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.

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.
