WAS DEDICATED
SEVENYEARS AGO
CELEBRATION IN GREEN RIDQE
BAPTIST CHURCH.
In the Morning the Pnstor, Rev. W.
J, Ford, Preached a Special Sermon
In Which He Referred to the Ef
forts Mado to Establish a Baptist
Church in Green Ridge and the
Progtess It Has Made Since It Was
Pounded Hopes for the Future
Were Outlined hy Pastor.
The congregation of the Green Itldgo
Baptist church yesterday celebrated
the seventh anniversary of tho dedi
cation of that church.
In tho morning tho pastor, Rev. W.
J. Ford, preached a special sermon and
spoke as follows;
I have not often wcailed your patlcnco
with anniversary sermons, For tlio usual
self laudatory pancgric, which enumer
ate tho pastoral calls made and labors
performed 1 have no use. If the work
has been consclentlosly done It will speak
for Itself In tho life of tlio church, but if
It has not been honestly done for tho sola
purpose of advancing Christ's kingdom,
to parado before tho world our multiplied
labors and varied activities Is offering
strange tile In God's altars and 19 un
worthy of a minister of Christ. Another
objection which I have to the ordinary
anniversary sermon Is that it must of
necessity thaw comparisons between tho
present and previous pastorates. There
Is no danger this morning of our Institut
ing Invidious comparisons ns this church
bus never known any other pastor and
tho pastor has novcr served another
church.
For several years wo have been making
history. Makers of history arc usually
too busy to record their deeds. And when
tho historian would preserve tho memory
of the past It is often necessary to
search through scanty and conlllctlug re
cords depending largely for his Informa
tion upon uncertain tradition. This ser
vice, tho seventh anniversary of the dedi
cation of our first house of worship, and
probably ono ot tho last services that ve
shall hold before this building Hives way
to tho new one, I wish to review our early
history while tho events are still fresh
In tho minds of tho principal actors.
THE INITLAX, EFFORT.
About fifteen years ago, while the en
ergetic Dr. David Spencer was pastor of
tho Penn Avenue church nn effort was.
made to open a Baptist mission In Green
Ridge. Association hall was secured but
after a few services had been held fur
ther use of tho hall was refused and tho
only public building in the section, tho
attempt was abandoned for lack of suit
able place of meeting.
In tho summer of 1S90, a few choice
spirits felt that the time had como for
aggressivo work. Cottcgo prayer meet
ings wore held, usually by Thomas Johns.
This movement was radically different
from tho earlier one. In the first Instance
wise teachers had said "Green Ridge Is a
strategic point. Baptists must occupy It
for the sake of their interest In this city."
In second Instance men and women of
faith who made no pretention to fore
sight or leadership said. "For our own
pake, for tho 'sake of our children, for
tho sake of those who are not being
touched bq any existing religious organ
ization wo ought to have a Baptist Sun
day school In Green Ridge."
Tho Finn chapel on Penn avenue was
secured and on November SO, 1S0O, a Suu
day school was organized. Tlio officers
chosen wero: Superintendent, J. K.
Brady: assistant, W. K. Clark; sccretaty,
C. E. Wetmoro; treasurer, C. A. Nlchol-,
son. Twenty-six scholars wero present.
At tho end of tho first year tho secre
tary's books showed nn enrolment of 160
and collections for tho year amounting
to $111.87, an average of $2.15 per Sunday,
Soon the Finn chapel was too small for
tho growing school and the room In tho
Nettleton block, now occupied by Man
ner's drug stoic, was selected. I need
not trace tho steps by which the school
has risen to Its present position of influ
ence. If you would know tho secret, Its
officers have been cfllclent. Its teachers
have been faithful. Tho school Is proud
of tho fact that from the day of Its or
ganization It has been self-supporting,
raising and expending more than $1,6U0.
EACH NEED RECOGNIZED.
No department of tho church was or
ganized until the need was recognized.
First the prayer meeting, then tho Sun
day school, then the church, then tho
various auxiliary societies of tho church.
In tho summer of 1SW J. C. Brookins,
then a student at Hamilton, N. Y whs
invited to spend his vacation In tho field.
As a result of his tactful and energetic
labors a church was orgunized on Sep
tember 23, 1S92, with seventy-seven mem
bers. It Is our prowl boast today that
this church has never been a mission of
any other church. It has never known
the fostering caro of an outside organi
sation. It has received no aid but from
the first has met Its own expenses and
purchased Its own property. It has been
fortunate in having as Its board of trim,
tees men of business ability who bollevo
that common sense Is needed In tho man
agement of a church as much as In tho
conduct of their own business nffalrs.
