SOUTH SCRANTON NOTES.
Mountain Lake Becoming a Popular
Resort-Two Funerals-Other
Notes and Personals.

That Mountain Lake is fast becoming
popular pleasure resort, is shown by
the many outings and picnics held in
that vicinity. Hardly a day passes
during the summer months that some
society or organization does not climb
the mountain side to spend the day in
leisure and pleasure by the lake side.
What is desired to render this section
the most popular place for recreation in
the city is some kind of conveyance,
and an extension of the Stone avenue
line would prove bonanza to the
Scranton Traction company, and
blessing to the people.
On Saturday there were two picnic
parties on the mountain. One at Crafts
grove, by the Church of Peace, and
one at Baldner's park, where the en-
ployes of William Blume, the carriage
maker, spent the day. The weather
was all that could be wished for. ana
both parties enjoyed a pleasant outing.
Yesterday. the Junger Maennerchor
Singing society, owned the pleasure
grounds at Baldner's park and enter
tanned large number of their friends.
1t was an ideal day for the affair. and
the clam steamers were kept busy
throughout the entire day. Other re-
freshments in abundance We're provid-
ed for the visitors. while alley ball, ten
pins and other diversions helped to
make pleasant time. The society's
popularity was attested in the large
number of prominent citizens who were
in attendance

Sermon of w. w. Adair, Secretary of the
R. r. Y. M. G. A.. in Wastburn Street
Presbyterian Church.

w. w. Adair. secretary of the Rail-
road Young Mems Christian associae
ton, occnpied the pulpit of the WASH
burn Street Presbyterian church yes
terday morning, and preached ~ very
forceful sermon. Following was the
text: ITO Him that overcometh Will
I give to eat of the hidden mama and
I will give him u white stone and in
the stone u new name written.'-Rev.,
ii:17. During the course of his re-
marks, the speaker said
The scene of the Christian life is a bat
tlegro,nd whereon are fought the great
deciding battles of destiny. There are
none of us here who have esDOused the
cause of Christ who do not know full well
what the apostle means when he talks OF
the conflict of natures. When he speaks
of the law in himself that so works that
when he would do good. evil Is present
with him. We too. have fought these
battles and are still fighting them and
must fight on until the end. Not all who
enter upon this warfare are victorious.
All along the line of march may be found
defeated and dishonored stragglers who
have given over the fight and made ship
wreck of faith. But i'll the midst OF the
smoke and tragedy of the conflict. the
captain of our salvation cheers on the
faithful. The sound of his voice reassures
us, and. in addition to the encouragement
that comes from his presence, He speaks
of the coronation day when the victor
laws by his armor to receive the crown.
"Seven times in these symbolic mes
sages to the churches He tells of the
glory that shall be to him that over
cometh.'" We are not allowed to forget
that the foe is at hand, and that the bat
tie must be fought, but we are at the
same time encouraged with the prospect
of victory. After the battle has been
waged amid perils and blood and tears
