THERE'S A REMEDY'
FOR THE DISTRESS
Present Financial Crisis Considered by
Rev. Dr. C. At Giffin.
SERMON ON A FCPILAR SUBJECT

The sermon In Kltn Park church last
night was iharaclerlMie of the pas
tor, Uev. Dr. C. SI. Ulflln. In text,
tlicnie and subject mailer it had to do
particularly with the present financial
distress from n preacher's standpoint.
but was calculated to Interest the pro
fef d mid iMii-luofcsi-ed Christian
Ulik".
tr. iliinn's argument was that there
was too much supposed political science
and its consequent bickerings and too
little brotherhood ami cheer. He eui
phasized the peculiar American trait
that makes it possible to recover from
any kind of national -uisfortune and
argued that the present financial and
political crisis had been brought about
by too much haste and too little moder
ation. He was sanguine that all pres
ent troubles would be soon righted.
"And now I exhort you to be of Rood
cheer; for there shall be no loss of any
man's life unions you, hut on the ship."
Ai ts xxvti: 22, wa the text. He said,
in part:
CAST ASIHH FHAft.
In Case of ureal distress, critical situa
tion, the uivseuce of impending calamity.
I here III one thing that m.tist be east aside
fear. At such Hints cheer is the duty of
the hour, and it is raids HUggcstloii that
I am going 10 ih run' out to you tonight.
It is not a violent remedy: It is a peaceful
one ami Is in keepliiK with a minister's
luty that ot ih-iiik a peacemaker, noi a
peace disturber.
1 him nut voin-.' to tell von the theoretii- il
miudy: we must leave tlijit to the political
scientists, though a mollis their number
tiiere set ms to lit too many counsellor
nud not enough omforters. In behalf of
my class I shall sniscst the advice ot Paul
and not of supposed statesmen. He was
not a mariner, lint he was a good coun
si llor. Various remedies, technical, must
of them are mentioned, but we must turn
uIde from till of them ut tlie start and
"lie of good cheer.
First, it Is necessary to linn me cause.
If tlie cause was Hod's will there would
be mi need for trying to trace It, but the
condition of this case Is very much like a
physical pain; we M't the pain and we
scurry around alter the doctor to tind out
what is means. It is the most Idle kind of
nonsense to imagine that the thing wnica
lias been must have been. That's plain,
isn't it ? To make It iilainer: II is non
sense to suppose a tiling which has been
must have been IT the cause cuu O" re
moved. If that Is possible there Is no
wisdom In snying that the cause was a re
suit of a natural law.
IT'S HANK IDIOCY.
Vet we find people I don't know what to
call them who say. "Well, it is soniel hinir
that could not have been prevented; ut
the storm rage lu all Its fury: I will weath
er it as best I may." Hank Idiocy!''
We are here to say in just a few niniplo
words Just how tins present stale of un
rest was brought about: There has been
:i lack of nioderat on. The sober thought
of the American pulpit has said to you
long ago, ".Move slowly." Americans,
however, don t like moderation, impa
tience" Is a natural characteristic; there
is too much of foolish dash, rush ami
push; too much foolhardy headlongiiess
without a proper ami previous siuuy oi
consequence. The best way out ol It is
"prudence;" perhaps a better way of put
ting It would be by uslnn the word "econ-
omv in Its broad sense, economy oi re
sources, of t nctK.v. of tliotitilu. or wealth
if you please. A wise expenditure on a
certain outlay is commendable, but too
much liaiiKins on to what we nave noi

n deal of consolation in that. Sonic one
savs, "It couldn't be worse." So'.' You

Inif about. If a furnace, spark hums a
serious and painful wound in your tinner,
thul's bad: but if It burns your eye out
that's worse. Isn't It? We can lessen our
disiresss and briiut cheer to our souls ill
staiiilini! bv one another: defeat selfish
ness; on board the ship let the sailors,
the passeiiKers and the soldiers siand b.
totfcihe". Brotherhood Is not idle tiiik
in times like these. 1 tell you these are
times when the poor emphasize Hie fact.
throut,'l' a condition brought about thrcuu-'li
the forced hurry or business and nuance,

I'm not endorsing communism, tliouisii; I

HXTITLKD TO IiHUAD.
Every man Is not willing to work, but
everv man who Is williiiB Is entitled to

that's God's law. He charitable; be sen

Some of you say there Is so much misery
in respectable households that there is
notliliu; left. Oh yes there Is: There's Hie
left. There's a man who can't Invest his
services; he's Rood, capable, but out of

