HIGH SCHOOL TEAM DEFEATED.
Dlnghamton Proved Too Much for
the Local Fig Skin Pushers.
Tho old gold nnd blue of tlio Scran

Saturday nfternoon at tho linnds of
eleven sturdy young nthlotei from

yards. The fortune of the frame
swayed fiom side to side during the
llrst half, Ilrst one ten in nnd theV tho
other Retting possession of the ball.
No scoring, however, was done by
either side.
The second half opened terribly for
Scranton, as after the kick off, repeat
ed gains were made through the line
of tho boys from the Parlor Cltv, by
Wolsentluh, Schultz nnd Horan. These
advantages were followed by a long
gain of twenty ynrds mnde by the cap
tain nnd right hulf back, Clarence Do
How. Scranton's. hones wero doomed to
disappointment, however, as Ulnghum
ton now took the ball nnd by Hteudv
llne-plunglng and clever end jilavn car
ried the ball down tho Held, and ns
Ames crossed the lino for a touch
down, the Inst hope of tho high school
rooters disappeared.
Ulnghamton missed the goal nnd a
few minutes after the scoring of tho
touchdown time was called.
All things considered both teams
played a fine game, nnd although the

FOURTH SERMON
OF THE SERIES
ItEV. J. D. SWEET SPOKE LAST
NIGHT ON HA0HAEL.
Lessons to Be Drawn from Her Life.
What Joseph Was and What Ho
Became Was Largely Due to tho
Influenco and Caro of His Mother
Who Well Favored in Young Wo
manhood Was Crowned and Glori
fied with the Halo of Good Mother
hood. The fourth sermon In the scries on
the Women of the Old Testament was
delivered by Rev. J. H. Sweet in tho
Simpson Methodist Episcopal church
last evening. Ills subject was
"Rachael," and tho text was taken
from Genesis, xxix:17, "Rachael was
beautiful and well favored." Ho spoke,
In part, as follows:
There Is a proverb to tho effect that
"beauty Is only skin deep." 1 can con
ttlvo of Its being both true and falst
false if within tho exterior Is llfo noblo
und gracious, to supplement tho biuuty
ot face and form; truo If there is neith
er nobility or gentleness to mnka llfo
icsplcndcnt with good. Is It not also
possible (hat beauty of face and foim
may accompany a life that Is but an In
different thing, viewed from any stand
point, neither good nor bad; n llfo that
Just lives, or exists a phonographic doll
state, pretty, amusing, and that Is till
there Is of it.
"Rachel was beautiful and well favor
ed." What was her life? What was her
bcautv? Between the life of Hagar and
that of Rachel thcro Is a period of near
ly cue hundred and forty years. It ha'
been a history-making time. Abraham
had died at tho ago of olio hundred and
seventy-five yeais and had been burled
by the bide of Sarah In the cavo of Mach
pclah. Qod's blessing was visited then
upon Isaac (Gen., xv:ll), who with his
wlfo Rcbcknli, vyas dwelling by the well
Lahnl-rol. I need not go back to speak
in detail of the beautiful story of Re-
bekah and Isaac, so well known to nil,
how yonder In Mesopotamia. In tho City
of Nnhor, she was brought up nnd thero
found by Abrahams messenger, and
readily consented to a marriage with
Isaac, her cousin, or the prominent part
taken by Laban, Iit brother, in tho mar
llnge contract, and how this Laban was
to come tipon tho scene In after life.
