WILL BE SEVEN ADDRESSES Pastor Miller Last Kvealng Introduces tbo Subject with a Sermon oa "The Sia of ;l'uohaatityM-Myor Con II sad Others to Participant. Rev. E. L. Miller, pastor of Trinity Lutheran church, last evening Inaugu rated a rerles of sermons and addresses on the subject of "Unchastlty" by dellv erlng a discourse on "The Sin of Un chastlty." His sermon last evening was In the main an Introduction to the series, lie took occasion to refer to the police In vestigatlon of last week as an unforo seen circumstance, which made this previously announced pulpit movement the more apropos, and called attention 4 to the startling and deplorable revela lions concerning the boys who were connected with the a (fair. He announced a meeting for tonight for men only, at which addresses will be made as follows: "Unehaslity as a Civic Crime." Hon. W. I Connell. may or; "Unchastlty as Revealed to the Physician,". Dr. W. W. Ives; "The Culti vation of Personal rurlty," Dr. L. M. Gates. On Tuesday night there will be a women's meeting, at which Mrs, Frances B. Swan will deliver an ad dress and Dr. Anna C. Clarke will speak on the subject "Higher Moral Standard for Women." Next Sunday nljrht Rev. Mr. Miller will close the series with a continuation of last eve, nlng's sermon. . His text last venln$ was First Thos- Eaionians, iv, 3-7: for tnls is the will of uod. even your sanctlflcatlon, that ye should ab stain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel In sanctlflcation and honor. And not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles, which know not God: That no man go beyond and de fraud his brother In' any matter; be cause that the Lord Is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned and testified. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holi ness." No Apology to Make. Mr. Miller said: "Failure to deliver the Master's mes sage regarding unchastlty Is Just as sinful in the Christian ambassador as the contemplation of the subject Is disagreeable. Tour servant has no apology to make for raising his voice against the unclean life, during this Advent time of warning, but rather re grets that, while never hesitating, as you well know, to speak plainly In an Incidental way upon the matter. It has never been made the theme of a com plete pulpit address. The natural desire of the guilty to be left undisturbed In their iniquity never closes the mouth of any minis ter who approximates conscientiously; but the reluctance of many eminently respectable church-goers to hear a plain deliverance against sins of im purity, often leads to the neglect of a cardinal duty. Tho dislike towards treatment of this subject In the pulpit Is caused by Ignorance of the awful slough of carnal lust, surrounding us all, or by the false Impression that such utterances derogate from the dignity of the ministry. Then again we are told that no amount of preaching will materially help to better things in this particular, because sinners of this class are well nigh universally irrecoveraDie. We are warned that our efforts may not only prove abortive of their ob ject, but may even be productive of harm to young hearers. To such unchristian reasoning we re ply that, on the same ground, we might as well close - our churches because much good seed fall on unproductive noil; and, carrying the argument to logical conclusions In other directions, we might as well disband our legisla tive bodies because no amount of law making will prevent men from stealing and murdering. Hops Promised to All. While the present discourse is intend ed more especially as a warning to be placed on the edge of the social quag mire, it Is distinctly denied that the preaching of Ood's word is totally In efficacious among the lowest-fallen. As a foundation for all our legislative and philanthropic work must be placed tho law and the gospel. It Is, after all, "by the foolishness of preaching" that men are saved. The gentle, forgiving Saviour is still extending help and hope to Magdalens, and every pastor of ex perience knows that the devils of un cleanness In such hearts are often driv en out by Christ's power, to make room for sincere love and quiet service for him. And If there were no visible fruits at all of Christian eliort the watchmen of Zlon could not do otherwise than warn. Paul s "rorewarnings ana "tes tifyings" against unchastlty are found In every epistle he wrote. He thunders and he pleads. He pictures the judg ment scene and tells the awful sentence upon those thus guilty and he exhorts remembrance of the solely Christian claim to cleanness: "Ye are the tem ple of the Holy Ghost." And so It Is in all the law and the prophets. Plain, forceful