There wns n special service of song
Inst evening at the First Presbyterian
church. Mrs. Thick'. Miss Joseph and
Messrs. Howen and T)ownltig sang
most pleasingly a number ot selections.
The closing number, "Uphold I dive
You a Mystery," was exceptionally
well rendered.
Itov. Dr. McLeod gave an excellent
address full of thought, and Inspira
tion, on the subject of "Character
Uulldlng." Ills text was from t Cor.
Ill: 10. "Hut let every man take heed
how ho bulldeth thereupon." He said
there nre many rough stones In the
qunrry of humanity which need the
polishing which religion gives. They
have a place In the building, for that
they owe thanks to the church of Ood,
but they nre not fulfilling the design
of the architect. They have been
spending their time unwisely, have
been using poor material.
Christian truth Is the only material
for building up sterling Christian char
acter. There Is room In the pulpit
for a variety of styles nnd room In
the pew for a variety of tasks, but
there Is no room In either pulpit or
pew for fake doctrine in nnv essential
point of Christianity. There was room
In the Apostolic church for many dif
ferent men. There was room later
Chrysostom and Constantino, for St.
Jerome and Anastasius. for Knox and
Luther, for Cardinal Newman, Faber,
Hodge and Smith. There are churches
high nnd low and broad, all recogniz
ing .Testis ns n true foundation nnd
professing to be founded thereon.
THE DIFFERENT SPKAKKHS.
We have various men In the pulpits,
some who use chiefly theology and
logjo. others history and rhetoric, oth
ers whose speech Is solid scripture, nnd
those who employ intellect ns well as
the heart. There are eve n those who
rant and bluster, and there are peo
ple who like that and who fill the
churches. There nre gold, silver, prec
ious stones, wood, liny, stubble: one Is
good, another Is bad. They are dif
ferent doctrines perhaps, or perhaps
different characters. Some are worth
less as a spiritual force, merely wood
en members, who would go to prayer
meeting twice a year. They are straw
men In a spiritual sense. They may
be good citizens but are not useful In
the church.
There are those sound and good, but
not very brilliant perhaps. Some nre
gold, nothing at all in which Is alloy.
Some are precious stones. Christians
so richly gifted as to' lie jewels In the
church of God and In the kingdom
hereafter. The whole scheme of the
Christian religion Is character the one
thing in the world that will not ndmlt
of being put on the "market". It Is
character that will stand the test. To
Insist upon tills truth is not to Im
press Individuality. Each man l.s to
he sul generis.
IT DOES .MATTER. .
Opposed to this are those who say
no matter how crude a man Is or how
crude he may remain, provided he Is
sincere and enthusiastic. Hut It does
matter much. Character is more than
enthusiasm, far more than sincerity.
The kingdom of Satan Is not going to
be conquered by men's sincerity any
more than Cuba Is to lie captured by
soldiers and sailors enlisting. They
must go and take it.
There are those who will be saved
themselves as by fire, but there are
others who will be saved with their
building. The difference will then he
seen between right nnd wrong build
ing. Sincerity may save a man's char
acter, but not prove his wisdom. A
man must be right us well as sincere.
The speaker remarked: "There are
those who will say with Job '1 have
escaped as by the skin ot my teeth.'
I myself will be glad If I can do this,
but to have unstnrred crowns In the
kingdom is not to fulfill our duty. Wo
are God's building. Let us not forget
that. We are using far too much of
stubble and not enough of gold and
precious stones. Let us build for etern
ity." Preparatory to the approaching ded
icatory services which will bo he'.d ::ext
Tuesday evening at the W.isl.burn
Street Presbyterian church, and In a
measure a part ot these services, a
special erv!ee was held last evening
at the church. Several specially pre
pared anthems were sung by tho choir.
Hesponslve selections nnd Scripture
lessons were rend and the pastor, llev.
J. P. Moffatt, preached a special ser
mon, it beliiB fie tlrst of three which
will be delivered during the continua
tion of the dedlcntory services.
