There is much more manli-ueas in adhering to what we believe. We are not to afddate with thoso with whom" we differ. By so doing we ia a measure endorse pentimects we believe to be erroneous. But of course we allow a man may be a Christian ditier with us ia many ways." A running conversation was then carried on the questions being directed to the essayists about as follows Would you in elude Free Masonry under the head of societies antagonistic to Christianity?" "Most undoubtedly. I would so include every society which ignores Christ." "Since we should not tolerate error how shall we refute it, by preaching or "The Lutheran Church never proselyte, in the sense of that term.

GAS C02II'ETIXIOX. What the Xew Gas Company "Will Bo-. I'topian MauuCactuier Capital JLsbor -An Utid A few days ago mention was made of the fact that a company ia being formed for the purpose of manufacturing gas from water. From Mr. II.

M. Bennett, president of the Consolidated Gas Company, the following was learned concerning the enterprise "The ga3 is manufactured under what is known as the Lowe process and is made trora super-heated steam enriched by benzine or some other product of petroleum. The system has been in practical operation for five or six years. Ii is used by the Municipal' Gas Company of Kew York and there are companies now employing it in Baltimore, ITarrisbrag, Paferson, is. Manayuuk (one of the suburbs cf Philadelphia), and exo is being built at Chicago." "It should not be understood that because the gas is being made of water It costs nothing," said Mr.

Bennett. "The machinery required is very elaborate, complicated and costly. The water i3 superheated and formed into a fixed gas, so that it may be held in a retort, previous to being let into the pipes, it Laving been enriched, as stated, by some product of petroleum, I am told that the company proposes to purchase property from the Sheniey estato at the Point, and there erect Its works. Commodore Garrison, of Xew York, a maa worth about fifteen millions, I learn, is at tha head of it, Just how any cf the numerous companies for the manufacture of gas that have been -forming iu this city of late discovered a market here, howevsr added Mr. Bennett, "i3 something more than I can understand.

To-day gas ia cheaper in this city thaa any place in the civilized world with the single exception of London, where it is S)C cents (iu our money) per thousand feet Here it is one dollar. Comparatively it is cheaper here, for London is so thickly populated as to create a demand so much greater for the same area as to give them aa advantage beyond the diner -ence in price. However," he said "that, of course, is their business." HEBE'S TO CIS CHANCE. Au Ideal Employer Mora's the Pity, Ho I4se in exr Jersey. Hopkins, the millionaire metal founder at Park Pudge, liew Jersey, has fortified himself for all time atrainst the harrass- raents of strikes and ail the ills growing out of MfWeno8 lief ween employer and Hft M-her wa than any ct-ner like estabnshment in toe country.

He interests himseif in the home affairs of his men, and personallv encourages them iu savins and in building homes. Last year when meat and the necessaries went up advanced wages from the high notch at deratanding that they should come dowa when prices dropped. Every difieience between Mr. Hopkiris and his men ia settled by a confeior.ee and a frank expression of views; the proprietor finally rendered a decision, which tie urea respect and accent. Tbe most remarkable act of this ideal em ployer was the presentation of a life insurance policy to efich of bis tnen that their widows and children might be secure from want.

Mr. Hopkins' Utopian system may have more of philanthropy than cf business in it and there is po likelihood of its general adoption, but there is a lesson or two in it which It would not hurt some Pittsburgh employers to learn.

The subject for discussion at; the regular monthly meeting cf the Lutheran Ministe- rial Association yesterday was "Christian Toleration," Tub consideration of the subject wm introduced by an the Pev.

A. Wenael. a synopsis cf which is given: "There is, perhaps, no word that ia less understood and more frequently misinterpreted and misapplied than the word Iu the mouths of some it simply means iudiHereuoo to ail religious opinions and whilst others interpret it as if beliefs were of equal value, and therefore entiiled to the same consideration respect. Toleration may deflaed to mean the patient endurance of views differing from cur own, or forbearance with the belief of others, be they insligioaisfs, such as infidels and cr religionists other titan Christians, such as Jews, Mohammedans Gentiles. "Christianity ia emphatically and preeminently the religion of love.

IS was begotten of love- and it blessed aim is to communicate this love to the children of men. No one could possibly ftel a deeper concern ia the maintenance of the truth, and its ultimate triumph over error and unrighteousness, nor have a clearer concc-p-tioa of the iauispensibie necessity on the part of man of receiving this truth, if he weald be delivered from and the unutterable anguish cf the second death, than Christ, who died for our sinsand ross again for our justification, and yet he patiently endured liotoniy the unbelief, but even the scoffs and sneers, the insults and baiTetings, the fiendish persecution and ignominious death at tha bauds of his enemies. His disciples after him pursued the same line of conduct, in the same meek and spirit; for true faith always walketh by love. And Luther, our Luther, that chosen instrument of God, than whom not one of all Lis illustrious cotemporaaiea was favored with so clear an insight into the eablim.8 mysteries the kinzdora of Christ, its nature, its design and its methods, freely accorded to oth-rs the same liberty of conscience and speech he claimed fr himself and fur which he had "so violently contended. Iu sermon preached after his return to vTit-temburs.

