THE LISTLESS
CHRISTIAN
SERMON UPON HIS THAIXS BY
REV. J. B. DICKSON.
He Spoke Laut Night at tho First
Preabytorian Church and Told of
tho Lossons Learned from the
Story of tho Healing of tho Blind
Beggar There Are Too Many
Christians, Ho Said, Who Like the
Beggar Llo Idle and Indifferent.
Rov. Janus SUiurt Dickson, D. D.,
of I'hllndulphln, ncoiplcd the pulpit
yesterday, both innrnliiff and evening,
tit thr First I'reibyterlan church nnd
nioncheil tvr slinplo but eloquent scr-
tmimt. In tho evening ho spoke on the
llcallnc nf the lame bcgRar who had
rir years been 11hr outside tho tcmpli:
EHtcs.
Ho rcs-irlbetl the easy life which tin
tjt'RRnr had been lenillnpfot ye.irs.lyliiK
oiiluMe the beautiful Katet of the tem
ple, and nf hH Brent Joy when lie wtn
healed by the power of Christ. He
told of the eay life which the becgar
wnn plad to Rive up, even though he
realised that (luiltirj the lest of hi
yea is ho would have to earn his bread
by the sweat of his brow.
"There aie so many Chil'tiuns
around about us," said he, "who ore
much like this betrgnr was before he
was healed. Theio ate so many who
aie lying helpless at tho fciitcs of
heavfiilv bliss.
"They lie In the church of Jeus
Chi 1st on eat th, more beautiful far
than the temple mentioned In the tem
ple, with It stone after stone of elor
uos lives and uondeitu! iirhlfVi'iitciiti,
nnd Its aiches clowned with the
Kloilcs of lefoim.itlon after reforma
tion and of spliltual levivnl after
Fiililtual revival. They lie bathed In
nil thli beauty with glorious piospccts
befoie them and yet they will not
heed tho call of God and ailso and bo
thankful, as was the. beggar.
Ann vor inactivk?
"Aie ou one of these, m In oilier?
Are .sou llng Inactive and helpless In
the gateway of this beautiful temple?
Aie you ilnllv sustained by Kin I wish
ing fi lends and ptaye.l over constiutly
and do jou still lie thcic InnctlveV If
ou aie, do you not know, deep down
in your heait, that ou are llvlnc n
low -made life?
" 'Nobody expects anything of me?'
rays this soit of a Christian. 'What
dlFCas-e is it that possesses my Chils
tlan life and shrivels my soul.' is It a
woildlv atiophy or Is it the palsy of
fear feat that I am not stiong enough
and that when the call foi service
conies I will be all atremble. Is It fear
that I may be lidleuled for-cauylnc
the Mastei's message V
"'is It this, or Is it the gangiene of
and evil conscience? Is thcte not some
seuet of whli h I am ashamed, some
sin that I fear and yet secretly love.
Is it this that Is di figging me down
and closing nioie nnd mote tightly
about my Christian life?
'"I Know that I lie heie useless and
that I am not up and following the
world counseling, woild ttansformlng
Chi 1st,' this Chiistlan continues, 'but,'
says he, 'I'm partly In Christ's 'sei
vke. I'm looking on, If I am not fol
lowing.' "To this Chiistlan, theiei ionics the
message of Chilst, who promises abun
dant life to tho-e who follow the com
mandments of His Father, who makes
no (.ontiact to keep him as he Is, but
who does ofter him life and calls It a
full and sloilous salvation.
PWUlAPri HE HUSITATHS.
"Pcihaps this Chiistlan thinks what
this acceptance of Christ's lall ln
volvcs and hesitates Perhaps he Is
icslgned to his life of Christian Idle
ness and Is content to lenialn In the
c hutch, but not of It. Peihaps he
leallzes that Its acceptance btlngs with
it new lesponslbilltles and now duties
and he says doubtfully, 'Now that I
Inve lived this useless life, should I fi
nally accept the leal tall of the ically
present Phiist nnd throw off the
shackles of my bondage?'
"Dear, Idle, selilsh Christian, In the
name of Jesuajof Nazareth, who healed
the beggar at the temple gate, I ask
you and beg of you to heed Him when
He calls. Tn the name of .lesus of Na
7ucth, will you not llso and walk with
Him.
"Will you not ise up.' Is it not folly
to lie in this sort of half-life when ou
might be leaping and pralMng and
serving the Cod of all mcicy and
love?"
AT PENN AVENUE CHURCR.
Rev. Dr. B. B. Ware, of Morchant
ville, N. J., Fillod tho Pulpit.
Rev. Dr. H. B, "Waie, of Menhant
vllle, X. V., last night occupied the pul
pit at the Pcnn Avenue Baptist chinch
and pleached an lnteiestlng Feimon on
the theme, "The Magician's Wand." He
deflated that the human will Is the
powerful Imtiunient which possesses
the potent Influences of a magic wand.
"Will." said he. "Is the only truo
mugliian's wand placed in the hands of
men, and all Measures levealcd In the
voild by the eoiclse of our wills aie
made our possessions.
"The mases In I'hrlstlun lands who
lire without Clod aie so not because of
lack of Knowledge, nut lather In spite
of It. The divine promise to man Is
that 'whosoever will, may take of the
water of life.' That water is not foi
Everyone, but only for those who tie

