A PATRIOTIC SERMON. Delivered by Rev. L. O. Manchester, of the First M. E. Church on

Sunday, July 1st.

"Can ye not discern the signs of the times."--Matt. xvi: 3. The Scribes and Pharisees were so busy with the instruments of religion, that they had little opportunity to take care of men, or to see what the providence of God was doing among them, or to watch the movement of things good or bad.

The ground was shaking under their feet; they were standing on the eve of events which were to eclipse the glory of the Jewish people. They were within a hand's breath of the greatest catastrophe that had visited their nation. They were within an arm's length of that revolution which was to bring down their capital and scatter

their people.

Already the symptoms were in the sky, and the tremblings were in the

earth; and yet they did not see them

nor believe them.

Jesus reproached them, that they were too observant of the mutable appearance in the heavens, but were so blind to great moral events. In other

words, they refused to look and see

what God was doing by his providence in the time in which they lived, and they were to be justly reproached for their conduct.

Let us not fall into the same condemnation, nor consider anything which deeply concerns the welfare of our country and our kind as unworthy of our consideration. To the true, thoughtful American citizen, there is a questioning as to the permanency of our National Government and its cherished institutions. Great questions of state come thronging the mind; grave problems of duty, and danger, and destiny are gathering momentous interest. And is it true that there can be a doubt as to the permanence and continued unparalleled prosperity of our country? Yes; and we do well to ponder it. I know our national strength was tested by the fiery ordeal of civil war; but thanks to the valor of our

noble sons, she stood the test grandly, and came out of the struggle with the freshness and vigor of a young giant still gleaming on her brow; but his-

tory is not without its sad examples of illustrious armies and nations victorious on the battle-field, succumbing at length to the more subtle and insiduous foe of internal corruption, bred of luxury, lust and lawlessness.

Is it treason to suggest that the laws of God are immutable, and hence that it is not beyond the limits of possibility that this nation may follow in the train

of others whose decline and fall the historian's pen has chronicled? There is no more safety for the nation than the individual in disregarding of God's

immutable laws. "Be sure your sin will find you out," and bring irrevocable punishment, is God's word to the nations and States, and corporations, as well as to individuals.

Wrong-doing, abuse of privilege, disregard for God and the right, is followed by loss of power, and attended with peril to the nation as well as to the person.

"Them that honor me I will honor," is the eternal principle upon which God governs men and nations. That we as a nation shall be overthrown and go down to utter ruin, I cannot consent to entertain the thought,

much less would venture to make such a prophecy.

Nevertheless, it is wise to consider what dangers threaten us, and consider where our safety lies.

What thoughtful person, that does not know that there is a condition of things in our country that awakens alarm and apprehension for our future.

There have been many long months of business depression, in which mill, factory and furnace have stood in silence, and thousands and tens of

thousands of workmen have been compelled to enforced idleness, which has brought suffering and starvation to their once happy and prosperous homes.

There is surging unrest, and an ominous moan of complaint with the common, but intelligent of many of our people. A great disquiet pervades the public mind of to-day.

There is a loss of confidence in our courts of civil and criminal justice. A few years ago "Jersey Justice" was proverbial, and comparatively few murders were committed in our State. Now, "Jersey Crime" is proverbial because the laws are not executed. Unavenged murders disgrace our State, criminals are numbered among our lawmakers, prisons are emptied on parole of criminals, while the slums are more potential in our courts than the best citizens. Murderers who are convicted, and lawyers who defend them seek new trials. Why? Not because there is a doubt that they are guilty of murder, but simply to shield criminals from punish-

ment, and make for themselves a repu-

tation for smartness. The public officer, whether he be prosecutor, sheriff, judge or policeman, is popular among evil-doers to the extent that his influence and power are thrown on the side of lawlessness and crime. If every convicted murderer had been hung during the past ten years there would not be so many murders committed to-day.

How long our form of government can stand this strain remains to be seen.

We think that the time has come to display the danger signal. Then, again, until recently, there were equal opportunities for the accumulation of wealth. We say until re-

cently. Some one may be ready to inquire, When did these equal rights disappear? We answer, When our government began the fostering of "pools," "trusts" and all forms of heartless monopolies to the betterment of the

rich and the detriment of the poor.

