performance, and has hitherto been pre

Chaplain McCnbe disappointed a
large congregation ut Elm Park church
yesterday morning. Rev. W. II. Pearce
received the following disputed on Sat
urday night; "Snowed in on Jersey
coust; cannot reach Scranton; do what
you can."
Dr. IVarco explained that they would
endeavor to liuiko iirraiiKeincnts for a
visit from Chaplain -UcCuho in tlio near
future. The reverend Kentleman
preached un excellent sermon from
Esther, lv., H, during which ho re
ma iked:
"Let me lead nt once to the subject
by saying that God in Ills providence
has accorded to his believing children
of today the supreme opportunity or
clfance for the evangelization of the
whole world. Out of the soil of the
troubled centuries no other such aug
ustly opportune period hns come nud,
If seized upon by the New Testament
standard of liberty with consecrated
zeal, the evangelization of the world's,
continents, with their enslaved and be
nighted millions, would speedily be a
realized fact, und the long dirge of the
world's lamentations end in tho tri
umphal songs of redeemed empires.
"The old potter of Antwerp had toiled
through tile long years and at great
expense and sacrifice to produce u cer
tain gloss upon his wares. Several
times he had approached very near tu
it. but failed, and in these approaches
he had spent nil of the earnings of his
life and had reduced himself again and
again to extreme poverty. He thought
that lie would make one more trial, for
well he knew that If he succeeded lie
would be enriched with abundance nnd
greatly honored. For this last trial
the ware was more carefully prepared
and the kiln heated, but just ut the
moment when he thought that tho long-
desired gloss was ubout to come upon
the ware, the fuel for the kiln gave out.
It was all that he had, but feeling that
the opportune moment of his life had
come, he seized upon his tallies, chairs
and bedsteads and made fuel of these.
The gloss came upon the pottery
smooth as Ivory and with the luster of
pearl and from that hour he was en
riched and his fame assured.
The Time lias ( oino.
"Beloved, from out of the weary,
waiting ages, the opportune time has
surely come for the evangelization of
the whole world every barrier down
and every door wide open. Since
this century began, a golden net-work
glistening with heavenly dewn has been
extending from the grout centers of
Christendom with lint's radiating in
every direction and cross lines connect
ing until this great globe Itself is gir
dled and enclosed and the most distant
lands brought within easy and speedy
reach of God's word.
"If tho disciples of the Lord Jesus
Christ in this auspicious period will
only awake and bestir themselves; If
they will only intensify the forces now
nt work; If they will only push with a
holier, enthusiasm, with tin enlarged
faith and personal consecration, along
all the lines that nre now brightening
toward the millennium, nnd, If they.liko
the Antwerp potter, will only feed, at
whatever loss of treasure or service,
the flames of the churches already kin
dled, until they glow with white heat,
then Ihe early tomorrow would brighten
Into the splendor of a world brought
back to God, and everywhere over earth
and spa and along the paths of men
would be beard sounding like the full
toned thunders, of heaven and singing
In grand and universal harmony 'The
kingdoms of this earth have become the
kingdoms of our Iird and Ills Christ.'
"From -the way some ministers nnd
people talk ubout missionary move
ments and achievements you would
think thnt the evcnagellzatlon and con
vet slop of the world is going on so rap
Idly that we might expect nt any mo
ment to hear the glad shouts of Its
ul tor clisenthrtilment from the darkness
and power of sin.
"I'.ut we need to penetrute this decep
tive halo of this mere enthusiasm and
look at the great bald facts, that like
the crags of a rugged, lonely motinlnln
left their forms fur above and cast
their deep shadows on the shining
plains below.
Comparison of Numbers.
"Only about 8,000 missionaries men
and women In all the heathen world
today, and this small number are
ugainst one billion and flvo Imndred
million who know but little of Christ,
nnd must be evangelized before, the
world's twilight brightens Into lis lat
ter day glory. Forty millions of Pro
rstnnt church members today glv-e less
than $12,000,000 a year fur this great
work of human redemption. Eight
thousand rnlslsnnnrlcn nnd S12.000.000 Is
all the response that the whole church
of Christ Is miikmR today to the bitter
cry of the billion and live hundred mil
lions of shackled human souls.
"Is this response that the church Is
making adequate? Does It meet the
loud cryliur nnd Imperative need, and
Is It keeping pace wll.li tho spirit of the
nge? Nay, nay. A radical change
must speedily come. A more aggres
sive movement must be made. Minis
ters must glow with more ardor toward
this work of missions nnd the Inlty of
he church, facing tho bright faot that
no outlay of men, money and means
ever brought returns so rich and rapid
as when devoted to missions, must be
persuaded by the argument nnd elo
quence of this fuct as well us by their
personal obligation to God, whose loved
and trusted stewards they ore, to make
contributions com meiistt rule to the
needs of the rapidly ripening harvest
fields."

