that the gallery itself was crowded; !;
the enthusiasm was more pronounced
and the singing much better on ac-
count OF the increased numbers. The
session opened with spirited song and
devotional service led by Rev. Foster
U: Gift, of the Lutheran church.
Rev. w. III. Stubblebine acted as

OF these Christian martyrs and the
great necessity of immediate and gem

THE OVERFLOW MEETING.

Scrantonians flocked in such large
numbers to the three places of meet
ing last night that an overflow meet
ing in the lecture room of the Penn
Avenue Baptist church was necessary.
This was first suggested by the scores
of persons standing in the rear Of the
main floor in the Frothingham. The
Penn avenue doors were opened and
the crowd requested to pass into the
church. which adjons the theater.
Word was sent to the Academy of
Music and many who could not there
find desirable seats went to the church
on Penn avenue. Rev. Thomas Bell, of
this city. presided. Addresses were
made by, Rev. DR.. G.. B. Stewart Of
Harrisburg: Rev. John Griffiths, of the
Sumner Avenue Presbyterian church,
of this city. and others. A prayer and
praise service closed the meeting.

The rockingham was filled to over
flowing at the evening session. The
meeting was called one-half an hour
earlier than on the previous evening
and a few minutes later 1t was found
necessary to open the doors Of the lee
ture room of Penn Avenue Baptist
church in order to provide accommoda-
tions for those who could not obtain
seats. Accordingly an overflow meet
ing was begun there. which was ad-
dressed by Rev. G.. B. Stewart and
Others.

CHRISTIAN CITIZENSHIP

There was a time when ChristiaJf were
so busy with the hereafter that they left
to Satan the present kingdom. It's differ
ent now. II anyone says religion has no
right to interfere with politics, would be
like Ii Hung Chang and ask such per-
son some questions. Is a Christian not Z
citizen? Has he not equal rights with
everybody? Are the disciples not to be
the salt of the earth-what good would
salt do in heaven? II religion cannot
make society, the world and politics bet
ter-then the world has very little inter-
est In Its being here.
The preacher has the same rights as the
old prophets-to cry out against evil. I'm

There. Is a correct and a false idea Of
business. righteous and an unrlghteOhs
principle. i know 1t is very difficult TO-
draw the line between legitimate and
Is not thoroughly acquainted with what
he Is talking about must be very chary of
condemning this or that way Of making
money. which may seem to him to par.
yet there are some practices In business SO
glaringly inconsistent with the principle
Of righteousness that "the wayfaring men,
though fools, shall not err"
One OF the current false ideas OF busi-
ness IL founded in prevalent tendency to
attack fictitious valuations to property.
Examples of thls tendency abound. For
instance, assessments for the purpose OF
below the true value. This undervalua-
ton Is due to many causes. nearly every
one OF which Is at the bottom dishonest.
One fruitful W cause Is the false returns rms
property is not visible. If all property
were correctly reported on = uniform sys-
tenn of undertaking, I suppose that little
injustice would be done. But as it Is, our
taxes cover up an immense amount of
stealing. which no individual nor any one
board of assessors can prevent; and the
greatest evil resulting from these wrong
assessments Is the debasing Of the public
standard OF honesty and the debauchery
Of the private conscience. Cheating the
assessors will by many be rebuked with
wink and smile. In some quarters. 1t
Is considered stupidity to make honest re-
turns OF property for taxation. Neverthe-
less 1t is sheer stealing to seek to pay less
than ones true proportion of the taxes.
Another demoraliZing illustration Of fic-
titious valuation is often seen in what are
properly known as ''watered stock"
Water in stock Is usually an article of
adulteration. like water in milk. When
ever this means or any other is employed
to give an artificial appearance Of value,
where value does not actually exist, 1t Is
Objectionable for the simple reason that 1t
Is stealing. For the same reason "boom-
ing" which Is based on fictitious and not
on natural or real rises is the art of
thieves. Another example is presented in
current authorizations. We hear enough
Of them TO make an honest soul sick. We
hear of cows fat being palmed off as but
ter; cotton-seed oil sold as lard; chicory
for coffee. Some Of the mixtures may be
as wholesome as the originals, but that Is
not the point. The point Is that there Is q
cheat in the business a cheat which can
be made profitable only as long as the
public can be hoodwinked. Is this all
right, II 1t only succeeds? Not while the
eighth and ninth commandments stand
with God Almighty behind them.
SOME CURIOUS NAMES.
What shall we say about the business
and hearing" very curious names in
deed, and very curious the things that these
names represent. Yet we recognize these
institutions as institutions amongst us. as
part OF our commercial achinery 1t is
coming to be regarded as a natural thing
that there should be an undue, an unnat-
ural, an untruthful imitation OF the ~ 'ket

y Penobscot County man tells an
amusing boyish experience in the Lew
iston Journal. He and a young friend
went cunning one fine fall day. They
had old-fashioned, muzzle-loading guns.
and wadding was a necessary part of
the outfit.
We came across a big hornets nest
i'll Il tree, says the narrator, and boy
like climbed up and pulled il down FOL
wadding. We.talked about the merits
of different kinds of wadding. and de-
cided that hornets nests. a materlal
provided by nature, was the best. we
concluded TO lay in a good stock of 1t,
and began TO break it NJ.
From the inside of the nest we shooH
out a quantity of the biggest hornets
ever saw. the ferocious kind that have
black bands around Il long brown BODY;
but they were stiff, as if frozen, and
we didn't mind them at all. We turn
ed them all off, and n down to rest
and make our new wadding into nice
little rolls.
We sat talking in merry good hume
for Il while, when all of Il sudden FREQ
screamed like a Wild Indian and jump
ed as much as three feet from the
ground. He gave another yell and'
striking TO right and left on his thighs,
started on Il Wild run for home.
1t was the hornets. He had CHANGED
to sit down where a number OF them
fell, and they warmed up from contact
with his body, and he, 1t seems, warm
ed up from contact with theirs. Wad-
ding was a sore subject with him for
long time.

The New jersey law against profane
swearing has been in force for more
than two hundred years. The statute Of
which it is a part has been revised
many times. but the clause prohibiting
profanity has remained unchanged.
Therefore it cannot be justly regarded
as one Of The "LlGe laws" that We're Ell
acted long ago. and were permitted
through oversight to remain on the
books. The penalty is "A fine Of 30 cents
for each oath. only 4 few years ago Il
man was fined $3.50 for a string IF
oatilS. There is. however. in every
State quite a effective a law against
profanity a is written in any statute
Ii is not the rule Of right, for those whc
live rightly need no restraint against
Tie utterIncc OF oaths. 1t is the unWrit-
ten enactment Of good society that
there is no longer any such thing as
