THE INHERITANCE
OF THE SAINTS
THEME OF SERMON OF BEV. ED
WARD J. HAUGHTON.
Told of tho Olorions Inheritance
Promised Man by Christ nnd tho
Noblo Impulsos and Zoal This
Should Awakon In Him That Ho
May Be Worthy to Receivo It.
Need of Saving Graco of Christ
Dwelt Upon Sermon of Rov. O,
R. Boardsloy on "Tomplo of God."
Rev. Edward J. Haughton, of Dun
more, senior curate of St. Luke's par
ish, delivered n practical sermon last
.evening before the latter congregation.
He took as his text St. Paul to tho
Colosslans, chapter 1, verso 12: "Giv
ing thanks unto tho Father, which
huth made us meet to bo partakers of
tho Inheritance of tho salnta in light,
and spoke In part as follows:
"In this modern age of ours It Is
always a natural question on tho part
of most men to ask: 'What Is there
In this for me?' This Is natural be
cause the life of most all of us Is a
succession of trade or barter. There
Is something for all of us in this glor
ious Inheritance which God has pre
pared for us. There Is In the con
templation of this heavenly reward,
something which should give hope and
quicken the zeal of us all for that
great nnd final goal.
"This promise of a glorious Inheri
tance for the godly claims or should
claim nnd appeal to evt'ry side of a
man's nature, and does not draw tho
attention to the close study of a par
ticular creed or doctrine.
INHERITANCE OF SAINTS.
"What Is tho Inheritance of the
saints? When tho majority of per
sons hear It mentioned they think o.f It
only ns a pious sentiment, something
hazy, dim and unreal. If we believe
In the real conditions of our own
father's life we may believe In tho
resurrection of Uur Blessed Lord nnd
this promise of heavenly Inherit
ance, because He was a real living
Jesus. He had a human body and n
human soul, with, of course, many
wonderful faculties added.
"Ho became by his resurrection the
perfectly fit Instrument of our salva
tion and He now sits at the right
hand of the Father and pledges that
we too shall also attain this glorious
end If we are only faithful. lias He
not said: 'It I live so shall you live,'
and 'Where I nm there you may be
also? "We shall see Hint as He Is.
Is not this enough to stir tho Imagin
ation; to rouse us to make the most
strenuous efforts not only for our own
salvation, but for the salvation of all?
"We must either bring ourselves and
others up or ourselves and others
down. Christ Is only too ready and
anxious to receive us, but we must bo
fitted for our entrance Into tho other
life. We cannot dense ourselves suf
ficiently for this by our own unaided
strength, wo must have the assistance
of God himself.
"The repeated application of the sav
ing blood of Christ to our hearts re
fits ns again and again and draws us
nearer day by day to Him. All virtues
may be cultivated with the help of the
grace of Christ.
"If wo do live to take part in this
glorious Inheritance It will be not by
our own merits, but by the merits of
Jesus Christ. Let us, therefore, offer
God a life Inspired by grace; let all
our earnest efforts bo directed toward
straining ever onwards and upward,
that wo may say with St. Bernard as
he paced his gloomy cell In the mon
astery at Cluny:
For thoe, O, dear, dear country, mine
eyes their vigils keep;
For very love beholding thy holy name,
they weep.
'Tls unction to my breast,
And medicine In sickness, and Joy nnd
life and rest.
THE TEMPLE OF GOD.
Rev. O. R. Beardsloy Spoko on This
Theme Last Evening.
Rev. O. U. Beardsloy, pastor of All
Souls Unlversallst church, chose for
him theme last night n text from
Habakuk, "Tho Temple of the Lord."
Ho spoke of the fact that many peo
ple wonder where the temple of the
Lord really Is, whether It Is some
stately edifice or beautiful building.
"No, It is no fixed place, but Is rather
everywhere in the hearts and souls
of all good men and women,
"When we leave God out of our
thoughts, then we are Idolators," said
the speaker. Ho furthermore remark
ed that to tho cynic's query ns to
Where Is the temple of God? no better
answer could be made than to reply
with the interrogation "Where Is not
tho temple of th" Lord?"
The speaker said that God rules the
whole world nnd we should be thank
ful to Him that with wise governing
spirit ho is present with his chastising
rod when wo are disobedient. All cre
ations are visible evidence of tho All
Wise Power that made them, and, as
such, may be reckoned temples of the
Lord. If you take away tho belief
of a man In his God, you take away
his great Incentive to strong endeav
ors nnd powerful deeds.
