DR. HARRIS IN PENN
AVENUE CHURCH
DELIVBUED THE SEIIMON AT
THE EVENING SERVICE.
He Made an Appenl for a Moro Gen
eral Interest in the Simple Truths
of the Gospel The World Needs
Salvation, There Are Always Hen
That Need Christ Tho Doctrine of
Salvation Should Be Carried to
Every Man, Woman and Child in
tho World.
The I!ev. John U. HarrlP, I.L.D.,
prteldent of the Hucknell university,
preached n very able sermon lust even
ing In the renn avenue Haptist church.
He took lis his text Psalms lM.rt; "He
that Roeth fortlt, '""' weepcth benrliu?
precious fruit shall doubtlcsy come
nff.Un with reJolcliiK bringing his
sheaves with him."
The doctor delivered a simple nnd
earnest npppal. based uprn the words
of the Ip.vt, for n more ncnernl Inter
est In the simple truths of the gospel.
He said In part:
"Let us lake the words of this text
to our hearts nnd profit thereby. Some
say we need salvation; others t'ny we
want salvation. There Is a vn?t dif
ference between need and want. The
w.rld needs salvation, there are men
liete tonlKht who need salvation. There
aiv always men that need Christ.
"IJut the world doesn't want salva
tion, not at all. Hut the doctrine of
salvation should be carried Into the
workshop; It should be brouKht to the
man In the harvest Held; It should be
parried to every man, woman and
child In nil the world.
MOHMON'S WAY OF PUEACJIING.
"We should profit by the example- of
some of the other religious sects. Take
the Mormons for ln'.tani p. They are
rjoliifj about the city of Chicago at the
present time in pairs, vlsltlni? every
home, and talking to everybody that
will listen, talking the doctrine of Mor
monlsni. This Is the right way; not
tho Mormon's doctrlti", but his wny of
prcachlnn It.
"Lot jis he 'button-holers' and let
us not leave go of a man until v.'e
have convinced hint of the truth of
God's word. It Is not the preachlnp,
not the choir sinning, not the novel
character of the preacher himself that
Is the essential thin? In winning soul"
to Christ. It Is the individual work
tint counts. There must be an Indiv
idual forth-fining If victory Is desired.
"And It must be a purpnseful forlh
golng. Paul did not go about like a
man beating air, but there Is n great
deal of this kind of preaching at the
present lime. There must bo something
definite In view and that definite some
thing should be to work for Christ and
"The duty of the minister Is not to
his gospel.
argue or debate. Ministers should not
proclaim error or spend valuable time
In refuting Herhert Spencer from the
pulpit, but should use their best efforts
In proclaiming the glad tidings of sal
vation. The purpose should always be
that the one thing men need above all
else Is salvation.
ACCOMPANIES THE WOHD.
"The Holy Spirit accompanies the
word of Ood. We ministers of the gos
pel do not preach in our own strength
but In the strength of Ood.
"The church Is not always on the top
wave of the billow, the ebb and How of
the tide must be taken Into considera
tion. The pmgress is not always In an
ascending line, sometimes It Is what
might 'be termed spiral and sometimes
rellex. but there Is always a going and
a persistent going,
"If we keep going forth nnd weep
ing, there is a certainty of homecom
ing. The philosophy of today Is ever
changing, today you think you have
mastered and tomorrow It changes.
There Is also a continual change In
theology, but theology Is only man's
thoughts on religion. Hut the doctrine
of salvation never changes. It Is not
philosophy, nor theology.but the simple
truth that Ood came Into the world and
died for men and that all He asks Is
repentance.
"Let us all go forth nnd teach the
word In the Sunday school, to our
neighbors nnd in our home, nnd there
will be no need to worry for the glori
ous result, as it is sure to come."

VICIOUS ASSAULT
AND BOLD ROBBERY
FATHER AND SON ATTACKED
BY FIVE COLORED MEN.
