The appointment of special physician
in charge of smallpox cases during
such an epidemic as has lust visited
Scranton, seldom falls to the lot of the
average physician, yet Dr. w. A. Paine
has, during the past twenty years, been
called upon twice to act in that capac-
ity.
During the siege of 1882 he was depu-
tized to look after "A large number OF
patients, and he is now regarded as an
expert i'm reference to this disease. His
thorough knowledge of the symptoms
and development of smallpox makes
his opinion OF great value. Dr.. Paine
is exceptionally careful about every
thing that pertains 10 case of small

will prevent the dreaded disease from
spreading.

university in January, 1897, and since

SPOKE ABOUT MANS
NEED OF WORSHIP
Stirring Sermon Of Rev. Thomas B
Payne, the New rastor of All
Souls Universalist Church.

Rev. Thomas b. Payne, the new
pastor Of All Souls Universalist church
on Pine street, preached Sunday morn
ing a stirring and interesting sermon
on MANS Eternal Need of Worship"
taking for his text Christ's words to
the woman of Samaria. God is spir-
it, and they that worship Him, must
worship Him in spirit and in truth"
We give the sermon in part:
We often hear it said today there is dccad
encc of religion in America: that the unquesion-
ing faith, stern morality ard austcre lives of the
fathers Of the republic no more seen among
us and, as consequence, agnosticism, immpr-
ality and godlessncss arc rapidly sapping the
vire character and life that once characterized
the life Of the nation. As an evidence OF this
we arc pointed by the religious bigot and alarm
list to the liberalizing of the Puritan faith and
worship.
Now it is undcnablv true that, the old-tmc anil
so.caed Christian faiths, under the influence and
inspiration of the Univcrsaist church, have un-
dergone great changes during the last hundred
years. If John Calvin and Jonathan Edwards
were to return to earth today, they would not
know, and when told, would not own their spir-
; itual descendants.
The old Calvnstic crecds of our Puritan Faith
crs are still found on the dcnominational books
of the so-called Evangelical churches, but tine old
doctrines of an angry and unreconciled God OF
an utterly dcpravcd humanity. the damnation
Of infants, an everlasting sulphurous hell. and

OF the children of men. have vanished forever
from the belief af the great majority of the fol-
| lowers of the Christ, and from the average Chris
tian pulpit except on the "off Sunday
The old historic five points OF Calvnism have
given place to the older five points OF Christiun
teaching. the latest and fullest expression OF
which was promulgated by the Universalist
church, in 1889, to wit, D The Universal Faith
erhood of God; (2) The Spiritual Authority and
Leadership of His Son, Jesus Christ; (3) the
trusworthiness of the Bible as containing reve-
laton from God; (i) the certainty of just retri-
button for sin; (5) the final harmony OF all souls
with God. Yes, gladly admit there is less
OF the peculiar type of "religion" prevalent
among us hundred years ago, but a thousand
evidences around us everywhere, telling us
that the simple religion of Jesus Christ never
abounded in the world as 1t does today. Yes
there las been and is n decadence of religion"
as the Puritan taught and practced it. but vast
deal more OF genuine Christianity as Jesus taught
and practiced it.
In every age, in every cline, every people have
sought after God, il happily they might find
Him. And God has revealed himself to them.
As it has been in the past it will continue
eternally to be.

to impress upon you now and always is this, the