deliverances against the sin of unchastlty abound In every book of the bible. And shall we keep silent who are commissioned to preach this book "for reproof, for correction, for instruct tlon In righteousness?" ' And are these clean times? While It is true that Sodom is burled In the Dead Sea, do we not hear of the horri ble sins of these people? Though Cor inth Is In rulns.ls there no Corlnthlanlz lng among usT ' Reference to the Police. When It was decided to treat this sub ject In this pulpit the pastor was not aware of the existence of any cause for the developments in police circles o. this municipality during the past week. This theme has,- therefore, been made especially apropos by unforeseen con ditions. The revelations now made In dicate a share of guilt In drunkenness, unchastlty and bestiality among boys that Is startling and deplorable and which calls for the earnest attention of every parent to the habits of his child. It will not do to take It for granted that your boy would never be thus guilty. Be sure that he Is not. . It Is not out of place here to say, also, that I know that our mayor has riven the subject careful, and honest atten tion, and I believe that through his ef forts much good has been accomplished In a quiet way. , If clt liens Were more ready to co-operate in work along these lines a great deal more good could easily be done.. Concerning the objec tion to preaching on unchastlty on the around that the Introduction of the sub ject before a congregation will do harm to the young, I would say that the dan ger Is as little as that arising from the reading of their bibles. The pure mind ed will not hear anything from this pul pit except that which will street Ma their resolve to keep pure. To be sure, there are probably in this very euoi ence persons already so depraved as to turn the Immaculate gospel Into a feed er of their filthy minds, but I would say to such that which good Jeremy Tay lor said In Introducing the subject in his admirable book. Holy Living: "If any man will snatch .the pure taper from my hand and hold it to the devil he will only burn his own fingers, but shall not rob me of the reward of my care and good Intentions." Ihoitifht liczcts Action. Then the reverend speaker proceeded to treat of the multiformity and enor mity of the sin. He spoke of the un chaste thought which soon manifests Itself In unchaste speech and manners: then dwelt on the open lewdness of the street and the stage; then upon the di rect acts of unchastlty. On the enormity of th'ese sins lie said that Cod's will Is clearly opposeu to them.They reflect upon the ability of God's children to keep themselves pure, they are heathenish vices and they wrong our brother. Unchasuty is a de filement of the very temple of God. It involves and leads to many other great and shameful sins and often entails suffering on the innocent. He closed with this peroration: that all In the hour of temptation, sure to come, would rpc-l every unchaste thought.however Introduced as prompt ly as Joseph, and ns eirtcaclously, ex claiming from the heart: How can I do this rreat wickedness and sin against God?'" E. C. PIMHICK DEAD. Ills Sudden Demise a Shock to Ills Fam lly. FrienJs and tho City at Large. The critical illness of Edward C. Dim' mlck noted In the last Issue of The Tribune terminated fatally at 2 o'clock Saturday morning. Mr. Dimmlck had been 111 but seven or eight days, and not until about three days before his death was his condition considered alarming. While driving In the country about a week previous to hia death .he was taken with a chill and on Tuesday last It developed that he had contracted a severe cold, which compelled him to retire to his home. Wednesday ho felt well enough to be about, and In the afternoon spent short time in his Green Ridge office. This evidently en used a relapse for on Wednesday morning upon awakening he found himself In a state of utter collapse, and when Dr. Allen, his at' tending physician, visited him, in re. sponse to a hasty summons, he discov ered Mr. Dlmmick's condition to be so serious as to dispell all hopes of re covery. He continued to decline rap- Idly until he passed away. Mr. Dimmlck was &1 years of age, having been born In Mllford, Pick coun ty. Feb. 2, 1844. He was the son of Milton Dimmlck, a lawyer of that place, and a direct descendant of Elder Thomas Dimmlck, the progenitor of that famous Xew England family. He was educated In Honesdale, under the tutorship of his grandfather, Rev. Ed ward Allen. In 1802 ho went to Mauch Chunk and entered the law office of his uncle, M. M. Dimmlck. He was ad mitted to the Carbon county bar In 1865, and three years later was elected