THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-MONDAY, AUGUST 15. 1898.
BRAIN IS NEEDED
IN THE CHURCHES
LACK OP MASCULINE THOUGHT
AND ROBUST PIETY.
Ecv. Dr. James Hughes, of Jackson
Street Baptist Church Argues That
tho Heads nnd the Hearts of tho
Church People Need Cultivation.
Tho Former Lacks Light and tho
Latter Fire Too Many Aro Will
ing to Bo Chessmen, Moved by thi
Thinkers of the Dny.
Rev. Dr. Jntnes Hughes prenchrd
yesterday mornlns l Ihe Jackson
street UnntlRt church nnd HtronRly nd
cated the cultivation nnd develop
ment of IntelltRcnce nnd piety In our
churches. Ho attributed the Immures
elve or feeble nBKifHlc action of the
church to the depImabU- aluenoi' of
masculine thouRht and lobust piety
among the rank nnd file of chut oh
goers. The head and lienit, ho said, ictiulird
cultivation, for the head supplied the
shot and heart the powder, and both
are needed. Theie Is room In the
church for men of action and men of
thought. Pome people by the ery con
stitution of thing" will cer remain
only chosmen on the great board of
life, moved by the thinker of the day.
messed Is that church wheie theie aie
a stilllclent number of thoughtful,
thinking men nnd women to keep nil
the other members In constant useful
activity.
Dr. Hughes said that he was once In
formed by one of tho most successful
ministers in England, the late liev.
Hugh Stow ell Drown, of Liverpool, thnt
ho was more Indebted for his minister
ial success to one man, a silent member
of his church, than ho was to all the
rest put together.
hi: copld tiiin'k.
That man, the Liverpool (limine said,
could not speak, but ho could think,
and his constant thought was how to
increase the usefulness of tho church,
lie 'would make known his thoughts
nnd schemes to some members who
could speak and he would lay them be
fore tho chinch with the lesult that
these suggestions wote generally taken
up and energetically woiked out. All
were kept active and the church grew
and become a mighty power for good
In the city of Llvei pool
Let those who feel they will never
attain to any eminence as thinkers not
dlspalr, he urged, theie Is a sphere of
usefulness for them. Theie Is ample
room for Martha as well as Marv In
the great temple of human life. Still
every one should aim at the develop
ment of his powers, both mental nnd
spiritual, and by so doing there will be
a great augmentation of the intelligent
moral forces of the churches, and a
proportionate Increase In usefulness.
He contended that men of high, no
ble, sanctified thought live the longest,
do the greatest amount of good In the
world, and aro In tho long run the most
highly respected of the human ince.
More fire In tho heart, more light In the
head, he argued.
BEV. DR. MOGG'S SERMON.
Wilkes-Barro Pastor Preaches in
Elm Park Church.
Dpv. Dr. C. E. Mogg, pastor of the
Central Methodist church of AVilkes
Darre, occupied the pulpit at Elm Park
church yesterday nnd greatly pleased
largf congregations, both morning and
evening. Dr. Mogg speaks In a very
attractive manner and has exceptional
g!tu In the way of elegant diction and
(.learners of logic.
Dr. Mogg's subject In the morning
vas from Job, will. 3. "Oh, that I knew
where I might find Him." The ser
mon was lofty In thought and Intense
ly spiiltual in sentiment. He said
that this has been tho cry of humanity
thiough the ages.
Job was seeking n person whom he
Knew existed. Ho had groat wisdom
and knew something of science, but the
knowledge of Rod's works did not sat
isfy him There weu impenetrable
mysteries beyond. There was an un
earthly disturber in his breast. He
was like a mariner set nfloat In .1
ship of whl.'h he Ins no knowledge
or given understanding of tho chuit;
a compass which ho could not explain,
with figures he could not read.
Man needs a father, to give mora
than earthly parents can give. His
cry s ours; his assailant, his deliver
er, ours, for we need a spiritual lath
er. W find In God our redeemer and
vindicator. Mrs. Prow nine's "Cry of
til- Children," "Do yon hear the ! Iil'
drrn veeplng oh. my brother?" Is verl
flrcl in the wall of hi'imnlty. If on"
would know the depth of human need
ho should look into his own soul, to
ttudy tho heart history of th human
race. All the achievements of genius
that the world can bestow may bn
1 1 ought l-i tho yearning spit it on'.v to
be spurned. Nothing hut spiritual
kinship can appei'se It
When we have found Him what nio
the arguments with v.'hlch to fill our
nouths to pleat' bofore the throne?
