elders-"giving to the Lord that which

young enough to teach Gods claim upon
our substance. So long as children are
encouraged to spend their dimes and
nickels for candy and give their pennies
in Sunday school, so long will they grow
up to spend their dollars upon themselves

The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-04-10

In the Green Ridge Baptist church
yesterday morning the Rev. W. j.
Ford delivered a striking sermon on
the sin Of covetousness lie took for
his text the words found in Ephesians
verse 81 For this ye know of a sure
ty that no fornicator nor unclean per-
son nor Covetous man, which Is an
idolater hath any inheritance in the
kingdom of Christ and of God"
Paul, In the first verses of this chapter,
has been giving a list of sinners who by
common consent have no claim to re-
spectibility. 1t is something of sur
prise to us to find that he places the
covetous man I'm this list He even goes
further and declares that this man is an
idOlatcr and as such has no part in the
kingdom of Christ and of God. ] asked
when my attention was directed to this
verse, Isn't there some mistake here?
Have the trarslators given us the cor
rect rendering Of that which Paul wrote?'
But found here the word that the leNi-
cons tell us means "One eager to have
more especially Of that which belongs
to others
There was no mistake, Paul had said
1t. But | asked can II be true? Isn't Il
covetous man a Christian? Has he no
God? Hasn't Paul, impel1ed by the intcns-
ity of his emotions. allowed a statement
to slip into this passage that is not en-
dorsed by other Scripture? But | found
that i'm Colossians iii, 5-6, and l COrinth-
ians vi, $40, as elsewhere, he places the
covctOus man in the same evil company
chasing him with those whom we regard
as fit only for states prison in this life
and torment in the next Peter, James
and John rank this sin with sins of inn
purity and pronounce the same woes
upon those who are guilty of it. Christ
himself said mark vii, 2l-2D For from
within out Of the heart of men proceed
evil thoughts; adulteries, foundations,
murders, thefts, covetousness, wicked
ness, deceit lasciveousness, an evil eye
blasphemy pride fcolishness." This then
is the authority of the strong statementa
of his disciples But go back to the
Psalms and here covetousness is spoken
of as "the sin that God abhoCs.' Go still
turther back and here amid the thund.

LABORlNG MEN.
Senator Lodge Tells Why He Believes
They Are Mistaken.


Springfield, Jan. Ex-senator Lodge,
in a personal letter to Henry Healy,
secretary OF the Cigarmakers' Union of
this city, tells why he believes the la
boring men are mistaken in their OBJ
position to the administration policy.
The letter:
My Dear Sir:-I have received your
letter of the 18th and shall, of course,
be happy to present the resolutions
which you inclose to the Senate, but
think your opposition to the ratification
of the treaty proceeds on enirely mis-
taken grounds. / do not know of any
one who proposes to incorporate the
Philippine islands with the body polite
of the United States or to bring them
within our tariff, thus putting their
labor in direct competition with any
American industry. BY the fortunes of
war we have assumed a great respon-
sibility in those islands, which as a
nation we must meet
/ am in favor of a prompt ratification
of the treaty with Spain, because
wish to see conditions of peace re-
stored and the settlement of the ques-
tons growing out of the war placed
within the power of congress,
which cannot be while the state of war
continues.
The treaty commits the United States
to no policy whatever in regard to the
Philippines, and no disposition can be
made of those islands except by con-
gressional legislation, which you may
be sure will represent the wishes of
the American people. If the reasons
which you give for your opposition
rested on correct premises, they would
be of the very greatest weight to my
mind, but l am sure that the grounds
on which you base them are mistaken,
for the ratification of the treaty leaves
the islands as they now are, under
military government, and enables the
United States to determine then what
shall be done with them and what re-
lations they shall bear to us. Very
truly yours, H. c. Lodge

WANDERING CANOE COMES.

Western Canada in July, 1894, writes
as follows:
II brought here thirty-four head OF
cattle, fifteen horses. two wagons. two
sets Of harness and one hundred and
fifty dollars in cash. I homesteaded
the southeast quarter Of Section ~.
Township 40, Range 26. west of he 4th
Meridian, also purchased a quarter
section Of Canadian Pacific Railway
land. I have been farming more or
less all my life, and I am convinced
that you can raise crops 40 per cent
cheaper here than where !, came from.
My capital at present, counting every
thing, is about five thousand dollars.
The yield Of my grain all round In 1897
was 60 bushels per acre. This year
(1sss) yield of wheat per acre, S7t
IS. and potatoes. 400 per acre.
I consider that this is a much
better country for a man than
where I came from, provided he is in
du%strious. You get q free homestead
here, and Canadian Pacific Railway
lands are cheap and the terms easy.
I have now made my seventh payment
on the land purchased by me. and am
much pleased with my purchase, as the
land has already much more than paid
for itself. School law here is decidedly
ahead Of where. I came from, and there
are schools wherever there are set

Light In the window.

Someone once wrote a sensational
song about the Light in the window
for me-" and ever since that time the
eight in the window" has figured In
poetry and song to a greater extent,
and in more sensational manner, than
1t is entitled to. The cold truth is that
when there is a light in the window it
means someone is sitting up to give
the last one to come in a scolding or
advice about the good sense of going
to bed earlier. AgNght in the window
is something that a nagged person new
er fails to see, and when his eyes first
e it in turning a corner he gets a
cold chill and longs for q home in a
boarding house. The "light-in-the-wln-
dow" sentiment is badly overdone.-

Wise Man.

It was a pretty little incident, and
true. An old couple from the East
were visiting their son in this city. If
the mother gets out of sight of the
father he is constantly asking for her,
and is not content until they are to-
gether again. The other evening she
went to another part Of the house
while he was in the parlor, and, after
he had asked for her half a dozen
times. the son said, rather Guilty:
"It seems as though you couldn't be
without mother five miutes at a time"
you're right" said the old gentle
man, slowly. ''That's the reason !
