THE SCTUNTON TRIBrNia-SATritDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1000. 11' Religious.... t The l'rosbyterlnn ministers nnd ci ders of the Lackawanna Presbytery will hold u retreat at Lake Winoln on Oct. 2, 3. 4 and G. It will be a totrent, not a conference, similar to those held with eucli marked spiritual results by the Presbytery of New York. They will not meet to discuss plans nnd methods of work, but to earnestly sup plicate Ood for Ills blessing. The ob ject of the meeting Is prayer for themselves, for their chinches, for the unconveited In their parlshs, for tin world. The committee has secured Robert K. Specr to tako charge and to be the principal speaker. Mr. Speer I not only one of the secretaries of th rresbyterlan Uoaid of Foreign Ml nlons, but Is wldelv known ns an earnest and spiritual speaker, no one being- heard at Northflelil with greater pleasure than he. Speaking at u simi lar retreat of the Westminster Pres bytery last spring, his addresses proved exceedingly helpful to all who heard them. The time of the letreat Is to be from Tuesday evening, Oct. 2, to Fri day noon, Oct. 5, at Fronr's hotel, Lake Winola. "The Drummer Evangelist," Rev. W. II. "Williams, returned yesterday from Susquehanna county, where he has been agitating against the saloon. Mr. Williams said: "I am a carlrage black smith by trade and know from yenrs of actual experience what It Is to come In actual contact with smoke and dust'. As a blacksmith during my young man hood I went from place to place work ing at my trade. I would work awhile then draw my pay, send part of It to my wife nnd children just as many of these minors have done. Saturday night nnd Sunday would find me diink Inir with my shon mates, not as a drunkard, but through that social cus tom of the saloon. It would be a great deal more sensible, when one working man says to another, 'What will you have?' to reply 'Why I will take a sack of flour or a pair of shoes for my wife.' "I have learned since then that the saloon Is the worklngman's most bitter enemy. The saloon Is the breeding place for most of his troubles. If It were not for the saloon I think It pos sible for at least 75 per cent, of the worklngmen to own their own homes. It has cost the workman his homo In all that the word home Implies to sus tain the saloons of today." Bishop Tt. Dubs, of Chicago, preached a masterly sermon In ZIon United Kvangellcal church Thursday evening. The bishop's theme was "The Spiritual Life; Its Origin; Abundance, and Out flowing Forces." His congregation lis tened with rapt attention to the Im portant truths which fell from the lips of the remarkable pulpit orator. He has promised a future visit to our city; which will afford others an opportunity to hear him. The bishop is a ripe scholar and a forceful and graceful speaker.

On Sunday evening observant Jews, throughout the universe will usher In the year GG51, which tradition has as signed to be the anniversary of the mention of the world, Unlike other denominations, the Jew devotes the first day of the religious year In prayer and song. Judaism has always made life optimistic and has laid stress on the freeiuent Ulbllcal inlunctlon "Thou shall tejolce before the Lord". It Is therefore but flttlnir that on this day that Israel assembles en masse In their tespectlve syna gogues or temples and there offer up thanksgiving to Him that all llesh must Uow and there drink the draught of religion to quench the thirst of the human soul. lllblical critics may find objection In placing the creation of the cosmos but little more than Ave thousand ycais, but Jewish tradition Is Justified In counting the ago of the universe from the birth of monotheism. With the in fusion of the divine spark in man kind, the world actually came Into ex istence, for vvhut would the world be without religion but a dark mass, like a long weary night with nothing to re lieve Its monotony. Therefore it was religion alone that made the wotld what It Is. It was the uplifting of hu manity towards God that urges man kind to build up a civilization, yes, like a song In the long dreary night, so Is religion to the human racp. Judaism may therefore claim totbe a universal religion. It does not base Its birth upon the founder of any sect, like Christianity, Mohammedlsm or Uuddahlsm, but matks Its new year from the birth of the divine spatk In mankind. No leader In Israel, not even Abraham or Moses, Is made the foterunner of Judaism, but humanity In its relation to godliness Is manifest ed In the celebration of the "Hebrew New Year." Each new year that the Jew observes he tenews the covenant made on Moriah that Israel Is to cany the torch of religion to mankind. When civilization was yet In