PA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER IT, 1870. ST. JOHN'S CHURCH JUBILEE THE LAW OF 17 02—THE GERMAN WAY—THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY HISTORICAL FACTS THE DECORA TIONS. In the month of April 1792, subse quent to the subjugation of European troops in America, was enacted a law that opened out to emigrants the mag- } nificent territory north and west of the j Ohio—a territory long previous the scene of battle between the French ; and English soldiery. This vast ex- j pan.-e, so rich in natural resources, so . promising to the toil of the husbandmen, at once was peopled by immigrants from densely packed Germany and specially from the rugged Westmore land founty. These thrifty Germans bad no sooner conquered the giants of the forest than, true to the spirit of their education and loyal to that Church which had se cured for them liberty of thought and act in accord with the dictates of a pure teaching of the Word of God, they sought to have their children sep arated from the great masses of them that know not God, and have them engrafted into the church by baptism, to have the Gospel preached to them, and the Holy Supper administered in its purity. With this devotion to their highest interests, they had among them as early as the opening of the present century pastors who faithfully broke to them the Bread of Life and pointed out the folly of bartering a soul for a few narrow acres of land. These pastors preached faithfully aud as fre quently as possible, sometimes in the open groves, sometimes in rude barns, until a proper house was erected. Not a few times did those old forests, ig norant of every harmony save the warbling praises of birds, and their own plaintive sighing, reverberate with new songs—the hymns of the hopeful in the Faith, which those sturdy flfer mans, with a devoutness peculiar to their nation, sang. These hymns, which they had learned to lisp in in fancy ami in prattling childhood, formed in manhood and old age a bond of union between each other and the Church, and are to-day the richest legacy to i the Church. The one doubting this need but to compare the best hymns of recent authors with the aged, "Nun Junket alle Got It " or " Chrixte Hint Oerechligtiit, or "o'ott ruj'ct Noch" to be convinced. This devotion of the German to his church led to the erection of St. John's in the years 1828 aud 1829 for the accommodation of the increasing : multitudes that assembled time after time. It was a bold undertaking and i boldly accomplished. The "Old Stone < Church," whose fiftieth anniversary was celebrated on Friday, September : sth, would be an honor to any congre gation at the present day. What must > it have been fifty years ago? It is, 1 in truth, a monument that records the ; virtue of a people who are to-day too i often sneered at; it is a monument 1 that teaches our emigrants to the West < how to prosper a community by honor- ' ing- its God ; it is a monument round I which the faithful of to-day delighted i to gather in vast assemblv to recount the virtues and wisdom of the builders. < On Thursday evening, the evening previous to the Day of Jubilee, a ser- : mon appropriate to the occasion was preached by Rev. T. U. Roth, of Utiea, X. Y. The theme was: "The Divinity of Christ is the foundation of all things and of the Church." The Jubilee Day dawned fair and favoring. The rains of the previous days instead of dampening the ardor of au enthused people tempered the atmosphere and settled the dust. The elements conspired with the occasion to perfect the joyous emotions of those coming to join in the celebration. The opening service of the day was digni fied by the solemn act of baptizing a babe, whose pious mother was about to migrate to the far West. After this ceremony was ended, the morning ser vices were conducted in the German language by the Kev. Prof. Gilbert, one of Germany's best Hebrew schol ars, classmate of the famous Tischen ilorf, formerly pastor of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran congregation, now the revered instructor of Hebrew ami modern languages in Thiel Col lege. On these services united voices that had long been separated, and once more the old walls re-echoed in gladness the old choral, "Now thank we all our God." After this service the boys from Prospect with horns, and drums, and cymbals sounded a call to dinner. It was a call considerable more harmoni ous than the shrill voice of some pro voked dame calling the good man to the burnt broth. Be it spoken, greatly to their credit, despite the brevity of the time consumed in practice and the various hindrances encountered during that time, they produced superior har mony. Heeding the call we surrounded a table that was lit for a king. Arranged with consummate skill it was preemi nently the best of its kind.