Trial, ioforiC IDLENESS RUINOUS IN ITS CONSEQUENCES SO SAID REV. A. L. HAMER, YES TERDAY. Forceful Sermon Delivered in St. Mark's Lutheran Church Based on the Parable of the Vineynrd Found in the Gospel of St. Matthew. Every Soul Is Idle That Is Not Employed In the Master's Vine yardAn Exceeding Great Re ward for Those Who Are Faithful. Uev. A. L. Knmer. of St. -Mark's Lutheran church, preached a:i cluiuctit and forceful sermon at thu- mntnlng service yesterday on tlie theliie. "Clnd'H Call for Laborers tit I Us Vineyard." His text wiih found In Matthew xx.l-M, and ho simko, In part, as follows: Very often whin our Saviour desires to teach a divine truth In Its most effective manner. He presents It under tho simili tude of an onllnary experience of his hearers. The Oospel for this day brings befoto us the parable of thu vineyard with tint siigKcstlvo themt! of "Hod's Call for Laborers hi His Vineyard." An occasion for this parable may be found In tho Inquiry made by tho rich young man In the prec(dlm; chapter: "What go-id thing shall I do, that I may have eter nal life." The kingdom of Hod Is like unto it man that Is mi householder, which went out farly In the morning to hlro laborers Into his vineyard. The effort to secure laborers was repeated at different In tervals of the day. At evening the la linrets were called nnd each man re eelveil his hire Ot! account of the good ness of tint householder thoso who la bored but one hour received as much ns I hose who had borne the burden i.tnl hrat nf Hie day. The klngilt m of heaven Is tho central thought with which every thing In the parable Is associated. Ill order lo eon ey some Idea ol the spiritual slgnlllriince of the kingdom of heaven the Saviour employs the similitude of a ineyard and 1 1 esc ill us the lelatlons associated therewith as kindred to the relations prevailing in the kingdom "f heaven. In speaking of this Mngik.m. whether as the kingdom of heaven, or of Cod, or of Christ, tho Scriptural Idea designates an Institution of divine and supreme author ity before which all creatures must bow In submission. The fundamental Idea of this kingdom Is. that It Is ordered and maintained In accorilai.ee with principles of righteousness, truth, nnd holiness. I'lirlst places this kingdom frequently In sharp contrast wiih the kingdom of this world, where the contrary piluciplen maintain. The former Is Incorruptible and participation In It pioduees eternal peace, happiness mid Immortality; the latter l doomed to otinlhll'itlon and all who are found citizens In It will suffer eternal ruin. Tin: MuTivK Kon Tin: pakauli:. It is the Saviour's purpose to teach men the great concern which Cod liianl fests hi wlnnliit, souls for the kingdom of Ilea vi n. Cnder the illgnllieil personage of an householder of an oriental estate, Uod Is represented, personally, to call labor ers for Ills vineyard. Karly In the morn ing, whether we regard the period of lime with lefertnce to the race or to the lniliviilu.il, Cod calls men to salvation. Karly hi the dawn of the ages, when man by illsohcdli uce hail fallen under the wrath of Cod, the Almighty began to reveal His mercy and love to the fallen race. At sundry times antl In divers manners Cod spake In time past unto the fathers by the prophets. The parable particularly imphasizcs the frequent calls which Cod makes upon man to re pentance. He went out about the third hour, again he went out the sixth and tho ninth hour and about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing Idle. The burden of reproof on the part of Cod is: "Why stand ye hero nil the day Idle." Although these men were met In the world'n market-place, where the busy hum of active life was heard and where men were absorbed In tin busy transac tions of dally life, and .yet the Lord pre