SERVICES IN
GUERNSEY HALL
FIRST OP A SERIES TO BE CON
DUCTED THERE.
Rov. Thomas B. Pnyne Is Behind
tho Movement Sorvlco Departs
from the Traditional Lines in
Somo Respects Tho Opening Talk
of Mr. Payne Last Night Wns on
"Twentieth Century Problems."
Gravo Questions That Have Arisen
and Must Bo Solved.
Rev. Thomas O. Payne's first service,
Inst night, under the auspices of Guern
sey hall pulpit, was a decided success.
In some respects, tho service depurted
from tho traditional lines of a "formal"
1 leilglous service. We refer especially
i to tho Introduction of the rending by
Cora Morris Grlinn. But Instead of do-
i trading from the liupiesstvcness of the
' service, Miss Orlflln's splendid render
ing of LongfolIow'H "Sandalphon" deep-
1 cned the value of the whole service.
The whole service from the sacred song
service to tho violin' offorntory by Irma
Myers was helpful and Inspiring. Next
Sunday night, the address will be on
"Religion nml Success In Law," and
will be given hy Attorney T. J. Chase,
of Wllkes-Barre.
I For his opening talk from the Guern
sey hall pulpit, Mr. Payne took for his
subject "Twentieth Century Problems.
, We give tho address In part:
I Mr. Payne's Talk.
He. who bplleyes that God eontiols Ills
universe, must believe, ir ho would be
consistent, that tho twentieth century Is
to ho better than the centuries that nro
behind it. In spite of all their good, in
which v.o rejoice, the golden ago was
not In the past, but Is In the future. Tho
gat dun of Kden was not In tlie past, but
is somewhere In the future.
Now, vast as weic the achievements of
the centuries Down, never to icttirn, es
pecially of the nineteenth century, the
accomplishments of thr century we have
just entered upon will tower above them
as Alpine peak towers above foot hills.
As Intelligence, opportunity and accom
plishment Increase, so do social deslro
and struggle advance. Cod has forever
linked the two together. Thero can nev
er be the absence of the latter, unless
there Is stagnation of the former. No
greater problems, therefoie. hae ever
veiled and bathed tlie world than will pre
sent themselves to men in the century
across whoio threshold we lia.vo just gone.
What arc they? you ask. Let mo try
to tell you briefly:
f. The first problem Is found In con
nection with truth and its wise applica
tion. 1 u-e the word "truth" In Its In
clusive sense. After thousands or years
of studv and research and accomplish
ment, we think we know about all there
Is to be known. But the realm of truth
Is still inexhaustible. Mankind has only
penetrated the outer -.hell a little way,
hero and there.
The Christian Church.
II. Another great promem of the new
century Is, What is to become of the
Christian vhurch. Midst much error,
malice, wrniiK and sin. the church,
through nineteen eentuiies, has done a
great work, and been a great factor In
human progress. Is sIib still to bo? Is
it true she Is losing her hold on tho peo
ple? Many of her wisest men s.iy "Yes."
T fear so. If this i true. It Is because
the great denominations todav stand for
llttlo that is positive hi faith, practice
and discipline.
You oneo knew when tho great
churches stood. Do yon now? I fear
not. They are after numbeis today moro
than puiity of doctrine and lightcous liv
ing. ITT. The third problem is found In tho
question, What it to become in tho twen
tieth century of the submerged masses
of mankind ? Arc they to sink still fur
ther out of sight, or are thev, responslvn
to tho call of God in truth, Improved
eiuironmont and general proeress, to
make a -tiuggle for the surface?
IV. Still another problem Is found in
the great wealth of private Individual:!
and the vast cm porn t ions formed by
them. How should we regard these?
Why. primarily sympathetically. We can
all see that both arc needed tod.iv In tho
world's development. Rut, at the samo
time, we should be determined that they
shall be subservient to Inw.
V. A fifth problem pressing upon pub
lie Intelligence and consclenco today lies
in the determined organization of labor.
How shall we regaid It? It too has come
to stay. It is rnpnblo of great good to
thoso who are In it. and to mankind nt
large, In spllo of the opinion of somo
people to the contra rv. Liko every organ
ization made bv fallible man, it has its
faults. The good wo want to conserve,
tho bad we want to help It slough off.
Human Government.
Yr. Tho last problem. I want to men
tion tonight, pressing upon the new cen
tury for solution concerns human govern
ment. At the close ot tho twentieth cen
tury, which theory Is to be dominant in
practice, the Despotic or the Democratic?
In this country wo have been accustomed
In say that tills problem has been solved.
Rut, is It. Too many fear, men of Intel
ligence mid wisdom, that once unnln dur
ing tho present century the old despotic
theory Is to strive for tho ascendency.
Briefly, my friend?, I have tried to
sketch for you tonight some of tho mighty
problems that will como up beforo you
and me, and our children, during tha
century upon which wo hnvo enteied, for
soiutlon. Are wo fitting ourselves for the
high work God Is calling 11 sto do.
Are wo trying to get at tho truth of
things? A10 wo strong In the Instincts
ot right, justice, sympathy and mercy?
Aro wo schooling ourselves, first of all, to
ask our own souls, "What would God
havo mn do In this matter?" Aro wo
profoundly convinced that thC'.e problems
will never bo solved light, and so stay
solved, till they are solved In accordance
with tho Dlvlno plan?

