IN THE RELIGIOUS WORLD
Railroaders of Scranton and Their
Mission Work.
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.

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

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

BOUCICAULT'S HAIR DYE.
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. .
