If True Worship Be a Spiritual Ex erclse, as Jesus Snys It Is, It Does Not Depend on Ceremony If Any Ceremony Is Deemed More Impor tant Than the Fact of Wornhip It Is n Hindrance Instead of n Help to the Worshipper Takes Issue with the Ritualists. "True Worship" was the toplo so lccteil by l!ev. James Mt Lod, D. D for an iiuprcsylvo sermon whlyli hi de livered yesterday In the First Pros bytellnii liittlch. IIln text were the wotils from John iv:.'3'Ji: "Tho hour et.nietli and now Is, when tho trtto worshippers shall worship the father In spnlt and in tiuth; for the father seeketh such M worship him. Clod Is a splilt; and they that worship him must woishlp liliu In spirit nnd In truth." tiod's ancient people were taught to re gard all the services of tho tabernacle and of (he temple as but "a shadow of good (liings to come." In respect of a or hip, as In other respects, God's revc latlou was progressive. Tho law of wor ship wan only u, schoolmaster to bring the worshippers to it. That law was never abrogated, It was lullllledj it was never destroyed, It was llulshed. When tho fullness or time came, the Christ who gave the old law. and In whom that law as a vhoie and lu all its palls was fulfilled, said: "The hour eometh and now Is, when the dun worshippers." etc. Hut ci ncernlne set limes and plaeis fo." worship. JesiiK did not otinose them. or Ignore (hem. On the contrary. Ho went to the tetuplu and to the syna gogues at the stilted time ot worship, lie both .itmltt and prayed lu public and lu places si t apart for the worship of liod. Hence we may regard Ills words to the woman of Samaria, as a divine nbuko to tho Judnlsm and S.imarltanlsm of that day; and we may ul-o regit u! there words of Chilsl us the divine and everlasting ptotest against a similar spirit, should It i advocated at any lime, or In any place, by any class or teachers. It Is contrary to tho teaching ot Christ to localize the unlveisal ilol, or to limit Ills blessing o as to make It dependent upon time or pljje, ur de pendent, mole espuially, upii thu oh--ervai.co by the worshipper, of certain presciibed founs and ceremonies. I'he, tree upon which such bad fruit grows Is not ol Gf.d's planting, nnd Jesus laid His stye to Its roots when lit. said: "5oil ts a spirit." etc. DIVINK PI l INSCRIPTION. In tlnvo wot ilc of Jesi.s, we have a di vine prescription for true worship, and a divine safeguard against all forma of Idolatry. The true worshipper worship.-, the Father In splilt nnd lu truth. The Father reeki (h sin h to worship Htm. liod Is a splilt. etc. To worship God "hi spirit" is to iceoguize that Ho Is a splilt the universal spirit, unit Ineapablo of being materially lcpresenlul, or lim ited to any plain outline. "In spirit." as opposnl to time, or place, or ceremony; "in truth," as opposed to l'harasaisni and all forms of h poerli.j . While (rue wor ship Is always Independent of any pro M'llbed lime oi place or litual obstrv anei it is always dependent upon "spirit" nnd "truth." Jesus states the reason for this: "God Is a splilt," and must lm wfii shipped In spirit nnd lu truth. It would bo both sinful and absurd to of fer tiilse worship to tho true God; and It would be sinful and absurd to offer, If It were possible, due worship to a false god. If the object of worship be not tho duo God, tho worshipper Is an Idol ater; if ono the other band, tho worship per be false and Insincere, his worship Is hypocrisy. 1 would rather be a leal hen then and worship sincerely a false god. (ban lie, a nominal Christina and worship Insin cerely the truo God. The righteous God will ileal morn tenderly with an honest heathen whoso religion is false, than with a nominal Christian who plays the hypocrite. For "that servant who knows his Lord's will, nnd pu pared not him self, neither did according (o His will, shall bo beaten with many sdipet,. Hut he that know not, and did commit (hiims worthj of stripes, shall bo beaten with few stripes." (Luke Nil, 17-151. We need to be reminded, from time to time, that all seeming worship of the duo God. that Is not heartfelt and sin cere, is nothing; and that all worship of any other being or thing beside tho true God, Is less than nothing ami vanity. Our Lords' definition or description of truo worship Is nil tho proof we nei d, that the claims made by ItltualNts and by Pseudo-Protestants are both unscrlp tt'ial end unreasonable. DKPKNDS NOT ON CKHK.MONV. It may bo granted that God may bo truly wort hipped by those who uo a cer tain pi escribed, foim or ceremony. Hut it (run wershlp bo a spiritual exercise, as .Iomis says It Is. then a child can eo that It does not depend upon either form or ceremony. And It Is precisely hero that Ritualists Join issue with Jomh, They claim that God vho Is a splilt can not bo worsLlpjIcd In splilt and lu truth, unless tho worshipper tollows their pro. gramme. Tho ollicUttlng priest must wear all the ptescilbed paraphernalia; be must assfme this and that attitude, ho must bow so many times -now to tho east, and now to tho west ho must genuflect and mako tho Mgn of the cross so many times; caudles must bo burn, lug at noonila.v, and thurlfers mu..t svvhu their thni Ihles, and tho altar must be fumed with Incense all these