Tho personnel ot tho board has with ono
exception remained unchanged. At pres
out J. K. Brady, J. W. Garncv, J. W.
Howarth, E. F. Cluimberlln and F. M.
Loomls constitute tho board of trustees.
Of the six deacons chosen at tho organ
ization. Samuel Price, Thomas Johns.
S V. Hall. J. P. Jones, H. T. Mallory rind
S. W. Lewis, only Brother Johns re
mains In the service of tho church. There
have slnco been associated with him A. K.
Callender. H. H. Langham. William Sin
dor, fi. T. I'rltchard and Charles Scamli
ler. This church Is also fortunate In Hav
ing as deacons men for whoso conduct It
Is never called irpon to apologize, men
who command the respect of tho church
and the community. The deacons consti
tute the pastor's cabinet and 1 Jiavo
learned to lean heavily on these men.
My own connection with this church be
gan ono month after Us organization.
When a student in my senior year 1 sup
plied tho pulpit. Some months after joti
honored mo with a call to become your
pastor. Wo wero not stronger to each
other. You had ecmo to know my limita
tion:', I understood fulrly viell the con
ditions of tho Held. I hesitated. Your
membership was small, you owned no
property, you were liable at tho end of
any month to bo turned out ot tho room
you wero then occupying. Other denomi
nations wero firmly established. Two
churches were erecting costly edifices, un
other was beautifying a splendid prop
erty ucently acquired, Their pulpits
wero filled by men of reputation and ex
perlencc. I had neither. I did not bo
llovo that I possessed the qualifications
necessary to lead you to success. But
I never believed in sotting up my Judg
ment against a liholo church. Those ot
you who wero Identified with tho work in
those early days can eeo now as you
perhaps, could not see then that you made
some largo drafts upon the bank of faith
and God always honored your drafts.
WHAT INFLUENCED HIM.
Two things Influenced iny decision. Tho
first was your fulth. Other churchch
thut I supplied at that time with u view
to a possible settlement talked about
what the-y had done, you minds wero
fltcd with what you proposed to do.
, Their faces wero turned toward tho past,
yours wero fixed toward iho future. And
because.- you believed lit yourselves, lie
llevcd In your future, believed In Clod, I
wanted to bo associated with you. An
other thing which Influenced my decision
was tho kindly spirit that tho other
churches manifested toward you. A new
comer Is usually regarded as an Intruder,
but they generously and kindly welcomed
us to the sisterhood of churches and
never once from either putor or people
have wo received anything but tho kind
est of treatment.
On Easter Sunday, April 2, 1M3, wo dedl
rated our prerent building to the worship
of God. For seven years It has been our
church homo and wo have loved It, but
during tho corning summer va hopo to
see It give place to a. new building
which shall bo adequate to our growing
needs. I havo been permitted to wel
como Into tho fellowship ot this church,
by baptism, 123, by letter 133, by experi
ence, 33, making u tntnl received of 1K.
We havo Inst by letter ,S, by erasure and

thero wero added to this tho money raised
by ;tho various auxiliary societies It

No historical sketch would be complete

oration with the Sunday tchool purchased
tlio organ thut wo arc now using. There
Is now In tho treasury u considerable
sum for tho furnishing of ihe new church.
Tlmo would fall me to speak of Ihe Mis.
slonary soclotles.WIIHng workers, Mission
band, Boys' brigade, Senior and Junior
societies that have been organized and
performed faithfully the work of such
organization. Our deatli roll has not
been a long otic. Although I havo been
called upon to ofllclato at more than ono
hundred funerals only thlrttoen havo been
members or the church. This number
has Included some ot our best workers,
some who wo havo loved, some wlvi
seemed essential to tho very llfo of tho
church.
Tho record of the seven ve.irs Is el ised.
In spite ot the successes of the past there
is ine msturmng recollection of oppor
tunities neglected mid duty unperformed.
Tho past has gone beyond our reach, tho
present Is in ocr hands. Whut the futuro
shall bo rests with us.
THE WORD GOSPEL.
Rev. James Hughes Told the Mean
ing of It in the Second Piesby
terlan Church Last Night.
Rev. James Hughes, who Is In charge
of the Adams avenue chapel of the
Second Presbyterian church, spoke In
the latter temple ot worship last night,
having exchanged pulpits with the pas
tor, Rcl. Charles E. Robinson, D. D.
Rev. Hughes took as his text Murk,
1:1-8, "The beginning of the gospel o
Jesus Christ, tho Son of God." and
"I Indeed havo bantlzed vou with
water: but he shall baptize you with
tho Holy Spirit." Among other things,
ho said: ,
What Is the meaning of the word Gos
pel? It means good news. It is both good
and new. It Is the newest thing In tho
world. In these modern times of ours
there Is a deal of novel reading done by
all clases of people, both young and old.
