His text was taken from John xxxvi1
and read as follows: = Then Jesus
turned and saw them following and
saith unto them. What seek YET?
They said unto him, Rabbi (Which is
to say, being interpreted, mastery
where dwellest thou7'" Concerning
these words Rev. Spieker said:
Andrew, the follower of st. John,
heard these words, Andrew, who had
been the follower of that stern teach
er, John the Baptist.
John was no mild or easy master.
He did not preach the word of the
Lord in sweet and honeyed tones, but
rather spread the true gospel in a
rugged manner and ever resounded
the one vibrating text, Repent ye, re-
pent we for the kingdom of heaven is
at hand
He preached alike to publican and
laborer, to the rich and the poor, the
covetous and the envious, with no dis
elimination of class or creed.
such preachings are sore needed In
these days of ease and comfort when
there is no desire but for religion to be
made easier and means of securing it
more ample.
when Andrew heard the words of
the Saviour he departed and straight
way went to the home of his brother
and, assuring him that the Messiah
had come to earth. converted him into
another follower of the Holy Nazareth.
Now people desire to reach heaven
in the same way that they live and
gain the spiritual heights with the
least possible difficulty.
But no, they must first tread the
hard path, strewn with the rocks and
boulders of adversely. 1t is said Of
our great president, Abraham Lin
coin, that on passing unknown through
crowd of men, one seeing his odd,
strange face, remarked: Heavens,
what a common looking man. The
martyr president turned his sad, mel
ancholy eyes on the thoughtless speak
er and quietly remarked: But the
Lord loves the common people
at is true. The Lord does love the
common people, and he works by
them. He does not use as his ennis
saries and instruments those high in
power and place, but rather the lowly
and downcast.
"Them he employed in his work and
in the upbuilding of the walls of Zion.
There is not enough true promulgating
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-12-18

from the use of the house of the
Lord without any regard to others.
1T is our duty to distribute to others
the same good which we ourselves re-
ceive and unless we do so our mission
is in vain and our life's work is moth
ing. Let us look into our hearts AMI
see what is there. Let us probe into
the depths of our cOnsciences and see
what is hidden therein. Have we
spread the word of the Master? Have
we promulgated and taught the true
gospel? Let us act as did the disci-
Piles. Let us follow the example of
Andrew and even as he led his brother
into the fold of the true believers, so
let US take our wandering brethren
by the hand and bring them to a real
ization of the one God.
Lastly, let us strive for a holier
living and a better life"
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-12-18

Of the gospel now, as in the days of
yore. AS Andrew spread the gospel
and worked to make known the word
of the Lord, so should we now. How
many are there who attend church SIM
ply from social or political interests
they have at stake? How many are
there who. while faithfully attending
services themselves, never make step
nor move a hand to bring a brother
to a realization of the Gospel and the
Lord?
where can we find Jesus? Not in
the churches that pander to the popu-
lar taste with sensational topics or
matters of current interest, and every
thing but what belongs to the Bible.
No, not in these false temples of the
Lord but in the gospel itself True re-
ligion brings it's own reward. How
many claim to have found Jesus are
content to enjoy the benefits accruing

The lectures by Elder John NJ. Whit
aker, of Utah, yesterday afternoon on
"Mormonism, What it Is, Why OPP
posed" and last evening on Social
and Religious Life Among the Nor
MONS" which were given in Co-opera-
tive hall, were attended by many
prominent persons and the closest at
tention was given as the various phases
of the questions were discussed.
Elder Joseph Finlinson, who lives at
100 South Sumner avenue, this city,
presided, and at the close of each lee
ture Mormon literature was distributed,
and a number expressed themselves as
surprised at the doctrines Of Mormon
ism as expressed.
At the formal opening exercises,
Elder Whitaker spoke as follows:
"There is less correct information
among the people on the Mormon ques-
tion than most any other subject
known. Many people are almost hope
lessly prejudiced because they have
read only the perverted statements
contained in books and reports from
avowed enemies, and have never heard
the Mormon view. AS honest investi-
cation is sought. and the truth con-
cerning Mormonism shall be fully
known. the unjust prejudice so un-
worthy the American people will be re-
moved and people will be less willing
to believe all the vile ISLANDERS Circu-
lated against the Mormons.
WHERE THE TERM CAME FROM.
THE term Mormon was given the
church of Jesus Christ of Latter-DaY
Saints by their enemies as a stigma,
the same as the followers of Christ
were at first stigmatized by the name
Christian The word Mormon was de-
rived from q book by that name-a
record of Gods dealings with His peo-
pie on this continent from GOO B. c.
until 500 A. d. 1t gives an account of
the people during that period of time,
of their habits, customs, religion, rise,
progress, civilization and of their de-
cadence. until now only the remnant is
found in the American Indian. The
unearthing of the great cities by archie
illogical societies are silent witnesses of
the advanced stage of civilization of
prehistoric America. The Book of
Mormon is the only book accounting
for these things, and is therefore one
of the most remarkable books in ex-
istence.
THE Mormon belief is based on the
atonement of Jesus Christ. 1t teaches
that after the crucifixion of Jesus, the
killing of His apostles and the early
Christians, that the gospel was takeI
from the earth. In harmony with
prophecy, it has been restored to the
earth by direct command of God and
was re-established April g. 1880, through

FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week Nov. 9th. The brilliant American
comedian WILLIE COLLIER in his
latest comedy success "MR. SMOOTH" d.
rect from a great Metropolitan run, original
company etc.
The most genuine comedy success of the
season is the bright farcical play Mr.. Smooth
which will be seen for the first time in this
city at Ford's week of Nov. 9th, with the
ever popular Willie Collier in the title role.
The play Was written by Mr. Collier and
had its initial production in this country at
the Manhattan Theatre N. Y. early in the
season. Its triumph was immediate and
continued to delight the New York public
during the run of over ten weeks.
1t is by far the best performance of the
kind ever given by the favorte actor who
caught the fancy of laughing crowds last
season by his amusing play "The Man from
Mexico"
And while the public was crowding the
Manhattan Theatre, MIR. Collier was win
ming the highest praise of the New York
critics for his play, his performance and his
company.
1t is clean wholesome play full of breezy
lines and comic complications, admirably
acted by splendid company and the gay
DR. Smooth exactly in the line of the merry
actor.
1t will be presented here exactly as seen
in New York during its long run.

RAILROAD EXTENSION The officers Of
the Emmltsburg Railroad on Monday last
drove over the route Of the proposed exten-
sion of that road from its present southern
terminus at Rocky Ridge, to Woodsboro, a
point on the Pennsylvania railroad: the
distance is a. miles. The report of the ex-
animation is to the effect that so favorable
an impression came of it that survey will
at once le ordered The report further states
that by eliminating the Western Maryland
Railroad charges, one-half of the rate on
passenger, freight and express traffic between
Emmitsburg and Frederick will be saved.
While this is somewhat surprising, it will, if
found TO be an exact statement, prove to be
strong incentive to the building of the
extension. While it gives those from the
Emmitsburg section one less change of cars,
it would give all those west Of Rocky Ridge
on the W. NJ. r. r, one more, and as the
Frederick travel from Sabllasvillc, ,Deertield
Thurmont, Gracebam and Loys probably
exceeds that from Emmitsburg and Motters,
it will be necessary that the saving of six or
seven miles in distance, and presumably
proportonate saving in fare, should REM
burse them for undergoing the inconvenien-
ccs that our Emmi.sburg friends are aiming
to avoid.