FORTY HOURS' DEVOTIONS.
Ilegnn nt St. John's Church, South
Side, Vcftcrday Mornins.
Forty Hours'-Revotlon was beRUti at
St. John's church. South Side, at tlie
10.30 mass yesterday morning and In the
evening at 7.30 there was a sermon and
benediction of the blessed sacrament.
The maiRS was a solemn high one;
Rev. J. A. Mnflltt, was celebrant, Kev.
H. P. Hurke was deacon, and Rev. D.
W. McCarthy, of Mlnooka, was sub
deacon. There was such a lai-Re con
Kation present that over 200 worship
pers had to kneel on the steps of the
thurch and In the yard."
Rev. T. F. Kernanl of Parsons,
preached the sermon. at 7.30. Only mem
listened to him; tonlpht women only
will be present and Rev. F. P. McNally,
of the West Side, will preach. There
will be no sermon tomorrow night:
benediction will be imparted at 7.30
and then confession's will be heard. It
was necessary to set aside last nlpht
for the men and tonight for women .be
cause the church Is too small for the
large congregation.
Rev. Father Kernan's text was.
"Have Pity on Thy Own Soul," Kccle
slastius, 30 chap.; 24 verse. You may
often have beard of King Solomon, he
said, the richest king that ever lived.
All his furniture was gold, every article
on his table was of gold, and sliver was
as plentiful In his palace as the stones
in the streets. If the speaker were to
say that each one liscntinir to him is
I riclitr than ever KiliK Solomon was.
they wotil.l be stuitlcd. What! t as
rich as that king? One would ask
w ho Im i lml in Kirinents of poverty 8nd
at times lias not half enough to eut.
I'NDKUVAU'E OL'K SOl'L.S.
I'.ut It is true, said the sneaker, for
we have immortal souls, and if we are
startled at placing our weHlth above
Solomon's, It Is only because we hnve
undervalued our houIs. How does fjod
value the soul, God who is nmnixteht
and the ruler of the boundless uni
verse? Take, for instnuce, the Btlff
necked and rebellious Jews. Despite
all their orimes and even tliouph they
were laptinff into idollavy, still Hod
selected them as His chosen people,
pave them innumerable Rifts. took
them from the darkness of slavery and
boniias;." and established them in the
happiness and peace of the Promised
Land.
Not for iIl the Kold, silver an1 pre
cious stones of Kins Solomon or of the
world, or of a thousand worlds, would
tiod shed oven one drop of Mood: but
for even one soul He was A iilhiK to
shed the lust drop, it Is wise to learn
from un otu-iuy. The dcvH Is the great
est enemy of human souls. St. Peter
says he jroi's about like a rourinR lion
seeking whom he may devour: a hun
gry lion nee kiiiR for souls, and tho devil
would pive nil the wealth of the world
to damn one soul.
. LAYS WAUY TilAPS.
He lays wary traps to enmesh them,
through nride, through covetousncss,
fame, honor, and the vnnletles of the
world. A man will make the excuse
that he has no time to attend to liis re
liRlous duties, but the Fame man has
time for worldly pursuits, amusements,
pleasures, nnd so on, but no time for
his soul. The speaker ui'Red his hear
ers to learn from these lesson's Up
value of tlieir souls.
After the sermon the announcements
were mnde by Kov. Father Moflitt.
Masses this morning will be at C and 7
o'clock; tomorrow morning at !i, 7 nnd
S o'clock: nnd on Wednesday morniuir
Pt 6. 7 and 8 o'clock. Confessions to
day nnd tomorrow will be from 10 to
12. 3 to n. and from 7:30 until all are
heard in tho evening.

preciatively welcomed by her associates
ami the members of the church and con
gregation. She sang a special solo, last
evening, entitled "lie Will Forgive." It
whs a marvelous rendition of u niiignlll
cent composition, which deservedly se
cured emidisi tie encomiums. Though there
have been many occasions for commend
ing ibis young lady's unusual voice and
methods, it is very evident that her voice

