Large Attendance,
A largo congregation in tho Methodist
Episcopal church listened last ovonlng to a
pormon on consecration from Romans
XI 1-1-2, "I boseech you theroforo.brothron,
by tbo mercies of God that yo present your
bodios a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable
unto God which is your reasonable sorvico.
And bo not conformed to this world but bo
yo transformed by tho renewing of your
mind." Wo havo no proof that St. 1'oter
ovor saw Rome. Tho Roman church was
probably founded by porsons who woro
convorted at Jerusalem on tho day of Pen
tocost. Tho noed of apostolic c unsels led
St. Paul to address them in this op'utlo.
Ho uses tho morcles of God as an argument
In favor of thorough dodication to God.
Tho consciousness of God's goodnoss in
dolivoring us from sin, should lead us to do
tho same. When "attitude, latitudo and
platitude" becomo tho substituto for ex
perimental religion and hell begins to
spew, as it did to-day, and mon rovol in its
vomit, it is high timo for God's children to
botake thcmsolvos to prayer and to present
their wholo powers as living sacrifices to
God. Wo aro not called on to dlo for rO'
ligion but to live for it. To oxomplify its
principles and illustrato its doctrines In our
daily lifa. Conformity to tho world is in
consistent with tho obligation laid upon us
It is often difficult to seo the difference be
tween tho dally llfo of professors and un-
professors of religion. It is a disgraco to a
religious man to bo governed by tho spirit
of tho ago and to chorish tho samo am
bitions and possess tho samo aims as men of
tho world such rollgion is vain. It was
mado tho plain duty of tho christians of
Rome, as it is of those of Shonandoah, to
be transformed transfigured changed and
mado different from othor men in their
aims, principles, ffurposos, habits, etc.
And when such fruits do not appear in
thoir lifa it is becaueo thoy aro degenerato
sons and daughtors of a lifeless creed. Ono
of tho roproacho3of our ago is that in tho
Bacrod name of religion morality is often
crucified by its own votaries. St. Paul
says to Romo and to christians of overy ago
and ovory clime: "Bo not confortnod to
this world." Llvo abovo it. Bo superior
to it. Do not imitate iU methods. Rofaso
to resort to its expedients. But what ro
sponso doos Rome and the rest of tho
world mako? A religion that does not
mako men bottor than tboso who aro with
out it is worthless. And religious instruc
tions that bid defiance to thoso apostolic
admonitions aro a delusion and a snare.

JUST ORITIOISM.
Justice" Shows tho "News" Edi
tors Up In Their True Light
Editor Herald : It strikes mo v.ry
forcibly that Mr. BHtoridgo, momber of
tho Borough Council, did an unwiso act in
allowing tho bull dozing triumvirs of tho
News to givo an exhibition of thoir black
mailing proclivities over his signature
Besides, it places tbo gentleman In an
unenviable light in the oyos ol all woll-
thinbing mon. Thoso black-mailors of tho
characters of mon whom tho triumvir aro
so far beneath morally, socially, politically
and otherwise, boingawaroof tho unsavory
opinion tho public has in regard to thoir
expressions on any important question, tako
advantage of tho prejudices ot a narrow-
iniuded citizen to givo expression to certain
untruths that they, through cither fear or
knowlodgo of tho fact that thoir own
opinions would havo no weight, would not
ftthor in their Paul Pry sheet. Mr,
Betterldgo is mado to Fay that ho was awaro
that such a petition was to be presented to
council ovor a weok previous to its ap
pearanco. Now, I am In a position to
know that tho black-mailing triumvirs
havo caused Mr. B. to toll an untruth.
Tho Kewi little coterio of followers may
bavo anticipated such a petition from tbo
societies in question in opposition to the
desecration of Xho American Sabbath, for
thoy well know that such a protest would
not emanato from their un-Amorican and
bigoted minds.
Mr, Lamb's action as a mombor of tho
liorough Council needs no uoloico nor
apology at my hands. Ilis vote, in woll as
thoso members who sustainod him, goos to
show that ho is truoly an American citizen
and abelievorin tbosanctity of tho Sabbath
Hid tho matter como up for considoration
after tho parado of yostorday, there would
bavo boon moro ot tho samo opinion, And
after finding, according to tbo intorpretation
of tho borough's logal advisor, that there
was no law to sustain council in its action
ho further shows his manhood and lair
micdodnoss by moving a reconsideration
Mr. B. might folbw tho example with
much profit. Yestorday was certainly
desocration of tho Sabbath, morally, if not
legally, and tho foresight of tho petitioners
to the Borough Council is to oo com
mendod.
Mr. Editor, a word in roferonco to
tain parties who used tho Lithuanian peoplo
as a moro' tool by which to show thoir
hatred for the P. 0. S. of A. and tho Jr,
0. U. A. M. These parties try to mako it
appear that tho societies in quoslion woro
opposed to tho dedication. Such was not
tho case, as a perusal of the petition will
provo. Thoy merely and justly, too-
protested against the playing of bands of
music on our streets. To show that it is
not an interference with their rollgious
worship, the authorities in Mahanoy City
took similar action and stopped tho bands,
yet tho Polish church of that town was
duly dodicatod. Perhaps Mr. B. could ox-
pUin how this is an interference with their
rollgious worship. Justice.

Yostorday in town bnro as much resotn-
bianco to tho Sabbath as tho Fourth of
July dots to Christmas Day. Novor bofuro
in tho history of tho town, with, possibly,
tho oxception of tho timo when half tho
town laid in ruins in 1883, has tboro been
such a crowd in tho town. Tho only
somblanco of tho Sabbath was tho closed
(front) doors of tho saloons and tho oc
ca;ional ringing of church bolls, but tho
sounds of tho latter woro frequently
drowned by tho music of tho bands. Tho
music discoursed by tho lattor, by tho way,
was sacred only in ono instancrt and that
was a solection playod by tho Grant Band
just beforo tho corner stono laying coro
monies commoncod.
Tho traffic ovor tho Lehigh Valloy rail
road was treraonious. Station Agent Fer
guson estimated tho number- of passongers
at no loss than 3,000. Mahanoy City, alone,
sent ovor 500 peoplo. This immense throng
whs handled so effectually that but ono
accidont, and that was a fatal one, a man
from Plymouth losing his llfo. Thoso who
witnessed tho doparturo of tho visitors woro
surprised that tho accidents did not roll up
by scores. Tho Lehigh Valloy depot,
waiting rooms, platform, and all surround
ing placos, woro packed with humanity
and it was only with groat difficulty that
tho tracks could bo cleared to mako room
for trains to pull up to tho platform. Those
who havo been at Coney Island or Long
Branch, or Capo May, and havo witnessed
a scramble for tho last boat can form but a
slight idoa of tho scono at tho depot last
night. The screams of cbildron, tho crios
of womon and tho oaths of mon mado
scene wholly uncommon for a Sabbath day
especially in this sdction.
Tho pooplo commenced to flock into the
town at an early hour and continued to
stream in until after ono o'clock. By that
hour all thoroughfares woro thronged,
Tho membors of tho various societies
scatterod hero and thoro and whilod away
tho timo intervening betwoon their arrival
and tho starting of tho parado by visiting
frionds. Judging fr m tho appoaranco of
some of Iho visitors, their visits must havo
been numerous and tbo receptions accorded
them very enthusiastic. Said ono citizen
to a reporter, "I can't soo whoro thoy got
