Traces of Sympathy Can Bo Found in Every Person Mnny of the Shipwrecks That Are Mot Along tho Road of Life Might Bo Pre vented by tho Exercise of n. Little Sympathy It Raises Those Who Havo Fallen and Puts New Life Into tho Unfortunate. "Sympathy Is one of tho virtues of tho human race that seems to have survived the deluge ot corruption that swept over tho world," said Hev. James Hughes In his sermon In tho Adams Avenue chapel last night. "In nearly every child of Adam wo find traces of this noble trait of char acter In a fainter or more pronounced degree Where it does exist promi nently It blazes forth in resplendent glory ns one of tho richest ornaments ot human character. While It Is found In nearly all persons, yet In some cases, because of the perversity caused by moral regeneracy, It takes an ob lique course and expends Itself on In ferior objects. "For Instance, while the Turks are proverbially cruel to those of their own species, they are very kind to nil animals. While they havo been known to torture to death a human being on tho slightest provocation, they are very considerate of dumb animals, and will punish with undue severity any person who Is guilty of wanton cruelty to a dog, or Indeed any beast or bird. Among nil classes, both In civilized and savage life, we still find indica tions of this heaven-born principle. Missionaries to the heathen have found nmong the unsophisticated barbarous tribes of the earth conspicuous evi dence of sympathy ns some exotic plant of exquisite beauty, growing In a sluntad form, among the ruins of what once wns the paradise ot God. The very existence of nny such noble trait of character as we discover among degenerate mankind furnishes us with some Idea of the dignity and excellency which onco adorned our race. MUST HAVE SYMPATHY. "Man Is so constituted that he can not enjoy life without n, consciousness that he has tho sympathy of some one. There Is n strong craving for this In every person. It seems to be an es sential part of human nature. Stoic ism would make an excision of this and thus destroy tho humanity of our race. Even the Son of God, tho per fect One, both gave sympathy and de sired It. "While He felt Indescribable lone liness In the garden, Ho pathetically appealed to His three desclples, say ing: 'Could ye not watch with Me one hour?' When there appeared to be a revolt on the part of many who had received His teachings. He turned to Ills disciples and said, 'Will ye-also go away?' And even after His resur rection, after all that was material and mortal had been changed into the etherlal and Immortal, He said to Peter, 'Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me. "Thus wo see that even the Immacu late Son of God desired sympathy and no doubt obtained it in John, Mary, Martha and Lazarus. "Wherever humanity is found, and where humanity Is most human there will bo seen a craving for sympathy. Where this is not found, man's heart has become ossified and his Instincts more brutal than the beast of the field. "Again, where true sympathy abounds wo have the nearest approach to a likeness of Christ. Lord Bacon says, 'Being desirous of the weal of men, which Is what tho Grecians call phllanthropla; this of all vlrutes and dignities of the mind, is the greatest, being the character of the Deity; and without It man Is a busy, mischievous. wretched thing, no better than a kind of vermin. Christ had compassion -on tho multitude and this was sympathy in action, for He fed them. REFLECTS NOBLENESS. "Thus we find that sympathy wher ever found and In whomsoever when excerclsed retlects nobleness of charac ter. It Is a spurious dignity to affect a supercilious, stoical attitude in the presence of the surrounding woe and want, by which we are sometimes en vironed. No man should consider his life an Island cut off from all other lands, but should consider himself part of tho great continent of human exist ence. "His heart should bo like the mlnosa plant which Is effected by Its sur roundings, or like the noble tree that is wounded Itself before It can give the balm that is needed to heal an other. True nobility of character con sists In being able to weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice, and to be touched with the feelings of other persons' infirmities. This Is indeed Christ-like in spirit and in action. "No one can estimate the effect of sympathy. There Is no more potent force In operation for the uplifting of humanity and the enoblement of the character of man. Perhaps the best definition that we can give of sympa thy Is to describe It as a fellow feel ing. After all, the word Is better un derstood than It can be elucidated. It Is one of those words that Is better felt and explained by tho heart, than It can bo seen nnd defined by tho In tellect. Tho Great Teacher has set it forth In bold prismatic colors in tho golden text, 'Do unto others as wo would have others do unto us.' "It Is an Inward force whose ten dency Is to transpose a person's feel lugs Into the condition ot those less favored than himself. St. Paul gave a very strong nnd striking exposition of sympathy when he suld that ho could wish himself anathema for tho sake of his brethren. NO AFFINITY. "Much that Is called charity In theso days has not the remotest affinity with tiue sympathy. What wo call charity nowadays, may appease hun ger and afford comfort In many ways to tho Indigent and needy, but If be stowed by an Icy hand It has no moral value or enobllng tendency. "Don't supposo for a moment that I am condemning riches, or rich men Just because they aro rich. No, I can truly say that I havo found sympathy most bountiful among tho opulent, as well as among the Indigent. What I say Is this, that material aid when given does not always Imply sympa thy, nor when withheld does It al ways provo the lack of It, Tho widow who received charity from tho unjust Judgo because she annoyed him by her What a Little Faith Did FOR AIRS.

