They Waste tho Money Which Should Go for Life Insurance on Frivol ous Butterflies of Fashion, He Said. Young Wontcu Who Con Refuse Proffered Favors Are to Be En couragedThe Best Insurance Is the Acceptance of the Piomises of Christ. Itev. Dr. Hobert F. Y. Pierce, pastor of the Penn Avenue Uuptlst church, de livered an Interesting sermon last night before n large congregation, In which he dealt with the question ot life In surance, pointing out the advantages of both commercial Insurance and of what he termed Insurance with God. The doctor' chose for his "text John, fi:t7: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that helleveth on Me hath everlast ing life." "That text," said the doctor, "Is tho greatest life insurance text In the world. There Is all the difference In the world between believing In and be lieving on Christ. There are a great many people In this world who believe In Christ. Jesus, but who are never going to get to heaven, it Is only when we believe both In and on Christ that UfH Is secure. Christ, means what He days in this text. He says that men shall have everlasting life by be lieving on Him. He sneaks not of something In the future, but of some thing attainable here and now." Commercial Age. The doctor then referred to thf pn s ent age as the great commercial age, and said that the life insurance com panies are to be cons-idered as being among I he greatest of all commercial Institutions. He spoke of the early prejudice against life Insurance on the part of misguided Cliilstian people, who felt that to take mil tin insurance policy was to tempi Providence. The great and wonderful development of life Insurance was commented upon by the doctor, who declared that It is a positive crime for any man in this pres ent day to neglect to insure his life, through Indifference, shil'tlessness or improvidence. "Too many of our young men," said he. "are wasting their savings on friv olous young women. It is getting to be a very serious quest Ion. 1 assure you. The money which should go towards l providing for tomorrow Is spent by many young men In catering to tho whims and fancies of butterflies of fashion, without a serious thought in their minds. "I know a young mar. here in tills city who had a little bank account and who was so proud of it that he told mo all about it. He got a letter from the young woman he was pleased to call his sweetheart, one day. She said she wanted to come on here, but hinted that she didn't have enough money. He drew out his savings and sent them to her. She eamo on here, and he hasn't had a cent since. He never' will have until ho gets more sense, and an other and better girl." A Noble Person. The doctor asserted that the young woman who could gracefully prove her worth by lel'using an Invitation to the theatre or by refusing to accept other in-offered favois, If she realized that they would drain her companion's finances, was a noble person. Insurance companies cultivate habits of temperance, economy, thrift and self respect, the doctor said, and thus can be cousldeicd. as great moral forces. The doctor expressed the hop' that in some enlightened age in the future it will be necessary for a man lo lake out an Insurance policy at the same time as his marriage certificate, and that the duty of bestowing this policy upon the bride will di vlv,e upon the clergymen. "Now that I have considered com mercial Insurance In its various phases." said the doctor, "I wish to speal: of the best insurance, the insurance that is ours If We accept Cod's own word as quoted in the text I have read. It if an insurance policy that Insures us for eternity. It pays the largest dividends and you don't have to die to realize Its benefits. Glory's gate is always open to those who may wish to cuter In. I don't believe as much In preaching to get men into heaven as to g. I heaven Into moii. , "This insurance that 1 speak of calls for the smallest investment. All that God asks Is that we give our little narrow, selllsh hearts into Ills keeping, If we do this, He will give us the sweet est Joys we have ever experienced: He will give us a broader outlook anil will give us the truest and noblest of friends, "This Insurant e not only pays the largest dividends, but it pays them on sight. You can draw on tho bank of heaven every day, if you carry ti policy with Jesus Christ, A policy given by Hint is nou-contestable when once we give our lives to Him." HIGH SCHOOL LOST. Harry Hillmnn Foot Ball Eleven Proved Too Big a Proposition, Tho Scranton High School foot ball team was defeated on Saturday at Wllkes-Ilarre by the Harry lllllmau Academy eleven by a score of J7-U.

