TWO ARE MISSING.
With Them Went ?200 Belonging to
One of Two Parties, nntl Two
Towns Are All Agog.
Jinx Klntifcr, of Archbald, one of
tlie lending men of the town, a prom
inent politician, mniried and the father
of feiur child! en, and incidentally a
grandfather, has born missing' .since
Wednesday night. Mrs. James Peter
son, of Olyphnnt, married, the mother
of one child, lias not been seen since
Wednesday night. Mrs. Klopfer says
sho has cause to bellevo that there Is
something significant in their simul
taneous disappearance, and Mr. Peter
son is much worried from the same
cause.
K. Robinson's Sons arc particularly
Interested in the whereabouts of Mr.
Klopfer. lie was employed by them
as n driver at their distributing depot
at Archbald and has in his possession
$200 of their money, which was en
trusted to him by James Timlin, one
of tho breweiy's customers In Arch
bald. Whither the pair havo drifted Is not
known. Mrs. Klopfer tucked her hus
band as far as Scranton. but lost the
trail at the Delaware and Hudson sta
tion, and though she has diligently
sought ever since to pick It up has so
far met with no success. Agent Wil
liam Craig, of V.. Robinson's Sons, has
also made unavailing efforts to locate
the missing driver and tho $200 with
which, It is alleged, lie absconded.
All Archbald is very much agog
over Klopfer's disappearance, and Oly
phant is quite as much aroused over
tho absence of Mrs. Peterson, with its
attendant sensational circumstances.
Tho two were known to be very
friendly and in the minds of those who
were more intimately acquainted with
them there Is only little doubt but
that they went away In each other's
company.
Klopfer Is 41 years of age. Mrs.
Peterson is 33. She Is not what would
bo called handsome and her neighbors
do not nttrlbuto to her the most ami
able of dispositions.
At one time, Klopfer was treasurer
of Archbald borough and also tax col-,
lector. He was census enumerator for
tho First ward of Archbald.
EXCITED WOMENFOLK.

v itlioul a single duplicate.
One of tho largest shipments of this
lot of embroideries has come to Jonas
Long's Sons, In this city, where it wilt
be placed on sale Tuesday morning at
9 o'clock. While much of It is worth
ninety cents the yard, and hardly a
yard less than thirty-five to fifty
cents, it Is nil to be sold at the price
of seventeen cents.
There'll be a great scramble at the
big steire on Tuesday for these beauti
ful embroider lea. None will be sold
before 9 o'clock, however.

HUMAN SYMPATHY
AND PITY OF GOD
CHRIST EXERCISES BOTH TO
WARDS HUMAN KIND.
Ho Has This Two-fold Feeling for
Us, tho Pity of a God nnd Sympa
thy from a Human Point of View.
This Latter He Obtained by De
coming, Himself, a Human
Creature Interesting nnd Eloquent
Discourse by Rev. G. Parsons
Nichols, D. D., of Elnghamton,
N. Y.
Hev. Dr. O. Parsons Nichols, of
Illnghamton, who is so universally re
vered In tho Presbyterian church of
the east, occupied tho pulpit at the
Second Presbyterian church yesterday.
The activity of his mind, the virility
of ills speech nnd the clear, beautiful
d'ctlon so characteristic of this clergy
man are unimpaired by the flight ol
years. He spoke yesterday morning
from Ileb. 4: 15: "For wo have not an
high priest which cannot be touched
by the feeling of our lnllrmltles, but
was In all points tempted like as wa
are, yet without sin."
"Tho High Priest," he said, "lived
revered and exalted above all In thei
Jewish nation. Ills was an ofllco like
which was none other. IIo was the
medium of communication between
the people on earth nnel God on high.
He offered for them the sacrifices for
their sins nnd presented for them In
his perton what they could not realize.
"Vet he was only partially what
they deemed. Jesus Christ actually
comprises for us nnel nil who receive
IUm eternal priesthood, because Ho
lived a sinless life. Ho represents the
lnexhaustable resources of the DIety.
Added to Ills many qualifications is
another, that of sympathy.
"Sympathy Is a wonderful thing, the
quick warm sympathy that awakens
us from despair. Wo arc nerved to
Inspiration by sympathy and Chris
tianity spreads and moves by Its aid.
"It is 'to feel with' not pity for
pity looks down upon; sympathy
throws itself Into the existence of
friends with love. We pity the crimi
nal going to his execution. Wo sym
pathize with our friend in his trouble.
