BISHOP TALBOT VISITSTHE CITY HE PREACHED THREE SERMONS YESTERDAY. In the Morning He Confirmed a Class at St. Luke's Church and in the Afternoon Spoke at a Special Ser vice in St. David's Church Last Evening in the Church of the Good Shepherd He Gave an Eloquent Dissertation on Peter's Epistle Con cerning Day of Judgment. lllght Hev. Bishop Ethelbert Talbot, of tlie Protestant Episcopal diocese of Central Pennsylvania, visited this city yesterday and conducted services at three of tho city churches. In the morning he was nt St. Luke's church, where he administered tho rite of continuation to a special class of seven members, afterwards prcach'ng an eloquent sermon, bnslng his rs murks upon the text found In Romans xlv, 12: "So that every one of us shall give nccount of himself to God." In the afternoon he visits I St, Da vid's church, In West Scranton, where n special service was conducted. He delivered a brief sermon upon the par able ot the wise and foolish virgins, afterwards holding nn Informal recep Hon to 'he members ot the congrega tion. The bishop wns In Green Ridge In tho evening ns the guest of the congrega tion of the Church of the GocJ Shep herd. He delivered one of his char acteristically vigorous and thoughtful sermons, taking as his text II Peter, III:1: "And saying, where Is the pro mise Of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep ull things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation." BISHOP'S SERMON. The bishop in his opening remarks stated that the words of the text were not the words of Peter, but the words of the unbelievers and the wicked, who scoffed at the idea of Christ com ing back again to judge the quick r.nj the dead, and who demanded that llm apostle give them proof of the promise of His coming. "In this season of advent which be gins today," said he, "we look forward rather than backward. During tne rest of the year we look back at the various phases of Christ's life. We think of His birth in the lowlv stable at Bethlehem; we think of His young boyhood spent in Nazareth; we think of His glorious manhood when He astonished men with His wonderful powers; we think of Him as He hung upon tho cross of shame at Caivn.-y, and we think of His triumphant -rising from the grave. "But in advent we look forwarl to another day; we are bidden to antici pate the great day of judgment; tho day on which the majesty and un speakable power of the Lord of Hosts will be visible to all men and when God will be in the thought and mind of the whole creation." The bishop at this point explained how impatient the early Christians were to see Christ again and how many of them believed when they went, to bed at night that before the dawn of day Gabriel's horn might be heard calling the wicked to judgment and U13 good to their reward. WERE IMPATIENT. ' Tney were Impatient to see the Son of God again," he said. "This is characteristic of Christians in our own day and generation, who of ten became imiiatient with God be cause they found it hard to reconcile many things with the divine law. "How does Peter answer those scof fers who taunted the early Chrlst'.un'j by asking them why Christ did not come again? He tells thein to wait and states that the element of human time does not enter into the Divine consciousness. He tells them th.it tho uniformity of nature has gone on since the creation of tho world and asl-s thfm if they do not re'i.embev w.ii.'ii God suspended the laws of nature nl the time of the deluge. "He tells them that the tatth will not be finally destroyed by water, but by fire, and who shall say he was not right? Science tells us that the inter ior of the earth Is a mass of fire on-i tout we are but living on a crust formed on the outside. What is there incredible in the thought that some day in the fullness of tlmo Go.' shall let this lire penetrate the crus: and consume the inhabited part of the globe? "He tells them that they make a mistake In measuring God's intelli gence by their own and points out that one thousand years may oe us one to him. God lives not In tho past or in the future, He lives In the eternal present. Another argument which Pe ter uses Is that God has another mo th e and that that motive Is love. He says that God wishes none to perish, but desires all to be saved and that Ho may not come till all the world has learned to love Him, "God Is coming all the time. The days and hours are hastening and Pe ter bids us to be prepared. He says all must be patient, good and full of abiding faith. He tells us to beware; to keep awake; to keep our vision clear, and to keep our lamps burning. These arguments which Peter uses were Inspired by the Holy Spirit. They are grand, unanswerable and piactlcal, HE WILL COME AGAIN. The absorbing fact that the Son of God will" come again to judgo tho world should till every human heart. Wherever we shall be laid to sleep, there shall we rise. There are many things In this life which are uncertain. W' know nothing about the mysteri ous future, but we know that God's word tells us that He will come again. "Let us then be ready In peace, In hue and in sweet abiding charity, so that when the great call comes you and I will be found watching," WILL BE KEPT A SEORET.
