OBSERVANCE OF,
THE LORD'S DAY
GOOD REASON TOR OPENING
HEADING ROOMS, ETC.
Rev. V. W. Whlppen Considered tho
Matter of Sabbath Observance In
a Common Sense Way In a Sermon
Delivered in All Souls' Church
Yesterday Horning He Made a
Number of Radical Statements
That Are Likely to Call Forth
Some Criticism.
"There Is good reason for opening
reading rooms, art galleries and muse
ums on Sunday," said Rev. F.W.Whlp
pen yesterday morning In All Souls'
church during a sermon on "Sabbath
Keeping." Other striking thoughts
were:
"Idleness does not refresh; it fur
nishes soil for evil growth."
"We uso Sunday best when In some
of Its hours wo strive to put In prne
tloe the Master's lessons, This may
take us to manual labor.
"We use the day best when on It we
go forth on missions of humanity."
Rev. Mr. Whlppen's sermon was lis
tened to with the closest attention by
his congregation. He took for his text
the words from Mark, 11:27, as follows:
"The Sabbath was made for man."
During the course of his discourse,
which Is likely to call forth some criti
cism, he snid In part:
"To the question, How shall we use
the first day of the week? the text
supplies the key. Theology In our age
Is being reinforced by common sense.
It Is so In reference to the keeping of
Sunday. Other reasons besides the
Mosaic law are now considered for this
keeping.
NATURE'S DEMAND.
Stress Is laid upon the value of the
day. Sunday should bo kept, men in
sist because human nature demands
such a day. Thus much Is made of tha
thought of rest; of tho need of respite.
Men must have rest. But rest is more
than respite. Rest and Idleness aro
by no means synonymous. We do not
come to the Sunday as a rule in sheer
exhaustion. Rest Is best thought ot as
a change In activities. Wo shall not
then keep Sunday In idleness. On the
physical side this Is title. Those ovcr
rellglous and those Indifferent to re
ligion sometimes agree In making Sun
day, physically speaking, a day of In
dolence. "In tho one ease exertion is thought
to be a sin. In the other general indo
lence is taken as the day's real priv
ilege. It is refreshing In view of these
mistakes to think of Jesus on the S.ib
bath walking through the corn field.
Wo are called to a reasonable amount
ot Sunday exercise. In this respect
tho greatest difficulty is with the
young. The Sunday of Christianity
which Is 'glad tidings of great oy'
ought not and must not be a gloomy
day even to children. If It Is some
thing is wrong. To tho boy and girl
Sunday should be known as something
more than a time for leaving play
things. There should be something to
do.
" 'The earth is the Lord's,' and wo
are using some Sunday hours wisely
when on them In Held and wood we in
troduce our children to nature's beau
ties. Sunday is not a play day. Ab
stinence is necessary in order that at
tention may bo given to the highest
concerns. Sunday is an opportunity
for us to give our thoughts freedom
in regions denied us through the week.
The first Sunday schools in England
were devoted partly to secular instruc
tion. In such instruction some of the
Sunday hours might profitably be used
now. Men and women hungering for
knowledge keep Sunday In the spirit
by devoting long hours of it to books.
GOOD REASON.
"There Is good reason for opening
reading-rooms, art galleries and mupe
ums on Sunday. Idleness does not re
fresh and it furnishes soil for evil
growths. However, nothing must su
persede the meeting for worship. The
Sunday is the church day, because the
church concerns itself with the highest
Interests of our life. It should be the
law of our life to attend church on
Sunday. If it is true that men work
too hard and are confined too much on
week days to go to church on Sunday,
then most grievously must our system
of work and trade and political econ
omy answer for it. For It means that
men and women are being so sapped
by the things of this world that they
have no vitality for religion.
"It is not so to any marked extent.
In many cases when men lounge at
home they would be more refreshed
by a bath and clean cloths, a walk to
church and a hearty participation in
worship. Hut it must be admitted that
engaging in formal worship is not the
whole of Sunday keeping.
"Religion is intensely practical. We

EVENING DISCOURSE.
Dr. McLeod Treaclies-on tho Parable
of the Vineynrd.
Rev. Dr. James Mel.eod at the First
Presbyterian church last night deliv
ered a brief address on the parable
of tho householder, his vineynrd anil
thu laborers. Despite Its brevity it
was full of instructions and intcivst.
Dr. McLeod said thnt the spirit and
motive of service to God has more to
do with Its worth than has anything
else. This thought Is the theme of the
parable according to St. Matthew.
It Is claimed that all In the parable
Is subordinate to the apostle's repeat
ed chronlclo that the first shall be last
and the last first. Those whose Ingen
uity has excelled their wisdom have
gone Into too much dctnll In attempt
ing to particularize the meaning of all
that the story contains. It Is sufficient
to know that Christ means to convey
tho Information that tho faithful will
be rewarded, that their reward will
not be according to what they do so
much ns by the spirit of their labor.
