REV. J. B. SWEEPS
EARNEST SERMON
Delivered from His Pulpit in the Simp
son M. E Church.
SOME THOUGHTS HE SUGGESTED
Ttie World Demands Everything and
Refuses Any Remuneration to the
Uivcruil Asks for All nuil Re
reiving It Returns All I'uto the
tiivcr with Ulrssiues and Honor.
Mow J. B, Sweet, the recently ap
pointed pastor of the Simpson Methodist
Episcopal church, of the West Side,
preached a sermon last evenins on the
texts, "And no man pave unto Him,"
Luke, xv : I, part of sixteenth verso;
"He that spared not Ids own Son but
delivered l'!ni up for us all, how shull
ho not with Him also freely Rive us nil
things," lioniuns, lli::;i. The eongrre
Kution was a large one. .Mr. Sweet's
ditcour.se fuliuws:
Two thoughts here susScst them
selves, first. The world demands every
thing ind receiving Hie suine holds it
fast with Iron strip and ret'ures uny re
muneration to the iriver. Second. Ciod
usUs lor nil and receiving it. He returns
all until the nlver. Iilessed lind honored
beyond computing.
Now is It not stramte that under such
eiiciinistunces there cuuld beany hesi
tancy as to w ith whom we should open
iieijotiat Ions'." Nuy, rather is it not
passing strange that under any circum
stance there should be u yielding of self
unto a dominant, arbitrary power, who
asks everything and never Kives buck
in return-.' When known of uud to till
unother iiuwer Invites the giving; unit
for the eiviiiK puys buck u wonderful
interest. Hut, uppiirenily. mi the part
of nmiiy there is no consideration of
the subject with knowledge of results;
there is no thought us to how results
ire to be reached: there Is no care us
to outcomes, und "let tomorrow take
care ot it ;i 11'. "Siithclcnt unto the day
Is tlii- evil tin. reel '" 'becomes I he cry. We
liv e today we feast. We IWel, we dance
and drink; lite is life. This is nood pny.
o thought the youiiR man of the tirst
part of our text. He looked at the world
uml said, (i how inviting it is! It says
to nie. fctve me of your sui vice. Hume!
What Is home but rest rietii ns? Come
out Into my service and be free, and the
houses of revelry and bacchiintlon
nlea:.uies shall all open to you. Father!
nv:ni.r Tin: times.
What is father but an old mil n. with
fogcylsli Ideas. Von know more than
he; lie Is behind Hie limey. Cnnie uut
and I will be a father to you. Ihother!
What Is a brother but one to quarrel
with; he thinks that he owns the holism,
and is ulways duiiiiiiccrliiK. Come
away; leuve the home, uud father, and
brother, then all Hie world shall be your
brother: take Hie portion of goods that
fulMh to you. Cnnie with me and
spend It. and in the midst of your
spending pleasures know that all are
your friends, and you huve no need of
luiiiic. or lather, or mother, or brother.
Come on, come on. And the younn niuu
calls for his piilrluiony, ?oes out into
Hie world's servlie tu find home, and
fa titer uud brother.
So we see him down yonder In Ibe
city, revelry and deviltry, and relKiiiliK
supreme. .Money Is his. The world
knows it. II.' is spending it freely. The
world Invites H. Keuuty In deshabille

Kawiiini; :'.M liophuhls w ith fulsoineiiess

Strains of music, the tnu::v dance, the

whom Reductive associates hail whis
pered promises of fidelity, and hud
sworn continued allegiance? Is this
the young man who cried "Hurrah for
the world, and the world's pay." Alas,
alas! yes, yes! "Ami no man nave unto
him."
RKAP WIIAT Wfi SOW.
How romes It? Why this change? It
Is simply the outcome of a national law.
