LAST F.VKNIXO'S SICHMO.V.
Ills subject last night wus "The
Straight Street." suggest! d by the text
"Anil the Lord sold unto him, arise and
go Into the street which Is railed
Straight." Acts ix:ll. Introductory to
his theme he described Pamascus, the
city containing the street culled
Straight, as enchanting Mi. hammed t
the extent that he would not enter It.
saying there was but one Heaven for
man and be was ili-t -l nilm-cl not to
have his on earth. He occupied a con
siderable period in t. llliig nn entranc
ing story of how Saul was led blind and
helpless Into the city to preach Hod's
word, nf the upheaval that follow d
and of his escape In a basket over the
city's walls to escape the ussassin's
knife. He then .said:
'Heboid He prayeth." That. ' then. !s
one thing we linil In the street called
Straight the Spirit of Prayer. . Saul had
been a prnyerful young man. He had
been taught to pray he had been a devout
attendant upon the services of the syna
gogue. All of which reveals the fact that
a man may be ever so devout and yet
never utter a true prayer to heuven-diu
may go to church ten times In the year
and still be full of the spirit of the man
who was ready to thrust a dsgger. A
man may have the Ten Comtnandmenis
written all over his face and still not prny.
The praying man is the man who wins.
Prayer Is mightier than battering rams
prayer compters armies prayer holds
hack the arm of Ood prayer melts away
the blindness of men. "Behold he pray
eth." You can meet any man on such grounds.
Hut there are some men yon hHve to m-et
whom you wish were always on their
knees, and there are others of the raee
whom you are willing to give a wM.'
berth men who pray on their knees un
Sunday and "prey" on other peopln uil the
resl of the week.
What were the first words uttered In
that home of Judas? There: "Words of
brotherhood." And so you find the spirit
of brotherhood In the Straight street. It Is
s:i!d that when William i'enn entered upon
his iiufles as chief magistrate he said to
the chiefs gathered about him: "My
friends, we huve met on the hroad pith
way of good faith; we are all one flesh
ami blojil. ISelng brethren, no advantage
shall be taken on either side. When dis
putes arise we will settle them !n coimsl.
Itetween us there shall be nothing but
opi iiiicss ami love." And it is related by
a competent historian that during the sev
enty years of this treaty, not a singl; war
whoop was heard ill the state of Pennsyl
vania. The (Juakcr hat and coat plnvd

In tile street called Straight blind eyes
are opened. "Hath sent me that thou

upon instrumentality. We have no rlitht

just such a ministry as Is here recorded.