They satisfied tho crav ings of hunger, but they did not set tho heart aglow with purer' nnd stron ger emotions. Tho gift was destitute of that magnetic thrill which causes the- recipient to forgot the gift In an absorbing admiration of the giver. Much of tho charity of today lacks what John Huskln used to call the 'touch faculty.' When Jesus was pressed by the throng and said, 'Who touched Me,' wo know that there was something more meant by It than the vulgar pressure of tho crowd, the 'touch faculty' of body and soul wa3 In motion. "It was tho magnetic Influence ot this touch faculty that c.-.used a flutter In tho homes of suffering and poverty In every town through which Jesua passed, and caused the residuum popu lation of those towns to bo in evi dence and clamorous for the blessings of sympathy. SECRET OF IT. "The late Hev. F. W. F.obertson says: 'Famine and pestilence are met by abundant liberality; and the apparent return for this Is riot and sedition. But the secret lies all In this. It is not In channels such ns these that the heart's gratitude can flow. Love Is not bought by money, but by love. There has been nil the machinery of a pub lic distribution; but there has been no exhibition of individual, personal Inter est. Public donations have their value and their uses, but in the point ot eliciting gratitude all these fall. Man has not been brought Into contact close enough with man for this. They do not work by sympathy.' Christian sympathy should bring us into touch with the people whom we want to re form and save from sin and Its conse quent misery. C. H. rtpurgeon praying by the bedside of a sick orphan and then placing a cnge with a canary bird In It close by to cheer the dying mo ments of that fatherieijs boy, did much to refine the feelings and develop the noble elements of character In the life of many persons who had not been In the habit of attending the house of God. "When tho late W. E. Gladstone, the great prime minister of England, read the Bible and made prayer with a poor little crossing sweeper, whom ho found in a lone garret In London, and then supplied him with all the delicacies needed In a sick room, ho exercised a power for good down nmong the roots of national life, greater than he ever wielded by his peerles oratory, or his costliest gifts. One touch of true sym pathy will sometimes cause the broken cords of life to vibrate again. Yes, sympathetic contact with tho aban doned nntl debased will go far to re kindle the lamp of hope, put Into operation new springs of thought and action, and paint the rainbow on a dark and frowning sky. GREATLY CHEERED. "When John Gough, the temper ance orator, was In greatest trouble and was nearly sinking under the weight of the calumnies which people had heaped upon him, he was greatly cheered by a letter of sym pathy from the secretary of the Lon don Young Men's Christian associa tion. Ills own statement Is this: 'Words of sympathy from your secre tary and through you, in days of dark ness, In days of cloud, In days i.vhcn storms gathered round me, comforted me, strengthened me, encouraged nie; and I shall never forget It, In the midst of tho turmoil produced by those who did not llko my mode of ad vocating this question, and their feel ings rose Into absolute persecution, I felt this, young men, and I say It to night. 1 felt thnt I could lean upon the confidence placed In me by the Young Men's Christian association of London, and I grew strong hinder it. For sympathy puts life Into a man like drops of water upon a wilted flower.' ? "O.h, what a number of shipwrecks might be prevented, nnd what an guish and misery prevented, by tho ex ercise of a little sympathy. It may prevent men from falling Into sin and misery and It raises those who have fallen and puts new life Into them. Let ovry member of the Church of Christ believe this, and net upon it, and glorious results will follow. Sunday Excursion to Mauch Chunk and Glen Onoko.

