CLUL'DHD IN ITS Hl.Ml'MClTY.
Rev. John A. Cass, of Philadelphia,
yesterday occupied tlio pulpit of tho
lirenu Judge Prc.-il)lciiati rliurch In the
niittii(" of the pitslor, Rev. Dr. I. J.
Landing.
In the niotnlng the sctxlce was at
tended liy a large concregullon. U"s-
plte the Intense heat tho scenting capac
ity of the largo niidlioiliim was or
cuplcrt to nearly the limit. Tho enn
Ki'oRutiun was privileged to hear a
sound, practical sermon on tho essen
tial ciuallflcntlons fw a Chrastlan char
acter. The dlscouise of Mr. Cass was
free from tiny verbiage or thcorlsiv
that might lob It of commendable sim
plicity. Mr. Cass pt cached from tho tevt "And
there were six steps to the throne,"
II Chronicles, lx:lS. Ho said In part:
'As there were ?K steps to Solmnan's
throne there are rix steps to the seat
uf Ood according to fads laid down In
the Pililo.
' We shall say that repentance Is tho
first stop. An a boy I can recall sor
tow for sin but that Is not repentance
In the scriptural sense. Sorrow Is to
vepentanee v hat a cover is to a hook
Determination to give tip sin Is the
recond part of repentance which goes
toward making up the whole. No per
son lives who Is or has been free from
this obligation. As a noted evangelist
in Knclnnd said to a nobleman who
owned the larger Interests of a certain
town, thoie was no altar fitting ppo
i tally to his person, because in doing
honor to (Jod no distinction Is made
between the rich and the poor. The
nobleman admit ted the point and re
pented In public nnd helped by his
"xnmple the hundreds of employes de
pendant upon him.
KVKKYONE KLlGIM.i;.
'Not only must everyone repent but
evotynnt may repent. N7 degree of sin
precludes a man from tho salvation of
repentance. Argument to the contrary
Is a whisper of the devil. ,1eun w.iiild
have forgiven Judas, had he asked It.
"Faith is the second ttep. It Is an
Intellectual phase of the situation
There is a dlfli rence between belief and
faith There are few men who fall to
believe In tho existence of God; the
very devils believe, hut it requires
more than that to bo saved. Faith on
our part requires some action consis
tent with wl'iit we believe.
"The Ilible saysi that without faith
it Is impossible to believe C!o.'. Well,
that's true of eveiything. We think
It is a simple proposition In its rela
tion to worldly things It is Just as
simple as regards our spiritual selves.
There was no hesitation when Moses
told his people to march between walls
of water according to command of Ood
through him. Thete was belief and
faith, In Moses or God, as you v III;
the illustration applies In either suii-c.
"Humility, the third step, Is not that
by which on-5 Is willing to shirk duty
in favor of another. Humility is Iln.t
of which we get an idea win n man
compares himself with (Tod. This step
of humility is important to take be
cause of its effect upon us. The worst
enemy we have to flsht ,!- ourselves.
Our selfishness is to us what Sandy
Hook bar is to the shipping entetlng
New York harbor. We find it dllllcult
to overcome it.
"A person's degree of humility may
be ascertained by tho amount of his
usefulness In the church. Humble men
you win always find useful. Pride Is
not known In the matter. If useful
ness gives a man a name, humility will
do it. 'He that humbleth hlmte'.f will
be exalted.' It may not appear so, but
you will find '.hat till great men who are
truly good are humble at heart.
"It is tha province of prayer, the
fourth step, to make the man who
prays become more and more !lko him
to whom ho prays. A model youn-?
man in th" church whose religious
faith is llxed goes to tho city and be
comes fascinated with associations
with which his soul formerly levoltcd
his habits change and ho becomes like
that which he loves So with mankind
everywhere. Those who wor.Oilp the
prince of AVales ape him in dress and
manner. 'While he praved ami as lit;
prayed' the scripture tcll. us 'the light
of his countenance was raised.' That Is
the result of communion with find.
HOPE, THE FIFTH STEP.
