W. WILLIAMS, D. D., PREACHES HERE AGAIN. Ho Resigned from tho Pastorate of tho South Main Avenuo Church Seven Years Ago and Spent tho Intervening Tinio In Wales He Was Greeted By Two Largo Con gregationsSyllabus of His Ser mon. Rev. J. w. Williams, D. D., now of Swansea, Wales, formerly of West Scranton, once more has lilted the pulpit of the South Main Avenue First Welsh Baptist church. He preached at both services yesterday In the Welsh lan guage In the morning and In English In the evening. It will he seven years In October since he gave up this pas torate and it was six yenrs last May since he last preached therein. Immense congregations greeted their former nnd much beloved pastor, und after each service n) short reunion ser vice was held. His discourse of the evening Is printed herewith. His text Is found recorded In Acts, xlx:13-15, as follows: The church nt Kphcsus wns founded by Paul on his return from his second mis sionary tour. Ills visit was brief, Includ ing only n single Sabbath, but the work ho wrought In the city was mighty, nnd the result permanent. It Is nmong tho seven churches for which the upostollc exile received the Divine message in l'atmos, nnd Is highly commended for Its loyalty and scivlce. Six years later when the apostle paid his second visit to Kphesus, ho found tho church very Im perfectly Instructed nnd deficient In spirit ual attainments. Somo of tho members not only had nevir been regenerated, but had never heard of tho dispensation of the Spirit, nnd had simply been baptised on tho profession of their repentance for sin "unto John's baptism." REPENTANCE AND FAITH. On discovering that their former bap tism had been Incomplcto "they wcro b'li). tlsed Into the nnmo of the Lord Jesus." In tho light of this teaching of (ho apostle und tho sanction ho must havo given to tho second baptism of the Ephcs lans It Is conclusive that the ordinance when administered, except on profession of repentance nnd faith In tho Lord Jesus, Is both Insufficient and worthless. However, somo rejected this upostolls exposition of tho truth, "but spake ovll of that way before tho multitude," In consequence of which Paul nnd that part of tho church which had accepted hl'i teaching, withdrew nnd continued the ser vices "In the school of ono Tyrnnnus." Here n mighty ministry was- pxpeiienccd. "And God wrought speelnl miracles by the hands of Paul." These demonstra tions of power were the Divine attesta tion to his enunciation of tho truth, and gave Immense force and authority to his ministry. No one but those who "wcro hardened nnd believed not" could dls puto tho Inspiration of his utterances, or that his message was the evangel of oGd. Dlvlno and healing magnetism emanate.! from his garments rnd "handkerchiefs nnd aprons," which had touched his body, conveyed the miraculous power to tho sick "nnd tho diseases departed from them, and tho evil spirits went out of them." CUPIDITY OF THE JEWS. Somo of the Itinerant Jewish exotclsts who witnessed theso ministrations upo.i the sick regarded this benetlcont power as a new sourco of wealth If they could only command It. They had heard and remembered tho mystic words used by tho npostlo In healing, and resolved to try their own hand at tho work. The test Is a record of the experiment with Us disastrous results. They stood over tho possessed and scid "Wo adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preached." Hut tho evil spirit refused to obey their com mand and defied them, saying "Jesus I know nnd Puul 1 know, but who aro yeV" These sons of Sceva were tnught that Divine power cannot reach men to heal nnd to save them, except through tho medium of sanctified life. The only channel along which tho power of God will bo communicated to tho perishing la n nature regenerated and purilled by tho Spirit. The light of truth ni.d the love of God us revealed In Christ aro to pass through the llfo nnd character of men und thus bless the homes of tho land. First Christianity becomes potential only as It Influences life. These Jewish exorcists must have regnrded the npos tle's ministry ns a new development of tho nrt which they practiced themselves. Paul had discovered n new name to ad jure by of by far greater power than that which they were using. His evangel wis only a new form of exorcism; and Its ministrations required no further qualifi cation than acquaintance with tho new magic formula used In connec. tlon with It. That this new Gospel produced unprecedented results they could not dispute, for were not tho evi dences of Its power upon character nnd life und health abundant everywhere around them. THE MAGIC TOWER. The school of Tryannus had become a center of somo unknown and Immeasur able force In the city, nnd from it flowed streams of beneficent Influences In nil di rections. Moral and physical evil, in nil Its varied forms nnd character, disap peared nt Its command. Tho magic pow er accompanying the name of Jesus as uttered by tho npostlo conquered nil