure charity body In that it gives out oftlmes without hope of leciving. You are a reciprocal order In that you give to those from whom you have lecelved Quid pro quo. He who re ceives must be lie who gives, and 1 be lieve that the Intent of the church must not be the usurpation of that which you are committed by obligation to perform for when every society I elation of man is dominated, controlled and governed by the church, when she must be con sidered us the all-prevailing and all paramount factor In all life, then will there be built u hierarchical empire nnd the church with authority and the clergy with power will make of men puppets to move as they pull tho strings, for even clergymen ure mortals and the church Is only comprehended as tho clergy re veal her. So, then, by Independent com bination you determine, to be reciprocally benetlclent, You reach over to yonder man strug gling perhaps with life's severe tusk; faintly dependent upon him, wages low, times hard, the few pennies he may huve Continued on Page C TWO GATES, TWO WAYS Topic That Rev. Dr. James McLeod Spoke on in the First Church Yesterday Morning. Rev. Dr. James McLcod's Lenten sermon yesterday morning on tho topic "Two antes nnd Two Ways," wits heard by a large congregation. The texts Wore: "Enter ye In at tho strait gate, for wide is tho gate and broad Is the way that lcadeth to destruction, and many there be which go In thereat; because strait Is the gate and marrow is the way that leadeth unto life, und few there be that find it." "Strive to enter In at tho strait gate, for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter In, nnd shall not bo able," Matt, vll, 13, 14; Luke, xlll, L. "Tho Sermon on tho Mount," said Dr. Mcl.cod, "will never grow old. Tho Christian study of nineteen centuries has not sounded all Its depths, nor exhaust ed all Its meaning. The Christian life of (ilneteen centuries has not reached the perfection of Its holy precepts. It will continue, until the end of time, to the Sermon of Sermons, even as Its Preacher will continue to bo the Preacher f.f preachers. It will never cease to bo pro fitable for doctrine, for reproof, for cor rection, for Instruction In righteousness. These words of Jesus aro sutllclently star tling. A hasty glance ut them Is very discouraging. The broad way to destruc tion Is ciowdedl The narrow way to life Is found only by a few!" Dr. McLeod then proceeded to show that more than n. comparatively few will be saved; that the number will not be less than the number lost; that Christ's words applied to the period of his earth ly ministry. Chi 1st Himself Is the wicket gate. In His person, by His work, by ills doing and dying. He has opened the .way to the holiest of all holies. The way, though, Is not found without ditllcultles, the meatest of which Is the sinner's own unwillingness to be saved. Concerning this struggle, Dr. McLeod said: "This opens up the question which ha3, for centuries, been the occasion of a great theological debate. Is salvation ob tained by faith alone, or by works'With out attempting to state, much less to de bate that question, let me say that It Is well to keep In mind the two views of truth which uie Implied In the text and which aie mote plainly and fully stated In other Scriptures. From one point of view, salvation Is easy. It Is obtained by giving our believing, loving, penitent look to tho Almighty Savior. This is a good truth Relieve in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. There is a human as well us Divine .side to the truths of the Oospel. 'Wotk out your own salvation with fear and trembling.' Strive to enter In at the strait gate. "The way to henven Is not a smooth and level plain, nor Is It a lovely upland park, where the flowers are always m bloom and where the birds are always singing and where the roads are always clear, and where tho scenery Is always charming, nnd where there are no dllll cultles to overcome nnd no dangers to avoid. No; Jesus Christ tells us a differ ent story, and some of us know by ex perience, that His wouls are true. The way to heaven or, If you please the way to salvation Is, Indeed, strait: but It i tins through a rough country." In conclusion, Dr. McLeod said: " 'Strive to enter In at the strait gate.' Rut why strive? Does not Christ say: 'Many will seek to enter In and shall not be able?' Does this useless, this vain seeking tefer to this day of grace, or to the Day of Judgment? Manifestly to the Day of Judgment, as the contest closes, The time when seeking to enter the gate will be of no use Is not now nor here. To all -who knock now, the gate will be opened. Rut tho lnv Is coming when It will be too late. When the King takes His seat upon ll's throne of Judgment, It will be of no avail then for sinners to cry 'Lord, Lord, open unto us.' The Lord will then say: 'I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of Iniquity.' "Hut nil who arp striving to enter In and who are seeking salvation here will have nothing to fear hereafter. 'When once the Mnster of the house Is risen up and hath shut to the door,' they will bo Inside and not outside, nnd being Inside their salvation will be complete and glo rious throughout the countless years of God." ORIGIN AND END OF MAN, Sermon by Hev. W. 1'. O'Donnell to a l.nrgn Conreantion. A congregation composed entirely of men, tilling the auditorium and gallery of the spacious cathedral, heard Rev. W. P. O'Donnell, of Holy Rosary church, deliver a most eloquent und Impressive sermon Inst night as the first of a series of special Lenten dis courses for tho men of the cathedral parish. He took as his text, "Now this Is eternal life, to know Thee the only true Ood, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent." His theme was the origin and end of man, and his argument was thnt Ood created us and for a purpose, hence that purpose the honoring of Cod In tills world and the enjoyment of communion with Him in the next should be ever kept foremost in the Christian mind. Next Sunday evening Rev. Father McCabe, of Avoca, will preach on "Hell." Wednesday evenings there will be special sermons for women, the first of which will be delivered by Rev. Fa ther Feeley, of the cathedral. Kaon Friday afternoon at i o'clock during Lent there will be a special sermon for school children, P1TTST0NA1EN IN LUCK.

