PRANK RYAN DEAD.
Well Known Deputy Sheriff Expires
from n Complication of Diseases.
Deputy Shei lit Frank C. ltynn died
last night ut Ills home, 420 Mndlson
avenue, after an Illness of Huvcral
weeks' duration.
Mr, Ryan wa stricken with a partic
ularly severe attack of quinsy, from
which disease he was n yearly sufferer.
Pneumonia sot In about :t week ago
and this was further complicated by u
severe attack of stomach trouble. Ills
condition was very serious early last
week, but showed improvement on Fri
day and hopes were held out for his
ultimate recovery, fie suffered a re
lapse yesterday and nothing that ills
attending: physicians. Dr. It. II. Oibbtins
and Dr. L. M. Gates, could do could
ward off death.
Mr. Ryau was fil years old and was
born in Prompton, Wayne county. lie
was a fireman for it number of yeais
on the Jersey Central railroad during
his early manhood. About twenty years
ago he was appointed chief clerk in the
prothonotary's ofllce under Lemuel
A merman and was later appointed as
chief deputy sheriff by Sheriff Ran
dolph Crippon. He failed of re-nppolnt-ment
under Sheriff Lewis, but was
again made chief deputy by Sherilf
Robinson and held the position under
every succeeding sheriff, regardless of
their riolllics.
Mr. Ryan's death Is an Immcn.sur.iblc
loss to his family and immediate
fi lends. No father was more endeared
to his wife and children and no one
had a belter triend than those who
could claim Frank Ryan as such. The
doing of favors became with him a
matter of habit. It seemed that he took
his greatest pleasure In good oftiees to
others. He will be greatly missed from
the court house, anil especially will he
be missed by the young lawyers, who
over found In him .a willing helper.
One oC his chief characteristics was
his ability as a narrator of local his
tory. The polities of Lackawanna
county from Its establishment were nt
his fingers' ends and no man in the
county knew so much about so many
people as he. One of the most common
sights about the court house was a
group of cronies hitting around tho
sheriff's ofllce swapping stories of the
interesting events of the county's early
history and doings of the older inhab
itants. As ehipf deputy sheriff he became an
almost indispensiblc adjunct of the of
fice. Every sheriff with whom he
served will nttest that he never had any
cause to worry about how the business
would be conducted ns long as Frank
Ryan was tlieie. Ills honesty, judg
ment and thorough knowledge of the
olllco were an assurance that the sher
iff's interest would not suffer. It will
be years, probably, before the effect of
his death or tho direct workings of the
olllce will have worn away.
He is survived by a wife and the fol
lowing children: John, Frank, Joseph,
Charles, Mary, Charlotte and Margaret.
Tho funeral arrangements have not yet
been made.

FINAL
Largo Congregation Gatliovcd Yester
day Afternoon nt n Communion
Service hi tho Old First Presbyter
inn Church, Which Is About to Be
Torn Down Closing Address Was
Mado by Rev. Dr. S. C. Logan, the
Pastor .Emeritus Sermon by Dr.
McLeod nt Morning Service.
The old First Presbyterian church, on
North Washington avenue, was ciowdcd
almost to ovcrllowlng yesterday after
noon with worshippers who had coino
to attend the last public service to bo
held in the building prior to Its demo
lition. The church property was recently
purchased by J. D. Williams &, Hro.,
who purpose tearing the building down
after the first of the new year, pre
paratory to the erection of a lurge busi
ness structure. The Congregation will
worship In the auditorium of the new
Voting .Men's Christian association
building ponding the erection of the
new church nt tho corner of Monroe
avenue and Olive, street.
Tlte communion service conducted yes
terday afternoon was the last church
service to be conducted In the building,
though the Sunday school will have
Christinas exercises there tomorrow
afternoon.
The old church never looked more
beautiful than it did yesterday. Tho
Christmas greens, which had been hung
In honor of the new-born Christ, were
still In place and an air of solemn im
presslveness was present which seemed
l( have a quieting effect upon the large
congregation. Those gathered In the
church Included several of the original
members and many members of sister
congregations.
Tlie Opening" Sermon,
The opening prayer was delivered by
Xtev. Joseph 11. Odell, pastor of the Sec
ond Presbyterian church, and Dr. James
McLeod. the pastor, outdated at the
communion s-u-vicc proper. Tho prayer
of consecration was offered by Rev. Dr.
