HIS OPINION
OP THE MASS
REV. W. A. M'KINNEY DISCUSSES
THE SACRIFICE.
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."
LABOR DAY ARRANGEMENTS.
Discussed at Last Night's Meeting
of Central Labor Union.
The Central Labor union held n
special meeting lust night and heard a
report of the Labor Day committee,
which anonunced the various prepara
tions made up to date. It has been

A committee of members of the
Musicians' union, which was expelled
from tho Central Labor union during
tho street cur sstrlke last fall, wero
present at tho meeting and asked for
reinstatement. As it was a special
session, no action could bo taken, A
nutionnl organizer of the musicians is
expected In tho city and upon his ar
rival there will be further develop
ments in the matter.

HAD A PLEASANT OUTING.
D., L. nnd W. Workmen Spent Yes
terday at Pocono Summit.
About one hundred and fifty fore
men and mechanics of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western1 company
spent yesterday at Pocono Summit,
and had a right royal time. They as
sembled at the depot at 6.30 a. m. and
boarded three special cars provided for
their use, and the run to the picnic
grounds was made in sixty-five
minutes.
There the provision car was speedily
unloaded and broiled beef steak and
steamed clams served for breakfast.
An abundance of good things were sup
plied by the commltteee to the hun
gry nnd thirsty during the day.
After breakfast, a meeting was
called, and Frank Lampkuhl, foreman
of the saw shop, who weighs over 300
pounds, was chosen as chief of police.
His aslsstant was Percy Hughes, and
at the installation, which immediately
followed, the chief was presented with
a huge club, built In proportion to him
self, and a silver-plated star as big as
a pie plate. ,
Some delay was caused In getting
bark to the city, owing to spreading
rails, but the party arrived at 9.10 p.
m., somewhat tired, but happy and
well pleased with the day's outing.
The committee of arrangements was
composed of foremen from the various
departments, as follows: Eugene
Kresge, Jacob SchafCer, Henry Smith,
Charles Warner, Calvin Stone, Hugh
Perry, Louts Kneller, Philip Dippre,
Frank Lampkuhl and William Baura
gartner. Their work was perfection.
AN ACTION IN TRESPASS.
Consumers' lea Company Sues Former
Employes for Damages.
Lewis Glaab and James Shaughnessy
were made defendants in an action to
recover $3,000 damages begun Saturday
by the Consumers Ice company through
Its attorneys O'Brien & Martin.
It Is set forth in the declaration that
Glaab and Shaughnessy were employed
as drivers on coal wagons but on Aug.
5 left the company and entered Into the
employ of a rival Ice company. Pre
vious to leaving they had been hauling
coal from the Oxford colliery of the
People's Coal company, with whom the
plaintiff had made a contract to supply
customers.
The defendants, it is declared after
severing their connections with the
Consumers' company, continued to de
liver the cqal of a rival company to tho
customers of the plaintiff without mak
ing it known that they were no longer
working for the Consumers' company.
Tho plaintiff declares they also circulat
ed stories that the Consumers' company
was a "scab" concern and tried In
various -ways to injure the plaintiff's

and 10 years, wero arraigned before
Magistrate Howe, Saturday morning,
chnrged with the larceny of a pair of
$1.50 shoes from Myer Davidow's store,
on Lackawanna avenue.
The two little fellows wept plteously
throughout the hearing, and their
mother, who was present, added to tho
pathos of tho scene, by sobblnc as
though her heart was breaking. While
there was a clear case against the boys,
there wore many extenuating circum
stances, und the children were dis
missed with a reprimand.
One of the boys worked steadily at
a breaker, before the strike, and their
rather, who Is known ns tho legless
brick pave layer, Is now ill and unable
to support his family.

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.

GOVERNMENT LOTTERIES.
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

er explode from Us own pent-up forces.
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. Tho thickness of

the e'arth's crust within the great con
tinents Is probably from fifty to ono
hundred miles. If we estimate the
pressure exerted by tho weight of one
mile of earth and rock at ton thous
and pounds, which Is well within the
truth, then fifty miles of earth would
exert a pressure of about five hundred
thousand pounds, and one hundred
miles would exert a pressure of one
million pounds to the square- nch,
Now, ns the pressure capable of being
exerted by tho most powerful dynamite,
exploded in a spaco equal to Its own
volume, Is abotU three hundred thous
nns to three hundred and fifty thous
and pounds, It is evident that f the
whole Interior of the earth were filled
with dynamite, nnd exploded, It would
be capable of exerting a, pressure oifly
about one-third greut enough to false
the continents or to disrupt the crust
or the earth. Hudson Maxim In Wo
