LECTURE ON LUTHER.
The Important Part He Played in tho
Reformation Discussed by Kev.
S. A. Repass Last Night.
Rev. Dr. S. A. Repass, pastor of St.
John's church, Allentown, and recog
nized as one of the ablest men in the
Lutheran church in this state, deliv
ered a scholarly lecture in the Kvnn
eellcal Lutheran church of the Holy
Trinity last night, on "Luther's Place
in the Reformation."
Rev. Mr. Repass compared the woik
accomplished by Luther with that of
Calvin and Melancthon, the two other
Si eat ilguies of the reformation. These
l.ibt two men, he declared, were both
distinguished factors in the movement,
but tlie inllueuce of neither was as
powerful as that of Luther.
The Reformation, he Haiti, was not
simply a religious movement, but a
movement which touched everything o
Importance and from which our modern
civllUatl.m Is very largely evolved. He
discussed at some length the corrup
tions which existed lu the old church,
and which Luther stood out against.
The Holy Scrlptuies, he said, were
printed In an unknown tongue and
cculd not be read by the common peo
ple. He, laid particular stress upon
.Luther's careful study of the Scrip
tures in tho monastery of Kifert, and
how this study led him Into n clear
knowledge of the way of salvation.
Tho Augsburg confession was dis
cussed at length and tho speaker re
iterated the claim of tho Lutheran
church that It Is the mother of Protest
ant Christendom, Ho discussed the
Thirty-nine Articles of Faith, of the
English church; the Westminster con
fession of tho Presbyterian church, and
tho creeds of other Protestant bodies,
and sought to show that they aro all
derived very largely fioni the Augsburg
confession.
Luther, ho said, reformed not only
the doctrines of tho church, but ho re
formed tho church Itself, and was him
self tho embodiment of nil ho taught
nnd believed, .Melancthon was a pro
founder scholar and a bettor theologian
than Luther; Cnlvlu was more logic
ally consistent, but neither of these
men had nt nil the Influence upon tho
work of the Reformation as did Luther,
Ho related how Luther first main
tained that every Individual is primar
ily responsible to God, and not to popes,
bishops or priests, and asserted that no
authority can stund between the Indiv
idual conscience and God. Ho pictured
wth much eloquence Luther's appear
ance before the Diet of Worms, and
his magnanimous conduct when called
upon to answer for his alleged heresy.
Dr. Repass, in concluding ills lecture,
quoted from a number of Roman Cath
olic writers who huvo admitted that
tho wot Id today owes much of tho
blessings of civilization to tlie reforms
which Lullier accomplished.
WALL IS STILL MISSING.
No Light Has Been Shed On Circum
stances Loading Up to tho Death
of Miss Hinchcliffe.
Harry Wall, of Oakwood place, Is
still absent from his home and the clr
ritnistnnccs leading up to the death ot
Miss Susan Hinchcliffe, of Avoca, at
the Lackawanna hospltul early Monday
morning have not yet been ascertained.
The parents of young Wall are un
able to account for his disappearance
from home, except from the facts which
connect him with tho Hinchcliffe ease.
MISS SUSAN HINCtlCLIFFK.
He did not take any extra clothing
with him, but secured what money was
due him from the Model lunch rooms
when ho resigned his position.
The facts in the case printed in The
Tribune were a surprisp, both to the
parents of the girl and to Wall's father
and mother, and both families nre
anxiously awaiting his return.
When the girl was removed to the
Lackawanna hospital she was in a.
critical condition, and talked Incoher
ently of her troubles, being delirous up
to the time of her death. When Wall
was at home on Monday morning ho
appeared to be greatly disturbed over
the young woman's death.
He is known to have relatives in
Moscow, Plttslon and Wllkes-Barre,
and it is possible that he has gone to
either of these places. An effort is
being made by his parents to locate
him. Coroner SaUry is still pursuing
his Inquiries into the ense, but as yet,
has not unearthed any new develop
ments. The funeral of Miss Hinchcliffe will
take place this afternoon frointhe late
home In Avoca.
Mis, Augustus Houck,- of S2.1 Penn
avenue, says that Miss Hinchcliffe did
not live nt her home, but nt airs. Mary

HIS RIGHTS
DAVY CHARLES ROBERTS KNEW
WHAT HE WANTED.
Demanded That Magistrate Davlos
Send Him to tho County Jail for
Ninety Dnys When the Magis
trate Refused Ho Threatened to
Send a Stone Through tho Window.