N. O. Paike, of Pittston, out of whose
missionary labors the First Presby
terian church grew. Dr. Parke Is S2
years old, but he seems to have the
strength and vigor of many a man
twenty years his junior, and his voice
never faltered as he said the prescribed
prayer.
After the serving of the bread and
wine, Rev. Dr. S. C. Logan, pastor
emeritus of the church, aim whose
labors as a Christian minister were al
most entirely devoted to Us needs, was
called upon to make a closing address.
He responded In a, voice trembling with
emotion and spoke. In part, astfollows:
"Oh, how very blessed are the-associations
which God's people have en
joyed within these walls and how He
has manifestly fulfilled for them His
divine promise, 'Lo, I am with you even
to the end of tho world.'
"How grateful we should all be as we
look back upon the history of this
church and remember how faithfully
God has fulfilled Ills every promise for
us and how Jesus has walked in our
midst as He said He would. As wo
listen to the voice which says, 'Arise.
let us go forth,' let us remember that
we can have the Influence of the asso
ciations formed here still with ns if we
continue to live as the Father would
have us live.
Will Strengthen Faith.
"As wo leave this place, whcie four
generations have found Jesus, let us
bear with us tho remembrance of what
He has accomplished for us, and it
must surely have the effect of stiength
enlng our faith and or rendering us
submissive to those obligations which
Ho has Imposed upon us.
"We should leave here not with sad
ness, but with that cheerful obedience
which Christ requires from all who
follow Him. Let us leave hero nleiltreil
to stand together heart to heart and
soul to soul, wrapped up In the tics
thnt have bound ns together in the
years gone by, and 1 feel confident that
our spiritual blessings will continue."
Mrs. H, H. Brady sang delightfully
during the service.
At the morning service, the pastor,
Row James McLeod. D. D., preached a
sermon dealing with tho history of the
church.
His text was taken from Acts, xx:32,
which reads as follows: "And now,
brethren, 1 commend you to God, and
to tho word of His grace, which Is able
to build you up, and to give von on
Inheritance among all them which are
sanctified." He said:
It was to tho eldus of the chmch of
Kpliesus, that tho Atmstlp v.mi , i,,,u
spoke. Ho loved tho church. He knew the
difficulties which Its members would luivo
to meet and tho tllals they would have to
endure; and ho pointed out to them Hi"
duties which they ought faithfully to dis
charge, llu reminded tho elders, and
through them, tho members of that his
toric church, of tho great Christian doc
nines to which ho had bornu testimony,
namely, "rtipentanco toward God, and
faith toward our Loid Jesus Christ," Ho
also reminded them thnt it was the chlei
object of his ministry, and tho supremo
jiurpobo of his life, "to testlfj thu gospel
of tlm L'liico of Uod," Then, having re
viewed the past, and having spoken a
word of warning, and having unbounded
conlldonco In the gospel of Clnlst. ho took
ii iiuiiuiiu oiiiiook oi mo luturo and said;
"And, now, brethren. I commend you to
Clod, nnd to tho word of his .jrncf.'whlch
Is able to build you up, and to give von
an inheritance among all thorn which are.
sanctified,"
A Brief Retrospect.
It seems In every way nppiopiluto, in
this last Sabbath of tho year, and on this
last Sabbath of our meeting in thlH old
building, that wo should Indulge in u brlof
introspect of our chinch's past, and lu n
hopeful outlook touching Its future,

prospered. It became n town, ntut Ihn
town became a city, and our church kept
pace with II, and grow with Its growth.
It has pleased Cod to bless this church
from Its very beginning. It Is In no spirit
of vain glory, hut In humility, and with
devout thankfulness to Almighty Clod,
that wo arc ablo to miy of this church,
that from lis organization until this da,
It bus been n now or for good tn this
community, and in tho regions lieyond.
Clod has uied It for tho conversion of Pin
ners and for tho edlllcnllon of saints.
Tho soventecn charter members of this
church are nil gone. Two only of thoso
who woro present nt Its organization, but
who wero not enrolled as mcmheis, are
w th us today, Mr. nml Mrs. Rlchurd W.
Olmslead, and long may they live among
us, to ndoin the doctrines of Clod our
Savior, mid to bless tho church which
they love.
