Doty In the Hampton Street Church Last Night. ANCIENT ORIGIN OF THE KNIGHTS Imminently ltufcrruil to by thu Speaker Who Also Dwelt Upon this Work Thuv Performed WIilmi J'lrst Culled Into Itulng unit the Work That Con fronts Them 'J'oduy--Dangers Tlnit Threaten Country mid the Causes. Anthracite nnd Klcetrlc City com mnnderles, Knights of Mulla, attend ed divine service in the Hamilton Street Methodist Kplsropul church lust night, and a sne'elal sermon was preuched to them by Hev. F. P. Do'y. fiKV. F. P. DUTY. He took for his text the words of Phil., 1.17: "1 am set for the defense of he gospel," and from them drew many Interesting and prolltable lessons, lie said In iuirt: Puul lived In a decidedly mllltnry age, and whenever lie wrote or spoke his lan guage abounded with allusions to the mlll taiy customs. Wlierever he went lie met a Roman soldier elad In a coat or mall, with helmet and shield, and alined with battle axe, swoid and spear, ready to bid defiance to his Iocs. A Roman soldier was set 01 stationed to defend the honor and piestlge of Home at whatever hazard or danger to himself. Alluding to the parting of a guard for defense. Paul like a true knight ot the ei oss ol Jesus Chi 1st that lie was fully alined and equipped ,0' the service of Ilia Miifter declines: "1 am set for the de fense ot the Gospel." lfow heroically he perl'oimed Ills tusk his works and history declare. As a worthy example of a true Christian knight, I want to hold up Paul that you may admlie and Imitate him. The teim knight belongs to the age or chivalry and was conteried as a mark ot distinction upon a soldier or aimed ser vant belonging to a eel tain rank. It was to defend the cause or religion at Jerusalem and to assist worthy biethren 111 distress that the order or St. John or Malta was Instituted In A. 1)., 1U1S. Its purpose was chatltahle and lellglous and the order shaied In the various fortunes of the crusaders. In Its benevolent mil lellglous character It continues to exist after a history ot more than Mjoyeais. or ganized at a period when the exigencies of the times created a demand for your woik In support of the church and when your hospitality was greatly needed your order did much to encourage and help your biethreii. . ' STILL IN TIIK KIKI.n. Now, after iOO years, we lind you still In the Held engaged In a work which, If conducted with a careful regard to the church and your professed principles, will gieatly tend to cement the bonds of brotherhood and assist the church to go out and rescue many who need assistance, You are a brotherhood Joined by a solemn comfort to practice belivolence toward a brother of your order, visiting him when sick, iclleving him when In want and comforting him when bereaved. All this you are taught to do In the Gospel of Jesuo Christ. I trust that the order of Malta may never forget Its origin, and remain steadfast to the church or Unrist and assist It in extending the Influence of the Protestant faith. My text calls attention to the derense of the Oospcl. It Is true we aie living at a time when peace at home and abioad sheds Its blessings upon our nation. Hut It is also true that a llerce conflict Is even now being waged which threatens libel ty, morality and the Christian reli gion In America. If the Gospel of Jesus Christ shall tri umph then liberty, morality and the Chris tian religion are secure. If the Gospel bo defeated then Infidelity, anarchy, supersti tion and pagnlsm will curse the land as the supremacy of the wretched Turk has cursed the Orient. The progress and hap piness of our race lies bound up In the cuccess of the Gospel of Christ. What Is the Gospel of which so much Is said? The word translated, Gospel signifies In the original, good tidings. It Is the cood 111 as of Salvation for man, conditioned upon the repentance of our sins, faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and le generation of the new blith through the Holy Ghost. It Is the ie elation of Go I made to men through Ills Son. Hut It means moie than this. It Is thp declaration of God's unalterable opposi tion to sin. He draws the line with great clearness In the Decalogue and prefaces all with "Thou shalt not." In the New Testament Jesus re-enacted and le Infoinied the law when He said thou shalt have the Lord thy God with all thy heart, etc." Thus the Gospel Is a direct, open proclamtlon of war against all kinds of sin everywhere. It Is not one kind or Gospel for the rich and another for the poor. Gambling Is gambling, no matter whether, you name It progressive euchre or poker. BENEFITS OF GOSPEL. The benellts conferred by this Gospel can never be fully estimated. It gave us the Pilgrim fatheis, who sought liberty of conscience. With them came a free and open lllble translated into