8 THE 6CRAOTON TRIBUNE-MONDAY MORHTNti-. MAY 17. 1S!)7. mu $k and City Suburban FOR YOUNG PEOPLE. Rev. R. Eblls Williams, of London, Preached for Them in First Welsh Baptist Church, Hlnco the departure of Ttcv. AV. S. Jones from thu First Welsh Uaptlst church, tho pulpit has been filled by different ministers, itmunir tho moxt notable being the Hev. H. Kills Will lams, of Castle Street Baptist church, London. Mr. AVIlllams occupied tho nbove pulpit, yesterday mornliiR and cvenliiB, and nt tho latter service preached a forceful sermon on "llnnns seh'H Life and Its Lessons for Youiik People. The preacher first briefly referred to tho historical value of the records of Manassch's life, nialntnlnlnR that though tho rtlbllcal account of some of tho Incidents stood alono and uncor roborated by any external evidence, that all the Incidents were quite In harmony with which we know of tho vicissitudes to which the life of such a petty prince was liable In those prim itive times. Assuming, therefore, their truth ho proceeded to tell the story and to point out the lessons. Ho first of nil described tho historical situation in tho time of Mnnnssoh, and traced the origin of that prince's hostility to the reformation party In the kingdom of Judah to the Influent of Assyria with in his realm. The Assyi Ian empire wan tho givv. world powi" of the day. The surrounding petty klngdomn were nl ready crushed under Its heel and tho fate of Judah trembled In the balanc. Its was a conquering nation. Its gods were considered powerful, Its culture tho height of that which was fine and elegit i;, Its manner those that were proper it a strong and mighty people. Its presence on tho borders of the sub ject kingdom of Judah exercised tre mendous moral power within. To this Mnnnysoh succumbed. He became As syrian in hli sympathies and habits, In his thoughts nnd Ideas, and found all worthy of admiration other where than in his own country, nmong his own peo ple and in Jehovah, hl3 God. Then the preacher proceeded to remark that these forces which brought Manasseh under their power are not merely the adjuncts of a civilization that Is long passed away. They rather pervade ev ery department of human life today with tho same force as ever. Young men nnd women often find themselves surrounded by an atmosphere of public opinion, voiceless It may be, but ever present and Impressive, which con stantly presents to their minds entirely false views of life and conduct. Ke llglon Is often associated with all that Is pleasurable, free and manly In life. Tho pursuit of wealth and material prosperity are represented as the su premo objects for which men should strive. These are no less hostile to our best Interest nnd true development, to all thRt Is noble and of real worth In human character, than were Assyrian manners, culture nnd most of all As syrian worships, to the life, mission and stability of tho Hebrew nation In the times of Manesseh. We must be constantly on our guard ngalnst these If we mean to build that character which Ood has meant us to have. Then the preacher described how Manasseh became tho persecutor of Clod's elect. From a inoro observer he soon became an nctlvo agent in the per secution of the reformation party. He persuaded himself Into tho belief that he was acting In the Interest of true liberalism and culture within his realm. The reforms advocated with such elo quence by tho prophets were the prod uct of narrow minds, tho mngnlflcence, splendor nnd power of this world-empire. Ho appears to be a man singu larly deficient In power to recognize tho deeper elements of tho national life nnd character. He had no eye except for material things. The laxer moral ity and tho greater license to grntlfy his own pleasure and to Indulge hi his own pet vices, permitted under the heathen culture nppealed to tho baser elements In his nature. Tho prophets with their stern morality became a public nuisance a disturbing clement In his kingdom not to be tolerated any longer. Thus Hezeltlah's son be came the persecutor of Hezcklnh's peo ple. To succumb to tho ways of the world unmenns us all. It fashions us Into strange forms far from anything that we were ever Intended to be. It de stroys our flner emotions, our preccp tlon of right nnd wring, our sympathy with the higher, the more spiritual the diviner for of life. The young man who makes the material pomp nnd power of this world the goal of his am bition, the society of his boon com panions the height of enjoyment. In dulgence In sin In whatever form the delight of his soul, little knows tho tre mendous risk he Is running. He may gain the world, but he loses his own true life. And. finally, the preacher referred to his marvellous conversion, maintain ing that it was not so sudden ns it ap pears. Karly training had something to do with It. It Is thought nnd means that Clod's spirit works. He earnestly nppealed to his audience not to be deceived by the glitter of np pearances the pomp and power of ma terial prosperity, but to be faithful and steadfast In their allegiance to the spiritual view of life which alone Is the true one to look steadily to the unseen to believe In Ood the Father as revealed In Ood the Son.. Hev. D. J. Wllllnms, of Peckvllle, was present and offered prayer. for enlistment," and Itcv. 9. F. Mat hewn addressed the congregation on "Training for the Service."

Sir: I feel It my duty to contradict a few statements made by Captain V. A. May beforo tho anthracite Investigation committee, a icport of which appeared In your paper Friday last. The following U a lls.t of assertions made by Captain .May: First untcrtlon: "Miners average from four to six cars per day." 1 take It for granted this Is meant for n fi'li-time day, but it Is unnecessary for mu to wiy It it untrue, for nny miner In Forest City could prove thut suih Is not the uixn If they Ic slred to do so. Second assertion: "Min ers earn from 2.1o to $3 per day.'' 1 wilt not attempt to deny that they have not earned this money in years past, hut 1 do know tlat at tho present time they nro earning from $1 to $2, und fven on last pay day one miner In Forest City had S7 cents to take home as wages for the month of April and the above cape Is hy no means an cxcootional one. Third as sertion: Captain May know the employes had n hard time to thrive, but knew com paratively few cases ot destitution? nnd on Investigating his company had been unablo to timl such eases In lefutlng this last assertion let me say that never In the history of Forest Clly has tho daikncss of destitution and de spair been felt to such an extent as It Is today. Men know not whnt to do, whero 'to go or how to live, and It Is with dis heartened step thnt tho miner goes to tho pay car for his monthly earn! lgs, for ho knows full well ho will bo unable to pro vide shoes nnd clothing for the little ones with tho money due to him; ay, and may hap feels that tho tlmo Is come when vu thu staff of life will be very meagre. Per haps Captain May doc not realize or know the condition of his worklngmni; If he does, I am simply astounded by tho state-rent made by him before the com mittee and I dnro assert there Is One who will provldo more liberally for thp miners of Forest CItv In the kingdom to como than they nro now being provided for by thoso who term themselves chil dren of Ood and pillars of His church. I am yours truly. William Hums Urown. Vandllng, Ta., May 15, 1S97. Surgical Operations Averted. Rev.
