MAIN AVENUE TRACKS.
Company's View of Its Rights,
Probably Correct.
The Scranton Railway company has
hern permitted to resume Its double
track laying on South Main avenue
Tho work was stopped Friday after
noon by Street Commissioner O'Boyle,

becnuso of the protests of abutting

According to tho opinion of City So
licitor McGlnley the Scranton Hallway
company can lay a double track on
South Main avenue. All thnt was
ngnlnst the company In the piesent
caue vvns the nbsencc of Mayor n.illey's

furnished a bond of ?3,000 Saturday.
Meanwhile there may bo some oppo

REV. W. L. THORPE
IN DUNMQRE CHURCH
PRESIDING METHODIST ELDER
MADE AN OITICIAI, VISIT.
Pteslded Over tho Quarterly Confer
oum Saturday Evening nnd
Pronehed During Yesterday's Reg
ular Morning Setvlce Which Was
Preceded by n Love Teast Rev.
Van Cleft, tho Pastor, Preached In
tho Evening on "Lessons Prom the
Storm" Efficacy of Prayer.
I?ev. W. I, Thorpe, pieslding elder,
conducted Knturdny nlght'b tiunttcrly
conference of the Dunmoro Methodist
episcopal church nnd picnehed to tho
congregation yesterday morning.
During tln conference, llcv. A. J.
Van Cleft, the pastor, icported twenty
five new members. Daniel Powell, bur
gess of Duntnore borough, made a re
port as superintendent of the Sunday
school. Theie weio tepoits by A. 1J.
Haker ns recording ntewnid and clnss
leader, nnd bv Mi. Itltharda as treas
urer and class leader. Altogether the
business of tho meeting showed the
church to lie In n very active and pros
perous state.
Yesterday morning n Jargo congre
gation wan In the church nt 9,.,0 o'clock,
when began a love feast conducted by
Presiding Khlcr Thoipe. He preached
during the later regular morning ser
vice from the text "He not weary In
well-doing." Tho discourse was one of
much comfort and encouragement to
professed Clnlstlnn. The Lord's Sup
per was administered during this ser
vice. THE PASTOR SPOKK.
In tho evening Pastor Van Cleft
preached from tho text "It Is I, be not
afraid," Matthew, xlv:27, the familiar
words uttered bv Christ on the sea of
Galilee. The topic was "Lessons from
the Storm."
The first lesson vvns on prayer. Christ
always fortified himself through prayer
for tho work He had In hand. It was
a principle with Illm llrst, a practice
next. He pursued It not ns a chance
In His favor but as a firmly established
law of God, something prescribed and
laid down for Christians to follow. Its
Importance nnd efficacy had testimony
In the memorable prnjer of the Savior
on the mount when he spent the night
praying for His disciples.
Storms other than that on the sea
of Galileo furnish lessons. Hach has
some connection with spirituality.
Worldly storms, though Fccmlngly
haish and grievous, may bo turned Into
victories for the sufferer nnd the love
of God. Man Is constructed almost
without limitations nnd each victory
he acquires through tho best use of his
remarkable God-given powers Is an ac
complishment In testimony of his
Muker.
1WDEH. HIS CARL.
The storm illustrates that man Is
ninny s under tho watchful care of tho
Savior, who Is Interested In us and
who will come to our help In due time,
When the Savior comes wo do not al
ways recognize Him as did not tho
disciples when Ho was walking on the
sea. The disciples were moving In tho
direction Christ had told them to go.
It shows that one ran only hope for
salvation when seeking Him. It was
the having of Peter from the waters
when going toward Christ, by which
we learn that salvation comes to us
