Rev. J. 1'. Moftut, pastor of the
Washburn stieet Presbyterlm chinch,
Inst evenliiB preached the first scitnon
in tho series on Paradise. He took ills
text from the second chaiiter In the
Book of Genesis, the seventh nnd ninth
verses. The subject was "Paradise
Given" and referred to the creation
of man. dating back to the beginning
of the world's history The speaker re
ferred to Adam's creation and the evo
lution of man. dweillncr particulate
on the fact that tlio phvslinl body
cnrie of dim and to dust It must re
turn. He also contrasted man's cre
ation and the animal creation and plc
ttnecl the M'ititual nature, the body
being only a casket, n.s It were, con
taining precious Jewels.
Hov. Moflat also referred to the comi
pound nature of the physical and splr
itunl life, and spoke of how God pat
teined man aftei Ills own Imago, and
the moral power and feeling attending
it. He lefeircd to tho tree of life and
the tree or knowledge, nnd said in t in
former there Is a peinwneat line set
separating the obedient from the dis
obedient, nnd In the latter the con
sciousness of Rood nnd tvell. We aie

will amount to naught In the world
the teachings of God's wold, our lives
will amount o naught In the world
to come. Tho speaker took occasion to
nsk what benefits Scranton received
from the firemen's convention, and
durlns the course of his romatks said-
"There are tit emeu and firemen, and

The people of this pait of the city
earnestly hope that councils will do

made work on the sower expensive and
difficult, and It Is of first Importance
to have the work hurried along now a-
rapidly as possible that the people of
thN part of the city may next spring
be saved the damage and annoyance
that has for years followed the break

means of carrying away the suiface

DENVER CLASS OF CRUISERS.

Washington, Oct. S The navy de

model tank at the Washington nim

now engaged In competition for the
conltacts for the six ni w cmlseis
known as the Denver class, authorized
bv the last congiess. The design adopt
ed for these vese.sls, which has met se
veie ciltlclbin on all sides, both for Its
lack of speed and absence of protection
fine and aft, lepiesentlng the piactlce
of the flfteen-yeai-old Atlanta class
rather than modem piogress. has not
been favorably received by shlubulld
ers. who cannot see how such laige
vessels can bo obtained within the
amount of money available, congress
Imv lng set aside $1,141,800 for each ves
sel, and stipulated that they should
be "of about twentv-flve hundred tons
displacement."
The price of material lias not oniy in
creased, but the boaid of bureau chiefs
increased this displacement by 1,000
tons, thereby cutting down the maigln
of profit to builders and 1 educing their
speed to a very ordinary tato for thuso
class of fast ships. The soeed was
fixed at lfi'fe knots, with the ptovlslon
that If It fell helow 16i- knots and ex
ceeded IB'i knots the ve.vsel would be
acceptod at a reduction of .VS.000 11