But tho best of these novels become in u
few years old, dry. uninteresting and sap
less. Tho gospel, however, never grov
old. It Is ono of the oldest of all books
and is yet tho newest. Thero Is a peren
nial newness about It that makes Its
study delightful and lustrurtho to even
tho greatest minds.
When wo speak ot the Gospel wo mean
tho New Testament. This Is divided into
four Gospels each of which, however, Is
tho Gospel and contains in ltslf enough
of tho truo word to save any many.
Those four Gospels each possess different
characteristics.
. Taking the Gospel ot Matthew we havo
tho Gospel of the King. In this Gospel
J&us Is presented as the king ot men
and angels, tho glorious monarch of the
world. This might bo termed the royal
gospel. Taking m xt the Gospel of LuUo
wo havo the Gospel of Jesus tho man,
Jesus the human, Jesus tho universal. In
one of tho chapters of this Gospel Christ
Is referred to ns the Son of man, man
meaning, of course, in this Instance, tho
human family.
Taking next tho Gospel of St. John wo
find Its loading characteristic or keynote
to bo the eternal Soushlp of Christ. In
the beginning was the word and tho word
was God. wo read. Tho fourth and last
Gcspel, that of Mark, might be called
tho Gospel of Jesus tho servant. In this
Gospel we aro told that Jesus worked In
tho carpenter shop of Ills foster father
Joseph, thus stamping tho mark of dig
nity for all tlmo upon labor. Tn this
Gospel wo aro shown clearly that Jesus
camo not to bo ministered initp to to
minister unto us, instead.
If wc weave together the different and
varying characteristics of these four Cos.
pels and place It In our heart and before
our Intellect we have a splendor, rich
ness and a glory existing In no other
work.
THE BOOK OF THE CENTURY.
Dr. McLeod Gives Interesting Sta
tistics of the Bible's Distribution.
At the First Presbyterian church yes
terday morning Row Dr. James .Mc
Leod preached upon "The Book of the
Century." One hundred and twenty
years ago Voltaire had said that In tOO
years the Bible would be a forgotten
book. In 1S04 the British unci Foreign
Bible society was organized; In 181S,
tho American Blblo society; today 73
Biblo societies exist and they havo,
within the century, distributed 280,000,
fl.OO copies of thu Scriptures in w'hole or
part, which doos not Include tho millions
of coplesof Oxfordsand special editions
sold In the regular channels of trado.
In Christian England In tho thirteenth
century a working man's average wage
was 4 cents a day and the cheapest
Biblo cost $l.r.O, ?o that ho might toll for
a lifetime and not save enough to buy
a copy of tho Word.' Today well
printed Bibles sell for 15 cents apiece,
and tho most ordinary worltlngman can
from a day's savings afford ono copy
for himself and ono for a friend.
Incidentally Dr. McLeod paid his re
spects to those critics of predestina
tion who misinterpret the Westminster
confession. All that that doctdne
means, ho said, Is that the omniscient
God knows In advance tho number of
mortals who shall bo saved. To deny
this is to dispute God's omniscience.

HUSBAND AND WIFE
IN AWFUL TRAGEDY
A RECONCILIATION THAT WAS
SHORT LIVED.
James J. O'Boyle Dead nnd His Wife
in a Precarious Condition ns a Re
sult of an Early Morning Shoot
ing Affray on Franklin Avenue.
She Says Ho Tried to Murder Her
and Then Commit Suicide Had
Been Estranged for Several Months
O'Boyle Buried Yesterday.
Between 4 and G o'clock Saturday
morning live shots wero ilred from a
32-cnllbro revolver In tho apartments
of Mr. and Mrs. James O'Uoylo, 22S
Franklin avenue, and as n consequence
O'Boyle lies cold in death, while his
wife is In u precarious condition nt
the Lackawanna hospital with a shat
tered Jaw bono and n bullet hole
through her body.
Every ordinary Indication points to
on attempted murder and suicide but
the relatives of tho husband strenu
ously allege that It wan a murder and
attempted suicide, while a small but
rather mysterious circumstance points
to tho faint possibility of the impli
cation of a third party.
The O'Boyles had becomes estranged,
but effected a reconciliation last
Thursday. That same evening a mun
answering the husband's description
and appearing somewhat excited pur
chased a 32-callbrc revolver In Doyle
& Company's hardware stoic, on North
Main avenue. Ho tilled the five cham
bers while In tho store, placed the re
volver in his pocket and told the clerk
ho wanted to shoot a dog.
