PATRIOTIC SERVICE. Conducted in the Ponn Avenue Bap tist Church by Rev. Robert F. Y. Pierce, tho Pastor Many Soldiers Present. Colonel I,. A. Wat res anil hew-rnl of his fluff, three line olllcers and a num ber of the members of the Klcventh regiment's Scrutiton companies, nil In uniform anil the olllcers without side arms, attended a special service last nlubt at the l'enn Avenue Haptlst eluireh, by Invitation of the pastor, Kov. Robert F. Y. Fierce. The men marched from the armory on Adams avenue to tho church. Col onel Wat res was attended by Adjutant 1). 1'.. Ath"rinn, Quartermaster F. M. Vnndllntr and Lieutenant Kees Wut klns. Inspector of rlllo practice. Cap tain Dlminlek was In connnand of Com pany K. anil Captain Fremont Stokes and Lieutenant C. V. Pross, of dim puny I. N'n olllcers of Company G re sponded to the Invitation to the service and the men of that command wcro attached to the other two companies. There were about " non-coiniulssioned olllcers and privates In charge of tip; two captains Pastor Pierce's Invitation had also been extended to members of tiK Grand Army of the Republic, but they came as Individuals and not In a body. The soldiers occupied seats reserved for them in the front of the church. All the seiUs were occunled by one of the largest eoiiKrcKatlons of tho year. Flaprs were generously used in decorat ing about the pulpit and organ loft. The sermon was on the topic "Our Country; Its Dawn, Its Defenders, Its Destiny." The programme of service was especially arranged for the occa sion and was patriotic In character. "The Star Spangled Haulier" was played for an organ prelude by Profes sor ilayden Evans. Following a chant by the choir there was a responsive reading, a brief Invocation and the do' ology. An anthem was sung nnd prayer was offered by the pastor. "Tenting Tonight" was sung In so prano solo and chorus as an offertory. The topic of Mr. Pierce's discourse Indicates its subject matter. It was from the text Clul.. lit:'-'. "In Thee shall all nations he blessed." (Jod made that promise to Abraham and it was literally fulfilled In after years. Th; words could he used to Indicate a prophecy for Greater America. Free dom and liberty, the words graven on the escutcheon of Amet lean's national honor would be proclaimed throughout the world. Freedom was. Is and shall be the keynote of our national life. Applause was evoked by one utter ance of the speaker. He had referred to the gradual and rattier reluctant way In which tho Fnlted States had entered the circle of first-class powers and to the odium cast upon her during the process. "Hut," he exclaimed, "other nations have laughed at Ameri ca for the last time in the world's his tory!" With some spirit Mr. Pierce spoke In favor of an alliance with Great Britain, a moral alllaiue at least, for civil and religious liberty. HE IS A STRONG FAVORITE. That's What the Philadelphia In quirer Says of Mr. Farr. The Philadelphia Inquirer of yester day contained the following with refer ence to the Unlit for speaker of the house of representatives: John H. Fair, of Lackawanna, con tinues to bo a strong favorito in thi ra'.'e for the speakership ot the house or rep resentatives. The suggestion of Farr as "a harmony candidate" for the Hepuhll can caucus nomination for this honor has been favorably received In many quarters. It Is trim that some of tliobo who might be designated us radical tjuay men have not taken kindly to the proposition, be cause of Fan's vote for Wan.iniake-r for 1'nlteil States senator In the Penrose con test, yet other flieiids of Hie senior sen a tir concede that it would not he vli nor pollto to harbor animosities purely on that score. Farr gracefully acquiesced In the action of tho caucus then and lie has now nnnouueed his determination, If elected, to be fair to all factions and to do his utmost to bring uboiit hnrmo.iy In the Ilepiibllcan party. Secretary of the Commonwealth Mar tin's prediction that all his friends in this city will bo found supporting Farr will undoubtedly bo home out In a few days. Heprcsentatlve-elect Heed, of tho Third ward; Stulh, of tho Twelfth, and Vales, ot the Thirteenth, were yesterday quoted as having fallen Into line for Farr. Tho announcement that the three llcpuhllc.in members from Uucks county unit that Dr. Muckey, of Luzerne, had Joined 'In Farr forces encouraged the backers of the Lackawanna man yesterday. Heforo tliTe shall be n general caucus of the Philadelphia delegation to tho house the Quaker City members-elect who are classed as ndhernits of the Martin lead ership will hold a meeting this week mid formally go on record for Farr. Senator Magee, ot Pittsburg, is expected to havo his friends do likewise. Hllss. of Delaware; McClaln, of Lvi. raster; Voorhees. of Philadelphia: Kreps, of Franklin; Marshall Ford nnd Hasacft, of Allf-gheny, are all still being lalk-'d about for the speakership, but the lines aro like-ly to ho drawn In a few days, and there will bo a strong drift to Furr.

