Rvcnlng Service;.
TWO BRILLIANT DISCOURSES
In tho Morning Ho Took Ills Text
from the l'lillllpplnns"Tho Words
W'ota 'Tor Mo to IjIvo In Christ."
Wo Hnvo Coino to n Time When Wo
Hnvo Liberty Without Organlzn
tlntfWo Need Orcntilzntlon with
I.llierty.
Itev. 1 M. Davenport, ot Yonkcrs, N.
Y occupier the pulpll at Kim Pntk
church yesterday, und preached two
brilliant sermons. Ills morning text
was from l'hllllpplnuB; 1:21, "For me to
live Is Christ."
Tho speaker pave a terse nnil graphic
view of Paul nnd of what the words
meant to him, not In the Hush of
youth, but nfter thirty years' service.
To him Christ was a hidden force, in
visible, powerful, but ever present, not
an opinion, but an experience. Wo
have had In church great organization
without liberty. We have now come
to tho time when we have liberty with
out organization.
It is said the multitude of sects Is
necessary because of the difference of
opinion among men. but when there
were gathered together those 120 men
in that upper room there was no
thought of a religion for the cultured
and another for tho Ignorant, one for
the rich, another for the poor, one
for faithful Matthew, another for
doubting Thomas. In this country
there are 143 denominations and we are
getting away from the spirit when we
think of Christ In another way than
that in which Paul conceived life In
Illtn. What we need is organization
with liberty, In loving loyalty to Christ.
There Is such a difference In the In
terpretation of life, and yet there are
no manners worth having that are not
learned from Jesus Christ; no pleas
ure nor Joy like that of His service:
no treasures such as can be found In
tho heaven of His love; no knowledge
as broad ns that to be learned of God.
The speaker then gave a beautiful Il
lustration in which Christina, tho little
daughter of the dead Gustavus Adol
phus, of Sweden, was made queen on
the testimony of her heirship as pro
nounced by a peasant who saw In her
the lineaments of her great father.
He said In closing:
"Tin; world presses very close to us
to see If we are Irving' in the charac
ter of Jesus Christ. It wants to believe
that for us to live Is Christ. O Paul, you
grand old soul; you lived as you wrote.
Jlay the llfo of Him who inspired you
work In us, touch our lips and our
hearts until one day we shall be like
Him."
REV. DR. CHAMBERS' SERMON.
Spoke .Horning nnd livening in Green
ltidge l'rcsbytcrinn Church.
The services at the Green Ridge
Presbyterian church yesterday gave
very little evidence of the vacation sea
son. Rev. Dr. Chambers, of the Cal
vary Presbyterian church of New York,
preached morning and evening. His
morning text was taken from Acts,
1:25. "That he may take part of this
ministry and apostleship from which
Judas by transgression fell, that he
might go to his own place."
Dr. Chambers spoke earnestly along
the line of personal characteristics
and Inherent nature as arbiters of hu
man fate, rather than education, train
ing and external circumstances. He
exposed the fallacy of many time-worn
maxims. An unusually large and ap
preciative audience greeted him both
morning and evening.
This is vncatlon month both for the
organist, Miss Salome Becker, and the
choir. However, through the efforts of
G. F. Whittemore, a pleasing Innova
tion in the way of music was furnished
by fourteen male voices. The .jlngers
were principally from Elm Park, Penn
Avenue Baptist church and Green
Ridge, and included Messrs Warlike,
Conrad, Caswell, Powell, C. A. Whitte
more, F. A. Beldleman, H. H. Beidlo
man, Gruener, Roberts, Haverling,
Mong and Kllpatrick.
Miss Christine McMillan, of Kansas
City, presided at the organ.
CONVENTION REPORTS.
.Mndo in Simpson M. E. Church by the
International Delegates.

league conducted the evening service
at the Simpson Methodist Episcopal
church last evening. The choir loft

form was decorated with palms and
plants. The electric light standards on
either side were trimmed with the
United States and British colors, the

tlonal convention held nt Toronto, Can.

ored by tho Chautauqua salute. A

tions were given out for Epworth
work. William Long spoke of the third
day, giving as its main Import a day
ot Inspiration. Miss Rachel Jones con
cluded the reports with a paper on the
last day. This day wns one of fare
well und yet It was the best and prob
ably most enthusiastic of the conven
tion. The pastor, in a few choice words,
presented the society with a largo en
grossed copy of the league pledge to
bo placed In a conspicuous place In the
league rooms, Tho copy was neatly
framed and placed upon a half-size

