BETTER. EDUCATED MINISTRY.
Topic Discussed by Dr. D. S. Bentley
Yesterday.
The annual rally for the A. M. E.
church schools was held at Howard
Place church, yesterday with fair finan
cial results. The following is a synoJ - -
sis of an address delivered by
delivered by Dr. D. S.
Bentley Inst night, on "A Better Edu
cated Ministry the Demand of the
Hour."
The African MethodM Episcopal church
Is thoroughly committed to an educated
ministry. Its ilrm belief Is that the pro
gress of the nue demands n well-trained
and highly cultured pulpiteer. That tl o
negro race has produced men and women
who have taken front ranks In the on
ward march of this great nation Is a
fnct generally conceded, The statement
hns been made frequently to the effect
that a Brent mistake Is made in the char
acter of education given the negro. From
tho ciltlcbin, ono would Imagine that
the country Is being overrun with negro
collegians who can llud no employment
In keeping with their training. 'Tho fact
Is, that In the ehools established In
former slnve states by Northern philan
thropy, emphasis Is being placed upon
Industrial and secondary training and
not upon higher education.
lint IT we are to Judge by the number
of college graduates, scarcely a beginning
has been made in that kind of training
which prepares the colored youth for
leadership In professional life. From all
Institutions In this country for the higher
education of the negro, thcie were gind
uated In I'iOO only lSii, of which number
127 were graduated fiom colleges located
In the former slnvu state. Of the 1J7
collegiate graduates, four weie In Ala
bama, where there Is a negro population
of &27.r.07 ; nine In fleoigiu, with a negio
population of 1,031,81:!, and three In Texas,
with a negio population of 020,722. Theie
nre i."Wl," or more colored ministers and
over HMO teachers In secondary and high
school Institutions; to say nothing of the
other piofesslons, and 27,182 In the com
mon schools, who'O ranks should be sup
plied largely fiom college gradual es.
Thus It cm be seen that the demand Is
much greater than the supply.
The piofc-slonal graduates for 1000 were
ns follows: Theological, 104; law, 24;
medicine, 7fi; detlstry, 10; pharmacy. 10;
nurse training, 31; total, 201. Krom the
commissioners' report, It Is seen that the
enrollment In tho former slave states In
1000 and 1001 were 2,7.!!, 22! colored persons
of school age, fiom !i to 1S ears old. The
vailous bi.'mclies of Instruction which
develop mind, muscle and character of
any people will accomplish thp same re
sults In the negro race. As In the past,
we must in the present and future help
inn selves. Help comes to thoe who
forge their unv through difficulty and
opposition. In the foremost ranks of th's
rapidly advancing nation, the herald of
the CJospel must be found at his post,
contending manfully against the forces
marshalled by the emperor of darkness
and thereby tiend the poweis of dark
ness down and win a well-fought day.
AMONG THE BOWLERS.
Repiescntatlves from tho eight teams
conipilsing the City Bowling league

South Scranton and completed final ar
rangements for the opening of the sen

mitted. This team will roll on the 'Elk
alleys. It compilses only thiec mem

Scranton Bicycle club, tho Electric
Ity Wheelmen, the Green Ridge Wheel
men and perhaps the Country club.

Theie are so many fast bowlers In
the clubs mentioned nlone that it is
proposed to have two teams from each
In the league. This plan is being ad

ers nnd seems to meet with general
approval. It Is claimed that if one club
is allowed to have the two teams tint

