SUNDAY IN THE CHURCHES
fromitent Quartette of Vocalists at
the Second Presbyterian Church.
MISS KAISEK SANG AS AKIA
Sho and Miss l.ydia Michel. Fresh from
European Training. Are a Delight.
Prcbytcrjr Committee's Work
Among tho Foreigners.
At the Second Presbyterian church
yesterday the musical programme, ren
dered by a quartette, which had been
secured for the occasion, was one of
unusual excellence, notwithstanding
the choir had but one rehearsal.
Miss Sadie Kaiser, the Wllkes-ltarre
soprano, was heard for the tlrst time
since her return from Kurope. Miss
Kaiser saiiK "The l.or.1 Is My Light."
by Marsh, at the monilnir service, and
the aria. "I Will F.xMl TIum'." from the
oratorio. "Ml." In the evening. In both
Relictions her tiiiitriillUvnt voice was
heard to good advantage, and the ef
forts of her studies In tlie Kim'llsh con
servatories were apparent In the (treat
Improvement In her methods.
Miss bydia l'lchel, niexxo soprano,
who has tecently ivtnnied from a
course of iiiusU-iiil study In 1 !ermany,
sang iiltn in the quartette. Miss l'lchel
rendered a solo, "Jesus Lover of My
Soul," by Tours, at the morning ser
vice. In an artistic manner. Her
voice, always rich and sympathetic,
showed a wonderful Improvement, and
her style was most plensluu. Moses
Morgan, basso, and Thomas Iteynon,
tenor, completed the nnartet te. and
Mr. Ucynon sang "Kternal Rest." by
I'li-eolomlnt. at the evening service.
Mr. Beynon's performance was excel
lent. The quartette's morning and
evening sp.-elnl selections were respec
tively "I Will Call TlHin Thee" and
"lSomim Kst." both by Buck.
Vocall-ts Were Accompanied.
The vocalists were fortunate In being-sustained
by Organist lleorKe
Xoyes Rockwell, who had charge or the
musical services, and who Is one of
the best accompanists in the city. The
Impression made upon tho congrega
tion by the pleasing efforts of the
quartette was marked, and the return
of quartette music, which scented to
be most favorably received by the con
gregation. The two services wvre of especial In
terest. In the morning Rev. lr. S. C.
I.ogan. as secretary of a committee of
the Lackawanna presbytery, made an
eloquent plea In behalf of the commit
tee's work among people of foreign
tongues in the coal fields; In the even
ing the pastor. Rev. Dr. Charles K.
Rohlt son. delivered A most scholarly
jind thoughtful addivss. lllustraling the
necessity of breadth and practicability
of learning among tho most scientitie
biblical critics.
Colonel 11. M. Boles, president of the
committee. In Introducing Dr. Logan,
very attly Illustrated the purpose of
the committee and the dire neds of
Its work. He cited the different condi
tions between twenty-five or thirty
years aro when the German, Irish tind
Welsh miners wetv In the majority,
and who, by reason of their know ledge
of Kngllsh. readily grasped the require
ments of t'ood and successful citizen
ship, and now. when the majority of
hand labrrers In the mines are Hun
garians, Polanders and Italians, who
know or can learn little or nothing of
the country's language and customs
and consequently menace themselves
and the communHy. For the one class
It was easy and natural to succeed,
while with the present class It is
against natural laws unless those In
terested In the welfare of this region
and country pnlnt out the way.
In Illustrating his point President
Boles mentioned John Jermyn, one of
the wealthiest and most successful, an
thracite operators In this country. He
said: "Thirty years ago John Jermyn
ate ai frugal meal off a deal board; he
and his wife on opposite sides of the
board were seated on powder kegs.
Today Mr. Jermyn Is preparing to give
his family a meal In a magnificent
structure, the value of which will ap
proach a 'half-million of dollars."
President Roles argued tlfat such a
change In conditions was possible
through influences of a quarter of a
century ago which existed today, but
the change of nationality among tho
miners made It necessary that they
should be taught to grasp their opiwr
tunlties. The Work Outlined.
In explaining the work of the com
mittee Dr. Logan was logical and con
cise an.l spoke wirh much feeling. Ills
remarks are well eehoi-d In a circular
distributed by the committee and
which, after reciting the fads and ex
isting conditions, has this to say of
what should be done;
We have already tested and know the cf.
floleni:y of the measures we now suggest;
and ask vou to help us to provMu tho
th.ngs needed. They are these
K:rst A .'ree k'nderarten, In every
i-omiiiiin.ty, for the child.v-n, v ho in rum
year will learn enuugh of ih language
and ways of our homes to place them on
the highway toward our system of educa
tion, and worthy free life, and these chil
dren will hr:n their parents with them,
in due time.