The household is Jesus Christ, the
vineyard his church, and the laborers
his desclples. In that parable the one
class, "the first" bargained for their
hire, while the latter class, more hum
ble, trusted In the fairness of their
employer. Hearing In mind this dif
ference we will better understand the
argument of why labor for reward Is
comparatively less valuable than labor
for love.
It is not said that "all," but "many"
of the first shall be last. The desclp
les were not prompted by any worldly
or selfish motives, so we understand
why It was promised "verily that they
shall receive their reward." They
loved the vineyard, the people of the
vineyard, their fellowmen. Clothed
with humility they labored and trust
ed. Still many of the last will remain
last because of their hireling spirit
and lack of true devotion. There has
been too much comfort taken by some
who have Interpreted the meaning of
the reward given those who began to
labor at the eleventh hour. It was on
ly meant to show that Christ could
save the tardy and not to Indicate
that any sinner Is warranted In post
poning his salvation and work for
Christ until tho eleventh hour. It does
not appear in the parable that any
of the laborers delayed In responding
at once to the Invitation to begin work.
All outside Christ's vineyard Is idle
ness. A life filled with business Is
Idle If without Godliness. Those who
keenly feel the vanity of life, dull labor,
many sorrows, a plunge Into oblivion,
should not hesitate to respond when
the Saviour asks "why stand ye here
idle all tho day." Why should
they delay in beginning a work that
the Saviour left heaven to begin? We
may well ask ourselves what work are
we to occupy, what position to fill?
True religion never was nor never
can bo a fruitful source of idleness
though it can be of happiness,

COAL COMPANY WINS
IN SPRINGER CASE
JURY DECIDED IN EAVOR
THE TAPER TITLE.
03?
Tho Land in Dispute Was Virtually
Valueless, But as the Title to the
Coal Beneath It Hinged on the
Outcome, the Case Was of Much.
Importance Second Trial of the
Ehrgood Suit Results in a Reduced
Verdict for the Plaintiff Judge
Would Not Discharge tho Jury.
In the conflict between the paper title
and the sepmtter sovereignty claim In
the ejectment case ot tho Lacoe & Shif
ter Coal company agnlnst W. M.
Springer, the Jury Saturday afternoon
relumed a verdict In favor of the for
mer. The s'llt wns for the surface of, a
fourteen-acre piece of a one hundred
and twenty acre plot known as tho
Springer tract and located In the bor
ough of Moosle, near tho Luzerne
county line.
The land Itself is practically worth
less, but parts of It are underlaid with
coal beds of unusual richness, the value
of the coal In the tract In question be
ing at the smallest estimate $50,000.
Shifter claims the land and coal by
right of squatter sovereignty, claiming
to have held adverse possession of It
for the last thirty years. The com
pany's title was based on deeds tracing
unbroken possession back to the time
of tho commonwealth grant to the Sus
quehanna company In 17S8.
DISPOSES OF COAL.
This verdict, If It. stands, also dis
poses of the claim to the underlying
coal. Springer has a suit pending to
recover from the company the value of
the coal that has been taken from be
neath the disputed tract, but as it Is
now decided that he does not own tho
land his claim to the coal will be of
little weight. Tho importance of the
litigation may bo understood when It
Is known that court Informed Mr.
Springer that a half million dollar bond
would be required before ho would !
allowed to institute Injunction proceed
ings to restrain tho company from min
ing the coal.
Major Everett Warren, James H.
Torrey and Frank Wheaton, of Wilkes
Barro, are the company's attorneys. I.
II. Hums nnd M. J. Martin represent
Mr. Springer.
After being nut since noon Thursday,
the Jury In the case of E. J. Ehrgood
against the Moscow Water company
returned a verdict Saturday morning
In favor of the plaintiff in the sum of
$400. At the opening of court the Jury
came in and reported that It was un
able to agree. Judge Archbald, who
was on the bench at the time, Informed
the jury that this was the second trial
of the case; that it has been before the
courts for five years, and that if It was
not disposed of at this time It would
have to be tried again, entailing addi
tional expenses to the county and the
litigants. He also advised them that
If a few of the jurors were holding out
against the others, it was their duty
to reconcile their views to those of the
majority. If they could conscientiously
do so. Tho jury retired nnd in half an
hour came back with a verdict.
SUIT FOR DAMAGES.
It was a suit to recover for damages
done to the plaintiff by reason of tho
water company diminishing the flow of
Roaring Brook to such an extent as to
Interfere with the operations of his grist
mill. At the former trial of the case
a verdict of $600 In favor of the plain
tiff was rendered. E. C. Newcomb rep
resented Mr. Ehrgood and O'Brien &
Kelly the water company.
In the suit of C. I. Jadwln ngalnst R
13. Hurley to recover commissions on
a real estate sale the jury decided In
favor of the plaintiff for the full amount
of his claim, S29S.82. The verdict Is sub
ject, however, to Judge Love's decision
on the reserved law question as to
whether or not Mr. Jadwin's broker
license, Issued by the city treasurer. Is
valid. The defense contended that the
county treasurer Is the proper party to
Issue broker's licenses.
The case of P. H. Coyne against the
city of Scranton was referred to M. J.
Ruddy.