We have hundreds of thousands of laborers among us to-day who can scarcely hope ever to see the day when the sun will shine through windows of a cottage which they can call their own, for it takes all they can make from year to year to keep the wolf from the door. And even wife and children in manufacturing centres are compelled to assist in earning the daily bread. At the same time our Vanderbilts, Goulds, Sages, Carnegies, and others, are piling up collossal [sic] fortunes. Their money even buys the seats in the halls of legislation, where laws, suitable to their own better interests, are enacted.

And there is still another cause for fear in that of foreign immigration.

Two hundred years ago Europe sent us her best blood. No nobler men lived than the Puritans of England, the Huguenots of France, and others, who, like them, longed for an asylum where they could enjoy the blessings of religious freedom, and a fuller, freer development. For a hundred years or more, our sister continent sent us tens of thousands of her most manly men, and most womanly women. They came for life. They put heart and soul and body into the higher advancement of America. But how is it to-day? To-

day we get the very dregs of earth's nations. Europe has made America a dumping ground of filth. To this rule, it is true, there are noble and worthy exceptions, but the general fact remains the same.

For those who come for honorable purpose--to be loyal, patriotic Ameri-

cans--we have a welcome. But none for those who dwell among us whose citizenship is in foreign city or country.

We want not the man who seeks to Swedenize, Germanize, or Romanize the United States. Let such go back from whence they came; we want them not. As for us, we are neither English, German or Roman--we are Americans, and we propose to be American in all our thoughts, ways and institutions.

We have no right to allow our country to be foreignized. We have no right to permit ruthless hands to be laid upon to destroy our institutions, our Sab-

baths, are schools. To permit this would be unfilial, and violating a sacred trust. Our sires would arise from their graves to rebuke us. The blood of in-

numerable battle-fields would cry out against us. And the spirits of return-

ing braves whose bodies are scattered all the way from the Pine Tree State to Mexico's Gulf, from the Atlantic to the Pacific's slope would testify at the judgment against us.

Again, moral issues are ignored in our political contests. The two great parties come to their annual or quadrennial grapples. Pens race over reams of paper, and tongues wag most nimbly,

while the leaders gather all strength for the conflict. And at the present time we have a jangle about "free silver," "tariff," and "party patronage;" but where is the "moral issue" of the strug-

gle? Both parties, in their anxiety to get all the votes possible, good and bad, steer clear of every moral question, as if

it were a pest-house. There are moral issues lying like a nightmare upon the conscience of the nation--evils that threaten the very life of the Republic.

Intemperance, with its brood of vices, enjoying a monopoly. And then the Lord's ordinance about the Sabbath, an ordinance as old as creation, is openly

attacked, and is being set aside; social evils reaching forth the vile hand to lay hold upon legislation; the careless and partial distribution of the right of suff-

rage, giving the ballot to men out of the old world before they can call for their whiskey and lager beer in decent English; bribery in voting. These questions are ignored in the manifestoes of both parties, or merely hinted at, the hint simply to gain votes.

This leaving the moral element out of the management of public affairs is America's greatest danger. Every civ-

ilization that has gone down has perished from a lack of moral integrity. The vices of Persians opened Persia to the Greeks; the immoralities of the Greeks laid Greece at the feet of Rome; the drunkenness, oppressions and licentiousness of the Romans betrayed Rome to the barbarians; Julius Cæsar, "the foremost man of the world" was bankrupt from reckless living, and in personal virtue he was anything but irreproachable.

If we do not rise above the selfish, the mercenary, the cowardly; demanding integrity of our rules, and of our po-

litical parties a brave, honest avowal of moral principal [sic], the name of our country will go upon the death roll of nations. We should candidly inquire on which side are the Sabbath-helping

people, of those who would close the grog-shops; rescue the fallen, and help the oppressed. As Lincoln said, "the thing to be anxious about is not to get the Lord on our side, but to get our-

selves on His side. If we find our-

selves with those who are bad people generally, we may well fear that we are not on the Lord's side.

