Archbalil, who was onJalneil Into the Presbyterian min istry last Wednesday ovenlng, preach ed two scrmors yeatorday, ono In tho morning at tho first Presbyterian church and one In tho cvonbiR nt the Second Presbyterian. Tho wonderful sincerity of tho young man and hla simple and clear exposition of gospel truths mode a deep Impression on the two large congregations that heard him. 1'pv. Charles E. rtoblnson, D. T., pastor of the Second church, eloquent ly inttoduced the newly-ordained clergyman In tho evening, saying that he was glad to welcome this son of the First church. "Hoth churches are really one," ho said. Itcv. Mr. Arch bald took as his theme "A True Stand ard of Worth," and chose as his text the first live vcrsoB of tho fourth chap ter of St. Paul's Hi st eplstlo to tho Corinthians. The keynote of the ser mon was found In the lines " but with mo It Is a very small thins that 1 should be Judged by you or by man's Judgments." Among other things he said; "Hy ono of three standards all men measure the value of their charac ters. These are, 'What does tho world think of me?' 'What do I think of tnyse'f?' or still again 'What docs tho Lord think of mo7' ".Vnny of us live too much In thoughts of what men will say of us. Much of our exchanging gifts at Chr'stmas time falls to this low plane. Do we not often make our glft3 for fear of what our friends may think It the usual transactions are forgotten? Ir.n't this under varying cIrcumstanco3 the standard that obtains In labor and In business? 'No one,' argues tho shopkeeper, 'will recognize tho Infer ior quality of the goods on tho coun tpr.' 'No one,' things tho mechanic, 'will see the weak piece of wood or steel.- 'No one,' supposes tho business man, 'will ever know of the sharp dealings that make my money.' A'JOTHETt STANDARD. "Km tncre may bo another standard by which wo may try to test our lives. Tber? are tliosa, we know them, who say, "I sec no fault In my4Ife. I'm living the best sort of life I know of bettor by far than many church members.' Those men have set up tlmlr own standard of worth, depending on tho guidance o their own hearts. According to tho standard of tho heart, as far as It tells them, they are living In right relations with their fellow men. "Wo carry this method of compari son even into our Christian relation ships and gladly permit our hearts to exalt themselves at tho expense of a fellow Christian. Wo llko to flt:d some ways of getting the other mar down to our level; we llko to stand on the little hill our hearts have heaped up and to look off contentedly over the even plain of other llvoi. Would It not be better to put the hill on which wo proudly stand over against the towering mountain? "Millions of souls within tho last few yi'.irs have tried to live with the thought uppermost In mind, 'What would Jesus do?" Tho same rule can be put into a different form perhaps n more arcu.-ate form, 'What does Jesus think of me7' Now apply this rule to the two standards of life which wr- have been considering. See bow It will belittle the Judgment of men or the Judgment of our own heart. Men may see my outward life and think ma worthy of their api robatton; tho laws of honesty In business, of rourtery In socWy. of lidcllty to the church, all these have been kept to tho letter. Men may point their linger at mo and rav 'Well done,' but' 'What would Jesus think of mo Does Ho see that I deserve no vote of praise Does Ho detect the envy and spite that burns when another 'succeeds? Does He knew th cant phrases In which I call Him Savior rr.d then do not let Him save me from my besetting sin? A ItlGHT VALUE. "In such searchlngs of the heart lies tho possibility of that humility which gives a right value to one's self. By vlctlon, born of a regard for only God's Judgment, John Huss In 1S44 at' the council which condemned him to the stake was fearless In his appeals to tho Most Righteous Judge. When these ap peals were called errors nnd were re ceived with derision and laughter, ho turned to his Judges nnd exclaimed, 'I have maintained, and still maintain, that there Is no surer nnd no safer ap peal than to Jesus Christ, for He can not bo bent with bribery, deceived by false witnesses or surprised by tricks.' "Such a dependenco upon God's wis dom and Justice can overlook man's splto and can oven forgive his fiercest hatred. With God's approval, a. Huss can endure oven tho flames, lleyond their cruel tongues, ho may sco tho coming of the Lord, when Ho shall make manifest tho councils of tho heart and shall glvo to each man tho reward he deserves. There may be persecu tions now and many misunderstand ings, but we rest In His favor. "And In the day when God shall Judgo the secrets of men, there shall bo a, 'well done' for tho servant who has thought only of the Master's Interests. All along the way that servant has tested himself by asking, 'What does Jesus think of mo?' 'What Is tho Lord's Judgment of my llfo?' For him tho final day of judgment will simply bo tho day when the Great Judgo shall manifest what has been confirmed In his heart by tho repeated experiences of llfo. What shall the Judgment of tho Lord be then? What is His Judg ment now? Wlrtit shall He think of mo then? What does Ho think of mo now?" NEW BAPTIST CHURCH CORNER STONE LAID REV. OWEN JAMES, D.