" FUNERAL OF LATR WILLIAM W.VANDYKE Services Conducted nt Family Resi dence Saturday Afternoon His Death a Great Loss to City. The funeral services of the late Will lain W. Van Dyke took place at the family residence, at Jefferson avenue and Linden street, tit 2 o'clock Satur day afternoon. A laige number of rela tives and friends were in attendance WILLIAM V. VAN DYKE. and the services, conducted by Dr. It. F. Y. Pierce of the Penn Avenue Bap tist church, were beautiful and Im pressive. Exquisite lloral pieces from many sources told an eloquent story of timely remembrance. Among these were offerings from tho Lodge of Elks, of which the deceased was a member, and employes of the llrm of Keller & Van Dyke. The em ployes of the llrm' were present at the obj-equles, as was also a delegation of Elks who were to participate in the service. Preceding the address of Dr. Pierce, Ralph Williams sang "Jesus, Lover of My Soul." and at Its close, "Nearer, My Ciod, to Thee," accompanied by Charles Doersam. Interment was made in the Dunmore cemetery, the simple and heartfelt services of the Elks, con ducted by Exalted iUiler Thomas J. Jennings, supplementing Dr. Pierce's remarks and prayer, with tho toucfi ot that sentiment which In time of death widens out the family circle anil makes ih whole world kin. The pall-bearers were 'John Henore, M. lienard, It. G. Norton, E. O. Voris, James Crugan and Joseph Keller. In attendance from out of town were Homer ("aider, a relative, of Frank fun. X. Y the two slsteis of Mr. Van Dyke, .Mrs. Mary True, of Vtlca, X. Y and Miss Jane Van Dyke, of Saquolt, X. Y and Vernon llrockway, of L'tlca, X. V. The other surviving members of the family aie the wifo of the deceased and I wo sons, 'William i, of this city, and Arthur D., of Worcester, .Mass., and one daughter, Airs. Arthur L. Col lins, also of Scranton. Tho connection of Mr. Yap Dyke with the growth and prosperity of Scranton deserves more than a passing' mention. That this city has outstripped many others of the state In variety of inter est and, consequently, population is due lo the energy and enterprisis of the men who have had to do with her pro gresstheir loyalty to her interest and faith In her fuiure, Founded primarily op, her coal industry, the ambition of her citizens have been such that on every hand mills and factories have been established, until today any .stag nation of tho coal trade means only a partial stagnation of business. Atid one of these many excellent en terprises Is the piano mnntifnctoiy of Keller & Van Dyke, with Its high-class labor, gradually widening its patronage nnd Incldoiitly heralding the fame of Scranton as a city (if thrift and centre of trade, tifsliles this, .Mr. Van Dyke has been identllled with various other Interests, notably the Scranton ISrew lug company, In conjunction with Michael Hand; the Meadow Hrook Silk company and colllus-llalr Furniture Manufacturing company, In both of which he hold the ollleo of president. As a man, his large circle ot friends attest to Ills sterling qualities, Those who knew him best loved him for his staunch character and unswerving principles, In n business way his roro slght was exceptional, His ability In this Hue, while lo a great degree a nat ural Instinct, was Increased ami op. Urged by a llfo of tireless endeavor, Ileglnnlng the struggle of llfo very early as a driver boy on the Erie canal nt tho ago of twelve; captain of a canal boat at fifteen, without the attendant circumstances that inako progress easy, he climbed step by step tho ladder of success. Although known t( bo of a kind and charitable disposition, yet his uio.-u intimate friends, Including his own family, were not aware or his many acts of benevolence strewn heie and there until Ills death called forth tho disclosure of them, like beautiful (lowers springing up to brighten and beautify his memory. In 111 i i hns been lost a valued factor In the Industrial affairs ot tho city, but as tho interests with which ho was asso ciated will ho carried on without change by his family, they will continue to add to tho advancement of the community that was fortunate enousli to attract him to her midst. j$v VxSfllEjL'ttrf jvwHmShhIh NEW BOOKS AT THE LIBRARY THE VOLUMES RECEIVED DUR ING NOVEMBER.