dis eases and subdued all evil spirits. Theso Itinerant Jews determined to try this new ministry, "nnd took upon them to name over them which had evil spirits tho nnme of the Lord Jesus." with the Jesuit that they were humiliated and put to flight for the many turned upon them nnd they fled out of the hotiso naked and wounded." It had never occurred to these mereen nry sons of the chief priest ihnt this mir nculous ministry was tho result of le change which tho new evangel had wrought upon Paul's life, nnd that the Divine Influence would not pnss to the community through nny nature winch was under the dominion of sin. Thev knew not thnt the predominance of evil In llfo utterly disqualified It as a Dlvlno Instrument, nnd made It a non-conductor of supernatural Influences. Paul stood be. foro thm ns the representative of n new life, nnd an ll'ustrntlon of tho regenerat ing power of tho Gospel which ho now beforp them. Tho convulsions through which he hnd passed nnd tho reformative changes ho had experienced were nil unknown to them. As a. matter cf fact, thev were blind to tho greatness and grandeur of tho personality nmongst them, nnd thought only of tho miracles ho wrought nnd the possible gain accruing to them If by any means they might be dupli cated. LOVE OF GAIN ENTERS. Alas! this Is not nn uncommon error In our nge. Men form their estlmato of Christianity as It brings them gain, nnd profess It In order to command tho os. teem and confidence of their fellow citi zens, Religious position and character, church fellowship nnd ofllce tire soma times prostituted to sordid ends. Some regard tho ordinances of the Christian church ns means to convey to men soma supernatural and mysterious Influence, ns It "naming over them the name of the Lord Jesus" had a transforming effect. "They be bllng leaders of the blind." Christianity affects us only as It ontc.-s our life. We receive oxegen into our sys lem by Inhaling the atmosphere. We receive Dlvlno strength and become Christly only nB Christianity enters our life and regenerates us. And In propor- Continued on Faga l ON THE BRIDGE AT .MIDNIGHT. Two Colored Walters Come Together and Ono Was Laid Low. Jim Austin nnd John Lno, colored waiters at the Rudolph, met on the western end of Linden street bridge Saturday night nt the hour when witches are snld to stalk abroad nnd they hnd a conflict. Leo came out of it with a battered head. His scalp over tho left ear was contused, nnd there was a lump over his rlclit eyo ns big as a turnip. Ho had to be taken In tho ambulance to the Lacl'.awanna hospital. Last night he Informed a Tribune reporter that the trouble grew out of a. matter of employment. Lee went tvwny a few weeks ngo, nnd Austin wns hired to relieve him. When Lee got back Austin's services were terminat ed, and that angered him. Leo snld he wns out taklnc a stroll Saturday night. Ho went over the river by way of West Lackawanna nvenue, along Seventh street, to Lin den nnd thence to the brldue. He stood on the bridge a short while, when along ccme Austin and saying, "So I meet you hero you old stiff," let g:o a welt of n billy nnd knocked blm down nnd then began to kick him In the face, YEOMAN OF THE TEXAS. He Spent Yesterday in This City as the Guest of John Merriman, of Capouse Avenue. Louis Merriman, a yeoman on the battleship Texas, spent yesterday In the city us tho guest of his brother, John Merriman, of Capouse nvonue. Green Ridge. The Texas Is now in tho Brooklyn navy yard, having rents In her fixed tin which were made durlmr the engagement off Santiago on July 2, when Cervera's fleet was destroyed, Mr. Merriman obtained a short fur lough nnd came on here to visit his brother. He nrrlved In this city Sat urday evening at C o'clock and left Inst night for New York. Ho must report on board tho Texas at 8 o'clock this morning. During the creat battle he wns nt his station In the engine room, down In tho hold of the ship, nnd only got a glimpse of the light when ho was nl lowetl to go on fleck for a few minutes. The principal damage sustained by the Texas was wrought by a shell that struck the ash hoist and exploded. The effect of this was keenly felt In the boiler and engine rooms nnd most of the men who wcro tolling down there making it possible for the Texas to give the lleelng Spanish cruisers a spirited chase, thought tho time for tho closing1 of their earthly accounts had come. It seemed ns If a hole had been punched In the side of the ves sel below the water line. Mr. Merriman presented his brother with pieces of the shell that wrought such havoc in tho nsh hoist and also with frngments of the shell that struck te Tcxa.i during the bombardment of the forts nt Snntlngo and killed ono of the seamen, besides doing a good denl of damage to the interior of the ship. The way portions of this shell, which was a small one, cut through Iron and steel was an Impressive demonstration of the terribly destructive power of modern ammunition. HAS APPLIED POIt A PENSION.