Affair Tools Place in the Early Even
ing on Linden Stieet Bridge Citi
zens Who Found the Wounded Vic
tims Trail the Assailants and Put
the Police on Their Track Four
Arc Arrested After a Lively Fight
but One Escapes.
A murderous assault and highway
robbery was committed upon two men
about 7.30 o'clock last evening on the
Linden street bridge by a gang of col
ored toughs. Four of the latter were
placed tinder arrest, but one of them
broke away from the ofllcer holding
him nnd escaped after a hot pursuit.
Joseph Cross, of -IIS Wright's court,
formerly chef of Company D, Thir
teenth regiment, nnd his son. Joseph
Cross, jr., were the vlcltlms. They
were crossing the bridge Just as dark
ness was setting In. The young man
was riding his bicycle slowly nlong
the roadway and his father was walk
ing on the sidewalk talking to him. The
bridge was deserted, except for a party
of colored men, who were coming in
the opposite dliection.
When the latter reached Cross and
his son, according to the hitter's story,
they sprang at them without warning.
Two had scaled the Iron railing sep
arating the two parts ot the bridge,
and these knocked young Cross off hlq
wheel. The fnther In the meantime
wns taken In hand by the rest ot tho
party nnd felled to the ground.
DKSPKtlATR RESISTANCE.
He made n desperate resistance, but
was kicked rejientedly on the head and
face b the assailants, rendering him
unconscious. The fellows went through
their clothes and took $10 from the
young man and $t or $7 from the fath
er. After Indulging In a few minor vi
cious kicks thev took their departure,
running towards the central city.
Two men had come up by this time
and they followed them to 320 Ilny
inoiid court. The men then started
for Peiin avenue, where they found
Patrolman Steve Dyer on duty. He
accompanied them, and. meeting Pn
trolmnn Potter, who was off duty, nt
the coiner of Penn avenue and Linden
street, took him with him.
They went direct to the scene of the
assault, uheii they found Patrolman
Saul, who had arrived from West
Seranton. The two Injured men had by
this time been assisted home. The
three ofllcers, accompanied by several
citizens and the men who had fol
lowed the gang, went direct to 320 Ray
mond court, where the crowd wns found
sitting outside.
There were live altogether and Oill
cers Dyer and Saul each grabbed one
and Ofllcer Potter two. The men fought
savagely, and the fifth man was "lost
In the shullle." A start was made for
the Centre street station house, Otflcer
Dyer and prisoner ahead, with OIHcer
Pottur nnd his two chnrges following
nnd Officer Saul bringing up the rear.
FOl'GHT WITH OFFICEHS.
When the corner of Penn avenue nnd
Linden stieet wns renched, the wife of
Smith, one of the two held by Patrol
mnn Potter, rushed out, threw her
arms mound his neck and urged him
to escape. Instantly taking the advice,
he Jerked forward, the other man hold
ing back. He finally broke loose nnd
ran ut full speed down Penn avenue.
Potter turned his other prisoner over
to Saul and started in pursuit, accom
panied by two or three citizens. When
tit- Penn Avenue Haptist church was
reached Smith ran around the lower
side with Potter and one of the men
close at his heels. The latter drew his
revolver and fired one shot, but It evi
dently did not take effect, ns It did not
Impede the fugitive.
He squirmed through a pile of boxes
in the rear mid before It was realized
by l'ottt r or any one ele be had run
out the oth'er lde of the lot nnd up
Penn avenue. He wae followed and
was reen to turn up Mulberry street,
but he apparently "vanished Ip.fo thin
air" at this point as all sight if him
was lost.
The other prisoners were safely
lodged In the Center street station.

ELABORATE ELECTRIC MACHINE
Has Just Been Placed in the Lacka
wanna Hospital.
One of the llnest stnlle electric ma
chines ever made In this country hns
been purchased by the Lackawanna
hospital from Electrician 1 T. Collins,
of Lackawanna nventte. The machine
embodies a number of entirely new
features which ure the Invention of Mr.