THE TWIN BROTHERS
Twin biys were born to them and their
pomes were Esau and Jacob, nnd now
listen: Isuac loved Esau because he did
cat of bib enIson; but Rebekah loved
Jacob, and tho latter fact changed tho
course of history as Rebekah showed her
love for her favorite son. Isaac, believ
ing that ho Is near hln death, had sum
nioned Esau to cc forth to the chase,
that savoury venison might bo prepared
for him, nnd that tl en his blessing
Siiould bo given unto him. Efau starts
upon his mission
Now Rebekah had heard Isaac's mes
sage and statement, nnd determines that
Jacob blmll bo the recipient of the bless
ing now promised to Esau. How to cir
cumvent Esau and deceive Iaae are per
plexing questions, but with woman's tact
nnd determination sho succeeds; fixes
Jacob to look llko Esau, prepares savoury
viands for bis father, takes all the re
sponsibility upon herself, nnd sends in
Jacob for the blessing, and Isaac, de
ceived, blesses Jacob, "Ood give thco of
tho dew of heaven end the fatness cf
the earth, and plenty of corn and wine;
let peoplo serve thee, and nations bow
down to theo; bo loid over thy brethren,
and let thv mother's sons bow down to
thee; curbed be every ono that eurseth
thee, and blessed be ho that blesscth
thee."
Rebekah has succeeded, but Esau Is
Justly angry, and his anger Increaseo un
til ho detcimlnos i,pnn Jacob's death, to
avoid which his mother plans for J.is 1
safety nnd sends him off to her brother
Laban In Harau of Mesopotamia. "And
Jacob wont on his Journey and camo Into
tho land of tho people of the East."
A pastoral bceno yonder that most
precious possesslor of tho East, a well
of water, around it lying restfully nnd
patiently waiting aro flocks of sheep; tho
sheperds, watchful of their flocks, aro In
attendance until thev aro attracted by
tho coining of a stranger. "Whenco bo
ye? (Gen., xxlx:4) Of Haran aro we.
Know ye Laban, the bon of Nahor? Wo
know him. Is he well? Ho is well and
behold Rachel his daughter comoth with
the sheep. Well, water your sheep and
go and feed them. We must wait until
nil tho flocks be gathered together and
tho stono rolled from tho well's mouth;
then wo water tho sheep."
Jacob was gallant; as soon as Rachel
comes with her father's flock ho rolls
away the stono from tho well, as though
ho had authority, nnd waters tho flock;
then Jacob, gallant still, kissed Rnchel,
and lifted up his voice nnd wept. If you
can tell me why he wept when ho kissed
her your penetration and discernment is
far superior to mine.
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
Whether it was an eastern method and
manner of asking for more you must de
cide, but it was certainly a case of lovo
nt first sight, a lovo lasting, tender and
deep.
Laban lecelves Jacob Into his home nnd
here for a month he tarries as an hon
ored guest. Now Laban had two daugh
ters, tho name of tho elder was Leah,
and tho name of the younger was Rachel.
Leah was tender eyed, but Rachel was
beautiful and well favored. Laban said
to Jacob, "Stay with me, work for mo; I
will pay you wages; what shall your
wago be?" "I will work for you seven
years for Rachel; give her to me to bo
my wlfo and I will bo satisfied, for I
lovo her." So shall It be, seven years
and then Rachel. Please to notice:
First, tho labor of und for lovo Is light,
for lovo lightens labor. "And Jacob serv
ed seven years for Rachel; and they
seemed unto him but a few days, for the
lovo bo had to her." I have no hesitancy
in saying that to Jacob at least, thcto
wero In tho one he loved qualities ot
mind nnd heart far superior to any pos
sessed bv her sister or nny one of his
acquaintance; to him lovo was ussertivo

because not nlono wn3 their beauty ot
face and form, but all tho graces going
to mako a perfect nnd splendid woman;
for seven years would havo opened his
eyes to defects ot character; seven years
of steady association would bo sufficient
time to reveal the uncongenial nnd the
unhelpful.
But we And that seven years of tolling
scrvlco have not cooled tho ardor of tho
lover or quenched his dcslro to possess
what to him was tho most deslrablo thing
in nil tho world. Well for us, if in con
tact with tho good and tho beautiful as
seen In Jesus Chi 1st, we could servo for
seven years with unabated zeal, because
v.e lovo him.
Well for us If seeing In him the beau
tiful and well favored wo should so de
biro Him that we should count all labor
but pleasure, and nil walling but hap
piness, If we could sccuro to ourselves
Him who Is "Tho Chief among ten thous
and, nnd tho ono altogether lovely."

