men Defeat Scranton Bicycle Club
at Base Ball,
A fair sized audience nssscmbled at
the Simeon Methodist Episcopal
church Inst evening and listened to an
ublo discourse by the pastor, Re. J.
B. Sweet, on "The Increase of His
Kingdom." The Simpson Mule qunr
tette sang several selections nnd
Thomns Abraham and Harry Wrlglcy
sang a duet entitled "Rock if Agej'
In a faultless manner.
Bev. Mr. Sweet, taking as his text
John, 3:30, "He must Increase, but I
must decrease," said In part as folllws:
These ale the words of Jnhn (Ho linn.
tlst nnd are spoken concerning Jesus
Christ. In the sweep of prophetic vision
ho sees tho decline of his own mission,
tho passing nwny of his ministry, and
the establishing of a new kingdom which
was to be the potential kingdom of the
world In time and for eternity. He had
already Introduced Jesus as the fulllll.
meat of porphecy, the answer to their
longings for a Mitsluh, and now ho as
serts him to be the founder of a new re
ligion, the declnrer of new principles
which were to be operative In life and
helpful to nil mankind. John was but
Hating what had already been asserted
In the days of the past.
Isaiah hud given utterance to the
thought that Christ's kingdom should be
an everlasting kingdom und that there
should bo a constant Increase of his gov
ernment. Uzeklcl, In tho Sunday school
lesson of today, gives us a beautiful il
lustration, In the swelling river, of tho
Increase of Christ's kingdom. Daniel,
with the figure of the stone cut out of the
mountnln without hands, prophecies of
tho Increasing growth of Jesus Christ nnd
of his kingdom, nnd yet. viewed from the
standpoint of the limes, the statements
of prophets and the utterance of John ap
pear exceedingly strange and Improb.
able.
A new order of things to he established
which should be so successful that It
would constantly Increase In value. In
userulness nnd extent to be established
by n poor, friendless, despised carpenter,
without reputation, without the Influence
of some great scholastic institution, with
out political prestige and without wealth.
Yet by word, by deed, by life, by death
to so triumph thnt the light which flooded
Judcn's hills, when he was born, would
so Increase in brlllinnaey and power that
It should lighten the whole world; that
the sweet song of the night should ring
down the ages and harmonize the dis
cords of life.
Ylewed from the world's standpoint the
establishing of n new kingdom by tho
methods proposed was predestinated to
failure. How would we of today do It.
lly the gathering together of our best
material. As England sent forth her best
men as aids for the attempted discovery
of the northwest passage, or the north
pole. As Stanley chose men best fitted to
aid him in his search for Livingston, as
we make choice of our be'st, most tal
ented nnd highly educated men to repre
sent us In foreign courts. But Jesus
Christ establishes his kingdom and ex
pects Its increase by methods utterlv at
variance with ours. He makes choice of
crude, raw material, that which appears
utterly out of place for the accomplish
ing ot Ms mission and work. Poverty
and Igm. ranee tire not commendable at
tributes for kingdom building, but la
takes llsheimen ar.d publicans, outcasts
nnd despised ones, enthuses them with
his own spirit, lives in their presence a
life that Is a constant education, laces
himself Into their affections as he de
clares his love for them, nnd for all men,
nnd nuis-os these even his ambassadors,
his discoverers of nations, his explorers
Into the coldness of sinful life to dis
cover a passacc for his truth and with
them establishes his kingdom on lines
of constant increase.
Its development appeared to be long in
time, nevertheless It is sure. Sure us tho
triumph of the dawn against the dark
ness of night: sure as the triumph of
spring niralnsl the lee bound forces of
winter; sure as the growth of the seed
against the de-lays and demands of time
for
Jesus shall reign where'r the sun
Doth his succcrslve Journey run,
His kingdom sort ad from shore to shore
Till moon shall wax and wane no mole.
TO LAY DOI'BLE TRACK.
During the coming week men em
ployed by the Scranton Railway com
pany will commence to tear up the old
track on South Main avenue, between
Wnshburn nnd Luzerne streets. It Is
to be replaced by a double track, mak
ing a complete stretch of double track
from Jackson to Luzerne street.
It Is the object of the company to
give as good service ns possible, und as
much delay Is caused dally by Luzerne
nnd Taylor cars meeting each other at
the top of the hill, near Division street.
It has been derided to lay the double
track. It Is probable that In a short
time double track will be laid to the
city line. This would be the means of
giving to this side an excellent street
railway service.
Men employed on the work of laying
new rails on North Main avenue com
pleted their work on Saturday after
noon nnd yesterday the cars were run
ning via the North Ninth nnd West
Linden street route. The job of laying
the new rnlls on North Main avenue is
said to bo one of the best In the city,
steel ties being used Instead of the
wooden ones. It Is claimed that the
tracks will last for half a century. Con
siderable time wns consumed In the
work, but the Job merited It.
GRAND RALLY.
A grnnd rally of the Volunteer forces
of this city will be held In the Ply
mouth Congregational church this
evening at 8 o'clock.

to take part: Captain Anderson, A. D.