Throughout Us history, this chinch has
been thoroughly Hicsbyloiluli In respect
of doctrine, polity, and an ovangcllcal
sphlt. It hns been faithful lo tho spirit
of Its peerless constitution, and Its aim
has always been I obo true to tho tiuth.
Tho Presbyterian church holds certain
doctrines In common with alt evangelical
churches: and It maintains certain dis
tinctive pilnelples which differentiate It
"tlm Scilptures of tho Old and Now Tes
taments to bo tho wonl of Uud, the only
ft in other churches. To these, doutrlnes
uud. principles, this chinch has always
clung with steadfast loyalty. Alt Its mln
Isters mid ruling 'elders have publicly
and solemnly declared that they believed
Infalllblo rule of fulth and practice."
They alo In the same manner said thnt
they "sincerely received and adopted tho
confesilon of faith or tills chuicli (tho
Pivsliyteilan) ns containing tho system of
doclilno taught in the Holy Scriptures,"
and further, that they nppi overt of the
government and discipline of thu 1'res
bytetlan church in these United Suite-."
Have Never Swerved.
Fi om these doctrines and principles this
pulpit and tho ciders of this church havo
never swerved. There may havo been,
fiom llmo to time, somo differences of In
terpretation, but all weiu loyal to tho
blue banner. On all proper occasions, the
principles peculiar to our branch el' tho
church, havo been vigorously defended by
this pulpit, and by this church's represen
tatives la presbytery, in synod and in
the general assembly.
This chinch has always thing to tho
good truth, that Christianity is a lar
larger and a far nuuu i oniprchenslvo
term than Picsbytciluulsiii or than any
other "Ism." neiicii this chuieh bus
throughout Its history manifested a sphlt
of broad catholicity towaid all other
Chiistlnu denominations. This church al
ways has believed, believes now. nnd It
is fondly hoped always will believe in that
grand old motto: "in essentials unity. In
lion-psscnllnls liberty, and In all things
charity." We believe hi Chilsllan unity:
wo aie m gieat admirers of church uul
foimlty. We know church history too
well, to boast of the beauty of church uni
formity. If we want to sco tho beauties
of uniformity wo have only to go to thu
graveyard there you have uniformity
but It is uniformity of death. Ho. after
tho first glow of Pentecostal days, the
church, when most boastful of outward
miifoimlty was most spiiitually dead. It
was when the church took tho most pildo
In her uniformity that she proved herself
most unchristian. It was during her ef
foils to maintain uniformity that she
breathed out threatcnings and slaughter
against tboe who questioned her au
thoiity. History hns tested and tasted
tho ripo fruit of the tree of chuieh uni
formity, and Its just verdict is, that the
fiult is neither sweet nor wholesome.
Wo believo with all our bents In Chrls
tiun unity, but that Is a. very different
thing lrom church uniformity.
This chmch of ours has always be
lieved lu o broad orthodoxy nn ortho
doxy as blond as the Blblo and just as
narrow. We belong to a most liberal
school, but we have never felt that we
would bo justified in taking such liberty
with tho inspired word as to misconstrue
It, und thus change tho truth of God Into
a lie. We belong to a nwt rational
school, but wo have never believed that
wo should opposo our fallible reason to
uod'H infallible revelation. In our e
tremo liberality we adopt the language of
St. Paul and say: "Grace be with all
them that love ihe Lord Jesus Christ in
sincerity." All such aro welcome to our
fellowship. All who desire to do so can
step over that low fence, that God's love
has erected, and enter, at once, into the
kiugdo niuf God.
What It Will Do.
AVe also adopt another striking somence
from the sumo huly apostle, namely: "If
any man love not tho Lord Jesus Christ,
let him bo Anathema Mnrauatha." That
is a fence so high thnt It will exclude
from God's kingdom all who rot use to
comply with tho simple and most renson
ablo conditions which the Savior has
specified, and which ho has a Just tight
to demand.
In addition to the bioadnes of its or
thodoxy, this church has alawys been
characterized by a philanthropic and mis
sionary spirit. The cause of Christian
missions, both at homo and abroad, has
always hud a wann place in tho heart of
this chinch. Tho largo sums Hint have
been contributed to homo nnd foreign
missions ami to tho other boaids of our
church by tho various societies of this or
ganization bear ample testimony to tho
interest taken In causes whkh aro so dear
to the heart of Chrlt.