Its Infancy, It wus the Jewish prophets of old that dieamt of the equality of mankind and of human brotherhood. It was Isaiah that first denounced the atrocities of war and longed for an era when the world will be In a peaceful state. Above all In the midst of darkness and su perstition in the presence ot barbar ians the author of Genesis cries out, "Down with idolatory! away with the worship of Idols! Let there be light, and there was light." This gave birth to Judaism and from the lemoval ot the darkness off the face of the earth Israel became a nation of priests, not a race of peculiar manners, but a people that have a common mission to the world in bringing light to the human i-oul, In this age of confusion, we hear the common word used on platform and pulpits. Christian civilization. Christ ian indeed! When every Injunction laid down in the new testament has been taught and practiced for nearly a Sunday School Lesson for September 23. The OCCASION" Luke records the events of our present leson as having occiurcd in Galilee xe'vcral months pnor to our I.oid's last pass over. Matthew (eh. xxlx: 4.1-31,) relates ub antlally the same as transpiring on the- Mount of Olives, shortly befoie the crucifixion. Thin discrepancy has been vuilously explained. Some o-i'it that thlx is only proof that the evan gelists did not pur.-ue- a strictly chronological urder; that each nnanged hii material as best suited the general purpose of his compcislllon. The inciter number nf tcholars, aiming them Tisc he rdorf, Andiews, Ilroadus, hold that .Tcmis (iceiucnlly repeated His teachings, taking oeca luii of dllfeient circumstances to render llio sense ihore apparent or to deepen the impression, and that, aceoidlngly, l,uc iclates the culler and Mitthevv the later deliveiy of this passage. The case of the model prajer Is cited aa u simi lar in-tame of such rc-ctltion (Matt, vl: U it; l.nkc xl: 1-13.) having been delivered on the Mount and again lis request. Accepting this view as most honorable to the Nw Testament writers, our lesson acquires iucieased vntue, as cont lining the twice-told, and, therefore, more important, Instruction of Jesus to His disciples. (In. 3xvl: 10.) 'I hey were dull pupils, slow tu bain (leilin xvi. VJ,i but He was a patient and apt teacher SERVANTS -Virions titk'? aie applied In Scripture to the followers of Jesus, cacti title expressing some relation, quality op duty. The are called disciples tJnhn xll: 31,) because they are expected to learn; believers (Acts v: 11,) because they inii.t accept what is taugh ; friends (John xv : 14,1 because they must bo personally attached to Jesus; saints (Romans 1. 7,) because they must lead holy lives. In our lesson Jesus emplnva the term servants to indi cate that they were to bo obedient to Him. In a short time he would depart ou. of the world (John xvi: 5), leaving them in charge of the church, to act in all thigs according to His di icctions. To nuke them understand something of the solemnity of the obligation thus imposed upon them, lie Illustrates by tho practices com mon in that diy among worldly masters and servants. Tills He docs first under the aspect of a faithful servant and his reward, and then of tho unfaithful servant and the punishment. Such was the conditien ot society at the time that his remarks wero easily undcrfUiod, and, there foie, the more completely sWtlng forth the points in hand. No method could have been employed more surelv or effectively to Impress upon their minds the nature of the relation which they sustained to 111m and to Ills cause, and the duty arising nut e.f that relation. It was, nioreover, an excellent sequel to what He had Just said concerning their vvordldly affairs. (Verses 22 and 35 ) WATCII(N"G Jesus eniplojs a single word, watching, to indicate the character and con duet of a faithful servart, the pattern of a faithful disciple. That watching should be of two kinds! tint, for "the return of their Lord," (verse 30) that Ho may no properly lecelved; and, second, for the proleetlon of the property of their Loid in His absence, that He might suffer no los. This witching waa the more ncressarv because of the item of uncertainty, No one knew what moment Jesus would return. He kept that matter a profound seciet, Neither could anyone predict when some great Interest In tli causo of Christ would be put In jeopar dy. Constant vigilance was, therefore, required in the servant. If, for a single day, he should be off guard, he would prove himself recreant to his high trust. (Kick. lilt 17.) The spirit of aVTsolute loyalty to bis Master would lead to the utmost diligcn:o am) painstaking. It was in this way that Jesus sought to convince the ells clples that eveiy portion of their