TEMPTATION IS NOT EVIL
But Yielding to It Bring Awful Retribution-Need

Rev. Georgre O. Johnson, of Balston
Spa, N. Y.. preached yesterday morn
ing and night In the IVnn Avenue Bap
tist church, lie Is a young clergyman.
hut in the thoughts of his two sermons
and by his manner of earnest, forcible
delivery displayed an ability wnien
w ould do credit to ono of more mature
years.
The two services were made especial
ly attractive by a repetition of the
I liristmus music under the direction of
Choirmaster C F. Whittemore. The
programme of the music bus been pub
lished. Mr. Johnson's evening sermon was a
simple but earnest plea for withstand
ing temptation, in w hlch he endeavored
to impress Uhii the congregation the
Infallucy of the text James 1:15:
And sin, when It Is finished lirlngeth
forth death." H said:
"'Where dues it end?' is a question
we should constantly ask ourselves
It Is especially Important in a spiritual
sense, more important than in a busi
ness or worldly sense, for the one has a:i
ctoi mil asiH-ct while the other Is only
temporal. This, too, suggests the as
sertion that the etui Is more important
limn the beginning. In coasting down
a hill it is more essential to know what
lies at the bottom than ut the top, and
no btisines man begins a certain plan ur
policy until he Is sntisllod that the etui
Is to be favorable. So in life we should
know what the end Is.
Wc Itcgin Our l ire in sin.
"Let us start at the beginning. All
of us begin our life In sin. What is sin'.'
Sin Is tlellned by Hod in the same verse
that contains our text. 'Then when
lust hath conceived, It brought forth
fruit'; that is, 'lust.' which might be
modernly termed 'evil desire,' if yielded
to, is sin.
"If temptations were sin, then the
Saviour would not have been guiltless
during the forty days and forty nights
in the wilderness when he was tempt
ed of the devil; yield not to tempta
tion for yielding is sin. Ho the temp
tation to drink is not sin, but the lirst
cup of liquor Is evil. It's the old story
of Eden over again, when If Kvh'h de
sire had not been yielded to, 'yielded
to, murk the words tier's would have
been victory not tragedy.
"We might say 'full grown' Instead
of 'iinished' In relation lo when sin
brings forth death. When tho ltusslan
thistle by some unknown moans was
transplanted to our Western prairies
the weed was looked upon as a curiosity
by the farmers.. They allowed It to be
come 'full grown' and It brought forth
death to the grain It mixed itself with.
It was not a bad looking weed; really
It was pretty and apparently harmless.
Well, it was harmless until It attained
Its 'full growth." That Is the danger
ous point. It Is the same with vice,
pleasurable at lirst but almost an in
curable growth when It finally absorbs
the heart and soul and brings forth
death.
Disciple's l ove of (in In.
"There was one of the twelve disci
ples who had a growth of sin in his
breast. The growth was love of gain,
a malady not uncommon in the present
day. This disciple was offered thirty
pieces of silver to betray his Christ.
There was but one decision under the
circumstances; the growth of sin was
so great that the offer of njlver was
accepted und Judas Iscarlot betrayed
the Christ by a kiss. The curse of his
sin followed him to away out on the
desert, far from everybody and every
where, when he committed suicide.
Surely 'the wages of sin is death.'
"Kvery step away from Christ gives
sin a new day's growth In your heart
and life, and makes It harder to turn
back; somewhere, sometime, sin in Its
full growth will bring forth death.
Let's hope that we may have a brighter
and more splendid picture for any soul
that will put aside temptation and look
to Christ before It Is too late.
"A man once took a small lion cub
for a pet. He kept the cub in his room
where he fondled and played with it.
He noticed Its growth, and to accommo
date the little thing he made its bed
larger. One day, while reading a book
the cub, now a year old, was licking one
of its master's hands. The rough sur
face of the tongue finally scraped some
of the skin from the hand and the
blood began to ooze only in a drop or
so through the skin. In an Instant the
cub, now a lion, grasped the hand (Irm
ly in Its teeth. The master had suffi
cient present of mind not to pull his
arm away, but with the other hand
grasped a revolver which lay on a
nearby table and shot the beast
through the heart. The growth of tne
pluyful cub Into a beast. In all the word
implies, Illustrates the growth of sin.