The law that pays "What a man sows
that shall he also roup." Now what Is
the world as we thus understand It?
so much of earth with vegetable und
animal life? Yes and no. It is yes
when we understand that there Is a
principle beneath the dirt that gjioaks
of It as an object of attainment and
that its attainment is a thing greatly
desired for he who has. The earth has
everything measured by dollars and
cents, whilst he who Is without Is in
abject poverty. That Is the world,
however, as understood In opposition
to heaven. Heaven being the highest
possible attainment of man by spiritual
progresslveness. The world being the
attainment of man by simply human
methods plus the helpfurtr.ess of Su
tonic Influences. Hence the Divine
Apostle says "Love not the World
neither the things that ure In the world
if any may love the world the love of
the father Is not in him." So, I take it,
that ho who loves the world must be the
follower of him who is opiioseil to the
Kingdom of liod and Heaven. Now the
gain of the world implies the loss of the
soul. At least the loss of the soul ap
pears a consequent of such gain, whilst
an t-nibnrcatlon In pursuit of its pre
sumed pleasures has alwnvs proven
disastrous to body and soul of the seek
er. The world is o synonym for deceit
and treachery. To trust the world is to
trust the Jack O" Lantern of the swamp
or the niinige of the desert. "For all
this Is In the world p.isseth away and
the lust thereof having no permanency
all its promises are false. It ruins body
and sou'.
LOSS IS THR HKSl'LT.
ttooa it promise gain. Its result Is
loss'.' Does it promise happiness? Its
result is unhupuiness. Does it promise
pleasure? Its result Is wretchedness and
misery. Dues it promts proapeiity? Its
iresults are adversity and 4'iitn. Does
It promise friends? se Its results In this
young limn "And no man gave unto
hlin." This Is the world's puy, neglect,
pain, heartaches, woe, sorrow, disgrace,
rugs, hunger land ruin. I call you to
witness its truth, for it is true toduy
as ever In the pust.
Now If the world was all, we should
be in hoi ry plight. Hut against the
falsity of the world-its deceitfulnena
and treai liny, iiv.ulnst Its turning away
from fi.iiiier rotarle und refusing rec
ognition und giving not back to those
from whom It hud received so much t
put the statement of the uuostle, "lie
that spared not His own Son but dellv
eied Hun up for us u II. How shall he
not with liiiu ulsu feebly fcive us all
thlnes."
Ond el ics to us all. come tu me and in
my service tind profit and delight. Clod
says unto all men "My yoke Is easy and
my burden light. Come, work today in
my vineyard and I will pay you wages
for the work you do. Now If the world
Is Ireucht rous God is true. There Is no
record of any aucrirtce the world ever
made for the benefit of loan. Trace all
past history to lind a Nazatltlsh Car
penter dying to perpetuate worldly ideas
uud worldly method. Hut Ood looks
down upon sill stricken man and woman
the parents of u coining people and
said "I will help yuu. You huve violat
ed the law that said "The soul that
siiuioiti shull die." My son shall die in
your place that you might not perish
lint have everlasting life. So Ond
spared not His own Son but delivered
Him iii for us all. Ho died the just
for tin- unjust that He might bring them
to Ood. And having thus wrought Ood
looks upon men and says".My field for
labor is all about you. You have u
home., intensify the comforts and hap
piness of that home. You have a father,
honor him und crown his declining
days with a halo of reHpect and love.
KVKKY MAN A HHOTHT3R.
You have a brother, reveal in yourse.
the spirit of (he brother. Then beyond
this in wiil.r spheres of uuefulntsj
Ood calls us not Into buichanaliaii re
veilles bill into pure social relations
where seeing 111 every niuu a brrotlier we
are to seek by contuct to lift up Into a
higher comprehension of life. Ood
marks out lilies of friendship. Not the
ma liner of unrighteousness but of right
eousness. Ood culls uslnto work not that
which simply pampers lust of tlesh uud
eye but to rescue the dying, to snatch
them In pity from sin und Hie grave.
Ooil calls us into honor, not that which
places uh ut the head of earthly fuasts
to be anpluudcd uud Mutteivil, but the
lienor of continued solisliip the feast of
a good conscience and the banquet of a
rii;ht nml clean heart. Ami fur all our
service Ood w oiuliirl'ully pays lis. "How
shall, lie not with Jesus Chlrst feebly
give us nil tilings. " For in the giving of
Ch.rist He has given himself und the
giving of Himself Implies the giving of
ull of Himself us the greuter Includes
the less, so all that Is In Christ and
Ood goes with the gift for all things
are yours and ye are Christ, and Christ
is Ood.
