THIRD SERMON ON WOMEN Or THE OLD TESTAMENT. Delivered by Rov. J. B. Sveet In Simpson M. E. Church Last Even ing Pi omlses of Qod nnd Their Fulfillment Polygamous Practices Condemned Casting Out of tho Mother nnd Son nnd Their Appeal to God How They Wandered in tho Desert Lessons to bo Taught by These Citcumstances. Rov. J II Swoot, p.iBtor of the Simp son Methodist Episcopal church, pleached the third sermon Inst even ing In the series on the "Women of the Old Testnment " Ills subject was "Ilagar and I!r Trouble," nnd the text was taken from Genesis 21:17, "What Allcth Thee. Hnsrar?" Rev. Sweet spoke In part as follows: It Is not nn eisv task to take up thn life of Hnprar nnd speak In detail of the events which constitute her history. That she. a slave, should occupy so prominent a pl.ice In the annals of her time, should affect the history of after airt and that we today should bo within the ring of her life seems strange, passing strange. The providences of God ate not con fined to tho free-born: the mlstrrs may presume upon birth nnd position, this is of God; favoritism Is Ills provi dence, but "Hi Bctteth down the mighty f lom their seat.nml hath estab lished them of low deiee" F.irah was the wife ot Abraham. Hngar was her slave, but thoie Is .i providence In the life of Hagar just as trul) a.s In the life of Sarah If Sarah Is to be the mother of nations. Hagar Is to be the mother of a nation w hose national traits are to be preserved and whose descendants shall continue as long as, there Is n desert to vv.indet in TROUULn AND MISERY. Now observe that out fiom a piom Istd blesltiff trouble and misery are produced, not because of the blessing. litit because of failure to grasp Its tiutli Sl Unit s had God assorted unto Abraham that his seed should bo nuuuious great and Important, but ho Is now a childless old man, Satah, his wife, Is skeptical concerning the prom ise, and the question. How ran these things be'' 13 a most perplexing one 15ut bv and bv she thinks she has solved It nnd she iiroimsis a kind of polygamous proceedings Abiahnindoes not hesitate in consenting to her propo- , sltlon and Hugar comes to tho front to be the presumed fulflllerof God's ptom iso in the minds of this aged couple We cry out against any act th.it viti ates a home Shame to Abraham and Sarah have thev forgotten the moralizing of the Almighty as tecorded In the second chapter of Genesis "Therefore shall a man leave his father and mothe", and shall cleave unto his wife, nnd they Mini! be one flesh " IN OUR OWN LAND Do we temembei that this was four thousand jenrs ago and lest we forget, it may not be out of place to state that today, clamoiing for ndmlttance to tho "Hall of Congiess" In our own Inml Is a man who, with three living wives, would stand ns an Illustration of polygamous living to be continued under the cloak of Mormonlsm How far are we. today from Abra ham'' Hut. like the drink t raffle, tilers is no good coming out of It, for soon Sarah becomes jealous of Hngar. When she found that her own plan was suc cessful then she despised her plan and hated her maid servant, and Abraham had a disagreeable time of it In his tent hat em with the lepinlngs. and ro vlllngs of his w ife, and the overbear ing actions of Hagat, until In sheer desperation he gives In. unqualifiedly Sarah dealt hardly with Hagar, until Hagar could enduie It no longer, and saying, ' Retter tho wilderness and death to this trannv" she lied from the face of hpr mistress If jou will caiefully read the six teenth chapter of Genesis you will there find why she returned to the ten of her mistress and submitted herself to whatever of hardship she might be called to endute the fifteenth verce of that chanter tells us that Hagar bore Abraham a son nnd he called his namo Ifchmael. CASTING OUT OF THE ROY. I question whether Snrah ever be came reconciled to the condition which now for sixteen jears was In evidence Perhaps, In the rejoicing w hich came with the birth of her own child Isaac, she might have been inclined to be for getful of the past, but when the feast was made in honor of the weaning time and she found Ishmael making I fun of It all. then In rage and Jealousy she demanded the casting out of the boy and his mother. "And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight." This is the result of their wnongdolng Sarah Inhumanlv determined upon revenge. Abraham was grieved and in despair Rut "there is a prov Idence that shapes our ends, tough hew them as wo may." God's promise was to Abraham for Ifaac twentyyeais before Isaac's birth, God's promise was to Hagar for Ish mael Just previous to his birth "Send them forth for the sake of peace and hatmony." So Abraham answers Siarah sa lug- "Thev shall go in the morn ing " When the morning daw ns. Abra ham