His suMect was "Presence of Ood
in His Holy Temple," and lie selected
his text from Ha'mkkuk II; 20, "The
Lord Is In His Holy Temple, let all
the earth keep silence before Him." In
his Introduction the speaker outlined
the condition of man's mind, brought
about by environment. Tho shop, rail
road olllce, home, etc., all exerting their
Influence, but above all the chureli rep
resenting the Lord's bouse. He divid
ed his sermon Into three main divis
ions, viz: What the presence Implies;
the designs of the presence, nnd what
it should produce. In a masterly man
ner he then clothed thin skeleton with
the proofs and moaning of the text.
Concluding he compared the splrltunl
meaning of the coining dedication with
Its earthly significance. A large nudl
enee listened to the sermon.
This evening's services, which have
been styled "Thanksgiving Services"
will be very Interesting, and a recep
tlon to the former pastors of tho
church will follow.
PATRIOTIC SEHVICES.
In honor of the membera of Lieu
tenant Ezra Orlllln post, No. 139, Grand
Army of the Republic, n special patrio
tic service was held at tho Simpson
Methodist church last evening Instead
of the regular preaching service. Tho
post, attended In a Hody, Captain A.
II. Stevens commanding. The dignn
loft was artistically 'draped with flagfl,
two largo American flags Hanking and
from the center hung a small Cuban
flag. Flowering plants, placed here
and there about tho church, lent their
fragrance.
The pastor. Rev. J, R. -.Sweet, pre
sided and special music was rendered
by tho choir led by Chorister W. W.
Jones. Selections ww iilno rtvn b3
tho choir quartette nnd sextette. Miss
Mlnette Harlow played two violin soloa
accompanied by her sister, Miss Anna
Harlow on the violin, and Walter
Davis, pipe oigan. Miss Gertrude Fel
lows feelingly recited "The Ruaty
Sword."
The addresses of the evening were
make by Profesosr George Howell, su
perintendent of city schools and W.
Gaylord Thomas, Assistant district at
torney. They spoke respectively upon
the "Soldier In Peace," find "The Sol
dier In War." Uoth gentlemen are welt
known and able speakerti nnd did Jus
tice to their subjects.
Professor Howell In handling his sub
ject touched particularly upon the car
dinal virtue of a soldier either at peace
or war, that of patriotism. He t- ok It
to be a sentiment but little understood.
It wns not one entirely of feel'tig, but
was the outcome oiC constant action
along well dellned lines; of dut'ei well
done and sucrlllces made towuid grod
ends. It was an attribute of character
which grew strong only as l!-e man
himself realized Its Important!'.
It wns not to be the best so far as
nationality business success, etc. was
concerned but to bo the best as a
man."
Concluding he spoke of the ehniiffc
which wns caused by coming of Jesus
Christ Into the world. That "pence
on earth nnd good will toward men,"
was the best for all and that ns "God
reigns," so "Liberty enlightens the
world."
Mr. Thomas in taking up his sub
ject spoke of the bnrbnilty of war
fare This barbarity could, however, be
Instigated by the action of the sol
diers themselves and by the cause be
ing a Jurtt one. Justice and n righteous
cause had been the lteyknote of nil
American wars heretofore as of the
present one, nnd success had crowned
our arms In the past so it must now.
lie paid a tribute to our brave boys
engaged In the prroent eontliet nnd
did not doubt that a magnificent vic
tory would be ours.
Commander A. 15. Stevens, In be
half of his fellow members of the post,
expressed their appreciation of the ser
vice nnd the honor tendered them.
A collection was taken for the prose
cution nf tho Y. M. C. A. work In the
field among the soldier boys and the
services were concluded with the bene
diction pronounced by the pastor.

PEOPLE'S PHOHIRITION CONGRE
GATION SHOWED LITTLE MERCY
FOR 'IHE SUNDAY NEWSPAPER
READER AND 111CYCLE RIDER.
THE TWO EVILS ARE FAVORITE
AVENUES FOR THE OPERATIONS
OF SATAN AND HE IS MAKING
GOOD USE OF THESE MEANS.