things and much more arc resanlul, by ceitmii Kit. uallsls, us essential to true worship. What a travesty! What an utter Ignor ing of tho Saviour's words! What a con trast between that gaudy glitter ami the simplicity of tho Gospel! These friends have forgotten that God's choicest temple Is tho temple of a de vout and humble human heart, and that the ornament Ho most loves Is "(he or nament of it meek and unlet spirit." It Is not lighted candles ami Incense, and tho first fruits that God requires Ills children to lay upon Ills altar. Those old things have passed away; behold iM things havo become new. Types and symbols aro no longer needed as ad juncts of worship. Wo no longer neul (he sign, when we havo (ho (lilng slgnl lled, Tho New Testament dispensation takes precedence, of the Old. The minis try that Is now needed Is not a ministry Involving tho carrying out of an elabor ate litual, Including the offering of ninny sacrifices. Hut Christ would have His Children and tlin whole wi rid to under stand that tho Christian ministry Is the ministry (if repentunce, ol faith, ot love and of new obedience, Tlio sacrifice. In which God alw.i.vs took the greatest do light Is the sacrifice of a broken and con trite heart. The only worship th.u lie will accept Is worship that llses to illm from the heart, and ilmt Is offered uiuo Him "In spirit and In truth," IT IS A HINDltANCK. Without enlarging upon either the use or tho ubuso oi forms and ci renioules In worship, this much Is certainly trm. namely: If any ceremony or foim of woivhlp bo deemed moio Important than the fact of worship.

Sold by all grocurs, Mrs. Bradlsh, of Detroit, Wrote Mrs. Pinkham and Tells the Result. LETTM TO MS. MNXIIAU NO. 8j,Jto " About two years ago 1 began to run dawn and soon became almost a wreck. I lost my uppetlto und began to lose flesh ; my blood was impoverished und 1 had to leave our store. "The doctors gave me a little tonic, but 1 stcndlly grcjv worse nnd consulted another doctor.

Mrs. Pinkhnm's advice is nt the free disposal of every ailing woman who wishes help Her address is Lynn, Mass. Every ensu is snendly confidential. dranco Instead ot n grrat help to tho worshipper. The worship ot God Is an act of the understanding, and of the will, as well us of the affections else it would not bo a reasonable service. Hence Christ links tn.o worship with a true knowledge of God. "God is it spirit," litis truth wo must never forget. And man, too, Is a spirit, and It Is tho spirit, the bean, the soul of man only that can worship God. The posture of tho body, or the prayer, or the song of praise ts ot value, only as It gives expression to (ho feelings of tho heart, and i.otil nnd spirit. The public worship of God.a t appoint ed times and places, might well bo made the subject of a discourse. I fear that many who visit the bouse of God tall to worship Him "In splilt und In truth." This accounts for nitiiii special barren ness and leanness. When God is wor shipped "In splilt and In tiuth," there will be much heart-searching und much piuycr. and much entreaty, and much longing for tho salvation of sinners, and lunch Christian activity. When tho wo man of Samaria found Christ, she lost no tltno hi telling the good news. She went her way into tho city and said to the men: "Come, txo a man who told me." etc. Truo worship requires but two factors: God, n spirit, our God and Father, and the God and Father of our Lout auO Saviour Jesus Christ : and man it p!iit looking humbly to God through Jesus Christ for Ills blessing, God has been duly vvorshlpptd lu many strange places lu the licry furnace, in tho floods or gie.it waters, lu prisons, in dungeon.-", on tho ucaft'old; the Jew coming, like Si mon lu faith anil holy expectation to worship niiild the pomp and splendor ot lh" temple service; thu Gentile like the devout Cornelius, who gavo alms and who prayed to God always; Paul tho mis sionary standing up for God's truth In the "eyo ol (iteece," und again Paul thu Pi Seller hi tho guard room in Nero's palaif. John the exile in lonely Palmes; tho noble army of martyrs who died lather than deny Christ; the early Chris tians who hid In the catacomb uf.Honin; Luther in cell crying for light; Fauler In the grand cathedral of Strasbourg amid (lie pomp and ceremonies which were the offspring of superstition, preaching a true Gospel ami worshipping (he truo God; the Wulds In their rocky fast nesses; the Huguenots In the caves ot the Pyrenees; tho Covenanters of Scot land on tho barren heath; tho Pilgrim Fathers keeping the Sabbath regardless of the biting frost; these all worshipped tho Father in spirit anil in truth, and there has been preserved along the ages, an undying succession of truo worship pers, Tho proudest monument of Pagan worship Is now a shattered ruin upon the Acropolis of Athens: tho gorgpous temple of Jerusalem has beep destroyed, anil on Its ruin stands thu mosque ot Omar; (ho antiquarian digs around it; the Jews keep up (heir walling beside Its walls; but lie with whom there Is neither Greek nor Jew. who dwells lu humble believing souls, still seeks and owns as true worshippers all In every land and every tongue who, "In spirit and in truth," say, "Abba, Father," RELIGIOUS NEWS NOTES.