"We are alter prayer prepared for
the fifth step, liopo. Here is something
different frotr. trust, from faith. It Is
like expectation; It leads to Uia future.
After repentance, faith, humility and
prayer it is natural that man shi uld
have hope, because If It was absent
the first four steps would liavo It d to
an abrupt ending or a hacUwa-d move.
"Hope Is like an anchor which hold?
a ship in position; hope Is a Christian
man's, mainstay. Sailors anelmrul In
the parbor have no fear though the
anchor is something they cannot see.
Though unseen, they know it is there.
A man who loses friends ard relations
nnd home is Hio if he hits faith In the
anchor of hope.
Love, the sixth and Inst "tip Is not
tho one materially figured In tho text
but we know that love expresses some
thing given to the one loved. This sen
tlment Is the central Idea of Uivo nnd
It lit lags us to the platform whore Cod
Is; It Is the most Important step of nil.
it Is tho last crowning Christian grace
and by it wo may know that wl are
Christians. How? Because we lnvo
one another. P.epentance, humility,
prayer, hnpe-nre steps hut none Is the
end of the flight.
"It tequlres little or no argument to
emphasize tho truth that the element
of love must exist in any jjond work
to make It complete. Man ne'.-d have
in. f. ats for his own salvation If he
graduates from step to stop and nr
rlves at God's footstool with love for
Him. The union stands there for our
approach; th" way to It Is clear nnd
unobstructed save by qualities' that are
good and which the tjood possess."
POINTS OF UNIVERSALIS!.
Pint of n Rerlot o) Mormons by Rov.
I't W. Whippcii.
The first of a series of discourses by
Rev. V, AW Whlppen, of All Souls'
church, upon tho "Fine Points of ln.
versallsm," wus preached yesterday.
His text was Matthew vl;9; "Our
Futher whu ait. In heaven," and the
subject of the discourse was "The Uni
versal Fatherhood of God."
Tho sermon In substance was us fol
lows: lUllglnns vary In wotlh ,'ust as the re
puted natures of their gods vary. Chris
tianity Is Bipreme because Its God In this
respect Is Mlpteme. The Christian Hod
Is a Father. All Christians n-cept this
dcctrlne In a general way, but In many
en ips itcceptnnco seems a formal matter.
Men billtve that God la a Father some
times and under some circumstances. The
I'ntversalisl church teaches that God Is
u Father In all times, under all clrctim
staiu.es to all men. Tho Old Vestameiit
ghes giound for the docltlne and the
New Testament evidence Is ery strong.
Tho text Is slgnlllennt. Tin- p'irablp of
the Ptoillgal Son Is convincing. The apos
tles also teach tills truth. So did tho
early chinch fathers, CVmient of ltome,
Clement of Alexandria, Orlgen and Aih
imasliis were believers In It. This was
the doctrine ot the e.itly chinch for morn
than thtee centuries until In the ourth
century Augustine Introduced "original
sin" and "total dcpravPy." Together
with these great heresies he taught that
the race had lost Its sonnhlp and that
God was not the Father of mills, and tho
church followed him. From that day to
this his doctrine has misled and troubled
men.
Hat the next fifty years are sine to so
marvelous chanpes. Now there seems lit
tle disposition to deny that God Is the
Father of good men. Great sinners tiro
the stumbling block of theology now.
Hut tho Fathethood Is not an .Utrlbuto to
be put off and taken on at will. A father
remains a father. While 1 sin I shall no
estranged from Him; 1 shall nut enjoy
his companionship; 1 shall suffer, I shall
be miserable and lost and dead; t shall bo
a prodigal but If I am a prodigal, I am
a prodigal son and my Father will bo my
Father through It all.