oh! It Is stiange that the innn who is
thirsty will not partake of those water
and that the woman who Is dlng re
fuses to drink from the cup held out to
her." '
Dr. Ware dwelt at length upon this
strange perversity of human nature
which makes thoewho mot need sal
vation ttun n deaf ear to all who con
bring It to them, although It would re
quire but a ptnall cxctclse of will to fit
themselves for the teceptlon of the
word of Cod. "Universal salvation,"
said the speaker, "docs not Imply tho
salvation of everyone In the Universe,
for it Is only Individual acceptance of
tho universal salvation of Jesus Christ
which makes all men tho children uj
Cod.
"For both snlnt and sinner the water
of life flows freely, and It Is by the ex
ctclse of will that the gates arc opened
to admit It. The only way to keep the
heart full f gtaco and Joy Is to open
w-lde tht gate. and let tho water of life
(low In
"'And bow may we obtnln eternal
life?' Is tho natural question of tho
human heart. The good book sajs,
'Hoik' Whosoever will, let him take of
the water of life.' Sacrifice, pain and
soriow ate ofttlmes tho pikes we must
pay to ultimately obtain these Jos of
soul."
He traced the wondetful effects upon
nrinkliid which have been caused by
great men exerting to the utmost their
Individual wilts, and declared that It
was In evciy man's power to finally
reach the eternal heights.

