MR. GUTS ADDRESS
ON MARTIN LUTHER
Historical Sermoa of the . Pastor of
Grace Lntherau Church.
LUTHERAN DISCIPLES' LIFE WORK
His Power and Bold arts Before -Maa
and His Humility Before GodHe
Died but I.lvrs Today and, Mr.
ift Says, was the Urentcst Charac
ter (irrntnuy Kvcr Produced.
An address on "Martin Luther" was
delivered last night by Kev. Foster U.
Olft, pastor of Grace Lutheran church.
His discourse was an historical one in
which he cited Luthertt fearlessness and
power before man and his humility to
l!od.
The text was' from Kphesians, 11:8
"For by grace ye are sacred, through
faith and not of yourselves; it is the
gift of Hod." Mr. Gift said:
I use this passage because. It is so in
earably connected with, and so closely
interwoven into the I'aith, life and work
of .Mart In Luther. It was the "soul pow
er" which upheld him. which guve him
courane and boldness In the presence of
the anti-Christ. "The Just shall live by
faith." This was the star of hope, of as
surance, (he enslcn of peace. It was the
weupnn with which he sundered tha
shackles of error, of false faith, of perse
cution and with which he gave light,
peace, rest, emancipation and life to the
world.
Tonight we -seek to learn something
about Murtin Luther, the Information's
chief apostle. Who was he? What did he
do? What motives Inspired him? What
did he represent? Was he able. Godly
pure, holy? What lessons can Ialearn
from his life? Hut like the true mariner
on the great sea, we must take our learn
ings so that we may know the spiritual
lattltude and longitude in which we are
sailing the age and Its chief character
istics. THE REFORMATION.
We know how corrupt and unscrlptural
the church had become In the time of Leo
X. The people were kept In Ignorance,
the soul fed on husks the doctrine of
works. The church hud forsaken the tf.ie
faith, lost true apostollclty ami Cathol
icity. The Iteforruailon "rebuilt the al
tars" of the church's childhood, restored
the true faith the doctrine of free salvu
tion through faith. In If) the Augusberg
confession was akpled. The belief in
purgatory was denied.' Apostolic succes
sion, a secular priesthood, the infalli
bility of the pope, the doctrine of works,
of penance, fasting and Indulgense were
cast aside for the Scriptural doctrine,
"Justification by faith alone."
Amid the fiercest of pap.il opposition
this true doctrine was established. No in
quisition, not the burning of Huss and
Wlcllf, not the eloquence of Eck, not the
diet at Worms, not the pope's bull of ex
communication, not the voice of Charles
the emperor, not the Indifference of the
craven Erasmus could stop the onward
inarch of the movement. Clod was for It
and "If God Is for us what can be against
us?" It wasn't Luther who fought the
corrupt papacy. H was God.
Martin Luther was a miner's son born
nt Klsenlaben, German, Nov. 10, 143. His
parents wer poor In earthly goods, rich
In true nobility, piety and righteousness.
They had their "treasures laid up In
heaven." The boy went to school at
Mansfield and Madgeburg.
He begged his bread by singing on the
street. Madam Cotta, a pious woman,
pleased by his voice and demeanor, took
him into her home. To this he attributed
his tlrst impulses of true ambition. Praise
her! Her little kindness is spoken of
wherever the name of Luther is known.
It may have been the making of Luther.
It pays to be kind, lie kind to one anoth
er, charitable, loving. Help the youths
of our land, encourage them, point out
to them the way to usefulness to Ood.
Your influence is Immeasurable, endless,
limitless.
Lt'THER A MONK.
Luther become a monk. Why? To
save his soul. Territled during a thunder
storm he vows to become a monk. He in
tended to study Jurisprudence, but God
had another place for him. "Ood moves
in a mysterious way."How did he try to
save his soul in the monastery? By fast
ing, by penance, by ascetlsm, by praysr,
by rigid discipline. "I choose for myself
twenty-one saints (think of It) Invoking
three every day. My body wasted away
by fasting and watching. But I could not