"Sunday Newspapers nnd Sunday
Rlcycles" wns the topic of a discourse
last night by Rev. Dr. Levi Bird, of
the People's Prohibition church. News
papers nnd bicycles on Sunday and
some newspapers nnd some bicycle
riding on weekdays were ranked with
the saloon and simitar evils ns having
much to do with modern sin.
"Remember the Sabbath day to keep
It holy," Exodus. xx:S, was the com
mandment and uncompromising text
upon which Dr. Bird based his nd
dress. He began his sermon by dis
claiming the Importance of the true
calendar Sunday. The text referred to
the Sabbath, not ns n day hut ns an
Institution it meant that and nothing
more.
Sunday newspapers nnd Kundny bi
cycles were not much above tho sa
loon, cigarettes and Sunday base ball
and focft ball as roads to ev.ll. In con
demning the two former he did not
wish to bin me the editor or the manu
facturer or others concerned in their
development. They wouldn't help
desecrate the Sabbath unless there was
a demand for it. He was sorry to ob
serve that much of the fault rested
with pious hypocrites who got up tit
daylight on Sunday to read the papers
but who are more than angry on those
mornings If their wives tried to tempt
them with nice pancakes to get up be
fore 9.20 o'clock.
If the devil ever did monopolize an
American industry, he certainly has a
good hold on bicycling. Somehow the
devil always gets the best of every
thing. The speaker would not be sur
prised If God heaved the Rockies and
other mountains from their bases and
disrupted the Republic as a punish
ment. The devil uses pure spring water
for beer-making and will go to Mars
as soon as Edison opens communica
tion with that planet.
SCANT JUSTIFICATION.
Dr. Bird did not condemn the wheel
as an Instrument of usefulness or
pleasure, but 99 out of 100 cases of
Sunday riding were wrong nnd most
of them were leading the country's
young manhood and young womanhood
to evil and perdition. Young men who
would have been bishops nre riding to
hell nnd drunkenness; young women
and girls nre riding to worse than
death. The practice has so affected
church-rrolng that a preacher can tell
the condition of the roads from the
size of his congregation.
Some day these sinners will "call on
the locks and mountains to fall on
them nnd hide them from the face of
nn angry Cod." A bicycle can't go
fast enough to get away from God's
Judgment, thou'ih every dick of tho
cyclometer takes the rider away from
the cross of Christ.
The wonderful, humnn power of the
Intricate perfecting printing press wns
another agency, Dr. Bird said, which
the devil was making use of. The
newspapers of Seranton were about
as clean as an:- he knew of, but the
devil was getting his finger In litera
ture In general and In current news In
particular.
It Is the policy of t-o so-called pro
gressive newspaper to scour tho earth
for scandal and crime nnd to avoid
telllnjr "f the strides of Jesus Christ.
Editors and newspapermen In gen
eral were about ns clever and about
as good a crowd of fellows, as a class,
as the men who bought tluir product.
In Seranton whatever good was In pol
icies, measures and writings, was
ruined by the pernicious principle of
Sunday publication. It Is not a neces
sity from any standpoint.
DR, BIRD BOUGHT ONE.
The speaker once bought n Sunday
paper. That was at the time of Gar
field's assassination. The purchase had
compromised his conscience and ho
had been sorry ever since. He did not
think any piece of news could warrant
a desecration of the Sabbath by pub
lication between Saturday night and
Monday morning.
The Bible wns one authority that one
day's rest In seven was imperative.
Nature wns another authority for a
periodical season of rest and was suc
cessfully used as an argument by the
political physicians of the French na
tion In prescribing an antidote for an
overdriven economic Institution.
Dr. Bird severely arraigned the over
abundance of hemlines and the pauc
ity of news In the New York yellow
Journals ns a lying fabric on a par
with the work of the two greatest liars
in the country, the manufacturers of
alleged pepsin gum for stomach dis
orders. The noise of special Sunday
newspaper trains, delivery wagons nnd
street sales lie leferred to as attend
ant evils.
Finally, the nowspapc-v and bicycle
evils could be condoned on only tho
ground that there was no hereafter.

AN INTERESTING ART COLLECTION.
John Willnrd Untight Exhibits Some
or Ills Recent Work.