RAIN, LIGHTNING, WIND
Rain Fall During the Twenty
Minutes After the Storm
Broke Was Very
Heavy.
Weatherman Clarke pays that tho
rainfall from 8 o'clock to 8.20 last night
was "exceptional and excessive, but
not phenomenal," but It Is safe to say
that the vast majority of the worthy
citizens of this city do not quite ngroe
with him, nnd will bo quite willing to
stoke their icputatlotm that It was not
only phenomenal but phenomenally
phenomenal.
ltt the twenty minutes above men
tioned no less than .91 of an Inch of
1 an fell, or 2.7.1 Inches1 per hour. Old
Inhabitants said last night that never
In the history of tho city did so much
rain fall In so short a time, nnd those
who heard, and whose memories didn't
run back quite so far, were inclined to
agice with them.
The rain wa. accompanied by a wind
that at times wan quite high, and n
wonderfully brilliant nnd awe-lnsidiinc,
dlsplny of lightning'.
It dln't begin to cloud up until after
fi o'clock, hut then It could be seen that
a storm was brewing by the Intense
humidity of tho air and by the big,
black clouds which began to sweep
fiom the western hoiizon ncioss tho
sk
Thunder, accompanied by vivid light
ning nnd n bracing bicco, began about
7.S0 o'clock and the downpour began
Just about S o'cloik. It didn't stmt In
to lain giadually, but came down all
at oni e In sheets, which weie dtiven by
the wind nnd sent whipping Into the
faicvt of the thousands who weie caught
on the stieets and into stieet cats,
which weie stalled by the lleiceness of
the stntm,
CAUC.HT AT THi: PARK.
Thcie were about 3,000 penpli at Nay
Aug paik when the stoitu bioke and
nearly all of these got a thorough
di caching, as they weie, In the major
ity of Instances, awnv nom the few
covered stiuctures of which the park
boasts. A huge number of peisoiw who
were dining on the boulovnid wete also
caught In the fury of the storm and
soaked to their skins by the ilienchliig
lain, which kept pouring, without any
intermission or let-up, for Just twenty
minutes.
As usual, the sewets In the (outial
part of the city proved Inadequate and
as a consequence sidewalks and base
ments weie Hooded. Councilman Chit
tenden's scheme for the diverting of
water from the Lackawanna avenue
sewer got a good test, nnd c-nndor com
pels the statement that it wasn't alto
gether a huge success.
When the piopositlon to erei t an ad
ditional sewer on Ilnllroad alley, to ic
llew the main swer on Lackawanna
avenue, came up In count IK, Mr. Chit
tenden fought It -vigorously, lontcndlng
that the latter -eer could be tellcved
sulllclently to prevent the Hooding of
any basements. If the sewer basin at
tho coiner of Adams and I.ai kawanna
avenues weie changed so as to dlveit
the water which inn Into the Lacka
wanna nenue sewer Into another sew ei
running down South Wnshlngtoi ave
nue. The water tunning Into the b.isln
conies fiom the tenltoiy bounded by
Adams avenue, Linden stieet, Madison
and Lackawanna avenues. Mr. Chit
tenden got a lefrolutlon thiough coun
cils ptovldlng for the change of the
basin. It Mas passed, and the bisln
was changed last week Mr. Chitten
den looked wIm nnd told bis fi lends to
wait for a good lalnstomi and thej
would see his theoiy -vlndiiatcil.
IT CAMU LAST NIUHT.
The lalnstotm came last night and
a number of basements weie Hooded
as befoie. The water blinked up In
the basement of John Lohmnu'.s hotel
and lllled It to the depth of six inches.
Theie weie four inches of water lu
the Coyne House cellar and about
thiee Inches In the cellar of Fled
Dun's place. Theie weie tlnoe Inches
of water In the Scranton House cellar
also, but this came from the alley, be
cause the basins there aie not of rulll
clent sle to carry the water away.
On Wyoming nvonue, there was
Hooded also. The water blocked up
in the Globe Warehouse basement, but
did not dnm.ise, because the linn has
elected a stone wall for piotectlon In
such an emeigency Theie weie rout
ine lies of water In the basement of the
Postal Telegtaph company's ofllco In
the Hotel Jermjn block, and Hanlej's
bake-shop, on Spruce stieet, was
flooded. Theto mut have been seiious
flooding In a numbet of other base
ments, which have pievlously been af
fected dining high lnlns, but nothing
could be learned as tho buildings wero
closed.
Mr. Chittenden was not Inclined to
give in at all last night. He said that
the rainstorm was too heavy to be a
fair test of his theoiy, and (be It whls
pei oil on the side) ho ln't ut all sine
that a Job wasn't put up on him In the
changing of that sewer basin.
MEbVIN fi:lt good.
Councilman Melvln, who has led the
fight for the sewer, was jubilant nnd
woie an expansive smile. He knew It
nil from the stait and said that Chit
tenden's theoiy and inguments weie
knocked into a cocked hat. "This ivns
a heavy rain. I'll admit," wild he, "hut
we've got to be pupaied for oti.i
heavy as well as just ordinal y lalns"
The artificial lake formed on Linden
stieet by the overflow Ing of the sewer
was the laigCFt of theso nnnunl bodies
of water over seen. It inn nil the
way from Washington to Franklin
nvenues and spread way acioss tho
sidewalks The water poured Into the
well holes In the stieet railway com
pany's car barn nnd almost got up as
high as tho floor of the Crystal n.iglne
house.
In South Scranton the seweis ptoved
to be of no more use In draining tho
Fin face than pipe steins, and as a
conscquenco muclt damnge wns done In
the wny of displacing flngstono nlde
walks. The water was ut one tlmo
three Inches deep on the sidewalks on
Plttston avenue from AMer to Beach
stieet.
Tho rnln continued at Intervals nil
night, but there was no repetition of
that furious twenty-minute downpour.

