TOLD OF THE REDEMPTION.
Father Huntington Spoke at Mid

Father Huntington Spoke at Mid
day Service at st. Luke's.
A fair sized congregat ton, the ma
jority being men, attended the twenty
minute midday service at St. Luke's
Episcopal church yesterday. The SER
mon was delivered by Rev. joseph o.
S. Huntington, superior of the Order
of the Holy Cross, who is conducting
a series of special services at St Mark s
church in Dunmore.
Father Huntington's theme was the
sacred story of the redemption. He
referred to the love which passed all
understanding and led Jesus, the per-
feet man, to sacrifice Himself that the
sins of the world might be atoned.
He used many biblical truths to draw
out and throw into relief the beautiful
sentiment underlying all of the Saw
iour's acts. At the conclusion of the
sermon prayer was offered by the Rev.
Rogers Israel. Father Huntington will
speak at tOday's midday service.

sun was now but red blur on the edge
OF the world. His horses hoofs were
unified to indistinctness by the sandy
toileome soil. He rode slowly looking
alertly about him. As the last tinge OF
red faded from the sky and dusk settled
over the plain, he checked his horse on
the bank of a narrow stream which here
wandered across the arid land, thin
thread o. silver. margined with vivid
green. The horse splashed eagerly into
