SERMON BY REV. c. j. COOPER.
Delivered Last Night in the Holy
Trinity Lutheran Church.

Rev. G. j. Cooper, treasurer and
financial agent of Muhlenberg college.
Allentown, occupied the pulpit in Trim
ity Evangelical Lutheran church on
Adams avenue yesterday morning and
evening and preached to attentive au-
dences at both services.
His text last evening was | Peter iv,
1913, on the sufferings of the Chris
tians in America. The epistle of Peter
was addressed to the Christians scat
tered here and there throughout the
Roman empire, where, because of their
Christian faith and practices they We're
subjected to prosecutions from Jew and
Gentile-hence the apostles wrote words
of encouragement and admiration
Think it not strange concerning the
fiery trial which is to try you as
though some strange thing happened
unto you, but rejoice inasmuch as ye
are partakers of Chrst's sufferings."
These words do not apply to the
Christians in America today in the
same way for here in this Christian
land we are enjoying freedom from al
prosecutions, from Jew and Gentle
and are allowed to worship God accord
ing to the dictates of our own con
sciences. And yet the Christians o
America have sufferings also, but they
are chiefly sef-imposed, owing to tn,
sinful conditions in which they ar,
born and still live.
The apostle admonished the Chris
tians. not to suffer as a murderer, or a.
| a thief, or as an evildoer, or as busy

WEEK NOT APPROPRIATE.
Local CIergymen Do Not Favor This
Season OF the Year For
Week of Prayer.

The Evangelical boards selection of
this week for the week of prayer
throughout the United States does not
meet with general favor in Scranton,
The time is considered inappropriate
and there will be no general observ
ance of the week in the city's churches.
though a number of congregations will
follow the recommendations of the
board.
In the central city the Second Pres
byterian church will be the only one
of the large congregations to hold the
nightly worship.
Rev. DR.. James Mcleod, of the First
Presbyterian church, said to a Trib-
une reporter: "The officers of our
church believe, and | concur with them,
that this is not the proper season for
a week of prayer; it will be observed
in our church the last week in Lent.
Just now merchants are busy with
their inventories and they would find
it almost impossible to attend several
services in week. Home circles are
occupied, too, with the entertainment
of young men and women from the
colleges and this is a part of the Christ =
mas festival season when parties and
other social doings are in progress. We
believe Lent is the proper time; the
season is appropriate then"
The same sentiment was expressed
by Rev. DR.. Dixon, pastor of the Penn
Avenue Baptist church. He remarked
that during Lent was the most oppor-
| tune time, both from a worldly and a
church point of view. No week has
however, been selected by the Penn
Avenue church.
The topics selected by the EVangel-
iCal board are as follows: Tonight
"Humiiation and Thanksgiving" to-
morrow light, The Universal
! Church." Wednesday night, Nations
and Rulers" Thursday night Mis-,
sions;" Friday night, Families and
Schools"
Union services will be held on th5
| West Side as follows: Monday evening
in the Plymouth Congregational chape
at 7.45 p. m, conducted by Rev. j. p
Moffatt; Tuesday in the First Baptist
| church. Scranton street, 745, conducted

Episcopal church, led by Rev r. Bell

Supposed Insane Man Sent to the
County Prison Repeatedly.

Martin Kelly, of Carbondale, was
sent to the county Jail Saturday for
thirty days by Mayor Bailey for being
drunk and trying to effect an entrance
into Spruce street store.
That charge of attempted burglary
was not preferred against him is eX-
planned by the fact that he is, accord
ing to the police docket, a little off in
his upper story. He has been fire.
quently arrested in Carbondale and
several times before in this city. The
county Jail officials demur against car
ing for him, as they claim he should
be in an ainsane asylum and not a
prison. 1t was proposed yesterday
that he be sent to the Hillside Home
but there was some doubt as to
whether or not he was a charge on
this district or Carbondale. When the
question is settled it is probable that
he will be removed from the Jail and
placed where he can receive treatment
betitting his case.

SHE KNEW WHAT TO DO.

In some unknown manner Stainslaus
Yoschkovick, of Remington avenue. had
his hand severely crushed by a Della
ware and Hudson passenger train at
7.25 Saturday morning near the Steel
Works station. The train was stopped
and the train hands upon picking the
injured man up found that his right
hand was bleeding prOfusely. A wo-
man who was passenger on the train
observed this, and taking two hand
kerchiefs from her pocket, she tightly
bound the arm above the wounds and
materially lessened the flow of blood.
Yoschkovick was taken to the Lack

body in other mems matters. Now
while Christians are not guilty, as n
general thing, of murders, thefts and
other lawless actions, yet the root of
murder and gross deeds of vice and
crime is the want of love in the heart
for ''he that hateth his brother Is a
murderer" 1t is a deplorable fact that
there is a great want of love in the
hearts of many professed Christians.
While none of them would stoop to
murder and theft, yet the spirit of ha
tired and covetousness still found in
many hearts, subjects these people to
suffering, and rightly so.
For that is what is done with mur-
derers and thieves. But the great
trouble with every class of people is
that there are so many busy bodies
in other mems matters"-and a good
deal of the church troubles of today
must be ascribed to the busy body.
