Congregation at Penn Avenue Bap tist Church Last Night Heard Dis course Upon the Celebration of the Mass Rev. McKinney Approves the Allegorical Idea of the Cere mony but Characterizes Its Per formance as Illogical Closer Union Between Han and God. "Tho Socrumcnt of Mass," wns the subject upon which Rev. W. A. Mc Kinney delivered an eloquent sermon lust night at the Pcnn avenue Baptht church. Rev. McKinney commended tho doctrine of the mass, but found various points to criticize in the method of its performance. He prefaced his sermon with a de scription of tho interior of a Catholic church and a detailed picturing of the sacrament of mass, and explained tho ceremonies of consecration, elevation, breaking and communion. "The wafer and wine form, In the Roman church, a spiritual presence," said Rev. Mc Kinney, "a presence as of the spirit In tho body. Christ Is supposed to exist In the bread nnd wine. "There are two supreme ideas In the mass, tho idea of sacrifice and of com munion. When the elements of the communion are offered by the priest to God, the congregation believes that the sacrifice of Jesus Is actually being held, that it is a piopltlatory sacrifice. It Is not a redeeming sacrifice. The cross did that, but this applies the redemption to the heart. This whole ceremony Is in direct contradiction to that para graph In the epistle to the Hebrews which says 'A sacrifice shall be made, once for all.' "I wish you would try to Imagine the thoughts of the communicant ns he goes to the altar rail, after having confessed his sins, and then comes back to his seat, after partaking of the host and chalice. He believes he has par taken of the flesh and blood of Christ. Can you imagine his feelings, as he thinks he encases the body of Christ? How superior to mundane matters lie must feel, how far above the sordid things of life. "But though this doctrine Is to be commended, one must say that the sac rament of mass not only violates our reason, but violates all the rules of logic and thought. If the body and blood of Christ are really present, the priest has made them so. He has worked a miracle, which is constantly being wrought by many men, some of them, not all, disreputable men. Just think of it, a man has created god. "It is not my purpose, however, to tear down doctrine, but rather to try to teach the love of Christ. Think of Christ in man, and the many scriptural Injunctions which teach us that Jesus is within. Christian life Is a sacred thing, and throughout It, we should ahvoys carry Christ with us. Every action we do, is the result of impulse every word we speak comes through a mouth possessed by Christ. "How often we are more profane, more sacrellgious than the devout Cath olic. How often we degrade the Lord, by mixing thoughts of Him, with im pure and base ideas. A spirit of light ness and frivolity has come into the church, and makes little of our union with Jesus. BATTLE GROWING TENDENCY. "If Christ is in us, It behooves men to lift themselves up, and battle the grow ing tendency to belittle Initiatory rites. Too many persons, nowadays, join churches, with no religious1 purposes, but merely for social congeniality or soclul advancement, ns their highest and most urgent motives. "Our bodies are the temples of the Holy Ghost, and there is in us1 that most precious thing, the life of Jesus Christ, entrusted to our care. Let us come to a realization of the real, vital, spiritual truth of the reunion of Christ with human life. Let us cherish It, as our greater privilege, now and forever to be truly called His own."

While there was a clear case against the boys, there wore many extenuating circum stances, und the children were dis missed with a reprimand.

