Kev. Samuel P. Matthews Kill Begin
His Pastorate Tomorrow.
THE SIMXEK AVENUE CHURCH
Its Affairs Will Be Considered
the Next Meeting of the Pesby
tcry ew (Year's Receptions
t the Christian Association.
Kev. Samuel F. Matthews, the new
pastor of the First liaptlst chinch, bet
ter known us the Scranton Street Uup
tlst church, will tuke charite of the pas
torate tomorrow. Mr. Matthews and
family have been in the city for the
past two weeks. They are now com
fortably settled In the church parson
age on North Hyde Park avenue. Mr.
Matthews came here from U rutin, X. Y.,
where he had clnuge of a circuit of
churches.
H wus born, reared and educated in
Philadelphia. In early life he was con
verted by and under the ministry of
the celebrated Dr. Mention, now of Chl
i uru. ltecelvliis a call to the ministry
Vr. Matthews was ordained at Harris
burg, where he labored for several
years. His pastorates included Athens
and Wellsboro, in Pennsylvania and
I'nlon Sprlnns und (itotin. In New York.
Just before settling In Scranton, he re
ceived a 'ii II from the First Baptist
church of Little KiH'k. Arkansas. The
call was declined n favor of the Scran
ton church Invitation. Several years
aso at the request of the Siberia exile
commission of the I 'lilted Stales. Pas
tor Matthews prepared literature bear
ing upon the exile subject. This whs
widely distributed throuuhout the I'riit
cd States, especially in the South and
West, and the reverend author has re
ceived not n little fame as a result.
Mr. Matthews Is now in the prime of
llfe.when his faculties are best prepared
for work. He is in iierscnal appearance,
scholarly, his features having a decided
ly Intellectual cast. In the pulpit he de
livers his sermons from a few notes, re
lying on the spirit of his subject for ef
fect. He is an eloquent speaker and
an increase In attendant' is aireauy
notlceable at the Scranton Street Map'
tlst church. The installation will take
nlace In the near future. Tomorrow
Mr. Matthews will preach both morning
and evenlnff on subjects appropriate to
the new year. Services at lo.so a. 111..
and 7 p. ni.
Sumner Avenue Church.
At a metins of the Presbyterian
cleric held Monday niorniiiK In the
study of the Kev. S. C. LoRan. U. D..
the linanclul condition of the Sumner
avenue church was discussed. It wns
decided to lay the matter before the
next meethiB of the presbytery of this
district with the recommendation that
funds be raised to assist the church.
Kev. John tlrltlllhs Is now In charge of
the church. He was sent there by the
presbytery when the church was pas
tor ess and In a demoralized condition.
The success met with since his advent Is
onlv partial, though Mr. C.rllllths has
been most earnest In his work. The
church was built two years ago and was
dedicated by Kev. His. Mci.eod and
l.nyitn.
It Is a pretty frame rtructure, pltu
nled 011 the corner of Price street and
Sumner avenue. But the support of the
church and pastor comes hard upon
the small membership which cannot
easily pay the current expenses
Hid ' the debt incurred in bulld-
itur becomes more pressing every
month. At the last meeting of the
Presbvterv tr. Logan was speaking on
I he subject. It was suggested that the
Taylor Presbyterian church and the
Sumner avenue church be taken care of
by one nreacher, the Kev. Mr. Jones,
now of tlie Taylor church. Definite ac
tion will be taken In the matter at the
next tiieelbig of the Presbytery.
Tho New Year's Receptions.
Is all the talk about the interest of
members in the Young Men s and Young"
Women's Christian associations inuaien
und promulgated by a few enthusiasts
whose interest marks the correctness
of their utterances? A practical bit of
Information on this point might have
been gleaned at the New Year's recep
tions of the two organizations conduct
ed separately at their respective build
ings on Wyoming and Washington ave
nues.when throughout theal'ternoon and
evening each building was j.minied by
dense throngs of young people who thus
attested their appreciation of the popu
lar associations. Certainly wnat oc
curred does not Indicate "Inllatcd" in
terest.

A SERMON 1n"m1NIATUR1:.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In John Ix, 1. we read: "And ns
Jesus passed by He saw a man that w is
blind from his birth." The man being
blind from his birth and a beggar and
Christ being a spiritual physician, we thus
have Indisputable evidence that the man
was spiritually blind, too lazy to work.
Hence like our .professional tramps of the
present age. if you do not contribute to
their support hut undertake to reason with
them they feel greatly Insulted. As they
do not believe In controversy, they will
sulk away from you and are liable to
burn your buildings or do you other pri
vate Injury. The Iird made an ointment
out of spittle and clay, and plastered ll
over the man's temporal eyes and sent him
to the pool of Siloam to wash. Jesus knew
that by Ihe time he found the water and
