That Is the reason why "A Bunch of

and excitement. There Is a roar of
laughter from the rise to the fall of the
curtain. Not the kind of laughter that

Skinner in n New Role.
One of .the most Interesting plays
now before the public Is "Villon, the

of Its presentation, Mr. Skinner has
made a number or changes wnicn ma
terlally quicken the action of the play
and strengthen Its climaxes. Before its
production a new play Is almost an un
known quantity, but the enthusiasm
with which the audiences have received
everywhere "Villon, the Vagabond,"
has convinced Mr. Skinner that his
play is as great a success from a box
office standpoint as it Is artistically.
The coming engagement of Otis Skin

SUNDAY IN THE CHURCHES
Happenings of Interest to Church-J
Going and Other People.
POR WEAK-KXCED CHRISTIANS
Was Directed the Sermon of Rev. E. L.
Miller in Trinity Lntheraa Church.
Present Day Calls for the Coor
ace of Peter and John.
T?- Trinifw Lutheran church, last
night, the pastor, Rev. Edwin Lunn
Miller, preached a sermon calculated to
Inspire weak-kneed Christians with the
boldness necessary to present truth, as
duty demands, however distasteful it
may be. The tendency, too often mani
fest among professing adherents to the
teachings of Jesus, to te coniormea
rather to this world than transformed
by the renewing of the mind was se
verely criticized.
Mr. Miller took for his text Acts,
lv:13: "Now when they saw the bold
ness of Peter and John, a.id perceived
that they were unlearned and ignorant
men, they marvelled; and took knowl
edge of them that they had been with
Jesus." He said:
Pftor'a nrcachlnc. on this occasion, was
suddenly interrupted by his arrest. The
Levllic-Hl temple tfliaiu, wnose uuiy n wu
tn nrexHrvn order in the ttmole courts ill
those troublous times, and the Sadducees,
laid hands on the preacher and his asso
ciate, John, and cast them into prison.
Next day thfy were brought before the
Sanhedrim and threatened with further
punishment if they persisted in teachin.it
their obnoxluus doctrines. But, in the
very presence of Annas end Caiaphas, who
took Dart in Christ's mock triul. they pro
claimed the crucified Christ, while before
them all was the evidence of 11!b power
in the person of the healed lame man.
This is the beginning of the history of
persecution for teaching the Christian
taitn. mo last cnapter will not ue writ
ten while, the world stamls. . These mn,
Peter and John, are shining example of
conduct in tuch trying times. Let us
stuuv me r DOitneis: . .
First The nu'ture and manifestation of
their bolunees.
Second The source ot their boldness.
Third The good results of their bold
ness.
The Disciples' Characteristics.
The reference here is primarily to their
boldness of speech, their conlldence and
freedom from embarrassmnt. This qual
ity was found here in men who lacked
rabbinical culture and theological train
ing. But boldness of speech was prompt
ed by boldness of spirit. And yet they
did not lack charity and moderation. They
were not rude .and offensive. Thounh
Peter was interrupted in his sermon he
was not abusive; though he was put into
prison, he did not struggle or call on the
5,000 disciples for protection. And though
commanded not to teach he refuses to
comply in courteous language. The appli
cations ore obvious.
Peter's boldness manifested Itself by his
preaching the truth publicly, though
knowing such a course would arouse hos
tility; by testifying for Christ before the
Sanhedrim, and by deciding to obey God
rather than man. The Levltes and Saddu
cees ore among us still. Lcvltlsm is mani
fested wherever the arrogant claim is made
to the sole right to teach and to preach,
l.evltlsm Is religious Intolerance wherever
It Is found, it declares: "We only are
right; all others must give way to us."
The Sadducees represent the followers of
rationalistic unbelief. They say: "There
Is no hereafter; what use la there for the
church!" But Peter still preached, and so
must we. May we be as nobly bold!
When the people demand a theologlc plat
form whereon the world, the flesh and the
devil can stand, there Is need of boldness
to preach repentanco unto salvation.
Although Peter might have reasoned
that it was useless to preach Christ to the
Sanhedrim which crucllied Him, and
might have argued that it was folly thus
to risk his life, yet he feels called to
speak, and leaves the matter of his safety
in the hands of Him who commissioned
him to proclaim the truth. Does not his
conduct put to shme the cowardice we
all know whero t find! Peter found pol
icy and duty on this occasion conflicting
nevertheless he was not client, as he
might have been, with plausible excuse.
Luther's Defence of the Truth.
There was another, later In the history
of the church, from whom a retraetlon of
offensive doctrine was likewise demanded.
It was Luther when he stood In defense
of the truth before the unrelenting repre
sentatives of papal power at Worms. In
reply to the demand for a retraction he
replied in the never to be forgotten words:
"I will give an answer that has neither
horns nor teeth; unless he would be re
futed by evidence of the Holy Scripture,
or by sound, clear argument, his con
science would be bound by the words of
God. Hero I stand, I cannot do other
wise. God help me, amen!"
Peter and John, it Is said, "had been
with Jesus;" and In the eighth verse we
read that they were filliM with the Holy
Ghost. And so all Christian heroism
.comes, from communion with God. and Is
a gift of the holy spirit. By learning from
Christ, studying God's word, communing
with Him in prayer, receiving nis sacru
msnn. thus do we make channels for the
operations of the holy spirit. He still
guides us aright In all straits, and gives
strength in the day of trial.
In verses rour ana twenty-one we unci
what effect the apostles' boldness had on
the general public. It enkindled faith and
made It Impossible for' the Sanhedrim to
carry out Us wicked designs.
The eye of the world Is still upon every
disciple of Christ. Persecution hardily
endured moves the world to wonder, often
to believe. It is a means of preaching
Christ, and that Is esteemed the true
Christian's hlghestambltion.
How to Win the EncmVa Rcspeet.
Tt Is true that the Sanhedrim were not
converted by the apostles' ooiuness. yei