In repairing the portion of the Ablngton turnpike within the city limits. Such was tho decision of the prison board at Sat urday's meeting. Judgo Archbald, who went over the road Friday with President II. E. Paine, of tho turnpike company, gave It as his opinion that It would bo In expedient to do any work on the road until the grade Is bettered. Anything done now would merely be patchwork, and he favored making only perma nent ' Improvements. The board con curred In his views. It is probable, tho board believed, that In view of the opportunity of having tho roadway im pjoved free of expense, that the city will take steps to regrade the street. Supervisor Dunning reported that City Engineer1 Phillips had stakPd out a new road nlong the side of the West mountain, which will reduce the grade to seven per cent. It is now about eleven per cent. He also made an in teresting report on the work as far as It has progressed. County Commissioner Morris report ed that the Delaware and Hudson company had made settlements with nil the prisoners Injured in the Pop lar street crossing accident except one, a man named Flnnegan, who refuses to compromise. Warden Simpson told the board that the Injured prisoners , this asking of 'What does Jesus think Rev, James McLood, D, D., preached a ficrmon on "Good Citizenship," In tho First Presbyterian church last night. Among other things, ho said that our fellow-cltlzons who are try ing to purify tho social nnd civic nnd political atmosphere ought to bo en couraged and their hands ought to bo strengthened by all hdnest men, nnd by all who arc Interested In the welfare of this city. Every law-abiding citi zen will say of these friends: "Well done good nnd faithful servants, we will stand by you nnd wo will help you In your work of reform." "That law-brenklng hns been carried on In an open and shameful way, wo have abundant proof from the law breakers themselves. The newspapers of yesterday contained the report that fifty of our citizens whose chief busi ness Is tho llrjuor trnlllc, had agreed together that t'hey would stop break ing the law. Evidently they dread the coming storm, nnd when tho lightning strikes, they hope to escape. Notwith standing t'helr agreement to observe the letter of the law, these self-confessed law-breakers will bear watch ing. "If reports be true, our city govern ment Is, for tho most part, a rotten concern. Rrlbery has been going on to an alarming extent. I would rather see one bilbe-glvor convicted nnd sent to the penitentiary,, than ten bribe takers. They are both mean; but the Individual or the corporation that of fers tho bribe Is Hie meaner of the two, nnd deserves the severest punish ment. Rut, as good citizens, we should see to It that no guilty man escapes. Some of these alleged law-breakers are quite severe In their criticism of de tectives. They don't like the detective system. They think it is wrong to set traps In order to catch rats. They don't take any Mock In deception, when they are deceived nnd caught. They object to It on personal grounds. Rut no honest man will object to It. "It requires, nt times, great' skill to catch a thief, and bribery is thievery. Tho proverb: "It takes a thief fo catch a thief" Is not yet out of date, for some thieves are so cunning that only sharp detectives can entrap them, if our "city fathers" are guilty, as charged, I for one will not criticize, very severely, the method by which they have been caught. 'Tlieie need bo no doubt.howover, of this one thing, that the social and po litical evils that allllet our city aro so grievous that every Christian and every good citizen ought to give their hearty nnd practical support to these friends who are trying to deodorize our city government, and who are deter mined to ferret out the guilty, vo bring them to justice."

One of them, who got $100, stated to War den Simpson that he proposed to buy a hors" and wagon and become a huckstsr when his term expired. Warden Simpson also reported that the prisoners are becoming proficient in carpet weaving. Two looms turned out nn average of ton yards a day last week. A third loom Is to be set up till week. As an Incentive to exer tion, it was decided to Increase tho quality of the food of tho prisoners who do good work and allow a bonus of cue cent a yard for each yard In oxcerc of seven that a prisoner may weave In a day. Many charitably In clined ladles, Warden Simpson says, are evincing an Interest In the work and assure a ready sale of all carpet woven. Commissioner Penman was appointed a committee to ascertain thu price of carpet charged by weav ers throughout tho county. The price of rlson-made material will be regu lated accordingly. The toard does not proposo to have the product of the prison looms brought Into unfair com petition with the work of the weavers of the county.