From an artistic standpoint one of
the Interesting events of years Is the
exhibition John Wlllard Raught Is
making of some of his recent work In
his studio In the Republican building.
Mr. Raught, as l.s well known, is a
native of Dunmore, and while his work
has outgrown the limits of any local
fame, It Is, however, n. mater of real
pride to all who have followed his
career and ills brilliant but quiet, un
obtrusive march to the front ranks of
American painters. That Mr. Ruught's
work Is better known In Paris and
New York than In Seranton is surpris
ing only to those familiar with the
modest, unassuming manner In which
he has pursued the even tenor of a
life devoted completely to whn Is best
nnd truest and most beautiful In art.
His studio presents a supreme at
traction to all who comprehend the
message of the beautiful In human
creation.
The pictures are mostly landscapes
of French and American subjects nn
old Normandy church, a vista of sun
shine along the salty marshes of Long
Island, an Indefinite but strangely
beautiful study of foggy plains these
nre the subjects which apepal to his
love of the poetic. What strikes one
ns the most dominant note In all of the
pictures is the beauty of conception,
accompanied by a firm, free technique
that Is never ut a loss to express on
canvass the most lleetlng, Intangible
Impressions of ever-changing nature.
Mr. Raifcht seems not to have been
Influenced by an overwhelming ambi
tion for large canvasses, for some of
the most Interesting nnd marvelous of
his works nre small In size but con
vincing, however. In their sincerity and
frank simplicity of subject. No one
Interested in works of real art should
miss seeing this attractive and beauti
ful little exhibition, which is wthout
a vestlce of sham and which will be
peculiarly Interesting to Serantonnns.
A BRASS BAND AND BBER.
Thrv Wore tho Accompaniments of n
Hull Grime.
At the base ball game yesterday be
tween the South Seranton and Ml-
nooka teams, played on the new
grounds of the former club, two Inno-
vations were Introduced; that of having
a band of musicians In attendance to
discourse music ot Intervals and the
erection of two canteens, where beer
was sold. It wart the opening game at
the grounds. The members of
South Seranton club engaged the
est band to play at the game
a Tribune reporter disclaimed all res- ,
ponslmllty ror the beer. They said ;
they protested without nvail against
the liquor refreshment feature.
Short selections were rendered by the
band when each side were returning
from or going out to the field and at
every brilliant play made. O'NIell,
the professional who pitched for the
Minooka boys, wan battel In bad
shape, and Ueed a new comer ftom
Hazleton was put In the box for tho
South Seranton club and retired 13
men without a hit.
The score wns 231 in 'avir of Ihe
South Fcanton teiin. It was ?.ilimated
that the attendance nt the game wus
'.',500 people, and In that throng there
weie many who made frequent visits
to the ennteen.
The gnme scheduled for next Sundny
at the grounds Is Hnrmonles vs. South

Owen Flynn, of Chestnut street, Dun
more, was shot In the left breast by
his 13-year-old brother, Harry, ut 0.30
Saturday evening while they were
practicing nt a target with a llobert
lille. The bullet pussed within nn Inch
of the heart and Is lodged below tho
shoulder blade In the muscles of tho
back. The wounded boy wns In good
condition Inst night, but It Is by no
means certain that he will recover.
Dr. Onrvey has hopes, though, that the
boy will get well.
The brothers hud been shooting nt
the tnntet for an hour. One or them
would stand near It and brush off this
marks ntter the other shot, and they
took alternate turns nt the gun. Harry
was at the target when the bullet struck
him, nnd neither of them know how It
happened: whether Hnrr.V stepped In
front of the target, or Eugene shot
wide of the mnrk.
After the bullet struck him hi' made
no outcry, not .wanting to nlarm his
mother. Both boys walked to Dr. Gai
vey's olllce, and when the doctor ex
amined him and stopped the flow of
blood, they walked back home ngnln.
During. the night he became wenk. and
the doctor spent n long time Heating
him. He slept well along toward morn
ing and yesterday forenoon, and It Is
believed his strong constitution will
save bis life.
His father, Owen Flynn, who died a
few years ago, was a well knuwn Dun
morc citizen.
