A PATRIOT DISCOURSE I Member of tile flrnml Army of the It. public niul It Kindred Orcnnlzatton I'nrtnke of feast of I'atrlotlc Sentiment anil Wholesome Advice. It Is the custom of the Grand Army of the Republic to have sermons commeiuorn tlvo of Decoration Day preached In the churches of nil the towns and cities in the United States on the Sunday preceding that ilny, nnd iu nccordnnce with this custom the members of Watkln Waters Post, No. 140, G. A. It., Heury Horncnstle Camp No. 49, Sons of Veterans, and the Women's Relief Corps and Ladies' Aid Society connected with the respective or ganizations assembled iu the Presbyterian church, corner of White anil Oak streets, last evening and listened to a sermon by Itev. T. M. Morrison. The pretty edifice was filled by a largo and attentive audience, the front seats being occupied by the societies, members ot tne congregation anu visitors occupy ing the other seats. The wall of the pul pit was docorated with a large American flair, the tiost colors nnd guidons, making a very pretty combination. The discourse was an exceedingly interesting ouo anu abounded in patriotic sentiment. Hev. Morrison preceded his discourse with a few formal remarks to the mem bers ot the organizations present in which he said that In the name of the First Pres byterian church of Shenandoah he bade them welcome. Ho added that when the committee of the G. A. II. asked him to preach last evening he hesitated, but had they asked him to deliver an oration he would undoubtedly have refused. He would have felt himself unable to take up such a taste and do justice to it. But they asked him to preach a patriotic ser mon nnd he believed ho could do that in some way at least, for the Master Jesus of Nazareth has furnished a gospel of patriotism. Itev. Morrison continued "1 can tell you what lie says on the subject of our duty to our country and I Bhall try to tell it to vou in a nlaln wnv. When I turned to the Bible to look for n passage that would seem suitauiel turneu to mis: 'Other men labored and ye are entered into their labors.'" The text was taken from St. John 3. last clause of the 38th verse. Itev. Mor rison said these words must nave been very Impressive when spoken by the Master, lie had been journeying across the country of Samaria and came to the city of Sychar. He sat down at Jacob's woll and while his disciples had gone away to buy bread a woman came out to draw water. Jesus entered into con versation with her and revealed Himself ns the Messiah. Then his disciples re turned and tho woman withdrew. After a while she was seen coming out again followed bv a host of men. She told them she had found the Messiah and that lie was sitting at the well. Jesus was in conversation with his disciples nnd seeing the host coinine He chanced tho sub ject nnd said, "Sny not ye, there are Set lour montus ana men cometn harvest r lehold, I say unto you I lift up your eyes, nnd look on tho fields: for they are white already to harvest. And herein is that saying true, one soweth and another reapetn. l sent you to reap mat wnereou ye bestowed no labor: other men labored, and ye entered Into their labors." Following the line of tho text Itev. Morrison said It Is not Infrequently the case that one man may plant a tree and not eat of the fruit. As no individual stands alone In this world, so no age of generation stnnds alone; tho succeeding ages and generations reap the fruits. Every age is dependent more or less on the age that has preceded It and It was to this that Christ referred when he said "Other men have labored, and ye are en tered into their labors." One of the bless ings which wo have received from our fathers is a form of government, which, if followed will make more perfect our nation, establish justice, insure domestic traqulllty, provide for common defense promote general welfare and secure the blessiugs of liberty to every iuhabltaut of the land. Rev. Morrison referred briefly to the many occasions upon which our fore fathers had to defend the government nnd the principles upon which it Is iounueu. ahu in speaiung oi tne re bellion ho said the southern forces were the very strongest because they fought for what they considered was principle. Had not the principle been the thought and lnsDiratlon that drove them on they would have been suppressed long before they were. The pastor urged upon the congregation mat tne people oi me nation are uuty hound to keen brluht and areen the memory of those who fought and died for thern. as Jjavm gaiuereu togetuer aim and handed down to Solomon the material with which to build the temple, so the people inherited from