PRAYER OF SIN
"LET US ALONE"
Theme of a Discourse at the Scraatoa
Street Baptist Church.
MR. MATHEWS STIRRINQ SERMON
ire Shows That a Soul fan lie So
Completely Possessed of Kvil That
It Will Resent Ally Kflort to Better
It's Couditiou--tin Is Conscious of
It Condition, but Is Prone to Lazi
ness It Plead but Never Prays.
Tha nnlu nraiup ll'hteh the Bible ac
credits t Satan, was the theme of a ser
mon by Kev. J. P. .Mathews at tne
Scrunton Street Baptist church yester
ay mornlitR. . The text was "Let l's
Alone." taken fp'iii Mark 1-24. Mr.
Matthews said:
"The Scriptures nowhere better pre
sent the great and abundant wealth of
the resources of iulinlte power In tho
help and sulvation of man than In the
marvelous history of the acts and do
ings of tin' divine character that we
luieily call by the name of Jesus. The
new testament rs specially devot"d to
this revelation of the richness of divine
help as It is extended to man from the
Iulinlte Hand and It gives us in detail
the minutius of the events that cluster
around the central racts giving it
character, breadth and individuality,
us incidents of Cod's mercy and Ciods
succor coming to man in moments of
i n,i errant need ana

rare oc-cnslnns that the splendor of the
powerTf Cod and Its absoluteness is
s nnltiiglv revealed. For when He
wHls. "veil the almost all-powerlul evil
compelled to abandon Us prey and
o yield its grisly hold uton Its deprav

presence of ciod. who for the present of
time, only suffers evil to do Us woik
before that great and unutterably hou
when death, bell and sin shall all alike

It N well to mark one peculiarity
thut btands facing us with great ami
singular Import as we enter upon the
unalvsls of this theme: and that Is:

