Browe, Miss May Bio we, Mis Grace Stone, Miss Maud Miller, Albert John son, Andrew Smith and Thomas Hall; Jermyn, Rev. D. J. Williams, C. E. Helmes and Miss Mary Okell. There were also a considerable number of friends present to listen to the delibera tions of the meeting. President Keller Introduced Rev. A. B. Browe, of Waverly, who conducted the devotional exercises, after which J. W. Browning, of the Penn Avenue church, read & paper on "The Young People's Movement In Its Relation to Good Citizenship." The speaker pre sented before his audience the oppor tunity afforded, to young people at the present time, as he believed that his tory was repeating Itself, and that in the coming reform God would provide the leaders. It might be that some of those present would be called upon and placed at the head of the movement. A study of national .life would show them many features of danger. Among the prominent public men many would be found who were not conversant with the fundamental doctrines of Christian ity. The '.prevailing ' corruption and bribery was sapping the life of the na tion, young men and young women were being led to a life of shame, publio offi cers were corrupt and it behooved Church organizations to rise In ! the lgnlty of their power and demand that ten of action be elected to places of power. ' : Who Should Do It. 1 It was time to stem the tide and the 72 pieces fancy Dress Goods, worth 50c. to 69c. a yard, Only 39c 49 pieces fancy Dress goods, worth 29c. a. yard, Only 19c 36 pieces, "new shades," 36-inch ''Serge,',' worth 25c. a yard, Only 15c 75 dozen all Linen Towels, 1 yards long, worth 25c, Only 121c 16 pieces Table Linen, bleached and unbleached, worth 56c, Special 35 C. a yard I case unbleached, yard wide Sheeting, worth 6c. a yard, x 0nly3lc 60 pairs Curtains, 3 yards long, worth $2.00, Only $1 .9 75 pairs Curtains, worth $1.50, question was, Who should do It? God had placed the. 'balance of political power in the hands of young people, and they had votes enough to turn the tide in the direction desired. Why not, therefore, start together with the ob ject of securing better government? One question to be dealt with was, If they could accomplish their object without taking part in politics, and ho replied: "No, impossible. People who did not take part in politics were not patriots, and a man was not a com plete Christian if he was not a patriot. In some minds politics were filthy, low and degraded, and It was for Christian people to remove tho stain. A new era had opened, and their time had come. They must attend the primaries and elections to select the right and to elect loyal and righteous men to guide the state so that peace could be secured and the people made happy. This was the time to act and this was the work for young people to do, the responsibility was upon them, and which God would require to be ful filled. Rev. Warren G. Partridge delivered an address on "The Educational Feat ures of the Young People's Movement," and pointed out that the Baptist com munity had thirty-three millions of dol lars Invested in colleges, academies and schools of higher grade,' which was more than was possessed by any other evangelical denomination In North America, so that the rising generation of the Baptists should have the hearti est sympathy with all efforts for higher education. The reverend gentleman made an effective argument that in tellect and education were more es sential In Christianity than emotion, and it was as paramount a duty to teach as to evangelize. The mistake was made by some churches of laying stress upon the conversion of sinners Instead of, also, training the young con verts. This, was a recognized feature of the young people's movement, to train the young people, to provide proper literature, and already the movement had given them such books as "Life of Jesus," "Short History of the Baptists." The weekly paper of the movement should be placed in every Baptist family and it would assist in giving 'them an intelligent conception of their own denomination and would supplant the trashy literature in the shipe of fiction, which the devil him self had concocted for the ruin of young people. For the price of a packet of cigarettes they could now buy a volume of the works of Shakespeare, Macau lay, Ruskln, Carlyle and other famous writers, and the course arranged by the movement would compose these works as well as those of authors of all na tions and' all ages. Bible Systematically Read. The Christian culture course com prised studies in which the Bible would be systematically read in four years, the missionary course giving the de velopment oft missionary work from the A pout olio times to the present days, and the-sacred literature course com prising the history of the church and doctrines. Each course would occupy four years' study. ' Rev. W. G. Watkins spoke on "Ths Spiritual Aspect of the Young People's Movement," and dealt largely with a comparative . statement . of the voting; power of the Roman Catholics and Christian Protestants In this country, his object being to show that It was the duty of the Protestant churches -to reach the eight million Protestants who were professed Christians and who should be brought within the Influence of the church. The address was emi 3 yards long, Only QOc THE nently practical and emphasized the need of the sanctifying influence of the Holy Spirit in all movements for the benefit of the community. Miss Sarah Krlgbaum read a paper on "How to conduct a Junior Meeting;" Miss Celia Lewis, of Hyde Park, on "How to Conduct a Consecration Meet-' Ing;" and Miss May Bl'owe, of Waverly, on "How to Conduct a Conquest Meet ing," all of which were highly com mended. In a general discussion on the ques tion of the consecration meeting. Rev. D. C. Hughes, in referring- to the roll call, when members related their