casioned It. They were so merciless as to
be concerned only about means to stop
the mouths ot tnese preacners; ana yei, in

fond, and may even De nearmy ais mea,
still he wins even among his enemies a
certain honor.
The effect of the remarkable courage of
these men, Peter and John, Is especially
manifest in the church itself. The mem
bers were knit closer together by the
bonds or love and sympathy. Tne cnurcn
rieveloned the suirlt of prayer and wrought
the conviction that opposition to their
work was futile because God was with
them. The ascended Lord had kept His
word; He did not leave them comfortless.
Brethren, remember that Christ's doc
trines are now assaiiea, mis teacnings
scoffed at, His ability to save denied. You
call yourselves His disciples. If you are,
you are also His defenders. The world
dare no more persecute as In those days.
but It has the same malicious spirit
against Christ and His followers. It will
ridicule you, it will revile you, it will say
all -manner of evil against you. The very
things which you do out of love to God
and man are wilfully misrepresented. But
remember that Christ Is with you as He

SERMON TO YOUNG MEN.
Delivered by Rev. Dr. MeLeod la the
First Presbyterian Church.;
The Rev. Dr. MeLeod preached a
thoughtful sermon yesterday morning;
In the First Presbyterian church on
"Adrift and Anchored." It was a ser
mon Intended particularly for young;
men. the speaker taking his text from
Acts. 27:16, and Hebrews, 6:19. During;
his discourse Dr. MeLeod spoke as fol
lows:
The first of. these texts may be used by
way of accommodation. That ship drift
ing up and down in Adrla Is a auaireatlva
Slcture. The way she battled from day to
ay against adverse winds; the loss of her
cargo, her helplessness In the midst of the
tempest; the hopelessness of her crew, and
her final wreck and ruin all this Is gra
phically described. She had on board 278
souls, and only one of them was calm and
courageous and certain of his safety. Paul
knew that the ship would be lost, but he
also knew that he and his fellow-passengers
and fellow-prisoners would 'safely
reach the shore. He know more for he
knew that at whatever tune and In what
ever way death should meet him. it would
And him ready. He knew that hie eoul
was safe: that it was well anchored; that
his anchor was sure and steadfast, . and
that clinging to the Rock of Ages, It
would hold him fast unUl he reached, the
haven of eternal rest.
Like that ship In the Adrla there are
multitudes drifting on the treacherous sea
of time. They are the sport of the ele
ments. They have no settled aim or pur
pose In lite. They just drift hither and
thither with the changing currents and
the shifting winds. It la their fault as
their misfortune that they are In such a
condition. An anchor both sure and
steadfast is within the reach of each, and.
therefore. If they drift Into destruction
they have only themselves to blame.
Cause of Tbls Drifting.
What Is the cause ot all this drifting?
Bad habits have much -to do with It. The
power of habit is prodigious. Young men
never drift into good habits. Good habits
need cultivation. They require thought,
energy, self-control. The habits of obedi
ence, of prayer, of Bible study, of Sub
bath observance, of family worship, of
reverence for God's name and for God's
house, and for holy ordinances these are
habits into which young people do not
drift.
It Is well to form such habits, because
It requires some effort to give them up.
The habit of prayer a habit learned, per
haps, at a mother's knee has kept many
a young man from drifting Into the whirl
pool of sin. The memory of home, of the
family altar and parental love, and pray
ers and tears, has restrained many a
youth, and It has been to him a. mighty
shield in the hour of strong temptation.
It has been as a sure and steadfast anchor
which held him fast, and which kept him
from drifting into the snare of the devil.
Hut human nature has more nfllnlty for
evil than for good. Hence bud habits are
easier to acquire and harder to abandon
than good habits.' It Is very easy to drift
