appointment as postmistress. The
position is worth $1,600 a year, and

WHAT THE SCRIBES SEE AND HEAR
An Interesting Sermon In the
Methodist Episcopal Church
Last Night on "Evorlastlng
Punishment"
"Everlasting Punishmont" was tho
theme under consideration Sunday night
at the Method'st Episcopal church : "These
shall go away into overlasting punishment,
but tho righteous into life eternal;" Mitt.
25 40. These fearful words are a part of
the wholo counsol of God which It Is the
duty of tho gospel minislor to declare.
Tho element of fear is divinely Implanted
and tho ministry that fails to addros It Is
shorn of a part of its power. The tem
pest and tho oarthquake aro often nocos
sary to arrest attention to the still small
voice. Tho bible speaks t us of never-
ending punishment which li reserved for
the mure. If some njon do carry with
them la their bosom a hell of remorso this
is not the hell to which tho text refers
Howbeit tho worst ol men are often free
from romorse altogether, so that if remote
were tho only hell which we havo to fear.
sotno who most deserve It might escape it
altogether. Two false Interpretations were
nottcod, viz: that which quibbles at tho
word "punishment" and that which qulb
bles at the word "etornal." One of these
schools of thought holds that everlasting
punishment does not last forever. Unl
versalism believes, In substance, In tho old
notion of purgatory, which was borrowed
originally from heathenism and has been
pressed Into tho service of christian heresy.
But as the same Greek word is used to ex
press the duration of the happiness of tho
good as Is used to express the duration of
the punishment of the bad it Is a two
edged sword when thus interpreted, which
not only cuts a slice off the punishment oi
the bad but another one off the bliss of the
good. But as tho notion has no warrant of
unequivocal scripture truth, it nood not re-
ceivo further attontion, Eyen If Christ
did onco preach to lost souls in hell we
have no assurance that he will over do so
, again. And even If ho Bhould it wore
much better to embrace it heio. Tho
meaning of the word punishment Is a suffl.
cient answer to tho idle dreams of annibi-
latlonisls. lhe word connotes the twin
ideas of pain and ponalty. When eithor
of these ideas is absent It coasos to be pun
ishment. Christ suffered for our sins, but
strictly speaking he was not punished for
them, When consciousness ceases pal 1
ceases and punishment with it. If over
lasting nothingness was to be the penalty of
sin it is strange that Christ did not say so,
Itis,a striking fact that oxtlncti-in tho
everlast ng punisbmentof thoannlhllatlonis
was the supremo felicity of Buddhism
Thus we soo how human reason, when it
tampers with the plain toachiug of divine
truth.contradicts itsolf. But tho theory not
only contradicts itself, but It provos too
much. Tho annibilationist bolieves that
the souls of the good aro unconscious bo
tween death and the resurrection, and what
Is this but annihilation of limited dura
tion. Thus it would punish the good as
well as the bad. If tho unconscious sleep
ot the souls of tho good between death and
the resurrection is not punishment, so,
neither, is the unconscious sloep of the
souls of the bad through all eternity, pun
ishment. Moreover It contradicts tho plain
scriptural teaching concerning the dogross
of punishment of tho lost and onjoyment
ot the good by placing all upon the same
plane and reducing tho wholo question to
one ol more existence or nonexistence.
Thus It Also misinterprets eternal lifo which
is "to know" to apprehend and enjoy
"Thee, the only true God and Jesus Christ
whom thou has sent," A picture- was then
presented of tho solemn sconus of that final
day when families will be broken and an
eternal farewell must be said; sotno boing
consigned to everlasting punishment and
como balng admitted to comDanlonshln
wun tne.inunlto.

CONTRACT LABOR
A REPORT IN CONNECTION
WITH IT
AND THE PENNSYLVANIA MINES
Contract Labor Inspectors Conk-
llng and Osborne Say American
Minors Aro Crowded Out
by Imported Labor.
Ointract labor Inspectors C .inkling and
Osborne, who wore sent from New York to
tho mining districts of Penns. lyania to
investigate the workings of the alien con
tract law, have sent their report to Secre
tary Foster, of tho Treasury Department.
Their report states that they discovered
evidences of wholosale violation of tho
law that was framed to protect American
wnrkingmen.
In the mines surrounding Scrantnn it
was found that nine-tenths of tho miners
at present employed are Hungarian!.
Italians and Slavs. Fivo years ago the
minors there woro nearly all Americans.
At tho Arion mine in Western Pennsylva
nia, it-jor Osborne learned that Hungarian
and Italian immigrants come theie in
squads of 200 at a timo, direct from the
Barge office in Now York, under charge of
padrones.
At the mines near Carbondalo in 1886
there were COO miners, all Americans.
While tho minors' striko was on in 1889-90
large numbers of Sluvs and Hungarians
were brought to the minos from Castle
Garden undor the protection of Pinkerton's
detectives. At the last election out of 787
miners employed there just sixty-oight
wero entitled to vote.
The inspectors found that immigrants
wero brought over from Europe In droves,
passod through the Barge ofllce by an agent
and taken to the mine to supersede Ameri
can miners. There are several men em
ployed by the mine owners whose solo duty
is to visit tho Barge office and get imml-g-ant
contract laborers passed through:
One man in particular was nicknamed the
"Much-Cousin Man," as he would visit
tho Barge office and secure the release of
detained immigrants, claiming them as
cousins, brothers or other relatives.
The inspectors recommend more stringent
sciutiny of immigrants p ssing through
the different landing places. At present,
they say, the law is practically usoless as
contract laborers pass through by thous
ands without detection.
A. Correction.

partly to sickness the lecture of the ltev.