God says to the great parties of this country, "by the principles of Christi-

anity control, remodel, educate and de-

liver the people!" Let them fall and down they go! God can spare a mil-

lion of the foremost political plotters of the day, and raise up a generation who shall do justice and love mercy. God is rich in resources. He could spare a Luther before the reformation was done, and Washington before the government had been fully tested; if then, God could spare such men, He can spare any man and any party of men. Let a man through cowardice or blind devotion to partisanship, forsake the cause of righteousness he falls, but right over him march the armed batalions [sic] of God.

Again, there are foes who have been concentrating their forces against that great factor of our national prosperity--

our common schools--which has been for the last century steadily lifting the whole nation from the mires of ignorance and superstition. This priceless gift of our free institutions has been,

and is being assailed, and it has rocked in the breeze of foreign influence,

which threatens to wipe out "the little red school-house" which is the nation's hope and joy, the patriot's anchor, the American's pride. But may the senti-

ment, the feeling that has led you to place the emblem of our nationality over nearly all of the school-houses of our land, still grow until the American

people shall with one voice proclaim in tones of thunder that no flag or church banner, not even as big as a man's hand, shall float over the school-houses in preference to the flag of our nation.

I am not one who believes that as a nation we shall be utterly overthrown. And I dislike uncalled for criticism.

But I deeply feel that there is great ne-

cessity for warning along these lines, and even yet others unnamed. As

Americans we must awake to a sense of the imperative importance of these questions. We must not suffer the enemy to lead us across the danger line.

We must act decisively, and that at once.

God has over and over again, in the last hundred years, shown that He means to have this country for Himself.

Was it the greatness of Washington, and the bravery of Kosciusko, the devotion of Marion, and the patriotism of our fathers that saved our land in the Revolutionary encounter? No! It was the God who, in the awful winter

nights at Valley Forge, looked upon our troops, and roused the heart of the brave Pole till he came to fight for our

cause, and enkindle hope in our ancestors to do and die for us their children.

It was Jehovah that at Lexington and Yorktown unsheathed his sword and exclaimed to the trembling colonists,

"Forward! I will make of thee a great nation, and thine enemies shall lick the dust!"

Many years passed on, and God looked down upon the nation and said,

"Let my people go out of bondage." We came out of our commercial houses at the North, and up from our Southern plantations, and said: "This shall never be." God sent upon the nation awful scourges of Asiatic cholera and yellow

fever; and through the reeking hospitals with still more emphasis came the

command, "Let my people go." No! answered the warehouses. No! ans-

wered ninety-nine of the hundred pul-

pits. No! exclaimed Congressional hall. No! answered Presidential chair.

No! No! No! exclaimed all the ballot boxes--North, South, East, West. God came again and said, "Let my people

go!" And this time he prostrated the nation with a great financial panic.

Down went ten thousand business firms. Rich men turned into paupers,

and vast populations with no work to do and no bread to eat. And it was answered back, "No! this will soon

blow over. This is the long-credit sys-

tem. We must be more prudent." And soon the factories roared with new activities, and the exchanges grew noisy with quick bids of stocks.

God came again and said, "Let my people go," and the black cloud of battle hovered over the land, and there was one dead in every house. Long, deep trenches reached from Baltimore to Corinth, and from Florida to Gettysburg, into which was poured the blood of a million men. Woe! woe! woe! At last the nation went to its knees. "Let

the bondsmen go!" exclaimed all parties and all sections. The work was done, and God showed us scoffing England and chagrined France, and hating despotism that He meant to have this land for Himself. In all their dealings how like the present. Political corruption, and social evil, and that horrible crime, that most hellish of all sins, the liquor

traffic, has the nation, and the great parties in its embrace. God says, by His judgments, put these away from you. This we must do or other more scathing judgments will fall upon us.

You ask me to which party I belong. I answer, I belong to the Theocracy. I am a subject of God's government, and I belong to His party, and I always vote on God's side.

The time will be when your party, O, party man! will be only a matter of history; but my party will gain its greatest triumph when the glories of

eternity swallow up the significance of earth.

Young and old, I ask you to join this party. In preference to the petty office of worldly emolument, I to-night, as God's messenger, offer you crowns, thrones and eternal riches. The poorest shall be a king, and the plainest resi-

dence a mansion.