We may be ordaining priests nfter the or

TI1E1K FIUST MASSES.
Three of tho Priests Ordoinod Wedner
day Offer I'p tho Holy Saeriflea
1'hree of tfhe four young priests, or
dalned on Wednesday last, celebrated
their first mass yesterday. Rev. Walter
A. Oorman, at Bt. Peter's catnedraJ
Rev. Henry P. Burke, at St. Mary'.
Dunmure. and Rev. Antoa Kaupus, at
Plttston. The fourth. Rev. Emerlcus
Hajtlnger. will wait until Pentecost
Sunday, when his parents will be on
here from fhleago.
There was a very large congregation
at St. Peter's to attend the celebration
of Rev. Father Gorman's first mass.
His parents. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Gor
uiun, of Penn avenue, and the other Im
mediate members of his family, occu
pied the front pews. Many people from
out of town, relatives and friends of
the family, were in the church. The
olllcers of the mass were Rev. Thomas
Curmody. deacon; Rev. J. W. Malone,
sub-deacon; and Rev. Kmcricus Hajt
lnger, master of ceremonies. Rev. 1). J.
Mae Goldrlek. president of St. Thomas'
college where Rev. Father Gorman is a
professor, and who was his sixmsor ut
ordination acted as assistant priest.
Rev. Father O'Reilly, rector of the
cathedral, was also In the sanctuary.
The young priest's mother was the first
to receive communion from his hands.
A -feature of the excellent programme
of music waa an Ave Maria at the of
fertory by Miss Hannah Magran, of
lilnghamton. Rev. Father Mae Gold
rlek preached the sermon. He took for
his text the words "A little less than
the angels hast thou created them O,
Lord." In part he said:
PIGX1TY OF A PRIEST.
The sacred writer contemplating the ex
alted position to- which God's servants
are called furnishes one with an Idea that
can be applied in the cekbittiion ill which
we participate today In the very sense In
which It was used many thousand years
ago. For today we are gathered around
Uod's ultar to assist ul the Hist holy m iss
uf one of our kindred who has lately iK'fll
raised to the exalled position of the priest
hood, and when we realize the nature of
the elllee of God's priest, nweiruck at
tho sublimity, we are forced to exclaim;
"A little less than the ungels hast thou
created them, o Lord."
When our Lord came down upon earth
to teach men how to save their souls, and
instituted the saerumenld as the channels
of sanctifying grace, by which their sane
tllieation was to be effected, one wo'tld
naturally supiwse that the custody and
distribution of these sacraments ought to
huve been entrusted to angels and not to
men. Hut, in the Initial step of the work
of redemption He did not make use of the
angelic nature, but chose, rather, to as
sume an human nature, so In the eontln'i
at'on of the same work down through the
centuries He chose, rather, to select His
messengers and His ministers from
among men than among angels, i'or hail
lie chosen angels, or any kind of being of
a nature superior to our own as His min
isters the bond of sympathy between the
reih-emer and the redeemed, between the
Savii'r and the saved, between the high
born ambassador and the low-born sln
crushed serfs might not be so evidently
present as materially to help the corre
spondence with grace. What sympathy
could we suspect an angel or other su
perior being to hae for us In the thou
sand miseries thnt our own waywardness,
or neglect, brinvs 1o us? What patience
could we look for from such a being for
the relapsing sinner? What claim for mc:--cy
and Intercession could we reasonably
hope for from a being of a nature different
from our own? Hut when God's messen
ger Is of our own kindred, and the thea
ter and subject of feelings and dispositions
and tendencies Identical wilh our own,
surrounded with dlllicnltles similar to
those we know, moved by the same pns
Niun that make war and havoc on our
lives, Incited to the same sins that have
wounded and smirched our souls and have
separated us from the love of God. who
knows the weaknesses of our nature by
having exoerlenced them, who. In dis
tress, knows the strengthening value of
a word of cheer and comfort, the balm of
n word of sympathy and kindness, we are
emboldened to ask for aid. and wilh yearn.
Ing we erv out for the relief to which we
fancy our kinship gives us claim.
GOO'S MESSENGER.
Kor this Is a priest chosen that he be
the messenger of peace between God nnd
man, that he be tho angel of reconcllia.
tion between sinful, erring man and an of
fended God, that he be light to the blind,
strength to the weak, comfort to the ef
fected, and a guide to the erring. This
he achieves by the distribution of the sac
raments. Souls separated from God by
the absence of the bond of snnctlfyiim
united tn God In the sacrament
of baptism and thus are brought from
darkness and death into supernatural
light of life souls steeped In sin, yet peni
tent, have the trangresslons of years blot
ted out and annihilated when the priest
announces the words of absolution and
recondite Hon the ileuth hour or a person
steeped for years in crime, mude dreaWi'ul
by the remembrance oi me iicrormiu.'s
of the past, and the anticipation of ap
proaching judgment, is rooueu oi us ter
rors when God's idlest appears to speak
the words his olllee charges him to ay.
And what shall I say of the priest who
consecrates the precious body und blond
of our Lord Jesus Christ, and distributes
the same to the faithful.
The uiuels of Gud are sometimes repre
sented as gathering the drops of our
Lord's precious blood sh:-d during His pas
sion and Jielously guarding them here Is
the priest of God by virtue of the commis
sion he has received reversing the angelic
process and ambitions rather to scii'.'er
the precious body and blood of our Lor.l
so as to 1111 every human heart to ovr
tlowimr, not merely with our Lord's grace
and love, but wilh our Lord's must pre
cious blood.
The priest's olllee nnd dignity are not
given to him for his own emolument, but
In favor of others that he may save souls,
bring them to the feet of our Lord and
there offer them as the pledge of His
ear lstness. to please our Ird by co.
operating with Him In the work of re
demption. This is a day of rejoicing for the com
munity from which such a person has
been chosen. It Is a day of special re
joicing for his parents, who have willing
Iv parted with him that ho may be a
faithful companion of his 8avlor In win
ning souls to n life of grace, und a day of
special rejoicing for himself, who conse
crates his young life to the service of
God. and the sanctifleutlon of souls, puts
oil' the thought of the world and of self
and knows only the supreme motive cf
the desire to please our Lord Jesus Christ.

