VERY OLD CHURCH. o^e of Historic Landmarks of "City of Brotherly Love.'' THE OLD SWEDES CHURCH which Was Constructed of Brick Brought 1'rom Sweden?It Was Built in 1700, and Dedicated the First Sunday After Trinity?Although It Has Been Be paired and Innovated, its unginai jfioa fias Eeen Preserved. co, c!al Dispatch to the Intelllgenoer. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 21.?Among tfi- many historic land-marks that point backward to the early settlement ,)( the "City of Brotherly Love," not the least In Interest Is that known as the "Old Swedes Church," located near the "William Penn house," almost or. the very banks of the Delaware. While William l enn's old residence has been p-rverted from Its original use as a home maker, to that of a home destroyer. a beer saloon being established in it. the site of the first Christian church in this colony has been sacredly preserved, and held to Its original u<e throughout the generations that have succeeded the early Swedes who fettled in the locality of Swanston, on the Delaware, where they erected a building for the worship of God simultaneously with the rude shelters In which they made homes for themselves in tnis t>i range lanu. sneering inr grounds through a hie I) Iron gateway over which is the inscription "Gloria Der A. D. 1700," the visitor realizes that he is in a commnuity, composed of the dead who lie in the well-kept, green and ivy covered graves, and the living who dwell In the homes that, together with the old brick church, form an enclosure in whose midst is the old grave* yard, still sacredly reverenced and most carefully preserved. It is a matter of great surprise that o little of the inside history of this early church and the body of men and women who comprise its membership has been preserved or written. And still more surprlflng that among the oldest citizens and the most intelligent, we found few who could give any information. except that "Old Swedes," a* it 1? familiarly called, is still standing. Indeed, we made repeated efforts More we could obtain directions as to the best car line to take to reach the spot. The afternoon that we visited this hallowed enclosure was bright and warm almost as a summer's day, and after leaving the car and turning Into the quiet little side street that led on to the graveyard, through which we reached ths church, we felt as though we had been suddenly transposed to a simple rural settlement, where a shelter from the hurly-burly of a noisy, bustling city life might be found In the Inviting rest and serene peace that pervaded the' surrounding atmosphere. And where above the echo of the disturbing hum of the outside world might be heard the still small voice, saying. "My peace I give unto you." The church, the rectory, the school buildings; the sexton's lodg^the tomb? of the all ant ones who have left their footprints upon the shores of time, all reemed to say, "Here peace hath made her abiding place." In 1624 A. D., December 2lst.Gustavus Adolphus, the champion of Protestant Europe, gave power to colonize in the new world. And in April. 1638. the first Swedish colony arrived on the western banks of the Delaware. The exact date of the first edifice for religious worship does not appear.but It is known that very soon after the colonists reach ed the banks of the Delaware, a structure was erecetd for the double purpose of a house of worship and a fort. The "Old Brock house" was superceded ir. 1646 A. D., when the wooden church a: Tenakong (Tlnlcum) was consecrated by Maglster Campanius, and used until 1700, when the church nowstanding was built and dedicated on the first Sunday after Trinity. The present edifice is built of brick brought from Sweden, and although the building has been renovated and kept in a perfect state of preservation, the original plan has bet?n preserved in every detail. We entered the church alone and so were enabled to enjoy the deathlike stillness and solemnity of th* atmosphere. The church is small but neat and attractive in its every appointment. The straight backed, wood"n seated news, though of recent date, ar?- modelled exactly art^r tne oiu. i n? Pulpit, the chancel railing and the pipe ' rican are perhaps the most modern feature of the whole Interior. Within the chancel stands the original baptismal font, sent to the old Block church, by the queen of Sweden. ThJ bowl. car? rd from a solid block of grey marble, rejts upon a tall pedestal, also of marble. Directly In front of the altar, and r.nder the organ gallery, two fheriblm? 3tretch their wings. These, ulearned, are us old as the foundation '>t the firs*. edifice built upon the present site. The Venltlan blinds that shade the windows were brought from the old 1 rid with the bricks In the building. T*r 11 r the pulpit, and under the aisles, repose the remains of the first ministers flr"l mlsionarles sert over by GusAdolphus to Christianise the n :\v HiTld. I'? the neat little study?the v.-stry of present church?are a number of ''' stlnc historic relics. A portrait f 'iustavus Adolphua with an auto'ri; h letter written In Swedish, hangs ' n the wall; also a naturalization Pr,i r written by William Penn, toy " r with the large seals?that vm r,rt? o?.l,. ,l,.?lf,S/.r_nnd th' 'r ulna! tin box In which th?* seals wer; A portrait of Jenny Llnd, tlv ' ll*h Nightingale," und a letter o?