the English language. Nevermore to be chained and withheld from the race to whom God gave It. Along with the Ulble came the Chris tian Sabbath, one of God's best gltts to man, a day for spiritual exercise and physical rest. Areal Christian Sabbath; not the seventh day Sabbath of the Jews with Its Judlzliig tendencies to deud works, but the Sabbath which commemo rutes the lesurrectlon of Christ to lite and to the activities of Christian work of that day. The Christian Sabbath Is Indispensable to the success of the Chris thin religion. Tho old seventh day will never do, and the Seventh Day worship ers ought to be convinced by the ever diminishing relative numbers of their faith, that God has set a silent curse 011 that day. Again, the Gospel sent to these shores the men who fought for and gained for us our civil anil religious liberties. This spirit of liberty and enlightenment has found its way Into the Institutions of the country und puved Ifio wuy to pow er and greatness. There Is 11 call for defenders of this Gospel and what It has given. 1 uin not an ularmlst, hut If you huve been Inclined to observe the recent past I am sure you will discover the footprints of the foe. Tho safe man to counsel with Is one who, viewing passing events with deep concern, asks and seeks an answer to the question, Where will the future tlnd us? and what will our condition be? A careful Intel est In the future would have u salutary Influence on the actions of the present. The enemies ot the Gospel uro In the ,1 s II 3k 4 land. It Is welt that we recognize thorn us enemies it ml be ready to meet thum as such. This Is a Chiistluii tuition, und whatever ur whoever would make It any thing else Is a foe to the nation, Among the chief foes of the Gospel In the woild 1 name four Ignorance, Monopoly, In temperance and Sabbath Deseciutlon. There are others, Of these named Ig norance has most to offer In Its defense. MONOPOLY HAS NO EXCCSK. For monopoly there Is no excuse but human and Satanic greed. There Is no Justice In the custom which enables a syndlcute of men sitting In a little olllcc In Wall stteet to advance the price of bread and other necessary articles or tood J11.U to add other millions to their Ill-gotten gains, For the great crime of liquor sell ing ther is only one purpose, anil that is to destioy the souls of men In a bottom less pit of eternal woe. . For the deliverance of the Sabbath from those who desecrate It, every true man should rise up. Thus 1 have mentioned four, hut they arc one, only one, though different sides of that many-sided thing called sill. There Is nothing wrong in this world but sin. I call upon you all to array your selves in defense ot the Gospel. 1 am aware that some of you, whllu Knights of Malta, may not be knights In the ser vice of Christ. Paul speaks as u soldier. How does a man become a soldier? Why, he enlists, I. e., volunteers, puts on the uni form, Is musteied In and drills or prac tices for sei vice, goes out on parade, obeys orders. The Knight of the Cross must be 110 traitor to his Lord. When the Itusslan army was besieging Pllnna some Turkish soldlets revealed the plan of Osman Pacha's proposed sortie against the Russians, the Russians were prepared for Hie attack and repulsed the Turks. The knight must not desert. Very many there are who Join the church and be come desetters or backsliders. The true klilght must be no coward. In battle the coward Is 11 hludiance, he re treats ami gives a bad example 10 oth-rs. The true soldier never fears the-foe. He stands like a Daniel alone among the lions or, like a David, runs, sling In hand, to met Goliath. He men of thought and know the right. He men ot conscience and feel the right. He men ot heart and dure to do the right, ti listing 111 Christ the glorious Captuln of our salvation. NABOTH AND AHAB. Dwelled I'pon by Itov. Dr. MeLood in His Sermon I.u-t Night. Hev. James MeLeod. D. D., In the First Presbyterian church lust nlslit, delivered another of his series of Sun day evening sermons on the "Prophets of Fire." His subject last night was "Naboth and Aluib, an Honest Peas ant and a Dishonest Kins." He took IiIm text from the words found In I Kings, xxhlU: "In the place where clogs licked the blood of Naboth, shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine." Dur ing his discourse he spoke lu part as follows: So spake KHJah to Ahab. They had met befoie during the famine and tu Curinel and at Jezrlel but this last meet ing between the prophet unci tile king brings Into view some notable characters, and it suggests some valuable lessons. A guilty king, an Infumous queen, a hum ble1 peasant, and a. gleat prophet are brought prominently belore us, und the sin of covelousness is sternly rebuked and severely punished. The