AUXILIARY ACTIVITIES NOTED Carefully Compiled Compendium of News and l'crsonnl Mention Relating to the Churches and the Benevolent and Cbarituble Religious Societies. The circular Issued by the executive committee of the I'iokawanna Presby tery on behalf of the mission among people of foreign tonpues deserves spe cial attention. The following excerpt fruin the circular sums up the matter In a concise form: "We have about 6.000 Italians of all j grades. Then of the Austro-IIungarkin kingdom we have about 63,000 to 70,000. These are divided from each other by mixtures of blood, race feuds, religious prejudices, language and dialects, Into factions under which they live and work together with immense dllllculty and constant friction. Poverty and the necessity for work, would seem to be the most potent peacemakers among them at present. They call themselves Hungarians or Maygars, Poles, Hu heniians, Slavonics and Ilthunlans, with all sorts of Russian and western Asiatic mixtures. Their religion would seem to be a Christianity of strife and Reparation; If, Indeed, there Is such ft Christianity. Religiously they call them-Bi-lves Catholics Oreek or Latin; or Lutherans and Calvlnlsts Reformed. As a mass they are honest, hard work ers, and generous saloon supporters. They are patient and kind-hearted. Their children are bright, and quick to respond to all kind efforts to teach thHtn. There Is much excellent material among them out of which to build the commonwealth." The executive committee Is constitut ed as follows: Ministers George E. Guild, Providence; V. H. Hodge, I). I)., Wllkes-Rarre; James MoLeod, I). t., Scranton; Ferdinand Von Krug, Kings ton; Charles Lee, Carbondale; K. Mc lean, Klmhurst. Laymen Colonel H. M. Boles, Scranton; Thomas H.

Rogers and Mrs. Israel. Friends of Rev. Rogers nnd Mrs. Israel will be pleased to read the fol lowing extracit from the Morning Star, Meadville, Pa.; "Were Rev. and Mrs. Rogers Israel vain people, they would be flattered by reason of 'the reception tendered them by the ipeople of the city, Tuesdny evening. Mr. and Mrs. Israel, after a residence of seven and one-half years In Meadville, departed ft little over two years ago to begin life In another Pennsylvania city. That they have not been forgotten, was proven by the gathering at Christ church par ish huune, Tuesday evening. "Members of the parish and of all church denomination In the city Regular Price. was 6 cents, was 6 cents, was 6 cents, ' best quality was 6 cents, kinds Iwas 15 cents, was 25 cents wide, Dress was 39 cents, wide, Dress was 50 cents, called at the parish house between the hours of 8 and 10 o'clock, and were re ceived by Rev. and Mrs. Rogers Israel and Rev. and Mrs. F. M. Kirkus. It was great pleasure for the callers, as well as a pleasure for those In whose honor the people assembled. Rev. and Mrs. Israel have a strong hold upon the affections of the people of this com munity, and it can also be said that the rector and his wife have a warm feel ing for the people of the first parish In which they were located. The ladies served light refreshments during the evening." Visiting by the I'ustor. On Tuesday evening iat the Men's league of the Penn Avenue Haptisl church, A. L. Collins raised the Inter esting question of systematic visitation of church members, lie referred to the system of benefit societies, and sug gested a slmllarmethod In ohurch work, which drew forth the remark from Luther Keller that several sick mem bers in all churches complained of the pastor's neglect without making any effort to notify the pastor or church officials of their Illness. This was supported by Dr. Gates, who explained that if members of bene fit societies neglected to Inform the of ficials of their Illness, their contribu tions would not be forthcoming. If the Church, he Jocularly remarked, would organize benefits the notices of sick ness would soon flow in. The question Is an Interesting one, as it forms one of the most harrasslng functions of a pastor. "How to visit my people sys tematically" is a difficult question to solve, and probably an Impossible one, unlesn the 'laymen are organized as an auxiliary. . In a large church It Is simply Impos sible for the pastor to follow up each Individual case, however willing und energetic he may be. l:cnts In Church Work. The annual report of the Tabernacle church, Hyde Park avenue, was pub lished during the week, Allowing an In crease of forty-one members. Six hun dred dollars had been given toward the reduction of the church debt. The new officer are: Howell J. Rees, Richard D. Thomas and D. it. Kvans, trustees; Kvan J. Kvans and Richard I). Thomas, deacons, and Howell J. Rees, Sunday school superintendent. The now year has begun most ausplciouxly and there Is every prospect of a good record of valuable work being estab lished. Arrangements have been made by the new board of deacons of the Jackson Street Baptist church for a campaign of work. The church members will be districted among the deacons, who will bo responsible for a regular and sys tematic visitation of the members. The deacons are: Jhn Owens, I, C Thomas, Oeorge Coombs, W. o, Jen kins, William Protheroe, and John Duvles, Splendid audiences have attended the mission services at the Plymouth Con gregational church during the week, and the pas Dor nund members anticipate a largo accession of members. Rev. Thomas Hell, the new pastor, who con ducts the services, has already won the esteem and affection of the congrega tion by his preserving nnd methodical work, which In contributing materially to the growing Importance of this church. A very .pretty Methodist Episcopal church was consecrated In Wllkes Uurre on Sunday last. The new addi tion to that city's churches Is eltuated on North Grant street, above Bcutt Alteration Price.