their forefathers the material which to bnlld this vast tem ple unto God. They have given It to ns and It is ours to carry out and to work out the character of the nation. This depends largely upon tho character of the families that go to make up that nation. It was the families and not the Individ uals that bequeathed tho traits of character. In both the revolutionary war and the war of the rebellion the majority of those who first enlisted were the yonng men and those free from fumlly ties, hut it was tho husbands who went in and staded disaster and perched victory upon our banners. Tho philosophy is that the husbands feit more keenly their responsi bility. They were lighting for home lu the deepest sense. As heirs to that which their forefathers have labored the American people must at all times defend and care for tho 'country which has been handed down to them. Iu pursuance ot this they should try to assimilate the immigrants con fctautly pouring into tho country. To have separate colonies throughout the country is to permit danger In their midst. Every American should stand out and be willing to reach out to these people and try to Americanize them nnd work npon them to learn the language ot the land, And every American citizen ought to be willing to study the foreign lang uages so as to be a bio to tench these people our language and tho principles ot our government. We cannot hold the United States together If we nllow these people to grow In our midst In ignorance, nnd the nation depends upon tho Union. Then It is our duty to elevate and educate that great mass of negroes that we freed. They are here. They came not of themselves. They are n mighty power In the country to-day. They will be a still mightier power in the (utiiro and It depends upon us to educate and elevate them. It Is also our duty to develop the country, establish It more firmly, delcud It against attack and proclaim the princi ples upon which it Is founded. The nation was not founded by the godless. Whenever you hear of the goillessness spoken of this uatlou stand up for It, defend It. Whenever you hear it denied that it is a Christian country proclaim that those who founded It came here out of religions ptinciples. The first state paper was written In tho "Mayflower" and it began "Iu the nnmo of God, Amen!" Tho Congress of 1"7, when it handed down the rights to the people, It appealed to the protection of Almighty God, and thpv declared their dependence upon Him. They went further than that. They asked the ministers of tho Gospel of Jesus Christ to read the address from their different pulpits. It was rend by mln sters of overy deuoininalion. When our first President was Inaugurated tho ceremonies were preceueu uy servico ot prayer in every church in New York city nnd our magistrates have called timo nnd time agoln for days of thanksgiving nnd prayer. The Biblo is tho book on which we swear in our courts and political con ventions are frequently opened with nraycr. In appealing to the peoplo to guard the country Hev. Morrison warned against a church state. He said there is a dUTcrence between a country being founded upon Christian nrinclnles and one governed bv a church. Let the church and state be separated forever. Let us stand up for me principle or tue Declaration ot in dependence "nil men are created equal." Stand firm for freedom of thought and speech. Men deprived of this are ou a level with the brute. A state that denies freedom of thought nnd speech can never rise. In closing his sermon Hev. Morrison snid "O, if 1 could but bring the citizens ot tins country to tue leet ot .Jesus, lie is the author of the Drlncinln unon which our government is founded. It was He who tnucht us to look to God and call Him Fatlier. Ho taught us tho brother- noon or man, and it was lie who pro claimed that great doctrine of union, "I have given you a new law, that ye love one nuotuer. THE HEROIO DEAD. An Able Hud l'atrlotla Herman by lUv, W . Harrison, A largo congregation listened atten tlvely nnd with much profit to n sermon on Decoration Bay by Rev.W. H. Harrison In the Knglish Baptist church, on South Jnrdln street, Sunday evening. The text wns tnken from Revelation 8: 4. "And they Bhall walk with me in the white, for tuey nre wormy." Jtev. Jiurrison sam: Decoration Day is the outcome of a nation's gratitude. It is a day set apart for the expression of our admiration of the noble deeds of those who suffered, bled nuu.uieu in tneueicnse oi tne union anil for them who were held in tho cruel bond age of slavery. Perhaps there nre here present this evening some who nre not very deeply interested in tins nntlonnl displayof patriotism, as none of their im mediate friends suffered in the great btruggle for liberty; but, as loyal citizens of the stars and stripes, it is our duty to honor the day and memory of the dead. as we nre also participants in the blessings tnat cost so mucu ot tne good mood, ns well as the rich treasures of America. The religion ot Jcmis Christ teaches men to be pairiotic; therefore It Is the duty of every one to realize the claims of the state, as well ns to lie obedient and faith ful to their duties to God. The Christian who holds the cross of Jesus Christ in his right hand aud thu standard of his country in bis left will make a good citizen. Next Wednes day is Decoration Day, and the people of the United States, from Maine to Califor nia, nnd from the lakes to the gulf, will assemble in thousands to keep high holiday in commemoration of tiie valiant deeds of those who fell on the battlefields In defense of the principles ot Union and Liberty. Tho bugle call will be heard in the land, and iu response to that call tens of thousands of veterans, soldiers mid citizens will fall into line and their measured tread will beat time to the martial strains of a thousand bands; rifles and swords will gleam in the sunshine nnd prancing steeds, with their riders, will add to the glory of the scene as they march to the cities ot the dead, as the almoners of floral tributes to decorate the resting places of those who sleep beneath the sod, waiting patiently the trumpet call to muster at the grand review on the fields ot eternity. Thirty-one years ago ten states with a population of teu millions were in open rebellion nnd tho blood of three hundred thousand men was offered on the altar of sacrifice as the price of Union nnd Liberty; nud, for tho time being, the blood-red demon wns satisfied. Since that time there has been pence within our borders and on Wednesday, next, the banner ot the Union will Hoat from every capital dome, flagstaff and masthead in the nation, iuhonor of the heroic dead; a sea of patriotism will deluge the land; it will sweep over every city; Its waves will lap the foot of every mountain, Inundate the plains, surge through every valiey, aud its dashing spray will lull upon every hearthstone of tho nation, And, al though a tear will drop here and there in loving memory of the father, the sou ami the brother, it will be, nevertheless, a sen of gladuess and impulse of patriotic sympathy throbbing nnd pulsating throughout the length nnd breadth of the laud. A stranger In our midst might ask the question ; Why this great demon stration ' The answer is : because Liberty Uveal and sits and reigns enthroned in the hearts of the people, as tho Queen of the nation ! Liberty is the fair sister of truth. She is one of the sweetest angels ot mercy in the universe of God, As a messenger from Heaven she comes to us to uplift tho down trodden, to break the bonus of tyranny, to snap tho shackles of superstition, and to unbolt the bars ot political captivity. Sha wears on horfeot the sandals ot helpfulness, her wings fan the breath of freedom and her hands pour out b'esnlniHi all along the pathway of humanity. Her brow Is as fair as the morning ; tuero is light lu her eye, kind ness upon her Hps. and her smile is a benediction. Her garments are from the looms of progress nud her girdle is strength. It was she who stood beside the emancipated (CbnKntwd on fourth pagi.) NESANDRAILROADS Collieries Resumed Operations On Full Time To-day.

It was reported this morning thnt there was n cave-in on the Lehiuh Vnllov Ilnll- road nt Kohinoor Junction, but the report proved to lie groundless. In mnklng an engine bed the P. & It.

Tho disturbance did not prevent cars passing over the trurks. Tho Lehigh Vnlley Itailroad bridge nt Homcsvlllo which was swept awny by the Hoods last week lias been replaced.

Two drunk en young men of Shenandoah last evening caused considerable excitement here by driving their horses up one ot the streets 1 1 a dead gallop. Chief Burgess Stern ..ccosted the drivers unon their return and upon examining the horses found that one was almost exhausted and the othe-had been driven without shoes on .ts foro hoofs, which were badly torn. The Burgess attemnted to advise the men kindly by telling them that they hould go home and the animals were in no condition to bo driven. The advice wns not taken. On the contrary the men abused tho Burgess and told him that the horses belonged to them and they would do as they d d pleased, whereupon they were arrested nnd taken before instice nnerman, wno uneti mem ?iu.m One of the men refused to pay and was locked un.