natural llv., and every power which they possessed, must be thousand years, before the birth ot its founder. The torch of enlighten ment that the Jew carries today, still somewhat dazzles the eyes of the un civilized nations, In spite of their new testament Injunctions. Rut what was tho reward of the Jew for carrying the message to the world? Like the scape gout that the ancient priest Rent away with the sins of the people, so was the Jow made the scape goat of the na tions. Debarred from all manner of trade nnd profession, schools were closed be fore him, nnd when the Jew wns seen before the world lacking In modern culture, he wns dubbed that his Ignor ance was due to him being a Jew. Burely Indeed he wns made n scape goat to bear the sins of .the nation that made him what he Is. If evidence was wanting to contirm this asser tion one needs but witness the state of affairs In Continental rhirope. There tho Jew Is ousted from every source of honest callings, yet he Is blnmed be cause he Is a Jew. YesI like Daniel ot old, the modern Jew Is blamed if the ship of state Is In danger and he Is at once cast Into the depths of the sea, because he has courage to declare that he Is a Hebrew. It will be asked why need the Jew suffer when he can assimilate and be come u patt and parcel of the world at large? The observance of the new year which commemorates the birth of religion Is the answer that the Jew can give to tho world. The Jew has no need for assimilation because Judaism stands for what Is the highest pinnacle In civilization, but he must stand forth year by year to bear witness tho existence of God. and as long as the world needs the awakening of the divine spark In man's breast It will behoove upon the Jews to deliver God's message, and by their very lives and existence make mani fest that Israel's Inheiltance Is the gift of faith. - What tho Jew needs to make known to the world Is, that he Is not a stage character. Judaism Is Independent of nationalism and the so-called national traits that the antl Semites are ptone to assert Is not Judaism, but borrowed plumes from the surrounding people. Judaism stands for Idealism and a factor In the world of religion. If the world ridicules the Jew It does not ridicule the person, but the religion It self, nnd so long as the world cannot tolerate differences of faith the Jew must trudge on weailly, ever singing the words of the Psalmist, "I'ach day God will command Ills Loving kind ness, and each night will His song be with us, our whole life shall bo a prayer unto God. His song Is with me at night." Yes! It Is God's song that led the Jew through the wilderness of superstition, and after a ipse of cen turies of barbatlsm, with the dawn ot civilization, the Jew must continue bearing the torch of religion to light the way until the sun of righteousness spreads through tho length and breadth of the universe. It may be long before the world will bask In the light of righteousness, but until It does Israel will march forward say ing; "Oh! house of Jacob, come, let us go up unto the light of the Lord." Thanks to the Anglo-Saxon race, the Jew can begin his mission first In the Ihiglish speaking countries. Here alone he has become interwoven with the nation, thus proving to the world that tho Jew Is not elumorlug for na tionalism, but righteousness. Loyal as he Is to the country of his birth he can cling tenaciously to the teachings of Judaism for Judaism means every thing that makes towards good citizen ship. The New Year that marks the Jew- Duty of Watchfulness Luke xii, 35-46. wholly consecrated to Him and Ills caiws He must be supreme ancl thev must be subject to Him. (I Chron. xxl: 5 ) IIONORED-Siieli a life would not be attrac tive to the ate-ijuu man. Man would reject it as altogether service. Very few are willing to subiirdliute their welfare to tin1 interests of the cause e.f Cluit. It vva, thercloie, uccear.v to offer some Incentive to the dl-ciples that lhy might become servants, and as .ueii be faith ful. In order to do this Jens did but pie sent any alleviating circumstances, designed to ren der their service more agreeable. On other oe caslons (Matt, .x- SI.) He pietuicd the liird-hlps which they must enduie for His sake (vets l: 10), and He did net attempt tu state the ci-e In a more inviting manner. Hut He j-suicl them that on His return, no nutter wln-n it might be, thev would le revvaich-d They must look avva.v finm the preent to the futuie (lleb. xi: 0,) thercbv cultivating pallene-p, hope and faith. Their reward would bo the honor which He Himself would bestow. (Jchn li: 20.) To ronvey some faint conception of ihat honor, lie likens It imtn the ir-oti.il service, which an earthly lord might lender to his