LABOR DAY SERMON
BY REV. DR. GIFFIN
SPOKE OP RELATIONS OF CAPI
TAL AND LATJOP.
Said Ho "Was Startled and Saddened
on His Return from His Vacation
to Hear tho Rumblings of a Pros
pective Social Stoma Today tho
Republic Unites In Honoring One
Who Has a. Right In tho Hall of
Fame His Name Is Labor.
Rev. C. M. Glirtn, D. D., of the Elm
Park Methodist Episcopal church,
preached an eloquent and most power
ful sermon last night on "Labor Day,"
speaking principally of tho relations
between Capital and Labor. He choe
as his theme: "In all, labor thera Is
profit, but the talk ot the lips tendeth
only to penury."
"On my homecoming from my vaca
tion," said Dr. Glflln, "I was startled
and saddened to hear the rumblings ot
a prospective social storm. I always
have n fear of anything of that sort.
I om an apostle of peace and am In
terested In people living together in
peace. I do not like strikes, I fear
them. I do not profess to stand here
tonight and give advice, but I have
often prayed that the great wisdom
and intellect of this country might
find some way of settling controversies
between nations, and domestic troubles
of this nature, without resource to
violent measures.
" 'In all labor there Is profit.' Of
course, nil men expect to have wages
who toll. I3ut what shall the wages
bo? There Is the point that Is forever
In dispute.
"Any scale of wages which will stand
the tost of the Judgment Day, that
will be a Just scale.
LOQUACITV WRONG.
"Out If you read farther on In Prov
erbs, you see 'Hut the talk of the lips
tendeth only to penurj' Loquacity In
this question Is all wrong. Men should
work, not talk. More than anyone else
In stirring up all this trouble are those
walklngI do not know why they
might not Just as well be called talk
inggentlemen, who travel around agi
tating men's minds. This world has
been built by work, not wind. No one
wishes to muzzle men who want to
discuss their rights. That has been
tried In Russia and has led to the
awful results we all know about. Here
we let men 'blow It off,' but when they
speak words that are violent. Inflam
mable and Inciting to murder, then It
should be considered a criminal per
formance. "Now. regarding all these labor or
ganizations which will be In lino to
morrow. They are all lawful and
proper, but I believe that being band
ed together as they are, all Individual
Ism is lost. Personally, I do not like
to belong to secret organizations, and
am a member of none. I think that
they may do damage as well as good
in this world, and that in the wrong
hands they have as evil effects as any
despotism. I think that a man going
into a secret organization Is, to an ex
tent, swallowed by it.
"It may be asked, 'What would you
have for It?' I believe In faith In peo
ple, and have a great confidence In
human Justice."
IS AS GOD WANTS IT.
Dr. Giflln here read an extract from
an article, the author of which ad
vocated an equal division of propertj'
asserting that all men should be equal
In that respect.
"This talk of equality." said Dr.
GIfiln, "is all nonsense. The world as
God wants It, Is the world we ought
to be contented with. All Americans
nre workmen. Tho rich man has to
work harder to take care of his
wealth than anyone on earth. Our
original sin Is not laziness. No; wo
are a people at activity, and we are
moving the world, while moving our
selves. We have our small class of
weary Willies, and, praise heaven,
a ntlll smaller class of titled heirs. Hut
they are like the spots on the sun.
"I recognize the owners nnd pro
prietors as laborers, and to say con
cerning proprietorship that It con
sists In robbing nntl depriving others.
Is all wrong, and If a man is wealthy
he has obtained It through his own
endeavors.
The Interests of proprietor nnd la
borer blend. There should not be ri
valry between them, but union.
"I have known many operators and
owners, but I never knew nny who nro
pprsonlflcations of the selllsh, mean
and grasping qualities which the are
pictured to be. The operators I know
are men who are willing to listen to
nny sensible nrguments and calmly
reason. The tendency of the world is
against men with money.
ROOT OUT SALOONS.
"I do not Fay to men at starva
tion's brink to sit there nnd trust In
God alone, but I do say that capital
should not be shouldered with tho
load. I saj", root out tho saloons and
tho question will bo partly settled. If
wo could get tho men to say to each
other, 'Wo are brothers,' then the
strike would be at and end. There Is
too much distrust between capital and
labor, too little confidence between
employer nnd employe. John Huskln
said man should work 'with the sweat
of his brow, not the breakage of his
heart.' Let the American artisan have
a light heart. There are three car
dinal points I would mention to show
that 'In labor there Is profit.'
Face About!
There is no guess-work about the fit
tmo condition of that man, who shall
have determine d on a course of SAVING
once R start is made. Two words tell the
story i--Save, and Have.
To save, Is to have to have something
substantial in on hour of real need; for
such hours art oltcn reached in emy
man's life. That man who never expects
to see a day of want, is a man without
ambition; and society has but little use
for him. Rut the hopeful man tho striv
ing man is certain to cotno out on top of
all difficulty.
