The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1902-03-17

Rev. Dr. l.. NJ. S. Haynes of Bing-
hamton, Il powerfully eloquent preach
er and "a clergyman well known
throughout the east as a revivalist OF
more than ordinary ability, delivered
the first of a series of evangelistic SER
mons last night in the Penn Avenue
Baptist church. He took for his text
part of the twenty-second verse of
the twenty-first chapter of John,
What is that to thee? Follow thou
me-" and spoke in part as follows:
you ALL no doubt, recall the circum-
stances which led Christ to say these
words. He had given Peter to UNDER
stand that he was to feed His lambs
and sheep Peter was apparently sat
isfied in his own mind as to what he
had to do, but he took occasion to ask
the Lord about John. What shall that
man do, Lord?' he said, and Christ re-
piled, What is that to thee? Follow
thou Me-
You and /. everybody in the world,
in fact, are constantly asking questions
similar to that asked by Peter. There
is so much that ATTRACTS our attention
and so much to be explained There
is SO much that we do not understand.
We are wanderers CROPPING in the dark.
We cannot see God. we cannot feel
Him, we cannot touch Him, but we
know that He exists and all that we
can do is to listen and to heed the
words of His divine Son, who bade
Feter follow Him.
DIFFERENCE OF CONDITIONS.
lone of the things which attracts the
...l,
many from accepting Christ is the diff
ference between the conditions of the
rich and poor. This has been the
great question of the ages. Why
should there be some supplied with all
the luXures of life, and others too
poor to buy themselves bread? There
has never been Il time in the history
of the world when there nave not been
both rich and poor. and there never
will be a time when these two classes
will not exist. 1t is not for us to ask
Gods reason for these conditions of
life. 1t is rather our Christian duty to
accept that life which God has seen fit
to place us in and to remember the
words of Christ, What is that to thee?
Follow thou Me-
The difference among the Christian
churches is another thing which keeps
people away from Christ They see
some people being baptized by INNER
sion and some being baptized by the
simple pouring of water on the head;
they near of the doctrine of the Bap-
list, Methodist. Presbytel:a" and Ihl-
theran churches and they become con-
fused, not knowing which to accept.
They should remember Christ's injunc-
ton, What is that to thee 1t is not
the church we are to follow. 1t is
Christ Any church where the Lord
Jesus is Master is proper resting
place for the wandering soul.
MEANING: OF LIFE.
What does life all mean? Where are

we going to? why am here? How
often we hear these questions and how
much the great philosophers have writ
ten upon them. They are the myster-
les of life. They perplex me often. as
do many other great questions, such as
the existence of the 200 900, 900 Moham-
medans in the world, all followers of u
false prophet. But when | am thus
perplexed, 1 simply say What is that
TO thee? follow thou Christ. DO Just
as He says; obey His laws and you
will be sure to emerge sometime from
the forest of doubt into the great open
of Gods love on the plains of the eter-
nal city.
What a glorious thing it is to have
Jesus as our Master ana as our guide
over the rough and dangerous places.
Lost we truly are in the depths of a
great forest, and without Christ as our
guide we shall never find the open.
Put your trust in Him and follow His
guiding hand until the end of lifes
journey. It's the only safe way"
The evils of procrastination or the
putting off of conversion day by day
were forcibly pointed out by DR..
Haynes, who told little incident of
two shipwrecked men cast ashore on a
bleak and barren isle, with only one
broken match between tim. He told
of the infinite care with which they
guarded this match ana how each was
afraid to take the responsibility of
kindling q fire with it, for fear it would
go out. Finally, after hours of hesita-
ton. one of the men struck it and set
fire to the dry wood which they had
gathered together.
DON'T DELAY.
My friend" said he. you may have
but one match left and but one more
day left in which to strike it. 1t may
go out if you wait longer or you may
lose it. Won't you try to strike it for
Christ tonight and have your hearts
kindlad with Gods ever-burning love-"
Dr.. Haynes will preach in the Penn
Avenue Baptist church every night this
week except Saturday and will give
Bible readings this afternoon and also
on Wednesday and Friday afternoons.
The night services proper will begin
promptly at 7.45 o'clock nightly. but
they will be preceded by a song SER

IN THE POCAHoNTAs DISTRICT.
Saturdays Loading Fifty Cars Short
of Previous Day.

Roanoke, Va, June 22.-An official
statement given the Associated Press
tonight by the general officers of the
Norfolk and Western railway says the
loading of coal on yesterday in the
Pocahontas district was 300 cars. This
is a falling off of about so cars as COM
pared with the output on the previous
day, but is in excess of what had been
expected. There was a falling off in
the output of the Clinch Valley and
Thacker fields on Saturday. These
two fields have been working a full
force of men up to yesterday and the
officials will not be surprised if the
strikers gain some men from the
Thacker and Clinch Valley fields. but
do not believe these territories will be
affected materially.
There was a miners meeting at Gill
liam, w. Va, to-day, at which be-
tween 200 and 300 strikers were pres
ent. They left Gillian later in the
day to march to Elkhorn, accom-
panied by a brass band. When the
marchers reached the end of North
Fork branch their numbers dwindled
to less than 10O A meeting of these
marchers and others is scheduled to
