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.

Vli wed the lht three sermons ot the
series nml called attention to tho
salient point. tliffulii found. 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

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. To In hi pplly married nnd to
reipalii i. thtonuh life, is fhi lilgln si lot
lot a man and Woman In this win Id.
Lit me s.n by way of preliminary:
li. no a home! A bi'irdniii house Is no
home' A w fe Is especla 1- endowed with
the hntue instinct mid she will never be
satl"tiul until she has entered a place that
she can call her own.

home. I'm- Install! e the'v niuv be sel
llshiiiss tint must be overcome sharp
coriio's to In vi. n I'll hi mutual h'ip
ftiln ."s and ci I'stil.-ratcneiis that never
could bo necmiipltnlieil outside of tlis
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. Commit her. be ad
vised by her. let her divide with ou In
sorrow or joy, show her that she Is to
you what no other can be and your
success Is sure, but cense for a moment

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.
A'hat an av fill state of affairs would
be revealed sin aid the experience of
reputable physicians nnd the- nefarious
transactions ol Irresponsible persons be
discloed. mr reputable physicians
come In contact with these Cain mark
ed wives and pr. IV ssional necessity
doses their lips. The charlatans or
quacks, fatten on these awful fruits.
Tin-: on i;at sin.
The destruction o unborn human life
Is the groat "American Sin." 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."