Some time after 4 o'clock Saturday
morning the family of John Cogglns.
whose apartments adjoin those of the
O'Boyles, were awakened by two pis
tol shots, followed by a woman's
screams. A moment later Mrf. O'Boyle
rushed out Into the corridor and, see
ing Cogglns, exclaimed: "Jim shot me.
Get a doctor." Her face and night
dress were bespattered with blood.
THREE MORE SHOVS.
Before Cogglns could make a move
thw more shots in rapid succession
wero heard, and, realizing trat It was
all over with O'Boyle, he ran out into
the street to secure assistance. Sev
eral physicians' offices wero visited,
..ut none of them could be aroused, so
he run to the Center street police sta
tion and notified Desk Sergeant Jones.
Tho Lackawanna hospital was notified
and an ambulaiie'e hastened to the
scene.
When the police and physicians ar
rived they found O'Boyle lying across
the sill of the door between the bed
room and kitchen with blood pouring
out of three bullet holes In his head.
A new 32-callbro, live-chamber revol
ver was firmly grasped In his right
hand. Patrolman Parry had to use
fonio force to release It from the dying
man's grip. O'Boyle ejsplred shortly
after reaching tho hospital.
The remains wero taken to his sis
ter's home at 101 Plttstou avenue. His
relatives would not believe that he
had shot hiinsedf and Inllstcd that the
wife had carried out a threat she had
repeatedly made to take his life. The
fact that ono of the shots was llred
from the rear, the relatives argue,
show that it was not done by his own
band.
. The odd circumstance in connection
with the case is that while the Cog
glns family and Mrs. O'Uoylo herself
positively state that theie was no erne
In tho O'Boyle apartments Thursday
night excepting tho two O'Boyles
themselves, the table at which, ac
cording to Mrs'. O'Boyle, she and her
husband ate a lunch just before retir
ing, was set for three. One coffee rup
had been emptied, u second half emp
tied and a third evidently only sipped
from. Three chairs surrounded the
table.
NO STRUGGLE.
There were no Indications of a strug
gle, although the hen room was
splashed all over with blood, a stream
of It even having reached an ornamen
tal Japanese umbrella suspended from
the center of the roiling.
Mrs. O'Boyle says her husband first
shot her In tho face while she was
asleep and llrcd the next shot Into her
body as she was getting out of tho
bed. The lirst bullet entered just bo
low the left eye, and taking a down
ward course, shattered the Jaw bone.
Tho second entered at the breast and
was removed, from the middle of the
back by tho hospital phrsloians.
O'Boyle was shot twice in front and
a little above the right ear. These
two shots flattened against the skull.
The third entered behind nnd below
tho right car and penetrated the brain.
Coroner Roberts performed an autop
sy on O'Boyle, but decided to postpone
an inquebt pending the result of Mrs.
O'Boyle's wounds. She wns alive at
midnight, but the physicians had small
hopes of her recovery.
The O'Boyles were married at St.
Peter's cathedral March 22. 180S. They
had known each other Intimately for
some time previously. He was 27 years
of age and she Is about 33.
Prior to her marriage Mrs. O'Boyle
was Lottie Kennedy. Shu was a step

IfHi tTtHlt4fjtiftHPr'Ml!TrM Mt yfcVTri.Vr.rfi fJH
daughter of a minister and lived on
River street, on tho South Side. When
O'Boyle married her she was known
as Mrs. James Chester and was the
mother of a little girl. Chester, ac
cording to tho wife's story, was killed
in Washington by a falling tree and
Ills remains Interred at his former
home In Richmond, Ind.
TUB SEPARATION.
After a brief married life tho
O'Boyles became estranged and she
had him arrested for desertion. At
the hearing before Judge Kdwards last
January the husband put In a defenso
that she was not his lega wife, and
In" support of this allegation produced
a letter from Chester's sister In which
In was stated that Chester's remains
had not been Interred In Richmond,
and, as far as the relatives knew, ho
was still living.
A few weeks ago Judge Edwards
made nn order directing that O'Boyle
pay his wife $10 a month, saying that
the question of the legitimacy of their
marriage must be determined In pro
ceedings other than a prosecution for
desertion. Divorco proceedings Insti
tuted by O'Boyle were pending at the
time.
Letters and affidavits tending to sup
port the charge of bigamy and other
offenses against his wife were found
In O'Boyle's pocket.
The remains of O'Boylo were taken
In charge by Undertaker Patrick Cuslck
and removed to his former home, 401
Plttston avenue.from where the funeral
took place yesterday afternoon. At 3
o'clock tho casket was closed and the
funeral procession moved to the Cathe
dral cemetery, where Interment wa3
made.