faithful ser vanta (verso ,'.7). It is evident that the apostles regarded this promise of Jesus (I Peter v: 4.) by Hie manner in which they devoted themselves o Him, enduring hardships Joful! and looking forward Willi hope. (II Tim. Iv: fi-fi.) REDY Having dci-crihod a faithful servant Jesus exhorts or commands: "he e ready." lie would have them In such a state of mind every day and every hour, that they would be able to meet any event or discharge any duty as Ills ministers. If, all unawares, even as a thief In the night (I '1 liens, v: 2,) He were to come end summon them away from their places, of labor, they must be prepared to go. If the Lord should suddenly descend with all Ills holv ongels (Matt, xvv: 31.) to bring the present dispensation to an end and to usher in a new cider, they must in like manner welcome II. s appearing and icjolce In all His doing, (ltev. xxli: 20.) Or, If tlnouuh weary da of earnest and anxious waiting, the s'rvant should aec no slicn-s of a new era or n brljliter day he must still stand In hi lot and place (Dan. nil: 13,), performing duty, tnistlng the promise (11 peter 111:11), ready at all times to be and do, or not to do, when and v.-here, only as the Master shall dlrcer. What a word Is this let fall into the rellgluui thought of men, that they must no longer liva unto themselves, but ui.to Him whoso they are.

Did it apply only to the disciples who then heard It, or to all disciples? I) d Jesus seek sucli service during 'he apostolic period, or through all tho subsequent hlstoiy of the Christian church? The motive of the question does not appear, Peter may have been simply curious as he was on another occasion. (John xxli 2.'.) He may have thought it tin plied a distinction or Imposed a peculiar bur den upon tlm apostles, which they ought to understand, and ho may have supposed it In volved the structure and nature of the whole Christian svstem. Important as the question i,as, Jesus did not answer It directly. II rati er reatfumed and expanded what He had already said, (Verses 40 to 4.) This He did, however. In audi a, way u to leave the Impres sion that His instruction waa of universal ap plication. Moreover, lie Introduces another as pect of service (ho care which a steward ought to give to a household representing tho nuiture of souls (I Peter V! 2.) which Is committed to tho ministry (John xxit 10,) and declares that as n religious bed dOtT, (I.

From Pearson's Magatlne. Automatic foghorns operated by the motion of the sea have recently been Installed oft the coast of Spain. Tho rise and fall of the buoy sets a pump at work which at every stroke forces a supply of nlr Into nn air chamber. A small engine liberates the nlr In regular quantities and allows It to pass upwards to the foghorn which produces the blast. The number and length ot the blasts may be regulated as desired. F.ach blast contains one or more notes, a long and a short one or any other combination to make it distinctive and easily recognizable. . Supposing a storm rage, the foghorn will still sound the same steady blast that It produces in a calm sea, for tho extra power ob tained from the waves Is allowed to run to waste by means of nn escape vulve. CULINARY ADVICE. Always have lobster sauce with salmon, And put mint sauce your roasted lamb on. Veal cutlets dip in egg and bread crumb; Fry till you see a brownish red come. Orate Crujere cheese on macaroni: Make the top crisp, but not too bony. In venison gravv', currant jelly; Mix with old puit-see Francatelll. In dressing salad mind this law: With two hard j-olkj use one that's raw. Roast veal with rich stock gravy serve, And pickled mushrooms, too, observe. Roast polk sans apple sauce, past doubt, Is Hamlet with the Prince left out. Your mutton chops with paper cover, And make them amber brown ail over, llroil lightly jour beefsteak to fry It Argues contempt of Christian diet. Kidneys a fine flavor gain Uy stewing them in good champagne. Buy stall-fed pigeons. When J'ou've. got them, 1 ho way too cook them U to pot them. Wood gioit'o are dry when giunps have marred 'em; Uefore )un roast 'cm alvvajs lard' em. It gives true epicures the vapors To see boiled mutton minus capers. Dotted tuikey gourmands know, of course, Is exquisite with celery sauce. Tho cook deserves a i.earty ending Who serves loast fowl with tasteless stuffing. Smelts require egg and biscuit po-vder. Don't put fat pork In your tlam chowder. Kgg sauce few make It right, alas! Is good with blue 11th or witli bass. Nice ojsler sauce gives rest to cod, A rlsh, when fresh, to feast a god! Shad, stuffed and baked. Is most delicious. It would have electrified Apieius. Roasted in paste, a haunch of mutton Might make ascetics play the glutton.