satUfy my soul. No wonder "by grace
ye are saved." He later went to Rome.
"I greet thee Holy Rome." (Rome wasn't
very holy at that time). He climbed "Pi
late's stair case," he looked on "the heads
of Peter und Paul" and on the "handker.
chief of Veronica." He worshipped the
saints. If Rome ever had a loyal and
sincere son it was Martin Luther.
Hut his soul troubled hlml He had not
yet learned that "the Just shall live by
faith." He was disappointed because he
couldn't pay for his salvation, he couldn't
earn It. He hadn't learned yet that
"Christ paid It all" and that we are saw 1
"by grace through faith." The church
fed him on shells and husks, on formality,
externals.
He becomes a priest and later a profes
sor at the university, While he studied
at Euifnrt he discovered a complete
Bible for the first time. You see the Hlblts
was kept from the people. Now light
seemed to come down upon his soul. Then
Btanpius, a noble man better than his
church said to him, "1 believe In the for
giveness of sin." All these things were
revelations to him. The Bible is a "lamp."
a "light"," "Ood's revelation of Jesus
Christ," the "mlrrpr In which we see
Christ." It is our guide, the "sword of
the spirit." Luther didn't have the sword
how could he keep the devil from crush
ing his soul. Hu got light, peace, rest
now by faith.
Prepared by experience, by suffering, af
flictions, a soul hunger satlstied, some
thirst quenched, a dark soul lighted up,
a dead spirituality made alive, on October
31, lul he nulled the memorable "Theses"
on the church door ut Wittenberg. The
conflict has begun, the papacy on Hie one
plde, God on the other. Now follows
stirring events. "The Lelpslg Disputa
tion," the disputation with Cardinal
Cujctan. Melanchton enters the conllii t
Frederick the wise defends Luther,
Zwlngle In Switzerland champions the
truth. The pope excommunicates Lu
ther, The Wort burg exile follows. Henrv
VIII. of England opposes the cause. The
Bible Is translated into the language i t
the people. Jn 1G30 the Augusburg cunfes.
sion is adopted and thus marks the vie.
tory over error and a false faith.
Luther died In 1M6, peacefully, calmlv.
resignedly, trusting In Jesus Christ, but
he lives today. His work lives. He Is re
spected, honored, loved by the world. He
liberated the soul from error. Hp put u
h9 t into religion and gave faith its
proper position in Christian doctrine. He
restored the Bible and the family altar.
Luther was the greatest character Ger
many ever produced. "He had the bold,
ness of the battlefield, the song of the
musician, the Joy and care of the parent,
the skill of the writer, the force of tha
orator and the humility of the true Chris
tian." Fearless before man, humble and
meek before the cross.
I close with an illustration of the secret
of his power and boldness before m:in
and his humility before the cross. This
Is the key to his work and life. He say:
"Should any one come to my soul and
ask, 'does Martin Luther live hero,' I
would sav: 'No, he moved out to make
room for Christ, who moved In.' "
"It Is not I that live, hut Christ who
llveth in me."
COMFORT FOR THE HUMBLE.
One's Works Are Judged hv Power
and Opportunity,
To the despondent christian who felt
that his humble lot gave him but little
opportunity to do C4od's will, a sernrui
of much cheer and comfort was preach
ed last ni?ht in Elm Park church by
Rev. Dr. C. M. Giffln. His thought was
that one's responsibility In doing good
was regulated by power and oppor
tunity. The text of his discourse was quite
appropriately taken from the story
according to St. Mark (xiv:8) concern
ing the annotating of Christ by Mary,
the sister of Lazarus. "She hath done
what she could." The standard of
mankind, said Dr. Giffln, should not
discourage those whose means and pos
sibilities are limited. On the world's
balance sheet a little Christian act
may be recorded at the foot of the list,
but when the list is before Ood for
transcription in His register He may
turn the list upside down and record
it in that order.

