As we went among them this week we found them .Very busy, indeed, getting ready for a celebration by the children, tomorrow, !Wh)ch will be observed by nearly all the churches throughout the city as "Children's Day," or Floral Sunday. This Is a time looked forward to by Che Httle ones with a great deal of pleasure. A few weeks beforehand email mite boxes are distributed among ithem, and then they begin to eagerly ' Jioard their pennies for children's day. Then, as part of the services, the boxes and offerings are received.

The corn mlttee having the work in charge de sired a different location than the one at Dalton, and they decided to try and rent Mr. Charles Schlager's pleasant house and farm at 'Lake Ariel., Ac cordingly they waited upon Mr. Schla- ger with a proposition and were told by him that he didn't care to rent his place. Of course the committee felt that it was useless to argue the mat ter, and were about to turn sorrow fully away when (Mr. Schlager said: "No, gentlemen, I do not wish to rent but I shall be more than pleased to give you the use of the house and farm for your work free." Mr. Schlager not only has the thanks of the committee, but of all who are Interested in Christian work.

Rev. W. H. Pearce will deliver the Baccalaureatesermonat Cazenovia col lege Sunday, June 16. Dr. Pearce's brother, Rev, L. H. Pearce, of Cortland, N. Y. will preach at Elm Park on that day. Says the Epworth Herald: Rev. W. H. Pearce, D. D pastor of the Elm Park church, Scran ton, Fa,, gave ut terance to some plain old-fashioned Method 1st sentiments at the recent ses sion of the Wyoming conference, which ought to be read and pondered by every member of the Epworth league. The point under discussion was "The Church Building a Social Need." "Where shall we go?" is the cry of millions. Some say to the club-room; but its delights are only temporary, they only touch the surface of the great deep wanting of our social nature, and very many of them are only gilded ways leading down . to perdition through easy, stages.- Others say go to the lodges of the various fraternities; but somehow they, at least, are only conventional, and an endless routine of paraphernalia; and, while we have nothing but words-of oommendatlon for many of them, ye there are experi ences in our dally life, and realms of loneliness in our souls, that He far beyond their temporary reliefs and ex pediencies." . Then after a plea for a church that . shall touch and help the' ' man ' on every side of his nature he diagnoses the church ailment everywhere as follows: "The trouble with the church today in all of our communities is Us formal ity, its excluslveness, and Its half heartedness." The magnificent church of which Dr. Pearce is pastor comes as near refuting ihls argument as any single church can. "Alas, we fear it is one of the few exceptions. The Ep worth league ought to see that churches of the class described by Dr. Pearce are the exception and not the rule ten years from now. Penn Avenue Baptist.

A NEW OPERA BY DR. J. J. MAS0X Will Bo Produced by Wilkes- Barro Ama teurs Next Week .Mr. Carter's Coming Recitals-Miscellaneous Musical Toples of the Day. The Wllkes-Barre Record gives the following In reference to Dr. Mason's new opera, which will be rendered at Wllkes-Barre next Week: The opera of Dr. J. J. Mason, entitled, "Catrln, the Maid of Cavenydva," will be sung at the festival of the Oratorio society on Wed nesday evening of next week. Natural ly a work of Its dignity and character will be heard with great Interest and pleasure, and particularly so since it hns been composed by one of our townsmen, and one who has done so much throughout his life for the cause of noble music. The libretto deals with a bit of pathetic Welsh history, the heroine, Catrln, being compelled to give up her lovor, the poet. Will Hop kins, who Is poor, for a young lawyer who Is very rich. The parents Insist upon obedience to their will, and the hapless maid being confined to her room without writing material Indites a few words to her" lover on a sycamore leaf with a pen dipped In her own blood and then casts It t,o the wind with the hope that It will somehow reach him. After marrying the young lawyer she loses her reason and "to Btop .her cries" her .poet lover was sent for, she dying during the "one hour" he was al-1 lowed to see her. II II II The author of the poetry is Professor Apmndoc. The music Is naturally of a dramatlo and sombre character, but It Is ever a faithful reflex of the words. It is conceived after the Wagner cult to a great extent, the story being de veloped logically from start to finish. The opening chorus, sung by the har vesters on their way to the flelds.Ms a most spirited and clever bit of composi tion. The other choruses are also very melodious and full of vitality and elo quence. A number of very charming duets occur at proper Intervals and the numbers for Catrln and Will Hopkins are very melodious. At various stages of the work three popular Welsh airs are Introduced very dramatically "Y Gwenlth Gwyn,"- "Rugall Morganny" and "Nos Golan." Will Hopkins sings "Y Gwenlth Gwyn" (The Blooming Wheat) most opportunely and if sung well by Mr.' MeKlnley wJU certainly prove very effective. The Oratorio society Is now rehears ing the opera with unremitting zeal and the members are all delighted with the various choruses. How well the work will go in concert form remains to be seen, but we feel sure in hazarding the opinion that it would prove a great suc cess if sung in the regular operatlo style with the characters all attired in the old Welsh costumes of a hundred years ago. II II II The service at Elm Park Methodist Episcopal church tomorrow evening will consist of special music A new quartette by C. Case, a coming com poser of great merit; a solo sung by PMCI worth 10c, Only 5c I 50c, Only 25c Miss Sullivan, composed by W. W. Jones, a young Scrantonian, and dedi cated to Elm Park Sunday school. The title is "Where Are the Angles, Mother?" and a familiar air accom panied by the voice, ingeniously ar ranged, constitutes the second subject. Solos by Miss Draeger and Mr. Wooler will also be rendered. II II II George It. Carter will give organ re citals In Jamestown and Olean, N. Y., and Bradford and Coudersport. Pa., June 17 to 21, assisted by Miss Winifred Sullivan and Alfred Wooler. II II II The Symphony society, composed of Scranton and Wllkes-Barre musicians, under leadership of Mr. Hemberger, will be reorganized next fall. It is probable that a few rehearsals will be held during the summer months, but no concerts will be given until winter. Scranton music lovers are exhibiting more Interest In the efforts of this ex cellent organization and promise better support during the coming season. II II II Miss Katharine Bloodgood, the con tralto, who charmed Scrantonlans at a concert at Elm Park church several weeks ago, was one of the soloists at the Binghamton music festival this week. Miss Bloodgood made a hasty call upon Mr. and Mrs. Carter on Wed nesday last, while on her way from New York to the Parlor City. II II II The Schumann club, composed of pupils of the Hardenbergh pianoforte school, will give a muslcale and recep tion at the Bicycle club house on June 14. The club members will be assisted by Miss Draeger and other soloists la the rendition of the musical pro gramme. The patronesses are Mrs. J. P. Dickson, Mrs. James Archbald, Mrs. E. N.
