FOR BARGAINS THE FAR h m m h u ta m X r e FOR BARGAINS I! I City Pastors and Their flard Work Religious Developments of One Keck in All Our Churches. AUXILIARY ACTIVITIES NOTED Carefully Compiled Compendium of News end Personal .Mention Relating to tbo Churches and the Benevolent and Charitable Religious Societies. The well known and accomplished pulpit orator. Chaplain llcCabe, will occupy tho pulpit of the Elm Park church tomorrow. He Is so well known for his patriotic and philanthropic work that any reference to his career is al most needless. His presence, however, tomorrow, will serve as a double at traction. The old veterans of the city who almost idolize the chaplain will be proud of the opportunity of meeting him once more. The reverend gentle man is an old soldier, having enlisted as a chaplain In the One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Ohio infantry in the fall of 1802, and was captured on the battle field of Winchester, and sent to Libby prison. During his connection with the Christian commission service he raised a larger sum of money than any other living man. During the war ho was also appointed agent of the Church Extension society of the Methodist Episcopal church, and so powerful was his influence that three churches a day were, on an aver age, erected during his administration. He flow holds the important position of secretary to the Vorelgn Missionary society of the Methodist Episcopal church,' and Is probably the most noted personage as a singer and orator in tho extensive denomination of Methodist Episcopalians. Hcsono Mission Work. Monday will herald the third anni versary of the Hescuo mission on Franklin avenue. Several people Inter ested In religious movements in tho city are mot aware of tho compreherl sive work carried on at the rooms. Since the opening of the mission a night has not passed but that the doors have been opened and a service con ducted. To reduce the matter into fig ures, 1,170 meetings have been held with an attendance of 115,000. Free lodg ings have been furnished to 2,G03 desti tute and deserving persons, and over ' 6,000 have received free meals. During this period 406 persons have professed conversion and have shown by altered methods of living that they appreciate the efforts of the mission. This means that many homes have been made happy, where poverty and sin reigned, and that joy pervades where misery had prevailed. It would , be impossible to estimate the real and true value of the mission, and it pre sents a strong claim upon the generos ity of our citizens. A visit to the mis sion rooms during any evening, or on Sunday afternoons at 4 o'clock, would emphasize the magnitude of the work. Mrs. Frano T. Vail, as secretary, and George Sanborn, as superintendent, de vote all their energies to insure the success of the work. Progress at Petersburg. Substantial progress Is recorded In ' connection with the mlBslon Instituted by the Elm Park church at Petersburg. On Monday, last Rev, W, H. Pearce preached to a large congregation, who highly appreclute the valuable assist ance so cheerfully given by the pastor of the mother church. During the past year seventy members have been re ceived on their profession of faith, and there is every prospect of a flourishing cause being established in this active suburb of Scruinton. Tho members of the mission desire to express their ad miration of the energetic efforts of Charles Lee and D. V. Yost, who con duct the services and have practical charge of the work. Elm Park Sunday School. The Sunday school of the Elm Tark Methodist Episcopal church Is In a very flourishing condition. The average at tendance for this year has been slightly in excess of 70, with every Indication of continued growth. There Is an ex cellent corps of teachers In every de partment of the Sunday school who are animated with the desire to do the best Sunday school work possible, and to this much of the success of the school must be attributed. They are almost without exception enthusiastic nnd painstaking. The singing is under the skillful direction of Professor Whit more, who imparts his warmth and animation to the whole school. He . Is very ably seconded by Allen Lawrence, whose orchestra is regularly In attend ance. It Is the desire of the pastor, who Is an enthusiastic Sunday school worker, to make the school a graded one, follow ing the plan of tho larger schools of the country, and this will be accom plished In time. Anyone not attending Sunday school will find It very Inter esting to attend and become a member. All are made welcome and the home feeling about the place Is remarkable. Captuin W. A. May, who was selected superintendent for the