the Arlington's last year, and who is
ono of the best bowlers In tho city,

Pontifical High Mass Rev. J. P.
Jordan Is the Faithful and Ener
getic Pastor of tho Church.
The new church of St. Lawience
O'Toole, which the Catholics ot Old
Forge have erected, was formally dedi
cated yesterday morning by lit. Itev.
Bishop Al. J, Hobnn, In the presence of
ft largo congregation. Iti. He v. Bishop
Eugene A. Gnrvey, of Altoonn, and
over fifty clergymen from various parts
of the diocese assisted in the dedica
tory services,
The formal dedicatory ceremony was
performed by Rt. Rev. Bishop Hoban,
beginning at 10.no o'clock. A procession
was formed and the bishop blessed the
new church both Inside and out. 1m-
Church of St. Lawrence O'Toole,
.1. P.
mediately following tills ceremony a
pontifical high mass was celebrated by
Rt. Rev, Bishop Garvey, assisted by
tho following clergymen: Deacon, Itev.
E. J. Mclley, of Scranton; sub-deacon,
Rev. J, J. B. Peeley, of Inkerinnn; as
sistant priest. Rev. N. J. McMunus, ot
Scranton; master of ceremonies, Rev.
P. C. Winters, of Ilawley.
Tho dedicatory seimon was preached
by Rev. P. F. Biodeiick, of Susque
hanna, ii pulpit orator of great ability,
who chose for bis text Genesis, 2S:17:
"And he was afraid, and said, How
dieadful is this place! This Is none
other but the house of God, and this
is the gate of heaven."
Father Biodeiick commented upon
the fact that the church had been built
out of the humble means of the mem
bers of tho parish. He said:
In the sight of God, the pennies of the
poor man are moie acceptable than tho
dollars of tho lleh man. It Is becoming
that tho poor but honest laboring men
should build a home for the God of pov
erty, whoso first tabernacle on earth was
the humlilQ stable ut Bethlehem.
DOCTRINE OF INFALLIBILITY.
In the course of his seimon, Father
Broderlck gave an extremely logical In
terpretation of the doctrine of Infalli
bility, which Is such nn important ar
ticle of tho Catholic faith, saying:
We enjoy absolute freedom from en or
or doubt. This Is u matter of fact, since,
our fulth Is based upon the lnfalllhla
Wmd of God Himself, "nehold, I am
with you always, een to tho consumma
tion of the world," Others, not of our
faith, condemn us because wo chilm In
fallibility for tho church of God. Could
she bo tho repo-ltory of truthdf she could
err? Would God, tho spirit of tiuth, bo
with her If she did eirV "I command
you," sas Christ, "I send you, i com
mission you to teach."
At tho conclusion of the mass, Rt.
Rev, Bishop Hoban 'iniiile it few te
marks, giving the congregation "a
double meed of thanks" for their sacri
fices. Bo commended the pastor, Rev.
J- P. Joidnu, for his eneigy and zeal in
securing the funds necessary to erect
tho church, and expressed tho hope that
the spiritual roturii both to the congie
gation and pastor would be great.
Father Jordan tuaUe a btlof uddiess,

ance an'd the members of the congie
gatlou and outsiders for their contri
butions, a collection, amounting to
over $1,000, was taken up from the con

Semi-Professionals.
A seven-Inning base ball game was
ployed at Athletic park, Saturday be
tween tho Scranton semi-professlonuls
and the Olyphnnt Browns, the former
winning by the score of 5-2,
Young Bray, the Scranton twirler, al
lowed but four hits, and fanned eight
of his opponents, three of them In suc
cession In tho second inning. The both
teams were handicapped by the ubsonce
of regular players, Touhlll and Owens
being out of tho Scranton Inlleld.
Tho Browns had substitutes' In the