(II Peler I: 11.,) FAITHLESS Jesus did not expect that eve v man who entered His service would be faithful. He knew to the eontrar, and predicted the downfall of ono He had chosen. (John vl: C4 ) Many men cannot appreciate a promised leward. Indeed, the very petition of a minister home times proves a snaie- and leads to his tuln. Theie are emoluments of otllre' in which thev may find much satisfaction, and a ceitalu amount of autho-lty is committed to them which may be- exercised with pride and severity. (Matthew- xxlii: 10.) Jesus knew the weakness and perversity of man, and foresaw what has caused much trouble in all parts of the church from thai day to tho present. In a graphic manner He Illustrate this form of ministerial Infidelity by a servant, who, forgetting his dut.v, becomes gluttonous and Intemperate In his habit ami abusive- in his treatment of las fellows, thereby usurping the master's pieiogatlves ancl misus ing the Master's gifts. (I Peter v: 3.) When the- minister becomes an ill tempered and t.v rannical lure, and the people the victims ot his ambition and lust, nothing remains of the Christly spirit in him, and the church will be wasted and spoiled. (Lam. Iv: 13-14 ) PI'NIHE1)-Such a bleach of ministerial trust will be met with sure and seveie punish ment, xs Jesus declares. That punishment will not be immediate. It is one of the mterlom features of the government of God that evil doers aro allowed to continue- their wicked ca reer for a time (Ercl, vill: 11), and that they arc not alvva)s excluded from the chinch which Is devoted to the salvation ot men. (Matt, xlll: 30.) Rut Justice will some day be meted out. Jesus portravg under three patticulan the fale ot these unfaithful ministers first, they will be "cut asunder," removed from their office, which they have disgraced (Rev. II: 6); second, they will be chastised for disobedience by an out raged and offended Master, receiving few or many stripes according to their deserts; and, third, they will be assigned their portion with unbelievers (Acts i: 2.5,) to which class they really belong, No one will consider this penal ty seveie after me assuring the gravity of the offense. The minister occupies the most exalt ed position. (Matt, xix: 2S.) It is for him to do what will bring glory to God and unspeak able good to v men. (Dek. xxxill: 7-8.) Ills character and conduct involve not only the destiny of individual but the good order or so ciety ami tho stability of nations, REFLECTIOSS-It Is evident that in this pas sage Jesus sought primarily to Instruct and warn the twelve, and through them all who should afterward be Inducted Into the sacred office, lie Intended Ills kingdom to bo estab lished In the earth through the faithful, self sacrificing efforts of holy men (Luke, xxli, 29). Hut, though He constituted a class (John, xv, 10) and doubtless intended to perpetrate a tlass of men as ministers In holy things (1 Cor. xll, 2S) It Is not safe to assume that any of the followers of Christ are wholly released from ser vice. The whole spirit of the gospel Imposes duty upon every recipient of good (Matt, x, 8). The very law of spiritual life and growth neces sitate activity of usefulness (Matt, xxr, 23-30), and the lovo which Is the essence o true disciple, ship (Matt, xxil, 87-39), will prompt one to labor (John, HI, 17) for the person upon whom affection Is bestowed, It follows, therefore, that all believers are called to faithfulness In meet ing obligations in their several places, ever obedient unto Jesus Christ as their only master (John, xv, II), expecting that, though now they suffer loss, they shall at the end receive at Ills hands an ample return (11 Tim., iv, 7-S), BEECHAM'S For all Bilious and Norvous Disorders?