AMUSEMENTS.
The Boston Daily Advertiser, one of
the most conservative Journals in the
country has this to say of Rosabel
Morrison's production of "Carmen"
which was given its first performance
In the "Hub:" "The general scheme
of the play naturally follows somewhat
the opera, and lavish use was made
of Blet's music. There Is In the charac
ter of "Carmen" as It has been sung,
a magnetic fascination for the public
of which It will probably not tire for
many years, and the leading Imperson
ation has been that of Madame Emma
Calve. For an actress who has never
seen Mine, Calve to Invest her perform
ance with so much of the essence of the
accepted character is certainly an
achievement, and the audience accept
ed It as such. The groupings and melo
dramatic scenes were handled with
much adroitness, and the production
and scenery were excellent." "Caa
men" will be seen at the Academy of
Music tonight and tomorrow night.
The pome great company that nightly
presented that foremost of American
melodramas "The Great Diamond Rob
bery" to enthusiastic audiences in New
York city during Its long stay of five
months there, will be seen on the com
ing presentation of A. C Wheeler and
K. M. Alfriend's great play at the
Academy of Music Wednesday and
Thursday night. The success of its
New York engagement stamps "The
Great Diamond Robbery" as one of
the best modern melodramas. In col
laborating upon this work Its brilliant
authors have constructed a piny whose
notion deals with types well known In
Gotham, of political and social life and
Introduces as one of the leading char
acters the political boss of the school
so familiarly known in all large cities.