I And now we must tread lightly, for J all around us He those who left home and loved ones in the Fatherland to endure the hardships, and encounter the perils of a new experience, where, amidst privation and trial, they might find freedom to worship God, to establish homes for themselves and little ones, and where they-were destined to "build" for posterity "batter than th*y knew." Among the many ivy-grown graves are old grey slabs and tombstone/, upon which the moss is still writing its indellible inscription, "Whatsoever thy hand flndeth to do/do it with all thy might, for in the grave whither thou goest, there Is neither cunning nor device." These dead sleep In their narrow beds waiting till the last trumpet shall sound, but verily .their works do follow them, to which this glorious republic bears testimony, In the brightest I civilisation that the world has ever KUUM U. Upon many of the tombstones, though somewhat obliterated by afc, the dates and inscriptions could easily be read, though the spelling and phraseology are peculiar?"Here lyeth The body of Peter The son of Andreas Sandel, minister of this church, who dyed April 21, A. D. 1708?2 yrs, 4 mos." On another this quaint legend is plainly legible: "Dear Friends, for me pray do not weep I am not dead but here do sleep Within this solid lump of clay Until the "reswilcuon" day And here indeed, I must remain. Till Christ shall raise me up again." Against the side wall of the church is a grey old slab that indicates that. the church has been built over the gravj, There is no Inscription visible upon this old stone, nothing hns survived the ravages of time,' but the Indentations very plainly visible of the lettering that has beer, entirely obliterated. My intelligent informant assured me that nothing can be ascertained of the history of this worn and marred old slab. But conjecture makes It centuries old, and that it has a history that dates back to an old grave in Sweden, whence the bones and stone were removed by loving hands, to be laid under the fresh turf and amid the newmade graves In this far-away home. Though I am nothing of a relic hunter, I could not resist the Inclination to pluck up a few roots of the luxurious ivy that grows about the base of this pathetic old tombstone, and send them to friends in Wheeling, with the hope that the sentiment of reverential awe that accompanies these Ivy rootc, may be transplanted to tha silent home at Greenwood, to take root, grow, and tenderly cmbrace the resting placet of i-nmnmhuPcH InVpd fltlPG We were especially Indebted to the courtesy of the present rector of "Old Swedes," ltev. Snyder B. Slmes, who has been the incumbent of the pastorate for thirty-one years. The old congregations of Swedes that succeeded one another from 1624 A. D., to 1832, when the last of the Swedish pastors died.have been replaced by a Protestant Episcopal congregation now numbering 300. There were not Swedes enough left in the locality to keep up the church, so It passed into the hands of the Episcopalians. who reverence the building because of Its history, and who carefully and tenderly watch over the graves of the honored dead?"Ev'n these bones from Insult to protect." M. S. H. FEEL THE CHANGE. Hundreds Voluntarily Endorse o Springfield, Ohio. Product A Statement by a Weil Known Citizen, Who Has Found Great Relief by Using It. The time has com'' when people in Wheeling feel t?e change. Many people in this city have given voluntary endorsement of the great change they have felt after uring Morrow's Kldne-olds; the people realize the good obtained by their use and give hearty expression of the aame.

We always like to give reference as to the merits of Morrow's Kld-ne-oIds, end this time r?fc*r you to Mr. William ftsln, who lives at o. 453 Market street. He aaya: "I was troubled for some time with a s"vpre and very sharp pain arrooa thsmall of my back Just over the kkJrry*. I became nervous and sleepless; my sleep was so broken that I would m*>r wut th* rrst that I should, and would get up feeling more tired than when I went to bod. I wan advised by my friends to try Sorrow's Kidnc-olds, and after securing some at Charleb It. Oortze's drug store and taking them according to directions I wa* greatly relieved.

