AFTERNOON LYcEUM MEETING.
Inspiring Gathering of Earnest Men
in the Theater.

The mild air and sunshine tempted
large numbers of men out for an at
ternoon stroll yesterday. and many OF
them as on other Sundays wound up
by attending the Lyceum mems meet
ing.
There is a remarkable drawing power
about large audience. The certainty
that a man will find it hard to get n
good seat, seems as strong AN induce.
ment to try for it as can be offered.
No doubt the spirit of trying t. get
what is in brisk demand accounts in
a measure for the large audience Of
yesterday afternoon.
The music was furnished by the As
sociation orchestra and the Ladies'
Cymbal Quartette of jamestown, y. Y.
The principal feature of the meeting,
however, was very able and original
discourse by Rev. John Robertson, of
Scotland. DR.. Robertson is editor of
the Scottish Christian, an important
publication in Scotland. and is devoting
a year of his time to evangclistic work
in America.
The subject chosen for the address
was Felix, the man who missed it."
Graphically he described the rise Of
Felix from bondage as Roman slave
to the governorship of a most import
ant Roman province. This rise the
speaker attributed to the fact that in
his youth he was a man of high ideals.
History proves this to be the case by
showing that Jonathan, the high
priest" a man of noble life, was his
intimate friend. But Felix took to

Mn. GULICK'S TALK.
Delivered in TIE Young Women's
Christian Association Rooms.

/SllNSlSu III w Nllltl )
Christian Association Rooms.
The meeting at the Young WOmen's
Christian association was largely at
tended yesterday afternoon. 1t WAS
addressed by Rev. Theodore Gulick,
who for eighteen years was a mission
ary in Japan, and is now visiting
friends in this city. Mr.. Gulick went
with great interest in the missionary
work. as his parents had been mis-
sionaries in Sandwich Islands.
His talk of the country, its people
and customs and the results of mis-
sionary work was very interesting. 4
large map added to the interest. He
told of the 1000 islands of the Japanese
empire and especially of the four large
ones where most of the population is
crowded. He corrected the notion that
it is a tropical country by showing
that it is in the same latitude as the
southern part of our country and that
Americans there wear the same cloth
ing as here, for while some parts are
warm others are cold, and the damp
ness of the air is penetrating. The
bright characteristics of the japanese
as we know them were described. The
rapid progress of civilization opened
the way for missionaries in many
places, but produced a superficial
adoption of "Ihe Western religion
There came a reaction against the in
roads of the new faith, but Mr.. Gulick
thinks the evangelical condition of the
church and people Is better now than
for several years, and better knowI-
edge of and sincerer faith in Chris
tianity is having its influence.
There are 500 missionaries now in
Japan besides many WHO give their
assistance In various ways. There are
thousands of fishermen along the
coast, and as many farmers in the
interior who have been reached by
Christian influence. Mr. Gulick paid
high tribute to the missionaries Of
Japan and told of the work of some Of
them. One efficient worker of the
Church Of England was a convert II
Mr.. Moody while in England, and after
that worked in the slums of London.
He was a wealthy young man, and
went to Japan at his own expense.
On the whole the outlook is encOurag-
ing for faithful native workers as Well
as missionaries.

There were four things that marked

Appended is the full text Of Judge e.
=. Smiths opinion in the John Glib
bons contempt OF court case, handed
down at Fridays session Of the super
ior court in Villiamsport.
In sustaining the finding OF the low
er court Judge Smith brushes away
the contentious OF the persecution that
the superior court was witho' jurts-
diction to review the case and limited
the question 1T issue to whether OF not
Mr.. Gibbons act constituted contempt
Of court.
The claim of the defense that the
election board is the court of last re-
sort, is unsound he says, and the section
on which tho claim is hypothecated is
in conflict with other sections of equal
force.
Judge Smith dispcses of the question
as to whether or not the oircnse was
committed 'in open court" by calling
attention to the fact that the defend
ants attorney read his answer--refus-
ing to obey the order of court-in open
court, in the presence Of the defendant,
which, IN Judge Smiths opinion, con-
stituted contempt, without going
farther into the matter. Having found
sary to discuss whether or not Mr..
Gibbons refusal to answer before the
examiners constituted a contempt.
The order accompanying the decision
directs Mr. Gibbons to surrender him
self forthwith to the sheriff of Lacka-
wanna. county to the end that the sem
tencc of the court be executed agans.