CHURCH OFFICERS' ACTION IS ENDORSED Perm Avenue Baptist Congregation Takes n Rising Vote. AGAINST THE SALOON LICENSES Dr. Divon Presents a Set of Plainly Worded Resolutions Which Arc, Unanimously Kndorscd -- Four Blocks in the. Vicinity oftlie Church Building Contain tt Drinking Plnees'-Snlibnth School Scholars Led Astray in These Places. The members of the I'enn Avenue Haptlst church at the regular morning service yesterday arose nnd Indorsed the action of the olllcers of the church in opposing the granting of licenses to several liquor establishments In tho vicinity of the church structure. A set of very plain resolutions rend by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Joseph K. Dixon, were endorsed as follows: While this church as an organization depreciates the existence' or the great liquor evil it recognizes that the laws also exist and that certain franchises are grunted by the courts to those who obey the laws under which licenses ure given for the sule of Intoxicating drinks, never theless, Ro It Resolved, That the Penn Avenue Raptlst church In public session assem bled does hereby announce the firm con viction nnd docs emphatically protest against the continuation in business of those places wherein the law Is not heed ed and where tho Sabbath is desecrated, and where disorder, gaming und lewd practices are permitted .We believe that the wellbelng of this community and the personal safety of those who worship here demands It. We believe that the time has come to extend a strong arm of protection around the hundreds of Sunday school children, who come here from time to time; that the pupils of our kindergarten und Industrial schools ns well as the attendants upon all our meet ings are exposed to gieat danger morally and physically by the Insult and even attacks of drunken men under our very doois; ITS ACTION COMMENDED. Resolved, That we commend the action of the advisory committee und the trus tees In remonstrating against those places where the violations of the law are so llagrant, and pledge them our hearty sup port. That III our judgment the most llb eial construction of the law does not show the necessity for any more hotels In this block than those ugalnst which no icmonstrances have been filed. Dr. Dixon Introduced the reading of the resolutions by a brief talk in which the methods of conducting some of the saloons In the vicinity of the church were roundly scored. Estimating the number of services and vnrlous gatherings 'at the church dining one year and the number of young people who came to and depart ed from the meetings, a total of itS.CSO persons Identllied with the church passed before the saloons every twelve months and were Insulted or made un willing witnesses of the drunkenness and other vices allied to the liquor traffic. It seemed rather ironical that the congregation had contributed $700 last year to the Rescue mission whose candidates ure, In part, made by the saloons. There were, he paid, twenty-six sa loons In the four blocks north of Lacka wanna avenue. In one of these places twenty women were found on a recent Sunday night. As many as 709 appli cations, the largest number In the city's history, are now waiting action before the courts. -There are, he said, L',000 licensed and unlicensed places in the city Hints. THOSE OBJECTED TO. Tho Penn Avenue Baptist remon strances are against John C. Welchel, whose wholesale liquor store Is sepa rated from the north side of the church by only a space a few feet wide; Frnnk M. Amsbry's saloon which immediate ly adjoins Weichel's place, the two be ing separated by a partition; Michael Rannon, whose saloon Is on the north east corner of the block opposite the church, and Christ Gomeringer, whose saloon is across the street from the church and almost opposite It at No. 233. It is claimed that not only the gener al effect of the saloons is bad, but that In the case of several boys who attend Sabbath school, the boys have been di rectly contaminated and led astray. Tt was told a Tiibune reporter by nn of ficer of thea church yesterday that sev eial of these boys had been detected In going into one of the places and gam bling after Sabbath school.

The 2 per cent, tax on gross premi ums of foreign lire insurance companies doing business, In Pennsylvania Is. about to be levied. The net of 1S!)3 provides that one-half f tills tax shall be divided among the cities and bor oughs of the state to be applied for the benefit of injured nnd disabled firemen. Insurance Commissioner Lambert, at Ilnrrlsburg, prepared for the foreign Insurance companies doing business, a list of all tho cities and boroughs In the state In order that the companies might state the amount of premiums collect ed In each city and borough. These lists were sent to the compa nies some time ngo nnd many have al ready been returned. These show how much money Is received from premi ums in each city and town, and on the uinount 2 per cent, tux is assessed. One half of this tax Is returned by the auditor general to the city or town from which it Is collected, and the mu nicipal corporation can do with It what It pleases. There Is nothing In the law to compel the municipal authorities to estubllsh a firemen's beneficial fund, It was supposed that a great sum of money would be realized by this law, but It found that the gross amount will be about $75,000. There are over 700 cities nnd towns In the stute that ex pect to be benefitted, and $70,000 will be divided nmung them according to the amount of premiums paid In each by the foreign insurance companies. Some of the towns are going to be very much disappointed. The bulk of the fore Urn fire insurance company business Is done In Philadelphia, Pitts burg, Erie, Hariisbltrg, Wllllumsoort, Scranton, Rending and Wllkes-Harre, and as a consequence when the money Is divided these larger cities will get the bulk of It because the business was done there. The smaller cities and towns where not so much business Is done will, of course, get but a small share of the tax. In the smaller .towns there is not sucli great need for u llremen's beue llclul fund as the number of men In jured in lighting fires is much smaller than in the cities wheie buildings are larger and higher and lire lighting con sequently attended by greater danger.
