WEST SCRANTON
BLASPHEMY IS
A VULGAR HABIT
IT ALIENATES MAN FROM GOD'S
AFFECTION.
a'orcoful Exhortation by Bov. Father
Fngnn, of Great Bend, at St. Pat
rick's Catholic Church Last Even
ing to Members of tho Holy Name
Socioty Nows of tho Other
Churches' Events of This Even
ingSocial Events Notes and Per
sonals. Ilcv. Falhei' Fa gun, oC Great Demi,
'delivered a very impressive sermon ut
Kt. Patrick's Cuthollc church last even
ing to tho members of St. Patrick's
Holy Name society, and many others
who were in attendance at the services.
The object ot the society Is to pre
vent and discourage in every way pos
sible the talcing of the name of tho
Lord Jesus Christ in vain, and the use
of vulgar and obscene talk In general,
nnd along this line Father Fugan spoke
with much feeling and Imnresslveness.
.Among other things, he said:
"In your socioty do not forget to Im
press the mercy ot Jesus on your mem
bers. To the disciples He fcald, 'Tby
sins are forgiven, go and sin no more,'
nnd be sends the same message to those
who believe and trust In him today.
"The name of Jesus, the founder of
lellglon, was destined by God to save
souls, and Ills mime should be greeted
everywhere with reverence and respect.
You always address your friends In
everyday life with respect, but this can
not be said to be true in addressing
Christ, whoso name is so often taken in
vain.
"When you swear you take the name
of Jesus In vain, but I ask you if you
over call on Him to witness your other
deeds. His name should always be
treated with veneration and resDecl.
lint how often do you find that It Is
almost impossible to leave your home
without listening to blasphemy?
"God pity tho blasphemer. Those who
uannot regale their children with any
thing better than blasphemy are to be
pitied. If there is one more sin more
despicable than blasphemy, I do not
know what it Is. It is a vulgar habit,
and if you indulge in it you cannot ex
pect to enjoy the respect and esteem of
the Master."
As an illustration of how the habit ot
Mvearing- grows on a person, the
speaker told ot a young man who was
injuied in a railroad wreck, and had to
undergo tho effects of ether in order
that an operation might be performed.

Ho had administered tho last rites of
the church to hlin beforo lie became
unconscious, and during tho latter
period tho victim's blasphemy was ter
rible. '
Of course, he said, the victim was not
responsible under tho circumstances,
buo he was responsible for having con
tracted tho habit, and it went with htm
to the grave.
In commenting on tho presence of so
many men at the service, ho said It wan
gratifying to behold bo many men o
different walks In life pledged to pro
tect the name of Jesus from blasphemy,
and impressed them with the thought
that it is tho only name whereby we
can be saved,
"If you nro consistent," he said, "you
must preserve, protect, honor, und
glorify tho sacred name of Jesus. If
you wish to bo damned, then continue
to blaspheme. The men of tho Holy
Narnt! socioty can set on excellent ex
ample for all to follow. Their pledge Is
n powerful Incentive for others to fol
low, and if others do not Join, they can
nt least prevent the demon ot blas
phemy from gaining a foothold In your
midst,
"You must bo faithful to your trust,
but If you ore recreant, I fear for your
safety. He faithful and salvation will
bo yours for all eternity."
After the sermon the members of the

etress, in which he told her that he
represented the police authorities, who
were going to havo tho house raided
tho following night unless $10 was paid
over. The woman was told to send tho
money to a hotel, which was named,
and that If she did so all would go well.

lowing night the man came back, ac
companied by a companion. They stated
that they had authority for the raiding
of the place and would proceed at onco
to arrest everybody inside, if the $10
was not immediately forthcoming. The

for a messenger boy, saying she would
send him up to city hall to see If tho
deal wus "on the SQUure." Tho an
nouncement that a messenger -boy had
been sent for caused tho pair of black
mailers to suddenly remember that they

Pongee Silks
A soft washable silk fabric, woven from the nat
ural uncolored raw silk, without further manipulation
after it leaves the cocoon, than to "boil it out of the
gum." The word is said to be a corruption or Chinese
"Punki" "own loom," or "Punchi" "own wearing."
Our window display may suggest to you the desirabil
ity of a Pongee Dress, and surely there are very few
materials equal to the Pongees for general summer
wear. They are dressy, they are cool, they don.'t soil
easily.and if they do clean easily. This display will reveal
to you the vast improvement recently in the weaving
and designing in this class of silks, showing
Grenadine, Persian ,
and Armure Effects, in
Self Colorings, Two-Tones
and Variegated Shades
Something About Trimmings
There is no longer any doubt about trimmings for
this spring season. The graceful curves and unique
designs of the spring styles make them harmonize hand
somely on the "clingy" materials for gowns. Most
prominent probably are the Gallaon, Medallion, Serpent
ine and Applique designs. They are so constructed that
you can separate them. This is but a hint about our
large stock of trimmings. A few more ideas selected at
random in the Laces are Colored Appliques, in black and
white, "Olio," Two-Toned and Persian Effects in the
colors. No better display in this city.

tho old plan of Impounding mu'h dogs
might bo adopted but this has been
domed Inadvisable for many reasons. ,
It is considered that the danger of
tho spread of rabies Is not so great I
as tho veterinarians claim it Is and !
that tho danger to human life is prne- )
tlcally nothing. Until tho dlseaso
