A very interesting programme was
rendered yesterday morning at the
First German Methodist Episcopal

pastor of the church, then made an
address, taking as his subject, "The
Growth of Methodism." He traced the
history of Methodism from it's very be-
ginning and gave an interesting and
instructive talk.
The church itself was beautifully
decorated, masses of roses, laurels and
palms producing beautiful effect.

His magnificent voice filled the vast

BATTLE in WILDERNESS.
Sermon Preached by Rev. DR.. G. M
Giffin in Elm Park Church
Last Night.

Rev. Or. c.. NJ. Giffin, pastor of the
Elm Park Methodist Episcopal church,
delivered the first of a series of four
sermons last evening on THE Battle
in the Wilderness" giving an eloquent
description of the causes leading up
To the tempting of Christ by the devil.
He stated in beginning that the di-
vine purpose in having Jesus tempted
was that He might be proved. The
question was to be settled, whether He
should light or falter." said he. Re-
ferring to the fact thai He had been
sent by God the father into the des-
ert, he said: Just think of the
change. After Christ had been bap-
Ii2ed and His apostles had Eeen told
by God in a voice from heaven, This
is my beloved Son. He was asked by
the evil one If Thou be the son of
God? Instead of being driven out to
teach the people He was driven into
the wilderness to be tempted. How
many of us are driven into these same
horrible transitions. W.. may be walk
ing one instant in the PATHS of peace,
with the birds singing and everything
happy, and in a moment we may
plant our feet on burning sands and
there may be consuming skies over
head"
Referring to the up-to- date theologi-
cal theories concerning the devil DIR.
Ciffin said: II am not prepared to
admit that when Jesus spoke to Satan
he was not speaking to a speaking,
acting. living being. Ur-to-date theo-
logians like to refer to the devil as
being simply a figure representing the
persC nification of all evil forces. 1
have , old fashioned idea that the
devil referred to in the Bible is an
actual being and not merely a rhet-
orical figure of speech"
Continuing, DR.. Giftin said: You
will notice that when Jesus repulsed
Satan he did not say goodbye to him,
as some of us do when we receive the
spirit of the Lord. My friends, none
of us can say farewell to the evil
one only when we are within the houS-
ing of heaven.
This battle should appeal TO us for
| three reasons:
"First--It is interesting; interesting
| because of the parties engaged and
| because 1t was a contest that involved
the destinies of all immortal souls.
"Second-This battle was inevitable.
Rough old DR.. Joseph Parker has said
| that there isn't any man alive who
| is not at all times in the hands of the
devil. Every human soul must so
| down in it's own wilderness and face
| the solicitation of the evil one if 1t
would he truly g eat.
"Third-This ba, lie was inspiring.
IT has been said that Adam turned
| Paradise into a wilderness and that
Jesus turned a wilderness into Para
disc. That wilderness was the only
place IN all the ages where man has
not fallen. Christ had no weapon to
| heat back the evil one but the spirit
| of God within Him."

Editor of The Tribune

fultOr OF Inc Tribune
Sir: ! deeply sympathize with those in our

mOur, Mr.. Seymour lived for some wears In KIM
bcrley on the diamond fields South Africa dur
ing which time he was the chief mechanical en-
Gineer for the DE Beers Diamond Mining COM

ability, and the inhabitants generally respected
him very much When ne left Kimberley for
London, where he ably filled position as con.
sulting engineer, the people on the diamond

superintcndents of the engineering contingent for
the reconstruction Of railroads, cuverts, bridges

The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-06-18

The several convicted speakeasy
keepers who were arrested at the in
stance of the Mems union of Green
Ridge were sentenced on Saturday. and
in each instance the sentence imposed
was about as heavy as the law al
lows. The judges in imposing these
sentences also delivered well-deserved
rebukes to the prisoners.
j. j. Mangan, when arraigned before
Judge II. NJ. Edwards, appealed for
mercy through his attorney, John p.
Qninnan. Mangan is a cripple, hence
the appeal. The judge stated that he
did not like the idea OF granting the
prisoner any mercy, but felt that he
must. you are guilty of the great
crime of perjury" said he. You went
on the stand and swore that you did
not sell liquors. notwithstanding the
fact that for four or five years you