only through Him.
XTNIVERSALISM AND BIBLE.
Sermon of Rev. P. W. Whippen in
All Souls' Church.
Following Is an abstract of a sermon
by Rev. F. W. "Whippen nt All Souls'
church yesterday morning upon the
"Trustworthiness of the Bible as Con
taining a Revelation from God," It be
ing the third In a series upon tho "Five
Points of Unlversnllsm." The text was
II. Timothy ill: lfl, "All Scrlptuie, giv
en by inspiration of God, Is profitable
for doctrine, for repioof, for convic
tion, for instruction in righteousness.
The substance of tho sermon was thus:
Tho Unlvtrsallst tliurch believes in tho
Bible. We accept it ns containing tho
word of God and wo base upon it all tho
vital truth of our theology. We have
confldenco In It so great that we hesita'o
about denying any foim of belief. Wo do
not regard It us inlulllble but we think
that tho mistakes In It are not of a ch tr
ader to shako ono's confidence. Iniulli
blllty is not necessary to confidence. We
contldo in a great many fallible things.
Wo say tho book Is inspired. It Is God s
book ns Is no other. It Is not one book
of a class, not a book having some of
tno inspiration which we know, it Is u
book having all the inspiration There is
no inspiration any w hero else.
And this exceptional character of tho
Bible lies largely In tho fact that it eon
tains a tewlatlon from God. Tho Bible Is
not a treatise, not a dictation It was
written out of tho minds and hearts of
men, helped by God. Doubtless Peter
was right when lie said, "Holy men ot old
wroto as they wero moved by tho Holy
Ghost." Hut the revelation is In living
men more than in vv liters In the New
Testament especially the revelation Is not
what Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
wrote, but rather what Jesus of Nazareth
was. Christ Is tho revelation Chilst
is tho heart of revelation. That Is why wo
s'ly the Bible contnlm lather than Is
tho word of Ocd The ports of the lilblo
that give us Christ are pre-eminently
preelous.
We homr the Old Testament, but elder,
ly becauso It leads up to the C'hiist The
New Testament exceeds the old In value
pieelsely iih Jesus of Nazareth uxc, oils
Moses and Divld nnd Isaiah
Wo believe that the stories of Matthe.v.
Mark, Luke and John aro true We ac
cept the New Testament whin it tells
us that Jesus Is a being of mitchloss
worth, a being absolutely devoted to tho
good of many Wo accept the mlt.ieles
many of us the simple view of thm
that Jesus could do them not bee iumi'i...
co-operated with God and God with him
wo accept tno simple teaching of the res
urrcctlon and Baster as a day charged
with blessed meaning for us. We accapt
tho teaching that Jesus was sent to re
veal tho Father and to reinforce human
ity with the life of God We ronlldn In
the Book when It tells us that Ipsus is
tho Savior of men, nnd vve accept Its
assurances about lii.man destlnv io us
thi- Bible is definite above tho ultimate
vvelfaio of each soul.
The book tells us In many ways nhat
we should expect as tho outcome of God's
plan nnd Chilsta work, what wo should
hope for, what wo should sloiliy tho
Father for the complete salvation of ev
nrv human soul This phase of revelation
with profoundest gatltudo wo accept.
To the I'lilovrsnllst church tho Hlbln Is
a living book. Tho church honnu it,
leans un It, draws fiom It, ilnds the way
to God by means of It, nnd uses it to .m'
vanco oouls In tho way of 1 fc. The nt
topic will bo "The Certainty of Just
Uetrlbutluu for Sin."