WILL BE DECEIVED.
Secondly. Ho who deceives will be him
self deceived. Jncob deceived his father
ond robbed Esau of the precious and
much craved blessing, und now Laban
deceives Jacob and for a tlmo robbed
him of that which was as precious to hhn
as the blessing of Isaac.
Jacob showed deception nnd reaped a
harvest of deception. He tolled for lovo
of Rnchel and Leah was tho ono given
him to open the flood-gato of memory
and reveal how ho had acted treacher
ously, and meanly, where another's In
terest was concerned. It holds truo with
us spiritually today, and In all de
partments of life; "What a man soweth
that shall he also reap," God's laws aro
true and sure, violate them and wo shall
reap what wo sow.
Thirdly, Observe that though our
sphere In life may not ba very exalted,
yet wo can work out to tho horizon of
our opportunities and privileges and al
ways accomplish good. Rnchel Is not a
very marked character, hut after nil,
working out in her life the history
which wns to so greatly affect tho com
ing nation. As the mother of Joseph sho
gavo life to ono of tho grandest and
greatest of men. A man next to tho
Man of Galileo and yet this Man of Gali
leo eamo from the lino of which despised
Leah wns the mother.
I believe Rachel to havo been a good
wife and an excellent mother, training
her boy Joseph to love God, tenderly ami
klni'ly caring for him, and what Joseph
was and what he became was largely duo
to yie Influence and caTe of that mother,
who, beautiful and well favored In young
womanhood, was crowned and glorified
with the hnlo of good motherhood.
Lastly, Learn that as Rachel died at
Ephrath and was blncerely mourned by
Jncob, that wo too shall reach our Eph
rath, and with all past experiences by
which to profit wo ought to bo mourned
as those whoso placo In life it will ba
hard to fill.

CHRIST'S ATTITUDE
TO GOVERNMENTS
DISCUSSED BY REV. I. J. LANS
ING, D. D., IN HIS CHURCH.
3
The Saviour's Opinions Wero Clearly
Defined on All Things Save Gov
ernment He Regarded All Govern
ment from a Moral and Religious
Point of View Proper Govern
ment Must Be Founded Upon tho
Basic Principle of Christ's Teach
ings It Is the Glory of Ours.
Rev. I. J Lansing, D. D., pastor of
the Green Ridge Presbyterian church
delivered nn nble and pertinent setmotv
last evening taking as his subject.
"The Attitude of Christ Toward Civil
Government." He took fcr bis text
Matthew, 22:21, "Render therofore un
to Caesar tho things that nrc Caesar's
nnd unto God the things that aro
God's," nnd spoko In part as follows.
To bo a true Christian, n. man must
not only be an Imitator of Christ, but
ho must also understand Christ. If wo
read Scripture carefully wo will ob
serve Christ's1 opinions regarding all
other things but government are clear
ly defined. Ills views upon ecclesias
tical and civil society, upon the family
and upon n hundred other kindred sub
jects are nil plain. You and I then ask
what were his views upon civil gov
ernment, that we mav be guided by
them.
Thero should be it great interest
taken in Christ's attitude upon this
question, as the government, after all,
Is but the peoplo. The Czar ot Russia
is only czar because tho people allow
him to be.
WERE NOT DENOUNCED.
Governments in tho time of Christ,
though they were oppressive nnd ty
rannical in their general character, aro
never denounced by him. Tho rule or
tho Roman emperors was excessively
cruel, but Christ never assumed nn at
titude of hostility. The taxation of the
Jewish people was oppressively severe,
yet His relation to the ruling govern
ment was never one of antagonism.
Thero wero many unsuccessful at
tempts made to draw Him out, of
which tho text is a subtle effort. There
was a question asked Him ns to
whether tho unjust tax or tribute
should bo paid the state, but He evaded
a conflict with the state by replying:
"Render unto Caesar the things that
are Caesar's, and unto God the things
that aro God's."