VALSE S0NQ FROM ELAINE.
It Will lie Hnnt at Tonight's Concert
nt Frothington.
One of the numbers for tonight's con
cert programme at the Frothingham
will be the beautiful valse song from
the opera "Elaine." The opera was
written for Mme. Melba. who created
the title part, and was produced at the
Metropolitan 0'iera house in New York
for the first time two years ago. Al
though the opera ItseH did not create
the success which the talented French
composer deserved, the Valse song bo.
came st once popular, and was sung for
two seasons In various concerts by Mcl
bn and Ulnuvelt.
Mis. Kathryn Thiele will sing this
difficult and charming composition at
the concert nn Nov. 9. and it will be a
treat to the lovers of bell canto and es
pecially to those who sing themselves
to have the onportunlty of hearing .t.
The mere fact that such singers have
oddod this vocal gem to their repertoire
indicntes the genre nf the song, for both
Mr.ies. Melba and Hlauvelt are strictly
coleiatura sinters, as was Ihelr famous
predecessor. Pattl. and no s'neer not
pos ss!ng n voice of high range, to
gether with perfect cultivation, wouid
attempt to sing it.

Saturday morning the court house
clock stopped nnd JeveW Gross who
has charge of the county's time piece
was sent for to explain the cause. Mr.
Gross made an investigation in the
clock tower nnd found that workmen
who are making repairs on the tower
had shoved a beam against one of the
dials In such a way as to make It Im
possible for the hand to move and con
sequently the clock was compelled to
take a rest.
The beam was removed and the
hands again began to revolve in their
accustomed way.
IMPROVEMENTS ON
THE COURT HOUSE
Contractor Expect to Have Two Court
Rooms Ready la i Moatb.
WORK WAS D0.NK VERY RAPIDLY
Contract Was Awarded on August 8
and Conrad Schroeder Immediately
Pnt a Large Force of Men at Work.
New Court Boom for the Superior
Coart W ill Be Known as No. 2.
The contract made by the county
commissioners with Conrad Schroeder
for the third story addition and alter
ations to the court house culls for the
completion of the work by the first
of the new year, or else the pay
ment of a penalty of $J0 a day.
But now the most pressing question Is
in regard to how soon the court rooms
will be ready for occupancy, so that
the Federal building need not be used
for criminal and civil courts and the
common council chamber of city hall
for grand Jury sessions.
There isn't much doubt but that one
of the court rooms will be ready in a
month and Contractor Schroeder is
making strenuous efforts to get both
ready by that time. Workmen are now
engaged in putting In the celling in
both of them and the plastering will
be started inside of a week.
No. I court room has undergone no
change, except that It was unavoid
able that the celling had to be torn out
when the third story was hegun with.
A new ceiling will replace it, which is
being put in now. The temporary roof
put in to keep nut the rain is now an
swering the purpose of scaffolding in
the two court rooms.
JJROGRESS OF WORK.
Foreman Adam Sf hroeder said yes
terday that the temporary roof will be
torn down In ten days, and after that
the painters will begin. Old court room
No. 2 has been lengthened by tearing
out the partition which stood between
it and the small room which was used
by the tipstaffs and will hereafter be
known as No. 3.
Across the corridor the law llhrary
and the grand and petit Jury rooms
have been combined Into a court room
for the superior branch, when that
body meets In Scranton, and at other
times It can be used as court room No.
2. There Is more to be done on that
than on the other two rooms, and it
will be let go until the last.
The bids for the work were opened
by the county commissioners in August
8. Conrad Schroeder and E. 8. Will
lams were the only two bidders. The
former's bid was K1.4u7. and the let
ter's was t6a.2". Mr. Schroeder was
awarded the contract.
That very day he started In on it,
by making a survey of the place and
taking note of what was to be done.
The next, morning timber and material
for a temporary roof were hauled to
the ground and before nightfall the
place had the appearance of a lumber
yard. As soon as a temporary roof
was in the top nf the court house was
taken down and got out of the way.
All this went along quickly and the
magnitude of the task was not so ap
parent to the passersby along the
streets.
SYSTEMATIC WORK.
Mr. Schroeder had a small army of
men at work and each had a certain
purt to do and was doing It.
To the casual observer the work ap
pears to be nearly done. There is not
much more of the tiling to be laid on
the roof. The symmetry of the struc
ture has not been spoiled by the addi
tion; the general opinion Is that it has
been enhanced In appearance. All nf
the work has been dune in a thorough
ly substantial manner.
Mr. Schroeder had the contract for
the masonry and the Berlin Iron Works
of New Berlin, Conn., had the contract
for the Iron work. Mr. Schroeder was
empowered by the county commission
ers to supervise the construction of the
Iron work and see that it was done In
a thorough manner.
Idrt Is being hauled from the end of
Wyoming avenue to the court house
grounds to raise It about IX Inches.
When the work on the building and
grounds is completed the people of
Lackawanna county will have greater
cause thun ever to be proud of their
temple of Justice.

"Sllke" Keeley, proprietor of a pool
room, has been held in $300 bail by
Alderman Howe to appear before him

assault and battery preferred by John
M. Htirke. an agent for the Mosler Safe
company. Uurke and Keeley engaged
in a fight In Lohmann's Spruce street
cafe early Saturday morning and In
the row the end of Burke's nose was
bitten through. The Injury required
the services of a physician. Dr. Louis

In he Hotel Jermyn during Saturday.
Keeley and Uurke had been consid
ered friends up to a few weeks ago
when they had a difference concerning
payment for a safe which the latter
had sold Keeley. Friends prevented
violence between them until they met
Saturday morning and had opportunity
for fistic encounter In Lohmann's.
Eye witnesses disagree on the details,
but It la said Keeley quarreled with
Charles Connors who. with John Ne
lis. wan la the party, and that Burke
threw his arms about Keeley who
started to thrash Connors. The mix
up was fast and furious for a minute
between the gambler aud safe man and
ended in a close embrace out of which
Burke emerged with his nose bitten.
They were separated and Burke went
to the Hotel Jermyn, where he boards,
and Keeley to his home on Quincy ave
nue. A warrant for Keeley's arrest was is
sued by Alderman Howe and was
served by Chief of Police Holding. The

SPRAQ IN THE CROSSING.
South Side Street Car Derailed on a
Down Grade.
A street car on the South Side line
jumped the track yesterday afternoon
where the narrow gauge track from the
Meadow Brook to the National breaker
crosses It on the Cedar avenue grade In
the upper part of the Twentieth ward.
A sprug in the crossing was the cause.
There isn't any doubt but that the
sprag was put there by some miscreant

It Is a rule of the Traction company
that cars inward bound are required to
come to a full stop not nearer than
twenty feet to the crossing, and the
conductor must give the proper signal
to go ahead. The cars cannot get up
any headway to amount to anything:
before reaching the crossing after the
stop nnd for that reason there was
only slight damage done when this
car struck the sprag yesterday.
Traffic was delayed for nearly an
hour and the car had to be towed to
the barn for repairs. It was crowded
with passengers, but no one was hurt.