Second A sufficient number of nlirht
schools for teaching Knglish speech mid
Chr.atlan truths to the whole body of their
youth, from the aires of lu to IS years;
who by reason of ixiverly and home con
ditions are compelled to work every day.
and are thus deprived of the privileges of
an fdncntion In the day schools, already
provided These nlirht schools will also
be a great help to the ailull population.
Tnlrd Kvery permanent community
must have, its house of worship; with such
religious instruction as has been found ab
solutely necessary for the maintenance nf
Christ.an society in our whole national
life and history.. Such a number of mis
sionaries must be provided, ns wJfh
knowledge, both of the Kngllsh and of tho
tongue of the masses of these poor as in.iy
be ublo to bring them Into intelligent con
nection with our moral and religious ac
tivity. Now In order that such a scheme of phil
anthropic and Christian work may be car
ried out economically, anil efficiently,
there must be some direct, reliable and ef
ficient administration and supervision.
This, the Presbytery of Lackawanna, cov
ering Hi" whole field, has attempted to
supply by committing the Work to Its ex
ecutive committee; consisllng of pastors
nd hiislnes meti whose well-known
character mav he accepted us a guaranten
throuirhout the coal llelds, of a work,
worthy of confidence.

CLOSE OF THE MISSION.
Final Sermon Was Delivered by Rev.
lather Uurkc.
Two weeks ano yesterday Fathers
tturke, Cullen and O'Callahan, Paullst
missionaries from 'Lexington avenue.
New York, where the main house of the
order Is located, began a mission In Ht.
John's church, South Bide, and It came
to a close last evening.' The first week
was for the women of the parish, the
week paBt for men. The final sermon
was preached by Father Burke. In a
fervent and brilliant discourse he ex
horted all the men to persevere In the
good path, follow out .the object for
which they were created and have re
course to prayer and the sacraments as
fortifying safeguards against sin.
. The sermon was on the text, "He that
eateth me, the same also shall live by
me." He spoke of the miracle of the
loaves and the fishes that the Lord per
formed In feeding the thousands' .that
flocked to the desert that they might
there In solitude adore tlod and nur
ture their soul. This great miracle Is
a prototyiie of the last supper of the
Sou of Ood. at which the bread was
broken and the Savior changed the
bread and wine Into His body and
blood. There Is now. and has been,
since that supper, present In the taber
nacle of every Catholic ultar the same
divine presence and tlod Is always wait
ing to hear the voice of the sinner ask
ing for grace.
I'alher l:in ke urged all to partake of
the body ami blood of Christ very
often, for as the worldly food nurtures
the iHidy. the spiritual food gives life to,
the soul, and on the last day, when
mankind comes to be Judged, those who
.have eaten of the flesh and drank of the
blood will be rewarded, for the Savior
Will see His own blood In their veins
and will invite them to come to the
kingdom of His father. The congrega
tion stood up and a renewal of the bap
tismal vows followed. On the Ittcssed
Virgin's Fide of the church ws erected
a baptismal font.
In taking leave of the people Father
lturke thanked the people of the parish
for the fervent and generous responses
to all the services of the mission; the
pastor, .Kev. K. i. Mclley, for the noble
assistance given them, the choir for the
music, and be begited that If any ucl,
word or omission of the missionaries
offended any one 'that forgiveness
would be granted them before they
leave to begin lu some other place their
work of bringing souls to tlod.
'Father llurke and Father Cullen will
leave today, but Father O'Callahan
will remain until Wednesday evening
to lecture at the close of tho contest for
the silk tlag.

mixed up In the. fight and a woman
named Hosey Pugllann, GO years old,

A SERMON ON CONTINUITY
Delivered by Kcv. Dr. W. H. Tcarce
at Elm Park Church.
UAKXEST AXI) THOIGHTI'LI.
Tells What the Meana Arc of Securing Our
Continual AhlJina in tliu ionsclou
Enjoyment oftioJ's l ove and
llow to Secure Thorn.
A good sermon for Christians to have
heard was tha't on "Continuity.'
preached in Kim Pink church yest-r-ilay
morning by the pastor, Rev. lir. W.
II. Pearce. Ills text was from John, xv,
!, "Continue Ye Inl.Vly Love." He snlil:
"Vou will readily discover that the
precious truth here sit forth Is that of
unbroken continuity lu the llow of that
divine love which falls In Its gentlest
and mlKhticut beams only on the In-art
Wiat aspires .toward tlod. The whole
trend of this divine word In Its brilliant
am!' positive uttei..in.-es goi to hIiow
ii.ia't it Is possible for the Christian,
Mint It Is one of his high and large privi
leges, to make his whole life one long,
sweet, conscious, abiding In the love
of tlod; that all through the stretch or
t'.ie days and nioirths and years, wlt.h
their varied experiences, he may yet
feel 'himself tlod enclosed, and the sun
light or divine love shedding Infinite
lustre all over 'his heart.