Man Is lost nnd helpless without Him
find os a bird seeks tho covering of Its
mother', wings so must tho soul Ionr
for iefug in the sec.et plac of the
Most High. Standing thus In the pres
ence of God our argument is in our
divine origin which gives tho rlpht to
thus plead. We live because God per
tetmtes llf nnd the consciousness of
kinship remains , He who implanted
the r'eslre for divine communion has
no i),-ht to leave these desires unsa'l..-i;e-l.
Then theie Is the longing for holi
ness. Amid tho conflicts of life 10
malns the d"slro for purity and this
gives the right to go be!or God who
is holj asking this legacy. More than
aU these Is the lov o of God the nipremo
and conclusive nrgument. He cannot
withstand our demands since He le
celves our love nnd loves us. We can
not go f-xpectlng to ho heard on per
gonal merit Hut. pleading the merits
ot the Kon of God sent from heaven
and clothed with power.dylng In man's
stead, we may go pleading the only
name given under heaven vvheieby
man may be saved.
The soul, botn of the Inspliatlon of
God. fraught with the divine afflatus,
In life possessed of tho Interpolation
of the Father and the longing to nestle
In His bosom, but in chains nnd tho
bondage of sins In a far country feels
the Immortal Instinct beating within.
By and by the Lion of the Tilbe of
The Genuine
Honford's Acid Phosphate
Always has the nemo 'Ho8focl,8',
on the label.
NEVER SOLD IN BULK.
Judnh comes and breaks tho fetters
of rln and sets It free. Then on the
pinions of faith, lifted above tho
clouds the old Inspiration of divinity
asset ts Itself and It begins the home
ward (light toward heaven.

SPORTING NEWS.
If Tom Williams doesn't give Jim
Judge one of the haidest battles ever
expeilenied by the Scranton welter
weight, tho fi lends of Williams will be
gteatly disappointed Though Judge
has the advantage of nge, Williams has
profited by over 200 contests. He Is
tinlnlng hnid at Highbridge. Gi eater
New Voile, for the bout. If Judge wins
he w III be matched to meet Charley
Johnson, or Andy Walsh, nKo, he w ill
bo announced as ready to meet any 140
pound man In the world, bar none.
Manager Skellv has everv faith In
Judge's ability and expects hlin to win,
even though Williams has the distinc
tion of having to his ciedlt a 20-round
dinw with Dick Bulge, one of the
greatest Ilghtets England ever pro
duced Williams has alwavs defeated
his man by quick, sharp vvoik. He Is
said to have a light hand ns stiong ns
Peter Manor's and has no doubt of his
ability to beat Judge. So sure is Wil
liams of this that he has asked Skelly
to nuange a match for him two weeks
after he defeats Judge. Williams has
many friends In nnd about Highbridge,
whete ho conducts a boxing nnd wiest
llng school. Many of them will come
to Sctnnton to see next Tuesday night's
bout and they will come to take all the
Scianton money In sight.
Bobby Dohbs Is still nfter Geoigo
Kerwln, "tho Chicago Mystery." Ker-
w In got out of making a match to meet
Dohbs before the Olympic club of Buf
falo and went to New York. The
Gieenwood club, of Brooklvn, tried to
get Kcrwln's signature to n contract to
meet Dohbs but w Ithout success.
As n matter of fact the most promin
ent clubs In the countiy hnve made
ninny offers to men to meet tho eoloied
fellow but they all go shy when the
time for signing nil Ives. Nobody, not
even the stars In the light-weight class,
want to take any chances with tho man
who Is consldeied by many to be the
best In tho world at 133 pounds,
Dick Case nnd his manager ciled
"fraud" ovei the decision which award
ed the bout on July 26 to Judge. They
said they had been robbed and spread
the stoiy generally among sporting
men In New York. As soon as Jack
Skelly, manager for Judge heard the
stoty ho agreed to post money to bind
Judge to a contest with Case In New
Yoik, but the Intter's manager lefused
the offer, sa ing he did not want Case
to bo until told weather began.
Judge's victoiy over Case gave him
a big boom. He hnd received seveial
pioposltlons to meet prominent men In
his class, but had refeired them all to
Skelly, who has decided that Judge
shall have a ciack at Williams first
and then Johnson or Walsh,