In that day better to have had nothing better than a bench in the alms house, with grace in the heart, than, unforgiveness, to have gone up to the high

official position, followed by the ap-

plause of the multitude. Hosanna! to the leader of our party. The Lord God Omnipotent reigneth!

More About the Directories.

DEAR SENTINEL: I have been skim-

ming the froth off Mary T. Rush's article of last week to find what solid

substance there was in it, but I found when I got all the froth skimmed off

there was nothing left. But one would suppose that there would be at least a grain of gratitude remaining for service rendered, which she so readily expressed

towards me a year ago, and said I was the best friend she had. Now she can hardly find words big enough to make me look little enough in the eyes of the people. If I had written about her or said anything against her I would not have wondered. But I have no official power now. She has no more use for me, and like the salt that has lost its (official) savor is only fit to be cast out and trodden under the foot of (wo) man; but I fail to see where that political "mud slinging" comes in that she writes about.

Let us look into this book business for a little while. In 1892, Mary T. Rush proposed to have a work that she had been getting up put in print more for her own gratification than anything else. When she showed it to me I saw it would be a good advertising medium for Ocean City, and told her I thought Council would help her to bring it before the people. I took the matter before Council and succeeded in getting her a donation of $125 for 1000 copies. Early in 1893 she suggested the idea of enlarging the book and adding some new features to it, if Council would aid

her. I explained the matter to Council and that body concluded, as the first edition was pretty well exhausted, to give her $250 (the full amount asked for) and get 2000 copies struck off and that would answer for two or three years, as it was not likely there would be any more needed for that length of time and perhaps never. I refer you to ex-Councilmen Corson and Canfield for further proof. The price was paid, but instead of having them shipped to

the Mayor, as they were the year before, they were shipped to her own house and "she doled them out," as she calls

it, to the Mayor and Council. Some got none. I presume she kept all she could use. This ended the purely busi-

ness transaction. She delivered the goods and received pay for them. After that she had no jurisdiction over them, only through suffrage. All the advertising had been placed under my care, and for which I was responsible to Council. I was glad to give the books to every one that called for them, and

gave them a copy for a friend, if they wanted. I have not had a call from any hotel, save the Brighton for twentyfive copies, which I delivered in person.

I challenge Mary T. Rush to produce a single case where I or any member of my family refused a single call. I had a standing advertisement to send for them in the Philadelphia Press, Local News, of West Chester; Cape May Season, and The Outlook, of New York. I sent a package of the books by express to the latter office, by request of the publishers, and by inquiries through these sources I sent a great many over a great part of the United States, but I never allowed them to be wasted, if I knew it, because they were bought with the people's money. Soon after my term as Mayor expired I notified Council, through Councilman Sutton, that I had a good many copies on hand; that I thought there were enough to supply the wants of the people for another year, and he said he would see about it; but they never sent for them until since I mentioned it in the paper. In the latter part of last winter Mary T. Rush seemed unusually anxious to have all the books distributed, and when I became acquainted with her methods of distributing I was not favorably impressed with them. I felt satisfied that she was trying to get them out of the way for another edition. She told me one day that she had paid postage on a

great many and did not feel able to pay any more. She also said there was a great demand for the books. I told her there was yet remaining at my disposal a balance of the money appropriated for advertising, and I thought it would

be proper to use some of it in paying postage on those books in order to get

them into the possession of the right kind of people. This she agreed to, and in a short time she brought me thirty packages. A great part of them were

directed to Ercildoun, a little country hamlet in Chester county, about three

miles from any railroad. The postage on this lot was $1.40. She then thought it would be cheaper to send

them by express. I gave my consent, and in a short time she sent me a pack-

age which she said contained fifty books directed to John Rush, Paoli, Chester county. I paid thirty cents freight on

it to Philadelphia. I could pay it no farther from this station. In a few days after, Mr. Edwards, express agent,

told me he had received word from the office at Paoli that John Rush refused to take the package out of the office.

I told him that I had sent it for Mrs. Rush and I would tell her about it,

which I did. Her reply was; "It's strange." That is the last I heard from it. After this she never asked me to pay on any more packages.

