DR. GIFFIN'S SAGE ADVICE.
Contained in a Sermon He Delivered
Last Night.
Hev. Dr. Glliln delivered a stirring
addt oss last evening In Kim P.irK
church, the subject suggested by mobs
and lynchlngs, "The Advice of the
Town Clerk Needed Now." The text
referred to a riot among the Epheslans
when one man's coolness controlled tho
mob. It was from Acts 19-3G: "And
the town clerk said: 'We ought to
do nothing rashly.' ' The speaker said
in part:
"One man In a. mob, one sane peison,
sui rounded by a mass of howling lun
atics. It Is a good thing to have one
man In a city who can keep his head
in tho midst of excitement. This man
could not only keep records, but quell
riots. The populace is always in dan
ger of doing rash and reckless things.
"It is high time that our safety Is
understood as being In legal means.
Wo ought to practice coolness Individ
ually to resolve never to act hastily."
To the young men tlte reverend
speaker suggested that the text: "Do
nothing- jnshty." might well be put
up in offices, banks, and courts of just
ice and also on bill boards In public
place, that tho world might learn It
well and proilt theteby.
REV. MR. WARING ACCEPTS.

city and with Mr. Waring at Its head
It will undoubtedly continue in Its good

Lutheran church at Wllliamsport, but
ho will not take up these now duties
until ho has had a few months rest.

TWENTY YEARS
AS ITS PASTOR
CELEBRATION IN PROVIDENCE
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
At tho Morning Service a Special
Sermon Was Preached by the Rev.
George E. Quild, in Which He Gave
a Short Rovlew of His Pastorate,
Which Has Been Crowned with
Great Results in a Sacred, No Less
Than in a Material Way.
Twenty years ago yesterday, the
Itev. George 13. Guild became pastor of
the Providence Presbyterian church, on
North Main avenue, and since that
time the church has had a marvelous
growth.
Yesterday, in honor of the successful
termination of the term, special ser
vices wore held and tho pastor preached
a historical scimon at the morning ser
vice. Rev. S. C. Logan, I). !., assist
ed at tho service and tho choir sang
tvto anthems.
In the evening, Dr. Logan snoko In
review of twenty yeats In tho church
work in tills city and referred specially
to the (Providence church. Rev. Mr.
Guild also made a few rcmaiks. The
auditorium nud pulpit were picttlly
decorated with Mowers and plnnts.
Tonight tho annual session of tho
congregation will bo held and at its
conclusion an Informal reception will
bo tendered the pastor and his wife at
the church and ft lends are cordially
Invited. The sermon preached nt the
morning service in part is as follows:
It Is needless to comment upon Hio
fact that memory is uhvnsB busy ut fin
anniversary beason, tho Important thing
Is tho material with which memory deals.
If llfo Is viewed by us merely as a suc
cession of events, if memory Is con
cerned only with the Journal of each
dais doings, or gains, or pleasures, or
disasters, It has unlimited possibilities
of sadness, Indeed It Is more likely to bo
sad than Jojful. S.id because tho world
must pass away and Is pnsslng away,
friends must die ami are dvlng, fortunes
must chungo and arc changing, and sor
rows aro Inevitable. But you observe
that tho Psalmist's retrospect though It
touches facts of chango ond loss, It nev
ertheless is not centered In them. The
great fact In his review of tho past and
In his outlook Into the fuluro Is God.
BltOUGIlT OUT MORE SHARPLY.
That substantial tact is brought out
moro sharply by his sorrow, Just as tho
overcast of tho sun often throws a prom
inent object into clear outline. Hear
David speak, "My soul is bowed down
within me, thcreforo will I remember
Thee from tho hills " It is God in the
foreground of memory and God In the
foiegtound of futuro expectation. Wheth
er ho looked baekward or forwaid,
whether he gazed Into the past, or tried
to pleico tho future, verily his lips blos
somed out Into that wonderful utterance
"There Is none like unto tho God of
Jcshurum who rldeth upon tho heavens
In thy help, and in his excellency on tho
sky, the eternal God Is thy refuge, and
underneath aie tho cverlabllng arms,
and ho shall thrust out tho enemy from
beforo thee."
. Dear friends, today concludes a period
of twenty years of our : elation as pas
tor and people, nnd it Is eminently proper
so It seems to mo that wo should unlto
in making It a halting placo whero wo
may bee God and Christ, in tho fore
ground of mcmoiy. nnd tho b.imo eter
nal God and Father, and his Son Jesus
Christ, In tho foreground of tlio futuie
dais. Yes, may God mako It a Bethel
placo, not altogether llko that of old
when Jacob was on his way seeking sue-
eess and God gao him a lslon or steps,
Joining earth and he.icn nnd of heaven
ly ministers going up and down between
himself and men.
it is not only fitting that we make
this :cv lew, not only our privilege, but
is it not a hounden duty now and then
to make a halt in our hurrying, rush
ing, exowding church lives, and think of
God's mercies and God's blessings, re
count God's goodness and sum up tho
multitude of God's favors, all of which
havo been so bountifully showered upon
us as a church, that we are constrained
to borrow tho Psalmist's woids: "If I
should count them they aro moro than
tho sands."
If we review these years of our mutuil
relation In tho scrvico of the Master,
merely as a succession of events. If to
day, memory Is only concerned with a
journal of each day's doings, or gains, or
losses, or plensures, or disasters, moro
than likely in that case, this day would
bo not a Joyful one, as It ought to be,
but a bad and painful one Instead.
HIS CALL TO T1113 CHURCH.
I first heard of tho Provldenco Pres
byterian church of Scranton through the
Itev. Dr. Charles S. Dunning, then of
Honcsdale, who In Jnnuary, 1S79, wrote
mo while In Union seminary, X. Y.., that
If I bhould bo invited to preach a Sab
bath In tho Provldenco church, he would
advise mo to go there nnd supply tho
pulpit. In response to a very cordial In
vltatlon written by Mr. James W. Gll
lesplo at tho request of the church, I
camo to Scranton, a perfect stranger,
nnd preached In the old church, morn
ing and evening the last Sunday In Jan
uary, 1S79, and then again tho becond
Sunday In February. During the second
week In tho following March I received
tlio Invitation subject to tho will of Pro
bytery to become tho pastor of tho
church.
Immediately upon the reception of tills
Invitation, I wrote my honored nnd do
voted friend, Dr. Dunning, about It, oIjo
telling him I had in my possession n
call to the First Presbyterian thurch of
Oxford, N. Y., and adding that tho Ox
ford church was the largest of the two,
located In a beautiful New York stato ll
lago and that the salary was a little
larger than that of tho Providence
church. Among other things, this is
what ho wroto me In reply: "If you
want an easy pastorato go to Oxford. If
you want hard work, where hard work
I think will tell for Christ, go to Scran