Ono of tho Most Popular of City Aldermen Will F. Burke, tho Song Writer Ho Has Finished the Words and Music of Another Song Destined to Bo Popular James T. Lutton, Who Has Been in the Printing Business in This City for Many Years. It is doubtful If among all the lower court magistrates of the city there Is a more popular or better liked alder man than Myron Kasson, tho genial Justice of the Ninth ward. Alderman Ka3son has acted as magistrate ot tho "hill" ward for about three years now, and In that time has conducted with excellent success a great amount of civil and criminal business. Ho has had to preside over many cases where high and rare Judicial qualities were required, but has come through them all with flying colors. Personally, tho alderman Is a Jolly good fellow. He has a great fund of good nature, and Is a raconteur of no mean ability, nnd has ever a tiuantlty of good stories on band to spring on anyone equipped with goods of the same nature to ex change. Alderman Kasson Is a very good-natured man, and as a result has had to endure In his office some of the oddest specimens of humanity la the city, who persist In making his rooms their headquarters. For several months the particular nuisance around the otllco was a man about seventy years of age, a tall, emaciated looking Individual, who had an Idea floating around his cranium that a certain clique of persons were wantonly conspiring against him. His penchant was securing the arrest of these evil-minded people nnd landing thorn In state's prison, and during tho entire winter ho prowled around the office with this vengeful scheme. He has now disappeared, but another character has taken his pluce. Will F. Burke, the popular North Scranton vocalist, comedian and all around good fellow, has completed the words and music of a new song, en titled "She's the Girl I Should Have Married Long Ago." There Is a pretty sentiment running through tho word3 and the song has a delightful, swinging refrain that Is well-nigh Irresistible. Mr. Burke has achieved a wide reputation as a writer of popular songs, and some of his ballads have had a great vogue throughout the country. Especially was this true of a song written by him some little time ago, "She Lives on tho Same Street with Me," which was sung all over the country. All of his songs possess that peculiar attribute known as "catchlness," hence their popularity. He is himself a singer of no mean quality and a comedian and mimic ot wonderful ability, having been qulto prominent In the vaudevlllo world for a number of years. He Is a rare com panion, and It has been said that an hour In his company will cure the very worst attack ot the blues It Is possible for a man to have. There are few more Interesting char acters In the city than James T. Lut ton, who has been connected In one capacity or another with the papers ot this city for so long a period that it seems almost impossible that there could have been a time when "Jim" Lutton was not doing something around a newspaper oftlce hereabouts. He has been everything from devil to editor, and he filled every position well. As the foreman of local newspaper composing rooms In the days when all type was set by hand, he will prob ably be longest and best known by the members of the craft hereabouts. Scores of men now engaged In vari ous branches of the printing business were Instructed in the mysteries of the art by Lutton, and all of them will tell you that what they learned under him they know. He was very thorough, and the young man who learned how to set type under his watchful eye could go Into nny composing room In the coun try and not be nshamed of his work. Ho would hold his stick Just right, would space his lines and divide his words Just right, and would stand nt his case In a way that would Insure him length of years and properly formed shoulders. One of the things frequently dis cussed during distribution hours by compositors In the old days of hand set type was the knack Lutton had ot taking the most unpromising candidate for type-setting honors, youths often who had been banished from other offices for laziness or slovenly habits, and making of them not only correct, but very rapid type-setters. He would take a youth spoiled In some other ofllce, who stood on one foot beforo his case and balanced himself by sticking his elbow Into the "q" box, and In a short time tho bad habits would have flown and tho youth would have ac quired a "movement," to say nothing of a standing before the case, that would make him a desirable addition to any newspaper composing room. Lutton's methods were not always the gentlest, but genuine kindliness was always tho spirit that animated him. Many n youth, who during his apprenticeship days secretly cursed Lutton for his exactions, lived to count him his best friend, tho one ho owed much to. It has been several years now since Lutton has been very act ively engaged In the printing or pub lishing business. He Is one of the most ardent champions of spiritualism in the city and he also devotes a good deal of his time to hypnotism. There Is no man herenbouts who can give better Illustrations of the powers of hypnotism and frequently, for the amusement or Instruction of his friends, ho gives exhibitions of his In fluence over certain subjects.

Tho funeral of tho late Howard Tripp, who, while bathing In Lake Erie, last Wednesday, was drowned, wa3 held Saturday, 8er Ices were liehl at tho home of his parents at 527 Adams avenue, and Interment was made In tho Forest Hill cemetery.
