Tho aftalr was in honor of Its being the seventh an nlversaiy of the organization of the mission and should have been held last Monday evening, but was post poned owing to the snow stoim.

Jn?nrv v,l' HstfUjriA V - HE TALKED TO THE CLERGYMEN UNIQUE MEETING AT THE PENN AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH. In the Morning Rev. Dr. John Rob ertson Spoke to the Pastors of the City In His Eearnest, Foiceful Way and Last Night Ho Hold the First of the Series of Meetings Ho Is to Conduct at tho Peun Avenuo Church. Rev John Robertson yesterday morn ing nddressed the rmstors of the city and last night he conducted the llrst of tho scries ot lcvlvals in the Pemi Avenuo Haptlst church. Probably never in the chuieh history of Scranton havo so many clergymen been present at n Monday moinlng ministerial meeting as vesterdny at the Venn avenuo Haptlst church, when they were nddressed by Rev. Dr. John Rob eitsnii. the Scotch evangelist. All the iiroinlnent nnstors of the city weie pie- ent. Me wns giacefully introduced by Rev. Mr. Pierce, of tho l'enn avenue Haptlst church. Rev. Mr. De Ortichy pieslded. At tho conclusion of the ad dress John T. Watklns sang a beautiful so'o Dr. Robertson said he was ahvavs pleased to have the pilvllege eif speak ing to ministers, as ho was sure to have an attentive audience. Mis first experience was not in lining a kirk, but In emptying it. Mis caTlltst charge was a fishing village in the north of Scotland. In the summer, however. It was a swell lesort. Mo found It hard to be a llsherman In tho winter and a t.wcll In the summer. Mis most prom inent parishioner was a man who sut day after day In tho church with his lingers In his cars and who at tho close of the sermon was wont to temark on the church steps ' damned bosh " mad nxpr.RicNci:. It was a hard expeilonce, but at that time the young minister met C. II. Spin geon, beginning a filendshlp that will extend beyond the grave. One day in a drive when he was heart-sore and discouraged, Dr. Robertson told Mr. Spurgeon ot his gteat trial. Tho other listened and then said "and jott leally have a man who sits through tho seimon with his fingers In his eais!" Tho young pastor assured him again on this point and added- "What would you do-'" Again and again the great pn.lehei lepcated his quciy "and you lealls have a man who sits with his flngeis In his e.its thiough the s.et mon"" The distressed young man, on the point of breaking down, continued to ak almost with a sob. "Rut Mr. Spur geon what would sou do?" Suddenly tho latter giew grave and with great delibeiatlon answered solemnly "I should pray that a lly might light on hih nose." The hpectacle of the gieat man of the parish jemovlng his ob stinate flngeis from his eais to blush away tho ilv relieved the tension un der which tho young minister h'ld lab ored nnd ho laughed long nnd heartily. "I haven't been visited by nilnlsteilal blues since." be added In telling the incident. The address that followed was chief ly in the way of an earnest sugges tion that tho ininlstets take some time fr.itv, elio lntt.1 il.iv tn li.- nlnne with God. Mis le'inaiks were drawn from the Pentecostal history In Acts . .must hi: ri:-rntacti:i The speaker said that the ciueillxion of the Son of God has to take plat o in each e.xpeticnee. So must IVntuiost be le-ei. acted in the ptesuit of evciy Individual lite. The principal lequWlte tor this Is waiting on God. Theie wan never Mieh need of wen king d in the .stupendous woik ot toduv in this time of iu-h und huny It has been suld by a gicator thlnkei that the minister saddles blmsclt with cngaireuunt and the devil lides him to uselessness. The tattling machine! of meetings, socle ties and associations In tho church und society xob him of hl& waiting upon God, and the tired, fretted nerves be come exhausted by this itisli The euie Is to shut the door upon God and one tt "elf and have a time ot waiting that no one may dlstutb. A learned doctor once gravely ex piessed his alarm in a weighty paper, in which he stated that the Iniquitous ptopoed method td whirling peopla over the countiy bv means of hteain would piodueo ull suits of evils and that as chief of these the people would suiter from "dellilum fmloiHsm " This dire aflllction hasn't appeared anvwheie except In the chinch ot God Tho doe trine of quietism In vogue In the mid dle ages Is not bo be llghtlv Hung aside. Me uiged a spliit of unselfishness among the clergy, a willingness to see their biethron succeed and declared that the woik of God cannot leach Its true development until the biting, bit. ter spliit of jealousy is dug up by the roots. It is evident that Dr. Robert son Is not an advocate of deiniiuiua tlonallsm. TMD MVDNING MINTING Last evening there was a very laige congiegatlon at the opening of the ie vlval services at the Penn Avenue Bap tist church.