district attorney. He was re-elected In 1871. In 183 he was the Democratic candidate for the legislature in the Car bon-Monroe district, but was defeated. In 1874 he came to this city and In 1883 was elected city controller, securing re-election in 1885. During his In cumbency of this office he was de feated for sheriff by W. J. Lewis. His political career then ended, although he was afterwards frequently sought to accept nominations for offices. At the close of his term as controller Mr. Dimmlck formed a law partnership with J. Benjamin Dimmlck. This part nership was dissolved soon afterwards and he then became a member of the firm of Breck, Dimmlck A Reynolds, In which firm he oontlnued until its dissolution about one year ago. Mr. Dimmlck was married on Dec. 1808, to Irene Sophie, daughter of Alexis I. and Joanna du Pont deNe- moura, of Wilmington, Del. She died April 1, 1877, and on March 8, 1S80 he married Joanna M., a sister of his first wife. Three children survive him, La vinla Elizabeth Dimmlck, Dorothy Dimmlck and Milton Dimmlak. Tho deceased was a man Of domestic habits and literary tastes, but notwith standing this and the fact that he did not seek companionship outside of his business and family circles, he was well known. He had a coterie of friends, by whom he was most admired, however. for they knew him best. His death robs the bar of an able member, and the city of one of Its foremost men. The funeral will take place at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and will be private. Interment will be made In Forest Hill cemetery. The Lackawanna bar association will meet at 11 o'clock this morning to take action on the death of Mr. Dimmlck. LIEUEBKttANZ EVENT. . Enjoyed by ' Member. Families and Friends In Music Hall Last Night. The Licderkranz last night enjoyed one of Its periodical sociables which are the source of so much amusement to the members and their families. It was a typical Llederkrans affair. In stead of sitting In rows, like so many propped-up dummies, as Is the custom with the ordinary gathering at an en tertainment the sociability-loving Ger mans assembled In merry groups or family parties about tables, scattered through the hall, and while not en gaged in listening to the many excel lent and varied numbers of the musical programme, spent the time In social chat or partaking of refreshments. Many of the members brought friends along and they gracefully fell Into the Llederkranz's way of spending a pleas ant evening of wholesome enjoyment The musical numbers consisted of: 1.

Was Celebrated by Two Appropriate amices Yesterday. DR. REED'S TWO DISCOURSES Robust Presence a4 Eloqueaee of the Dickinson Collage President Charms Two Immense Aadieaecs-ssseially Written Anniversary By mas. The love of tho Elm Park church con grngation for its church. In a local and spiritual aense waa shown in jester a"s celebration of the second i versary of the present church edlfioe. The morning and evening sermons of Rev. Dr. George E. Reed, president of Dickinson oolleze; the evening address ot Kev. J. E. Price, a former pastor the singing of past and present special ly written anniversary hymns, the lm mense audiences and all else conspired to make the celebration literally a me mortal one. The two service's were con. ducted by Rev. Dr. W. H. Pearce, the pastor. ' The chimes, rung by Alfred Wooler, and a splendid organ prelude by Alfred Pennington, the regular church organist, preceded the morning service, which opened with the congregation's singing of "Praise God, From Whom Xll Blessings Flow," and "Jesus. Thou Everlasting King." Prayer was of fered by Rev. C. J. Bradbury. Tho an them, "We Stand In Deep Repentance.: was followed by a responsive reading, and another anthem, "Jubilate Deo." Then was sung last year's anniversary hymn, "Father Divine, Again We Come," written by Ohaajss E. Brad bury. Dr. Read's Morning Theme. Dr. Reed's theme was upon the gen tleness' of God, and was based upon i verse of the Pslams. "Thy gentleness made me great." The speaker's robust presence, eloquence and fire and his subject seemed all merrcd, and he spoke with an emphasis and diction which charmed and Interested his hear ers. His topic he divided into two thoughts, the greatness of men from their human aide and their greatness from the Godward side. For illustra tion he cited Napoleon as one of hu man greatness, and whose wars, en ergy and will had held all Burope un der subjugation for nearly twenty years, but who lost his power because of spiritual weakness. Gladstone and Bismarck, he remarked, are men of greatness because of their faith In God and His teachings. Today men are ac credited with greatness frem a stand point entirely different from that of i century ago; then, power meant great ness; today a man's position is deter mined by his moral stalwartness. The morning anniversary hymn for this year was also written by Mr. Brad -bury. It is of Ave verses and was yes terday sung to the Tune Ariel. The Evening Service. At the evening service the combined capacity of the main auditorium and the Sunday school room was overtaxed, and many persons were seated In the choir loft As in the morning the ser vice was ushered by the ringing of the chimes and an organ prelude and began with a hymn by congregation and choir, Prayer was offered by Rev.