Rev. J. b. Sweet presided and prayer
was offered by President Northup.
Special music was rendered, a song
service was enjoyed. and VIII Betterly
rendered a violin solo.
The subject assigned to his honor
was "Are We Doing Our Best?" In
opening his talk, the mayor took oc-
casion to apologize to his hearers for
being somewhat out of place, but
before he had concluded his remarks
ii was apparent to all who heard him
that he is a well-verSed Biblical stu
dent and Is as much at home in the
church as in the executive chamber
"'rha air is charged with duty at
this time" said the mayor, land in
the present campaign of national and
local importance the Christian who
does not exercise the right Of fran-
chise is neglecting his duty as Chris
tian. The Lord has done more for
America than any other country or
people, for which wa all feel grateful
and the sun does not shine or more
favored land.
II have heard so-called Christians
assert that they would not go to the
polls, because they imagine the cleo
tons are conducted by unreliable men.
but / say If America will be what it
ought 10 be. they will do what is ex-
rcctcd of them. their duty to their
country and themselves. The bless
ings that result from Christian duty
nre brought about by personal sacri-
flee.
II am afraid we are not all doing
our duty. Christian people no doubt
like every body else, need an awaken
ing every now and then. and we are
To blame If We don't do our duty.
There would be no necessity for chur-
shes If we would all do cur religious
duty. We make our lives miserable
by our own conduct, and We must not
forget olr duty.

Peter HOLIDAY, son of j. u. Hob
day, OF Brook street, was accidentally
shot on Saturday afternoon while
hunting in Pike county. Mr.. HOLIDAY,
In company with Ralph Watrous, also
Of this borough. was at point known
as Knob Hill, which is desolate
country, and several miles from any
settlements.
He suddenly fell and his companions
realized that he had been shot. He
found that a bullet, evidently one OF
the high-power modern cartridges, had
struck Holiday in the ankle, making
serious wound. With assistance the
injured man slowly and painfully
made his way three miles and was
brought to Scranton Saturday night,
being taken directly to the Moses
Taylor hospital.
Yesterday the surgeons probed for
the ball, but were unable to find 1t,
1t having taken an upward course at
ter penetrating some distance. An
other attempt will be made today,
which. it is hoped. will be successful.
Who fired the shot that wounded
HOLIDAY is unknown. Some OF the RI
fes using the class Of bullets such as
struck him carry several thousand
yards and the person with the gun
was probably long way off and prob
ably does not yet know the result Of
his shot.
