MR.. PEARSALL SPEAKS
Addressed the Railroad Y. M. c. A.
Yesterday Afternoon - Was
Formerly Secretary Here.

Frank w. Pearsall, of New York
city, former secretary of the local
branch of the Railroad Young Mems
Christian association, spoke at yester-
day afternoons meeting in the asso-
citation building, to an audience that
completely filed the auditorium. at.
testing silently the great respect and
esteem in which he is held in this city.
A special service had been arranged
by Secretary w. w. Adair. Rev. j.
B. Sweet, pastor of the Simpson Meth
odist Episcopal church, and Secretary
George Mahy, of the Young Mems
Christian association. led in prayer;
George Sanborn. of the Rescue Mission.
read the parable of the prodigal son,
from the New Testament, and special
instrumental music was rendered by a
quartette. Ralph Williams also rem
dered two splendid baritone solos.
Mr.. Pearsall delivered one of his
straight-f om-the-shoulder, common
sense talks, based on the text found
in Hebrews. Will: Now of the
things we have spoken. this is the
sum: We have such an high priest,
who is set on the right hand of the
throne of the Majesty in the heavens"
fAhiOhS otllcI ne Sdlu.
The chief point or kernel of this
argument Paul was making to the
Hebrews was that we have such
high priest, Every subject has its
husk or shell and also it's kernel.
There are many people who barely
touch the outer circumference of truth
and don't know about the kernel
There are many business men who are
nine-tenths froth and one tenth busi-
ness, but crash comes some day to
these.
Men are lost every day because
they fail to get the meat and marrow
of religion. What is the principal
point of the gospel story? Those that
read the Bible say that it might be
any one of 100 different things. 1t is
apparent, however, to the close Bible
student that the great point is this
there's always another chance for the
man who has tried and who has failed
There's always "A second a third and
hundredth chance for the man who
has failed through his own weakness
or for some other reason.
There is to my mind one thought
that opens up the real truth of the
gospel in a wonderful way. The stu
dents who are able to read the Bible
In the original, say that the real mean
ing Of the word sin is missing the
mark" When those who know Him
think of Jesus Christ, they think OF
Him as the friend of the man who
has missed the mark. How many are
there who have missed it or rather
who has not? The gospel of Jesus
Christ has message full of hope for
the man who has failed.
How We have all taken the arrows
into our hands and though our inten,
tions have been good, perhaps. our
aim has been bad. How grand it is
that we have high priest who says
unto us Come unto me all We that
are heavily laden and who gives us
the arrows, yea, who takes the bow
into His hand and who says to us, I
will place my hand over yours that
you may shoot the straighter,'"

witnessed at West Side park. Circuses
generally put on a superabundance Of
frills, the majority of which are dis
played on the bill boards. but the Wal
lace people demonstrate that their
show is not all ON paper, but that they
give not only all they advertise, but
considerably more"
The Daily News heads its comment
with these words Many good fea-
lures, the greatest acrobatic work ever
seen in the city, splendid ariel work
and exciting racing

and has cost far more than the state
allowance, having run up to such fig
ureS that the state contribution falls
between $1,000 and $4,000 short in q
year. The advantages presented by the
Lackawanna hospital are universally
recognized. and it is hoped that th-
recognition will take the material form
of generous contributions.
A contagious ward is one of the cry
ing needs of the institution, and the
hospital doctors and board OF direo-
tors are very eager to have one, and
so make the hospital one of the most
complete establishments of its kind in
the state.

DEAFNESS cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inaamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which IS nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