REV. MR. LAUER'S
SILVER JUBILEE
CELEBRATED AT ST. PAUL'S
LUTHERAN CHURCH.
Twenty-five Years Ago He Man led
And About tho Same, Tlmo En
tered the Ministry At tho Ser
vices Last Night Congratulatory
Addi esses Wero Delivered by ft
Number of the Lutheran Ministers
of This Vicinity Other Features
of the Interesting Progiamme.
Twenty-five ycais ngo two happy
events ocelli red In the life of Rev. W.
C. L. Lauer, pastor of St. Paul's Evan
gelical Luthciait church, at Park
Place. The revet end gentleman was
united In man Inge and ordained to
the mlnlstiy of God within a few days
of each other. A little over twenty
live yenis previous he was born, and
yesterday these triple events were ob
served by an anniversary service at
his church. The affair was arranged
by the members of his congregation
and participated In by his brother pas
tors of the several Evangellcnl Luther
nn churches of the city and members
of their congregations.
The services which marked the an
nlveisary of three so inomcntuous
events In the Rev. I.auer's life wero
held last evening nt the church ot
which he Is pastor In lieu of the regu
lar seivice. The audience was veiy
large, taxing the capacity of the aud
itorium. The church choir ably assist
ed. Flowers were used In profusion
as decoiatlons. Rev. A. L. Ramer, Ph.
D., pastor of St. Mark's Lutheran
church, of West Scrnnton, presided
In opening ho read the Liturgical ser
vlce from Psalm 121. "Gloria Patrl"
was sung, utter which Rev. F. H.
Ehlnger, of Carbondale, read the
Scripture lesson. Tho first address
ancnt the purpose of the services wus
made by Rev. C. G. Spleker. pastor of
Trinity Lutheran church. His subject
vvns "The Christian Ministry," and he
spoke, In part, us follows:
MR. SPIEKER'S REMARKS.
"The Christian ministry Is Instituted
by God for the puiposo of proclaiming
salvation to men. Among the vailous
cullings there Is none that deals with
more serious Issues than the calling of
the mlnlstiv What Is the real woik
of the ministry? Theie nre pievalent
many fake conceptions of this calling.
The specific function of the ministry Is
the promulgation of the Gospel. It Is
not simply to win applause from a
largo audience, or to minister to the
purely tempoial wants or pleasures of
man.
"It Is a work In which God, rather
than man, must bo obeyed. The min
ister who has the true conception of
his calling will not measure his suc
cess with the common standard of
worldly renown, but faithfully pursu
ing his divine calling, will stilve to
woik acreptably ,to "His who wulketh
in the midst of' the golden candle
btlcks "
A passage of Scrlptuies was read re-
sponslvely, bearing partlculaily upon
the first two Darts of the til.de anni
versary. Miss Helene W. Randolph,
sMor of Rev. J. W. Rnntlolnh, pastor
of St. Peter's Lutheran church, sang
"Lift Up Thine Eyes." from Mendel
ssohn, with tine effect. A short ad
dress was then made by Rev. II. F.
Llsse, pastor of Christ chuich. He
spoke in a feeling strain of the duties
which befall those who are the head
of a household and more pui tleulaily
a minister's home.
Responsiv o reading concerning tho
ycais of Rev, Luuer's life was tead,
after which Rev F. H. Ehlnger, of
Carbondale, spoke on the subject, "Tho
Silver Jubilee," assigned to Rev. John
Kowaln, pastor of Providence mlssli n,
who was unavoidably absent. "Tho
silver Jubilee of the t narnago of Rev.
and Mrs. Lauer Is a hat py ocnslon
and wo wish to convey our heaitlest
congiatulatlon and to bespeaK. for them
the continued blessings of God on their
happy union," said Mr. Ehlngei. 'May
their futuie be as happy and ptosper
ous ns their past has been. May they
remain strong, well, nnd hn'ipy to live
and also celebrate their golden wed
ding annlversaiy."
FIFTIETH MILESTONE.
Mrs. A. L. Ramer sang "The Holy
City." Mrs. Ramer has a well-cultivated
contralto vulce and did this
beautiful song perfect justice. Rev. J.
W. Randolph, pastor of St. Peter's
Lutheran church, spoke upon "Tho
Fiftieth Milestone," In substance as
follows:
As a traveler Journevs over a beau
tiful country, he will mark the dis
tance over which he has traveled by
the milestones along the wnv, so also
may we in our life's journev look Into
the past, reflect, contemplate, and rest.
The valleys, the hills, and the plains
spiead out Into a beautiful panorama,
rich with all the beauties of nntuie,
The Christian pilgrim has likewise a
bioad vision before nnd about hm.
Ho rejoices to contemplate over the
many manifestations of divine mercy.
He realizes the hand of God which led
him hither. He meditates in silent
revei le over visions that aro disclosed
to his mental v Islou. Tho Rev. Lauer
has been permitted to pass the fiftieth
milestone. You nn- now in the mer
idian of the highest usefulness, en
dowed with wisdom nnd n ripe Judg
ment. May God continue to permit
you to leach also the century stone."
The addiesses were concluded with
the address bv Rev. A. L. Ramer, Ph.
D., pastor of St. Mnik's Lutheran
church. In pait, ho snoke as follows
upon the subject, "The Shepherd ot
the Flock."
MR. RAMER'S WORDS.
"The relation between the pastor and
the congregation Is fiequently express
cd In the Bible bv the lleuie of the
shepherd nnd tho Hock. Tho minister
Is an ambassador for Christ on earth,
nnd he Is to declare tho whole counsel
of God to a petlshlng world. In the
discharge of IiIh calllnir he Is Io biltig
the message und revelation of God to
to the people The apostle exhorts the
minister to 'feed the flock of God.' It
Is the work of the pastor to Instruct
and feed the children of God In the
path of righteousness and holiness. He
Is to prepare the young for the nctlve
duties of a Christian life,
"The old und tho weary need the
word of the Comforter; the sick und
nfillcted nie brought to reallzo tho
nu'ieles of the Lord In noting His div
ine support nnd unfailing deliverance
In every walk of llfo the elide of the
Chtlstlnn's life Is In close touch with
the inlnlstiatlons of his pastor. Tho
relation Is beautiful and lasting, May
the piesent i elation contlnuo in un
broken unity and dispensing a double
blessing. For twenty-tlvo yeurs you,
Pi other Lauer, havo been engaged In
this fruitful service. May tho blessing
of the Lord add Its benediction to your
future work in tho ministry."
The services were brought to a close
by tho conduction of the veisicle by
Rev. C. O. Spleker. Rev. Ramer, Ph.
l) pronounced tho benediction.
Ancnt Rev. I.auer's anniversaries it
might be said that his career has been
a particularly glorious one. He wa4

C3ter, N. Y. Ills ordlnntlon took plnce

by the church council consisting ot
