The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-02-25

side musical attractions are booked for
this series of meetings, but thus far
the orchestra under Professor Chance
have outshone the out-of-town aggre-
cations. The speaker at this service
will be the Rev. Maltbie Davenport
Babcock, d. D., the pastor OF the
Brown Memorial Presbyterian church,
of Baltimore. DIR. Babcock is regard
ed as one of the leading preachers in
the Presbyterian church OF this coun-
try, and a recent issue of the New
York Sun speaks of him as being prom
inently mentioned as the successor OF
the famous DR.. John Han, OF new
York. 1t is safe to predict that no
address in the splendid series arranged
by the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton for these meetings will arouse
deeper interest than this one.

The following editorial is from {
Baltimore paper and is from the per
of Rev. Dr. NJ. d. Babcock, who will
occupy the pulpit of the Second Pres
byterian church on Sunday. 1t is
unique and quaint analogy of the pre-
sent situation with regard to the isl
ands of the sea:
