Harsha's Sermon on lIre- land’s Patron Saint. The following asynopsis of a sermon deliverced at the First Presbyterian chureh by Rev. W. J. Harsha, D.D,, on the subject “St. Patrick and His Times:! As a convenient.text for what I have to say tonight I will ask your attention to Acts v, 9: “Toere stood & man of Mace- donia and prayed - him, saying: ‘Come over 110 Macedouia aud help us.’ St. Patrick was uvot a Roman Catholic. Ho was us near a I>resbyterian as anything eise, though his creed needed revision. To begin with, his father, though a clergyman, was married, and his grandiather, though a priest, was ulso murried. and St. Patrick in mentioning these facts does not indicate that they were out of the ordinary customs of the priésts of the tume. St Patrick was mde- pendent of Rome. In his “Confeasions” he never meations Rome or the pope. He dows not appeal to tradition t establish anything, and in his. frequent quotations from tue scriprures seems to take them us sufiicient All of which goes to prove that he was not a Koman Cathoiic, He calls his father a presbyter. In the Book of Durrow he is himself called a presbyter, and Venerable Dede calls. him a presbyter. ‘This does not brove that he was a Presbyterian, but it does give an idea of amicable equality between the clergy of the ume, His doctrines are simplicity iwelf, and he evidently knows little of book and candlo and cares less. Salvation in Christ the Lord 18 his only gospel and he is deter- mined not to know avything but this among men, With him is 1useparably connected wio name of St. Bridget, and it has strik. ingly peen said that Ireland was converted by two slaves who had never baen to Rome, neithor had they any connection with the popo: 80 that the ordinary course of church nistory was just reversed on that island. In othier countries there has been a progress from Cutholicism to Proteswantism, but in Ireland the change was from a semi-Protest- antism to Catholicism. St. Patrick wus born in Scotland, ata little placo which men claim _they can still t i ick, between Dumbarton and Glasgow, His origunal name was Suc: oat, and is said to mean_“strong in war.” His parents wern Chiristians ana he exempli- fles anew the influence of godly parents upon the future tate of their offspring. What the; taught their little boy in the ola Scottisl home was to bear rich fruit in the troublous life ho was called to lead. When he was sixteen years of age he was carried away captive in an incursion of Irish chieftains, and for some six years was a slave on island which now hails him as its patron saint, He tells us in his “Confessions” that his occupation at this time was to feed the oattle of his master, and he beautifuily describes how of- ten he would turu from these pursuits to koeel down and pray to the God of his father and mother. Here 1 see a pointea lesson for the young men who are wway from home and who are surrounded by temptatious which seem to interfora with their Christian growth. You may well take patiern afier the brave custom of the slave ad, aud pray to the God you have learned to revere av the old home, for surely youe trials and distractions are not greater than Lis wore, By a bold attempt and after great Ward- ships St. Patrick at leugth made his escape. Bul he had oot boen at home long before he was again taken cavtive and again carried to the island on which his missionury labors were to be performed. You see from ull this how God prepares men for their life work by adversity and trial. It is not clean sailing with tho men whom God intends to use for the emancivation of the race. In his lonely captivity St. Patrick had opportunity W meditate, as David and Micab and Moses before hun had wone. And in this time of hardship, when the lad may have often felt that.God had forgotten him, he was learning the language of the common people of Ire: land, a possession which enabled him to do the work of evangelization which has de- scendod to us in connection with his name, Having for the second tine made his es: cape from his captors he went back home, but hus spirit was stirred within bim. His parénts dusired him to rest quistly where he was, but the thcught of the great unsaved mass of poople over oa the island-drove slecp from his eyelias, He speaks of a divine voice that over sounded in his ears. Or 1f he slept it was only to see visious of massengars [rom lreland eatreating hiw to xuluuuvor to the hielp of the people. The lacedonian ery which T have used as wy THE text tonight is almost a leral transiation of the invitations which be says wero ever rioging through his dreams. So off he sot for the monasteries of southern France, the only theological scminarios of the time un- fortunately, and it was there that he picked up the few notions of uscetic and monastic service which interfere with the pure flow of his simple goapel teaching. With a company of friends and followers he returned to Ireland about tho year 450: and from this on his life was one of great usefulness and devotion, He is a saint an whom all churches which value true man- liness and pure gospel thinking have a share, acd from the time when he peacefully breathed the last breath out of his nostrila until now men have risen up to call him blessed. Ho shows what one consecrated man can do. Ireland will never bs what it ought to be until the prople get back to the temperance, practical godliness aund_simple wospel teaching ndvocated by St Patrick. Let me give you a few lines from one of his poems as a bit of practical helpfulness ‘T bind to myself today-— ‘The power of God to guide me, The wight of God to uphold me, The wisdom of God to teach me. Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me, Christ in the heart of every man who speaks to me, g Christ in every oye that secs me, Christ in every ear that hears me, Salvation is of the Lord, Salvation is of Christ; Muy Thy saivation, O Lord, be éver - Confirmation at All Saints. In keeping with the custom of the E pai church, Midlent was observed at All Saints church yesterday morning with the impressive ceremony of coufirmation of can- didates who had avowed there intention of becoming members of the Episcopal church and had been accepted. Those confirmed were: Mrs, H. D, Wheeler, jr., Mra, H. P. Whit- more, Miss Hattie Francis Cady, Miss Lill May Wilson, Miss Lauie Gertrude Drake, Miss Fredreka Shaw Bernard, Miss Georgie Chapman, Miss Madelin Chapman, Miss Elsio Pauline Howes, Miss Jean Lois Mar- ble, Miss I%iora Antoinette Patton, Mr. K- gar Wallace Dennison. 3 The ceremonies were conducted-by Bishop Worthington. He was assisted’ by Rov. Lows Zshner. The procession of ‘the un- usually large surpliced choir was mposing and the music was beautiful and in perfect keeping with tho wacred event.. ‘The con- tralto solo sung as an- offertory by Miss Pennecll was rendered 1n an impressive man- uer, a8 was also the soio sung by Mr. T.J. Pennell. . Bishop Worthington took for the subject of his disclosure part of Luke i, 1: “Those things which are most surely believed among us.” At the close of the sermou, and while the congregation sang ‘“‘Just. as I am, without one plea,” the candidates for confirmation came forward and presented themselves at the chancel railing with uncovered heads Rev. Zabner stood near Uhe candidates and annonnced to the bishop that the persons be- fore him had been guestioned’ and found fitted for membership. = Tha bishop then ap- proached the altar, and after an invogation advauced to the railing and in‘ turn laid his hands upon the heads of the kneeling candi- dates, asking a blessiug on each. The bishop then advanced to the altar and khelt, the en- tire congregation also knobling. All joned in reciting the Lord's prayer, after which the bishop uttered another prayer. He then turned to the chancel railne ana the candidates arose to lsten to counsel Dy the bishon, who impressed upon them the fact that they were now ciuizens of (God's kingdom. ‘‘As all good citizens,” §aid he 10ust pay taxes to the government, so must you pay for the maiutenance of God’s church. A tenth of all you bave belongs to God. This 1 want you all to remember. 1ut above all, let your walk and talk before vour fellow men become. citizeus of the kingdom of God and you will ba a means of bringing others to God.” At the close of those words of counsel the candidates took their places with - the - other members of the congregation, and the ex- ercises ended in the usual manner. ——— A Big Crevasse at Raleigh.

The Principall Source of the Eocial Troubles. FATHERHUNTINGTON'S LECTURE Henry George's Single Tax Theory Proposed. ag the Remody — 1t Wonl@ Anolish the Vacant Lot Industry. The Industrial Enfgma. A large and appaventiy very friendly au- dience gathered to hear I"ather Huntington £t the Boyd Sunday afternoon on tho solus tion of whe social problem. TH® young preacher began by a short ro- view of his lecture on the previous Sunday. His former tallk, be sald, had boen devoted mainly to picturing the evils that existed, with only a hint at the cause and the rem- edy. Now he proposed to dwell more par- ticularly upon the remedy. The speaker then dwelt uvon the industrial condition. He spoke of the unrelenting, daily giind for bread and of the growing dissatisfaction of tho masses. Men every where felt that the times were out of joint and eagexly looked for some oue to mend them. So universal was this discontent, so eager were the people to escape their hard lot, that no schemo was too visionary, no sophist so unwise but that the onc would find advocates and the other enthusiastic foliowers., It was anywhere, anyhow out of the bell of the present. Impossible Utopias, castles in the air to which noladder reached up were the hopes of many—so unwilling to be- lieve were men that there is no detivercuce. Mankind then was looking and longing for something better, watching and waitivg for deliverance. What was the avenue of es- sape! Who would be the leader? A famous ministe had said the three T's—Thrift, Toil and Temperance—would solve the problem. How would toil remedy the evils under which men groan? There are people in New York Citv who certainly toil hard enough, yet they are poor. He knew of peo- ple who worked seven days in the woglk, from 6 in the morning till 9 at night, they were painfully saving and strictly temperate, yot thoy were very poor, they only existed. Surely the world was working hard enough, much too hard. Did anyone believe that tha hardest workers got the greatest rewards? How could the poor man be economicall He paid more for everything than the rich. ke bought coal by the bucket, paying four prices for 1t; he bought flour by the pound— his limited resourses compelled bim to be extravagant. If in England hundreds of years ago the people lived and were happy “only working ‘cight hours a day, why couldn’t men do1% now. Then industry was an infant. Men turned up the ground witl a crooked stick or spade. There were none of the inventions trhich bave since added s0 wonderfully to the productive power of labor, steam had not yet been haraessed, clectricity was & mysterious thing, yet with methods cruds and wasteful and with im- plements of the very rudest kinds the Briton of that time made a hiving working shorter hours than his descendants do today, and thoso days are still looked sback to as the golden age of Merry England—the good old davs told of in songand story. More work Wwas not the remedy. Prohibition wgs put forward by many ay the panacea, but in the first place pronibi- tion didn’t probibit, and if it could it would do notbing toward the solution of the economic troublec - If it accomphshed all its advocates claimed for it, if it closed every saloon, matters would not be improved, they would be even waorse. It would only inten- sify the trouble. . Drankeaness was caused by poverty, nob poverty by drunkenness. ‘Where men were forced to work long hours for low wages they became brutalized. The animal instincts got the asceadency and they cared only for animal pleasures, hence the drunkard. The speaker declared his belief in trades unions, and said he was a member in good standing of the Knights of Labor. 'The eight hour idea, he said, was a good one: he bo- lieved in governmant control of all businesses which in their nature were monapolies —th tolegraph, railroads, street cars, wa works, ete.—but he was not a socialist, nor a communuist, Onthe contrary, he was an in- dividualist. He did not believe in the gov- ernment nterfering in things thatindividuals could do to better advantage. Bellamy's plan he considered a very lubberly scheme. Father Huntington’s remedy is in suo stunce the abolition of all indirect ta from tho tariff tax to the poll tax. There is no new law to be made to begin with, It is essentinlly a lobping-off process. There is now a tax on nearly cverything. Abolish all these but or.e, the tax on iand values, and the reme remans—‘‘the single tax.” "Thia, he argues, 18 the first and fundamental roform. All others are but superficial. 1f you improve methods of production, nurify the administration of governments, run the ratiroads and the telegraph free, raise wages by the power of iabor unions, teach men to be sober and thrifty and to work hard every day 1t wiik all result merely in the increase of wealth, Jand will become more valuable and the landlord will be the gainer., not the workers. ‘The people make land val- uable, therefore the increase be- to the people. Let men be and . honest and thrifty, but them rveap the rewards of their virtue, not the landlord. The great trouble was the mouopoly of land. If land values were taxed high enough bo man coula afford to hold land for speculative purposes. Vacant lands would be improved, and the whole commuuity vould reap the benefit. Natural resources wouid be thrown open, and want aud the fear of want wonld disappear, for every man would be able to employ himself if no one sought his servicos, At the end of his specch Father Hunting- ton answered sevoral questions put to him by versons in the audience, and invited those who felt that the remedy pronosed was a wise one to attend the eemi-monthly sunday meetings of tne Single Tax club at Gate City hall, B Garrison Notes.
