PULPIT ADVERTISING

Tho reading or secular notices from
the pulpit is jar to the services Is ex-
ceedingly Objectionable to a large number
OF people" writes Edward Box, In the
March Ladies Home Journal. These
folk rightly feel that secular matters
should be kept as far removed from the
Sabbath services as possible. And they
are perfectly Justified in taking that po-
sition. II is a Bit disturbing when min
lister announce$that fair will be held on
such or such a day. or that strawberry
festival has been arranged for a certain
evening. All our churches cannot abolish
pulpit announcements too soon: many of
them have done 40 already. They have
never had a place there: they are not I'm
keeping with the dignity OF the pulpit. or
course, where church is absolutely too
limited I'm its finances 10 have the most
modest sort of a leafiet printed there is
some rason for the continuance of the
method. But whenever n is possible the
pastors of our churches should be allowed
TO adopt the circular plan. The minister
should not be turned into an advertising
medium under any pretext whatever. Nor
should the pulpit be dragged from It's high
place and its lofty purpose. 1t is not a
bulletin board"

as "A house, We see IL as a whole. This is
not the case. The eye roves over all the

defense against the attack of landing

on "A specially designed parapet-mount

CHANGE IN TROLLEY ROUTES.
Scranton Railway Company 1mprov-

TIL" Scranton Railway company is
engaged In putting in two cross-uver
curves at the intersection of Madison
avenue and Mulberry street to connect
up the lines that cross at that point.
In-bound Petersburg aud Nay Aug
cars Will take the Laurel Hin route
from this point on. and Laurel Hin and
quincy avenue ears will take the Pet
ersburg and Nay Aug route as far as
this corner when going out.
The company has two purposes in
view IN making this change one is
that the Laurel Hill and quincy ave-
nie cars may pass out Washington
avenue by the court house and through
the residential district. travprscd by
the Nay Aug ana Petersburg ears,
rather than along upper I.ackawanna
avenue. jefferson avenue and Bank
street to Madison. Tho other is to
switch returning cars off the Nay Aug
and Petersburg line from Madison ave-
nue. to the central city. which is single
tracked from Madison. down Mulberry,

venting the aggraVating delays that

TODAY'S FOOT BALL GAME.
Scranton and Wilkes-Barre High
Schools Will PLAY.

Tho last foot ball game of the season
before Thanksgiving will be played at
the park today by the teams represent
ing the Scranton and Wilkes Barre
High school. The game will be hotly
contested as this is the only one in
which the two teams meet this year.
Wilkes Barre has a good record and the
local boys feel sure of coming out vic
torious. The lineup will be somewhat
changed. The profitable experience Of
last Saturday when a man from the
scrub played the star game has caused
Captain Tropp to try another of the
scrub team in the person of Smith, who
will probably play in the line.
Jack Burns will take Weissennuhs s
place at full back, and Ridenour will
remain at tackle with Elwood on the
other side of the line. AIacCiowan and
Thayer are unchanged at the ends, and
Tropp and Phillips will take care of the
half backs positions. Great interest is
centered in the contest of today, as it
will in Il measure show what is to be
expected on Thanksgiving.
