text the words "God forbid that
should glory save in the cross of our
Lord Jesus Christ"
After referring to the historical facts
which called forth these words from
Paul Mr.. Hughes said that the apostle
had a backbone in his religion and q
soul inspired from above. While false
teachers were promulgatiug heresy in
Galata, Paul stood erect. and with the
accent of conviction, and the emphasis
of q soul in earnest he said, GOD
forbid that / should glory save in the
cross" 1t Is pleasing to find a person
prepared to stand UP for the right
when error has become fashionabl
A dead fish can go down with the cur
rent. but there must be life in the fish
before it will go up against the stream.
SYMBOL OF INFAMY.
The cross in those days was the SYM
Dol of infamy. but on account of one
sao-0d sacrifice offered thereon the
cr.es has become the emblem of every
NiLE holy: hence Paul said he gloried
in it, and there are thousands of de-
vout hearts in every zone of this roll
ing globe who echo the same senti-
ments
OUt TtdSOH WHY we SnOulu SlOIy III
the cross is because here we have q
true picture of man in his sinful state
here sin doeth like itself appear. Most
men will confess that they are sinners,
but none of us feel the real sinfulness
of sin unless we look at the cross.
There we see the darkest deed ever
perpetrated by man-there the moral
disease from which the world was
dying reached its acme.
The world abounds with monuments
to the fact that the human race have
revolted from God but Calvary is the
only place where the Nervousness of
that revolt is portrayed in it's right
color. If a man desires 20 know his
moral condition he should see himself
as portrayed in the crimson deed OF
those who crucifieG the Son of God.
A recognition of his condition and
confession Of his guilt will ensure his
forgiveness and eternal redemption.
Another reason why we should glory
in the cross is that here we see Gods
gracious Intentions towards the inhab-
itants of this earth. on Calvary we
not only see what man is toward God,
but we see what God is toward man.
JUSTICE AND MERCY MET.
We see here the cooperation of the
divine attributes for the redemption Of
fallen humanity. On the cross, Justice
and Mercy met together, and right
eousness and peace kissed each other.
Here we also see the crowning act
of divine love. The prince of glory
laying down His life for the salvation
of a rebel world. The cross is the only
lever that can lift this sin-stained
apostate world up into purity, peace
and glory. The sermon was literally
enriched with suitable and telling an
ecdotes and illustrations.

SUCCESSFUL MEETING.
Conducted in the Lyceum Theatre
Under the Direction of the Y.
M. G. A.-Address by
F. w. Pearsall.

That the Young Mems Christian as
sociation has struck the right line for
it's religious work, was evident from
the crowd Of more than eight hundred
men which packed the lower part of
the house and nearly filled the balcony
in the Lyceum theatre yesterday af-
ternoon. Three selections We're rend-
cred by Bauer's military band in a
way to delight the audience. The over
ture from Rossini's "Stabat Mater"
by Mercadante. was particularly inn
pressive and formed a fitting prelude
to the earnest and forceful talk given
by Secretary F. w. Pearsall on '1Citi-
zenship."
Mr.. Pearsall compared the entrance
into the Christian life to taking out a
citizenship in this country. To do the
latter, man must change his name
his national name-his language and his
allegiance. So he who enters the heav-
emily kingdom becomes, first of ALL a
Christian. higher citizenship, and Il
more important one than American or
any other citizenship.
There is only one flag, he said, which
is ever allowed to float over the Stars
and Stripes in the American navy. And
that flag is pure white one with a
blood red cross in it's centre, raised on
the ship when the chaplain holds re-
ligious services. This is to signify that
above it's own authority and power our
government puts the government of
God and Its citizenship.
AS foreigner must particularly and
definitely renounce all allegiance to his
former sovereign, so he who would
enter this citizenship must renounce
the devil and definitely declare his al
legiance to Jesus Christ. The moment
he honestly does so he becomes a citi-
zen of the better country and is heir
to all it's privileges.
At the close of the meeting more
than 1000 tickets were requested and
We're given out for next Sundays
meeting, which is to be addressed by
Rev. /. ]. Lansing, D. D., whose re.
marks are to be in the nature Of d

SIZE OF COMMITTEE.

Like many big undertakings it is not
surprising that this one should be for
warded with danger of making
some big mistake at the start. 1t has
been proposed by o. few firemen that
the executive committee shall consist
of enough members to include one rep
resentative from each fire company
in the city. Such an unwieldy COM
mittee would, on account of SO many
members, threaten the success Of the
convention. Those who advocate 1t do
so honestly, and will probably change
to the wiser and more practical plan
which contemplates committee of not
more than five members, with a sal
aried manager for its head
The makeup OF the executive COM
mittee is one Of the matters which
will receive the attention of Friday
nights meeting.

Another meeting of fremen was held
yesterday afternoon in Nay Aug engine
house to arrange for matters relating
to the firemen's state convention, to
be held in this city this fall. 1t was
hoped that a permanent organization
would be effected. but this was de-
ferred until Friday evening. when
meeting will be held at the same place.
Today the temporary secretary will
request each company in the city to
elect two delegates to act with the
general convention committee. II will
be requested that these delegates pe
given full power to act in making the
convention plans.
The report recently submitted by the
committee on ways and means was
adopted, with the exception Of q sin
gle provision of one of it's paragraphs.
This paragraph suggested the armory
as the place for holding a big fair in
May for the purpose of raising con-
vention funds. The place met with ap-
proval, but it was the sense Of yester-
days meeting that the armory was
not wholly suitable for the purpose.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-01-09
FAIR IN MAY.

There was q general agreement that
the fair might better be held in a tenn
porary structure or "wigwam," espcc-
tally constructed for the purpose. Sew
eral sites were suggested, but the Y.
NJ. G. A. plot on Wyoming avenue.
opposite the Westminster hotel was
looked upon with the most favor, both
on account of its central location and
its size. tits proposed to hold the fair in
May and during a period of about three
weeks, as that length of time would
be required Cor special night for each
company.
1t was informally decided yesterday
subject to approval Friday night
to ask each of the district passenger
agents in this city to serve on the
railways committee. The advice and
help which these men can give will,
it is believed have a considerable eff
feet on the size of the crowds which
come to the convention from outside
the city. That the railroads will do all
in their power to aid the committee
and the convention project is assured
by the fact that the profits of the rail-
roads convention passenger traffic will
hinge upon work in concert with the
convention committee.