Never mind the past face about I Quit
being a spender and become a saer.
Theie's r.o telling what the change of
habits will do for 5011. And we'll chow
ou how to begin It's easy.

Mrs. Pinkham's Medicine Made
a New Woman of Mrs. Kuhn.
1 LETTER TO MKS. MNKBAlt NO. 64,491
" Df.au Mrs. Pinkham I think it is
ray duty to write to you expressing
my sinccro gratitudo for tho wonder
ful relief I have experienced by tho uso
of Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegctnblo Com
pound. I tried different doctors, also
different kinds of medicine. I would
feel better nt times, then would bo
as bad as ever.
" For eight years I was a great suf
ferer. I had falling of tho womb nnd
was In such misery at my monthly
periods 1 could not work but a little
before I would have to lie down. Your
medicine hasmado a new woman of me.
I can now work all day nnd not get
tired. I thank you for what you havo
dono for mo. I shall always praiso
your medicine to all suffering women."
Mrb. E. E. Kunx, Gmuiako, Ohio.
" I havo taken eightbottles of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegctablo Compound
and used two packages of your Sana
tive Wash, also somoof the Liver Pills,
and I can say that your remedies will
do all that you claim for them. Beforo
taking your remedies I was very bnd
with womb trouble, was nervous, had
no ambition, could not sleep, and my
food seemed to do me no good. Kow I
am well, and your medicine has cured
me. I will gladly recommend your med
icine to every one wherever I go."
Mrs. JI. L. Shiiars. Gun Marsh, Mich.
"First Health. The homes of tho
laboring man now are homes, not huts
and hovels. The people worst oft In
life nro those who havo nothing to do.
Second In labor there Is the profit
of happiness. Labor gives tho flush
of health and sublime happiness to all
who pursue it.
"Third There Is the profit of honor.
In these days when a man's hand is
soft it Is considered almost a mark of
dishonor. When the slaves were
emancipated there were moro than the
black man set at liberty, for the own
er was liberated, freed from himself.
On the day when Sambo could go up
to his former master and ask for
wages for his work, on that daj' was
his old owner liberated from dishonor.
Jesus, son of Joseph, the carpenter,
and of God, was a laborer. Ho was
not one who wquld live on his father's
monej' and dwell In Idleness.
THE HALL OP FAME.
"We hear a good deal about tho
Hall of Fame. Well, tomorrow the
republic will unite In honoring one
who has a right In tho Hall of Fame.
Ills name Is Labor, King Work; King
only In America, where he Is raised on
high.
"A modern author In a novel makes
tho statement that "only In America
Is labor so theoreticallj' admired and
practically despised by the snob." T?ut
it is only the American snob. Tho
country admires and loves labor. And
now let us do our utmost to put the
laurel wreath on the brow of labor,
not for the day only, but forever."
BELIEVES IN THE GOLDEN RULE
Address of Rev. M. L. Firor on the
Strike Question.
Rev. M. L. Firor, In his sermon at
tho Calvary Reformed church yester
day morning, spoke about the strikes,
which are at present threatening the
mine operators of tho valley, and
spoke about "Genuine Christianity."
"The Golden Rule," said Rev. Firor,
"Is Illustrated by the Master's own life
and deeds, and nn application of tho
rule should be made In the existing
state of affairs. The miners havo
stated their grievances, and until It is
proved that they are overdrawn, they
certainly nre grievances. The opera
tors should strive to put themselves In
the miners' places, and look at the
affair from their standpoint.
"These are no tempoarry grievances,
but grow out of the conviction of the
laborers that they are the cause of
capital and thej' are not getting their
proper share.
"Unless Capital, which never should
oppress labor, takes heed, there will
be a storm, as terrible In Its effects as
the storm which drenched France with
blood. This Is shown In the preva
lence of mob rule.
"Hut before the miners strike, thej'
should consider. Thej should consider
all the privations and troubles which
their families must undergo, during Its
progress. And the operators should
consider, also. Consider that the
miners nre part of the concern.
"A conference should be held, at
which both parties would give their
own sides of the case, and then an
amicable middle agreement reached."

BRIEF MENTION OF
MEN OF THE HOUR
REV. N. F. STAHL, FORMERLY
CHAPLAIN OF THIRTEENTH.
Though No Longer a Resident of
Thl3 City, He Continues a Scran
tonlan In Heart Thomas E.
Clarke, tho Now Superintendent of
tho V., L. nnd W. Company.
Judge Howe la Going to Attend
the Big Pow Wow of tho Red Men.
Desk Sergeant Bob Deiter.
Rev. N. F. Stnhl, ot Delaware City,
Del., who has been spending n part
of tho summer In this city, where he
served for many years as pastor of
the Green Ridge Presbyterian church,
Is at heart a Scrantonlan, no matter
what city may claim him as n resi
dent. Tho most vigorous years of his
life were spent here, his closest friends
ate Scrnntonlnns, and his acquaint
anceship in this city nnd vicinity Is
ns large probably as that of any man
who over made It his home.