HOMi; SALOON IDKA.
Practical Sermon by Uov. Charles I'.. Hob
iiison l ast I. veiling llased I pon nil I -ccrpt
from a Tribune I dllorial.
Rev. Charles E. Robinson delivered a
practical und logical sermon at the
Second Presbyterian church last i-ven-on
"The Home Saloon Idea," busing his
remarks upon the following excerpt
from The Tribune of Feb. 5; being the
sentiments of a young Scruntonlaii,
which were re-produced In nil editorial
In the Issue of that date:
"The foregoing recalls to mind a con
versation recently had by the writer
of this with n young Scrantonian who
expressed much the name Idea when he
said: 'I go tu saloons. Why? He
cause I huve no other place to go tu,
wherein I have the same freedom and
meet with the fianie companionship. I
am not married, I have no home, and
no present likelihood of one. In day
time I work; but at night it is almost
like being in u prison tu sit solitary
wise In my little, third story room.
When I go nut, I drift into .well-kept
saloons for the reason that there Is,
in Herantun, so fur as I know, -no better
loaiiing plnoe olferlng equal facilities
for conversation, smoking, u.nd tem
perate Indulgence In food or drink.' '
Dr. Robinson discussed the excerpt
in a terse and pithy manner und met
the arguments of the young Scranton
ian directly with experiences of persons
he had known, and dilated upon the
evil results of their following upon the
methods referred to.
With regard to the argument that a
young man would patronize a saloon
because of the freedom obtained, b
gave Instance!! to show that the saloons
gave unlimited freedom for a down
ward course, but no freedom for an up
ward course. In Christian communities
there was a restraint to the downward
course, while there was unlimited fret
limn upward. The freedom of suloutis
was downward until they who availed
themselves of it were ultimately shut
tip in bell. The freedom of Christian
communities Impelled towards heaven
Such companionship was an argu
ment which Dr. Robinson treated with
scathing ridicule and argued that such
companions were habltulos of slums
and gambling hells and saloons "siik
by side. such "companions were
found In the penitentiary, stute prisons
and they were to be found In hell.
The reference of the young man to
the fact that he was "not married
elicited tho ejaculation of "thank God"
from the preuclier, who. In gruphU
terms, depicted the wife and children
of a drunken husband at midnight.
searching the saloons with shume, an
guish and humiliation shown on their
faces.
Ho also replied to the argument of the
young man that he had "no home," and
replied that lie would venture to sa7
that ho would have no homo, and prob-
ablyinashort time would have no em
ployment. He also ridiculed the wall
of young men who complained: "In
day time I work, but at night It Is ol
most like being in a prison to sit soli
tury wise In my little Uilrd story room.'
In replying he referred to the many
men who, before the organization of the
Albright library or Young Men's Chris
tlan association, had progressed In their
solitary rooms and lived noble lives
under the tsiinio circumstances. This
was the sin of Relf-indulgence. and was
a rotten spot In the character of the
young man who uttered the words.
Dr. Robinson emphasized the fnc
that he did not know the name of the
young man who spoke the words, am
his natnewas not published In the news
paper, but he replied tu the sentiments
for the benefit of liny young man who
might be disposed to entertain similar
thoughts.

If a merchant or a banker had a busi

Would probably dispose of It. If he con

be because he had some good reason
for his action. These observations, sug-
tfvst a comment on the finances of the

ciation. 1 1 costs between $8,000 und
$11,000 a year to conduct the association

that there Is some good reason fur main
taining such tin Institution tit so great
a loss.
Weighty Tacts Concisely Staled.
There are reasons offered for this
condition which will be readily under
stood as follows: First, because u very
important and very expensive part of
lis work, I.e., reading room,' employ
ment bureau, boarding house , register,
gospel met tings, song services, etc., Is
free to ull men; second, because the
membership fee is put at less than half
the actual cost of privileges provided In

not afford tu pay club rat 's for member
ship privileges, and us a r -suit of this
an examination of the membership rec
ord shows that to per cent, of mem
bers ure mechanics, 10 per cent, t-b-rlis,
14 per cent, merchants and business
men, 13 per cent, professional men, 11
per cent, students; third, because the
association in its efforts to reach men
must compete with evil resorts which
lavish money in glided attractions re
gardless of expenditure. Thus It can
not afford to economize on light, on
reading matter, on music, etc., but must
make Its building homelike, attractive
and interesting.