Lightning Struck in a Number
of Places and Did a Con

Damage.
Disastrous results followed In tho
wake of last night's storm. It Is Im
possible to give even an approximate
Idea of tho loss, but It will run away
up Into tho thousands.
Kami owned by Chester Atthur, of
Summit I.uke, and John nnd Jerome
I.lllbrldge, of Ulakely, wero struck by
lightning and completely destroyed.
Atthur's bain was utiuck by a bolt
about 7.30 o'clock, A bit go quanlty of

of flames.
Atthur was on the gtound floor when
the lightning sttuck, but ptovlden
tlally escaped lnjuiy. Ho was milking
a cow at the time nnd ilslng led It
from the blazing building nnd ictutn
Ing led out tho rest of his cattle, sav
ing all tho animals before tho loft fell

a ton Hie repot t, which could be heaul
for a gieat distance. Theio weie
thtee hotses in the barn, besides tho
other stock, and while the blaze was
ot conllned to the upper part of the
bam an attempt was made to save
the animals. They wete found lvlng
on tho Btotinil, either stunned or nl
leady dead fiom the shock. All ef
forts to stir them weie fruitless nnd
as the loft was giving way and the
Haines coveilng the sides of the batn,
the ntteinjit was abindoncd. The
other animals in the bain were re
moved, but a number of wagons and
fanning implements weio consumed In
the Unities. .
Within a hundred feet of tho burn
ing stiuctuio was a large barn owned
by the same man containing one bun
dled mules and foi awhile It was
feaied that th, too, vas doomed.
Tho Wilson Hoio company of I'eok

The company was successful nnd the
mule barn escaped with a slight
sent chlng of Its Ides and loof. Tho
total loss Is about $2,000.
Wind Caused a Firo.
At S.I" o'clock last night, while the

men rose In their seats nt the Collsscum
yesterday nnd cheered the sttalns of
'America' and 'God Save the Queen,
as they were thundeied out by the
famous band of the Forty-eighth
Highlanders, of Toronto. It wait the
flist appearance of the "kilties" In

a large audlenco both in tho afternoon

of John Slater and has special per
mission fiom the Hngllsh government
to make a twonty-ono-dny tour of
Anieilcn. Tho members of tho band,
foity-two In all were dtesscd in the
picturesque garb of Auld Scotia and
wete neatly nil giants of physical
sticngth.
"Chicago's Scotch blood was thrilled
and rapturous applause gieetcd the
welul strains of tjie old bagplpo and
sounds of a dozen bonis which told
the story of Scotland's national alts.
When the giant voices gave 'Away
Down South In the Land of Dixie, tho
audience 111 oso en masse nnd com
pelled tho entcitalncis tn lepcat the

claymoies, to the tune of the 'The
Highland Fling.' "

The gininkstand was lllled with people,
among whom weie a number of ladles,

so latge that at times It Interfered with
the plaj Ing.
Neither team showed very much bat
ting strength, hut all of the plajeis
tlelded well, except Gunstev, wiio has
evidently lost his cuiinng. He accepted
but two of the six chances he teceived,
but foitunately none of them cost any
tuns. Hrndley, who also made n brace
of eiroro, allowed two of the Collegia
ate's thiee runs to come In by his mis
plays. Ho plnjed n nice game, how
ever, and ni-ccptod several dlfllcult
chances. Davis' error also assisted In