A Compromise Was Reached by
'Sending Davy Up for Thirty Days.
Accepted with Bnd Grace.
When the family of Thomas Hevnn,
In West Scranton, awoke a few morn
ings ngo they weio somewlint alarmed
nt finding a rear window open and evi
dences everywhere of tho visit of nn
Intruder. The housomuld was even
more Btartled some time Inter by dis
covering a frowsy-looking one-legged
whiskey-soaked man snugly ensconced
In tho "spare" bed,
The arrival of the police discovered
the Identity of the Intruder. Ho was
none less than the Incomparable Davy
Charles Roberts, a worthless, harmless
local "bum."
Tlie Bevan family declined to prose
cute him, nnd Mnglstrnte Davles wns
averse to committing him, as Imprison
ment never had any effect ono way or
the other on Davy Charles.
"I will let you go this time, Davy,"
said the magistrate. "This offense is
comparatively so mild that It can be
considered a step towards reformation,
and Just to encourage you, I won't send
you up."
"You won't send mo up?" queried
Davy Charles, In surprised tones.
"No, not this time," said the mngls
trnte. Davy Stood on His Rights.
"But , you will send me
up," quoth Davy, with emphasis and
Indignation. "I have as much right in
the county jail ns half those for
eigners that are kept there over winter.
Yoiijsend mo up or I'll ap-
penl the case to tho courts. I was born
here nnd I've paid taxes, too. I want
you to understand."
"O, get out," broke in the magistrate.
"If you don't, I'll ."
The magistrate came to a sudden
pause. He didn't know Just what he
could legally threaten to do except send
the fellow to jail, and that he was not
disposed to do, because it would not
only not be a punishment to Davy, but
a fulfilling of his heart's one and only
immediate desire.
"Well, what'll you do?" sneered Davy.
The alderman was at his wit's end.
He thought of having one of his office
attaches kick Davy out of the office
and around the block a few times, but
Davy is a cripple and, of course, could
not be subjected to any treatment of
this kind. Completely at a loss to know
what to do, the magistrate -concluded to
dismiss the dilemma by dismissing
Davy.
"You will have to get out of here,"
said the magistrate, sternly.
"Put ine out if you can," was Davy's
retort.
"Put him out!" the magistrate
ordered.
Davy Made Threats.
As one of the constables was ap
proaching with a view of carrying out
the magistrate's orders, Davy turned to
the magistrate and solemnly declared:
"So help me , Bez, if you don't
send me up for ninety days I'll henve
a rock through your window."
Davy hnd won the day. Tho mnels
trale knew ho was capable 'of carrying
out his threat and that he would very
likely exercise this capability. '
"Davy, I'll send you up for tlility
days for contempt of court," said the
outwitted representative of the power
and majesty of the law and peace and
dignity of the commonwealth.
"Not by a darn sight, your honor.
It's ninety or nothing."
"It's thirty," said tlie magistrate,
firmly, writing out the commitment.
"All t right, make it thirty," said
Davy, disconsolately. "Country born
people ain't got any sliow any more
around here, since the foreigners got
into politics. "
Davy is now enjoying the best that is
going at tlie Washington avenue Hotel
Schaclt.

W. C. T, U. MEETING.
Need of Enforcing Temperance Edu
cation Law Discussed,
The necessity for a more stilngent
enforcement of tho law reQulring In
struction lu the public schools on the
effects of alcohol on the human body
was discussed at yesterday afternoon's
meeting of tlie Women's Christian Tem
perance union, uud it seemed to bo the
sense of those present that a move
ment In tuvoi of such on enforcement
should be begun, It Is probable that a
committee will be unpointed In the near
future to consider this question.
Tho discussion wus the direct result
ot comments made on tho course of
lectures delivered at the county4 teach
ers' institute last week by Mrs. Mary
llunl, of Boston, who wan brought here
ut the expense of the Women's Chris
tlnn Temperance Union, und whose
Views found n ready acceptance on the
pari of many of the teachers.
An article on "Women In Politics"
was read by Mls Frances Hntib, tho
secretary, and wns generally discussed,
Mrs, C, A. Van Wormer expressed It as
her opinion that where women Interest
themselves In politics It should bo with
the Idea In mind of teaching their sons
so that they will not be led into tho
habit of voting us their fathers vote,
solely bcenuso their fathers vote that
way,
The next meeting will bo devoted to
tho hearing ot reports fioni the dele
gutcs to the recent national convention.