A plea for clemency in the case of
Zeuo Lopatnyer wGS made by Attorney
Bunnell, but was not considered for a
moment by Judge Archibald, who SEN
fenced him TO pay $500 fine and to

naugh started an earnest appeal for
lcinency, urging that business had
| been poor and that he had been un-
able to pay for his license the second
year, and that his wife was sick, etc,
etc.
Judge Archibald was beginning to get
sympathetic when Mr.. Torrey, counsel
for the Mems union, stepped forward
and informed him that he had evil
dence to the effect that Cavanaugh
mad sold since his arrest and that his
wife was not sick, all of which could

cd last week in The Tribune. This
| knocked the pins" out of Cavanaugh's
appeal and he was sentenced to $500
| fine. costs and six months in the Jail.
Attorney Joseph O'Blien represent
| ing Benjamin ArnovitZ, asked for a
suspension of sentence until the next
term OF court, so that his client might
have chance to wind up his busi-
ness affairs. Court refused to grant a
| continuance and Arnovitz was sem
fenced to $500 fine and three months
| IN the county Jail.

.mpracticahie, and at the last we were
compelled 10 deal with a practical ques-
ten in a practical way.
The Philippine question is a political
question. For our par; we would like to
see the Ffip.nos have an Independent re-
public, but Il. as the ant!-imperlaists say,
they are not fit to become citizens of the
United States because they are incapable
of measuring mp TO the requirements OF
American citizenship, Incapable OF compre-.
henlia- The American idea Of consltl1-
t.onsl government, how can we reasonably
hope that they can maintain republic OF
;.eir own2 How long will II be before We
can establish in those islands q stable gov
eminent and tip cur hats 10 the foster
republic of the East? Let Cuba answer.
There are two courses open to the United
states Government: One is to haul down
our flag AT once, withdraw our troops and
tcli the Filipinos 10 make the best terms
they can with Aguinaldo and shift for
themselves. The other is TO suppress the
Instruction, establish stable government
and-but that is an undertaking which will
require many years in its accomplishment,
and as for the problems thereafter. we
must solve them as we reach them. The
Times holds that the final disposition of
the Philippine question is so remote that
It is impossible at this time 10 deal intelli-
gently with il. We said in our enthusiasm
that Cuba should be free. But who can
say when that promise will be fulfilled?
Cuba is one island al our very doors and
under the shadow Of our wings. The Phil
ippines are thousand islands on the other
side of the Pacific, under the shadow Of
foreign Powers and ertangied in the com
plcations Of European diplomacy.

THEORY AND PRACTICES.

We greatly enjoyed the scholarly and
patriotic speech which Hon. David s. Hill
delivered here on Tuesdassnight I; was.
as We said yesterday, an able exposition
OF the Constitution. a glorious rindication
Of Democratic principles Mr.. Hits ,heo-
rizing on colonial government was heauti-
fn!. but It must be confessed that in deal.
Ing with the practical question involved in
our possession of The Philippines. his theo-
~ Was ionnd wanting. He agrees With
Mr.. Bryan that The Filip!aos should have
an independent government OF their own.
md ins.sts that The United States mus,
establish il for them and forever there
after protect tae,n from foreign invasion.
Aye, there's the rub. II reminds us of The
Way. we rirg!nians used 10 talk about our
State debt. We insisted that the debt
ought 10; be paid to the last dollar. and
ne said tina. ii should be paid But some
a,on pay dag never came and after years
OF agitation and distress. during which
Virginia was tern asGnde,i, politically
speaking. ne all came 10 the conclusion