GIRL IS DROWNED

tho Afternoon with Her Grnnd
mothcr. Little Hannah Blanch, a Dunmoro
child, was drowned In Roaring Brook
yesterday afternoon within cnll of her
grandmother's home, nnd before tho
distracted gaze of several young com
panions who were powerless to save
her. Tho Blanch child was 9 years
old, and n daughter of Anthony
Blanch, of 11C Bloom street. Dunmore.
Yesterday she bade her mother and
father goodbye and stnrted away to
spend the afternoon with her grand
mother, Mrs-. Glnley, who lives near
the Erie and Wyoming Valley tracks
at "Bunker Hill." About 4 o'clock
she and some little girls of the neigh
borhood began playing along the banks
of Roaring Brook, which (lows at tho
foot of the hill near the grandmother's
home.
The brook, swelled to quite a tor
rent by the recent rains, offered great
allurements to the children, and they
had rare sport as they traversed the
banks nnd watching the departure of
sticks thrown into tho rushing, whirl
ing water. They scampered over tho
rocks and banks until they reached d
deep pool about E00 yards north of the
Pennsylvania Coal company offices nt
No. 6, the pool where the Blanch girl
was to meet her dentil.
FELL IN THE POOL.
There the water's black-looking sur
face and apparent depth caused tho
girls to pause. It enticed the Blanch
child to approach the edge of the
waters, to reach which she was obliged
to go cautiously along some largo and
slippery rocks.
One of the rocks sloped to the pool's
edge. A false step was mnde and tho
little one slid Into the water and to
her death. Her companions screamed
and looked about them for help. No
human being was In sight, and if there
was a friendly pole or stick at hand tho
children were powerless to get It within
reach of the drowning girl. They saw
her white face come once to the sur
face; then appeared an eddy where
she sank, and the pool had claimed
its victim.
The two ran crying to tho grand
mother's house nnd told what had hap
pened. J. J. Glnley, an uncle of the
Blanch girl, ran to the pool. He waded
Into it nnd found the body lying In
about four foot of water. Dr. George
Brown was summoned. Before he ar
rived efforts to resuscitate the child
were made 'but proved Ineffectual. The
physician arrived to only view a dead
body.
CORONER NOTIFIED.
Coroner Lonsstreet was notified of
the accident last evening and will In
vestigate the case this morning.
As recently as Friday, July 23, Denis
Crane, a South Side boy, was drowned
in the same stream at the dam near
P.lver street.
MOSCOW YOUNG MAN INJURED.
Thrown Violently to Ground While
Alighting from n Freight Train.
Thomas Moore, of Moscow, was seri
ously and probably fatally Injured In
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern company's yard yesterday. Moore
Is a young man 20 years of age and rode
to this city on a freight train.
When alighting in the yard he was
thrown violently to the ground and
sustained an ugly scalp wound and a
severe Injury to the back. He was re
moved to the Moses Taylor hospital.
Last night the hospital authorities were
unable to say whether or not Moore
would recover as they had not "been
able to ascertain the exact nature of
the Injury to his spine.
From the fact that his lower limbs
are paralyzed.it is surmised that the
Injury to the spine is of a serious na
ture. EXCURSION OF THE ELKS.

WANTS HIS MONEY REFUNDED.
Attorney Yidnvcr Brings Suit Against
the Scrnntou Hnilwny Company.
Attorney Nathan Vldaver lias
brought suit against the Scranton
Railway company to recover the sum
of twenty cents, which Mr. Vlda
ver paid to one of the railway com
pany's conductors Friday night. Tho
proceeding were begun before Alder
mnnl Fuller Saturday.
Mr. Vldaver was one of a party of
four who saw the Wild West show
Friday night. After the performance
they got on one of the trolley cars
bound for tho central city. Mr. Vlda
ver paid the fares. After waiting for
some time for the car to start Mr.
Vldaver ascertained It could not pro
ceed to the central city on account of
the flooded condition of Carbon street,
and with the members of his party
alighted near the Carbon street cross
ing and walked up the Delaware and
Hudson tracks to tho central city sta
tion on Lackawanna avenue.
Before leaving tho car Mr. Vldaver
made a demand, upon the conductor
for the return of the fares paid. The
conductor refused to refund. Believing
that his twenty-five cents was unlaw
fully retained, Mr. Vldnver determined
to test the matter legally, and hence
brought suit.
FOUR PASSED EXAMINATIONS:
Result of First Test of the New Course
oT Study.
Four passed; three failed. That was
the result of the first final examina
tions conducted under the new rules
establishing the standard that must
hereafter be attained by those who
will be admitted to practice at the
Lackawanna bar.
The examination was conducted by
Attorney E. C. Newcomb, John M.
Harris and R. A. Zimmerman, the
board appointed by tho court. The
examination was conducted wholly In
writing, nnd was very rigid, as may
be inferred from the fact that nearly
one-half of those who entered failed
to pass.
At present the members of the ex
amining board receive no compensa
tion whatever for their services, but It
is said the judges favor a change,
whereby the exnminers will receive
proper remuneration for their arduous
labors. In some of the counties of this
state the members of the examining
board are the standing masters of
chancery, and In others some similar
method is employed by way of compen
sating them.
NEW TERMINUS AT GREEN RIDGE.