- In shape an L, which letter represented the initial letter of the word Lutheran. From end to end the fruits of nature and tin; products of the good house wife weighed heavily on the uprights, so heavily that part of the table sank to the ground. Stacks of pies were there and huge piles of sandwiches, with huge cakes, all surrounded with garlands of flowers deftly woven. The supply of fowl seemed to indicate that one Jubilee provided a sadder havoc in tho poultry yard than a score of foxes. Though the supply was pro digious, the opening of many hundred mouths soon engulfed almost the very vestiges. During the general melee at the table the writer undertook to view the dec orations, in which, though extensive without and within, scarce a fault was found. The rough stone walls of the front were draped from foundation to roof with festoons of evergreen, lu the gable was the old marble slab and the inscription j ST. JOil N'S I 1829 j 1 Underneath, in large characters en- cased in green, "1579." Below this was an enormous garland of gaily col ored flowers. The effect of this gar land was splendid. Still lower was a second festoon, under which, in letters of gold, was the heartsome word "WELCOME." Within greater taste was displayed. Without disgusting the eye with an extravagance of ornament, the great room presented one decorated whole. Festoons of living green clung to cor ner and crevice, upright and pendant. Upon the wall back of the pulpit hung a huge cross of gold and silver foil, in construction almost faultless, and much resembling the legendary cross on the Rock of Ages. On the left was the first line of Luther's famous battle hymn, '"Kin fe.,800,- 000 horse-power, an amount which if it had to be produced by steam would necessitate an expenditure of not less than 266,000,000 tons of coal per an num, taking the consumption of coal at four pounds per horse-power per hour. In other words, all the coal raised throughout the world would barely suffice to produce the amount of power that annually runs to waste at this 1 wonderful fall. WIIA T CONSTITUTES LlliEL f THE FREEDOM OF THE PLTESS CAN A MINISTER'S ACTION'S HE CRITICISED, LIKE ANY OTHER PUBLIC MAN ? THE CASE OF REV. LLOYD MORGAN. [Allegheny Mail, Sept. Sth.] The most interesting libel suit that has been oil trial for some time is that of Kev. Lloyd .Morgan vs. the Pitts burgh Leader. Sessions are being held day and night in Kittanniug. At a latv hour on Saturday, the Court ad journed to meet again this morning. The prosecution is of unusual interest, as it brings prominently into public notice questions concerning the mean ing of that clause in the Constitution extending the privileges of the press. The clause referred to is in section 7, article 1, of the new Constitution aud reads as follows : "No conviction shall be had in any prosecution for the publication of pa pers relating to the official conduct of officers or men in public capacity or to any other matter proper for public in vestigation or information where the faet that such publication was not ma liciously or negligently made shall be established to the satisfaction of the jury, and in all indictments for libel the jury shall have the right to deter mine the law and the facts under the direction of the Court as in other cases." The defendants claiming that they can prove the truth of most of their statements rely upon this law and ex pect to justify their course both as to the facts and the absence of malice ami negligence. Thequestion "Is a preacher a man engaged in a public capacity within the meaning of the law was raised at the very commencement of the trial. It was clear from the great extent of testimony gotten up by the defend ants, from their pleadings and from the opening of Judge Painter that they in tended to ask for the fullest scope iu being allowed to prove that the charges published against the prosecutor were true, and that they were not published with any malicious intent. In order to have a comprehensive and definite rul ing by the Court the defendants sub mitted the following offer: We offer to prove bv the witness on the stand that the matter alleged to be libelous was published by him in the Leader in good faith, without malice toward the Rev. Lloyd Morgan, min ister of the gospel, named iu the in dictment, after careful inquiry and in vestigation, and upon evidence of the facts presented to him by reliable men, such as ministers, deacons, and others of the Baptist denomination, consisting in part of church records, letters, news paper publications, not denied or con tradicted by tho prosecutor himself. Also, by sworn affidavits of credible persons, deacons and members, both male and female, of churches in which the prosecutor had been or then was acting as pastor. Also, by the solemn statement, in writing, of ministers, elders and members of the Baptist church, (some of whom had been mem bers of a church council that had tried the prosecutor for offenses against law and morals) addressed to other Chris tian churches in this county, and that the same was compared and published at the earnest request of such minis ters, deacons and others for public in formation and investigation, and not with a view or intent to injure the said Rev. Lloyd Morgan as an individual or otherwise, but for the protection of the Church, in the interest of religion and pure morals, by the exposure of deceit and fraud. This to be followed by other evidence in proof of the actual truth of the charges made of the im proper intimacy of the prosecutor with women of his own church, of the pro curation, by the prosecutor, of the pas toral position and office upon false aud forged certificates, and under false and assumed names, and also that, through and bv means of said recited falsehood and fraud, that the prosecutor obtained credit, goods and money from his par ishoners and others with the intent to cheat and defraud ; and that, in fact, he did, through the means and oppor tunities afforded by his office and posi tion of pastor, attempt to seduce and debauch virtuous females, married and single, and in some instances succeeded. And this for the purpose of rebutting the presumption of malice and the tes timony offered on the part of the Com monwealth to show malice in faet; that what the defendants published is true, but if not true, that it was not maliciously or negligently made; that they published it upon proper informa tion and after careful and thorough in vestigation, and to sustain the pleas filed by the defendants in this case. OBJECTIONS. 