INSTALLATION OF
REV. MR. PIERCE
IMPBESSIVE SERVICES IN PENN
AVENUE CHURCH.
Principal Addresses Were Delivered
By Rev. John Gordon, D, D.. and
Rev. Russell H. Conwcll, D. S., of
Philadelphia Graceful Address of
Rev. C. M. Qlflln, D. D., of Elm
Park Church Others Who Partici
pated in the Exercises An In
formal Reception Followed.
Probably the most impressive and in
teresting recognition service which ever
took place in this city was that of last
evenlng.when Rev. Robert F. Y. Pierce,
tho brilliant divine recently called to
the Penn Avenue Baptist church, was
formally installed pastor of that great
congregation. On the platform were
clergymen not only of enviable local
importance, but of world-wide fame.
A vast throng of people, representing
many denominations, was present. The
decorations of flags, rlch-hued llowera
and many tropical plants were most
elaborate. A largo chorus choir under
tho direction of Professor Haydn Evans
provided fine music.
Dr. L. M, Gates, the moderator, ad
Interlum, of the church, presided. Rev.
F. S. Mathews, of the Scranton Street
Baptist church, read the fourth chap
ter of II Corinthians. Rev. Mr. Har
ris, of Calvary church, Taylor, offered
the invocation. Rev. Thomas De
Gruchy, pastor of tho Jackson Street
Baptist church, made a graceful ad
dress of welcome in extending the hand
of fellowship fiom the Baptist Brother
hood of Scranton.
"A Message to the Church" was given
by Rev. John Gordon, D. D., pastor of
the Second Baptist church, of Phila
delphia. Dr. Gordon is a man of dis
tinguished personal appearance and
possesses a rloh, melodious voice. He
stated that ho had known Rev. Mr.
Pierce for many years and congratu
lated the church on securing him. The
speaker gave a word of loving admon
ition to tho congregation. He believed
there was a danger In the modern nge
of great things. We all want great
churches, such as Dr. Conwell has. ot
3,000 members, nnd are likely to lose
sight of the Individual and his respon
sibility. He urged united and personal
service of love In the church. Rooted
In the love of Christ, pastor and people
will be bound together Irrevocably.
DR. GIFFIN'S REMARKS.
Mrs. B. T. Jaync sang a soprano solo,
after which Rev. Dr. C. M. Glffln, of
Elm Park Methodist Episcopal church,
presented fraternal greetings of the
churches in his own inimitably happy
way. He said that he came from a
sect that was not at first greeted In
this fashion. It had to wait a long time
for a welcome, but it came to stay, and
had grown a little and was now re
spectable in numbers if nothing else.
From the other side of ever lowering
fences he was glad to give the now
pastor a good greeting. He represented
the churches, and was not one who
said he came from "a" church or "the"
church, and that he was "It."
Ho wished It understood that we
have fellowship In the churches In this
town. He never was In a place where
so much concord was found. If the
new pastor could save souls he would
find no Jealous animosity. He hoped
Brother Pierce would "get there," and
could assure him that he would have
no unkind epithets bestowed on him by
the other clergymen of the city.
Dr. Gates announced that a number
of telegrams of congratulation and also
of regret that absence was unavoid
able had been received, among them
messages from the secretary of the
Baptist Young People's union and the
president of the Sunday Breakfast as
sociation. General Secretary F. W. Pearsall, of
the Railroad Young Men's Christian
association, gave a welcome to Scran
ton as a field for Christian service. He
spoke earnestly of the problems of for
eign emigration, of the social evil and
of the great army of unconverted
which the 'churches of God must solve.
In the name of the workers who were
trying to bring about the salvation of
men ho gave a hearty welcomo to the
new pastor.
DR. CONWELL INTRODUCED.
Dr. Gates then gracefully' introduced
the famous divine, litterateur and lec
turer. Rev. Russell H. Conwell. D. D.,
pastor of Grace church, Philadelphia,
who delivered the address of the eve
ning, 11 brilliant and most magnetic
address Indeed,
He began by Illustrating the imper
ious utterance "Go!" in a vivid de
scription of a Yale boat race starting
at the magic word. This church has
reached the place where the best woid
to be said to It was "Go!"