- Richard Hiorns. Dr. Reed's sermon was preached from the 14th and 15th verses of) the third chapter of II Timothy, wherein the apostle exhorted his young disolple to continue In the things which he had learned and had been assured of. There comes to all men, said tne speaker, seasons of mental and spirit' ual skepticism; seasons when the mind wishes to subject all of Its postulates to question and to inquiry. At such a time it would be well to heed St Paul's advice, and continue In those things which had been learned as the fruits of personal experience, holding fast to that which was good. The Bible was a book which had restated every on slaught, both as to its sdentifio accur acy and as to the sufficiency of Its phil osophy. The scientific spirit which had wrought during the nineteenth century greater progress toward a comprehen slon of nature than had been made dur Ipg all the preceding centuries had en deavored with its utmost research to overthrow the authenticity of the Scrip tures by overcoming the necessity for a God, but it had failed; and with Us first words the Bible voiced the conceded sum of all science's vaunted discovery when It said: "In the beginning, God." Wall AgalaM Agnosticism. But not only does the Bible satisfy the Intellect by giving the only tenabie philosophy of life, but it gives, also, spiritual hope and solace and comfort This Is a fact which agnosticism could never knock down. It is a positive and an affirmative fact, upheld by the tes timony of millions of trutmul men and women In all circumstances of earthly fortune and representing all conditions of mind and spirit The speaker drew an eloquent picture of bis widowed mother, chalr-rldden In a bleak Maine home, poor as poverty could be and yet sustalnd through every varying vicis situde by a faith In that Book which nothing In all the world could weaken; and In conclusion he asked those 10 whom honest doubt sometimes came to think long and clearly before putting aside that which could comfort the op pressed, cheer the sorrowing and carry new life and hope to every grade of misfortune. Dr. Reed's sermon was an earnest honest and powerful one, relieved at times with quaint flashes of Yankee humor; and It made a profound Impres sion for good upon the vast audience which heard It. Dr. Pearce called upon Rev. Dr. JT E. Price' to say a few words to his old congregation. The invitation waa ac cepted and the words were prefaced by an apt ' tribute to Dickinson college, Dr. Price's alma mater, and to Its scholarly president Dr. Price recalled the fact that as a sophmore he had taken home from Dickinson college a gold medal won for excellence In ora tory, and had placed it In his mother's lap, making her the proudest mother, as he was the proudest son, In all the land. Again, as a Junior at college. he had taken home another medal, and laid it In the lap of a Certain young woman, and perhaps the winning of that medal had helped him to win her. ' A Touching Retrospection. The speaker continued for some time In this strain of personal reminiscence, recalling among other things the In cident of his Illness In Scranton, when he said It was the prayers of this con gregation that In God's grace kept him from passing Into the great beyond. These remarks were delivered so feel ingly and struck so truly the affections of those who had known Dr. Price as pastor In the years agone that the Im mense audience at times could with dif ficulty repress the tears. . He noted the wonderful growth of Soranton, com plimented the congregation upon, hav ing built the finest church m American Methodism and Anally urged that as a congregation and aa lndirldsla the , superiority of tat church should find a spiritual parallel. The evening anniversary hymn was written by Mrs. Flndley Bradea. She la a resident ot New York city, and was only twice In Elm Park church, but was so impressed with Its beauty and the energy of the congregation that she asked the privilege of dedicating to it a hymn of five verses, which waa sung to the Tune Varina.
