THE UNIVERSALIS!
CONCEPTION OF GOD
Sermon of Rev, Thomas B. Payne In
All Souls' Unlversalist Church i
Last Night.
Interest Is Increasing and the con
gregations are growing at AH' Souls'
Unlversalist church, the only represen
tative of the liberal faith In Scranton.
Large congregations were present yes
terday, both morning and evening,
again to listen to the helpful sermons
of the pastor, Rev. Thomas B. Payne,
who spoke in the morning on "Giving
What Wo Have," and In the evening
on "The Unlversalist Conception of
God." Por his evening text, Mr. P.iyne
took the opening words of the "Lord's
Prayer," "Our Father which are in
heaven." He said, in part:
We liy it down a a piopodtion that cannot
be disputed successfully that the Fatherhood of
(fod U at ontc the center ami circumference
of tho teachins of our Lord and Master .les-as
Christ. Anjthipir presuitcd by men as his tiutli
Hint conflicts with whit an iiiluiitely good, wise,
loving and powerful Pjtlier 11111-t do, is oulUe
of what Jesus taught. If L'nivcrsalists reject
many thlnjrs taught by other churches, It is be
cause we believe o lomplelelv and profoundly
what Jesus Liuirlit coiKcining the l'atlier.
The (rudest conception of (Sod is found In the
Indian's "llre.it Spirit." 'Ihc loftiest conception
of (Jod is found in Jesus' "Dm V.ither." Between
theso two conceptions of (iod have been de
veloped many others, not erroneous, simply in
complete, marking the various si. ires of human
development. Such aie the Jewish concept! jih
of (iod as "Creator," "sovcieign," "Judge," and
whlili weie incorporated Into the CalvinUtlo
fhuilogj in plate of the Christ's "Our rather."
The Univiifalist duuil. believes in "llnr
I'lllici" as the "Ciealor" 01 the vorld. He
irade it In love ind wisdom. Il is .ill good in
every part, pml no man can b" injured by any
pait of it unless they pcivcri It from its light
u-es. We bclieip it is not "a vale of teirs" to
those who u-e 11 aright; but a beautiful dwelUnn'
pi ice. jia, a fchool in which Cud is training in
foi the labots of an unending lite.
We believe "Our l'jtlioi" is "i-'otireign" iu
His universe. Xo part of II i beyond his inter
ct, thought, wisdom, lonttol. Men contend
with Him, obey Hun, curv Him, onlv at last
to find tli"nuclve'. absolutely povv ericas in bis
handf.
L'niversalisls believe "Our Fathei" is "Judge"
in His moral univeise. Xo nun tan escape his
judgments. Xo man can escape his punishments'.
But "Our '.tllier" defy not punish .lrbltuiil),
nor vindictively, but iu love to leclaim.
We bclievn "Our 1'ather" is it pine spirit, with
out phjsienl puts or passion-, ouimsceiit, oinni
piesent, both tiaiisiiudint and imiuineut.'
We believe that tho infinity ot "Our ratheiV
love iinpclls him to desiic the slHitior. of all
souls. We bellive Ihc intinllv of his wisdom is
Kiiilieiuit to plan their salvation. Wc believe Iho
infinity of his pcvvci is cquil to doing whit bis
luvc desiics and Ids wisdom plans, til I leaving
man a fice moral ageni.

A Wonderful Place.
A peculiar element which has made
Atlantic Clt.v famous Is that Us beauties,
Its delights, Its charms aro extolled and
lauded everywhere by Its urdent nd
m'.reis. It can bo truthfully said that no re
sort, has similar attractions ttnd fasci
nations, Tho beach, broad and level
and reveral miles In length, presents 11
grand alghl at tho height of the season.
At the bathing hour thousands upon
thousands enjoy (ho surf, Innumerable
sun chairs for onlookers skirt the
ciowd, and ponies and donkeys laden
with children are scampering close to
the water's edge.
Tho boardwalk, tho piers, tho band
concerts, the sailing and the thousand
and one social enjoyments contribute to
this wonderful nnd Interesting, beach
resort. What is fast becoming the popu
lar touto to Atlantic City is tho Jersey
Central, with Its double dally three

aro models of convenience, equipped
with vestlbuled coaches and parlor cars.