The difference between a church and
a club Is that a club says "Come," the
church says "Go," The accuse.tlu'i
that the church Is a religious club, is
a mistake except In rare cases.
When a man is called as a pastor it
means that he Is called of God to serve
the church. In the Baptist denomina
tion it is believed that the minister is
the servant of the church, ns long as
the directions are in accordance with
his conscience. This church has not
called Brother Pierce to be a governess
or a nurse, as In some instances a
pastor is seemingly desired.
"He Is not called to visit you per
sonally. You have called a man to
go," said the speaker. "A church mem
ber who can't stay In the church un
less the pastor visits him would better
be kicked out at once. There are
plenty of hyprocrltes and sinners in
the world who need visiting, unless
jou belong In this category you don't
want It. The church of Jesus Christ
is not meant for jou to pat each other
on the back, and for a mutual admira
tion society. You have not called a
man to entertain you, to bo a circus
clown, nor a theatrical manager.
WHAT A CALL MEANS.
You have called a man to go. You
may have a man In your number who
Is as much called to carry on his mines
as Brother Pierce is called to preach
ti

Rev. W. J. Ford offered prayer after
Dr. Conwell's address and the congre
gation sang "Blest Be the Tie." Tho
benediction was pronounced by Rov.
Mr. Pierce.
Many telegrams nnd letters of con
gratulation were received by Mr.
Plcice. Among the telegrams was the
following from Lewis U. Bean, pres
ident of the Sunday Breakfast asso
ciation ot Philadelphia. It read as fol
lows: "I congratulate you, I also congratu
late your congregation. They have
done well."
The following was one of the letters
received:

Dear Brethren; It would glo mo groat
pleasure to be present at the tecognltlon
services In which aformal wclcom to tlio
church and tho community Is extended
to your pastor. Rev. R. F. V. Pleico.
As I am denied this privilege, allow me
In this way to join In tho general con
gratulations and to express the hope that
the relations Into which you havo mu
tually entered may be fraught with rlcn.
est blessings for the spiritual life of the
church nnd the quickening of the com
munity. Your pastor has rendered and is
still rendering to tho cause of the Bap
tist Young Pcople'B unlen of America an
Invaluable service by the consecrated use
of his fertile Imagination and his facile
pen. Thousands of our young people
have, therefore, a personal Interest In
him and In his work, and on behalf of tho
great organization Into which they uro
banded 1 send you this message of greet
ing. May your fellowship bo a fellowship In
light and love, end the ministry of the
Word among you be a ministry of power
which shall find a response in all hearts
and exert an influence upon all lives.

General Secretary B. Y. I. U. of A.
Dr. Conwell then gave a scathing
denunciation of tho Idea that a min
ister must be able to draw a crowd
illustrating by the well-known book
"In His Steps." He said that a pro
fessional visitor was not the main qual
ification of a pastor.
At the conclusion of the services an
informal reception was held In the
parlors when the greetings nnd Inter
change of courtesies occupied an hour
or more.
HON M. F. SANDO NAMED.
He Is Not Inclined, However, to Ac
cept the Congressional Nomina
tion Which Has Been Tender
ed Him by the Committee,
Hon. M. F. Sando i? the Democratic
candidate for congress.
He was chosen by the county com
mittee last night to fill the vacancy
caused by tho declination of Ira. II.
Burns. Assurances were also given the
committee that M. F. Sando would ac
cept. At the meeting of the committee last
Saturday nlgnt a committee consisting
of P. J. Nealls, John J. Fahey and
George S. Horn were named to suggest
a suitable candidate for congress at
last night's meeting. The suggestion
was made by Mr. Nealls who named
Mr. Sando. He had nn Interview with
that, gentleman ho said and could soy
to the committee that If nominated he
would accept. He made tho nomin
ation of Mr. Sando and the motion pre
vailed. A committee consisting of Mr. Nealls.
Mr. Fahey, .Mr. Horn and the chair
man of tho county committee. Colonel
Frank J, Fltzslmmons, was named to
formally notify Mr. Sando of his nom
ination. M. J. Cadden, R, J. Beamish and
John J. Durkln was directed to secure
suitable headquarters for the county
committee for the campaign.
From an interview with Mr. Sando
last night It Is evident that Mr. Nealls
took too much for granted when he as
sured tho committee that Mr. Sando
would accept.