"When we feel the touches of re
morse for past misdemeanors and
wrong doings," said he, "we should
not chafe and groan nt tho pangs of
conscience, but should rather' pray
God to press the cup of repentance clos
er to our lips, that mo might take
deeper draughts. In the same way
when the cup of pure Joy Is presented,
wo should quaff It with pure feelings
of delight."
The speaker concluded his address
with an exhortation to his hearers to
remember that God Is always present,
that His temple Is everywhere, and
thnt He Is truly omnipotent.
Next Sunday Rov. Mr. Beardsley will
deliver nn nddress on "Mormonlsrn;
Its Place." He has mnde a deep study
of tho subject and will undoubtedly
give a powerful discourse upon It.

AGAINST GAMBLING.
Initial Step in Crusado Taken at a
Mooting Held in tho Lyceum
Theatre Yesterday.
The Initial step In what promises to
bo :i vigorous crusade against gam
bling1 in this city, providing the public
interests itself in the matter, was tak
en yesterday afternoon when John
Philip Qulnn, tho reformed ox-gambler,
addressed a large gathering of men
In the Lyceum on the evils and alarm
ing prevalence of gambling. Tho meet
ing was conducted unOer the auspices;
of a number of the clergymen of tho
city, who are greatly Interested in the
work being done by Mr. Qulnn.
In opening his remaiks tho latter
spoke of the large number of gambling
houses which are known to exist In
this city at the present time and tho
urgent necessity of ridding the town
of them at once.
He then proceeded to exhibit a few'
of the many devices used by gamblers
to trick the unwary sucker as the In
nocent Individual who runs willingly
up against a professional game la
called by those of tho profession. Ho
worked the game of rouge-et-noir, In
which those who piny bet on tho color
of every third card drawn from a
Jack, and successfully drew a different
colored one from that called by tho33
In tho audience a number of times.
Ho also gave an exhibition of his
skill at dice throwing, making five aces
at every throw, while his opponent so
leeted from the audler.ee made only a
very small throw each tlmo with the
same dice.
Mr. Qulnn said that there are many
In this city Just ns clever at this game
as himself, having seen them throw In
his place on Penn avenue, nnd he cau
tioned those In the audience that this
was only another rensnn why they
should resist tho nllurlni temptations
of the gambling house.
When Mr. Qt'Inn had finished speak
ing. Rev. Robert F Y, Pierce and Rev.
r.obert Wilson, both of whom are es
pecially Interested In the erusnde.spok-s
on the bpst vays, and means of con
ducting the proposed crusade. Mr.
Pierce thought thnt the best plan
would bo to hire a hall such ns MiihIi
Hall for one week nnd to hnve Mr.
Qulnn give a free lecture nnd expose
of the gambler's art overv evening.
Severnl others thought Ihls suggestion
a very good one and It was proposed
to have those In tho audience who do.
sired lo contribute to manifest their
Intention of doing so.
A collection was taken up to defray
yesterday's e.vpensb, and the matter
of contributing to tho fund for tho
week's series of mPotlnjrR was left to
the generosity of the public nt large.
Secretary Mnhv of the Voting Men's
Chrlstlon association, slated after tlu
meeting that a very Influential and
prominent citizen who was present had
manifested his Intention of personally
Interesting himself In the matter of
raising sufficient money for the pur
pose of defraying the expanses of th
meetings. Mr. Mnhy seemed to be very
sanguine over the outlook for securing
tho necessary nmount of 'money.
CROSSING LAID
AT POPLAR STREET
CITY TOOK A DECISIVE STEP IN
THE MATTER.
Tired of Waiting for tho Logal
Snnrla to Bo Straightened Out
Mayor Moiron Saturday Ordorod
tho Stroot Commissioner to Tear
Down tho Fence nnd Lay a Cross
ingThis Was Dono Point Is
Now Guarded for tho City by Po
llco Officers.
Tired of waiting for tho lawyers nnd
their case-stated to get Poplar street
opened up, Mayor Molr on Saturday
took the matter In his own hands, and
substituting an nxo for the lawsuit,
very effectively settled the question to
the city's full satisfaction.
The Bolt and Nut works opens up to
morrow, and this disputed crossing Is
tho only means of egress and ingress
to tho plnnt for wagons. President
Zehnder waited on tho mayor and laid
before him the necessity of having tho
crossing opened at onco, Mayor Molr
told him he would look Into tho matter
and see what could bo done. Mr, Zehn
der nnd the mayor had another con
ference In tho afternoon nnd when Mr.