VIADUCT OPPONENTS DID NOT APPEAR NOT A VOICE RAISED AGAINST THE PROPOSED STRUCTURE. Enthusiastic Meeting of Citizens in West Scranton Saturday Evening, nt Which Hon. John R. Parr, At torney C. E. Daniels and Others Spoke Resolutions Adopted En dorsing the Plans for the Viaduct That Is to Be Voted on at Tomor row's Election, The opponents of tho viaduct were conspicuous by their absence from the public meeting held In St. David's hull Saturday uvoiilng, when the oaimi.iiiTii committee of Hie West Side Hoard of Traelt! Invited them to express their sontlincnts for or against thu ptoject. Theie vveto a number of extiotietits there, however, to eilf-set any argu ment that might be advanced ngnllist it und to address the voters who braved the storm to utlcnd tho meet ing. When tho nssemblago was called to order Attorney Charles 13. Daniels, president of the Hoard of Trade, was Invited by the committee to preside over tho nuetlnr; and In accepting stated the position of the board in reference to tho viaduct and vvh.it hurt already been accomplished in the way t furthering the adopted plnn. Hi, outlined thu wotk that is yet to I13 done and urged those present to not only support the project but to Intel est their friends and neighbors as well. Hon. John It. Knrr. who has been very active In the campaign, follow eel President Daniels In n thorough de scription of the plans, cost ?iud loe.i tlon uf the viaduct, und showed where in the Nealls court project was unelu slr.ible. Ono of the strongest points In Ills argument along that Hue was the statement that any other plan than the present ono will not relieve the dangers at the West Lackawanna avenue crossing without closing It en tlrely, and at the same time avoid any suits for damages. ANOTHKlt AKCll'MKNT. Another good argument which Mr. Farr advanced ngalnut the Nealls court Miienio was the fact that the proposed structure would facilitate the convenience of reaching the Industrial section of the city, which Is iiov rap idly developing on the Diamond Flats. Hundreds of working men and women are delayed every morning nt the crossing by coal and freight Gains, and tbos- who now reach their destination by way of West Lackawanna avenue. Klghth, Seventh and Sixth streets and thu Linden stteet bridge, would of ne cessity have to go to the eastern end of tho Lae-kawanna avenue lniilue be fore; landing on the .ivnue proper If the Xealis court plan was carried out, Mr. Farr's talk wan so plain and practical that all those i resent colncld- I ed with him in his expressed views, anil listened with rapt attention. Ilc nuirks were also made by Charles rt. Acker, T. Fellows iMuson and others, ' anil 'before the meting adjourned the following icsolution was unanimously adopted: Citizens and taxpayers in mi bile, meeting assembled, February 17. l'JOO, recognizing the necessity for a viaduct on West Lackawanna avenue, over (he Delaware, Lackawanna nnel Western tracks, and having examined the sev eral proposed plans for a viaduct, here by endorse for the following reasons the plan adopted by councils and to lie voted on by the electors of the city, February l'0, I'.iOO: A viaduct from the easterly side of the Lackawanna avenue bridge to Nealls court Is inadvisable. It would be more expensive than ono under the present plan. It practically would not shorten the distance. Not more than one-half the people would be accom modated by such a viaduct and tin Lackawanna avenue crossing would still be the same source of danger and delay. A Nealls court viaduct would bo expensive, awkward and entirely in adequate for the traflle to and from Hyde Park, while the present condition of West Lackawanna avenue would be as bail as ever. It would impede In dustrial communication between West Scranton and the central city. r.RYOJCD CITY'S P.KACII. A viaduct on West Lackawanna ave nue from building to building is lie yond the reach of the city llnancially. The abutting property ownots would demand direct damages; adjacent prop erty owners would demand consequen tial damages. Such it viaduct would cost nearly $500,000. The present plan is for a viaduct sixty feet wide Hanked by it ten-foot sidewalk on each side. Tho roadway will be about forty feet, of asphalt. The structure would b. built of masonry and Iron and would be a thing of beauty as well us a mag nlllcent roadway. It Is this plan or none. The ordi nance of council makes It so. By the ordinance of council It must be built lor $H17,rc'0. A vote against this plan Is a vote for no viaduct at nil. No other plan Is before the people. The grade at the steepest point would he i less than tho pieseut grade between the railroad tracks and Ninth street. The additional cost to the Individual would be two cents for the laborer.three cents for the miner or mechanic, and five cents for the professional man. Thu cost Is Insignificant compared with , tho safety of human lives. Tips lives of the people are of more Importance innn tno dollars the viaduct would cost. Tho space under tho viaduct would be utilized as a market place, und thus the congested condition of lower Lack awanna avenue would be relieved. Fanners and produce venders would thus have n place to dispose! of (heir goods. The viaduct Is an Imperative necessity for the business and residen tial prosperity of West Scranton und consequentially the city would be benefited. In view of these facts, we earnestly urge tho electors of the city to vote favorably on tho viaduct at next Tuesday's election.