coming year, has made arrangements by which the plun referred to will be perfected as the efficiency of the school will allow. Although tho captain has occupied the responsible position but for tho brief period of a month, he has won golden opinions by the admirable tact he dis plays In discharging the delicate duties of the position. Church Statistics. The annual statement of the Welsh Congregational church. South Main avenue, has been Issued during the week, and shows a total membership of S'o3 as compured with 330 at tho begin ning of lust year. During the year 19 new members hnd been received and the church lost 8 by deaths. Eighteen were given certificates In leaving the church and 10 were excluded from mem bership. The financial statement shows a very heulthy state of affairs, all tho liabilities being discharged ami a large Bum being devoted to charitable ob jects. IteV. David Jones, the pastor, Is to be congratulated upon the progress ive church In his pastorate. Miscellaneous PuragrupliH. It Is not generally known that the Christian Endeavorers have a Welsh periodical. This bright and Interesting monthly Is published at Chicago and is called tho Ymdrochydd, being the Welsh translation of "Rndeavorer." This month it contains an excellent rut of Rev. Abram JoneB, of Carbondalo, and lust month the well known fea tures of his brother, Kov. D. P. Jones, were delineated in its pages, Last Tuesday's entertainment In the lecture room of the Jackson Street Baptist church reflected great credit upon Us promoters the Sunday school classes of Mlsa Esther Parry and Miss Ida Lewis. A considerable sum was netted for the funds of the church. The Buifduy school scholars of the Green Ridge Primitive Methodist church were entertained to a stereoptl con entertulnment by Rev. D. Savage last evening. A joint meeting of the Junior and Senior branches of the Christian En deavor society of the Providence Pres byterian church will be held at 6.30 o'clock tomorrow evening. A large box containing clothing and other useful articles was sent by the ladies of the Providence Presbyterian church, during the week, for the relief of tho sufferers at Nebraska. Monday's meeting of the Haptist Pas tor's union will be rendered interesting by the reception of reports from the churches showing the progress of work In the various departments. Washington's birthday. Feb. 22, will be appropriately observed by the mem bers of the Providence Presbyterian church when a drama, "Down by the Sea," will be produced In the armory. The arrangements are being made by tho members of the Christian Endeavor society, the Young People's guild and the Ladles' Aid society. At the communion service of the Pur itan Congregational church last Sun day nine persons were received Into membership on profession of faith and two by letters of recommendation. The series of revival services closed on Sunday evening. Personal Paragraphs. The many friends of Rev. D. P. Jones will regret to hear that he Is again In disposed. Last week Mr. Jones wns gradually recovering from a severe at tack of rheumatic fever which had compelled him to remain In his room for several weeks. On Sunday morning he attended his church and preached an able sermon, but in the evening was stricken with bronchitis and was yes terday reported to be Improving. Mr. Jones has always been zealous In dis charging his duties, and his anxiety to resume work before he was physically capable Is the cause of his renewed Indisposition. During his illness, how ever, he has been honored by his nomi nation as a lire-member of the Ameri can board of commissioners for foreign missions, a citizen of Sefanton having paid the fee of i'i0. The Welsh Cnngrogntlonalists of Scranton have lost a valued helper In Mrs. Thomas J. Lewis, of Hyde I'ark. Mrs. Lewis, who was tt gifted singer, has for many years assisted at the Welsh church In Providence, and upon the laBt occasion she attended divine worship she sang a beautiful solo at tho Tabernacle church, Hyde Park. She also rendered great assistance with the Cymmrodorion choir upon their visit to tho World's fair. Tho funeral took place yesterday and was very largely attended. Rov. W. S. Jones entertained the Misses DeMoss and Mine Foreman It. J. Evans entertained the Brothers De Moss during the week. The quartette have given an excellent entertainment at tho various churches during their visit. Superintendent George Sanborn, of the Rescue mission will address the young men at the Young Men's Chris tian association tomorrow afternoon. Mr. Sanborn should draw a large audi ence, as his experience In religious work has been so extensive that his disserta tions are always full of Interest.