Zohnder left ho carried with him the
assurance that tho crossing would be
opened.
About 3.30 o'clock, Street Commis
sioner Thomas and a gang of men ap
peared at tho crossing and In short
order cut down tho fence which the
company had erected, and relnld the
plank crossing which the company tore
up last month on tho day after the city
caused It to bo laid.
SHOW OF FORCE MADE.
While the street commissioner's men
were at work, Detective Martin Crlp
pen, of tho Delaware and Hudson com
pany, came upon the scene nnd pro
ceeded to make n show of forceful re
sistance In anticipation of a case In
court. Some section-hands werebrought
down from Green Ridge on an engine
and directed to remove the planks the
city employes wero laying. Street Com
missioner Thomashad summoned police
officers when ho saw Detective Crlppen
going for tho section-hands, and when
the latter attempted to Interfere ho
called upon the police to drive them
off.
Patrolmen Qulnnnn and Davis and
Mounted Officer Block stepped forward
and ordered tho section-hands to take
themselves off. This was sufficient foq
the purpose In view and the section
hands were called off and sent away.
The work of opening the crossing was
then completed, and Patrolman Davis
was left to guard It. Ho was relieved
In the morning by Mounted Officer
Burke, and went on again at noon. The
company made no attempt to repeat Its
performance of last month.
COMPANY'S POSITION.
The Delaware and Hudson company
Is willing to have the city extend a
street across the tracks, but Is unwill
ing to bo put to the expense of main
taining a gate and watchman there, ns
It eventually will be called upon to do
If the street Is opened up as a public
thoroughfare. Tho city claims the right
to tho crossing under the old Lacka,
wanna Iron and Coal company's maps,
which show (Poplar street on both sides
of the track. The company avers that
It owns the land In foe simple.
The attorneys of the railroad com
pany, the Bolt and Nut works, the
Lackawanna Iron nnd Coal company
and the city had a conference last week
with a view of submitting the matter
to court In the form of a case-stated.
They were to meet again In the course
of a few days to draw up the papers,
but tho meeting has not yet taken
place.
TROLLEY COMPANY WINS.
Verdict Against Dr. J. S. Porteus in
His Suit for Damages City
Wins Ninth Street Suits.
A verdict for the defendant was re
turned Saturday morning In the case
of Dr. J. S. iPorteus against the Scran
ton Railway company, which was on
trial before Judge Savldge In court
room No. 2 all of last week.
The doctor sued for $25,000 damages
for Injuries sustained by being run
down by a trolley car while driving
across a narrow bridge over Spring
Brook In Mooslc. Tho plaintiff alleged
that he was compelled to drive on the
track because of the narrowness of the
bridge and tho road approaching It;
that tho car was running at an excess
ive speed; that no warning wns given,
and Incidentally that the motorman
was a new and Inexperienced hand.
The accident, ho avers, has left him
permanently disabled with locomotor
ataxia.
The defense contended that Dr. Pori
teus turned suddenly onto the track,
directly In front of the car, and also
vigorously attacked his claim that he
was suffering from locomotor ataxia.
The feature of the case was the effort
of the defense to prove that locomotor
ataxia does not result from violence.
Some of tho city's most prominent
physicians wero summoned by each
side to give expert testimony. The
majority of them were of the opinion
that Dr. Porteus had failed to prop
erly diagnose his own case.
This is one of the few instances where
a Jury In this county has been brought
to return a verdict for the traction
company when It was defendant In a
personal damage case. Major Everett
Warren and Hon, C. P. O'Mnlley, of
Wlllard, Warren & Knapp, conducted
the defense. George M. Watson, R. A.
Zimmerman and Hon. John P. Kelly
represented tho plaintiff.
A verdict In favor of the city was re
turned In tho Ninth street damage
cases, .In which Patrick Sullivan, Mar
garet and Catherine O'Connor wero the
plaintiffs. City Solicitor Vosburg rep
resented the defense. The plaintiffs'
attorneys were C. Comegys and I ' II.
Burns.
In tho case of Mary Rellly and others
against the Borough of Punmore.a ver
dict for the plaintiffs In tho sum of
$250 was awarded. Tho suit was based
on a claim for damages done the plain
tiffs' property on, Willow street by
water diverted from Its natural course
and upon the plaintiffs' land by grad
ing operations conducted by the bor
ough. Hon. M. E. McDonald and John
R. Edwards represented the plaintiffs.
Borough Solicitor John G. McAskle and
A. A. Voslmrg, city solicitor of Scran
ton, wore counsel for the defense.