It is a great thing to have tho elecD,
full warm sympathy of any mnn. It
is a power for guidance and comfort.
A TWO-FOLD FEELING.
"But our privilege Is greater than
this. Yonder In heaven with two -fold
feeling Is Christ with the pity of God
and the sympathy from the human
point of view, feeling for us as a
brother. IIo obtained this by becom
ing himself a human creature, tho per
sonal sharer of our lot, with a body
which could feel heat and cold, could
hunger and thirst and be weary, ana
a soul alive to all acute sensibilities.
"He was tried and tempted, enticed
to evil ns we are. Ho was disappoint
ed, forsaken by friends, rejected by
those He had as we are. Ho suffered
every woe, was divine, nnd yet His
divinity was not lessened by a single
temptation. He divested himself of
glory, met hatred, pride, cruelty as
we meet these; only He was more sen
sitive and consumed with desire to
aid us.
"There Is no ground of sympathy
more complete; It covers the whole of
human life. Whatever I have to gei
through Ho has gone through; what
ever I strive to do he has attained. He;
knows how awful it is to die, how
painful to live. He made no mistake,
did not sin.
"Seme will say that if He had sinned
He could feel for us a lit Ic more deep
ly, but this Is a mistake. Sin deadens
the soul and incapacitates It fer deep
feeling. The sinless nro the tenderest.
The angels are tenderer than man.
They have not sinned. Jesus Is more
merciful because He has gone down
into the depths, has felt temptation
and has como forth unscathed. What
He was He still Is, tho same Foul, part
of the everlasting life. Ho never
ceases to bo our brother.
"When we sec Christ face to face wo
shall see a human face and touch a
human hand. I do not know whether
we shall ever be nearer to God, whom
no man hath seen, but we shall see a
brother man on the throne.
HAD HUMAN ATTRIBUTES.
"Ho had our possession of the gift
of life; He was a child, a youth with
the early longings, the early eiues
tlonlngs nnd experiences. All children
in their first years have glimpses of
their ideals of God and their duties.
He felt sometimes that great love for
His Father, just as any boy or girl
feels that thrill of dpvotlon. lie wns
like any Iltelo boy rooted in the sanc
tity of home, nature, the Bible and the
synagogue. His first love wns for his
mother. His first work, His father's
carpentering. His first beauty He had
made all beauty were the deep blue
Syrian sky anil tho scarlet lilies on
the galllean hills. He touched every
thing as a boy, an ideal boy, not as an
angel.
"We may approach Him when wo
couldn't go to anyone else. There Is
no ono so low tempted, ha vanquished
that He does not bend down to lift up.
"Sympathy Includes work. Few ap
preciate the amount of work, physical,
mental and spiritual, that Christ did
in those three brief yenrs. IIo sym
pathizes with the busy man, tho youth
In his striving. He realized the no
cesslty for work. It is not work which
is a curie, but Idleness. Goel loves
good, honest work. Hut It must havo
in it the true principal that it Is all
for the glory of Goel, not tho spending
of lives In dally toll for mere food ami
clothlnpr."
The address closed with nn impas
sioned appeal for the realization of the
sympathy of Christ with grief nnel suf
fering. "Tlitro are those who say
that the world is ou'growing the need
of Christ's sympathy," he snld. "That
will never, never be while there nto
pain and woe, while there are sick
rooms and graves open at our feet."
CREDIBILITY OF THE BIBLE.
Able Sermon by Rev. James Phelps,
of Syracuse, at Elm Park.
Rev. James Phelps, of Syracuse, N.
Y., last night nddressed the congrega
tion of the Kim Park Methodist Epls
copal church, on the subject of the
Bible, dwelling particularly on the New
Testament. Rev. Phelps is possessed
of a gentle, pleasing delivery, and Ills
sot mon made a profound Impression
upon all who heard It. In discussing
the subject, lie said:
"In law, In Blackstone, thero arc
four rules of credibility, four rules In
which witnesses must be perfect. Let
us apply these rules to the Now Tes
tament and see If the work of the
great authors enn be relied upon us
authentlo and true.
"Firstly, witnesses must bo compct-

"Ono yenr ngo last Juno three doc
tors gave mo up to die, nnd ns 1 had nt
different times used your Vegetable
Compound with good results, I had too
much faith in it to dto until I lmd tried
it again. I was apparently nn Invalid,
was confined to my bed for ten weeks.
(I bellevo my trouble was ulceration of
womb).