Cardinal Vaughan was recently In terviewed at Rome and said that he did not look for an early conversion of a large section of the English to Catho licism. It will be dllllcult to effect FUch a movement, he said, as every Protestant Is his own Pope. Never theless, he shared the Pope's hopes for an increase of conversion, especially among ritualists. In consequence of the cardinal's advice the Pope will not submit to a conference of cardinals the scheme for the union of the Angli can and Catholic churches, and will not Issue an appeal to Kngland on the sub ject.

On Sunday last they offered to undertake to raise $:150 by June 10, If the members of the church would un dertake to raise a sumllar sum by the same date, for the purpose of discharg ing the debt of $700 upon the church building. The offer was accepted, and during the week the trustees delivered copies of .the "Title Gleaner," and each person will be asked to collect $5 In puma of 10 cents.

And the untried wealth of the open book At the window neglected lies. Reposing, a slender hand reclines I'ngloved, w ith a cureless grace And the languid swoon of the afternoon Comes over the perfect face. She sleeps! and the full blown rose Droops drowsily on her breast And nods In the tremulous tide that flows In the warm young life at rest. Could the quivering smile on the cheek that plays, Be traced by the during pen How the plaintive lays of u lover's praise .Might live In the hearts of men. She wnkes! Did a dawn like this E'er yet on the dark earth smile? Did a passing spirit stoop to kiss The cheek that a saint would guile? Divinely fair is the rose-blush there Where the shadows of dimples play And my hungry guze, but 1 must not stare, Reluctantly turns away. Ah! Sweet are the thoughts that cling To the picture In every line, And my soul would sing on a bouyunt wing Of the vision that hnth bedi mine God grant his cure to. the deur. sweet life. And bright be the days to come; But my reverie slops with the train. 'Tis my wife And I pay for the carriage home! Ernest N. Bang In New England Maga zine. COOD-RY ER 1IOWDY.DO. Say good-by er howdy-do. What's the odd betwixt the two? Comln', goln', every day, Best friends first to go away; Grasp of hands you druther hold Than their weight In solid gold. Slips their grip while greeting you: Say good-by er howdy-do. Howdy-do, and then good-by. Mixes Just like laugh sad cry; Deaths und births, ami worst and best, Tangled their contrarlest ; Every Jlnglln' weddln' bell, Skeerln' up some funeral knell; Here's my song und there's your sigh; Howdy-do and then good-by. Buy good-by er howdy-do. Jest the sunie to me and you; 'Taint worth while to make no fuss, Cause the Job's put ud on us; Some one's rtinnin' this concern That's got nothln' else to leurn; If he's wlllln' we'll pull through; Buy good-by er howdy-do. James Whltcomb Riley. LIGHTS AND SHADOWS. Lights und shadows! They forever Briefly make our rounded yean; And until God's ungels gather ; I'p the blindly flowing tears, Holding to some for tomorrow.