It is deemed pleasant In Its Infancy
when Its apparent harmlessness en
courages one to caress and nurture it.
The protests of one's friends, the law of
God, even the dictates of conscience do
not influence one to put temptation be
hind them, and finally the growth be
comes so large that we are absorbed
and die with God's penalty pronounced
upon our souls.
Ills Warnings Mot Flippant.
"Will we heed the warnings so plainly
held out to us? God's warnings are not
flippant; proportionately they are as
awful as the everlasting joys promised
for Chrlstlun living are good. Let us
take hoed. The end Is plainly before
us and we have the advantage of know
ing that a repentant sinner can be re
deemed. Which course will we take?
One Is sin 'and leads to death: the other
is putting uside temptation uml reap
ing everlasting reward."
SERVICE IXMEMORI A.M.
Conducted in the Kcscnc Mission by Kcv.
Q. I- Aid rich.
Services In memory of Mrs. A. K. Sax
ton, late mutron of the Florence mis
sion on Spruce street, were held yester
day afternoon In the Kesctie mission
on Franklin avenue. Hev. George L.
Aldrlch, of Grace Id-formed Kpiscopal
church, presided und preached from
Hebrews. xi:4, "Clod testifying of his
gifts: and by It he, being, dead, yet
spenketh." It was a tribute to Mrs.
Saxton's high character, and her self
denial and laborious work in helping
others.
Brief remarks were made by Dr. G.
R. Dean and ninny to whom Mrs. Sax
ton had been a kind and helprul friend.
A duet was sung by Miss Blanche
Dolph and Florence Robinson and solos
by Miss Hasty, of Avoca, und Miss
Robinson. The service closed with
prayer and a benediction by Mr. Al
drlch. DK. MORGAN DECLINES. .
Will Not Bccomo Pastor of the I'enn
Avenue Baptist Church.
Rev. I)r. Charles T. 'Morgan, of the
Spring Garden Street Baptist church,
of Philadelphia, has declined the call
of the Penn Avenue Baptist church of
this city. This was intimated In a re
cent Issue of The Tribune, which made
public the call of the First Baptist
church of Haverhill. Mass., and which
Dr. Morgan will probably accept.
Dr. Morgan Is a clergyman of splen
did ability. Before the Penn Avenue
congregation votes upon another candi
date it Is likely that the pulpit commit
tee will be instructed to call a number
of clergymen for trial. ,
Dr. Morgan was sorry he could not
come to Scranton. His call to the Penn
Avenue church was .not unanimous,
while that of the Haverhill church was.
For that reason he accepted the latter.
A WW. C A. SECRETARY.' '
Call F.xtendcJ to Miss Nellie Allen, of
Syracuse. X. V.
The board of managers of the Young
Women's Christian association at a
meeting Saturday afternoon decided to
call Miss Nellie Allen, of Syracuse, X.
Y., to the secretaryship of the local as
sociation. Miss Allen is not generally
known in Scranton, but has had a prac
tical training in association work.
She was a prominent figure in the
recent convention at : Bioomsburg,
where by her exhibition of tact, ami
ability and capabilities she made a very
favorable impression upon the Scran
ton delegates. Her, association work
has been confined . to colleges. She is
highly recommended.
It will be remembered that Miss Mac
Curdy, a former secretary, recently
declined a call to succeed Miss Totles.

FOR A NEW FONDLING HOI
Money Kill He Raised in the Parishes
of Scranton Diocese
THE SITE IS IN N0KTH fAKK
Covers Two and One-Half Acres and Was
Donated by tho Late John B. Smith.
Hev. J. J. B. Feeley Has Charge of
Collce.lo.is in Cathedral Parish.
