PASTORATE OP REV. R. S. JONES Dr. h. M. Gates and Ilis Sunday School Work Rev. J. C. Ilogan and His Appointment ' at Hosh-Othcr Items of Church Work. ' Although working In a quiet manner the Railroad Young Men's Christian association Is one of the most effective religious organizations in the city. The annual meeting, which celebrated .the fourteenth anniversary, on Monday night, showed tangible tokens of the great Increase In membership, work and Influence. At the previous anni versary the membership was reported to be 316, whereas by Monday night the number had Increased to 517. The Increase In all departments has been singularly consistent; for Instance, the average attendance at Sunday religious service lit 1894 was 163, but during the past year It had Increased to 256. The same comparison is shown In the at tendance at the car shop religious meetings, which, in 1894, was 14 on an average, tut during the last year was 33; but the total attendance at all re ligious meetings, 13,611, shows an enor mous Increase with 3,814 of the pre ceding year. Apart from the spiritual develop ment of the work there is a gratifying increase In the various other branches. There are 1,034 books in the library, as compared with 750 twelve months ago; 1,154 books circulated compared with 262. The railroaders are evidently a scrupulously cleanly section of com munity, as 3,714 baths were taken dur ing the year. The only feature in the report which calls for adverse'remarks is the evident lack of accommodations In the rooms. The following remark Is a fair criterion to the wants of the members: "The need which was urged last year for adarger building In which to conduct our work grows greater every day, and unless the need can be met In some way our work must In evitably suffer." The statement Is, however, vague and not satisfactory to the members. Who is to provide the larger building? Mr. Warburton said It rested solely upon the members, but there Is a concensus of opinion among all railroad owners that the associa tions are the greatest help In securing honest, faithful and loyal servants. The argument is, therefore, well made that if the railroad companies profit to an extensive extent, it would be but fair to expect them to assist their" em ployes In their efforts. There Is but one excuse for the delay, viz: the de pression In railroad traffic and the tem porary decrease in the revenue, and it Is to be hoped that with the revival of trade the Scranton railroaders will be In possession of more commodious and comfortable rooms. ' The members of the executive com mittee are: WMhim' Frink, 'chairman; E. K. Crothamel, treasurer; A. H. Mas ters, corresponding; secretary? "W. "F; Ace, J. H, Smith, C. J. Qanzemuller, M. V. Seeley, F. W. Fearsall,. MV. F Casi W. F. Curry, J. R. Troch, W. A. Berry, F. H. Belden, E.' M. Francis, atf of whom have contributed materially' to the success of the association. ' " ' ' ' . Bev. Reese Saron Jones, D. D., will tomorrow celebrate 'the twenty-third anniversary of his pastorate of the Providence Welsh Congregational church, and, probably, has the honor of being the only pastor who has occu pied the same pulpit In this city for such a long period. As his name in dicates, Mr. Jones is a Cymro, being a native of Carmarthenshire, South Wales, where he received his early training. During his honored career In both countries 'Mr. Jones has been an assiduous worker and a diligent stu dent, being a firm believer in the prin ciple that the Gospel should always be preached with intelligence, hence his sermons have always been scholarly, erudite and essentially of an educa tional type. Outside the pulpit his work has been along similar lines, and the unusual length of his pastorate testifies to the love and affection which exists between pastor and people. Having their abso lute confidence, he has succeeded in the honorable achievement of record ing continual and uninterrupted prog ress in the history of the church since his election as pastor. Although the Puritan church one of the ' leading churches of the North End Is an off shoot of the Welsh Congregational church, the mother church has con tinued to Increase in membership until the roll has been doubled. Eighteen months ago Dr. Jones also established a mission at Dutch Gap, which like wise has doubled in membership. Dr. Jongs Is one of the best known person ages -1-n the North End, and it would be difficult to enumerate the various movements In which he has assisted for the Improvement of his neighbors. As a pastor he has proved the success of his mission, and many are grateful to him for the guidance he has afforded them in this life. His wlso counsel and good advice, as well as his willing as sistance, are always at the service of the many who call upon him, confident that they, win be welcomed In all their troubles by one who has their welfare and Interest at heart, Tomorrow morning Dr. Jones will preach a sermon on "The Social Duties of the Church Towards the Young Men,' and a large congregation will doubtless be in attendance. I ' ',.; Events of the Week. i By special request, ' Dr. I M. dates read an excellent paper before a large meeting of the members of the Penn Avenue Baptist church on Wednesday evening on the