Morrl. ol' Willies-K.irre. inadi. an address on rtle thoiiie. "Uehglo.i as Jehus Taught III." He said in tiegiiii:ig that,, there, "Should liave been iwo.pypert? prepared, one dealing (tji ""ftvllgun ,iis llje Ghuivli Taught ll," aud'tho nthii cov ered by the tltli of his atldiosrf. - lie wild that there were two questions, "What does rellglosi really come from and whole does it uome to." Jlo quoted several IjouUa and authors, notably a book by How .Mr. Uregg. of London, published ilfty yoais ago, and called "The I'reo.lH of Oiiristondoni," He said flrosKS' book was one of the first to lake this serious subject up In a popu lar way, Klugler, a Merman writer, ho quoted as saying that rit. Paul was tho launder of Christianity. Huxley was another who treated religion In a crit ical light, unulyzlng and weighing tho doctrines of the church against the life and teachings of Christ. These authors made out that there was a vast differ ence between th way that Jesus taught religion ami as the churches tench it The speaker mentioned that the churches do tench religion as Jesus taught it and thnl St, Paul was a true disciple of the Master. He believed that there was no radical difference be tween the teachings of Christ and tho teaehlnKK of the ohurehes. The lesson taught by Christ first and last wan tho love of.Ood and the love we should bear to our fellow man. Tho Lord Jesus Christ had a doctrine about his own personality, and he taught the ohureh doctrine in regard to redemp tion," thut the blood of Jesus Christ would" &ave. Mr. Morris recommended Hl( to read Dr, Burnard's book, "Tho Progress of Doctrine In the New Teatu inent," The doctrine of the New Tes ' tamont, the doctiine of the Epistles, Is the iloctrlno of tho church today. Thu . teachings of tho whole Now Testa mem 1a of, doctrines taught by all of v.UJsj disciples. Tho simple discourses or Uio Qospel has turned many back Into tho right path. Tho Lord Jesus Christ said to His disciples, "They who recetvji you receive nie.'' ', .Key: Xr Jpnes, pi Philadelphia, con- gra tula ted the speaker on the brilliancy ' and masterly preparation of his ad dress, saying ho regretted It could not In -buivnil broadcast. -' How It. N. Hurrls, of Welsh Hill, 'then spoke on the theme, "The Kinnn ..vlul Problem of Our Churches." He said he regretted huvlng to tuke up ' the tlnanclnl problem to quickly after the spiritual problem ab expounded by Mr, Morrl. Ho bald he believed that more ecclesiastical societies hud tonus lo grief and destruction, though bud nmnagement of their money than from uny other cause. IIo "believed that the Carfcondale Pepartment. 1 1 I kecplng-of all lliianelul matters should belli the liivVts of lha..pastor, "Every ''hrliilator," t bellovo, ought to. he a gootl llniinelcr-lll order to ovoisro tho churjChls niont;y affairs. A fallttro to "olist'rVo 'this thing often becomes dlsnslrouN lo both laslor and ohtirch. I speak from experience. Our benevo lent oi'Kunl.utlous arc oRon it fallttio becuusu tliOy coiillict with I ho other affairs of the church. With u llttlu Judgment wo can never fall. I bellovo another mistake Is iimdo w lien wo do not specify tho collection as wo should when a little money Is needed for spe cial work. I bellovo we should tulto special euro us pastors thut the debts of the church are paid as they fall due. 1 believe the church should quit dun ning the people for money. A lack of Judgment on our part in thu appeals and application has often been de structive. I believe in teaching our people how to give. I favor having a collector, one of a rellned, neat ap pearance. This collector should be a mini, but If a nian Is not easily ob tainable, then get a good woman col lector. The family scandals and dif ferences should be kept out of church, and the nuances should be brought in. After the collector Is appointed district the town and have the districts divid ed. Put several collcrtor.s under a chief collector and have him report at least one u quarter. I advocate printed envelopes to bo turned in monthly, with thirteen envelopes for the year In case one Is lost. And change the print ing of these envelopes. The people .no tlrrd of reading yiur after year 'The Lord lovcth a cheerful giver,' anil surli inscriptions. Km li member should have a number, tills number should be on the envelope and on a chart hung on the wall of Ihe entrance loom, No name should appear on the chait, thut can be kept by the treasurer; but the chart should have the contribution promised by the bearer of the number In black ink and what he has uetunlly paid lu red Ink. Mo.-t people are more afraid of their eliuuli yows than any thing else. 1 believo that an examina tion of every ollicer of the church fahuold be made to ascertain his ability to handle tlie allalrs and liuances of the church. Uvcry trustee should be examined befoie he is givm the power to handle and perhaps squander the money thut lias been so hard to raise. 1 would rather have lull peisons in my church give a dollar a year than have one person who gives .lui), lor lie is I bound to say more and dictate more than all the rebt put together." The Hew T. W. Jones, of Philadel phia, then read a paper on "Is There a Spirit In ManV EVKN1NU riKSJSION. The evening service began at 7.:;u with n song service, in which the choir rendered several selections. The llcv. W. II. Stucey, of I.ansfoid, delivered the sermon.

Tho Black Diamond Coal Company's Strong Box Wrecked by Dynamite. Soliii! time bcfoie dawn yesterday moinlng cracksmen visited the oflice of tho Muck Diamond Coal company, on North Helm out street. Tho sinall safe In the oillce mum wrecked by u charge of dynamite, and $,".il7 lu cash secured, this being nil that was In the safe. Tho safe-breakers were very evident ly uuiutourH in the work, or else their methods are different from tho usual run of the fraternity, for they did a most unworkmanlike job and gave themselves much more work than was seemingly necessary. The safe that was broken Into Is but about thirty Inches high unci but twenty-one inches wide. Yet enough dynamite was used to open it tu get Into a safe of the most modern burglar-proof construction. The burglar used a sperm candle to furnish light. They took a stick oi dynamite with a fuie and cup from the company, which bus a supply of such articles on und. First they pried the sufe door far enough open with Jimmies to get the dynamite inside, then plas tered the keyhole- of the safe and the crack which the bars hnd made In pry ing with soap to'keep out the air, and then touched oil" their lusc. The con cession blew the safe door off, cracked the two sides of the safe und wrecked the interior The cash compartment contained ?.".i!7 on Monday night, which was missing yesterday morning when Ihe Invasion was discovered. It was pay ibiy ul the oillce yesterday und the t blocs evidently expected that a large bundle of money would bo locked in the safe over night. No one beard tli explosion and noth ing was known of the robbery until the oillce force came to work yesterday morning. The police are actively nt work rm thu trail of the burglars, and it is believed that arrests will s-oon be made. AN EARLY MORNING BLAZE.