Their building was destroyed by fire on Sun day, Jon. 29.1S99. The new structure, which will be pushed to completion by the coming autumn, will be, though not a very largo church, one of tho most complete of its size of any build ing In the city, and In many respects unique In its designs and appolnt monta, Tho church building, as will be seen by the cut, Is Gothic In Its general architecture, and will be built of buff Scranton stone from the West moun tain (iiiarrles, trimmed with gray In diana limestone, tho front being of cut stone, with part of tho sides of the same, the rear of brick with Rtone trimmings. The building will have a frontago on Main avenue of E0 feet and a depth ot 100 feet, with a hand some terrace on the front of 20 feet. In front there will be three en trances; one, tho main entrance, through a Gothic porch enclosing a large storm vestibule with side ves tibules opening from It and leading by doors Into the auditorium, pastor's study, choir vestry and baptistery. The second entrance will lead direct ly to the assembly room, dining room, kitchen, robery and toilet rooms In tho basement. The third entrance will bo by the side of tho building, leading to the auditorium by a side vestibule and Into the Sunday school room. The small embattled semi-tower In tho front of the structuro will contain tho pastor's study, entrance to robing room and baptistery. MAIN AUDITORIUM. Entering tho main auditorium will be found a moderately sized room cap able ot seating 350 persons comfort ably. The, celling of tho room will rise In groins and curves to the base ot an octagonal domo some 15 feet In diameter. At this point a beautiful effect will be obtained by an art-glass decoration. The dome, as seen by tho cut, will admit ample light in Itself, which, passing through the stained glass will be diffused In softened color over the auditorium below. At night the main lighting of tho auditorium will bo from the octagonal base men tioned, tho light of which also Illu minates tho domo and the lantern above It, giving tho effect of a beacon light, which can bo seen a long dis tance away. Tho extreme height of the lantern above tho domo will bs S5 feet below tho pavemsnt below. The seating of tho auditorium will bo of tho cornsr plan, with rising floor. Three large handsomo stained-glass windows In the front and sides of the church will also aid In lighting the Interior. In the rear of tho auditorium, and opening directly Into It by tho lifting of a large partition, the machinery, of G.V. Millar & Co mmmmmwmmmmmmmmmm BARGAINS IN TAILOR-MADE SUITS AT F.

This Sunday school room will be octagonal In form, containing nil the class and primary rooms nccessfary to school work. Tho arrangements ot this de partment will be such that all the class rooms will face the superinten dent nnd can be thtown Into ono largo room for any service needed. Tho ris ing partition Is a peculiar feature be tween this room nnd the auditorium, by special mechanism this partition, nearly as largo as one side of tho auditorium, can bo lifted entirely out of sight Into the room nbove the Sun day school, so that practically when needed, the Sunday school room and the auditorium become as one, and with tho gallery above the class rooms of tho school, will Increase the seat ing capacity of tho whole to about soo. ASSEMBLY- ROOM. Tho basement will contain an as sembly room an large as tho auditor- luin proper, beside a largo dining 1 room, with kitchen, etc., under the I Sunday school rooms. All of tho heating arrangements will bo In sep arate apartments, easy to get at and to work, yet cut oft from tho other rooms around It. The lighting will bo by electricity nnd gas, and tho heating and ventila tion will be of such a character that tho entire air of tho building will bo renewed every 20 minutes when tho church or school Is In session. Tho design of the roof Is for per fect freedom from the effects of any lodgment of snow, Ice or rain, there will be 110 Impediment In tho direct course of either to the ground, from point to point. The whole building Js proposed to bo a model of neatness, compactness and utility, and though comparatively limited in size nnd extent, will con duct to tho comfort and ease of ser vice to a comparatively large number that can by Its peculiar arrangements bo accommodated at any service.

Tho work will be dono by sub-contractors and mechanics of Scranton. The full contract price of tho building, without furnishing. Is $10,030. It is expected that complete nnd furnished the cost will be $12,000. HAD A BIG DEBT. The fire found tho church struggling to pa A" ft Its bonded debt on the old structure. The amount of the Insur ance, after the debt was paid was only $3,000. Within 24 hours nfter the Jlro tho members subscribed nearly $2, 000 to begin with. A subscription which wao opened to the public nt-.large, brought pledges that amounted to nbout $2,000 more.
