We are going out of business in this city. Our attention in the future will be given to our business in Pittston, Pa. Inasmuch as our store has
H5 been leased to others who will take possession on April 1, 1902, it is necessary to close out the entire stock of Men's Clothing before that date, not
3 a garment must remain. We offer thejatizens of Scranton and adjacent towns revelations in prices on the entire stock. Come and see how you
3 can save your money at this sale. We want to call your attention to the fact that this stock of Men's Clothing is from the manufactory of
1 The Roberts-Wicks Company, Utica, N. Y.
1 Makers of
Right here we will say: No garment is made by the R. W. Co. that they do not know to be a model of excellent workmanship. All garments
"fit" perfectly, and are made to hold their shape at all times. Good dressers all over this vast country know this celebrated make of clothing. This
is the clothing that must be sold in Scranton, Pa., before March 29, 1902. The voice of the people is an important feature in a sale of this kind.
The public has its favorites. We should be the favorites in the clothing business in this city to April 1, 1.902. We deserve to be, as we will.
For instance, we will sell
Two Hundred Suits that cost R.
$6.00 to $8.00 for
Two Hundred and Fifty Suits that cost R. W. 2
Co. from $8.50 to $10.00 for
Three Hundred Suits that cost R.
$9.00 to $13.50 for
We have got to get out of this store
this is not a "Fake" sale, but a genuine
opportunity we feel assured. Cordially

RELIGIOUS NEWS
The current number of the Northern
Christian Advocate contains an article
in "The Importance of Christian Acad
emic Kdueatiou" from which we cull
the following:
"At no period is Christian education
more important than in the period be
tween the common school and the col
legre. This is indisputably true in the
case of those students who must bo
away from homo to school. With the
authority the restraints and the fellow
ship of the home withdraw, it is very
unwise to send youth to schools that
do next to nothing- for the moral and
religious nature and that leave them
as their own masters, from afternoon
until morning, Immature, inexperienced
unguarded, to drift among the tempta
tions of the largo villages or cities,
often to the ruin of character and
prospects,
"Yet It Is In this period of life more
than In all that follow it that the trend
of life is determined. Foundations of
character are laid. Principles and
ideals are elected that lead the after
life, and index destiny. Unquestion
able statistics prove that this Is the
time in which the majority of students
and others determine for all tho fu
ture their acceptance or rejection of
Christ Professor Sturbuck shows that
of UC0 believers representative of dif
ferent classes, creeds, and localities,
182 were converted before eighteen
years of age and but 11S afterward,
The average age of conversion of these
and also of 776 graduutes of Drew
Theological Seminary was 16.4 years.
Plainly the acadeinio school occupies
the strategic place as regards the stu
dent's conversion."
The railroad department of the
Young Men's Christian ussoelation 'an
nounces the opening of an interesting
series of meetings for men on next
Munduy at 3,43 p. m. nuv. Klllott A.
iJoyl begins at that time a series of

In three of Scranton's local Presby
terian churches, lust Sunday, Dr. Mln
ton, moderator of the Presbyterian gen
eral assembly, chairman of tho com
mittee on "creed revision" for the Pres
byterian body, spoke to large bodies of
bis co-rellgionlsts on "The Twentieth
Century Movement." At the close of
his masterly address, speaking of the
skepticism of many Christians of
Christ's power to save, occurs this dec
laration, if he be conectly reported by
two of our city papeis: "I believe that
if it Is too hard for God to save one
soul that no soul can be saved." A
statement unequivocal In Its Unlvorsal
Ism. As this Is what Unlveisallsts
have taught for moie than n century,
enduring nil manner of misrepresenta
tion, ostracism and condemnation
therefor, Mr. Payne, the pastor of All
Souls' Unlversallst church, Sunday
morning, will review Dr. Mlnton's nd
dress, taking for his theme, "Is Dr.
Mlnton, Moderator of the Presbyteilan
General Assembly, a Convert to Unl
versallsm? It Would Seem So."

him and looking up as cvuj iiuii should, ho