Mr. Sando returned from a trip to
Hnrrlsburg nt 9.01 o'clock last night
and knew nothing of the committee's
action until a Tribune reporter waited
upon him and asked If he Intended to
accept the nomination.
Ho declined to say whether or not
he would accept the nomination, desir
ing to await official notification from
the committee, but from the trend ot
a lengthy conversation on the matter
it was very evident that Mr. Sando is
not inclined to accept.

ITS EXISTENCE
LOYAL KNIOHTS OF AMERICA
DECIDE NOT TO DISBAND. '
Thirty-Fifth Annual Convention
Held Yesterday In Red Men's Hall
West Scranton At Present There
Aro But Two Subordinate Lodges
Attached to tho Grand Lodge Ob
jects ot the Order Are Set Forth In
Brief New Lease of Life Is Hoped
for the Organization.
The thirty-fifth annunl convention of
tho grand lodge of tho Loyal Knights
of America convened In regular session
in Red Men's hall. West Scranton, yes
terday at 10 a. m. Tho attendance was
small, owing to tho fact that but two
lodges of the order are working under
the above title.
The convention was presided over by
National Grand Master JoBeph H. Da
vis, and the customary opening ex
ercises were gone through with. Rep
lesentatlves present were: James Ley
shon, Thomas J. Reynolds, William A.
Phillips, Walter Wllklns nnd David
R. Jones, No. 21: David S. Reese, Wil
liam Gray, Thomas J, Williams and
Isaac Harris, No. 37. Besides the fol
lowing a large number of past masters
were also In attendance.
The past official degree was conferred
upon applicants and the credentials re
ferred to committee. Grand Secretary
Joseph Oliver then read tho minutes
of tho regular session held at Olyphant
and the special session at Taylor. Tho
finance committee made Its report,
which showed a financial gain. Pre
vious to tho present year tho grand
lodge of the Loyal Knights of America
had been badly handicapped by an
enoimous debt, caused through legal
trouble with dissenting lodges. At
present, however, the grand body is
better situated, financially, than ever
before.
ATTEMPT UNSUCCESSFUL.
One year ago when the order con
cned nt Olyphant It numbered 1.9S9
members. At that session legislation
was attempted that would result In
the dissolution of the order. This move
on the part of tho dissatisfied lodges
was defeated. However, they succeed
ed In passing a resolution to the effect
that lodges anxious to withdraw should
do so by paying a pro rata share of
the Indebtedness. These lodges took
advantage of this opening and at once
paid their share and withdrew.
Lodge after lodge took that course
until today the order, as said hereto
fore, consists only of two lodges, En
terprise, with 20G members, and Key
stone, with 183 members, both of the
West Side. The report of the finance
committee showed receipts of the past
year to be ?834.2.: expenditures, $69S.15;
leaving a balance after all bills are
paid of $241.64. Again the dissolution
matter was broached, but action was
deferred until the afternoon session.
In the afternoon the resolution of
dissolution was brought up and dis
cussion was Indulged In for over an
hour. The same was lost and once
more the Loyal Knights of America
rroceeds along the course previously
laid down.
It seems that the bone of contention
to the order In general was the enor
mous expenses attached to the grand
lodge. At this session, however, all
expenditures that could be necessarily
s"t nclde were done away with, and In
he future the subordinate lodges will
not In nny way be hampered In this
respect.
There being a vacancy in tho offices
of treasurer and worthy deputy master
elections were mnde, and resulted In
the selection of Thomas J. Reynolds
ai worthy deputy master and William
Gray as treasurer.
OFFICERS INSTALLED.
Th officers-elect were then Installed
as follows: National grand master,
Isaac Harris; grand deputy, Thomas
J. Reynolds; recording secretary, Jo
seph Oliver; treasurer, William Gray;
board of directors, William A, Phillips,
Walter Wllklns and William G. Phil
lips. The officers having been seated the
grand master appointed the various
committees for the ensuing year, after
which the membership went Into com
mittee of the whole to consider changes
to be made in the laws In conformity
with conditions under which the order
at present exists. Why such a society
should ever prove a failure Is remark
able to a certain degree, for as regards
Its object and principles they may bo
compared with those of any organiza
tion in existence. It, however, has not
as yet failed and there may yet some
day arise a flourishing organization.