Collins nnd upon which he suys he hart
labored for almost ten years. It was
made for him by the Wnlte Hartlctt
Manufacturing company, of New York
city.
The machine Is very large, tiehig six
feet high and six feet wide. It has a
voltage of 230.000 volts and when In
operation a spark as long ns eighteen
Inches can bo produced between the
electrodes.
Electricity Js becoming more nnd
more popular every day as a curative
agent, and the Lackawanna hospital
will now be able to offer us complete
a course of electrical treatment as can
bo found In the country. In addition
to tho other appliances there Is an
X-ray attachment comprising all the
latest Improvements In this lino of
work. The quality of light produced
In the Crooke's tube by this machine
Is pronounced by experts to be the
clearest ever seen. During a private
experiment Inst Saturday, tho doctors
wereenable.ttoseethrough a lloureseent
screen the pulsating heart.of the per
son plnced In front of the-rnys.
The most unique featute. however. Is
the electrical bath apparatus. A low
stand with glass legs Is brought out
nnd upon this the patient stands. A
brass distributor Is suspended over his
heni'l nnd the stand and this distribu
tor ure then electrllled. The effect
Is truly marvelous. The patient's hair
Instantly stands on end and spanks can
be drawn from the air wlthlnn foot
or the patient's body by simply
placing the hnnd within the electrllled
nreti. This bath Is useful In nor
vous debility, neurasthenia and rheu
matism of old standing.
There are nlso appliances for giving
arlous other kind of special treat
ment, the larger portion of which are
new. This city hns been badly in
need of such a machine for some time,
especially the X-ray part.

wore nt least two hundred of them. On
this particular day a thunderstorm
came up and a bolt of lightning struck
almost In the centre of the men. A
dozen or more of them were stunned
by the blow and knocked down. One
man, who was standing very near
where the bolt struck, had his clothes
burned a little. He was all tight In a
few minutes, ntrd went about his work
About quitting time he put his hnnd In
his pocket to look ut his watch, and,
much to his surprise, found his pocket
empty and Hip bottom of It torn out.
He went back to where he fell when
the lightning struck and found a rough
chunk of sliver, all that remained of
his watch. The heat from the light
ning had evidently melted it, and it
burned Its way through tho pocket and
fell to the ground."
"If that story won't convince you on
the spot, I have one that will," said the
pork packing man of Kansas City.
"Before I go further let me state that
this story Is an actual fact and no
fooling. In Arizona last summer Mrs.
11. J. Allen, wife of the financial ngent
of the United Verde mine, wns seated
In a room with another woman sew
ing. A thunderstorm was raging nut
side, when suddenly a clap of thunder
came nnd a flash of light which blind
ed the women sewing. After they had
recovered form the shock Mrs. Allen
found that a bolt had come down the
chimney, nnd ns It tlew neross the room
It brushed ngalnst her back hair and
melted all Hip hairpins that had held
It up a few moments before. A further
Investigation revealed the fact that the
bolt had struck the corner.' of a bed
In the adjoining room, shattering the
wood. Strange ns It may seem. Mrs.
Allen's hnlr was not even singed."
The other members of the party
moved uneasily In their chairs, except
ing the Chicago man. Turning to his
companions, he said:
"While In Oeorgla a year ago last
spring a darkey was struck by light
ning nnd lives to tell the tale. He' was
riding home across a cotton field din
ing n thunderstorm when n bolt of
lightning struck him between the
shoulders. It ran down his hack,
burned a hole In the saddle, killing the
mule under him. He fell off the mule
nnd walked home In the rain, bemoan
ing the loss of his suit of nlothes, which
had boon badly torn by the lightning.
I'pon his arrival home, when he went
to change his clothes, his wife made
the discovery that the lightning had
made a white stripe down his black
back. He carries that mark to this
da."
