About six vueks ago. xx hlle Ht. Hev.
nishop Hoban xas olllclating at the

Irish Catholics of Taylor approached
him upon the advisability of forming

promised to consider the matter. The
parish xx'as cteatetl last Friday, as ex
clusively announced in The Tribune,
Ht. Re HNhop O'Hata made known
that Hev. James A. MoflUt. of South
Scrnnton, would lie glx-en charge.
Last evening the rector-to-be and his
prospective parishlonets met In Web
bcr'H hall, on South Main avenue In
Taylor, and considered the preliminary
plans for the organization of the new
parish. Father MoflUt addiessed the
meeting and his leceptlon xx'as most
cordial.

The Ilebievx looked upon tills t ode of

high as heaxen and deep as hell.
A new 01 del of things was 11 neces

tures. A new exposition of the deca
logue. In a wind, a new law. a nexx
commandment Hence Jesus t nine . and

Moses had given.' Wlienie olitalnetl He
this authoiit.x ;
Yet with all authority Jesus pio
ilnlins u new law and u new life, which
the law of Most s could not promise.
John gives this thought n beautiful set

leaves him helpless nfter he heais It

Now grnie and knowledge supply both

CHURCH'S GREATEST NEED.
This is the chinch's gi cutest need to
day a. quickening, 11 lesuiiettlon from
the dead end defunct theoiles to active
vital pervlce In this world. Theoiy Is
a bodv. practice Is life, unite the two
antl you have a Hv lng being. Religion,
If anything. Is pi actual.
A theory which Is too high for piac
tlce Is of no e.iithly good, if not prac
tical, religion is good for nothing. Oh'
e saints of a goodness to be done
somewhere else, of a heaven to be in
the sxxeet by-e-nnd-bye.
Don't you think It Is time for Clnls
tlan common sensv to think of a heaven
here ns xvell as a heaven theie, and
that the heie is as piet ions as the there
and now Is as Impoitant ns then, and
that theie Is every mnteilal in the here
out of which to make a heaven'.' That
the v Isdom and lox t xx hlch would make
vou so sxxeet In the sunnv land xxould
make oll equally xholt"oine heie'.'
Antl the place most needing angels is
heie, and heie is today and theie Is
tomorrow: and that toinoiiow never
comes and of Its nature never caa.
Giace and tiuth have come and they
are not for the aftei this life, but for
the now.
The reign of truth would make a
heaven nnywheie; and what Is the use
of dying to get to heaven If we can get
It by living It? Theie Is no other time
but now. Truth Is life, and xxe cannot
get the truth by lying or by dying. The
giave Is not the gate to Immoitallty.
We have got to go the other way.
What, then. Is this new- command
ment? Not an old law toveied over by
the dust of the ages' and brought out
Into the light, but a new command
ment; a nexx law foi a new age; a new
oitlliiaute for a new older of things.
Love one another. This Is tho law-, the
new law, the law of the new kingdom
the law by which earth become? an
Eden. Jesus Chi 1st wus tho most pto
giesslve man of UN age.
HE AVAS AVEARY.
He was weary of tho solemn nioek
eiv of the pilcsts, weary of their
mumblings, culled run) era, vxcai
of their woishlp of snolls, patch
ments nnd sucied books Hence
the fiequeniy of the xxord "new"
upon Ills lips. Thev said His doctrlm
was 'nexx." He told them It xxas folly
to put "new" wine in old bottle and
"new" cloth In old gin ments Tho old
commandments weie trom without, and
written on tables of stone; the new
commandments nom wlf n, and vxilt
ten on tho He.shy table ' the heurt.
The old commandments al in und ter
rify. The new captivates und Inspires,
and the lust Is better than tlu Hist, be
cause It contains much Hint vvus lack
ing In the fonuer anil contains all that
was In the old and more, for love Is the
fulfilling of the law.
our daily need Is n piesent helper.
Savior. Men have long heard of n God
In heaven. We now have Him with us
on the earth. The vvmld has gioxxn
weary of your fai-off God. your silent,
sleeping Deity, who only opens His eyes
by the sound or me ime una 1110 narp,
who can only be approached by pie
scribed forms and ceiemonles. The
people have lost all faith In a Deity
who leaves the poor to perish In their
poveity. The want of our age Is God
In man.
"Hy this shall ye be known." This
Is the badge of dluulploshlp, not your
cry, "l-ord, Lord," not your profeselon
of snlntshlp, hut your piiictlce of bioth
erly kindness. Hy this, not your cieed,
not your thurch letter, not your fnstltig
and prujllig, not yimi while 01 icd lib
bon. not vour slur or etoss, not your
garb or watch-xxotd, but b thl "your
love for one nnolhei." This Is the
Christian llxer.x the only title robe of
the saint Nothing but tills' ill avail.
This Is the end of the law, the tup root
fiom which spilng all the Chtlstlnn
gluces, and without this, vvhatpvei we
muy pictcntl ot profess, xxe nie noth
ing 'Love nevel 'fiilleth but whether
theie be tuophctlfs, they shall full,
Whethei theie be tongues, they shall