From tho Chicago Times Herald. In tho mikado's klntrilom tu the noitli part of tho price they pay for the benefits and advantages of civiliza tion Is a constantly increasing , and plebeian taste for beer. 'Whlslsy, rum, gin and like beverages they care Httls for. A very good Illustration of th difference between the way the Chinese and the Japanese ate accepting ror elun Ideas is found In this fact, and It is emphasized when one teallzes that the little brown man Is not content to take direct what foreigners have brought him, but has started out to make his beer for himself. And the old romantic gloiles that cling to the tea gardens of Jupan ate engaged In a serious struggle for popular favor with the newfangled "beer groves" thnt are springing up by dozens and Invading the very localities where tea litis reigned supreme for centuries. Two miles out of the City of Kobe, along a smooth road that forms prob ably the most beautiful Jinricksha run In Japan, you reach one of these beer groves, the first that was established In the country- The sutroundlng dis trict consists of a picturesque suc cession of native villas and gardens and has long been a favorite visiting place for tourists on account of Its possession of a picturesque watetftll and two of the largest teahouses In that part of Japan. Immediately across the road from the entrance of one of these teahouses, and 100 yards from the waterfall, Is the "home of the foaming class," as they call It. A signboard over a gate skillfully made ot gnailed trunks of tret's bears the following Inset iptlon: "To Kngllsh and generally foreign: The beer of this establishment Is made with most purest spring waters that flow. It will be satisfied to the tastes In all respect, and our proprietors guarantee politeness to each every one. Inside within we present sainules of this purest truth, and can he tested all times." The Intet lor. being Japanese', was, of course, spotlessly clean, and was beau tiful with dozens of artistic) lltt'e touches ko characteristic of everything that these quaint people do. Take nn old-fashioned German beer garden, strip It of everything but the open-air Idea and Its little tables, and then fill up the whole space with graceful ar bors covered with clematis, paths of neat matting running In all direction" over the ground, cunning colored lan terns hanging from every trellis cor ner, and In place of bulky white bosomed waiters with heavy tread and wilted collars Imagine black-eyed, de mute little women vlad In tho bright est, colored kommonos ever printed In the Yamatata factories and you have some Iden of a Japanese beer gat den. Hack of a lovelv cluster of idagua creepets that coveied tho fatther end of the trellis where the waitresses of the resoit disappeared every few mo ments to (111 their orders we could see a small shed almost hidden In Its turn with great bunches of wisteria. Here they kept the barrels, old Amontillado sherry casks doing new duty far away from their native Kurope. In little openings through the ttellls you could catch glimpses of the foothills In tho background looking so close In the wonderfully clear air that they seemed to be only a few yards from the tablex. "What will you have largest or small glasses? No difference in the price." One of the two partners of tho es tablishment asked us this, while tho other stood smiling Just behind him. Half of the fun In visiting a strange land is lost It you don't "take a chance" once In a while, "We ordered the largest. "When they came, served on a lacquered tray by one of the bar maids, or tather gardenmalds of this ethereallzed saloon, we found that they xvere not glasses at all, but large blue and white bowls on tho breakfast mush order, but with handles on both sides. And the beer Itself ptovejl rather a sui prise, too. It looked like the palest kind ot lager, and the taste reminded one dimly, very dimly, of extiemely flat ale. Truly these enterprising propilutois might advertise, "Not a headache In a barrel." Strength it had none, and what It lacked In that essential It made up In sugar and water. The Japanese are not an Intemperate people, but If any of them ever get u desire to stray from the straight path they must have an Interesting time trying to accom plish their aim by patronizing homo Industry.