The three conneclnlly Heated the subject, be ginning wll'i the possible hereditary Inlluetice from the parents ti the child's early training' Inter development; her connection with mid part In soclely, tint roelety's duty 'inward her; thrt educating 'f her ivnrnl. spiritual and physical nature in order to realize a practical nnd christian woman; lur duty while b'lnir courted, and later married; and b'stly the vort of voumj mun who would be meet partners of such a daughter and whom she nhuuld sck. He said: Till': ni;w iiomi;, 111 this, the eoliellliltiig liermoll, we llUM' come to the ennsuiMiiaUiill of all thai wo heretofore have hull considering the mairlnire and the establishment of the new- home.

It In possible that every home can be a foretaste of heaven if the parents will each do their part. First we will consider the husband's part. He has taken fiom her home the woman who Is to become the centre of Intluence In the new homo. In nine cases out of ten it will depend upon his actions us to whether thiii new homo will he an Increasingly happy one. In this day of dissipation and divorce, avoidance of trouble lies In the accept ance of the first part of my text, "Hus bands, love your wives, etc." Love cer tainly covers many fnults and the girl who marries a man beeausv she loves him will seldom prove unfaithful in that love. 1 think we may safely con eiude that If the wife's love fails it is the man's fault, usually. Divorce ap plications would bo tlie exception In stead of rule, should all men do their part in married life. THK Ilt.'SHAND'S DI'TY. This one word of the Scriptural in junction, "love," funtaint? within Itself the whole of the husband's duty. In the love due a wife, from u husband, lie stands pledged to give her the deep est nnd most lasting al'foitlon of the heart. This pledge is taken In the mar riage ceremony at the altar. The pass ing of time should make the bond stronger and dearer. That self-sacri ficing love which Chrb't bore towards humanity is the kind of love a man should have for his wife. All she is, all she expects to be, Is yielded up to him with absolute con fidence1. No comparison can be made for such an act in human experiences, and is a man worthy the name who will thus receive nuch a heart ottering without a deep consecration to the Idea of being wholly worthy of this "gift beyond compare." The love of a good, pure, virtuous wife is returned by tho husband's proofs of his worthiness of her love. This can be indicated in numerous wajs.

MEARS to desire thls, and happiness will dwindle and disappear from that home. Finally, lot tne say that It will bo Im possible for the wife to respond to the husband In hei deepest nature (that which has to do with the spiritual) un less lie can stand side by nldo with her In spiritual thought. Now, to brlelly consider the wife's duty In this home. Note the privilege and honor to her to be the elected one of all women, to be his companion lu this home. No true woman, I believe, would neglect to ure the light Judg ment In accepting this ptlvHege Wo have touched upon Hn training and pre paratlon for Just this very result. Many things spoken of In connection wi'.h the duties of the husband are equally true of the wife1. In all tilings she must be true In the utmost sense. Husbands succeed by the help of a good, light minded woman who Interests herself in his nmbltlous. WILL ADAPT IIF.P.SF.I.F. After marriage she will llnd that things arc not what she leally consid ered they would be, but If she Is a (rue wonian the necessary adaptulijii will be her llrsl thought and effort Her work Will soon be III evidence ".nd the home will be the one unfailing source of Joy In Hie husband, The-i, loo, she should not ueglct the spirit ual side. So should this phase of the home life he that when the elilldr n nio entering Into th" lircle, worldllne:is should not lie the predominant feat in e, but that spirit which hinds up to God should pervade ecrythlng part of Hie home constructions. I must refer to the motherhood phase of thin home before concluding. If the home Is to be what It Is Intended to be there must be motherhood, hut 1 iw I niitiiy there are that lack this essen tial requisite. 1 do not forget that this fact exists not always because of intent. Where this Is so 1 regret with them that no children will bless the union. The seiiptuial Injunction "lie fruit ful and multiply" l little heeded In American homes. While I belirvo my own congregation ;s one ot the purest from the standpoint of the social evils, so pievnlent In this and other cllles, vol, in a series of sermons ot this kind, l feel It to be niv duty to raise rav voice' In condemnation and winning, In words that bear no uncertain sound. I do this beciuse through the wider circulation of the press these words of mine will reach an audience not to be compared with the comparative few who will hear the spoken words from thJs pulpit.

The time Is long past when silence can be a vlttue, and It seems as though the vry stones would cry out, giving warning of the danger which threatens our social life and health. No wonder that many physicians ne glect the assembling tliemselvcs to gether In tin house of Ood, on the Sabbath day, because among those who aro present. In foiiic cases, are found the moral lepers of society "outward ly beautiful, but within full of dead men's bones, and all uncleanncss." The home without children Is only half a hoiiu Tho home lu Its purity Is the nation's bulwark. Ood's law Is an Inllexible one "lllghti otisne-ss ex alteth a nation, hut sin Is a reproach to any people. From our homes, kept right by prayer to Ood, should ema nate sweet Influences through our chil dren who came lo us In welcome. Homes wherein a mother's love exists, homes to which the chtldicn return from school or play, and where a wel i'ome awaits them. "He It over so humble there Is no place like home." DR.