THE VAN HORN APPEAL
Now Receiving Consideration fiom
Justice Shiras, of the United
States Supreme Court Going
Befoie Boaid of Pardons.
Van Horn's attorneys aro anxiously
awaiting wind fiom Justlte Shlias. of
the I'nlted States supreme couit, as
t( whethei 01 not he will grant a writ
of enoi antl penult the case to be ap
pealed. Mr Wetlenian, when he waited upon
Justice Shlias the foie pa it uf last
week, vxns given an hour's audience
arid peimitted to levlexv briefly th"
gi'ttuiids upon which he bases his ap
paal, namely, that me bill of lights ot
the federal constitution was violated In
allowing the juiy to view- the scene of
tHo killing In the nbsence of the de
fendant and In locking the court room
iloor timing a part of the trial.
Judge Shiras agreed that two very
important questions were raised, but
said that a recent act of congress had
clsanged the mode of procceduro In cases
of this kind, and the writ of error now
can be secured from the chief justice
ol the state In which thf case nrlses.
(Jut of couitesy to the Pennsylvania
svipieine court. Justice Shiras preferred
that Mr. "vVedeman should submit th"
matter to Chief Justice Stenet, of
I't'iinsylvanla.
Mr. "Wedemaii saw Chief Justice
Sterret on AVednesday. The chief just-
Ice said that while he felt the state
s'lpieme court had committed no error,
lit would like to have the case revlew
el and authorized Mr. AVedeman to in
fjrm Justice Shiras that he should not
Hesitate to grant the writ of error out
ot any feeling of delicacy. This was
communicated to Justice Shiras and
his action Is anxiously awaited.
In the meantime. Attorney George S.
I.loin Is working on the papers to be
presented to the pardon board on Dec.
GANNON CASE ONCE MORE.
Ex-Judge Stanton Wants to Have
Him Declared Insane.
The famous James Gannon case
bobbed up III court again Saturday.
Gannon, It will be remembeied, was
committed four ycais ngo for con
tempt of couit in refusing to sign a
deed as dliected by Judge IMwaids.
He can secute his iclcase at any time
by simply obeying the Instiuctlon of
coutt. but he believes that the order
of couit was unjust and he says he
will lot In a cell before he will obey.
What makes his action all tho more re
markable Is that his refusal to s.Ign
the deed does not hinder his adversary
In the litigation from enjoying full
possession of the piopoity.
Kx-Judge Stanton, who was Gan
non's counsel In the suit In question,
went before Judge Kdwaids Saturday,
and, after arguing that theie was but
little question of Gannon being of un
sound mind, at least as far as this
matter was concerned, suggested that
couit direct the county commissioners
to Institute nn Inquiry to establish It.
Judge Hdxvards said It was not with
In the ptovlnce of tho couit to suggest
such a pioceedlng. A fotmal motion
dl.'citing such an Inquiry would be en
tertained Judge Edwards stated.
L-Judgc Stanton was piompted in
?T . o luugs and incipient
lftllO,n Svtlincol,umP'ion' Always
for children. Tastes good. Doses arc small. z,c.
Look Around.'
this move by learning that Gannon
had made wild statements to a. news
paper reporter concerning the case,
which reflect on his counsel and the
court, and would create no end of
scandal If they were not met by some
such action as he suggested.