So then we are culled Into a
service of honor and glorious remunera
tion. Not to the exhausting of ourselves,
not to the belittling of mini und wo
inunliod, but to great exaltution and
dignity. To mountain height of moral
power uud possession here, and to con
stant recognition of Increased growth,
nnd still more glorious recognition uml
honor in the Kingdom of Immoitul
glory for there It shall be sukl. "No
man gave unto Him but Ond on the
throne of eternal ugos shall recognize
us as his children and shall confess us
His before the saints and angels ttnd
shull say of us "Come ye blessed of
my Father Inherit the kingdom pre
pared for you" for how shall He not
with Ilim freely give us ull tilings.
ARRESTED AS ACCOMPLICES.
Two Colored .lieu Who Are Supposed
to It now About Joliuxon Itohhcry.
Kugene Huff mid Hilly Wilson, two
colored men have been committed to
the county Jail by Aldernnaii Howe us
accomplices of Oeorge Lander, who
robbed the Oriental club house lit Ouk
ford court, during the absence of the
proprietor, William Johnson Thursday
afternoon.
Land er was Janitor of the club house
and upon being left alone Thursday de
cided to speculute a little on his own
account. He disposed of some of the
furniture to Huff and then gathering to
gether about $:ioo worth of Johnson's
clothing nnd jewelry, a mandolin, revol
ver, gallon of whisky nnd several other
nrtlclm) skipped out. whither no one
knows.
It was learned that Huff and Wilson
were around with Lauder dur
ing Thursday and It was sus
pected that they knew where tile
goods hud been disposed of. They were
arrested und are being held hi the hope
of forcing them to disclose the where
abouts of the plunder.
Huff siiys thut he suspected thut there
might be something wrong ubottt the
furniture deal und us soon as Johnson
returned Informed hlin of w hat his Junl
tor had done, thus showing him thut
lie hud no criminal participation in the
deal. Hoi h Iip tuid Wilson stoutly deny
thut they know anything about the
case further than thut Lander sold Huff
some old furniture und they helltd
carry II to Huff's house.
Wilson says that Johnson's club house
Is a crap and poker joint and as he
Hummed It up himself "a house of
miscellaneous ills."
THE LORD'S DAY AT
CAMP JOHN GIBBON
Concluded from Page 1.)
through the ordeal first at 7 a. m. a
favorable hour, as from 9 o'clock until
evening the heat has been Intense.
While thl evenins there occurred the
exhaustions mentioned In the foregoing
Surgeon Fulton Is highly pleased with
the absence of any organic illness. Hot
weather or not, he says the men will
return home stronger and better for the
camp experience.
While the ofllcial returns show twenty-nine
men absent from the Third
Brigade, the Thirteenth contributes but
one absentee. This Is declared to be a
technicality which can be righted,
showing the regiment one hundred per
cent, strong. The Ninth has twelve ab
sentees. Not a little turmoil was caused In the
Thirteenth and Ninth regiments about
10 o'clock in the morning by the unsuc
cpssful effort of Lieutenant Jessup.
commander of the guard, and a squad
to capture a sweat board gambler. He
wus u colored man uud wus operating
his game on the river bunk, where he
was surrounded by a crowd of colored
rooks and servants of the Till. -entli
and Ninth.
When Hie guard swooped down on
them the sweat board man eluded ar
rest by hiding In the bushes. Six of the
players were captured; two of them had
started to wade and swim across the
river at a shallow point, hut returned
when threatened with revolver shots.
Kx-Oovernor Beaver's son Hugh and
Fred. Sliipp, of Harrisbiug. assistant
state secretary of the Y. M. l A., ure In
charge at the association's tent, which
is located just at the end of the brigade
camp und alongside the Thirteenth.
The Ninth, of Wllkes-Barre, held its
services there this morning; the Thir
teenth dispensed with any.
