Too many inlnlsteis, he t-ald, nie un wot thy of their calling, because they attend too closely to the nit of pleach ing while neglecting the delving in the tint lequlied of them A minister who would giasp the plow and lelease his hold lacked the characteristics essen tial to the cloth: they showed too much of the priest and too little of the piophet. Dr. Crafts hoped, however, that the tlility-llve inlnlsteis would attend the mnfeience to be lield In the Young Men' Christian association building at 8 o'clock this evening, when the leform woik In Scranton would be discussed. The meeting is to be attended also by the lay committee, who weie to act In conjunction with the pastors, and by ofllceis of the young people's societies, the Woman's Christian Tempeiance union and tho Young Men and Young Woman's Christian associations Yestei day's meetlnff at the Young Men's Christian association was at tended bj about two hundred peisons.