In regard to. the adoption of vio lent a get of certain abases, he says; 'I those wno maintain that private masses ought to be ahoiir.hed, yet no one ought to be drag awl away from, them by mainTorce, but should be left to God. His word alone must be permitted to exert its influence, without our additions or works. Since ns wo cannot pour faith into the heart of aay One, no one omrht to drawn to it by main, force." He maintained that the, hfcurLs'of all men roust first be gained, and. that this is done by teaching God's word, proclaiming tho aud pointing out their errors.

"But all with-whom Christianity fcaa to deal ar. not utcbeHvrs vv men whose re- to be found nhe very ho.ocaoi the denominations, between whom exist many and irreconcilable. difTerenees, bcthia re-garl to doctrine and practice. What attitude are we commanded to maintain over tfTZrZ tCi Gospel accoi to St. Mark that on a certain occasion Joha, one of tLe disciples, came to the Lord' saying 'Master, we saw one casting out devils iu Thy name and he followed not us, and we forbade him because he followed nut ns.

John it seems entertained the by no means uncommon opinion, that because tha man cf whom he complained was not one of their number, that is, had not assoctateu ciinseu to t-uera as a di-scipie, or MUstaiced to them tha san relation which they sustained to each other, tberetore be isiust be silenced. Christ, however, differed from Lira, for ha replied, 'Forbid him not, adding as a reason. 'For there is no maa hich shad do a miracle in my came that can lightly M-eak evil of me. This reply, we think, points out clearly the usage ihoe are to receive from vs who do, not belong to our household of faith, or ra' her do not sub-eoiibe to the sama confession of faith ty which we are tuad.

IS very purchaser of one dollar's worth of goods or more was entitled to a ticket to the drawing. As usnai it wai surmised by somi that tho scheme was only an advertising dodge, and would iu all probability not be conducted in a legitimate way.

The doubts of their mspieioits were, howeter, dispelled yesterday, evening, per agreement at the boar of four o'clock the drawing began. Two well known and xepotabio geuUemea in the person of Mr. of the Leader said Fmanuel Schweizer, "of the Reformer, assisted by two blindfolded boys, conducted the drawing. An immense crowd bad congregated to fatness' the charit-; able event, The lucky number was drawn about forty minutes after ihe beginning and turned out to be iTo. 10,6:12.

The drawing wasfaiily and squarely conducted, and was admitted as such by ail present. The sgc-r crowd were dsirons cf kuowing who the lucky bolder was, but as previously announced, tho name will not ba made known until the day following the drawing, which will occur to-day. An hour later and a number of invited gusr proceeded to tha residence of Mr. Jacob Jlauff-manu, one cf the firm, to partake of a iiiost superb repast that had been -prepared for the ccc-afdeu. Some eighty people participated, composed of employes, imimata friends aud the representatives of ths press.

Suffice it ta say that the layout was superlative ia every probably never surpassed in this city, and seldom if ever equaled.

A CoMMEiiClAI. Gazette reporter Bbx4 upca Fifth aveuue Sunday evening while the church bells of the city ia varied tones rang out the solemn summons to the closing sermons of the year. The streets were filled with well and warmly dressed men ana women moving in seemly Sunday dignity la all directions in obedience to the call. A sense of complete self satisfaction seemed to mark the bearing of each and all, as though ia the thoughts suggested by the time there was no snggestioa cf anything left undone nothing to regret. With ihe reporter was a friend, who ia a melancholy humor moralized upoa this, wondering "How is it with tho poor tonight?" "It is a timely query," said the reporter.

I will go and Eee," and ia a few momenta he had left the tide of contented church goers and entering the Home Hotel on Daquesne Yt'ay requested of Mr. Charles. Forbes, assistant superintendent, the privilege of looking through the tramp department. "Certainly," said Mr. Forbes, "but perhaps some othor time you cculd see it to better advantage.

Just now the men have eaten their supper End are standing about in crowds." "It is them, more particularly, I wish to see," said the reporter. "Then come this way," and Mr. Forties led the way down a pair of stairs and the two stood in a room where three long tables bore evideace of a recent rneaL A pile of tin plates had been gathered at one end and fragments of bread were scattered about. In an adjoining room where was an immense cooking range aud a steam warming table, two gills were employed putting thintra to rights after the meals. The ascen of another pair of stairs discovered an apartment, narrow at one end and widening to the other.

A single gas jet relieved half of it of darkness. An immense stove which stood tha centre was, with tho exception of a few rude chairs, the only furnishment. Abous the stove were huddled one of those silent groups of wretched people that bespeaks the homeless outcast. Hard, cold, miserable faces dirty and unshaven; clothes that merely hung together, all forming a pitiable picture. "We keep a big fire here all the time," said Mr.

Forbes, "and on cold and rainy days such men as these who have no occupation come ia here for shelter. Often times the room is crowded." Tha yard and alley way by which the mea come ia from Eighth street was inspected and duriog All the time not one at the stove had changed his unstudied posture, made a sign or uttered a sound. The new' sleeping berths were next inspected. Clean nev boxes they are, one above another, large enough for one man to stretch out comfortably, and provided ith bedding and clothes. There are 4) of them, and the charts for sleeping there is ten cents per night.

