Av CONVINCING TALK Fred B. Smith Pleased So Well That He Was Urged to Remain Another Day, HE WILL SPEAK TO LADIES Lfist evening at the Y. M. C. A.

a eons and prayer service was conducted under the direction of Fred. B. Smith, who delivered an eloquent, forceful, edifying and interesting address in which he clearly showed the absolute necessity of doing1 God's work as well as accepting his faith. Before Christ came to this earth the Jewish commandments and the old Jewish, laws became so strict and severe that in order to live in accordance with them it would require a man's whole time from early morning till late at night to comply with the laws, he said. It was human nature to go from one extreme to another and when Jesus Christ came to redeem the world the people went to the other extreme, throwing aside the commandments' iand laws, they accepted the faith and instead of working for Jesus magnified faith.

James the great theologian could see the error creeping into the early church and wrote the Epistle, cor recting this mistake which was sure to bring disappointment, placing Christian faith and Christian activity into one place. "Be ye doers as well as hearers of the faith." Many who. accept the gospel of God firmly believe with their heart and soul that Jesus Christ is their savior and through him expect salvation, but they loose activity. God's first message is come, come then go and preach the gospel. That "go" means everyone and is just as important and imperative to each of you present as to the ministers of the gospel.

Some men are good church goers and poor payers, some are good payers but do not go to churchJ The Christians we want are those big enough to reach all the way around. The speaker said "I would not be afraid to face the whole world with the gospel, it is so strong and convincing." It is easy to get the people to respond to come, but difficult to get them to respond to that "go." If all the members of our churches who have responded to would only place their feet, heart, soul, love and will on "go" it would be possible to evangalize the entire population of the world in this generation. Many persons wonder why Paul who did not have the close tutoring for, two years the other apostles had swung to the front ahead of all the others and was pecond to Jesus Christ in the church. "Why not John? Why not Thomas? Why not Peter? the man more like you and me than any of the others. Why it was Paul is told in the story of his conversion.

Upon his first vision of Jesus Christ he asked, who are thou?" next, "Lord, what will thou have me to do?" From the minute he sought sight of God he was doer, not a hearer. Oh, for doers of the work of God. Do you belong to the passive kind or the active kind? If you are of the passive kind go to church, contribute to its support, listen attentively to the sermons, join in prayer, but be not active in spreading God's work then a part of the great vineyard is never going to be tilled. God has a thought for you. Do not miss it; no man in this world is an accident.

It is better not to have lived than to fail to fill the position God has laid out for you. all back the 10 greatest men you picture in our mind Lincoln. Washington, Martin Luther, Winlield Edwards, and think what a terrible thing it would be had they failed to fill the places they wore fitted for. Live your life on a plane of inactivity and if I should come back here again I will find you doubting that the Bible is God's word, while if you live on a plane of activity, working for Jesus Christ, you will know and "believe God's word. Either use your religion or lose it.

Accept Jesus Christ as your savior and also work hard for God. The speaker emphasized the necessity of giving your heart to God at once and working for the advance of Christianity, for before the grass on the hills is again green many of those There's a Miniature THAT HAS PASSED THE BOOK on A last present may be callled to their eternal home. a At the earnest solicitation of many present, including a number of ministers, Mt Smith decided to remain here another day and will this evening at 8 o'clock deliver an address in the T.

HAZLETON. Feb. 22. J. S.

Bent ley of Bos well, Somerset county, today placed under arrest Andrew Pecker, who Is believed to be one of the most dangerous characters in the coal regions. Two weeks ago a strike was in augurated at the mines of the Merchants Coal company, at Boswell. While coal and iron policemen were guarding those who desired to work, a number of women attacked them. These were arrested, and while they were being given a hearing Pecker. with a mob of 200 men, attacked the magistrate's office, and during the melee 13 men were shot Pecker escaped to Oneida, where he was captured today.

HISTORY OF MOVEMENT The executive committee of the Na tional Ruthenian Society of America convened in Ruthenian hall. River i street, yesterday. The so 1 ciety, which has its object the up I lifting of the Ruthenians in America, was organized on Nov.

20, 1903, at Yonkers, N. at a convention held for that purpose. The executive committee consists of seven members1, who make the laws I governing the society. The Ruthenians are a branch of the Slavs, inhabiting Galicia and Buko wina, adjoining parts of Poland and West Russia, and Northeast Hungary. In Galicia and Bukowina they number about 2,500,000, and in Poland and Hungary about 500,000 In Russia they are generally classified with the little Russians to whom, they are closely related.

The prevailing religion is the United Greek hi the Austrian territories and Orthodox Greek in Russia. As a national element the Ruthenians are Important only in Galicia, where they are an tagonistlc to the Poles and where an effort has been made to develop a Ruthenian literature, though as yet with Insignificant results. The literary association, HiaJlcks Russka Malica, has been particularly active in the anti Polish agitation. I In America are 350,000 Ruthenians. Being oppressed as a nation, they fully appreciate the advantages offered by free America and as her adopted sons they mean to carry out here the purposes and objects denied them from time immormial in their father i land, where they were kept almost on a level with, the slave.

Yesterday's work of the convention I Was but the beginning of th exercise of their rights as a nation and judg i ing from the addresses delivered much good to them as a people will be the outcome of this convention. The two most important matters dealt with were education and economics. Rev. Paul Tymkevish of Yonkers, N. spoke on the former, while Rev.

Nicholas Sturtznsky spoke at length on the latter. During the course of his remarks he suggested the erection of an institution In New York city for the care of Ruthenian emigrants and Indigent people. The proposed building, it is estimated, will cost about $100,000. It will be equipped with educational Sa cllities, employment bureaus a public library and a bureau of colonization. Various other matters pertaining to the welfare and future of the Ruthenians were discussed by Rev.

N. Pidharetsky of Jersey City, Rev. N. Stefansvich of Pittsburg, Rev, J. Konstanke vich, of Shamokin, Rev.

S. Makar of Mount Carmel, Rev. V. Hryvnak of Buffalo, N. Rev.

V. Vlltsky of Ansonia, and Rev. J. Vreyhorsky, Syracuse, N. Y.

At 7 o'clock the convention wa3 brought to a close after which the vis itinar clererv were entertained by an ameateur theatricals given under the patronage of the Ruthenian scholars. MORE ROOM NEEDED. Proposition to Separate Criminal Patients in Insane Asylum. HAZLETON, Feb. 22.

The over, crowded condition of the insane asylums in this part of the state is likely to figure as an issue in politics next fall, and Luzerne legislators will probably be pledged to ask the legislature to provide enlargements for the asylums and especially to provide for a separate institution for the criminal insane. Dr. Charles B. Mayberry. superintendent of the asylum at Retreat, says: "This state, with its boundless resources and abundance of surplus funds, is far behind many states in the Union, in providing ample quarters for the insane, and I believe the time is ripe for the legislature to relieve this deplorable state of affairs by providing for the erection of additional room for the proper shelter of this unfortunate class of people.

There are entirely too many criminals and murderers, adjudged Insane, sent to my Institution to mingle with, honest and respectable Insane. This Is a grave mistake. I believe the next legislature should be chosen on the basis of better and more accommodations for our Insane, and I shall use my best efforts to bring this about and make it a campaign slogan, so far as LuzemS county is concerned."