ARRIVAL AT CAMP.
It was a tired, weary and bedraggled
body of men that tumbled out of the
curs at Lewistowa Junctluii at 5 o'clock
yesterday morning. In ull the curs
there hud been certain jovial spirits
who did not. want to sleep and
Were just as considerate of others.
But eveiyune seemed to expect that
sort of tiling and submitted to it rather
than huve their olijectiuiis bring forth
a perpetual teasing by the night
hawks. It hud Just broken daylight but that
did not permit of what was really an
inspiring view later in the day. All
that could be seen wus a dense fog In
a long winding vulley whose depths
were known tu contain a fully equipped
camp for neurly 10.000 men. The order
"right forward, fours right" was given
and the men marched thut was ull-intu
what seemed a huge cisitein of vapor
but to eventually lind themselves in the
Thirteenth cump.
Lut-r it was different. As the sun
broke over the east, the clouds of fog
lifted, the wet stubble dried und
It whs seen that Hie cump
wus located in u spot which
seemed to have been created for
that one special purpose. In u broad
valley lined by rullimr hills, covered
with forest on the north and with cul
tivated farm laud on the south Is u mass
of tents sheltering the thousands of citi
zen soldiery, i in the "shoulder" of the
south or farm land hills is the division
headquarteis directly opposite the
brigade. Down the valley a hulf-mlle
away is thu camp of the First brigade,
and still further, ubotit a mile from
the Third brigade Is the First. On the
left of, division headquarters are sta
tioned the three batteries of artillery
and as many tnxips of cavulry.
PLOSK TO THE KIVKli.
The Juniata river winds and squirms
its way In seml-cilvular form down the
valley enclosing the three brlguiteH,
whose tents lie almost within a stone's
throw, of the water, while the division
headquarters on th" hill cuiiimulids u
view of all but the First brlgude which
Is located nearest to the town. A more
delightful and picturesque locality could
hardly be conceived, and from o prac
tical point of view the headquarters' hill
und the broad plain ait'oid splendid op
portunities for ull kinds of lnanouvct
Ing. From the time the Thirteenth arrived
here until noon yesterday there was
hiuch to be done towards inuklns things
snug und shipshape. The morning wus
wholly given up to thut kind of work,
burring the half-hour consumed In su
lutlng the colors which were hoisted on
a towering Hugs toft on the headquarters
hill ut 9 o'clock. Tills ceremony was
an Inspiring one, the three brigades on
the plain below faced and saluted the
stain and stripes while a suJute of 1!1
guns wus tired by Battel y B located
midway between the camp proper and
the tlag. Surrounding the llagstufl
were Adjutant Oenerul Stewurt com
manding the governor's stuff, und .Major
Oenerul Snowden nnd statt.
DICMAND FOR 1CF-.
An Instance of the greed for luxuries
wus Illustrated about 10 o'clock yester
day iiiuming w hen u lucky farmer with
a load of third-grade mud-pond ice ar
rived In cump. He filtered from the
left of the brigade line, which Is occu
pied by the Thirteenth, and nad no
sooner reached F street, the first, than
his vehicle was surrounded by a horde
of oilieers and men of the rank and file
who stripped the wagon of Its contents.
The farmer protested in vain against
the robbery. However, he received
ample pay for his property.
Yet nobody Is wanting for the neces
saries of life, each company competing
with the others In setting a good table.
I'p to Thursday night the advance de
tails which began to arrive Wednesday
practically ran things to suit them
selves in town. The locnl constabulary
wus made to preserve order and Gen
eral Snowden ordered the Lewlstown
company into active self ice to provost
the town. The result was that six
young and turbulent American citizens
in blue uniforms were landed in jail.
They were released Friday noon.
Surgeon Fulton and Assistant Sur
geons Parke and Keller prescribed for
over a hundred stomachaches, cramps,
and kindred complaints before noon of
the first day In cump. None of the cases
were critical, most of them arising from
the hard night's ride, cur sickness and
absence of the accustomed kind of warm
cooked food.