Short Talk on Trusts.
Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Wo hear very much talk about
trusts these days. What Is a trust? A
body or nun combining together for self
protection or self interest. Well, If so,
Is that wrong? . No. Trusts aro lawful
and good If they will keep within tho law
of the land and within their own lights
and much good or much evil muy como
fiom a tiust. It appeals to 11m Unit
It depends all on tho pnrtles pooling their
Interest In tho trust und those loading
the samo, Let me lllustratu 011 n small
scale. What I bellevo or understand a
trust Is Is as follows:
There Is 11 certain town In this valley In
which (hero nro twelve ictall giocery
stores and being that all are In the same
line they aio all competitors, and, us Is
natural, everyone- wUlies to Increase his
trade, and to increase trade they see but
tho ouo way to do It, and that Is by sell
ing cheaper than the other fellows and
ono of tho cuts tho pi Ice U cents per
pound on butter, and it is made known to
his competitors, mid ouo of them feels sore
over It ami cuts fifty cents off tho barrel
of flour and still another one gives twenty
pounds of sugar for a dollor with a bill
of g,oods In placo of eighteen pounds as
heietofore, and others follow tho rat of

This Pablic Statement of a
Scranton Citizen Will
Be Appreciated,
Many n reader of this In Scranton
has sono through the selfsame experi
ence In part, and will be rtlnd to be
shown tho way to get rid ot tho con
stant aches and pains ot a bad hack.
Profit hy a Scranton citizen's experi
ence. Miss Mary Lutz, of 1310 Sanderson
avenue, says: "I used Doan's Kidney
Pills for a severe pain In my hack,
which troubled mo mole or less since
I was small. It annoyed mo mostly
after doing 11 hard day's work, such
as Ironing, but a few doses of Doan's
Kidney Pills soon drove It away. My
brother nlso used them und they did
him ti gieat deal of good."

money, but all saying business Is gone to
the dogs.
Hut after a while one ot them which
had more common sense and business tact
thna tho othois, thought over matters
and safd to himself: "This will never pay
and will go and see those other merchants
and sco can we not get better feeling and
have business to pay better." So he went
and they agreed to meet together and
havo somo plain talk on tho question.
Thero were six of them at the meeting.
Mr. Longhead got 011 Ills feet and struck
the correct keynote by saying: "I havo
been thinking over this matter beforo
coming hero how can wo get better results
from our business, and looking over my
own expenses which I had to pay each
month It caused 1110 to think ot it for
rent, for cashier, for clerks, and often
half of them without anything to do.
Also tho dilver and team and wagon,
coaj and light and other things which
makes quite an Item each month, whether
It will bo little or much trade. And I pre
sume all of you find your expenses very
much the same as myself. Therefore I
will suggest that we shall pool all our in
terests together and form a trust and it
will pay us better. We would need but
one rent, one cashier, ono place to bo
heated, one set of lights to be used. In
place, of six of each, and halt the clerks
and drivers, team and wagons would do
the service. By so doing wo can get in
terest on our capital and sell our goods as
cheap as we do at present."
They all agreed to tho plan and formed
a trust and wero doing well. After a
while tho other six merchants seeing that
the trust was getting fair interest on
their capital, and everything going along
smoothly and selling their goods com
paratively cheap, they applied to tho trust
for pooling their Interest in the trust also.
They were reasoning thus: If It Is good
for six It must be good for twelve. So
they wero received Into tho trust with
open nrms, and the public themselves
aro reaping tho benefit.
You will notice that tho above trust
has fallen into good hands and has paid
them nnd the public as well. But supposo
If tho said trust had fellcn Into evil
thoughts and evil hands, then it would bo
entirely different. Very likely they would
for a while sell their goods chenp for
tho only purpose to freeze the other sl
out, and after freezing the six merchants
out they would very likely bo skinning
the public all they could. Ilenco tho
question Is In what class of people's bauds
aro the different trusts?
Somo say wo should havo laws to do
away with trusts altogether. If It bo so,
in my opinion wo would do away with tho
possibility of the greatest blessing to the
greatest number of people. Rut I bellevo
that our president In his many speeches
of late has given us tho right Idea by ad
vocating laws to control tho trusts. Wo
must havo stringent laws to combat with
evil doers In trusts and tho samo law that
combats with tho evil ones will protect
the good ones. And being that this Is
an age of tiusts, wo must get now laws
to meet them, no matter whether they
are trusts of capital or trusts of labor.
Wo havo seen of late much suffering on
nccount of the scarcity of laws to con
trol thoso trusts,. It was proved con
clusively a few days ago that It is Im
portant to know In whose bauds trusts
are; tlie retail coal dealers ot Now York
and Philadelphia, concluded to chargo $13
a ton for the time being, but the opera
tors' trust said that thoy should sell tho
highest price coal at $ii."5 nor ton and
that they would have from il,2.",i to $t.:0
per ton pro lit on said prices, nnd If thoy
would not sell it at that price the opera
tor would retail It themselves at that
pilce, That proves tho latter trust to b,i
11 good trust, Hoping thoy will always
contlnuo so, I nm, Respectfully,
John Jones.