fers the charge of Idleness. In the ,ight u f Coil every soul Is itllo that Is not cm ployed In the Master's vineyard. It Is the universal verdict of Scripture that idleness Is wicked and ruinous In Its con. sequences. Co ye also into the vineyard. This Is a universal call to all subjects In the kingdom. The pertinent question rela tive to It Is, have yi u, beloved friends, accepted this call. It Is man's sovereign privilege either to accept or to refuse the heavenly call to salvation. In some form or other the call has reached you. You cannot excuse yourselves by saying "No man hath hired us." Your living in a Christian land, surrounded with Chris tian Inliiiences, are In themselves evi dences that ou are conscious of the dispel of salvation. Your own personal needs to participate In dlvlnu worship should thivo you as certain Creeks of old to make the Inquiry, "Wo would sce Jesus." TKHHIJiLi: niSIC ASSl'MICD. What a terrible, risk one assumes who needlessly neglects tho hearing of tho Oospel message of salvation or despises tho administration of the divinely ap pointed means ot grace, baptism and the Lord's supper. From the early dawn of our life thiough pious parents, jou were brought to thu Lord Jesus Christ in holy baptism; during the years of youth, you were caiefully instructed con e( rntng the kingdom of heaven, and your duty as members therein was clearly laid upon vnur heart. Kvery Lord's day these duties are presented anew, and the call repeated to the Impenitent, Trust ing that ou 1'iivo. madu a good confes sion before many witnesses, how do you now discharge tho service In the Mas. let's vineyard, His church. Are you faithfully and patiently beating the heat and burden of this, earthly warfare against sin nnd wickedness, or niu you lound murmuring against Cod for the providence lie sends upon you? The Christian church with the preach ing of the pure Oospel and tho right uso of the holy sacraments Is tho vineyard of tho Lord, Those not found employed hi her mission of saving souls and gloti I'ylng Cod are Idlers and loiterers for whom there will be no reward promised, The Lonl agreed with the laborers for a penny a day. Wo tlo not wish to em phasizu the mercenary Idea of tho quan titative value of tho reward offered. Tho great truth remains that salvation Is tho free gift of Ootl and liTT merit of any kind on tho part ol man may even make a rightful claim for It. While we wero yet tho enemies of Cod Christ died for us, .""lirlst took upon Him self our guilt so that by His death we might receive His lilghtee.usness by faith, We should love Him, bi-enuso Ho tlrst loved us. The gift bestowed upon those who are faithful laborers In God's king ilom nil earth is the same which Cod promised to the patriarch Abraham: "I will be thy exceeding great reward." If Cod has given us Ills Soil, will He not also freely give us all things, O that men would accept and bellnvu the good ness of Ood! and rely upon the pledge of Ills Word, "Whalreevcr Is right, that shall yo receive." FAITH IS THE VICTORY. Eloquent Sermon by Rev. Robert F. Y. Pierce Yesterday. A large congregation listened lo a powerful and cnthulastlo sermon which was delivered yesterday morn ing by tho Kpv. Hubert V. Y. Pierce at the Penn Avenue Baptist church. Tho theme of the morning was "Tho Victorious Life," taken from the text found In 1 .limn, fi.(: "For whatsoever Is horn of (joil oviTcnmuth the world, even our faith." He wild lit part; "These words bo often ejuotcd from Mrs. Morris' Letter to EVERY WIFE AND MOTHER. LETTER TO MRS. I-IKKHAM NO, I4,j6jj "1 have taken eight bottles of Lydla K. I'lnkhntn'ft Vegetable Compound with gratifying results. 1 had been married four years and had two chll dron. I was nil run down, had falling of womb with all its distressing symp toms.