Christ was proof against all national
prejudice, never affirming one govern
ment ns being superior or more desir
able than another. In no sense was
He Indifferent to the wrongs and suf
ferings of mankind. He wept for hours
over tho fall of Jerusalem.
Christ always regarded all govern
ment from a moral nnd religious point
of view, yet He has dono more to amel
iorate tho condition of men than any
man that over lived.
THE FOUNDATION STONE.
Tho conclusions, tho 'broad conclus
ions, to be drawn from this attitude of
Jesus Christ to civil government are
obvious. They are' that If we aro to
have a proper government It must be
founded upon the basic principles of
Christ's teachings, and It is tho glory
of this government that it is founded
thus. Christ gave no sanction to nny
government, He never appealed to the
mob. or never to the ruler. Ho was In
no benso a partisan, as we are so often
in almost a violent way.
There is also a second great con
clusion or fact to bo drawn, namely,
that all governments must be looked
nt solely from a religious standpoint
and not ns nations, but ns upon single
men. Jesus Christ looked at all gov
ernment? tho way he looks at your
life and mine. Tho attempt is often
made to havo ono standard of morals
for tho state and ono for Individuals.
There Is but one standard of morals
for each and every person In this wide
world.
The man who Is honest in his pri
vate life, but dishonest in politics is a
dishonest man. I make tho assertion
that thero 13 not one government under
heaven that would stand for one hour,
as at present constituted, if the laws
of Christ were Implicitly obeyed. AH
defects In government are due to de
fects in tho men in the government.
The recent Dreyfus case in France is
an example of this and is a striking
Illustration of the methods of the dip
lomatic system of Europe, a system
which for four hundred years has had
men in every court of Europe hired to
tell secrets. The reason why American
diplomats for the past ono hundred
years have been such a remarkable
force Is because they have dared to tell
the truth.
MAN'S DUTY TO GOD.
Christ's political doctrine was man's
duty to God and man. If Ho hnd given
his word for tho perpetuation of the
Roman empire he would be discredited
now and He would have no Influence
over citizenship today. All we want in
this and every other country Is that
the word of God may prevail.
Thero might havo been many of us,
If wo had seen His body after death,
who might have said, what a weak,
helpless -man, us far as government
goes, he had been. We might have
said, and many undoubtedly did say at
that time, that He was no factor at all
in the questions of government, hut
this same Christ has already fired up
every government in tho world.
SPEAK WELL OF US.
Pleasant Notice Culled from a
Wilkes-Barre Exchange.
Nice, pleasant lot of neighbors wo
have In tho city down the creek. Hero
is what the Wilkes-Darre Times says
editorially about tho recent tlremen's
state convention In this city:
Thoso great big over-grown babies
calves would perhaps bo a better term
who ran tho Scranton firemen's con
vention havo taken back-water over tho
prize for tho finest engine in the parade.
When wo secured tho convention two
years ago Scrntonians refused to attend,
and ran an Independent parade of their
own, and now that their ambition has
been gratified they liuvo mado but a poor
showing. If only half of tho reports of
tho visiting firemen uro truo, never aguln
will Slocum Hollow bo tho tramping
ground of tho lire braves of Pennsyl
vania. They lack preparation and finish
In Scranton, nnd nre detlclcut In the cum
mnn courtesies. In numbers of instances
visiting delegntlons were not conducted
to their hostelrles.
These Scrantonlans went out of their
way to throw dirt on our flro laddies by
counting them out of tho prize for tho
largest number on parade. By actual
count Columbia had and Wllkes-Barre
101 men. In" tho matter of the finest en
gine their Intention to deprive our or
ganization of tho prlzo was most mani
fest and they havo now to eat dirt.
Scranton may bo big In Its own feted
Imagination, but it is unablo to rlso to
Its opportunities, simply becnuso of Us
Jaundiced wnjs, and Ignorance of gentle
manly Instincts.
Isn't that nn altogether sweet and
lovely thing to cull from tho editorial
columns of a newspaper printed In a
civilized community In this tulo end of
tho nineteenth century.
Such dignity, you will observe.
