Churches and the Benevolent and
Charitable Religious Societies.
During the past week the usual ac
tivity In church auxiliary work has
:onsiclerably decreased owinp to the ef
fects of the blizxard. Several meeting"
5f great interest to church workers
were, postponed, arid, 'the promoters
hesitated to decide upon another date,
until milder weather could bo antici
pated. Last Sunday's congregations were
materially affected by the severe
weather, and some of the churches had
1 meagre attendance. A large congre
gation, however, was attracted to Kim
Park church by the announcement that
:he ever popular Chn plain Mefabe
would be present. The renowned
tireacher, however, was snow bound on
the Jersey coast, and Jlev. W. II.
Pearce delivered an excellent sermon
In the morning on "Missionary AV'ork."
The sermon deserves more than pass
ing mention, for the bold manner in
which the reverend gentleman com
mented upon the llluslonary and stereo
typed phrases' relative to the growth of
foreign missionary work. He argued,
In a powerful manner, that instead of
being satisfied with the progress of the
ivork and expecting the millennium to
arrive In a mechanical manner, Chris
tian workers should seize upon the
present opportunity which disclosed lt
lelf of "bringing back the world to
Bod."
F.ostcr Church Music.
The time Is rapidly approaching for
the commencement of Kaster music re
hearsals, and It Is to be hoped that n
wise and discreet selection will be
made by those In charge. The first
ronslderatlon should be to select music
within the capabilities of the members
of the chorus, yet not to repeat the old
numbers which have done duty hither
to. Scranton Is undoubtedly a musical
:lty with musicians of great merit, but
each year should record undoubted
progress. It must be admitted that
ome of the church musicians have an
exaggerated love for some dear old
pieces which, while being compositions
of great excellence and merit, do not
always Improve by thenearer acquaint
ance of frequent repetition.
During next Easter there will be wit
nessed the usual friendly and courteous
rivalry between the various church
rholrs, and the members may rest as
lured that their work will bo watched
with keen Interest outside their own
churches.
Progressive Work.
On Thursday, Feb, 28, the members
of the North Main Avenue Uaptist
church will hold a public meeting' fur
the purpose of committing the mortgage
deed to the devouring flames. The
amount of the mortgage was JD.COO, and
this sum was discharged In October
last.. Rev. "W. O. Watklns, the pastor,
has worked most energetically to rid
the church of the financial Incubus, and
the success achieved will be his best
reward. At the public meeting remi
niscence of the early days of the
chinch will be given by a large number
of the oldest members, and reports will
be submitted of the work accomplished
by the auxiliary societies.
Friends and supporters of the Itescue
mission were delighted with the aus
picious manner In which the third anni
versary of the mission was celebrated
on Monday. One remarkable theme In
the uddresses of the speakers was no
ticeable, namely, that while the depres
sion in trade caused a corresponding
shrinkage in their incomes, they were
also compelled to lessen their contribu
tions to various charitable organiza
tions, but In the case of the Itescue
mission they had to make an exception,
ns they could not conscientiously with
draw any portion of their financial sup
port to such an excellent and deserv
ing institution.
A very commendable movement has
been inaugurated among the members
of the Green Itldge Primitive Method
ist church for the purpose of extinguish
ing the church debt by June HI. A
public meeting was recently held when
enthusiastic speeches were made by
prominent members urging their fellow
members to unite In collecting the
nmounl by the date named. Itev Dan
iel Havage, the pustor.and the members
of the church have worked Imlefatlg
ably, und are deserving of miccess.
Members of the Holy Trinity Luther
an church have resolved to make nn
earnest effort to discharge the debt on
the church by Kaster, and it Is hoped
that arrangements can be made to con
secrate the church on Trinity Sunday.
That Lutheran churchmen ore on the
Increase is evident from the following
statistics relutive to : The Church
Almunac for 1S9S writes the number of
communicant memlx-rs at 1.3:!2,!iu2; and
of ministers, ut r..4!i:.. It reports 3.400
parochial schools, with nearly 200,009
pupils in them. The benevolent con
tributions for the year (ten synods not
reporting) amounted to $!)O2,0U0; and the
editor says If correct figures could be
secured they would reach a million and
a quarter. There are 11C Institutions
for higher education, with 12.092 stu
dents, property valued nt 14,500,000 and
endowments amounting to more than
$1,332,000. Klghty institutions of bene
ficence 35 orphannges and 4", hospitals,
homes for aged, etc. with property
worth $2,327,000, endowments amounting
to $IS6,0.",0 und with 32,554 inmates. The
general synod nlmnnnc reports com
municant membership nt 1.305,319; the
Ohio synod's, at 1,4C2,217. . A writer In
the Standard, however, says that the
Ohio almanacs Includes nearly 69,000
baptized members of the Augustana
synod who are not communicants.

HER CLEVER IDEA.
How a Drlght Hostess Overcame the fond
ness for Evening Dress.
From the Troy Times.
A London society woman, wishing to
give a fancy ball recently, was besieged
by lotters after her Invitations were out
asking permission to appear In ordinary
evening dress. Alarmed at the prospect
of a colorless ball, she diplomatically
replied that any woman over thirty-five
might come in evening dress. The ball
was a brilliant affair, and every woman
came In a character gown.
Which story Is matched by one told at
a woman's club Inst week of the efforts
of a good clergyman to Interest the
women of his flock in some church
movement. "I will ask," said he at the
close of the sermon, "the elderly ladles
of the congregation to remain a few
minutes after the. benediction." He
found himself alone with one woman
the mother of the teller of the story,
who-at thirty-five was willing to sacri
fice herself for the sake of her pastor,
and remained to point out to him his
grievous blunder. The same notice,
differently worded, the following Sun
day secured a numerous response,
When Baby was sick, we gT her Castorta,