WELSH JOTTINGS. Alas, Wales Is taking to fiction! The Calvlnlstlc Methodist weekly has, In ad dition to a temperance novel, a short Idyllic serial story treating of Ufa at a Welsh theological college The recent Issue of a biography of the Immortal Welsh preacher, Williams o'r Wern, reminds us of the fact that the biography of Mr. Williams, issued by the lato Dr. V. Rees, was translated Into Eng lish by "Kllsb" in 1SI5. Several Seranton lans can boast of the possession of the book. The oldest Congregational minister in tho principality is Rev. Richard Parry, Liundudno, who attained his ninety-tlrst birthday last week. Gwalchmal, as he Is known to Welshmen, was ordained in 1S32, and Is desconded from Hwfa ab Cynddlew, one of the founders of the four teen Royul tribes of Wales. Gwalchmal is well known to several resident of Hyde Park, who had tho honor of meeting him at the elsteddfodau. A reporter Is ithe last person one would expect to be able to inspire a bard. But everything is possible in America, and an Ohio poet thusly sings of the man of the pen : Gwyl awdwr a gwylledydd dawn y wasg, Dyna yw gohebydd; Moes arwr a mesurydd Hawllau'roes a'l feddwl rhydd. Several Scrantonlans will recollect Thomas Darlington, who was Introduced by Judge H. M. Edwards in a neat Welsh speech, at 'the Laurel 11111 Park Musical festival In September lust. Mr. Darling ton Is delivering a leoture at Wales on his American experiences and at Wold hist week declared that he had met several Welsh people In Amlerlca who did nit know a single word of English. Herbert Lewis, M. P., who presided, told a similar experience In Wisconsin, where he met several of his fellow countrymen who could not understand English. With respect to the Armenian question, some of the remarks of Samuel Evans, of tho Ottoman bank, Constantinople, who contributes the most Interesting of the four articles of the first number of the Lienor, are Important, especially as Mr. Kvans Is an ardent Welsh Nationalist. After contrasting the lot of the Welsh farmer with thut of the Armenian peas ant, ho Bays: "I am perfectly certain thut not ono farmer In Armenia wears himself out and sluves, like many Welsh men, In order to make both ends meet." As compared with land itenure In Wales, he thinks the agrarian systems of the Turks, 1'ersians and Afghuns perfection. Mr. Williams, the recently appointed auditor for South Wales under the local government board, has had an adventur ous career. He was at ono time a clerk at Smith's bookstall In Denbigh, and whtlo there fell in love with and married a daughter of Thomas Gee, the editor of the Baner. Subsequently he emigrated to Amerlcn, but returned two or three years later. So great wns his popularity at Den bigh that the whole town turned out to welcome him and his wlfo's return. He has gradually worked his way up till now he is In receipt of a salary of $1,000 a year. Ho has been engaged as auditor to the Flintshire county council, and for some years as sub-auditor in the Midland counties under tho local government board. The Welsh members are not untrav elcd. Palest Ina Lewis, as hla name de notes, has been a traveler In the Holy Land. Herbert Roberts has been round tho world, and there are few countries which Herbert Lewis has not visited, and lived for somo time In Montreal, In Can ada. . Prttchard Morgan and Brynnlor Jones know the extremist ends of Aus tralia, and Tom Ellis visited many cities In tho east and In South Africa In his quest after health. Samuel Smith was in the east when he was selected for Flint shire. Frank Edwards spends a great portion of his time abroad. Major Jones has lived In the United States, D. A. Thomas is at present on the way o Al giers,' and Lloyd George knows France and Switzerland exceedingly well. An explanation Is given by the Camar- von and Denbigh Herald of Saturday, as to the reasons why the North-Western Railway company recently dismissed a number of their Welsh-speuklng servants on the Holyhead railway. The reason furnished by a leading railway official Is that tho step was taken owing to the more rigid regulations of tho board of trade. The Instructions to the permanent way men were printed In English, which the dlsmlscd men could not read. The company took tho step after careful con sideration In their' own interests and thoso of the traveling public.

Hothouse lettuce is as green, crisp and nice to have as a new banknote. Too much Indian pudding has had the effect to make somo children yell.

A few weeks of Teutonic cookery will make a man quarrel with his best friend. About this time look out for aggravat ing tales of strawberry eating In Florida. A sliver sardine knife and fork combined is something nuw, but awkward to handle. A fricasseed chicken menns a fowl that had no longer any romance or tenderness In It. It Is against the law to shoot part ridges now, but not a violation to cat them. Mince pies nre still seasonable, and so are the nightmares that often follow them. Small patties, served by caterers at din ner parties, are often a delusion and a Bnare. America now Cans "French peas," de clared to be fully as palatable as the Im ported.