Interesting Facts Gleaned from tho Annual Report of James M. Clark, Chief of tho Bureau of Industrial Statistics, Department of Internal Affairs An Increase of Sixty Per Cent, in tho Production of Black Plate Increased Tonnage of Opeu Hearth Steel. The following facts are gathered from Information furnished by James M. Clark, chief of the bureau of indus trial statistics, department of Internal affairs, extracted from his forthcoming annual report for ISO": It shows the total production of open hearth steel for 1S97 wns 1,421,373 gross tons; total production of Bessemer, 2,r.SC,278 gross tons; total production crucible, 49,245 gross tons; combined production for the yenr, 4,050,89 gross tons. This ns against 3,345,529 tons ns complied by tho American Iron and Steel associa tion In 1S90, showing nn Increase for 1897 of Til, 307 gross tons, of 21.02 per cent. A compnrlson by detail shows open hearth 1,421,373 tons ns against 1,009, C08 in 1890, nn Incrensc of 411,705 gross tons or 40.8 per cent; Bessemer, 12.8 per cent.; cruclble,49,215 tons us against 43,107, an Increnso of 0,138 gross tons or 14.2 per cent. The totnl production of pig Iron Is shown to have been 4,017,31 gross tons: nn Increase of M1.2S4 tons, or 14.7 per cent. The vnltio Is shown to bo $48, SS4.S54 ns against J45.172.039, nn Increase of $3,712,815 or 8.2 per cent., but the average value per ton shows a .shrink age of 6.0 per cent;, the value for 1890 having been 11.21 as ngnlnst $10.58 In 1897, or a decrease of C3 cents per ton. The aggregate cost of basic material out of which this production of pig Iron was made, which menus only tho Iron ore, nnd scrap or cinder If any used, Is shown to have been J29,9G2,r33 ns ngalnst J20.25t.12O for 1S90, nn in crease of $3,711,113 or 14.1 per cent. It must bo understood that neither fuel nor limestone nor nny other Item of cost Is Included ns basic materlnl with tho Iron producing materials here named. The cast per ton of this basic material In 1897 wns J0.48 nnd In 1890 $0.52, a decrease of 4 cents per ton. THERE WAS A DECREASE.

The average lnbr cost per ton was $1.01 as against $1.14, a decrease of 13 cents. It will be noticed from these figures that while there Is shown to have been u, reduced cost per ton of labor of 13 cents nnd of basic materlnl of 4 cents, or In all 17 cents, that tho selling price shrunk 03 cents. These figures nre not Intended to lead up to tho cost of production, ns there Is yet to be considered fuel. limestone, general management, ofllce help, Investment nnd every Item of expense except the ores nnd labor. , Compnrlson ns to capital Invested cannot bo had for the reason that sep aration has not heretofore been care fully made between the capital In vested In the rolling mill and tho fur nace, nor has It yet been possible to get nn entire separation, but, it Is prac tically safe to say that the capital in vested in the nctive pig Iron furnaces for 1S97 wns $41,000,000.