COURSEN were to he no evnngcllstlo tricks In theso set vices It was through the Moly Ghost that tho regeneration of souls would be made. What was wanted was tho rower of God In these meet ings. It Is unllkelv eases that the Moly Spirit often selects. Zncchcus was a poor little wiotcli down in Jericho. Me was tho worst kind of n humble reprobate, an outcast Jew. Rut ho wanted to see Jesus nnd he had hard fighting, but ho did see tho Mnstr. It was to this moan little man, n tax gather that Jesus rpoke. Mis name was a misnomer. JJaccheus means pure, but It Is often tho dcspciuto cases, the ones deemed by tho world outside the pale of salvation upon whom tho Moly Ghost descends. The address tluoughout was given the most thoughtful attention. Meet ings will bo continued through the week. The afternoon meetings will bo helel at 4 o'clock. BRAKEMAN'S SAD DEATH.

They Will Havo Pluralities Ranging from Six Hundred to One Thou sand Chnli man Schndt, of tho Democratic Committee Is Also Ex tremely Confident-Pluralities Will Bo So Largo That ContestB Will Be Unnecessary, Says Mr. Schadt. The Festive Boodler Active. "Prom the present outlook I am con fident tho entire Republican city ticket will be elected by pluialltles ranging fiom COO to 1,000," said W. S. Millar, chalrmnn of tho Republican city ex ecutive committee, last night. The lln lshlng touches had been put on the last odds and ends of the woik of the cam paign, leports had been received from all sections of the city and Mr. Millar was In a position to speak with author ity. Mln confidence In the result of to da's battle was founded on tho most trustwoithy Information that could bo obtained. "This cltv Is now normally Republi can," Mr. Millar continued, "and our candidates are clean, honest and able. Men ngalnst whose Integrity not a word can be said. They will give Scranton a splendid administration of public af fairs that will Justify the confidence the voters reposed In them. These can didates have waged an earnest, honor able campaign and their work has been effective. I am n believer in the su premacy of tho Republican party, a be liever In the principle that Republican should stand by their party at every election. It's the only way to make the party strong, vigorous and triumph ant. If theie Is one thing moie than another I would like to Impress upon every Republican It Is to vote tomor tow and vote light. If they do this, there can be no question about the re sult." Till: DEMOCRATIC VIRW. If Chairman Millar is confident, so Is Field Mais'hal Schadt of the Dcmocintlc hosts The utgent demands of the members of his puitv who wanted a tillle for "expenses" drove Mr. Schadt away fiom hendquaiters early In the da . and w hen seen by a Tribune man he- was closeted with Attorney John P. Kelly, treasurer ot tho city committee. 'We are going to win tomorrow, that's certain," was the emphatic way Mr. Schadt put It. "Aie vou prepared to give any llg uies?" queried the leporter. 'I haven't done any flguiing," leplled the pottly lee man. "but you can tell the readeis of The Tilbune that the pluialltles for the whole ticket will lie so huge that contents will be entirely unnecessaiy. That ouuht to be good news for the people ot Scianton, don't you thlnkV" Confidence, it will be obseived, is one of tho strong teatuies ot this cam paign That today's conlllet Is viewed with no oidlnary Inteiest wa shown by the geneial discussion of the fight In all parts of the e lty yesterday. Wherever men gathered there was sure to be dis cussion concerning the prospects of the lival candidates wlios-o claims will be passed upon bv the voteis today.
