make a Welshman out of me and I
told him It was not a very difficult

Mr. Connell's remarks worn well re
ceived and the speaker of the evening
wns then introduced in the prison of
Rev. U. I), Hopkins, pastor of the First
Welsh Unptlst church, who wns as
signed the subject of "St. li.ivld." Mr.
HopKlns responded as follows:
Ri:V. D. D. HOPKINS' ADDRKSS.
Wn tnko It for granted that St. David
as he Is remmonty called existed In Wales
i"im time In the remote past. Very little
wo know of this remarkable and famous
man, because very little has been written
la regard to Mm that we In the. present
day can rely nn. tf we arc rather skep
tical ns to the correctness of what has
been written about St. David, (llraldus
C'nmbrenids siiys: "l-'or David was re
markable, for his sanctity and religion,
ns the history of his life will testify."
Olraldus who wroto on Wales and Ire
land In the Twelfth century, evidently
believed the tradlthns and legions about
David, because, he rnyn of him, "Araoiig.it
the many miracles recorded of him, three
appear to me the most worthy of admira
tion his origin nnd conception, his pre.
election thirty years before his birth, and
what exceeds nil, the sudden arising of
the ground at Urovy under his feet while
preaching, to the great astonishment of
all the beholders."
Yet. very little Is said by Glruldus
ubout St. David, but even his reference
to him proves beyond any doubt that
be believed the popular trudlttons that
were current In bis time. Glraldus was a
Catholic and his description of religion at
tlm time In Wales has been given us from
that stundpnlnt.
We sny sometimes of such and sueh a
statement "It Is too good to be true,"
and we can say of St. David, "If every
thing tbut has been written of him Is
true and correct, that be was a perron
of superhuman capabilities; but If only a
man, a thinking animal, finite and falli
ble, then some things that have been
handed down to us us historical state
ments must be false and misleading."
Wo e-an easily account for the supposed
miraculous element In his life. If wo le.
member that the hNtoilan In the dark
ages looked at everything through a
certain kind of glass, while he ought to
have collected his materials and seen that
what he was banding down to posterity
was correct.
Yet he might have been Innocent and
honest, becuuso It Is possible that his re
ligion had transllguied everything be
fore his eyes. Vr eiinuot believe, for In
stance, that the stories given In Mabln
uglon nre historically true more than the
story of Alladin and the wonderful lamp
In the Arabian Knights, yet they arc
given us In an historical style.
There is sueh a thing ns philosophy of
history, and It Is the duty of the philos
opber. when dealing with nny kind of his
tory to compare notes and analyse what
N given as the supposed history of the
past.
This Is not the case with some of 8t.
David's biographers, because they hnve
read the miraculous elemen: Into his life
In order to prove that he wns a good man
and a (lod-ent to the Welsh nation. If
little attention be paid to what Glraldus
has written we will not bo surprised nt
bis belief In the miraculous clement In
the life of St. David.
In his "Itinerary through Wales," we
Tbe Special Show Days Tbis Week?
get an account of a miracle here and a
miracle there, nnd nit supposed to prove
his dlvino mission to the people. It Is
our opinion that the religious creed of
the people, after the time of St. David,
accounts for the miraculous element In
the history of his life, but wo do not
wont to rob him of nnythlng, nor to ndd
to what ho really was, but simply to sec
him today as ho was when preaching to
tho pcoplo In Wales either In the fifth
or sixth century of the Christian era.
Wn want to be hottest by giving him
the credit he deserves
A barn deg heb wrnl dim.
St. David was a good man, n devoted
Christian and had u heart full of love
for his fellow men. He gave himself
and whatever be possessed to tho cause
nt luvc. Tho Gospel took possession of
Ills heart, utid his heart, under the In
fluence of the spirit of God, embraced the
nation of which ho was a part.
The fact thut his name Is found today
in connection with churches In different
parts of tho pilnelpallty of Wales, proves
that the name of St. David has been and
Is very sacred and popular In the reli
gious life of the people In that rountry.
Ho lives In the religious life of the
people and not merely ns a political fac
tor In the hl-toiy of the nation. It was
his Christianity and not hlr. polities that
gavo him on Immortal fame In tho his
tory of the Welsh people,
In his time tho peoplo were poor, but
Si. David, fortunately, was rich, nnd he
gave them not only what be knew of Ooa
In Christ, but also of bis riches, to help
them on In a worldly sense. He gave
"himself" to tho nation, so his Immor
tality Is not In the supposed miracles at
tributed to him, but lr that simple, but
genuine life of his heart.

SOUTH SCRANTON.
John Guzel, of Cedar avenue, ap
peared before Alderman Ruddy on
Wednesday and swore out warrants for
the arrest of John Kakarekn, John Ycr
makewicz and Alex Roska on the
charge of malicious mischief. Yer
makewicz was also charged with carry
ing concealed weapons, and Kakarekn
with assault and battery and striking
the prosecutor with a beer glass. The
warrants were yesterday given to Con
stable McMurray to serve, but he re
turned with but one prisoner, Yermako
wicz, the other two having flown. Yer
makowicz was arraigned before the al
derman for a hearing last evening, and
although the evidence wns very dam
aging against him, the case wns amic
ably settled. Tho prosecutor In the
case, John Guzel, on Monday evening
gave a party to a number of friends at
his home, and as Is usual at such af
fairs, had provided a keg of beer tn
quench the thirst ot his guests: Whllo
the host and his guests were enjoying
themselves, the three defendants, who
were not among tho Invited guests and
felt slighted at not having been hon
ored with nn Invitation, walked In and
proceeded to raise n disturbance. The
host attempted to eject them from his
premises, but they refused to be ousted.
The result was a free right, and In a
short time the air wus filled with beer
glasses and everything that was In
reach. Revolvers and blackjacks were
used freely, nnd It seems a miracle that
no one was shot. As It was, there were
qultu a number of battered heads and
broken window panes. Up to a late
hour last night Knkareka and Roska
could not be found, and It Is believed
they have left the city.

chairs for his brother, who conducted
a barber shop In the defendants house,
and when he discontinued his business
nnd left the city he gave the barber
chairs to Penzlbenny In payment of n
debt. After his brother had left tho
city. Zummo called on Penzlbenny and
demanded the chairs, which were re
fused him, hence the suit. The evi
dence being Insufficient, Alderman
Ruddy discharged the defendant.