Isaiah IX:2-7 Christ's Coming Foretold. am unr B|iinicu oiyie ot ncvrcn puco; the prophet throws himself beyond. In point of time, the event which he is describing. and speaks of it as having already occurred. He takes the mantle of night to represent the moral state of the people. They were groping in a deathly shadow. Leaders were as blind as the led. All was rayless, cheerless, hopeless. Suddenly, to the anointed vision of Israel's noble seer, there ! bursts through the leaden pall such a ! light as is never seen on land or sea. He is ready to cry. It is I "The Star, the Star of Bethlehem!" The great darkness is matched by a great light. It floods not the plains alone, but penetrates the deepest mora* chasms of earth. How must Isaiah's heart have glowed at such a goodly sight! He was in a rapture. Halielejah was on his lips! He sees a goodly company, an ever, increasing throng, who walk in this new light. Kingdoms of earth, islands of sea, are steadily merged into it. It spreads from the river to tne enas 01 the earth. And the joy of the throng keeps pace with Its ever-augmenting proportions. It Is Joy like that when after the heat and toll, the harvest is shouted home; or like that after battle, when victors divide spoil. And this deliverance from darkness ?this lifting of the yoke of sin, despair, and death?Is recognized by the prophet as supernatural and all divine. The earthly means of its accomplishment are as unequal as Gideon's lamps and pitchers against the grasshopper multitudes of Midianiteii and Amalekltes. The earthly, historic means of victory is always through the awful din and ?npn:ir? nf hnttta. But here is a weap onless victory. In which the very Instruments of human warfare, so far from being used, shall be burned up or beaten into Implements of husbandry. And all this because the Babe is born In Bethlehem. Born to us?to humanity. The badge of universal spiritual sovereignty shall lie upon His shoulders. Kingdoms of earth, without of | necessity losing their identity, shall become His kingdoms. The prophet-herald announces His I regal titles. How dim the appellations of royalty grow In comparison to His lustrous names! Wonderful?The mystery of whose nature Is the amazement of angels, men and demons. Counselor ?The unerring, unfailing guide in truth and duty; not of the few, but of the race. The Mighty God?the very per_ son of the Omnipotent Dlety. The | Father of Eternity, and the peaceful and peace-producing Prince. To One , who bears such titles we may well bow 1 and exclaim. My Lord! My God! The spiritual dominion of this loyalty and Divine Sovereign, and its gracious concomitant* of assurance to the indl- j vidual and quietness to the multitude, j shall unceasingly cover larger areas and Include more people. The pledge of this is the moral earn- ' estness of the glorious Being who stooped to the incarnation, the cross, the j tomb. Jesus is in dead earnest to make j His mediatorial work a triumphant sue- | ce?3. And all the armies of the sky j are obedient at His slightest beck. The Teacher's Lantern. Philosophy had proven an egregious I faHure. Wisdom couid not know God i The sage could not save the people who i lived on the same street with him, let i alone the whole mass Culture was at one end of the beam and morals at the j other; as culture rose, morals sank. Roman law, Greek refinement, ha*l J proved equally impotent'to save. It seemed as If the advent was delayed In order that the Inefficiency of all human | expedients might be thoroughly demon- ; strated. A fine illustration, this, of the nature, 1 force, and integrity .of prophecy. Seven centrales before the Advent, Isaiah graphically describes what the moral i condition of the race shall be at that epoch. He describes the sudden entrance of a new corrective force, unlike any which had ever been used before; ' a weaponless but victorious kingdom. He becomes more explicit. He defines ' the person of the King, enumerates His ! titles, describes the spread and perpe- j tuity of His kingdom. FORTY years it has stood the test. Connoisseurs pronounee it the best.

Prices yielded without any very active resistance, but there were no signs of panic and the liquidation was conducted in an orderly manner. The principal causes of weakness were evidently not local and seemed to be largely due to the condition of affairs in Boston. The closing of the Globe National bank there was the cause of widespread uneasiness and brought large offerings on the New York market for the favorite Boston stocks. Sugar was the most conspicuous example, as is shown by its extreme decline of seven points. This stock was under very heavy pressure all day on rumors of a continuation of the trade war, us well as on the forced selling for Boston account. Burlington. Federal Steel and Atchison preferred were also sold from Boston. London was a large seller of stocks In this market and the depression there exercised a large sentimental Influence. The rise in the private discount rate and th<; fears of trouble at the settlement now Imminent ar* causes of apprehension. Some of the favorite International stocks were acutely depressed from time to time, notably New York Central. St. Paul. Baltimore & Ohio preferred, Missouri Pacific, Heading first preferred and Denver & Rio Grande preferred. The boars were energetic operators all day and supplemented their efforts by the circulation of some extravagant rumors regarding the financial condition of various houses and properties. The effect on some of the trust companies was to Induce large calling of loans as a measure of precaution against any extraordinary demands that might be made upon them. The rumor mongering of the bears was so fin grant In some cases as to cause the discussion by some of those who were the greatest sufferera of legal measures directed against the offenders. During the last hour the bears were very large , buyers to cover short contracts and the | efTect on prices was seen In recoveries running all the way from 1 to 5 points In the principal railroads and Industrials. As a result net losses were reduced within a range of three points, except In a few inconspicuous stocks, which had not moved previously during the week. A number of stocks, including those which have suffered most severely during the week, rose slightly I above last night's level. The rate for money flurried at one time to 8 per cent, but ruled for the most part at 6 per cent or below. Estimates of to-morrow's bank statement are all at sen, owing to the extraordinary conditions that have prevailed. The banks have gained on the regular Interior movement, but the extraordinary demand from Boston has offset that, so that the net loss on the Interior movement Is about *1,300.000. On sub-treasury operations they have gained about $3,000,000. The amount of gold' exports | which will figure in the statement, in| eluding last Saturday's shipments. Is about S3.000.000 This would indicate a net Iosf In f-ash on all accounts of about J 51.000.000. No one ventures an estimate of what the loan changes may be. | Bonds were weak In sympathy with | stocks, the speculative Issues showing ! some fharp declines. Total sales par ; value. $2,590,000.

Shortly after the market went under puts. May to 69%c,where it steadied on buying against privileges and covering by shorts who wished to even up for the holidays. This influence advanced the price. May closing a shade under the high point of the day, 69&c, and He under yesterday, at 69*&<369%c; clearances at the seaboard in wheat and flour were equal to 155.000 bushels. Primary receipts were 504,200 bushels, compared with 1,j 050,500 last year. Local receipts were 61 cars, 35 of which were of contract [ grade.

Provisions early yielded a bit in sympathy with grain, but rallied later 1 on buying by packers, who have been sellers recently and bought to-day presumably to cover over the holidays, during which period hog receipts are expected to be light.
