Fire in Lunch Wagon.

Considerable excitement was created
around the Corners yesterday after
noon when q lively blaze was seen
coming through the roof of the lunch
wagon. The wagon is hemmed in on
both sides by frame structures and the
high wind blowing at the time made
IL look somewhat serious for a few
moments, but luckily Permanent Man
George Seeze, of the Neptune COM
pany, was on the scene and with e
few well-directed blows was able to
get to the seat of the fire. which was
between the ceiling and the roof. He
made short work of extinguishing it.
1t was caused by an overheated stove.
The damage done will amount to
about $25, which is fully covered by
insurance.

The Drummer Evangelist, Rev. w.
ii. Williams Is demonstrating to the
people OF Dunmore that he has q
knowledge of the word of God and
can preach u sermon as well as make
a temperance address. He took for
his subject last night, "The Sin
Against the Holy Ghost" Text, Matt.
xii: 30-31. He said in parts
at is not a sin committed fgnor-
antly, but knowingly; 1t is not a
careless but a wilful rejection of the
truth. 1t is not a sin committed in
n moment. but is q final act to n long
life of sin.
1--WE often hear 1t said, he or she is
! an infidcl who is fighting the church
and Bible, saying that Jesus Christ
v;as a bastard and a wretch. There
are no inlidels, but there are men and
women who have crossed the line and
we are to let them alone, for they are
Joined to their idols. Christ, when on
carth changed his whole attitude to-
wards such and closed the Book
against them by speaking in parallels,
Eyes to see, they see not; ears TO
| hear, they hear not We can become
| blind and deaf to the plan Of salvation.
| It was malice that made the wicked
| Phrisee say it is done by Beelzebub.
Il was ignorance that made the multi
tude cry cruelty Him. These were
| forgiven; the others pcrished. with
| out hope or another invitation, for
they, in their blindness. were hurried
| on to meet their doom.
"Some would say this Is unjust In
| God. VIII you please tell me what Is
| the extent of the crime committed
| then I will modify my statement.
What is it to sin against God. 1t Is
an awful crime to trample the love
| of heaven under your feet.
mot every reproach is taken by the
Holy Ghost as blasphemy. for we say
many things against His work that
we do not mean, but when in the
Judgment of the Holy Ghost He knows
we mean it. then He rcsents 1t viii.
q justice that knows no mercy.
MAN then is left in hardness of
heart and will never relent, but will
live in q state Of moveless Indifference,
| until he departs to his own place.
This results from the fact that he Is
abandoned. The spirit of God is like
the breath of life it departs. The
candlestick is removed out OF it's
|
| other and the Holy Ghost becomes an
enemy.
God is love. Penitent souls find
him so; unpenitent ones will find him
q consuming fire. God is merciful
hut sin is hurtful to Him and he can
not look upon sin with the least de-
gree Of an allowance.
when will God have more power
TO save you than now? You ares.not
safe now in your sins. Does not tbs
peace of heaven demand that these
rebels against all purity be outside OF
heaven. There was one rebellion In
heaven. God will not take the risk o.
another, for there will be no rebels
there. Shall the lights of heaven b'
entrusted to bloody brands"
Miss Hull sang again last night, Il
the great delight of all present.
Mr.. Williams will take for his sub
jcct tonight, "Will We Know Ou
Friends in Heaven" Everybody i
invited.