Mary T. Rush has entered into this controversy without any cause or provocation. But if she [?] into it, why not use language that will pre-

serve the decorum of her sex, and not stoop to that which would grace the vernacular of the lowest politician. She ought to be satisfied with her venture.

If I mistake not, she has received $625 from the public treasury in the last two years. She ought to thank her stars

(if she don't thank anybody else) for her good fortune, and not use language to try and belittle those who helped

her to it, merely because she cannot have her own way in a matter that is none of her business.

In regard to the affidavits, I would say they are wrong. Champion's is false from beginning to end, as I have a good witness to prove that every state-

ment he made there is false, and I will attend to his case further in. G. P. MOORE.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday, July 9, 1894. Store closed Saturdays at 1 o'clock.

COTTON DRESS GOODS. Almost like going into the cotton field and picking the patterns from the plants--prices are pushed to a point so low. And the choicest weaves are the ones that drop furthest! We are making this the most interesting July the store ever presented to buyers of fine Cotton stuffs.

This half dozen or so stands for scores:

37½c. Plain Organdies at 18c. 50c. Japanese Crepes at 25c. 45c. Scotch Zephyrs at 25c. 25c. Fancy Ducks at 18c. 30c. Striped Galatea at 20c. 30c. Scotch Ginghams at 25c. 45c. Scotch Crepes at 20c.

SILK GINGHAMS.

All white. Made to sell at 50c, among the handsomest of this season's creations. But a trade wind brings them here at 25c.

The mere announcement is enough. They're at one of the Main Aisle counters, Chestnut street.

HALF-WOOL CHALLIS, 12½c

Kinds that were 18c last season; better--prettier in the printing, finer in the thread, closer in the weave. You look for them to be 25c instead of 12½c.

MEN'S CLOTHING Trousers for 1000 men--Cheviots, Cassimeres, Wor-

steds; only 2 or 3 of a kind.

Price value when made, $5 and $6. Value for to-day's sales, $2, $2.50 and $3.50.

A few days since we told you of Suits of imported Homespun at $10 from $22.50. The goods are very elegant, the tailoring is very swell and the sizes complete. Colors light.

Some current bargains in fancy Linen Vests: Are $1.50, $2.50, $3. Were $3, $4, $5.

RE-UPHOLSTERING FURNITURE

Are the Easy Chairs or the Sofa or the Parlor pieces or any parts of the Upholstered Furniture a bit shabby?

Yes? Been thinking of hav-

ing them re-covered? Hesitate because of the cost?

Don't hesitate any longer. We've cut the cost as work of this quality was never cut before. This is the way of it:

1--Every piece of Furniture Covering in the Upholstery store has been gone over, many of the choicest have been marked at LESS THAN HALF PRICES. 2--During July and August we will do Upholstering work AT COST! Either recovering old Furniture, or covering new Furniture to your order.

Do you realize what that means?--far less than cost on many of the goods--no profit on the labor. These are some of the materials to be used in the work: At $7.50 the yard.--63 in. Satin Damask that was $18. At $7.50 the yard.--63 in. Brocatelle that was $15. At $3 and $4 the yard.--50 in. Brocatelle that was $9 to $10. At $2 the yard.--44 in. Brocatelle that was $3.50 and $4.

At $3.50 and $4.50 the yard.--Silk Sheets that were $8.50 and $10.

A large variety of 6 and 8 yard remnants, all good pat-

terns and colorings, are also put at half former prices. Any of these goods will be sold by the yard at the reduced prices. HAMMOCKS Maybe you mean to take it easy. Nothing like a Hammock if you would woo the dreamy, drowsy Morpheus. Mexican Hammocks, 13 feet long, 50c; finer ones, $5, $7.50, $12, $15, $20, $25 and $30. Woven Cotton Hammocks, with spreader, 75c and 90c. Decorative Hammocks, with valance, $2.50 and $3.50. Hammocks with mosquito net, $3 and $4.

HIGH GRADE BICYCLES $55

Find the same wheel almost anywhere else and the price will be $90 or $100. It would be $90 or $100 here IF WE TOLD THE NAME. So too the Continental--$70 and $75; they'd be $125 or $150 as the _____ JOHN WANAMAKER.
