ROAST UMPIRE SPENCER.
Taylor Reds Make a Shout About
Honesdale Unfairness.

Carbondale is not the only town that
is shouting about the decisions of Um-
pire Spencer, of Honesdale. The Tay-
lor Reds, who were defeated by Homes
dale, on Saturday. are doing bit Of
roasting Of the Honesdalian judge of
balls and strikes.
A week ago last Saturday, the Reds
went to Chestnut town and played q
tie game. They returned singing the
prais,' of Spencer's fairness, etc. Sat-
urday last, one week later, they
changed their minds. They were in
Carbondale Saturday evening, denounc-
ing the decision of a fly ball, which
they claim was fair, fully four feet
Spencer, they said, declared it a foul,
which deprived them of runs. The Reds
players were much warmer than the
weather and it's oranges to burnt
matches that to Honesdale they'll new
er go any more.
Now, this is not Carbondale talk, but
comes from Taylor players themselves,
delivered while in this city Saturday
night, and punctuated with roasts that

HOME FROM THE EAST.
Lieutenant DR.. F. E. Jenkins Back
to Carbondale on q Furlough.

| Lieutenant DR.. f. r. Jenkins, OF the
regular army, returned home Saturday
evening on a months furlough.
DR.. Jenkins entered the volunteer
army as a surgeon about two years
ago, and was commissioned as lieu
tenant and sent with the Tenth Vol
unteer cavalry to the Philippines. On
arriving at Japan he was ordered with
the cavalry to so to China, and was at
the taking of Pekin. Later he was
sent to the Philippines and acted as as
sistant to the chief surgeon. He was
stationed at Taboytas, when about a
year ago his time Of enlistment ran
out, and he started back for the states

listed In the regular army and was
sent to Fort Morgan on Mobile bay,
where he is stationed at the present
time. While at the latter placd he

army life and has many enjoyable
stories to tell his friends of his ex-
perience since leaving Carbondale.
DR.. Jenkins intends to return to Mo-
bile, but whether he will be stationed
there again he does not know, as ii is
the policy of the government to have
its officers learn as much as possible

have them prepared in case of war.
Consequently he may be ordered to re-
port at any of the forts.
DR.. jenkins is receiving the hearty

safe return, after so many hazardous
experiences.

her checks. as she asked the question:
as this Heaven, father?' Brethren,
Chrlstianity's light brings the same re-
ality to the soul; 1t changes things and
turns this earth into heaven.
Christianity is rational, because II
opens the eyes. 1t has in 1t II whole
armament of light and possibility, educa-
tion. growth and development. Christ has
no blind followers. Confucius and Buddha
may lead in dense darkness their follow.
ers, but to follow Christ is to see and
walk in light.
Christianity has no dark seance, in
which something wonderful and strange
Is performed. 1t brings no sleight-of-
hand performance. no optical Illusion; 1t
does not curtain itself. No, 1t Is OF the
day and not of the night. Away with this
religion of spooks, who choose darkness
to effect their spiritual deusion. our
Christianity Is luminous with celestial
light. The first thing 1t does is to open
the eyes, that one may see. 1t cries for
light and more light
1t Is the mission of the church to lead
men to this light. From the dense dark
ness of sin and superstition we must lead
men into the grand revelation of gospel
light. Men and women pass and re-pass
the beautiful works of God, and they are
so blinded that they fail to discover any
beauty in them. BY sin they have lost
the sense of sight and are enclosed in
their own darkness 1t is for us to re-
fleet upon their darkness the light Of our
gospel.
Christianity wears no hood over its rea-
son; rather it's all illumination. It's not
to be received by any blindly, for 1t first
opens the eyes. A great many will follow
any demagogue who will delude and hc-
fool them, and turn their back upon the
mar. who wants to lead them from dark
ress unto light. This is the proof of the
divinity of the Christian religion. 1t is
the religion of light. Since the creation
of the world. human hearts have cried
for light. Since the fall of Adam from
light to darkness, our world has been
cropping after light
Prophets appeared upon the scenes Of
the past with torches in their hands. but
only when Jesus Christ came was there
fulness of light. When he was born he
came as the answer to the desire and
wants of men. ~ am the light of the
world" and through Him alone the world
is from darkness to be brought to light
Christianity invites honest criticism, in
yites investigation; it loves the light. 1t
calls for midday and awaits the morning.
Rev. Mr.. de Gruchy concluded with
a strong lesson on the power and beau
ty Of forgiveness.

Is in essence the New Testament. No
man ever invented that verse; 1t is a
house not made with hands. l pause be-
fore it as an object of infinite subimity.
Should any one ask you, What does
Christianity want to do in the world ?
Point the inquirer to our text. This is
the answer not of religion, but of Chris
tianity. l do not attempt to amend it;
accept it just as it reads
Christianity unfurls no banner on which
is not written these words. Would to God
we could enter into the spirit of this
noble charge. 1t is not in the heart of
man to invent that verse as an imposi-
tion. This is the centre of reason. the
centre of health, the seal of God. Some
times we want Il concise expression, an
easily quotable explanation of what we
are and want to do. You cannot find any
words so full, so bright, so tender as you
lind in my text. Let us examine 1t in
detail and then we shall know the fulness
and value of the Divine reply. Picture
the scene. Saul is on his way to Damas-
Gus. Suddenly, amid a dazzling light, the
strong man is thrown to the ground. He
remembers the very moment. You all
know him as a man capable of all but
inveterate prejudice, invincible in will,
man with a cultured mind and of rare
intellectual penetration and moral stern
ness.
He is hidden to stand, and he receives
charge from an invisible speaker. I
will not stop at the mystery of the in
visibleness. The text of today was
brought from heaven by an angel, and
what does the angel want Paul to do?
TO so to the Gentiles, to the heather
people of the world, and what does he
propose doing? First "to open their
eyes," Any religion that proposes to open
our eyes Is presumptively a true religion
Superstition says: Keep your eyes
closed; put hood over your reason; do
not make any inquiries; take a report of
everything and be satisfied. That is
superstition. Christianity says to every
man: Stand up and I will open thine
eyes; thou shalt see the bigness of the
universe, the reality of things, the mag
nificence of life, the solemnity of its des-
tiny. Christianity says: Stand up. / will
make luminous man of you; thou shall
have sight and faculty of criticism.
Christianity does not seek to befool us.
1t does not envelop us in darkness or
shut us up in some prison, seeing only
through the eyes of others, or thinking
through other men, A child of a rich
monarch was born totally blind. Having
heard of man who could give sight, he
determined to take his child to him. He
took the child and travelled over land and

performed. For a few weeks she remained

sermon was on the power of Christian