I recommend your medicine to every wife and mother, llnd I tlrno, I could write much mora In Its praise. I bid you God's speed in your good work.'" Mns. L. A. Monnti, Wklaka, Putnam Co., Fla. " TlE.vn Mns. Pinkham When I com menced the use of your remedies I was very bad off. Kvery two weeks I was troubled with flowlngspells which made me very weak. I had two of tho best doctors, but they did not &ccru to help me. "They said my trouble was caused from weakness and was nothing to worry about. I felt tired all the time ; had no ambition. I was growing worse all the time until I began the use of Lydla B. rinkhara's Vegetable Compound. lost now able to help about the house, and am much Improved in health." Mat. A. Walker, Calucoox Depot, N. Y. the Marred desk constitute a wonderful text, used by a great army of young peoplo in Christian Kndeavor societies, Haptlst Young People's unions, Kp worth leagues and various other or ganizations of young people. "I saw this morning tinder n shaded and secluded step by tho parsonage n llttln rosebush. Its leaves were green, even In mid-winter, but never will It hear a blossom It Is growing, has life, but still it cannot hear (lowers, Why'.' Not one ray of sunshine ever touches It. All the light It gets Is rcllected light. I Just felt that I wanted to dig it up and carry It where It would liko to be. Think ot this sick rose bush nnd see if you can get my thought for you in this simple Illustration. "There arc many classes of Chris tians. Paul stands (lrst as the most vigorous of Christians. JIo was not always Paul, but once Saul of Tarsus. His ministry set forth many phases of the Christian life. Though a Jew, he was born under the Roman law and frequently came in touch with tho Roman soldiers. So It Is not surprising that he often referred to soldler-llfo for types of Christianity. With the soldier as an illustration wo ran draw ninny lessons. Thcie are five great classes of soldiers. FlrM Is the deserter. Some time ago as I searched the military records in tin state house at Trenton I saw nguin and again "deserted" placed after the names of men who had pledged them selves to the service of their country, but in some weak hour under tempta tion they had fallen. Did you ever know one who had promised to be true to the cause of Christ become a du sortur'.' "Another typo Is the soldier In the guard house. Some time rgo I visited Clilckanmtiga. I saw the saddest scene In camp life-. Tliero I saw men guard ed and manacled as prisoners. Did you ever know of a Christian who was In the guard house of doubt? "Another type Is the soldier In tho hospital, who, though not wounded on the Held of battle, has In some way been Jostled nnd wounded by slights and perhaps Is going about on crutches. Do you know of any Christian who is In the hospital? Our next type is the soldier on dress parade. A fow years ago at Fort Leavenworth T happened to see .dress parade. A liner lot of men I never saw and every one of them looked as if he felt proud of himself, but the proudest of all was the oillcer In his gay uniform and tinsel. Did you ever know of a Christian who was out on dress parade? ANOTHTHt TYPK, "There Is still another type. What kind Is it? Day befoie yeslerduy tho I'nlted States army and navy, with Hags at half-mast, swords draped nnd drums rolling tho funeral dirge, gave to General Lawton the last tribute nf a military funeral. In him we have a type of soldier in battle. Ho is the type of the Christian victorious, and we have them In tho church today. "There is n life of defeat, but tho text gives us the assurance of victory. It Is not a guess at victory, but an assurance froni Ood. Ood will tako us, discouraged though wo may he, and give us divine unction nnd promise us vie tort'. "What Is the secret of victory? Tho world calls It faith. Faith Is the pow er of linking the human soul to Ood. It Is more than faith 4 hat save:., for faith Is used up in believing. A new power Is given us. It Is tho endue ment of tho Holy Ghost: something deeper and holler than faith. Unbe lief Is an enemy of the church. Mr. Moody said that the fault was not with the world, but with us Christians. The last ten years of his life was spent more for Inspiring Christians than win ning souls "Now let us take our pi-aciloal ap plication. Christian friend. Ood has something more for you and mo than wo have ever had. It Is Himself, that which inspires faith, and the promise is unto you and your children and there Is not one of you who cannot have this as a distinct gift Just ns freely as you had your salvation. This morn ing you can have the gift nf the Holy Spirit by faith, Just ns by faith yoti received your salvation. FOR THE PATERSON WRECK. Three of the Railroad Men Ar raigned nnd Held to Ball.

