Humphrey, of Johnstown, delivered a powerful ad dress on the "Spirit of Giving," which contained many practical thoughts on the subject. Rev. A. H. Clallln, of Allegheny, delivered an address full of Interest to church workers, and among other features which he discussed the reverend gentleman deprecated the un seemly sectarian strife which exists In church life. He condemned the workers puffed up with pride at the work accomplished, when, probably, that work had prevented the develop ment of other churches. This unseemly competition was not for the conversion of souls, but the extension of church work, and he was confident that it was a more powerful factor for evil, than the work of Infidelity, lu the second portion of his address he dwelt on the certainty of the inspiration of the Hible. Rev. E. J. Morris, of Wilkas-Iiarre, presented the report of the American board of missions, which he said was in a special emergency owing to the great extent of its work, and the consequent expense entaUed.' None of the churches had done their share In supporting the board, which made a special request that every Congregational church, and every member, should assist them In their present difficulties. Large churches, well known In the district, had not contributed a single penny to the funds of the board for some years. Reports on Churches. Rev. R. S. Jones, I). D., of Providence, presented the report of the committee on the state of religion. The following reports were made as to the local churches: Hyde Park First church, Rev. 15. Jones, pastor No improvements, nor debts. The church in all Its branches is flourishing and In a good condition, doing its work faithfully to the Master. Providence Welsh Congregational church No special Improvements of late, -nor debts. The church In all its business Is doing well. Quite a number of persons have been added since the commencement of the year: First Congregational church, Pittston Our house cf worship has been ireno vated outside since the last association mtwting. It was papered, painted, varnished and the electric light Intro duced. All the old debt was paid be fore we began improvements, and we expect to pay the present debt In the near future. The church received a blessing from Kvangollst Schlverea's visit to our city. The church has been revived and twenty-six converted, and the Influence of that awaking Is con tinuing, the fire then kindled Is still burning, and our hope and'. prayer Is that his visit this summer will he fol lowed with similar results. The Sun day school has increased in number, In terest and efficiency. The Christian Endeavor is progressing very favor ably. The members folt an Interest 1n the work, and therefore they must pros per. A new church was organized at Duryea, Jan. JO, iSa, by members that were dismissed from this church for that purpose. ' After the devotional services at the afternoon session, the meeting consid ered the place of next year's meeting, and It -was decided that Rldgcway be selected. Hcv. Unvld Jones' Popcr. In reading hta paper on "The Dlacon- ate," Rev. David Jones, of Lincoln ave nue, said: "I was taught when a child to honor the brethren that fill this im portant office, and I have not changed my views to the present. It seems to me, however, that those worthy' people are not receiving their dues In our churches In the present day. They are among the best people of the churches, yet as oHicem they are almost totally ignored, and I am here to npeak a word In their behalf. My first proposition Is that this office Is not what It used to bo, In power, efficiency or respect. It Is not on the name 7lnne an it was originally placed, nor does It enjoy the reputation of years gone by. In order to verify this statement we must hur riedly see what the poxltlon of the of fice was In the apostolic church, and compare with It the power, authority and eminence we give the dlaconate In our day. 'It is the boast of every true Congre- gatlonallst that our church govern ment Is Identical with the apostolic one, and that It is the simplest and most elllclent of all church politics.. This is particularly true as far aa the number 1 of offices recognized In the church. We have but two, the pastorate and dlacon ate, but It appears to me that we are drifting away from our original posi tion, inasmuch as we make much more ,of vocations that are of recent .origin than wo make of the dlaconate. Office That Entiiils l.nbor. "The olllce presupposes work. Re cause the work was too much for the apostles, they called olhcrs to help them, -who were afterward called dea cons. The dlaconate Is dimply the business part of the ministry. If. the apostles were able to do all the work, the dlaconate would not huve been es tablished, but Inasmuch as they had no time and that It would be unwise for them to leave the Word of God to serve tables, they advised the church to elect seven men to help them. According to the IMbllcnl and apostolic Idea, they are to serve tableH, that Is, they are to superintend the temporal or monetary affairs of the church. To this purpose the olllce was brought into vogue. "It Is unwise on the part of the pas tor to Interfere with the business nf f U'lra of the church and ait the same time neglect his own speclllc duties, and on the other hand the deacons should be careful to do their special work before attempting to do that which Is planned out for others. The apostolic Idea of the dluoiuimte was work, and that In a special direction, the business affairs of the church. "This leads us to notice the statufl of the dlaconate among us. In the llrst place l venture to say that our actlotiH ure neither Hlbllcal nor apostolic In muny Instances regarding this olllce. In many of our churches the olllce Is ulmost extinct. "I am afraid that persons have been elected to the dlaconate for the only reason that they have been faithful members; it Is a compensation for li:ird work la years gone by; they are not ex pected to work; the season for work Is passed before they are elected, and this Is the reason why so many aged persons are elected deacons. No doubt you have noticed that If a member be uneasy owing to a bad heart or a bad liver, that the otllcers are his targets; lit shoots at them continually, and it may ibe the best way to bring hlui to a si use of duty by electing hi in a dea con." I'leo for Special Training. Mr. Jones afierw'ards showed the lack of qualifications so general in holders of the dlaconate, and made a plea for special training. In conclusion he said: "I am not ready to bury 'this olllce It has been of service and can be again. We ought to endow it with its former respect and authority. Give the dea cons a season to regain the .confidence of the churches. If there be ministers or churches represented here today who have monopolized that which Vas originally intended for those ollieos, let them return It without delay. This of fice will be restored to Its former glory and etllelency when ministers and churches give It fair play, and when those elected be tilled with the Spirit of God and the earnestness that becomes their position." Resolutions were pa.ssed regarding the growth of lynch law and beseeching all religious bodies In the States, where such offenses had occurred, to speak with no uncertain sound for law and order. The following were elected as the committee on the Messenger: Revs. II. M. Bowden, Rraddock; Charles A. Jones, Kane; David Jones, Scranton, and A. H. Claflln, Allegheny, the latter to act as business manager. The fol lowing were elected the "business com mittee:" Rev. J. S. Upton, Ridgeway; Rev. D. M. George, Pittston; Rev. A. II. Claflln, Allegheny. Rev. J. S.Upton, of Kldgewny, read an instructlve'paper on "Religious Giving, Old and New," after which the Wo men's Missionary union report was pre sented, and was regarded as highly satisfactory. Rev. Mr. Claflin's Report. Rev. A. H. Clallln, of Allegheny, pre sented his report upon the Congrega tional Messenger, from which it ap peared that at the close of the previous year a deficit of $.",0 was paid, but trie present year would show a profit. At the evening meeting the church was crowded when 'the annual meet ings of the Congregational Home Mis sionary society and the Sunday School and Publishing society were held. Rev. William Klncald, D. D of New York, delivered an address at the first meet ing and W. A. 'Duncan, Ph. D., of llos ton, Mass., at the latter meeting. A meeting of the Women's Mission ary union was held this morning at the "lunch house" under the presidency of Mrs. Jones, Philadelphia, Miss Sadie Swift, of Kldgewny, acting as secretary.