story of Nubeth's murder Is a piti ful tale of falsehood and cruelty. lie had a vineyard adjoining the royal grounds In Jeziecl and the king coveted it and tiled to seciiie It either by excamblou or by purchase. Naboth ret used to part with It, not because of disloyalty to the king and not because ot any studied discour tesy; but he lefused the king's request on lellglous and patriotic grounds. He said: "Tile Lord forbid It me that I should give the Inheiitance ot my fathers unto thee." The .Mosaic law forbade such a transfer of pioperty as Ahab desired (Lev. xxv, I3-2S; Numb, xxxvl, 7), and hence Nabeth's explicit and emphatic refusal. Hut Ahab was not satisfied. He was angry and he "nursed his wrath to keep It warm." His Ivoiy palace gave htm no comfort, because he could not, also, own the poor man's cottage. He fretted, and worried, and soured and sulked, and refused to eat, and went to bed. What conduct for a king! Ills wife came to his rescue. She said: "Arise and eat bread and let thine heart be merry, 1 will give thee the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreellte." She kept her word. She planned the murder ol Naboth and she executed her plan. It was covetousness in respect or Ma hoth's vineyard that brought down upon Ahab the wrath of God. It Is an old Mil, and a deadly sin, and a sin that Is widely distributed. It led Ahab to sell himself to do evil. It led to murder. It has led to many a robbery and many u murder. It Is a sin that Is insidious In Its work ings. Unlawful desire Is covetousness, and covetousness is Idolatry. Who is free this sin In some foini or other? Ahab, and Aehau, and Marmun and Da vid yielded to it ill Its grosser forms. It breeds discontent. It is twin-born with envy, and envy begets cruelty. It Is the foe of philanthropy. If Ahab had been a true patriot, or a philanthropist, no would not have coveted Nuboth's prop erty. Covetousness lies at the root ot the liquor traflllc as exemplified In the liquor saloons. It was covetousness tha first opened them and It Is covetousness that keeps them open. It Is covetousness that Induces men to sell themselves to do evil. It Is hard to get rid ot this sin. It ie qulres continued watchfulness. It con quered Ahab and David and hosts of men In the past. It is exeiclslug a wide domin ion today. It is a deadly sin, but It need not prove fatal. There Is a Divine remedy for it. Repent of It; forsake It, and fol low Christ. He- Is able to save the chief of sinners. Hut this sin must be resist ed ohsta piinclpils. Resist beginnings, let not this sin have dominion over you. The prayer of the Hulmist should be on our lips frequently: "Seurch me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my thoughts, and see If there be any wicked way In me, and lead me in the way ever lasting.

THREE RAIDS SATURDAY NIQIIT. Twenty-five I'ursons Taken Into Cimtodyby tho Police.. There was quite as much commotion coiiipnintlvely speaking. In our dark and devious district Saturday night, as there was In New York'H "tender loin" on the occasion of the vecent wholesale raid cm the notorious New market. Three houses of a shady char acter were raided between the hours of 10 o'clock p. 111. and 2.110 a. 111. unci twenty-live prisoners as a consequence were compelled to contribute to Hie city treasury. The llrst place pulled was Nelly Hly's In Hnymond court on complaint of John T.uvlu, of Pittston, whose wife was housekeeper at the place. This raid was for the purpose of catching her, but was unsuccessful, although live other women and two men were arrested. They were all arraigned be fore Aldcrninn Millar and lined $." each. Aldeimnn Millar hud scarcely fin ished with the Illy case when a woman came to his olllce In tears and com plained of a wayward daughter whom she had just discovered was a. fre quenter of Mrs. Coblllii's house In Oak ford court. The aldermun Issued 11 warrant and had the place raided. Six women nnd three men came out of tho place. At 2.20 yesterday morning Patrolman John Molr heard cries of "Help! Mur der!"and the sounds of scullllng Issuing from LU Henry's house In Center street, between Pi 1111 and Franklin avenues. The place was raided. Five men and four women were captured. Five oth ers got away. One of the girls wui found crouching behind a chimney on the roof. It developed that 11 llerce fight was In progress and but for the timely ar rival of the police It might have been a sorry day for one A. P. Lambert, of the West Side. The eighteen persons caught in the last two raids were given a healing In police court yesterday morning by Al derman Millar. Mrs. Coburn was lined $ir: the Henry woman $20. and the oth ers $5 apiece. All but three of the men paid. The lines altogether amounted to $1:13. WE WANT 000D ROADS.