"After taldncr four bottles of tho
Compound and using some of tho Llvr
Pills und Sanative Wash, at the ond of
two months I had grontly improved
and weighed 155 pounds, when 1 never
beforo weighed over 138. Lydla E.

Mn. Ilnrnlinrt r.ojojn JAfo Onco More.
" Deak Mns. Pi.vkh.vm I hnd been
sick ever since my marriage, seven
years ngo; havo given birth to four
children, and had two miscarriages. I
had falling of womb, loucorrhexa, pains
In back and legs; dyspepsia nnd a
nervous trembling of the stomach.
Now 1 have none of these troubles and

ent. By competent we mean sound of
mind, of n good moral character, and
be disponed to testify. Were the au
thors of the New Testament com
petent witnesses? Indeed they were.
When ono reads the clear, pure logic
and sentences, one feels that they were
round of mind and their characters
were proved by the untold sufferings
they endured for tho Lord, forsaking
all else'. To Matthew In p.utlculnr 1
feel grateful, for he, mote than any ono
of the apostles gave us tho words of
Jesus, In their entirety. Then we turn
to St. Luke, the physician, nnd then
to St. Pauf, the learned man who
possessed that great power of making
men feel that ho was telling the truth
and was honest.
"The second rule Is that a witness in
order to be believed must give a per
sonal testimony, nnd a person can only
bo belleveel when ho knows or saw the
thing In question. We have such ex
amples of personal testimony in pro
fane history. Caesar's commentaries,
authentic accounts of the great wars
of his time, were written in tho heat
of action nnd snVe for tho over
whelming conceit that pervades them,
are splendid testimony. The best bi
ography' ever wiltten of any man,
Boswell's Llf.V of Samuel Jeihnson,
w "W n grand Instance of personal
testimony. Hoswell accompanied John
son everywhere, made notes of his
every act and as a lesult we hae the
great biography.
Nothinir wns too small or insignifi
cant for Hoswell to Jot down. It Is
said that on one occasion on Boswell's
making a remaik, gruff old Johnson
limine! up anej remarked snapplly,
"Hoswell, you'ie an ass anel an idiot."
"Yes, sir," the scribe answereel duti
fully, and taking out his pad Jotted It
down.
"Thus, the apostles, almost every act
nnel word of the Lord has been trans
mitted to us by these faithful ones.
They did not accompany it with nny
long di awn out eulogies, but gave us
the simple facts.
"The third rule is that tho witness
must have no motives to make his
story good. A wife, sister or daughter
is Incompetent In a measure to testify
against her husband, hi other or fath
er. The authors of the New Testament
bad no motives to make their story
goeiel. They made no money, they
gained nothing. The New Testament
was written by these great authors,
who forsook lucrative positions, mere
ly to live nnd die with Christ, and
who sealed their testimony with their
hearts' blood.
"The fourth rule Is that tho wit
ness must give the parliculais. I
used to wonder in reading the Bible
why It was necessary to explain every
thing so much in full, and give all the
veriest details. The man who gives
the particulars gives a true picture
anel Is a geiod witness.
"These nre the four rules and In all
of them are the authors of the New
Testament good witnesses, and I for
one believe the Bible as 1 believe my
life."
In telling of the wonderful power of
the Bible, Hev. Phelps narrated nn In
cident which had come under his own
observation. Near him there lived a
man who was a notorious infidel nnd
scoffer. Ills daughter lived with him.
in the midst of the atmosphere of
sacrilege and unbelief. The girl was
slekly, anel ono day tho news spread
that she was dying. Rev. Phelps at
tended her, nnel she told him that at
the Inst moment she had offered up
prayer to the Almighty and that she
hud then experienced a beautiful feel
ins of rest and calm.
"She died, believing in tho Lord,
happy and content," said the speaker.
Rev. Phelps brought his sermon to a
close by nn eloquent plea for a more
general study of tho Bible, and more
unlvetsal appreciation of Its contents.

UNIVERSALIS! ON
A LITERAL HELL
ALFRED DONLEY REPLIES TO
REV. JAMES BENNINQER.
Prominent Universnllst Spoko Last
Night in All Soul's Church Ac
cuses Mr. Renulnger of Inconsist
ency and Contends That Christian
Cruelty May Do Traced to tho Idea
That God Sends Persons to Ever
lasting Punishment Unlvorsallst
Doctrine Regarding Punishment
Explained.