BAPTIZED IN THE
ROARING BROOK
Disagreeable Weather Prevented All
of the Candidates but One from
Putting in an Appearance,
The baptismal services arranged by
the Shlloh (colored) Baptist church took
place according to schedule, yesterduy
afternoon, despite the rather unpro
plllous weather.
Tho Immersing occurred In a pool In
tho Roaring Brook opposite Irving ave
nue, just above tho old rolling mill. One
candidate only appeared, John Left
right. There were others, but at a late
hour they concluded to put off their Im
mersion until the next service, which is
to take place the first Sunday In May.
Fully 300 persons stood about the two
banks of the brook for more than an
hour, shivering in tho cold, pelting rain.
Nearly half of thpm were members of
the little church under whose auspices
tho service was conducted. It was a
very decorous gathering and only once
was there tho semblance of anything
Irreligious. That was when tho man
who was baptized came to the surface
spouting water from his mouth, which
by mischance he opened when im
mersed. The ctowd on the opposite
bank set up a guffaw. The pastor le
buked them, but with true Christian
spirit immediately followed the rebuke
with his benediction.
The pastor, Rev. Jacob Boddle, a tall,
stalwart, young man, with the trustees
of the church arranged a dressing room
in one- of the half-demolished buildings
of the old steel plant, and here the pas
tor and the candidate changed their
street clothes for long black gowns, tied
around the middle with a belt.
The pastor appeared first and, taking
a stand at the water's edge, announced
that there was only one candidate for
baptism, but at tho next service there
would be more. He then went on to
say that there was, to his mind, nothing
theatrical about an open-air baptism
and he didn't want It to appear so. To
him it was all as solemn as death. The
authority for baptism in the "liquid
stream" was shown by many quotations
from tho Bible, and then came an ex
hortation on righteous living, In which
the big fire at Atlantic City was pointed
out to be a visitation of God's ven
geance for the Easter Sunday excur
sions from Philadelphia.
Patrolmen Saltry and Quitman, at the
request of Pastor Boddle, chased the
boys away, the trustees went about to
lift a collection, nnd the congregation
rang "Glory to His Name" and "I Hear
Thy Welcome Voice." '
With a long, red curtain pole the pas
tor picked his way into the brook until
lie was up to his middle, and then the
candidate, his head bound around with
a white handkerchief, came from the
improvised dressing room, descended to
tho water's edge and was led into the
stream, while the assemblage sang
"Carry Me to the "Waters."
Clasping the candidate by the fight
hand and placing his left to the back of
the candidate's head, the pastor spoke
at some length on the significance and
efficacy of baptism and then Immersed
him backwards, uttering at the Same
time the usual words.
Pastor Boddle was plainly ill-pleased
at the gulfaws provoked by the candi
date having thoughtlessly kept bis
mouth open, and after leading the can
didate to tho shore, turned on the crowd
to tell his displeasure. In a moment,
however, lie followed with his blessing,
Imparted while bo stood in the water,
with his hands lifted high above his
head and the cold rain beating down on
his face.

THE FATHERS
OP THE CHURCH
THEME OF A SERMON BY REV.
DR. JAMES M'LEOD.
Ho Told of the Great Men Who Dom
inated the Thought of tho Early
Christian Church, and Declared
That They Belong Not Alone to
tho Catholic Church but to All
Christian Denominations Origon,
tho Teacher, and Athanastus, the
Theologian, Commented Upon.
Rev. Dr. James McLeod, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, last night
gave tho first of n. series of brief ser
mons dealing with some phases ot tho
early history ot the Christian church.
Ho chose for his particular topic,
"The Fathers," nnd briefly sketched
tho life history of a few ot the men
who dominated the thought of the
Christian church during Us first four
centuries. Nearly nil of the men who
are commonly called "Fathers of the
Church," he said, have been canonized
as saints by tho Roman Catholic
church and are claimed as belonging
to that church alone. The Fathers, Dr.
McLeod said, belong to no particular
church, but to every denomination
which believes in Christ as the Son of
God.
Tho doctor took up the lives of some
of the fathers who lived nnd flourished
In Alexandria, when that undent city
was In the heyday of its commercial
and Intellectual supremacy, and told
briefly of Clement and of Orlgen, his
pupil, und of the Christian schools
they founded. Clement was famous as
a preacher, the doctor said, but while
sincere was not an Ideal expounder of
God's word, being too allegorical in his
style.
FOUNDER OF EDUCATION.
Orlgen, on the other hand, was fam
ous as being one of tho founders of
Christian education, as a disputant
and as a learned theologian. He died
in Tyre In 254, aged 70 years, having,
as the doctor said, "kept the faith and
earned n crown of glory."
He briefly sketched the history ot the
Arian heresy which was founded by
Arius. an Alexandrian presbyter who
with "specious reasoning" admitted' the
Godship but denied the divinity of
Christ. The doctor told of the great
council at NIcal, held in 323, at which
Arius was ex-communicated and his
doctrines condemned. This was at
tended by 318 bishops from all parts of
the Roman empire, and was presided
over by Constantlne, the Roman em
peror. One of the men who attended this
council, the doctor said, was the great
Athanastus, then only a. deacon twenty
five years old, but a man of superb In
telligence and possessed of a real and
living faith. It was his creed, now
known as the Nicene creed, which was
adopted by the great council as the
best expression of the doctrine of the
Christian church.
Athanastus, the doctor said, was a
model bishop and a model theologian.
He told ot the persecutions ho was
obliged to suffer after he became bish
op of Antioch, and of how he put all
his enemies to flight In tho end. The
lives of Jerome, Ambrose, Basil and
Augustin would, with the other great
fathers, furnish topics for dozens ot
sermons, tho doctor declared.
ARE OUR FATHERS.
"The Christian Fathers," said he In
conclusion, "are our fathers and goodly
is our heritage. They were not perfect
in all things, and for this we can love
them more. These saints of God were
Christ-like In their lives, but they were
swtiyed by human passions, like our
selves and this fact brings them closer
to us. They were not inspired, nor
were they infallible, but they were men
of pure lives with high and lofty ideals.
Judged by the age in which they lived
they were heroes and they have left
behind them that which the Chtistian
world would not willingly let die.