sends them forth, after prov idlng them with meagre provisions bread nnd a bottle of water Yonder is tho wilderness of Roer hheba "Come along ishmael, better. th( rugged rock and sterile soil, better the desolntion of nature w ith thee, my t-on, than the abundant plenty of tho camp of thy fathei, with constant bickering and disputing. Retter bread nnd water In the wilderness with thee, in) Uhm.ael, than tho feist of wean ing und attending miseries God help us' Come along " WANDERED IN THE DESERT When hungei came they nte their frugal meal, when night came, under the piotectlng ledge of rock ond r thev sought rest, when the moinlng dawned, they resumed their wander ing, and when night came they, hav ing exh lusted their bread nnd water hungrily, yet alnly, sought food and shelter Next mornings sun rose hotl) with hunger liicreas.-d nnd thirst aggi.t v.itcd. they staggered on, the great wilderness taunted them with Its bar lenness, a few little shrubs hero and yonder, no protection from the scorch ing, burning sun no wks oven where now they might find sheltei "Water1 Son. my son "Water" Courage, Ishmael, soon shall wo come to some camp where thou shalt have nil that thou canst drink Water! Yes, yes, my boy. I can almost hear tho murmuring of streams. Water' Water! Water'" Staggering blindly, the boy falls down, with swollen tongue nnd glazing eyes Tenderly tho mother, with strength born of desperation, lifts nnd carries him to the shrub vonder. lays him down by It, and then, unable to look upon the suffering which she can not iellive, or listen to the moans which cut her henrt ns i sharp knlfo. Hhe moves yonder, crying: "Let mo not seo the death of my child," and thorc. crying us onlv a mother can cry. Bho waited his death, nnd then herself to die. How much them Is In that state ment. Wo think God knows nothing of us, or about us. What does God know about my misery. He hns no ear for my cry of distress, "And God heard." Istncl, the nation Is in distress slaves, taskmasters the lash, nnd blttor bond age. " "How long, O Clod, how long!" And God heard. And In all ages, whether with Individuals or nations, n cry of distress is heard of God. And tho angel of God culled to Hngar out of heaven, "What allcth thee, Hngar? Tear not." So God not only hears but Ho helps. Understand, God arouses no hopes that Ho does not furnish means to bring Into fulilllmont. When God hears ho nnswers, and with tho answer comes tho certainty that our petition Is granted. "And God opened her )es and she saw n, well of water; nnd she went and filled the bottlo with water and gave tho lad drink." It Is ns easy for God to havo a well In the wilderness ns It is to have a wilderness without a well. The providence of God Is In evidence to savo Ishmael ns It was In subse quent days to save Isaac, and the poor bond woman. Thus Hagar Is under divine protection In tho wilderness ns surely ns Sarah Is under it in her tent and home WHAT ARE OUR LESSONS? First That In all the affairs of life God sees us. Male or female, poverty or wealth, with social distinction or without, the slave or the freeman, white or colored, nt home or nbtond, In comfort or discomfort, In danger or safety. We nie not out of the vision of the omniscient God Second God Is nnxlouslv solicitous concerning us "Wheie Is thy brother''" "What doest thou here.EHJah?" "Doest thou well to be angry?" "What alleth thee, Hagar?" The solicitude of God Is apparent In all the circumstances of life Third The extremity of tho human is the opportunity of the divine God answers the thirsty one who cries unto Him with a well in tho wilderness In conclusion, we may be wllderness dtiven and In fVesiwlr but "Messed ate they which thirst aftei tlghteousness, for they shall be filled " RELIGION AND LABOR. Thoughtful Seimon Deliveied Last Night by Rev. R. F. Y. Pierce in Penn Avenue Church. Rev R. r. Y. Pierce, pastor of the Penn avenue Rnptlst chinch spoke last evening on "Religion und Labnt or the Safeguards of the Nation." The ser mon was the first of a seiks t w ilk ingmen and their families During the service the hoir sang an anthem, tl.o solo parts being taken by Mi . Piank Rrundage and Miss Sadie Edwards. The text of Rev. Mr Pietce's dis course was taken from Prov. c 1(5, "The labor of th righteous .Utendeth to life" During the coutse of his re niaiks he said: The thiee gitat hafeguaids ui the na tion uro religion, labor und uduiation.

Tho plumbers' national convention at Peoria, 111 , last week, pledged itself to vote in favor of Scranton being se lected It was decided to extend tho fight against the theatres by sending com mittees nbout to solicit friends of labor to stay away from the shows until tho differences are adjusted. Tho boilermakers reported having won their strike at the Cliff works.