1. The Commonwealth objects to the answer in the first paragraph for the reason that the publication charged in the indictment is not of and con cerning the public ministration or pas toral conduct of the prosecutor, but of and concerning the Rev. Lloyd Mor gan as a citizen, distinct from his cler ical or pastoral relation. 2. The evidence does not touch the charge laid in the indictment. That the truth of the facts is not ndmissablc in evidence under the plead ings in this case. 4. The proof of fraudulently obtained goods is not evidence in this case. f). That the whole evidence proposed in the offer is irrelevant, important aud inadmissable. <;. That the evidence offered does not tend to sustain the pleas. 7. That the opinion of the witness on the stand is not admissable.but that the jury are the judges of the charac ters of the publication from facts not opinions. This offer and objections were ar gued by Major Brown for the defend ants and by E. S. Golden and David Barclay, Esqs., for the Commonwealth. Judge Neal discussed the questions at some length and announced his de cision as follows: JI DGK MEAL'S DECISION. It has been decided long since that Christianity is a part of the common law of this Commonwealth. It is at the foundation of the law of all Chris tian governments. The teaching of its principles is encouraged by express law in some of our States ami prac ticed by general consent in many others. Churches and Sunday Schools are established and supported in every community, and their -ights protected by law. The public uave a deep in terest in all that pertains to them. If immoral teachings, either by direct example of the pastor in charge, or if his utterances from the pulpit tend to corrupt and vitiate the morals of the public, it strike* at the very principles that we recognize as part of the founda tion of our government. The Constitution has in it a clause directly referring to the rights and lib erties of the public press, restraining it from the undue exercise of the high power it might otherwise employ, and at the same time affording an ample shield to the domestic peace of the cit izen that it might invade. , While it may not be entirely clear that the prosecutor, who has been se verely criticised by the articles of de fendants' newspaper in evidence is standing in a public capacity, or that the matter referred to is proper for public investigation or information, yet us the jury are by law made the judges of the law as well as of the facts, and as these questions, under such instruc tions as the Court may give, are for their consideration, it would be a de nial of justice if it were to appear to them that the defendants come within the constitutional privileges and are debarred from presenting such evi dence as will tend to show that the publications were not maliciously and negligently made. Under the pleadings, to which the Commonwealth has not demurred, by which course the whole responsibility of decision would have been cast upon the Court, the defendants ask to show both the truthfulness and the bona fides of the publications. We are constrained to say that evidence to sustain those pleas should be admitted. If the evi dence, under the justification, if not controlled by the privileges extended by the seventh section of the Declara tion of Rights, should not be as full and complete as the charges made, it would not avail the defendants. The evidence of the truthfulness of the charges and the absence of malice in their preferment would also be im portant in their bearing upon the duty of the Court in passing sentences: for if they have been wantonly, maliciously or negligently made, and the jury should so find, it would be a proper matter for the Court to know to what extent they have been maliciously or lightly made. The objections are, therefore, overruled and the offer re ceived. A MILE A MINUTE. "How fast do you think we are trav eling?" Charley Eraser, one of the oldest engineers of the New York, Lake Erie and Western Railway, asked a Sun reporter as they were standing together on the foot board of Locomo tive No. 30'.), rushing over the mead ows toward Rutherford Park. "I should think we were going nearly a mile a minute." "A mile a minute!" said Eraser. "I doubt if you ever rode a mile a minute. Few locomotives have driv ing wheels over five feet, and I have my doubts if a five-foot wheeler can be pushed a mile a minute. People have a very erroneous idea of the speed of railroad trains. We are not going now more than 35 miles an hour, and this is very fast. Few trains make this speed. The passengers in the cars would think we were going a mile a minute sure;, if I was to pull out the throttle so as to send her forty miles an hour. The express trains make no such time as the local trains. Where we lose is with so many stops. No man can stand on a platform car and face the wind going a mile a minute, and live. The breath would actually be blown out of his body. You couldn't count the telegraph poles going a mile a minute. Talk to an old engineer of that rate being made by a passenger train, and he would laugh. I made a mile a minute once, however. It was when 1 was but 18 years of age. I was an engineer