Evangelist Cobb, who Is conducting
tho great revival now In progress In
tho new Assembly hall on Drinker
street, Dunmore, spoke last evening on
the subject "Ho Cnlloth Thee." He
said: "In this beautiful story of Blind
Bartlmneus are two great objective
points, first God's enregy, second man's
duty.
Jesus called but It was In answer to
the blind man's call. God has some
blessings which he bestows with Im
partial hand upon his children on earth,
legardless of their gratitude or Ingrat
itude. Tho rnln descends, the sun
shines on theevlle as well as the good.
But there are higher blessings which
can be secured by complying with the
law enunciated by Christ. "Ask und Ye
Shall Receive." Bartlmaeus asked
and received. Recall the circumstan
ces. A great throng, a king going ns
all believed to be crowned, a blind beg
gar daring to ask for help, tho obse
quious courtiers trying to silence the
clamor, the beggar crying nut louder:
"Jesus thou son of David have mecry
upon me." Oh that men nnd women
cared as much today for their soul's
salvation as this blind man cared for
his sight. How easily some people are
discouraged In their effots to follow
Christ. An unkind word, n fancied
slight nnd wo give up without another
trial. Not so with Bartlmaeus. He
calls and keeps on calling until Jesus
commands him to lie brought and
grants him his request. So should tho
sinner long for snlvatlon nnd lay hold
of Christ. Tonight's subject Is "Cod's
Command."
The subject for tomorrow night In
the tabernacle will be "The Good Con
fession;" tonight, "God's Command,
Repent."

the board five Insane patients were sent
to tho home from this dlsOlpt. Two
from Director Shotten's" sphere of not
ion," tho same number from Director
Murphy's and ono from Director
Palne's. The board concurred In the
action of the several directors In each
instance.
N i less than four women made np
flliatton for the use of the board P
nttorney to compel recalcitrant hus
bands to produce sufficient support for
them and their children. In three of
the cases, orders from court had not
been obeyed and tho women wero too
poor to compel payment thereof. AH
rases were referred to Attorney Scrags
for investigation.

Charles Sargeant, of Nicholson,
again appeared beforo the board. Old
request "want my boy." The lad,
Charles Sergeant, fourteen years old,
Is now with James McDavItt, of Da
mascus, Wayne county, nnd doing nice
ly. He has been there over a year and
has apparently broken off his Incendiary
Jnstinct. Tho father, who so persls
ten In his efforts, will In all probabil
ity be given the child. It is only re
cently he has shown such an earnest
desire to take the boy to his own home.
Attorney Scragg's business with the
board was to have Its ratlflcptlon of
and consent to Feveral proposed neces
sary actions on his part with refer
ence to tho board's business. This was
promptly and cheerfully given.