The objects of the Loyal Knights of
America are as follows:
"Tho Loyal Knights of America is

composed of American citizens, native
and adopted, and those who havo de
clared their Intention to become citi
zens. It is purely American in Its char
acter and protestant in Its principles.
It requires an unswerving support to
the authority of the government and a
strict obedience to its constitution and
laws. Its alms ore to sustain right
against the encroachment of wrong.
Its teachings Inculcate the largest
chnrlty. It enjoins upon all the prin
ciples of probity, rectitude and virtue,
nnd the members pledge themselves,
as far in their power lies, to preserve
Inviolate that most glorious privilege,
'Liberty of Conscience,' nnd to protect
its members and all good citizens from
violence, oppression and wrong.
UPHOLDS PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
"It upholds the public schools and tho
reading of the Bible therein without
note or comment, nnd Is opposed to
any part of tho public funds being
ured to foster or disseminate sectarian
institutions or views, whether Protest
ant, Roman Catholic or otherwise.
"The order is not opposed to Immi
gration provided the seekers for homes
In this glorious republic leave behind
them their foreign ideas, nnd are will
ing to become American citizens and
be governed by the laws and customs
of our country, but in Its principles
and teachings It opposes in unmeas
ured terms the Immigration of anarch
ists, socialists nnd others of their or
other foreign Ideas, nnd is strictly op
posed to the Importation of pauper la
bor. It is also its purpose to create,
in each of its subordinate lodges, a
fund with which to aid worthy dis
tressed brothers nnd their families in
times of illness, distress and grief."
Several other Important matters were
brought before1 the body, and after re
ceiving consideration adjournment was
made In recess until such time as tho
chair sees fit, or Is ordered to recon
vene the session.
ROEBER COULDN'T DO IT.
His Opponent Last Night Was "At
las," a Famous Wrestler They
Will Meet Again Tonight in
the Academy.
Tho famous wrestler "Atlas" gave a
gteat exhibition of defensive wrestling
against Ernest Rocber, tho world's
champion, at the Academy ot Music
last night. Roeber was unable to throw
him In fifteen minutes and as a result
a special match wns mude for tonight.
This agreement was not reached until
after a long wrangle at the conclusion
of last night's bout.
The real name of "Atlas" Is James
McGee. His home Is at Hamilton, Ont.
On Thursday night of last week he
wrestled Roeber at Albany and won a
side bet and $50, according to Roeber's
offer to give that amount to any man
not thrown In fifteen minutes. McGee
came to Scranton Saturday night
with his wife and his manager. He
met Jack Skelly here and asked Skelly
to challenge Roeber from the audience.
This was done Monday night.
Considerable time was wasted last
night In choosing a referee from the
audience. Charles Waldron, manager
ot the variety company now playing at
the Gaiety theater, was finally agreed
upon. McGee made no attempt to thow
the champion, though he several times
secured body holds on Roeber that In
terfered with the lattei's wind. For
nearly tho whole of the fifteen minutes
Roeber pushed, pulled and tugged in
an effort to secure holds on McGee, who
lay on his stomach.
At the conclusion of tho fifteen min
utes McGee had not been thiown. He
had wriggled himself out of many a
tlckllFh situation, however.
The audience was noisy throughout
tho contest. Some one yelled "fake" at
Its close, but the charge Is hardly
borne out. No wrestler, certainly not
one with McGee's reputation, Is willing
to have his face battered and bruised
ngalnst a mat twice or thee times a
week as wns McGee's last night, for
a nominal salary.
Roeber explained to the audience who
his opponent wns nnd charged him with
being "unprofessional" In "follow lrjK
the show" when It was generally ac
cepted that Roeber's offer was particu
larly fpr local men. McGee charged
Roeber with doing the same thing
when Muldoon was champion. Roeber
did not deny It.
After each had made several speeches
Roeber agreed to forfeit $150 If he could
not thow McGee In twenty-five min
utes tonight. McGee accepted and a
wager of $50 a side was made on the
result. Roeber summoned his manager
from the box office and posted $100.
McGee furnished $30. Later at the
Westminster hotel Roeber posted his
remaining $100 and the two men signed
articles for the match tonight.
William Morris, of Morris Bros., the
shoe merchants, was agreed upon for
stakeholder.