then, in charge of a fine six foot-wheel locomotive. There were a lot of railroad moguls on bqard, and the object was to make the best time we could. They were to ring the gong when the speed was a mile a minute. I thought we were making it for some time before the bell rung. At length, on a down grade, with a full head of steam, we were spinning along as if we were all going to destruction, aud the motion of the piston going over the center could no longer be distinguished, the bell rang. We had reached the rate of a mile a minute. It was the fastest I ever rode, before or since. I tried hard to make a mile a minute on subsequent miles, but lacked it three or four seconds every time. I couldn't squeeze another mile inside of the sixty seconds. When you hear a man telling about riding iu a passenger train that run a mile a minute, don't say anything, but mentally scratch off a good allowance. Two CHRISTIAN NAMES. —The cus tom of persons bearing two "Christian names." is of comparatively recent origin in England. An author, who has had occasion to search many vol umes of old country records, and who has seen "many thousands and tens of thousands of proper names belong ing to men of all ranks and degrees," says that in no instance, down to the end of the reign of Anne, has he found a mention made of any person having more than one Christian name. The lirst instance which occurs in the county records was in 1717, when Sir Coplestone Warwick Hainlield appears as a Justice. The first instance which the same author has met in any other places are those of ltenry Frederick, Pari of Arundel, born in 1608, and Sir Henry Frederick Thyme, created a baronet in 1911. Both of these appear to have been named after the eldest son of James 1., who was born in Scot land. William 111., who was a Ihitch inaii, was the first King of Kuglund who bore two Christian names.

NO. 42. THE OLD-FASHIONED GIRL. [Selected for the Citizen.] The old-fashioned girl that flourished thirty years ago was a little girl until she was fifteen. She used to help her mother to wash the dishes and keep the kitchen tidy, and she had an ambi tion to make pies so nicely that papa could not tell the difference between them and mama's; and yet she could fry griddle cakes at ten years of age, and darn her own stockings before she was twelve, to say nothing of knitting them herself. She had her hours of play and en joyed herself to the fullest extent. She had no very costly toys, to be sure, but her baby doll and little bureau aud chair that Uncle Tom made, were just as valuable to her as the S2O wax doll and elegant doll furniture the children have nowadays. She never said "I can't," and "I don't want to," to her mother, when asked to leave her play and run up stairs or down on an errand, because she had not been brought up that way. Obedience was a cardinal virtue in the old-fashioned little girl. She rose in the morning when she was called, aud went out into the gar den aud saw the dew on the grass, arid if she livetf in the country, she fed the chickens and hunted up the eggs for breakfast. We do not suppose she had her hair in curl papers, crimping pins, or had it "banged" over her forehead, and her flowers were no trouble to her. She learned to sew by making patch work, and we dare say she could do an "over aud over" seam as well as nine-tenths of grown up women do nowadays. The old-fashioned little girl did not grow into a young lady and talk about beaux before she was in her teens, aud she did not read dime novels, and was fancying a hero in every plow boy she met. She learned the solid accom plishments as she grew up. She was taught the arts of cooking and house keeping. When she got a husband she knew how to cook him a dinner. She was not learned in French verba or Latin declensions, and her near neighbors were spared the agony of hearing her pound out "The Maid en's Prayer," and "Silver Threads Among the Gold" twenty times a day on the piano, but we have no doubt she made her family quite as comforta ble as the modern young lady does hers. It may l>e a vulgar assertion, and we suppose that we are not exactly up with the times, but we honestly believe, and our opinion is based on considerable experience and no small opportunity for observation, that when it comes to keeping a family happy a good cook and housekeeper is to be gratly preferred to an accomplished scholar. When both sets of qualities are found together, as they sometimes are, then is the household orer which such a woman has control blessed. The old-fasbioncd little girl was modest in her demeanor, and she never talked slang or used by-words. She did not laugh at old people or make fun of cripples, as we saw some modern girls doing the other day. She had respect for elders, and was not above listening to words of counsel from those older than herself. She did not think she knew as much as her mother, and that her judgment was as good as her grandmother's. She did not go to parties by the time she was ten and stay till after midnight playing euchre and dancing with any chance young man who hap pened to be present. She went to l)ed in season, and slept the sleep of innocence, and rose up in the morning happy aud capable of giving happiness. And if there be an old-fashioned little girl in the world to-day may heaven bless her and keep her, and raise up others like her. .Mu. HAMLIN ANI> PRESIDENT LlN COLN.—Senator Hamlin says that while Vice-President his relations with Mr. Lincoln were always amica ble; Mr. Lincoln often consulted him.
