ITR. WILLIAMS REFUSES CALL OF
WELSH BAPTIST CHURCH.
Hie letter Was Head to the Congre
gatloA Last Evening by Benjamin
Hughes, Chairman of the Official
Board Effort Being Made to Con
solidate the Two Republican Clubs
in This Part of the City Farewell
to Miss Harriet Brooks at Salva
tion Army Barracks.
That Ilev. J. IV. Williams. U D.. of
tivransea, Wales, will never again be
paator of the First Welsh Baptist
church )( now a settled fact. His posi
tive exnresalon In the form of u letter
of non-nccoptancc was read to the con
Kragatlon last evenln by Behjnmln
HukIisb, chulrman of the oillclal board.
It will be remembered that a call was
tendered him over a. month ago, short
ly after his return home from a busi
ness trip hero. During his presence In
this city he was the guest of Mr. and
Mrs. Evan J. Davles, of South Alain
avenue, and occupied the pulpit of his
former church tlio four Sundays in
August.
At that time the old enthusiasm of
the congregation which had grown
Bomewhat cold durlnsr the six years or
more, Intervening between departure
and return of the reverend gentleman,
revlvpd. The revival of that dormant
feeling brought out a desire to recall
Dr. Williams to the church. Meetings
wore held and a majority vote for a
call, though not a unanimous one, was
fiont him.
In his answer of non-acceptance Dr.
Williams states In substance that he
felt that his present congregation has
the greatest claim upon him, Inasmuch
ns the work there was but well begun
and he did not care to leave It only
half completed. His work here with
this church was thoroughly complete
when he loft It. That all the church
now needed was a Rood pastor to sus
tain the church work. He tendered his
deep appreciation of their desire to
have him leturn and sent Christian
greeting. Ho also stated that he had
been III ever since reaching Swansea
on his return nnd that an operation
had become necessary.
ABOUT THE CLUBS.
Despite an announcement to that ef
fect in a contemporary, the Idea of
union of the two Republican cluhs,
viz., the West Side Republican league
nnd the West Side Central Republican
club, has not been either settled or
abandoned.
The Idea of such a union was
broached nome time ago and for ob
vious reasons. Two clubs of the same
political faith In one section were very
apt to clash and thus affect the party's
position. Also membership and finances
were matters of Importance. The very
best workers for the party are to be
found either In one or the other of the
two clubs, but no olllce holder or
prominent politician on this side cared
to ally himself to one or the other for
fear of exciting comment, etc.
These facts, becoming more and more
evident as time went by suggested the
union. The Central club being the old
er made overtures and the league met

For the Annual Blanket Sale comes around as reg
ular as the season which renders it timely, and as it is
one of these events in which we take particular pride
showing what we can do in the way ot extraordinary
value giving, thrifty housewives, hotelkeepers and
others who are deeply interested in the problem of
providing perfect comfort for sleepers during cold
nights, have come to regard our Annual Blauket Sale
as one of the most important event of the year; first,
because it opens the door to practical economy, and
second, because the blankets offered at this sale repre
sent the very best makes and qualities on the market
at prices which last for ten days only and are never
repeated again during the season. These facts are so
well known to our patrons and recoguized by the pub
lic in general that further commeut is unnecessary.

HAPPENINGS OF
DUNMORE BOROUGH
BERMON DELIVERED BY EVAN
DELIST COBB.
HI? Subject Was the Catholicity of
the Position of tho Disciples ol
Christ Miss Mildred Myers, of
Throop Street, Entertained Friends
Saturday Afternoon nt Her Homo.
William Stlno Tendered a Surprlso
Party nt His Homo on Throop
Street Personal Notos.
Evangelist Cobb delivered an excel
lent sermon on "The Catholicity of the
Position of the Disciples of Christ" In
the Now Assembly hall, on Drinker
street, last evening. The text wag tak
en from Matt, xxvlli, 20: "Teaching
them to observe all things whatsoever
I have commanded you." In part, he
spoke as follows:
"It Is the Bacred duty of Christ's fol
lowers to heed this Divine command.
Out of this conviction sprang the
movement which now Includes over a
million communicants In tho United
States with missions In Japan, India,
China and Africa. This movement is
based upon fidelity to God's word as
the only nnd nil sufllclcnt rule of faith
and practice. It Is nbrcast of the best
Christian thought of the age, and Is in
hearty accord with the growing desire
In all churches for the union of nil
Christians In an undenominational
church and under an undenominational
Christ. The following outline will ltn
purt Information as to our views:
"First We hold that the Bible as
God's holy and Inspired word, con
stitutes tho only nuthorltatlve value of
faith and prnctlce. All Christians agree
with the first part of this sentence, but
many add to this Inspired rule, the
decision of pope, or council, the tradi
tion of the fathers, or the standard, or
confessions of faith.
"Second In common with nil evnn
gellcal Christians, we believe that Jesus
Christ Is tho 'only begotten Son of
God. But wo do not require any oth
er confession of faith, as a pro-requisite
to baptism, than that which tho
apostle Peter made (Matt, xvl, 18):
"Thou art the Christ, the Son of the
living God.' Here we differ from oth
er Christians only as they differ from
-God's word, which knows no other
creed.
"Third We believe In the personality
of the Holy Spirit, but differ from
many In declining to define that which
Holy Scripture has left undefined. We
prefer to express our views on this
profound theme 'Not In words which
mar's wisdom teaches, but which the
spirit teaches' (Cor. II: 13).
Fourth We believe with all Chris
tians in the Holy Spirit's Influence In
conversion. But we differ from those
who hold that the Spirit converts with
out tho Instrumentality of the word.
'The words that I speak unto you, they
nre Spirit, and they are life' (John vl:
63).
Fifth In common with all Christians
we believe that the Spirit of God dwells
in overy Christian's heart, but we dif
fer from those who teacli that the spir
it enters the sinner's heart prior to
conversion, and for the purpose of
turning him to the Lord. Such a view
is, In our Judgment, opposed to such
Scriptures as John xlv, 17; John I, 12;
Gal. Iv, 6; Acts II, 38.
"Sixth In common with nil Chris
tians we hold, as our Lord taught
(Mark xvl, 1G), 'He that believeth and
Is baptized shall be saved!' Hence that
n penitent believer Is a proper subject
for Christian baptism. We differ from
those who affirm that Infants are Scrip
tural subjects for baptism, as these
little ones have never sinned, they need
baptism no more than they need faith,
or repentence. If they die In Infancy
they are saved by the atoning blood
of Christ.
"Seventh In common with the whole
Christian world, we teach that the
Immersion of a penitent believer Into
tho name of the Father, Son and Holy
Spirit, is Christian baptism; but dif
fer from those who hold that any oth
er mode of baptism Is Christian bap
tism. "0!ghthWe believe In two Chris
tian ordinances baptism and the
Lord's supper. The communion we ob
serve each first day of the week (Acts
xx, 7), and believe that the Lord's
table should bo free to all his follow
ers. "Ninth In common with all churches
we hold that the name "Christian" Is
a proper and Scriptural designation,
both for the Individual believer and
for the churches, but we differ from
many In neglecting nil human and non
srrlptural names, believing that they
perpetuate schisms In His church.
"Tenth We hold It to be the sacred
duty of every Christian to labor for
Christian union, that the world may
believe that God bus sent Christ Into
tne world (John xvll, 21). Hence, we
nvlte Jill who love our common Re
deemer, to study carefully this truly
Catholic position."