Evil Is not consistent with Father
hood, neither Is pain nnd soriow. God
makes men by these means. Tho univer
sal Fatherhood of God is the central
truth 'if tho Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is
a truth powerful with which to win a
soul. It Is a motive that touches and ar
rests and saves. If we weie to invent a
character for God. we could not possibly
Invent one so full of piomlse. so full of
tender persuasive power to win nun '.it
the wav of llghteoiisness. and the church
lias no grander, no more practical mis
slon than to mnke men leailze tills. Thn
church that holds tills truth the loving
Fatherhood of Gotl for each and every
soul the chinch that holds It with ap
preciation and preaches It In love, will
never want a mission In the eartli and
will uevt r fall of being of service to man
kind. YOUNG PRIEST'S FIRST MASS.
Rev. .lob n J. Mcl.ouglilin Ollicinted nt
St. Joseph's Church, lllnool.n.
Rev. John J. Mcl.ouglilin. of Taylor,
read his first mass yesterday at St.
Joseph's church. Mlnooka, and the
congregation was so large that many
were unable to gain entrance to the
church and knelt on the steps. The
mass was begun at 10."0. The choir
sang Generah's mass.
Father .Mcl.ouglilin was assisted by
Rev. T. F. Carmody, of Mlnooka, with
Rev. J. J. O'Toole. of Providence, as
deacon; and Rev. M. F. l.oftus, of the
cathedral was sub-deacon. Joseph P.
Kelley, of Mlnooka. a seminarian at
St. Michael's college, Toronto, was
master of ceremonies. In the sanc
tuary were Rev. John I.oughian, pas
tor of St. Joseph's church; Rev. J. F.
Jordan, of Rendhatn, nnd Ilrother
Philip, of Philadelphia, formerly John
J. Egnu, of Mlnooka.
Father Carmody preached the ser
mon. It was appropriate to tho occa
sion of a young priest's first mass.
It was a fine sermon, delivered with an
earnest and Inspiring force. A great
er miracle was performed on the altar
by tho young pi lest, the speaker said,
when he uttered the words: "This Is
my body and this is my blood," than
If there occurred the upheaval of the
whole world; and It was a greater
mystery by far than the one that hap
pened ages ago when the first voice
b'oke the eternal silence and uttered:
"Let there be light." In the utterance
of these words the great God of heaven
comes down upon earth and assumes
substance under the form of bread and
wine.
The father and mother of Father
Mil.oughlln and the other members of
their family and a party of near rela
tives received holy communion
his hands. After the mass he
his blessing to the congregation.

Defendants convicted
week past, or who plead
(.cntoneod on Saturday
Judge Edwards. Frank
was clven seven years In
dining tho
guilty, were
morning by
Sel.eimeman
the penlten-
Gary for stabbing Patrolman John IX
Thomas, and Patiii k Rattle six years
for the murder of Paul Struvanlskey.
At the trial of Patrolman Thomas'
assailant the defense accounted for the
murderous looking knife with the story
that 'Sohouncman was a soldier In the
Gorman army, and that kind of a blade
was used by the soldiers of his regi
ment. Judge Edwards took tho weapon
when tho case was dosed and found
that It was manufactured by the Chut
taraugus Cutlery company, of Little
Valley, X. A'., and the defendant had
bought It at the Lackawanna Iron nnd
Steel company's store on Dec. S, 1SA7.
Ho said: "So there Is no question
that this defendant Is guilty of per
jury as well. I think this is one of the
most Important cases that has been
tried. The three wounds wore terrible
ones. Our police olllcers must be pro
tected. They always go about with
their lives In their hands, and are
liable to meet some one with a knife
or revolver at any time. I do not know
upon what principle the jury recom
mended you to the mercy of the court.
AVe must certainly disregard the rec
ommendation. AVe are sorry this man
has gotten Into this trouble. He seems
to be of u better character than are
those generally whu commit crimes of
this nature."
PLEA FOR RATTLE.
Attorney James J. o'Malley made a
plea for Rattle. Judge Edwards said
it Is too true that in eases of this kind
the punishment falls heaviest upon the
Innocent mother, wife, and children,
but it Is Impossible for the court to
overlook the necessity of giving out
punishment that will act as a deterrent
effect upon others He said he had In
tended giving Rattle a much longer
sentence, but upon consultation with
Judge Gunster placed It at six years.
Hugh McLotighlin, of Keyser Valley,