into bad habits. Many have done so
thoughtlessly; but, by frequent Indulg
ence, the bad habit became a second na
ture, and the rough forces of evil became
a very Euroelydon before which they
drifted to destruction.
Such though tiess kouIs are far too nu
merous. They forsret that the descent to
Avernus Is easy. At first the river of their
pleasures seoms calm and harmless, and
the prospect ef a delightful voyage was
ail that one could dsn I re. And, so, on they
drift, querllng their wine und singing
their songs, heedless of the fact that the
rapids were below. TfsodRh warned again
and again, on they went, saying to tlium-fL-le.i.
we can turn book any tlmi we
please; we are in no dinger. Hut ut last,
when it was too lute. I hey realized their
danger. They wore caught in tne rapuis,
and, with a shriek, they went over the
cataract and sunk into the deep aDygs;
they drifted to destruction.
What the Young .Men 9ny.
We can nlve un our evil ways when we
choose, says theso young friends. But
they cannot, or, at least, they will not.
Evil habits are alluring, deceptive, ruin
ous. Those who are led captive by the
devil may try to throw out an anchor to
windward, they may try to lighten tne
shin, thev mnv throw overboard her
cargo and for tackling, they may under-
gird her, and tnrow out ancnors tore ana
aft; but all their efforts will be useless.
Their anchor will drag, tho current Is too
swift and the winds are too tempestuous.
Euroeiydon has struck them; they have
made shipwreck of the faith and they
know It. They would heed no warning;
they would not listen to any entreaty.
When It was too late they wished for the
day for the day of Innocence, for the day
when the light and love of a Christian
home shone upon them; for tho day when
they might retrace their steps and aban
don their sin and folly but that wlshed
for day Is gone. They are in the whirl
pool; it is too late; they are a total wreck.
A taise me is cioseiy reiatea 10 a luise
fath. We are livlna In an age when many
are drifting out upon the treacherous sea
of speculation. I do not mean speculation
In the shape of putting up margins or
gambling in stocks though that is a great
evil. I mean, rather, the drift of thought
In respect of philosophy, and morals, and
rellnlon. Doirmatle theolocv In some
quarters Is at a discount, while specula
tive theology is lar ueyonti par; notning is
settled. The Bible doctrine of sin, of our
Lord's advent, of repentance, of pardon.
of Christ's atonement these old and set
tled doctrines of Christtunlty, are, in the
minds of some folks all adrift. The last
novel, or magazine article, or the latest
agnostic squib In the newspaper, or the
lust conversation with some smart and
original (?) thinker, has set this one or
that one adrift, and he does not know
what to believe, if sucn a young man
would only read hi Bible with half tho
care he reads its critics, he would not be
drirtlng. His faith would be settled; he
would not become the sport of every
speculative Euroelydon that blew upon
him.
Do Not Object to Speculation.
No sensible person objects to specula
tion, however bold and daring it be, If It
does not Interfere with fundamental and
essential truth. Hut some thlnas are set
tled, and the speculator in divinity, wno
tries to unsettle tnem, is guilty or a crime
against his fellows, and of high treason
against Almighty God. And yet there are
those who dare to enter the court of con
science to rob It of Its divine will and of
Its divine virtues. Those branches of the
Bible tree that are beyond the reach of
their little understanding they cut off.
They have such confidence In themselves.
and such conceit, that they pull out tholr
watches to correct tne sun.
They Juggle with etymology. Thoy are
adepts in vapery verbiage. They live In a
murxy atmospnere; a inna or mists.
Hence the difficulty of meetlna them in
debate. You cannot wrestle with a vapory
speculation any more than you can wrestle
with a shadow or with moonshine. You
cannot reply intelligibly to that which Is
unintelligible. Achilles could drive back
Trojan foemen, and Hercules could slay