At all the masses in St. Peter's cathe
dral yesterday morning that announce
ment was made that lit. Rev. Bishop
O'Hara has decided that collections will
be taken up In the parishes through
out the diocese to establish a fund for
the erection of a new building for St.
Joseph's Foundling home.
The late John B. Smith, of Dunmore,
about a year before his death phllan
throplrally donated to the home two
and one-half acres of ground adjoining
the Home for tho Friendless tract nt
North Park, and It Is on this site that
the new home vrlll be erected. It is
proposed that the building will be
commodious, modern in its appoint
ments, and In architecture it will be in
keeping with the purpose of making It
a diocesan Institution.
The present home on Jefferson ave
nue is far from being calculated to ac
commodate the needs of the noble and
charitable work which Is being fuitilied
by the sinters in cliurge, and to their
great credit may it be said that not
withstanding the lack of ordinary fa
cilities, still they are accomplishing an
untold amount of good In caring for
children of tender years, bereft by uc
cident or design of the fostering care
of parents.
f ifty Seven Inmates In the Home.
There are now In tho home llfty
seven children, whose ages range be
tween one day and four years. After
the latter period they are transferred
to the Orphan usylttm, wliere they ob
tain un education. The average num
ber of foundlings left on the door step
of the home and wrapped In swaddling
clothes Is about four every year. One
was found cuddled up only two months
ago when the front door was opened
early In the morning by one of the sis
ters in answer to a wild ring of the door
bell.
Rev. J. J. B. Feeley has charge of the
collection at the cathedral; It will not
be taken up in the church, but Father
Feeley will go through the parish and
make a personal canvass. The pastors
of the other churches will use their own
wishes with reference to the manner
In which the contributions will be re
ceived. Father Feeley Intends to start
out today to make collections.
The plans for the new building have
not yet been adopted, nor has any es
timate been agreed upon as to the pro
posed cost. It can be readily seen that
if It Is the Intention of moklng it a
diocesan Institution, a large amount of
money will be necessary.
In view of the grand and deserving1
chnrlty thnt Is to be benefited the hope
is that liberality will mark the con
tributions of theCathoIics of the Scran
ton diocese and any others who may
desire to lend their means to an object
so worthy.
VERDICT FOR DEFENDANT.
Jury Did Not F.ndorse Suit or Morris A
Fsscx Mutual Coal Co.
Major Everett Warren and C. P.
O'Malley, attorneys for the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad
company, in the tresnnss suit where
the Morris and Essex Mutual Coal com
pany was plaintiff, won a signal vic
tory, a verdict for the defendant being
rendered Saturday by the Jury in the
case. The suit was for taking a culm
dump In Old Forge township and dam
ages were asked in the sum of $10,000.
City Solicitor James H. Torrey, ex
Judge Garrlck M. Harding and Attor
ney John S. Harding, of Wilkes-Barre,
represented the plaintiff. The railroad
company defended on the ground that
the dump was taken with the consent
of William Repp, agent of the Morris
and Essex company, and that It was
taken more than six years before the
suit was brought, which fact buried
recovery under the statute of limita
tions. After being out two days and two
nights in a trivial case, the one where
Jacob Harris was plaintiff and Con
stable George C. Wilson defendant, the
Jury came Into court Saturday morning
and asked to be discharged. Upon in
quiry, It was found that eleven stub
born men were holding out against one
intelligent and far-seeing citizen.
Counsel on both sides agreed to abide
by the necislon of the eleven and let
the other Juror with the fixed opinion
cling to it. They were in favor of a
verdict of $11 for the defendant and
Judgment was so recorded.
in the suit of Sophia Lowensteln
against the estate of Edward Lowen
steln, vho was her son, the verdict of
the Jury was in favor of the defendant.
In the case of Townsend W. Knowies
against Mary Jacob a verdict in favor
of the defendant was found.
The suit of J. B. Lesh ugainst Jesse
Hunt, his brother-in-law, for money
advanced on a Judgment note, was
called Saturday morning before Judge
Archbald. Attorneys Hulslunder &
Vosburg represented the plaintiff and
Attorney C. W. Dawson the defendant.