FARR CAPTURED
THE DELEGATES
Lively Contests in the First Legislative
District Saturday.
FIVE CANDIDATES IN THE FIELD
Of the Thirty-six Delegates in the
District Mr. I'arr Figures That
Ttvcntyone Have llcen Fleeted to
Support llini--t oiivcution Will Ito
Held Tomorrow Alteruoon in St.
David's Hall.
John U. Van; 21 Isaac Jones 11:
M. K. Sanders. 5; K. K. Tiobuthan, 0;
H. D. Jones, 0.
This Is the result as nearly as ran
he ascertained of the Republican
primaries conducted Saturday after
noon in tho First legislative district to
elect delegates who will tomorrow nom
inate a candidate for the state legisla
ture. Mr. Parr's victory Is noteworthy. Ho
had four opponents each of whom was
well-known anil well fitted for the du
ties of the olllce. Hesides this, Mr.
Purr has served three terms lu the
legislature and the North Knd was
clamoring; for tho. plum this time.
Yet, he won.
Tlie Interest which Patui'day's pri
maries aroused In the district has sel
dom, If ever, been equalled. In nearly
every district there were five sets of
delegates and each polling booth hnd
quite an army of workers. A strong,
persistent fight was kept up from 4 p.
m., when the polls opened, until 7 p. m
the closing hour. At many of the dis
tricts conveyances to bring out the
crippled, the thoughtless, or the tired,
were used. Politicians in the district,
of every station, wore concerned In the
battle, and, many business and pro
fessional men were, also, arrayed on
one side or the other. The poll was a
large one.
FIFTEENTH WARD SUHPRIrfR.
The Fifteenth ward was somewhat
of a surprise party. Mr. Farr's dele
gates received the majority of votes
In each of the two districts. Mr. Ro
bathan was defeated in his own dis
trict by Mr. Farr.
Isaac Jones secured the delpffates
from the Fourth district of the Fifth
ward. This wus all he received from
the West Side. Mr. Sanders cuptured
the only district of the eighteenth
ward. In several of the West Side dis
tricts Mr. Sanders' delegates did not
appear on the Held' at all.
In the North FJtid, notwithstanding
the home candidates there was a
spirited fight. Isaac Jones secured
eight of the eleven delegates, Mr. San
ders taking the remaining three. In
the Dutch (lap district. (Third district
of the First ward), the Interest wns
greatest. Mr. Jones secured tho dele
gates. At midnight the Jaokron street cor
nel's showed a memorable gathering
of the friends and workers of the can
didates. The crowd of men seemed
never to diminish and it was far into
the Sabbath when the excitement had
subsided.
MFKTING OP CANDIDATES.
Candidates Farr and Rohathan met
ill the crowd. Compliments were ex
changed. Jlr. Robathan readily con
ceeded Mr. Farr's nomination. It wus
about 1 a. m., when some unruly vote r
proposed three cheers for the success
ful aspirant. This someone was the
only person who did cheer, however,
as the police quickly checked the over
flow of exhliberance. The convention
will be held in St. David's hall at 2
o'clock tomorrow afternoon and will
be attended by the following delegates:

Crystals to lie Provided with New
Equipment for Thnt Purpose.
The Crystals will soon be equipped
with one of the most modern of life
saving equipments. Pompier ladders
and life belt. A resolution providing
for the purchase of this equipment Is
now before the mayor nnd it is expect
ed will be made operative in a day or
two.
The ladders nre used for scallns the
outside of tall buildings. With two of
them It is possible to attain any height
a fireman dare climb and as the life
belt, which accompanies them, makes
the scaling free from the danger of
falling there is no cause for a fireman
hesitating to ascend to any desirable
height. The ladders are nothing more
or less than a single pole with an arm
at the top to anchor it on a window
and cross pieces at convenient distanc-
i es on .which the firemen, climb, Uy
pulling the ladders up after them and
raising them to a slid higher window
it Is possible for any number of tire
men with a single ladder a piece to
clamber all over the outside of any
building.
In making a rescue, however, a con
tinuous line of ladders is used. A tire
man then can carry the rescued per
son to the ground or slide hitn down a
rope, by means of the life belt.
OFF FOR A 0000 TIME.
Twelve-Year-Old Hoy Conies Hither
on n Lurk. '
While standing on the corner of
Lackawanna and Penn avenues yester
day ufternoon about 4 o'flock Patrol
man Sloat had his attention attracted
to a lad of about twelve years who
was spending money at a peanut stand
with the freedom of a prince. After
watching him for some time he said
the lad Unshed a roll of bills and think
ing it rather suspicious that a young
ster should be going about with so
much money in his pocket, he called
him over nnd started to question him.
The result was the discovery that the
boy Is undoubtedly a runaway and that
he stole a large amount of money from
his home.
He paid his name was Charles Van
Horn, son ot Kdward Van Horn, a
truck farmer of Dorrancetown, Lu
zerne county. His father,, according lo
the story he told Captain Kdwards.
gave him a roll of money and permis
sion to come to Scranton and spend a
few days. He came on the trolley cars
as far as Duryea, walkrd to Mudtown
and from there rode to Scranton in
company with a boy who works In H.
K. Kulp's livery. This latter boy, who
Is 17 years of age nnd gives the name of
Frank Shear, was caught In Riley Kd
ward's stable as he was putting up his
horse. He and the Van Horn boy were
put In different rooms and questioned
alternately. Their stories conflicted In
so many details that the police were
assured that they were up to some
wrong doing and decided to hold them
both.
The Van Horn boy had J'M.DO on his
person. He bought a whip for fifty
cents on the road to Scranton and gave
Shear $2 for driving him. from Mud
lov n. The police communicated with
the Van Horn boy's father and also
with Shear's employer, Liveryman
Kulp.
