His subject for this meeting is "Why God Doesn't End the War." A big turnout of the local member ship is anticipated. Dr. Brady tells a thrilling story of an encounter which he had with a bandit while in Italy, shortly after the war started. He was in Austria I and shortly thereafter he made his way to Naples, Italy. In passing along the street there one day, he was accosted by a man who, recog nizing Dr. Brady as an American, asked him to change some American money. Dr. Brady pulled out his well-filled wallet for the purpose of complying with the man's request, when the bandit grabbed his pocket book and ran down the street. Dr. Brady, although a man 66 years of age and large of stature, showed the value of his early physi cal training at Annapolis, of which institution he is a graduate, by chas ing the man and overtaking him at the end of nine blocks. After a fierce struggle he removed his purse and disarmed the man, taking from him a stiletto and a large revolver. Dur ing the course of the encounter a large crowd of police and passersby had assembled. The police, at first, intended to arrest both of the men, thinking that the encounter was simply an ordinary street fight. They were amazed, however, when they learned the circumstances and dis covered that Dr. Brady had cap tured and disarmed, single-handed, one of the most notorious criminals in all Europe, for the capture of whom a large reward had been standing for more than two years. Dr. Brady, who is now devoting four days each week to war work, is a graduate of the Annapolis Naval Academy and spent twenty years in the United States Navy. He held an officers commission in tHe army dur ing the Spanish-American war.. He is also prominent in the affairs of the Episcopal Church, having served • one time as an archdeacon of Pennsylvania, and is an author of note, having- written such books as the "Isle of Generation," "Fetters of Freedom." "For the Freedom of the Sea" and "For Love of Country." Dillon Opens War on the Sinn Fein Raillrhornugh, Treland. May 27.

I tffi& TPLA< * Si PINE ST. CHURCH CELEBRATES 60TH ANNIVERSARY First Worshiping Place of the Congregation Was Jail Loft, a Century Ago Appropriate ceremonies yesterday morning marked the celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the Pine Street Presbyterian Church. In a remarkable sermon, rich in histori cal value, Dr. Lewis 8. Mudge re viewed the bistory of Presbyterian- Ism in Harrisburg, telling of its struggles through the early pioneer days and of the subsequent success frowning the efforts of the leaders of the church. Dr. Mudge declared that Pine Street Presbyterian Church has grown and "grown, acquiring such sreat possessions that It has been necessary to divide it into three companies. The church has three centers, the main church, the Girls' building and the Boyd Memorial building. "Surely we who are the successors of those who started forth with only staff in hand, should take as our own the words of the patriarch of old. Pioneer Presbyterians worshiped in the Paxton Church under the pas torate of the Rev. John Elder. Har risburg mehibers of the church pre sented, in *786. a petition for a place of worship of their own, to the Car lisle Presbytery. In the petition they asked that supplies be appointed. The Rev. Mr. Elder, who had hith erto regarded preaching in the town by other minister* as interference with his work, also presented his side of the case. The Presbytery, through a committee, succeeded in reaching an agreement, to the effect that the Presbyterian should have places of worship, one in Pax ton and the other in Harrisburg, and that when the Harrisburg cohgrega tion was able, it should choose a Presbyterian minister as a co-pastor with the Rev. Mr. Elder. According to the facts presented by Dr. Mudge in his sermon, the Rev. Mr. Elder was the first Presbyterian minister In Harrisburg. though a church distinct from the Paxton Church was not organized until' after his death, which occurred in 1792. Worshiped in Jail l,oft In 1793, the Rev. Nathaniel R. Snowden received through the Car lisle Presbytery, a call from the con gregation of Harrisburg, Paxton and Derry. Afterward the pastoral re lations between him and the Paxton and Derry congregations were dis solved. and he became pastor of the Harrisburg congregation which wor shiped in the loft of the jail and the second-story of the courthouse. The first church built was formally dedi cated in 1809. The Rev. Mr. Snow den was succeeded by the Rev. James Buchanan, and in 1819 the latter was succeeded by the Rev. William R. DeWitt. who continued ap pastor until his death in 1867. In 185 4 Dr. Thomas H. Robinson was elected as associate pastor and re mained with the congregation until 1884. In 1858 the Presbyterian Church of Harrisburg, the corporate title of the Pine Street Presbyterian Church, was organized. Certificates of dis mission from various churches wefe presented by fifty members who unit ed with the new church. Ruling El ders were appointed and installed. A Sunday school was organized and in 1859 the church was incorporat ed by an act of Legislature. The original trustees were James Mc- Coripick, A. B. Warford, Charles C. Rawn, E. M. Pollock. A. Boyd Ham ilton, James Casey and J. Donald Cameron. The congregation wor shiped in the lecture room of the German Reformed Church, the lec ture room of the Baptist Chiirch, the halls of the Senate and House of Representatives, and the cornerstone of the church'edifice was laid May 12, 1859. Pastors of the church were the Rev. William C. Cattell, the Rev. S. S. Mitchell, the Rev. A. K. Strong, , the Rev. John R. Paxton, the Rev. George-S. Chambers and the Rev. L. S. Mudge. The Woman's Foreign Missionary Society was organized in 1876. The various other organizations connect ed with the church were brought into action and the James McCor mick Bible Class, which has the lfniquj distinction of being two years older than the churt-h, was organ ized in 1856. The John Y, Boyd Memorial building was dedicated for the use of men and boys in 1916, and the Women and Girls' building was opened in October, 1917. The present enrollment of the church is 1,626 members. Contri butions toward all caubes in the past sixty years have been $1,512,- 885. The net gain in membership during the past ten years has been almost ninety per cent. In 1908 the membership was 875. A Division Street and Bethany Street Chapel have been opened under the wing of the church, and all affairs are now in flourishing condition. 19 Names on List of War Casualties; 14 Give Life in Conflict By Associated Press Washington, May 27.—The Army casualty list to-day contained nine teen names, divided as follows: Ki'led in action, 9: died of wound.', 4; died of disease 1; wounded &e verely 2; missing in aotion, 3.