As n pa3tor of a large rsjid Influen
tial church, and a leader In many of
tho best of the good movements of a
public nature, he came to be widely
and' prominently known, and then a3
chaplain of tho Thirteenth regiment
at tho time when that post meant
something more than an occasional
ride In a parade, ho extended his ac
quaintanceship Into overy fnmlly that
had a member or friends with the sol
diers and that means a very largo
number of local families. All of tho
thousand or moro boys who went out
with, the regiment camo to be per
sonal friends of tho chaplain and to
know him was to revere him. He
made It a point to get Into close touch
with the men nnd his chief means of
attaining this end wa3 to do some
kindness for them. In this way, the
chaplain came to figure very exten
sively In tho boys' letters to home,
and thus he came to be known In
deeds ns well as name In hundreds of
households.
It Is to be regretted that falling
health compelled Mr, Stahl to relin
quish his Scranton charge to firstl
rest and then take up less exacting
labors, but he has recuperated won
derfully In the last few years, and
may beforo long take up larger re
sponsibilities. When ho does, It Is
to be hoped he will find himself lo
cated In Scranton.
Thomas E. Clarke, the new general
superintendent of tho Lackawanna
railroad, has been with the company
less than three weeks and during that
time ho has witnessed several Import
ant changes in the working force of
the road. Tho day he reached Scran
ton, Division Superintendent A. C.
Salisbury retired, and tho next day
Tralnmnster F. P. Hamilton resigned.
Then followed the retirement of
George E. Stoddard, chief clerk to Su
perintendent Salisbury.
Hamilton's place was filled by the
appointment of E. M. Rlne. Then fol
loweel the selection of D. O. Halm to
succeed Stoddard, and finally E. E.
VIcUer was selected to fill the va
cancy as chief dispatcher, caused by
nine's promotion. Just nt a time
when Superintendent Clarke and his
comparatively new fotce were be
ginning to know each other, and get
the run of the division superinten
dent's oillce, E. G. Russell retired from
tho head of the arlous departments.
The return of Mr. Salisbury will
probably cause additional changes.
Thus far, Superintendent Clarke has
proven himself a careful, palntaklng
and amiable official. He is easy to
approach, full of business, gentleman
ly in his deportment, truthful and
popular with the employes of the
company. Since ho Issued a pe-sonal
invitation to the men to visit him
at his oillce inJ b-?jme acquainted,
a large number have compiled with
the request, and have gone awuy well
pleased with their reception.
It is rather early to ptPdict for Mr.
Clarke a successful administration ot
the ofllce of gener.il superintendent of
such nn important railroad, but If his
past record can be taken as an evi
dence of his ability, then It Is safe to
say that he will prove tho right man
in the right plnce.
Alderman John T. Howe Is a man
of many characteristics, but If on?
started to seek out his hobby he would
needs confine himself to a picking be
tween the Grnnd Army and the Red
Men. The Judge Is very enthusiastic
about both these, and quite as en
thusiastic about ono as the other. Very
few reunions, banquets or like galhci
ings of the old soldiers take place any
where In this region without John T.
Howe's attendance, and if the Red
Men have any doings anywhere within
reasonable distance, the alderman 13
a mighty uneasy man If he can't get
there.
He expects to be very much In his
glory next week for he Is scheduled
to attend tho Great council of tho Im
proved Order of Red Men, which opens
one week fiom tomorrow In Milwau
kee, Wis., to continue about a week.
Pennsylvania has eight representa
tives In tho great council and Alder
man Howe Is one of them. It Is ono
of the most Important ofllces within
the gift of the order and to bo chosen
to it Is regatded as a signal honor.
The duties of a sergeant of tho
pollco are not of a kind conducive to
sluggishness or ones which In most
cases would tend to lead to avoirdu
pois and general freedom from caro
and anxiety. To most persons, thn
Idea of tho desk sergeant Is a grim,
forbidding-looking personage, much
bedecked with brass buttons, with
lines of care on his brow and mouth
constantly puckered, while reflecting
on the more villainous side of human
nature.
To all such deluded Individuals, n
visit to the central police station and
big, Jovial, good-natured Sergeant
Dob Deiter Is a revelation Indeed. Ser
geant DJeter Is a senior sergeant, and
In addition to being ono of the most
reliable and shrewdest members of tho
force, Is one of the biggest and most
powerful. The arduous duties of desk
sergennt are ably attended to by him,
nnd In their execution he never falls
to give satisfaction.
He Is one of the most athletically In
clined offlcers of the police In the city,
nnd whether It be base ball or boxing,
foot ball or cycling, is equally at
home. Whllo on his recent vacation
he witnessed the big Fitzslmmons
Ruhlln fight, nnd since then has been
more than ever nn ardent follower of
Lanky Rob,
Sergeant Deiter can play baso ball
himself, and In days of yoro pitched
games for the Policemen's nine, which