Interesting subject of "The Obligations of the Church to the Sunday School. In opening his paper he asked the question, "Do we as a church appreciate the high privilege of our situation? Five new classes' In our Sunday school! .Young, plastic minds waiting to be moulded. The would-be philanthropist and reformer has not to go out to the highways and hedges to compel them to come in; they are waiting at his command. No de partment of church, effort Is better adapted to missionary work,, or holds out abetter promise of large returns than the Sunday school. Do we believe what has been taught us? Do we be lieve the Bible? Do' we really believe what we profess? Do we really believe that right here In Scranton, as truly as in- far-off India; that unless men accept the ; Lord Jeeus, Christ as their per sonal Savior thfey must be eternally damped." If we do believe these things, what more, could we ask. than to.be planted, as we are,,' In the midst, of a population not wholly, nay, only, par tially redeemed.1' The doctor then Im pressed upon his 'audience how the mind was; as the sensitive plate of a camera, catching and holding an im pression, of every ray that fell upon it Those that fell first were the plainest, the firmest and most lasting, and in speaking- of the necessity to train the children, and the lack of teachers, he ridiculed the excuses and deplored the sad fact that the church of today was wanting: in that devotion to the cause of Christ that would lead to sacrifice for lt3' advancement. t Dr. Gates then treated of the qualifi cations of a teacher and urged that al most all church members were pos essed of them to some degree, so that, comparatively speaking, none could ex cuse themselves on that point. Among the obligations he Instanced the benefit which would develop to those taking part in the work. Other points were mentioned in the paper which brought strongly to view the obligations which lay upon church members to assist to their utmost In developing the work of the church. During the week ground has been broken at the corner of Capouse ave nue and Ash street for the erection of the Slavonic Roman Catholic church. The building will be 80x38 feet, with a 10-foot basement running the entire length of the structure, adapted to school purposes. The cost of the edifice will be over $7,000. From the published statement of ac counts of St. David's church there la every indication of a healthy activity and consequent growth. During the year the sum of $704.86 has been paid toward the discharge of the bullalng debt and there is no doubt that by next Easter the whole amount will be dis charged. This pretty little church, sit uated in the heart of a district almost entirely composed of Welsh residents, is doing excellent work, thanks to the untiring efforts of the energetic band of workers who so willingly assist the rector, Rev. M. Horace Mill. E. B. Sturges' lectures at the Green Ridge Presbyterian- church, have at tracted crowded audiences. Upon each occasion. : 7- Frank ojones has presented a beau tlfuT brass altar-desk 'to St, David's church. 1 Ah oak' litany , desk and a handsome reredos have also beeii pre sented to the same church. '' Success' crowned theefforta .of the young "people; of ' the - First . ; Baptist church, Scranton street, in connection with the celebration of - "Founder's Day," ort Sunday. . William O. Morris read an excellent paper on "Our Gifts," la which he noted the gifts, for the good of the world' by Baptists and enumerated Buscher's "Religious Peace," Bunyan's "Pilgrim's. Progress;" the first Foreign Missionary society In modern times, organized In 1782, by Wil liam Carey and others in England; the first amendment to the constitution of the United States, as the result of the Incessant, agitations of Virginia Bap tists, and various other points which created a deep impression upon the minds 'of his hearers. Miss Edith Wil liams read an Interesting paper or "Our Sufferings," "and 'related Incidents in the lives of noted heroes and martyrs, who were Baptists. Miss Lavlnla Tom llnson also read an admirable paper on t'Our Songs." ... . 1 A very successful entertainment was held at the Presbyterian Mission chapel on. the .corner of Adams avenue and New York street on Tuesday evening, When a considerable "sum was netted for the benefit of the chapel fund. . .. A proposal has been discussed amdng the members of the Penn Avenua Bap tist church to open a mission school on the Sounth Side. It Is Interesting to ob serve that this energetic denomination have been so long unrepresented on the South Side, where it is known that a large number claim allegiance to the Baptist faith, and there Is every reason to believe that a flourishing Baptist church would soon exist in that pop ulous district. On every hand almost there are proofs of the energy and mis sion work of the Penn avenue church, and until the mission on the South Side is established, the work of the church will not be complete. At the annual meting of the mem bers of St. David's church, the follow ing vestrymen were elected: W. E. Thayer, Daniel Elslnger, William Blume, Charles Fraser, William H. Thomas, William M. Wilson and John Marchant. The newly elected vestry held a meeting during the week and