I PADDY CAREY 1 WAS WAY BACH ! NEW HEROES OCCUPY THE FRONT AND CENTER. Man from Mlnooka Who Was at Ma nila Had to Take a Day Off ns tho Central Flguro of the Village When the O'Neill Brothers Ran Up from Brooklyn to Visit Their Native Heath and Incidentally Umpire a Ball Game Given a Big Ovation by Their Admirers. Twice in her history has Mlnooka spread herself. Once was when it welcomed home "Paddy" Carey, the, one man, In nil these parts, who fought with Dewey. The other time was yesterday. Yes terday the O'Neill brothers were in town! Paddy Carey went 'way back and got out of sight. To peddle powder to Grid ley's guns was one thing. To get your picture In the papers for excellence In the national game is unothcr. The O'Neill brothers have had their pic tures in all the papers, and In the ex planation at the bottom of the pictures It Is stated, invariably, that they are from Mlnooka, Pa, Mlnooka, In consequence, is once more on the map. To do fitting honor to sons of the vil lage who had so signally distinguished themselves and made famous their na tive heath was a problem. John J. Coyne, the big man of the village, how ever, was equal to the occasion. Their contract with St. Louis forbade them playing with any other team, but there was nothing to prevent them from um piring n game. Accordingly, Mr. Coyne arranged a game between the Mlnookas and the Alerts, from McCann's patch, and the O'Neill brothers were put In to umpire, alternating between battery and base decisions. THEIR DECISIONS "WENT." If ever there was a game in which the umpire's decision "went," that game was this game. Ordinarily, an umpire In a big game In Mlnooka has about as good a time as would a coal and Iron policeman at a mine workers' picnic in Jessup. Yesterday, though, It was different. One of the onlookers from McCann's patch, a lad named John Maharty, hissed a decision at third. John Coyne got him safely aboard a car, by getting between the reckless fellow and the in dignant crowd. All of Mlnooka and hundreds from other places turned out to the game. Even Moosic, tne home of Hughey Jennings, was represented, although Mooslcans are extremely jealdus of the fame that is coming to its neighboring town. The O'Neills were given a big ovation and bore their honors grace fully. BANQUET IN THEIR HONOR. At the conclusion of the game, the honored visitors were escorted to Coyne's hotel, where the genial pro prietor had prepared for them and a large comnanv of the nntnhies r,f thn village a spread which made them ob livious or naru times. This mornjng they return to Brook lyn to rejoin their team. FTir smun days a goodly portion of the villagers will- be exhibiting the hand that shook the hand, and Paddy Carey will once more oe pointed out to strangers. LABORER'S PROTECTIVE UNION.

Sure Sources of Popular Demoraliza tion nnd Vicious Habits. Genoa Conchpondcnco Cincinnati Com mercial. The lottery gambling system! was created in this city In the eighteenth century. From Genoa it has spread over the entire continent of Europe, and the masses of Austria and Germany in particular lie entirely under its sway. The lottery nowadays Is as govern mental as the sale of opium, and equal ly as noxious in its InHuence. But It brings to tho respective governments millions of pounds sterling regularly in commission proflts, and It prevails, The procedure of the "lottery," from a governmental point of view, Is very simple. The state declares that a lot tery Is to bo held for, say $40,000, and advertisements are Issued to the news papers. Then tickets, like gloillled bank checks, are printed, bound up in volumes, and Issued to tho govern ment tobucco shops, Tho lottery Is advertised, and tho masses ure drawn to the gamble like files to an empty treacle cask. The tickets are dealt out. Tho prices rarely range above u shilling per ticket. The tobacconist receives his or her small commission on the sales; the gov ernment does likewise, but on u much fuller scale. The counterfoils of tho tickets are duly collected by the government of flclals, and the bitterly pathetic pro cedurebitter, Indeed, to those who fully reullifo tho horrid curse that tho lottery system really s of drawing the winner takes place on the appoint ed day, The counterfoils are thrown into a wheel shaped urn, With sides of glass, Tho wheel is seven feet In diameter and four fleet in Width. When lllled It Is whirled round rapidly, and then the trap door is partially opened, and amid breathless olllclal silence a specially chosen boy Inserts his bared arm and picks out the winning counter foil, The figures printed on It are adver tised as the winning numbers, and the "haupt treffer," as the winner Is named calls at the state bank with the ticket and receives the huge stake he has won, less, of course government com mission. The lottery Is a fair and simple pro cedure, as this description shows, but there is another side to the picture. No greater curse blights the condition of the poorer classes abroad. Philanthropists have denounced it in the bitterest terms, but ofllcinlism, while admitting all its evils, clings to TOUGH CHINA Onontlago China Is the toughest made.

Under our very feet nt this moment, between the earth's solid crust and the molten Interior, there is a pressure exerted mare than double that which is capable of being exerted by tho most powerful dynamite in the world. It is u generally uccepted and probably true theory that the whole interior of the earth Is u molten mats of rock und metals heavier than tho crust above, and upon which the crust floats in a relatively thin layer.
