nct'cpttinco In the following letter which
he rend nt the conclusion of his morn

Tg the Olllcirs nnd Members of Ponn
Avenue Baptist Church, Scranton. l'u.
Dear Ilietliren: I havo been Infoimed
of tlie official action of tho church, taken
at the sptclal meeting held Wednesday
evening, Juno 8, iw, in which the chuieli
formillv, vet most cordially, extended
to me a call to the pastorate. Your ac
tion lias been ver much appreciated and
1 desire to thank .sou for vom Christian
conlldence, and for the honor tonfeired
b this Invitation to become our pastor.
Such a rclitlt i.shlp must not be en
tiled Into, however, without maturo
thought and most prayerful considera
tion. Your kind Invitation of last April
to serve the chinch as pastoral supply
for a few weks, nnd my coming to bo
Tvlth vnn fur n rnntt. ih ininlfnstK'
of tho I. mi's leading nnd beond all
human planning.
Your cordial greeting. our Christian
cne'iuraKcni'nt, and llnally vour most
earnest call to tho pastorale have lm
piessnl me deeply. The great Held ftir
Christian labor, the appaienl readiness
to respond to the Master's call for service
on oiu pail, anil the splrilu.il feivor
and gieut unnnlmlty of the olllelal hreth
len anil membership of the church In ex
tending the (nil. all Indicate a providen
tial guidance, and make plain the duly
ot the hour.
RICHLY HL13SSKD.
I have ben richly blessed In soul-wln-
nlng In the special evangelistic work to
which I Inve given the past two enrs of
ministerial effort, nnd feel that I ought
not to relinquish that work which has
been manifestly owned of lioil. Tho
Held of inir church activities doubtless
afford great nppot untitles for evange
listic work and 1 nm led to believe that
you will encourage jour pastor In all his
evangelizing efforts, and occasionally
geneiousl (moid him pilvllpges ot soill
wlnnlng service with brother pasto:-,
when the home Interests will not be ma
terially affected thereby.
Aftir laieful letlectlon nnd earnest
praer for dhlne guidance I have been
led to believe that it Is tho will of our
Lord nnd Master that I should accept tho
call of the church, and 1 do hereby pray
erfully end reverently accept the oftlce
which you have prayerfully and with
Chiistian coidlallty tendered me: thus
entering In to bo a sharer In the faithful
libors of the men of God who htvo
tollrd with ou In otlur days and to be a
co-ialmier with jou In the harvest fields
of l?nd In the on-coming days.
Willi this aiceptance I tan but assure
vou of ntv heart's best service. Having
no siltlsh aims oi ambitious I shall be.tt
jn all my mlnlsttv to glorify Ood In tha
winning of sails to Him, and the up
building cf Ills church, and the spread of
Ills kingdom.
From oa I skill ever hope to receive
Christian encouragement, prayeitul s.vm
p.tthy and ln.val and loving support in
all my service for Clulst and the chinch.
Pravlng that we may thus be one In
lnteiest. one in licit t. and one in ChrNt
Jesus our l.oid, alwavs bearing each oth
ers burdens nnd sharing each others
Jos. I am, beloved In the Lord, your
pastor. Robert V. Y. Pleice.

been excelled in a large Scranton

We've been entirely out of these for nearly a mouth.
Everybody was. The new tariff aud the war scare
caused importers to bring iu less than ever before.
Consequence was everybody sold out iu less than no
time. We've been tryiug for a mouth to get more.
Searched all New York city in vaiu, At last we are
glad to get a lew. Be here today. Only 120 in all.
That's all we could get. Cost us nearly double what
they did before, but we've only raised prices 15 cents
each over old prices.