the ruemean lion; but "the spear or
Achilles could not draw blood from a
shadow, nor could the club of Hercules
strike down a brainless ghost.
Those who leave the safe moorings of
reveaieu trutn, ana wno go out to sea un
der the guidance of speculative caDtalns.
need not wonder If they find themselves
drifting upon the rocks and quicksands of
doubt and despair; nor need they wonder
if their drifting should be the occasion of
infinite and perpetual regret and woe.
But is mere any way 01 escape? can
this drifting be stopped? Yes. Turn rlaht
about; port your helm; change your
course; steer tor tne port or peace, ur, ir
you must wan until ine storm ceaaes,
throw out God's anchor. That will hold.
No lip is safe from drifting that has not
In it true religion, and no religion is true
that has not Jesus Christ In it as Its sum
and substance, its center and Its all.
Thoso Who Are Safe.
But those who trust In Him are safe.
That anchor holds which hoDe we have
as an anchor of the soul, sure and stead
fast. Those who use this anchor are not
carried about by every wind of doctrine.
No Euroelydon, however fierce or fearful,
can harm them, for their life la hid with
Christ In God, and where He is there shall
they be also.
EPISCOPAL SERVICE.
Rev. Rogers Israel and Fall Vested Choir
of St. Luke's Participated in the Y. M,
C. A.'s Opening Auditorium Service,
The full evening prayer and service
of the Episcopal church was conducted
by Rev. Rogers Israel, of St. Luke's,
in the Young Men s Christian axsocia
tion auditorium yesterday afternoon,
beginning at 3.45 o'clock. The vested
boy choir of St. Luke's participated.
The audience was composed exclusively
of men and boys arvl numbered over
200. President A. w. Dickson and Gen
eral Secretary Many, of the association,
occupied the stage with Mr. Israel and
the choir.
Mr. Israel preached from , the rrt
found in Romans, xlll, 6, "To be car
nally minded Is death; but to be spirit
ually minded is life and peace." The
sermon was an unconventional, simple
and energetic plea for correct
living. He pointed out to the
young men the pitfalls of temp
tatlon and showed them the
brighter, better things that went with a
life of rectitude. He urged them above
all to be honest of heart and manly
without being prudish. The sermon
as a whole was a plain and concise
argument for robust spiritual manhood.
During the service were sung "The
Ron of God uoes rortn to war;
"Awake My Soul, Stretch . Every
Nerve," "All Hall the Power of Jaeus
Name!" and "Ten Thousand Times Ten
Thousand." Printed leaflets of the
service were distributed through the
audience. The young men and boys en
tered into the full spirit of the occa
slon which was an auspicious opening
of the association's winter auditorium
services.
PENN AVENUE BAPTISTS.
presetted to by (sr. Charles T. Mortal, a
Philadelphia Divine. -
' Rev. Charles T. Morgan, pastor of
the Spring ' uarden Street Baptist
church, preached morning and tvenlng
vesterdav In the Penn avenue Baptist
church. At each service the large audi
torium was filled by a delighted congre
gation that was impressed witn ur.
Morgan's sound thought, magnetism
and fluency.
The morning sermon was from
Psalms. 87:4-7: "Delight thyself also In
the Lord and He shall give thee tne
desires of thino heart" " Fret
not thyself because of him who pros-
pereth In his way. because of the man
who brlngeth wicked devices to pass."
The speaker aimed to Impress his hear
ers that recourse to the Lord and study
of His word would result in comfort
and beauty sufficient to outweigh world
ly tils.
His night's sermon was from He
brews, xx :9: "But we see Jesus, who
was made a little lower than the angels
for the suffering of death, crowned with
glory and honor; that he by the grace
of God should taste death for every
man. ' The lesson wrought from this
text might be likened to Mr. Morgan's
morning sermon. He impressed the
fact that It is better to see the good
things of life rather than obstacles, and
advocated the view of the life of Jesus
rather than unsurmountable things.
W hlle in Scranton Mr. Morgan is the
guest of L. M. Horton.