organized as follows: William Blume, senior warden; Charles Fraser, Junior warden and treasurer; and W. E. Thayer, secretary. Miss Mamie Elslng er was appointed organist and Miss Martha Evans, assistant organist. Items of Personal Interest. Rev. Rogers Israel will preach a special sermon to members of the Order of Sons of St. George at St. Luke's church tomorrow morning. Miss Guthrie will conclude her engage ment as soprona soloist at the Elm Park church tomorrow, and will be succeeded by Miss Sullivan, who created a very fa vorable Impression a few weeks ago. Miss Hawlay, tho ofllclal visitor of Elm Park church, has been out of town for two weeks, owing to Illness. Dr. Raymond, chancellor of Wesley col lege, Mlddlotown, will preach at Elm Park church on the second Sunday In May. Rev. R. Heber Newton, rector of All Souls' church. New York, who created such a sensation by his sermon on "Resur rection of Christ," delivered last Sun day, preached at St. Luke's church. In this city, twenty-seven years ago, and his sermon on that occasion is still well In the recollection of some his audience. The sermon has been discussed In Scranton by members of various denominations and an unanimity of opinion prevails that as his statements could not be reconciled with the teachings of his church, the only course open to Dr. Newton was to leave the church. He has broken his ordination vows and Is In honor bound to leave tho ministry. If he remealns In the ministry his position will be a false one, and as Buch, his only course will be to resign his charge. ; During the week Miss Tomllnson, of the South Side association, and Miss Deacon, of Webster avenue, attended the PHtsburg convention of the Young Wo men's Christian association. ' Mr. and Mrs. Spalding will attend at the Providence PreBbyterlan church parlors fan Friday night. An unique programme has been provided. . Thomas Jehu (Llew-y-Bryn) will deliver a lecture on the subject "What Is That to You?" at the Welsh Methodist church, Providence, on Thursday evening, May 9, when the proceeds will be devoted to a charitable object. Great prepatations are being made by the members of the Welsh Congregational church for the entertainment which Is to be held on May 13. , Rev. J. C. Hogan, of Forest city. In conversation with a Carbondale Leader representative, said that he had not been but to see his new charge at Rush, but from tracing the location on the map he was of the opinion that the change In his quarters spoke plainly of the merits of the statement he lately made In this olty. Rush Is thirteen miles from a railroad and he would have to officiate . at three churches and a school house, thus neces sitating the purchase of a horse, carriage and sleigh. In shipping his household goods to that point three changes by rail and wagon would be nocessary, Involving some expense, but he did not confirm the rumor that he had decided not to accept the charge. , , Rev. T. J. Collins will read a paper on "Deutro-Isalah" at the regular meeting bf the BaptlBt Pastor's union on Monduy morning. The reverend gentleman will deal with the authenticity of the book of Isaiah and submit a reply to the efforts of the higher critics who attack the au thorship of the latter part of the book.

How SnUio Martinet Induced tho Old Bcnu to Advance llcr $500. Sadie Martinot, when she made her first appearance in San Francisco with Dion Boucicault, was, as she now Is, oa cunning and Jolly a dame as ever pressed her red Hps to a goblet of Pom mcry, says the News Letter. Miss Mar tinot used to tell a good story about Boucicault. In the later years of his life the great dramatist was very con ceited about his personal appearance. His long hair was carefully dyed every day with a preparation which he got from Paris. One morning Miss Martinot said to Dion: "Mr. Boucicault, I want $500. "Miss Martinot," replied the drama tist, "I cannot conveniently furnish you with that amount." "I am sorry," said Miss Martinot, "but I hope, when I call later on, that you'll be able to find the cosh for me." Next morning when Mr. Boucicault arose and went to perform the ordinary duties of his toilet he found that his hair dye was missing. He knew that Miss iMartlnot was acquainted with the whereabouts of that important article. He also knew that it would take him at least two months to receive a fresO In stallment from Parl9 In case his stock In hand did not turn up. At breakfait he said, very humbly: "My dear Miss Sadie, did you see anything of my hair dye?" To which that gifted and beautiful lady replied: "I assure you, Mr. BoucJcault, I found among my effects a mixture to change the color of the hair which closely ap- ....rtn .l,n,9 ..,,, tl T- oa T .an .1.11 WrtTY. the label." "And what is the price of that mix ture?" inquired Mr. Boucicault, bland ly. "Only $500," replied Miss' Martinet, with a witching smile. "How fortunate!" said Mr. Bouci cault. "I've got a check for that exact amount in my poket." "And how fortunate, also,", replied Miss Martinot; "I have the bottle in mine!" Mr. Boucicault took the bottle, Miss Martinot took tho check, and then over their black coffee thev chatted about the weather. . mt 4A L L m IRLSIAD SAI!'fiv& DYSPEPSIA- CQHSTIPATAOn CDESITY.GOUT eAND,KIDNEW COMPLAINTS.