The sermon preached last Sunday by
Rev. Jnnics Uennlngcr, pastor oi the'
Hampton Street Methodist Kplscopal
church, in which he proclaimed his be
lief in a literal hell called for a most
vigorous reply last night from Alfred
J. Donley, a prominent locnl Unlversa
llst, who spoke In All Souls' Unlvorsa
llst church. He spoke in part as fol
lows: "Rev, Mr. Rennlnger said last Sun
day that he preached n literal hell be
cause the doctrine was not being
preached from modern pulpits ns much
as it used to be. It wns, of course.
his duty if he is a sincere believer to
preach this doctrine. There nre very
few clergymen, however, who would
dare to take this parable to preach the
doctrine of a literal hell. It's a very
hard thing to find any passage in It
that may possibly be construed 10
tene-h the doctrine.
"Ho says that there Is a literal hell
fire, but not, perhaps, a material llame.
That's inconsistency on Its face. How
could such n thing be? Canon Fnrrar,
of Kngland has said that there are
three things taught by the Christian
church that ate now essentials. lie
summed up these three things as fol
lows: "First That tho fire of hell Is a ma
terial fire and that the agonies suf
fered there nre physical agonies.
"Second That those who die in sin
pass irrevocably into this literal hell
"Thlrel That the punishment ot
those doomed to hell Is everlasting.
TWO ARE INCONSISTENT.
"I tell you that It Is a very good
thing that there Is not more of this
preaching of this terrible doctrine
from our modern pulpits, for the cler
gyman who preaches hell-flro cannot
consistently preach of the love of God.
I will try to distinguish between the
various Christian conceptions of hell.
"Tlie Cahinlstie churches believe
that God selects a few people who are
to escape this everlasting punishment
Those who nre to be saved are elected
by Him and nccordlng to His mercy
He shall save us.
"The Armenian churches, not exact
ly liking this doctrine, tench that man
condemns himself of his own free will,
that he can be saved from hell if he
so chooses,
"Tho Unlvorsallst church teaches
that the sinner receives punishment
for his sins in this life nnd In the life
to come. What this punishment Is
wo do not dogmatize upon. We be
lieve that all punishment Is for the
purpose of correction only nnd its ex
tent we leave to the Almighty God.
"The Calvinlstlc doctrine Is revolting
to any minister who is n lover of hu
manity and it Is what has caused a
deal of trouble lately among the
churches preaching it. Those who be
lieve It aie forced to bellevo In In
fant damnation and In the damnation
of tho heathen. It means tho eternal
damnation of all, In fact, axcept the
few tthom Goel may elect to be saved.
"The Armenian churches revolt at
the idea of infant damnation, but their
position Is Illogical, because, If there
Is a literal hell, Infant damnation must
be, ns only those who nre converted
believers can bo saved.
"The Vniversallst church agrees
slightly with both of these views. We
believe that the will ot Almighty God
will prevail, but that Goel willeth
death to no man. Wo believe that
God, in giving man a free will, allows
him to choose a great deal for himself,
but we believe that man's will Is al
ways subpect to God's.
TENDENCY NOT GOOD.
"The tendency of this doctrine of a
literal, everlasting hell preached to the
people Is not a gooel one. I believe
that almost all cruelty existing In
Christian countries may be traced
back to this conception of Goel pun
ishing people unjustly by meting out
infinite torments for n finite thing. If
there Is no hell a great responsibility
attaches to those who preach that
there is one.
"Rev. Mr. Hennlnger contends that
there Is n great gulf fixed between
heaven and hell that enn never be
bridged. The Ulble says that Christ
has tho keys to death and hell, and
who may say that He may not again
preach to the spirits in hell as we are
told in the Epistles of Peter Uhat He
once did.
"Hev. Mr. HennlngT quotes liishop
Fowler as saying: 'Canlshl hell from
the next world and you inaugurate it
in this.' That to my mind is tanta
mount to saying, 'Whether there Is a
hell or not, preach it for the sake of
expediency.'
"He litotes Dr. Rarnes ns inquiring
how It Is possible fop the Universal
is to believe that 'lull will yet be
vacated of guilty millions, and that
all its miserable inhabitants will be
received into heaven.' The Univer
snllst i hurch does not preach for a
moment that guilty millions are going
from hell Into heaven.
"We believe that every human soul
must be perfect beforo It can enter
heaven, nnd that none without holi
ness may hco tho Lord. We teach that
God loves all of us nnd wishes naught
but good for us nil."