ex periences, said that formality in any religious service was distasteful to him and he thought that nothing was so distasteful or offensive to the Heaven ly Father as the words of the Hps which had no corresponding feeling in the heart. They should avoid all pet phrases and say nothing on which the Individual coin of thought would be im pressed so as to be current in Heaven. J. W. Browning agreed in the senti ments and thought that when the sec retary started to call the roll the Holy Spirit Went through the door. The Evening Session. The evening session of the young peo ple's rally in the Jackson Street Bap tist church opened at 7.30 o'clock with a song service led by the choir of the church. Rev. Mr. Douglass, of Clark's Green, read Scripture and Rev. D. C. Hughes offered prayer. Rev B, L. Herr, of Blnghamton, was speaker and was Introduced by Luther .Keller. Mr. Herr's remarks were interesting and in structive to the young people. His talk was full of . incidents pertaining to Christianity. His main point was that organization was a means of power, and In order that organizations might be effective thpy must have the conditions of power. For example, an engine may be filled with water, but is yet useless. In order to do work the water must be boiling and steam created, Mr. Herr thought that this Baptist Young People's union was one of the very ibest societies for de nominative strength.. . The speaker told many amusing and pathetic anecdotes which were received with - attention. After Mr. Herr had concluded, a conse cration service was held, and many words of hope were spoken. Remarks for the 'benefit of the society were made by Dr. Hughes, Rev. T. J. Collins, Rev. Watkins, B. G. Beddoe and others. The meeting closed with singing. .. ' Events of the Week. An unusually active week for the clergy of this city has Just closed, and almost every clergyman in the city has had extra calls upon his time. Minis ters of the MethodtBt church, after at tending the closing sessions at Carbon dale, returned home to attack the work which had accummulated during their absence, and some made a hurried re turn to arrange for their departure to their new homes.. The Presbyterian ministers have been In session at their Presbytery from Monday i night to Thursday ' afternoon and transacted a considerable amount of Important busi ness. ' One feature noticeable at the Presbytery, which was also observed at the Wyoming conference, was the de sire of the ministers not to reckon In their statistics those members who Ceased to be under the discipline of the church. The Bteps taken at the Pres bytery would, at first, seem to be of a most drastic nature,' but when 'fairly inquired Into, they ' present the only course which could be adopted. ' The Presbytery comprises . ' ninety-nine churches, two or three of which are re 60 dozen Ladies' Fine Embroid ered Handkerchiefs,worth 25c Only12jc 800 dozen Ladies' Fine Fancy Handkerchiefs, worth 5c, Only 2C Ladies' Kid Gloves, Foster .hooks, $1.00 Quality only - 71c 1.25 Quality enly - 91c Ladies' Seamless Hose, warranted fast black, 19-cent Quality - 10c 25-cent Quality - 19c Ladies' Gloves, silk, lisle and taffeta, ' 25c.

In two cases orders were given for their dlBbandment, but provision was made for retaining the members within the church if they desired to do so. The only church in the Presbytery attended by colored members, viz: the Covenant church, WUkes-Barre, was reported by Dr. Webster, to be one of these, and will be disbanded at an early date. The Congregational ministers have also been called from the city to attend tho Trl-county conference at Blossburg. The Baptist pastors were yesterday en gaged In holding a young people's rally at the Jackson Street Baptist church, and the Catholic and Episcopal clergy have been busily engaged with their Easter services. Carl L. Weisswasscr's Case. In all probability the last public an nouncement has been made regarding the case of Carl L. Wlesswasser, as the commission have very wisely decided to keep their decision, if any be arrived at, in abeyance. Mr. Wlesswasser has practically emerged from the Inquiry with credit. He confessed his guilt In deserting his family, but proved that he made pecuniary arrangements be fore his departure which kept them from destitution. He also pleaded guilty to deserting his church and pul pit, but Judging from the provocation he received his punishment could not be severe. These alone are the charges which could be preferred against him, and it is doubtful If they are sufficient ly serious, although proved, to restrain the presbytery from removing his sus penson. By the rules of discipline it Is, however, necessary that the suspension shall continue for six months, and In the meantime he will probably be found employment as an engineer or other suitable vocation. Rev, A. Lange's case, in which charges affecting his ministerial char acter were made by members of the same church Hickory Street Presby terian were not Judicially Inquired into, but it Is understood that sufficient Is known of the case to state that the charges are groundless and Incapable of being supported. It was suggested by some members of the presbytery, Irl conversation, that the members of the Hickory Street church should be placed upon their trial for the sake of a change, as the continual complaints against the pastors were becoming monotonous. It affords a lamentable Illustration of the factions which some times divide a church and lays a sec tion of the members open to the charge that they forget that the object of the church Is for worship, rather than 'a secular association where they can vent their personal spleen. "Let brotherly love continue" should be painted in large letters in a prominent position In the Hickory Street church. Itoms of Personal Interest. Rev. E. McLeod and Rev. T. R.
