to the central police station by Chief
OF Police Robling at $50 o'clock last
night, on the charge Of attempting to

nue..
The two little girls met Crossley last
night, while walking on Washington
avenue, near the Erie and Wyoming
Valley railway station. He induced
them to go in the rear of the station
with him, saying he wanted to talk to
them. AS soon as they We're in the
rear, he attempted to take hold of
them in an outrageous manner. The
two girls at last managed to break
away from him and ran TO their homes,
where they informed their parents.
Mr.. Marsh and Mrs. Hine then Wis
tied the home of Chief of Police Rob-
ling, on Gibson street, and stated the
case to the chief. The latter then went
to Crossley's home and took him to
the central police station. Mayor Moir
will give him a hearing this morning.

THE SUPPORTING POWER.
Topic of Rev. o. r. Beardsley's Ser
mon in the All Souls Universal
list Church Last Night.

Rev. o. r. Beardsley, of the All
Souls Universalist church. last night
chose as his theme, "The Supporting
Power" and gave a thoughtful sermon
upon the subject. He first declared
that while theory may be of some
avail, still it is not of the same value
as faith.
"Abraham's covenant with the Lord"
said he. with the results of great
benefit to all of his descendants was
not promise made by the Lord, but
was merely the fruit of the righteous
ness of faith. Faith without works,
however, is of no avail. Abraham's s
faith centered in the welfare of his
fellow men. Faith is the substance of
the things hoped for, the substance of
the things not seen. 1t comes from the
reading of the things of the future
or of the things which we have not
seen.
MANY men have faith but do not
show it. But it is the men who have
studied the life of Jesus Christ on
earth, who try to model themselves
after his pattern, who have striven to
closely emulate him, who may be said
to really have faith, and who daily
show the grand results of it.
Faith is shown in works. AS the
Lord said, They who act WELL from
no wish of faVOrs, of such is the king
dom of heaven. They are in error,
who seek happiness, looking forward
to it only in the future. They should
make the present happy and comfort
able and then they will truly enjoy
their lives. The passenger sitting in a
car with his ticket secure in his pocket
can look forward to the terminal point
of his journey with greater pleasure
than the wretChed Wanderer stealing
a ride on the rear platform. The far
mer with fields of growing grain, can
in a more pleasant prospective view
the future than he whose fields lie
fallOw.
and as regards faith in punish
ment, / may compare man to a tree.
Imagine, if a tree, which is being
pruned. could feel the cutting sensa-
tion, and should say, Why do you
tlSts; inspire me- you would answer
that it was for its own good, not for
the purpose of hurting it. And in the
fall when the tree let's drop its beauti-
full fruit, with which the boughs are
laden, it would thank you for having
pruned and so benefited it, In that
sense I have faith in punishment,
when all things will bear the fruits
of righteousness.
I'VE must have faith. If we be-
lieved that the men across the ocean
were doing naught but cheating us,
snap would go the bands of commerce.
If We believed that our neighbors on
Broadway and Wall street were cheat
ing us, there would be an end to all
business interchange. Everything de-
pends upon faith, and let us as Christ's
disciples try to live and die with
faith"
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-07-02

Before leaving for an extended trip
abroad, this summer, Rev. II. f. Y.
Pierce, of the Penn Avenue Baptist
church of this city, preached his fare
well sermon yesterday morning before
a large number of his parlshioners. He
chose as his text Cor, 1915, with en-
phasis upon the words, "The cup Of
blessing"
He said that strength of life was not
in our surroundings, in proficiency in
art, music or learning, not in positions,
wealth and power greater than that of
other men, but in character, developed
by communion with God. Character is
what we are in our noblest and most
spiritual moments. Even though we be
Il Homer or Shakespeare and have not
"the cup of blessing" we are devoid OF
the strength of life.
Then he spoke of David's eagerness
to put himself in harmony with the
divine spirit; how Jesus taught it when
he said, Blessed are the pure in
heart" and how q man without this
strength may be compared to the
musician and his lost chord"-waiting
long, troubled years for that grand
"amen" which he had struck, but lost.
He here touchingly compared the
loving mothers tender sympathy in
times of trouble to the angel of God
coming in the night TO our troubled
bedside and, laying her hand upon our
throbbing brows, comforting us by i'm
parting that strength which comes
from communion with God.
Although sin has robbed man of this
blessing ha will ppVpr hn hopnv I'll
it is regained, or he can come to say
with hope as did the musician, Per
haps 1 may find it in my eternal
home"
But this blessing we are all seek
ing" he continued, "will never be
found in this world or in the many
learned philosophers, except through
the earnest longing of the soul for
communion with God. The Bible is not
filled with heavenly blessings. No, it
tingles with joys and blessings for this
life. See what it says: Mark each
passage which is a guide for this life
and you will find every page marked.
Learn to live now-to put your soul in
rapport with the divine spirit, and
heaven will take care Of itself"
No announcements have been made
as to the pulpit supply for August, but
during the month of July the various
pastors of the city will fill the vacancy,
Rev. w. j. Ford, of Green Ridge,
preaching next Sunday.
During the pastors absence, Deacon
w. II. Tripp will serve as president of
the board of deacons, and DR.. l.. NJ.
Gates as moderator of the church.
