Mayor Molr delivered a helpful ad
dress iilonrr the line of Christian duty.
Itov. J. 11. Sweet presided and prayer
was ' offered by President Vorlhup.
Special music wnu rendered, a houk
servic.j waH enjoyed, and Will lintterly
rendered a violin nolo.
The subject assigned to hl-i lionnr
was "Are Wn DoltiK Our Bust?" In
opening his talk, the mayor took oc
casion to apologize to his hearers for
being Homowhat out of place, but
before he hud concluded his remarks
!t was apparent to all who heard him
that he is a. well-versed Biblical stu
ilent and is as much at home in the
church as in the executive chamber.
"Th') air is charged with duty tit
this time," said tho mayor, "and In
tho present campaign of national and
loral importance the Christian who
docs not exercise the right of fran
chise is neglecting his duty as a Chris,
tlan. The Lord has done more for
America than any other country or
people, for which wo all feel grateful,
and the sun docs not shin? or. a more
favored land..
"I have heard Bo-called Christian
nsxert that they would not go to the
polls, because they imagine the elec
tions are conducted by unreliable men,
but I say If America will bo what it
might 1o.be, they will do what is ex
pected of them, their duty to their
country and themselves. The bless
ings that result from Christian duty
lire brought about by personal fraeri
lice. "I am afraid we nrt not all doing
our duty. Christian people, no doubt,
like every body else, need an awaken
iujr every now and then, and we are
to blame if we don't do (air duty.
".There would be no necessity for chur
ches if we would all do our religious
duty. We make our lives miserable
liy our own conduct, and wo must not
lorget tyir duty.

Peter Hobday, a son of J. B. Hob

shot on Saturday uftornoon while
hunting In Pike county. Mr. Hobduy,
In company with Ralph AVatrous, also
of this borough, wns at a point known
as Knob Hill, which Is a desolate
country, and several miles from any
settlements.
He suddenly fell nnd his companions
realized that he had been shot. He
found that a bullet, evidently one of
the high-power modern cartridges, had
struck Hobday in tho ankle, making
a serious wound. With assistance the
injured man slowly and painfully
made his way three miles and was
brought to Scrnnton Saturday night,
being taken directly to tho Moses
Taylor hospital.
Yesterduy the surgeons probed for
the ball, but were unable to Hud It,
It having taken an upward course uf
tcr penetrating some distance. An
other attempt will be made today,
which, it Is hoped, will be successful.
AVho flred the shot that wounded
Hobday Is unknown. Some of the ri
des using the class of bullets such us
struck him carry several thousand
yards and the person with the gun
was probably a long way off and prob
ably does not yet know the result of
his shot.
