Afternoon Spoke at a Special Ser

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.