today and the clergymen and elders
will return in the afterncon to their,

At Saturday mornliiR's session Rev.
W. H. Stubblebine made an appeal for
financial assistance to establish a mis

that If the rlassls would Rive $ruo he
would be able to undertake the work,
but without the promise of thnt
nmount. he would not assume the task.
The appeal was referred to the Sunday
school committee. The committee tools
the matter In hand and promises t- do
what they can to help the Petersburg
mission.
A petition was received from a T:-1-formed
congregation at Plttston, asking
for admission to the classis. Then- ai"'
twenty-two adult members, at-.d nli'.o

referred to Its proper committee and
was reported on favorably. The samo
committee will see that the new con
gregation fulfills all the necessary re
quirements. Rl3y. BENNER'S REMARKS.
Saturday evening- a service In prep
paratlon for the celebration of tno
Lord's Supper yesterduy morning; was
led by Rev. 11. A. I. Benner, of Fiee
land. Ills words were meant to Im
press his hearers with tho need of ex
amining Into their hearts to discover
and discard the errors nnd sins which
we are subject to. Every person, ho
said, has his faults and errors, and no
ninn should presume to be other than
fallible. The speaker, addressing: him
self to his brethren of the ministry,
urged them to be courageous In the
work of the Master and the spread of
the gospel.
The morning Sabbath service yester
day was conducted by Rev. D. "W. Kli
bert. A large number of ihe congre
gation approached the communion
table and partoi k of the Lord's Supper.
After the service Rev. Mr. Kershner,
president of the classis, delivered an
Interesting address to the members of
the Sunday school of Calvary church.
The services last evening were pre
sided over by Pastor .Stubblebine and
there was a large congregation pre
sent. Rev. George W Kershner, presi
dent of the clussis, gave the address.
He srioke n nn eloquent way on the
subjects of difficulty, faith, prayer and
consecration. The beginning of a task
Is always the most difficult. The hard
est thing for a child Is to learn to walk,
nnd for a pupil to learn the alphabet.
It Is the same with the Christian to be
gin In the service of the Ixird and the
church.
FAITH IS THE THING.
Faith, he said, In ourselves and In our
work is the quality that begets Btiecesa.
Cyrus W. Field had faith In his ability
to connect the two worlds by means
of the Atlantic cable. At first when he
made known his Intention he was
laughed at. and scorned, but his faith
was great and success ultimately
crowned his efforts. Prayer Is the great
est factor In assisting us to accomplish
what we undertake, Tt will perforin
miracles. And consecration, ho said,
after all Is in leading such lives of holi
ness and purity that our actions rujlect
the true spirit of doing Christ's iviHi.
Rev. I). K. Sehnedlor, stated clerk of
the classis. was the second speaker. He
never fulls to be Interesting and In a
terse, vigorous style he spoke of the
duty that Christians owe to God. The
Master says, "Come to Me all you who
are heavily. burdened and I will refresh
you.". Hut when we come to Him, He
has w-nik for us to do to carry out His
will. The wny to do the will of God
is to do It.
The speaker, by means of many pleas
ing illustrations, explained the manner
In which we nre to serve God. A pupil
cannot learn a lrssnn from the teacher;
the pupil must study the lesson. The
teacher Is to guide and govern and di
rect. So it is with the church. The
church Is the teuoher, but we must take
upon ourselves the duty we owe to God
and do it.
CHANCE IN FIVE YEARS.
Rev. G. F. Sorber. of Watsonlown,
who was one of a committee of thro
that came to Scranton five years ago
to' look. Into the prospects of establish
ing a church here, and which laid the
beginning of Calvary church, was the
last speaker.
Ha was pleased to see the growth o.f
the congregation, and predicted for It
greater success. Rencdlctlon was Im
parted at the conclusion of his address.
The choir of the church furnished spe
cial music for the services.
