Iititbor Hess Waring, tho New Pastor tit tho Abovo Church, Re gins His Pastoral Duties Preached His First Sermon at tho Morning Service; Attendance nt Each Was Largo In Treating His Subject Last Night Ho Ottered Many Original Suggestions. At the Ot ace nvnncitllcal Lutheran chinch, corner of MndHon iivetutu and Mulberry street, the Rev. Luther Hess AVaiing, who succeeds, tho Rev. Fostei I. Gift as pastor of the abovo church, yesterday began his pastoial duties. He preached at both the regular ser vices. The now pastor Is an able speaker, clear and concise In his ex pressions. The attendance at each ser vice was latge. In the moinlng his text was "Master. I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest" (Malt , vlll:PJ). In the evening his elltcouise was based upon Christ's words, tis given In Matt., vl.21: "No man can setvc two mnsteis; for either he will hate the one and line the other, or else he will hold to the one and de spise the other. Ye cannot seive God and Mammon." He .said, In pnit. "Man's affections and obedience, at the Inst test, ennnot be dl lded It Is a law of human nature that supiemp affection or allegiance can be lived on only one obje ct. A man cannot follow tho law ot flod and the suggestions of Satan at the same time 'Mammon' Is a Syilac wind, a name glen In an Idol woishlped as the god of i lehes. Mat tin Luther said: 'To have monev and ptoperty Is not sinful, ntovlded It be come not thv master, but tematn thy (irtitnt and thou Its master.' Wealth, honestly acquired nnd hnnoiably and lightly used for God and man Is n boon and blessing but It l.s to be a means, lathei than an end. m'T oni: masti:u. "We can seno one master, or act ac coidlng to eiiic principle foi a time and then change to another. We can serve one master oi rule In teallty and an other In pretense. Judas piobablj wns never a tine disciple at heart. In human n.itiue there Is o much sham and delusion, hioirlsv and pietenso. In piospotity, filemls are many an 1 near. In ndvorsln, few and fai awa. "Wo can setve two masters unci ate on the same side and who dllfer only in degtee; but heie no pilnelple Is .it Make, no lldellty inxohed that is not common to both. , It Is plain that no man can sene two masters at the tame time who leptesent opposite In tel est and kingdoms. One of the two sei Ices must be necessat lly merely outwatd. or, what Is wiuse, one of the masters must be hated and despised, because tine seivlee piesiipposes love and attachment. "In attempting a double seivlee. a man can only be a hvpocrlte. n tiultor, an Aaron Hurr. God lequltes the whol" man and will not .shine the heutt wit'i the uoibl.

The world comes Into jour lellgion and n little icllglon Is mixed with a worldly life. When the water of the s-en gels into the ship, the ship got s elov n Into tho sea. "The text does not suj-. 'Ye must not.' nor 'je should not,' but "e cannot setve God and Mammon.' The seivlee of God should he, must be, an undivided set vice, faithful, slnceie and single heat ted. "If a kingdom bo divided ngalnst It belf, that kingdom cannot stand II a house bo divided against Itself that houso is sine to fall.

'Choose o this day whom ye will servo.' " THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Described by Rev. G. E. Guild, in Piovidence Presbyterian Chuich, The Rev. Geoige H. Guild. P.

Tho services wete attended by a large congiegation and the singing was especially good. i that theie were three reasons which constiulned him to speak on this subjoc t. First, bt -cause it was. u Piesbteiian nsembly and therefore Intetesting to Piesby terinns, second, because he spoke as an oo and ear witness, having been a delegate; thhd, because he felt tint the congregation would want him ti speak on that subject. He stated that Minneapolis was an ideal convention eltj' nnd was u sec end "City of Churches." Tho West minster church, in which the sessions weie held Is a magnificent structure, seating l.fiOO people and having small loom ndintiably suited for commit tees. i 0, doctor leported that one of the must Intel cstlnp, and Impressive dajs was the opening da IIo described In tho detail tho services of the moin lng session, outlining tho seimon of tho uniting moderator. He ulso spuko ot tho forceful speeches made In nominat ing candidates for the modointoishlp. SAIUiATH OliSL'UVANCi: MEETING Dr. Guild then spoko of tho soivlco of Friday, when the report of the eom mltteo on Sabbath observance was pre sented. On that occasion tho doctor mode a speech before tho assembly.

Hcrr, clulrman of tho board, read telegrams from chin chea and Individuals all thnrugh the countty announcing gifts to liquidate tho $10,000 debt ot tho bivird. An offering was taken at that time from tho congregation nnd the statement was made thnt $4,000 had been received, more Uian sufHclent to cover the debt. Dr. Guild nlso spoke of the two Held dajs of the hoard of fotelcn missions held on Wednesdav and '1 hursduy, and pictured at some length the gifts of tho assembly of neailv Jl 000 to send a recent graduate of l'tlneeton Theo logical seminary to the mission field. Mr. Guild also told of Ptof. McGllferfs case nnd took occasion to emphasize the position of tho church ns set forth by the nnsembly. FOUR ACTS MHNTIONHD. In conclusion, Dr Guild formulaf-d four acts of a geneiul character re garding the assembly. Khst It was a strong assembly, every session being dun acteilzed by an oi client spirit. Second lly an unanimous tlslng vote the assembly placed itelf on record as believing the Hlble to be tho wind of God. That what was In the Bible was put theie by God and not even 1'iof.