Our records show that, up to the present
time, this chmch has contributed for
church purposes ?rSS,i;u; nnd that of this
sum, more than $-'."i0,0OO was for objects of
benevolence, outside that given for tho
support of our church. Hut that does not
tell more than half tho story; that is only
what appears in the reports of our gen
eral ussi'iuldy, Thousands upon thou
sands of dollars have been given by mem
bers of this church and cougregntlon for
church and chniltablo objects, of which
there Is no record save that which Is kept
on high, lie for whoso suko these larger
uud smaller sums wero given, knows nil
about them, and ho will not forivct his
devoted servunts on that day when ho
will tewnid overy man, according to his
woik.
Patriotism I closely connected with
piety If It ho patilotlsm of thu sterling
kind, and It Is but truth to sny that tills
pulpit and theso pews havo not been luck
ing lu patriotism, Rebellion and lawless
ness never found any sympathy hero.
When riotous crowds gathered lu tho
streets of this city, ami threatened to in.
juio tho persons and tho property of cit
izens, the bell of this chnrcn rang out tlm
aluim, and patriots rushed to the rcsctio
and to their credit bo It said thev din

In our great wnr for the preservation of i
tho I'nion, this church furnished its tail

Tho Influence excited by this chuieh in
this community cannot bo measured.
From it havo gono forth godly men nnd

PREACHED HIS
LAST SERMON
REV. L. H. WARING TO LEAVE
GRACE CHURCH.
He Delivered His Farewell Discourse
Last Night, and Replied to the
Charges Made Recently Against
Martin Luther by Rev. Father Val
entine Ho Intends to L'ocnto in
Washington, and Will Devote Al
most His Eutlro Time in the Future
to Literary Work,
Row Luther Hess Waring, pastor of
the Grace Evangelical Lutheran church,
delivered a farewell sermon last night
to tho members of his congregation. Ho
resigned somo time ago, the resignation
to take effect the first or the new year.
Rev, Mr. Waring has been pastor of
REV. LUTHER HESS WATilM'J.
Grace church for about three years and
a half, and during his pastorate the
beautiful new chuieh at the corner of
Prescott avenue and Mulberry street
has been elected. He was highly es
teemed by the members of his Hock
and It was with regret that his resig
nation was finally accepted.
He proposes to devote almost his en
tire time to literary work hi the future,
and intends to locate in Washington,
D. C. He will havo no fixed charge,
but will preach occasionally. He is nt
present engaged in the preparation of
a work entitled "Strikes and Uoycotts,"
in which he will treat of these subjects
from both an economic and an ethical
standpoint. Ho will also devote his
time to the writing of several works
on theological subjects.
Tho church will decide on a new pas
tor during the coming week and it Is
very probable that the man who will
be chosen will he Rev. W. M. B. Gland
ing, or Newport.
Row Mr. Waring's sermon yesterday
was intended as a reply to certain
charges made by Rev. Father Valen
tino In ono of the lectures lo non
Cathollcs delivered at St. Peter's cathe
dral recently. Father Valentine charged
mat the Reformation was the direct
outgrowth of Martin Luther's "wounded
pride." He also roundly denounced
Luther Tor breaking his twofold vow of
chastity. Rev, Mr. Waring: took up the
defense of Luther and spoke, in part,
as follows:
Mr. Wiring's Sermon.
The papacy of tho middle nges claimed
tho right and power to decide boyond ap
peal not only mutters spiritual, but af
fairs temporal. It asserted the right to
give crowns and to take them away.
AVhcn un emperor or king refused or de
layed its bidding, tho papacy claimed tho
light to release tho subjects of the icalni
from their allegiance to tho throne. De
cent Interment even was prohibited to
those disobedient to Its commands. Its
priests and monks overran eastern and
southern Europe, sworn to defend the
papacy at any cost, and themselves bo
yond the reach of tho laws of the land.
Many entered the ranks of the clergy
simply to shield themselves fiom just
punishment for crime. At the heail of
civil affairs, at tho head of all ecclesias
tical uuthoiity, at the head of all spir
itual dominion, not only on earth, but In
purgatory as well, sat tho absolute dicta
tor. tho pope of Rome, who claimed him
self to be tho vicar of God and Jesus