The rooms are warmed by steam and appear quite comfortable. Out of this room Mr. Forbes stepped to the foot cf a stairway where a policeman especially employed was stationed and where was a window through which looked the face cf a young giih "Tho officer is here to sec that only those go up who purchase tickets and to prevent acy who are intoxicated whether they pay or not. The girl sells the tickets." baid Mr. Forbes.

Canvas hamniocks to the number of ninety are swung upon iron frames oa each side of the room. Between these seated upon chair? facing a stand at one end of tha room were about eighty men. It was a motley gathering. Most all of them of middle age and bearing marks of long acquaintance with the wrong sine ot ma.

come iew cr idem were washed clean and here and there among tbe scared faces was one that- locked as though oat cf place or in unaccustomed company. "Yes, it is a strange lot," said Mr. Forbes in answer to the reporter's remark. "Some of them live here; have been here since before my time, three years, snd bad they tha means to pay for b' tter hxlgirgs wo. li not leave.

P. Church. t-. IU K', cd -C-L aixi IT WAS A MEASURABLY "HAPPY NEW YEAS." Tho Public Events cf a Iocal Yesterday The News Boys' Dinner Public Feeds Scenes and Incidents. Should it so happen that any of that c'a53 of humanity which delights to look upon suflering and which gloats over tho misfortunes of a fellow being should find it difficult to procure enough amusement of this coaimendnbie nature, it would be Rarely safe to visit a large city upon a hodday.

Yesterday Pittsburgh woubi Lave ifurniahed any aruouat cf fun for the class referred to. Tlie populace was idle; the mills, tho factories and the stores were closed; and the reoule came out in droves. Tha snow under foot fast became there was notLing to amuss, nothing to interest, acd great, discontented crowds, composed of cothing-to-do, nowhere-to-go men, women and children, roamed the streets, tramping up ono thoroughfare only to.trcrnp down another, and never satisfied. The theatres and the museums did a rushing business. Good bills were on at ail the bouses, and a each Icarosnee audiences were in attendance, but thi3 would have been the case had the worst ef barn storicers occupied the boards.

People v. ho have money feel that, it is their duty to do something on a holiday. Tho snow, scant as it was. was a joy, alloyed alone by its slight proportions. To the your gor fry It furni-hed "slides" without end and theso pitfalls for the feet of the unwary were in every part of the city.

To those who were happy enough to own a eleigli, had brass enough to borrow a sleigh, or credit enough to hire a sleigh, the snow was a of beauty. There wa3 not more than one inch of it, but it was of the packing cider and held together nobly between, runner and road. Through the city streets there was consid-erabla stone grinding, but once upon the pa vero cuts of the Ei-it End the sleighing was excellent. Single and aoubie teams were out all day, and with the temperature comparatively comfortable, sleighing was an enjoyable pabtime. There were some runaways, a few tmasb resulting chiefly from the antipathy green horses have for bells, but no serious accidents wero reported to either life, limb or property.

That this was the case is net due to the careful watchfulness of those who own fast stock. When men draw the reins taught across the back of a flyer it is natural to let'ergo, and they went yesterday for all they were worth, A number of fme" races took place, souia narrow escapes were ex perienced by pedestrians, but that was all tho damage done by the breaking of an ordinance regulating travel on the public highways. In the matter of drinking strong drinks, the record of yesterday was very good, from an anti-temperance poirtt of view. In tho place there were pionty of balls, and the- money made by those who manage balls is gathered over the bar. It is not from the love of dancing, ex to promote that pleasant, healthful and harmless exercise that bails arts "kept;" balls are kept to sell beer, whicn makes money for tha various socials aud fislang cluhs and mysterious mysteries which keep them.

There -were plenty of them yesterday, the attendance was good and the Fals of beer was largo. Then, too. the saloons did a good business. Tho grand free launches o'f sour bread, hard bologna and strong cheese; were spread iu every eight by ton dojrgery and fusel oil In various disguises was in strong demand. There were drunks all around, UR-n, boys and an occasional woman, but it was Kew Years day, this ia the way to celebrate an American Kew Years day and what can be expected?

On New Year's Day, 1S39, in old Joe Pricker's restaurant, at that time situated iua cellar on Fitfh aveuue near ood street, Jtshnuy Pinec'ir sat down to dinner with rdneteeu newsboys as guests. That was all there were in th city, and to them a dinner of tha best in the house and all they could eat, was something that bad no precedent. Siucg then New Year's Day has never seen the newsboys of Pittsburgh hungry; their number increased as the city grW, but none wero refused a place at the bo.ord always spread on the first day of the yar. fa time the bootbhacks, few of whom do not sell papers on some occasions, -applied for invitations and got them, swelling the army of guests until a restaurant grew too email to hold them, one public bail afser another was used until City HaM, toe largest in the City, was settled uoou nd Pittccii's 1-' boys have become 5k.