ture of siif'h n contest prevuu. nnu -
iuh Whlih one? It is the whole
mission of the Bible to show.
This text Is a singular one or. rath
er, it reveals a singular fact that is
possible for n person to be absolutely
possessed by a spirit of evil and to be
so permeated with Its presence that
the human soul itself becomes one with
the evil, und so identified with it as to
speak for It. and to defend It. and to
long for the partnersnip to rummm-.
l.rST AND PI.EASl'BR.
Tbis mnn. born with a soul, wlllua
spark of C.od burning within Him as
a conscience was yet iiuuiumru nn
His own devil nnd so loved His society
thut lie did not wish or desire any
chituge. So he moans out and in the
presence of divine help. M.et us clone,'
he cries: don't disturb, oh Christ! the
spirit within me. Ministers to my
lusts and my pleasures, and my world
ly enoynients: "Let us alone!'
This man's case was and Is a case
easily analyzed and easily understood.
Divine science gives the solution ami
the key. it is the effect of sin within
i lie nature to emasculate It. to rob it
of Its own nolde native powers, to en
feeble the soul, to make it so weak to
the controlling sin that It dreads even
the hand of help, cireacis tne midline
I C ...Dlnrutliin 111
nni! tne very imm "i .-
spiritual health and It cries out In
weakness. 'Let lis alone!'
"Who has not seen this wonderful
nnd startlingly illustrated In the very
condition of the ones who have given
themselves up to the control of the
devil, spirit of Intemperance; men,
who. with grand native powers, have
gone down, down, until they have
weakened under the dire possession of
that particular devil, until m tne gut
ter they have wailed out when the
hand of help hns come. 'Let us alone!'
I'se this illustration, but as an il
lustration of the possession of evil, for
all evil nets In the same way and hus
the same effect to weaken and emas
culate the soul. By what name can we
call this condition or tne soul nut a
condition of absolute spiritual laziness
a laziness of sensuality springing
from sin and moral weakness and It
becomes at last the condition of half
the race. What a graphic picture or
the effect of personal laziness does
Solomon give in relation to the want of
foresight and exertion in tnis lire for
the future. Yet a little sleep, a little
slumber, a little folding of the hands to
sleep 'so shall thy poverty come as
one that traveleth and thy want as an
armed man. What does that mean?
The spirit of Industry stands before
the lazy ores of earth, then goes out
the cry, "Let us alone.'
LAZINESS.
"There is a soul laziness that takes
a little sleeD and a little more slumber
and folds its bands together and says:
Let us alone, ine and my evil. Let us
alone for .lust a little while longer;
tomorrow It will be more convenient
to be saved; tomorrow. I will have the
spirit removed; tomorrow, I will see
the great Physician ana get help.' So,
In deadly procrastination, there comes
ultimately the fate that Solomon pre
dicts. Of all lnzlness. spiritual or phys
ical, that Is the purest and the com
pletest and the most Infernal; that
wrecks at last the soul..
"There Is one startling peculiarity In
this one devil of my text. You will ob
serve that he is not an active friend,
but n passlve one. He. speaking
through this dying wretch, says: 'Don't
disturb us; we have done nothing
against thee, oh Jesus of Nazareth, oh,
let us alone.'
"It Is wonderful how persistently and
yet quietly all evil has tiiat one plead
lug and thut one speceh and still more
wonderful thut there are thousands of
.so-called smurt men and women who
are willing to let it alone. So cried
that infamous and most satanic evil,
slavery, once as it irovered with its
dark hand half of a continent, ami
blighted beneath its shadow as lovely a
land as the smile of Cod could rest
upon, and yet up from Its shadow, and
out from its ruin. Us devil plead for
rest and quiet, and there were thous
ands willing for 'sweet peace' sake to
echo the dismal and pathetic; cry, and
to let It alone!
"And so says now, tho murderous
fiend that has almost the whole of this
fair laud in his tenacious grasp, whose
dire and tremendous presence In its
ruin und degradation, and power of
wrecking is more palpable to human
sense than the law that it defies. Yea.
even the demon of alcohol can lie in the
midst of Its corruption and sin and
pollution and. with a voice low and
husky with carousal, wall out. 'Let ua
alone, please let us alone.' There are
millions ready to echo the' prayer of
sin, minions or thoughtless and un
thinking 'good people" who. In their
misiuKen synmathy, would stand be
tween a sorely troubled and devil
ridden world and Its saving God!
BAD LITERATI'RE.
And so says the devil of pernicious
literature In our very midst, yea every
where; the literature that In papers
und magazines and In pictures on
every hnnd. calling itself art. and es
thetic. Is obtruding its blush less front
in all of Its brazen nakedness even in
the homes of Christians in spite of
their morality .or religion. He is a
devil that seeks to ruin thiit most
precious of our public virtues, public
modesty; that hangs over bill boards
and covers them with what Carlyle
calls the 'unspeakable,' and at all
points and in all ways. Is seeking the
ruin and smirch of the soul life and
child-life in our very streets. Even
this one, In a soft voice, can cry out In
an exigency 'Let us alone!' and find
his friends to help him cry. I
"And, oh the demons who control the
Sunday sacrilege, the ubiquitous gam
bling, the easy, quiet frivolty and
worlilliness In the church and out of the
chinch, and the social Impurity that Is
sapping society In a thousand ways, of
its Christian honor and grace and sim
plicity. Oh! as these demons go down
into the dust beneath the gaze of pass
ing Cudlike scrutiny, and moan out
'U-t us alone!" how many, oh, many
are willing to moan with them, that
prayer of sin?"