BRIEF MENTION OF MEN OF THE HOUR OPINIONS OF CITY SOLICITOR A. A. VOSBURG. They Have Attracted a Good Deal of Attention Recently Martin Woyshner Cannot Tell How Many Languages He Can Converse in. W. S. Mears Is Home from Joplin, Mo. E. S. Strong Has Returned from Cuba Where He Went with American Colonists. .Since A. A. Vosburg became tollcllor for the city he has shown rare clever ness In tho way ho has given opinions on tho various questions submitted to him. It used to be said of former City Solicitor Hums that he could write an equally strong opinion on any side of almost any question and the present In cumbent has something of tho same ability. Since his Induction Into oflleo he has been called upon to render opin ions In several important questions mote especially on the mayor's right to remove patrolmen and on tho water rates ordinance. These lqiivn been carefully perused and widely comment ed upon far beyond the confines of the city. Mr. Vosburg has n wide and exten sive private practice, but It can be said that bo docs not neglect his city work for It. for he Is nt his olllco In the municipal building at stated hours every day, no matter what transpires. Personally he is excvcdlngly genial nnd courteous nnd has a growing repu tation as nn after-dinner speaker. He probably has as groat n fund nf apt and timely anecdotes nt his command as any one individual throughout the length and breadth of the city. Ho has also been prominent In the polltlcul field and Is now chairman ot the Republican county committee. C-k-p-a-h-m-ni-o-h- nnd another let ter that In script looks like n lower case "r" Is the way to spell Scranton in Great Russian, one of the no-one-knows-how-many languages spoken by Martin Woyshner, Lackawanna's chief court interpreter. Martin, himself, couldn't tell a Tribune reporter, the other day, just how many tongues ho Is master of. Some nt the dialect which ho speaks arc practically Indiv idual languages ho declares and some others vary from the root tongue so little that It Is hardly proper to call them a dialect. He never took the lime to go Into a classlllcntlon and would not want to Fay off-hand just how many different ways he can cxpres-s his thoughts, be ing a very conservative sort of a man and possessed of an abiding fear of bringing down upon himself ndverse criticism. In fact It was with difficulty that the reporter could Induce him to discuss, nt all, the subjects of himself and his linguistic abilities. "Some of the languages I learned In school, others I picked up in travel and several of the dialects which I only had a tneagre knowledge of 1 perfected myself In after coming to this country and engaging In the store business." Put him down In any place in all of Continental Kurope and ho would ho able to worry along In a conversation with any native ho chanced to meet, though, his knowledge ot Spanish and Italian, ho savs. Is very meagre, being "a little Italian and less Spanish" to make a paraphrase. He knows Latin well and has studied Creek till he can translate It quite readily; speaks Ger man fluently, nnd French fairly well: and In the Polish, Lithuanian. Slavonic and "great" and "small" Russian he Is eloquent not only of the mother tongues hut nil their various dialects. Only once since ho became court in terpreter did he fall to respond when called upon to turn one of these dia lects Into Kngllsh. This was In the Hezek murder trial. The defendant nnd a number o'f the witnesses were from Croatia, a little, pilnclpality, next to Bosnia to the south of Austria. Mr. Woyshner was fairly familiar with the "speech of the people" of Crnatn, but as it was a murder trial and tho slight est mistake might work serious conse quences, he advised tin court that some ono from that country who could also speak ICnglish bo engaged to do the Interpreting and this was done. He has since Interpreted this dialect In less Important cases. W. S. Mears, superintendent of the zinc mines located nt Joplin. Mo., in which several Scranton capitalists aro Interested, is at present spending a few days In this vicinity. Ho speaks enthusiastically of the prospects in Missouri, and will locate In Joplin per manently. It Is a town of about 23,000 inhabitants and has built up wonder fully In a short time. Mr. Mears left here last fall and spent several months in acquainting himself with the woik Ings of the zinc mines. Previous to that time he was engaged In contracting work here. In company with James Flynn, and the firm com pleted several large paving contracts for the city. Mr, Mears will return on Thursday, Mr. Mears Is convinced that Joplin has a great future In store for It. It Is almost In tho centre ot tho zlno mining district, which Is being devel. oped with great rapidity, the attention of capitalists having been turned dur ing the lasjt few years to tho financial returns that zinc mines give promise ot yielding. K. M. Strong, tho well-known auc tioneer, who with a number of other men from these parts, went to La Gloria, Cuba, Is back in this city, and like every ono clso who has been there, declares the new Kl Dorado to be a La Glorious fake. Kverythlng. except ing the climate, he says, was misrep resented by the New York Investment company which engineered the coloni zation of the place with the money ad vanced by Mr. Strong and others who happened to fall before the influence of the conipnny's glib agents. Mr. Strong says that a Dunniore man, who could 111 afford It, lost JSOO In this Investment. S. W.
