SPECIAL SERMON
TO ODD FELLOWS
Delivered by Rev. 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

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,

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.

Greater Part of it Will Go to the
Cities of the State Total
Amount.
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.