WAS A FIELD DAY
IN LOCAL POLITICS
Two Important Aleetings and Two Dis
trict Primaries.
IT ALL OCCURRED ON SATURDAY
Rcpublicau Candidates Consult.
Democratic County Committee
Fixes a Day Tor Their Convention.
The Third and Fourth District
Primaries Are Hcld--Two Conven
tion Tuesday and Two tor the
Tuesday Following.
Saturday was a Held day in politics. The
Republican candidates met for the purpose
of completing the county committee, the
long delayed meeting of the Democratic.
county committee was held, and the prl
marles In the Third nnd Fourth Legisla
tive districts occurred.
. The meeting of tho Republican candi
dales was, of course, a private one, and
nothing was given out further than that
the naming of campaign committees was
the principal business that brought them
together. An executive committee, com
posed of thirty-two members, two from
each of slxten sub-divisions of the county
ami a standing committee composed ot
one representative from each election dis
trict will form this fall's council of wnr.
The names of these committeemen will be
made known in a few days.
The Democrats owing to the tardiness
of their chairman and the general lack
of Interest manifested by tho party in
general are now compelled to do things
In a hurry. Saturday night, upon a two
days' notice, the county committee, or,
rather, a small percentage of that body,
met in the St. Charles and decided to hold
the primaries next Saturday and the
convention on the Tuesday following. The
meeting was attended by Chairman James
J. O'Neill, Secretary John K. Uaffney, M.
J. Cadden, T. C. Melvln, Deputy I'nlted
States Marshal John J. Shea. Attorney Jo
seph O'Brien, County Treasurer Schadt.
Attorney W. W. Baylor, ex-Sheriff John
J. Fuhey, J. J. O' Boyle, E. F. Blewltt,
Oeorge tiriswold. Michael llannlck, Tay
lor; D. J. Campbell. Michael J. McAndrew,
Arehbald; K. J. Lynett. E. J.Ward.Mocjjie.
It was decided to hold the convention In
the morning at Music Hall In order not to
conflict with the Third Legislative dis
trict event, which Is set for tho afternoon
In the court house. It is possible und
quite likely, however, that the convention
will run Into the afternoon, as an at
tempt will be made to revise tho laws
regulating the manner of electing dele
gates to the state convention and this Is
liable to bring out some dissension. The
committee also decided to hnve the Chi
cago platform swallowed in Its entirety.
Popullstlc trimmings and all. The fact
that some of the county committeemen
themselves have openly repudiated the
platform brings the belief that this con
templated move of the committee may
meet with some opposition.
"The Democrats or the county will soon
hold their convention to nominate con
gressional nnd county candidates, but
so far nothing definite as regards the
head of the ticket has been determined
upon. The nomination ot Mr. Connell
by the Republicans of Lackawanna
county has had the effect of making tha
Democrats look with anything but a
longing eye upon the nomination. They
realize that .Mr. Connell is the strongest
man who was ever nominated by the
Kepnblicans for congress and that he
will undoubtedly sweep the district by
a larger majority than was ever accord,
ed a Republican for the same position.
There are many Democrats who hold
prominent places In the party who have
Very seriously considered tho advisabil
ity of having tho Democratic convention
endorse the candidacy of Mr. Connell.
This plan has found much favor with
many Democrats who realize the sterl
ing qualities of the Republican Camil
la te and who nro also of the opinion
that he Is simply invincible this year,
so cleverly has he succeeded In harmon
izing the warring factions of his parly.
These men who favor endorsing Mr.
Counc il, recognize what a ditlicult m-.it-
ter It would be to do this If there Is any
Democrat of recognized worth who
wants the nomination.
The contest, if there Is nny such, for
the nomination has practically dwindled
town to Colonel F. J. ! Itzslmmons,
Nathan Vlduver and D. J. Campbell, Of
Ihe three, the last named Is considered
the most formidable candidate. Inasmuch
ns Mr. Fitzslnimons is making no par
ticular struggle for the nomination, and
Mr. 1 idaver has too recently blown ucross
the prairies to us. People who muke u
business of politics say that -Mr. Camp
bell would only enter the light with the
hope thut Bryan muy be elected president,
In which event he would have a good
chance to succeed Postmaster Viindllng.
They admit thut he would have no chance
of defeating Mr. Connell, who will be
nicked up by the solid Republican and
gold Democratic vote of llie county."