CHRIST, THE,
GOOD SHEPHERD
LESSONS FROM PARABLE OF THE
LOST SHEEP.
Rev. W. D. Stevens, Who Preached
in Grace Reformed Episcopal
Church Lnst Night, Declares That
the Attitude of the Modern World
Toward the Woak nnd Broken Is
Mitch the Same as the Attitude of
the Pharisees of Old Christ Not a
Teacher.
A wonderfully inspiring sermon based
on the parable of the lost sheep as
recorded In Luke 15: 3 to 7 was preached
last night In Grace Reformed Episcopal
church by Rev. W. D. Stevens, of New
ark, N. J. Rev. Mr. Stevens Is a son of
blind Bishop Stevens who has charge
of the missionary work of the Reformed
Episcopal church in the South nnd who
preached In this city several months
ago.
In his sermon last night he developed
the thought that the world today finds
It just as hatd to grasp the Idea that
Christianity Is a religion for the sinner
and for the sinner only as did the
Pharisees of old to whom Jesus re
counted the parable. He sp'oke In part
as follows:
The lesson of this parable was to the
Pharisees nu unthinkable proposition.
They were nnzed and astounded to
think that lac. sinner should bo pleasant
In tho sight of tho living God. It wus
past all belief. It was something entire
ly out of all harmony with the processes
of their minds. They contended that
there could be no harmony in tho moial
world if .such teaoifings woro followed
out.
Yet we must not marvel at the Phari
sees for men of all times have found
this doctrine a stumbling block and hnvo
received It with the utmost difficulty.
Men of nil nations, 'oven in this glorious
twentieth centuiy find It hard to accept
this teaching that the sinner is precious
In the sight of God. Can we justify It,
you nsk. Let us see.
IN CIVIL LIFE.
Tho civil sinner is never icgardcd as a
subject of tender love. Our jails lire not
built with that idea in mind nor is our
legislative machinery being' operated
with such an object In view. Civil life
stands on this question whole the Phar
isees of old stood. The slums and dark
by-ways of our cities are never tho first
objects of civic care nor do we give first
place to tho law breakers and the shift
less. If you have lead some ot the admirable
addresses which our noble piesldent has
been delivering of late you will have
noted that In the most of them ho has
exalted the man who can do things and
that he despises tho dishonest man and
the Impractical Idealist. That Is the idea
of the world today. We seem to want
men who can square their ideals with
the ability to cairy them out. We seem
to have no sympathy with the broken
down and the weak. The Idea that the
lame, tho halt and tho blind should bo
precious in the sight of God seems to bo
foreign to American thought today.
This teaching, we aie told, is contrary
to science. AVe aie shown that one of
the great laws of natme is the survival
of the fittest; that this universe lias
been for ages tho scene of an awful
struggle between contending forces, and
that the weak and tho bioken have gone
down and that only thu fittest and the
best nre existent and can be existent.
It seems strange, theiefore, that God's
seaich should be for tho broken man;
that tho weak blnner should have Ills
(list consideration; should be in fact the
veiy centie of His mind, of His heart
and of His activity.
We reason as did the Pharisees that
God should give first place to the re
fined man, to the man with a cultivated
Intelligence, to those who have taken the
trouble to lift themselves to a little high
er plane Intellectually than their fellows.
STAND AS DID THE PHARISEES.
Wo say that the moral man, tho man
witli clean hands nnd pure mind should
bo consideieil before the sinner.
Wo are Inclined to think that tho states
man, tlie warrior, tho humanitarian by
reason of their excellences and woith
should be placed in the front rank and
by leason of their virtues should be able
to claim the consideration of God more
than the weaklings and the stray sheep.
Wo stand, as I bald before, as stood tho
Pharisees of old.
To my mind theie Is only ono thing in
the? world that can be. compared with
God's consideration for tho bioken and
bruised tinner nnd that is the love which
tho mother boars for her little crippled
babe. No healthy child receives half tho
caro or half the attention as does that
little helpless Infant. That Is tho -only
place where the broken and the bruised
stand first except In the heart of the liv
ing pod. The wholo scheme of redemp
tion 'Is based on this ono fact. The out
cast and tho sinner occupies tho centie
and Is supremely first.
What people did God In the early days
choose for His own? Did lie chooso tho
cultured Greeks whoso nnmes nie written
on some of tho most glorious pages ot
tho world's history? No. Ho did not.
Did Ho choose tho Romans who nindo
tho power of tho Roman empire felt all
oyer the civilized world? Ho passed over
these. Did Ho choose the fierce Teutons
nnd did Ho go to tho heart of tho Black
Forest? No, He did not. Did He ehoosu
tho hardy Norsemen of romance, those
dauntless snllois who conquered the
mighty deep? No, Ho passed them by.
Whom then did Ho choose? Ho found
nn enslaved and a debased nice, possess
ing many ignoble qtuilltles and Ho mude
them tho centre of tho Divine plan.
NOT SUPREMELY A TEACHER.
Did you over think that Jesus Christ
was not supremely a teacher? Did you
ever conbldor tho slleneo of Christ?
Drunkenness and slaveiy weio wide,
spieml during Ills llfo on eiuth mid not
a woid did Ho utter against theso vices,
Injustices and corruption hi civil llfo was
on oveiy hand and not a word as to the
rights of men. Ho did not come ns a
teacher, Ho came to give Ills llfo us n
lansom,
Can we over hesitate to glyo ourselves
cntliely to Jesus after wo thoroughly
leallzo that wo stand In the veiy centre
of God's piovldcuce nnd grace? Ho seeks
to make us noblu and strong and true,