"Hu.t what an awful contrast to this
splendid possibility and high prlvllego
do wv ofiten experience In our own lives.
Instead of an unbroken line of llc.lit
what do we find? A dot of light, and
then a ptretch of blackness, anil then
another little sparkle, scarcely visible,
short lived, folowed by another loin'
track of murky mld-nlght! mwj few of
us have anything but gleums of sun
shine, will cry, weak, cloudy, brief, and
then the doleful veil Ih drawn over the
blue and we walk In tin- valley of
shadows und sigh out the lonliness of
our hearts among fhe mists of discon
tent. Oh. let those of us who have felt
nt any time that we dwelt lu .the light
of Cod's face and -that our souls were
being sunned with Ills love, see to it
tihut the highest purpose of our re
deemed life Is to unite there severed
links and turn .t'hem Into a continuous,
unbroken, resplendent line of holy fel
lowships with tlod. And In this we will
find the true .secret of all true blessed
ness, the very t'hreshobl of heaven.
He Will Have kindled 11 l ire,
"If we walk In 'the peaceful enjoy
ment and conscious possession of the
Infinite love of Ood. we will have kin
dled a fire uion the altar of our hearts
whlcih will keep the Whole life in a
glow of ik-light and Inspiring ihope, even
In the blackest night of time; we will
havd extracted the soreness out of ev
ery wound, the l)itti-rness out of every
sorrow und disappointment; we will
have sandalb-d our feet for every rough
path; we will have made the thunder
und crash of our earthly discordances
the background on which shall sound
In Infinite und glorious combinations
all the majestic strains that exnlt,
purify and thrill; we will have bronchi
all passions and tastes ami findings
and ambitions Into such perfect ac
cord as to make our lives responsive to
any call of duty or sacrifice of love,
and we will ihave brought ourselves
Into a rest, wherein we dwell like the
inhabitants of some deep sunken dell
which .Is all still, without a breath to
move tihe thick fragrant blossoms on
the loaded trees even when the winds
are raving and the waves thundering
on the desolate and rocky coast.
"Hut the uur-stlon that pushes Itself
to the very front Is .this. 'What are the
means of securing our continual nhid
Ing In 'Che conscious enjoyment of (lod's
love?' Faith would very naturally
suggept Itself as first. All that "men
ever dldi well or nobly or lovingly in
this world was done by faith. It Is the
real basis of everything that Is groat
and worthy; It has revealed nnd glori
fied every hero; It 'has sutuined every
martyr at the stake as the red-tnngued
tlianie licked up his breath; It has
charmed more grief to rest than all
the philosophy of tihe world; It has re
manded to their dungeon more felon
thoughts, more black doubts and
wasting anxieties than there nre sands
on the seashore; It hasisung courage to
the vast army of the disappointed; It
has poured balm and consolation Into
the heart of ca'ptlves; It has oheered the
mighty host of reformers In the heat
of their perilous conflict, nnd it has
thrown into the bright constellation of
the moral heavens myriads of names
to the enraptured leholillng of men
and angels that would otherwise have
been lost In obscurity.
Kccoidsof the Triumphs of I'nith-
"That remarkable eleventh chapter of
Hebrews, wltih Its long roll of different
achievements graphically narrated, and
with Its splendid list of men and women
of every age and of every finality and
condition, slaves and freemen, leaders
and followers, warriors and statesmen,
saints and heroes, is the illustrious and
luminous record of thp triumphs and
achievements of faith. There are num
berless forms of energy, but none with
out hent; there are myriad colors of
beauty, but none without light; nil la
dark and black till the sun shines. So
a universe of possibilities of goodness
may spread out before us nnd the great
heart of the infinite tlod may open to
us with its rapturous Joys anil holy fel
lowships of dellgiht, but not oiie of
them can be realised unless we have
faith, for without faith it Is Impossible
to please (lod. oh, we never live sub
limely, we never live In 'the golden
atmosphere and among the divlnest
revelations of (lod to our poor souls,
until we live In Ihe argument, the elo
quence and the poetry of faith, and, un
til our faith becomes the music nnd
victory of our life.
"Hut we not only need faith to keep
us In the love of Hod, hut we also need
i)ie spirit of enlargement and growth.
'No man under the stars ever reached
the extremity, or the Alpine summit of
goodness by a single leap; it Is condi
tioned on continuous growth. If you
are urged to escape from polar winter,
with Its Ice nnd isnow and frost and
barrenness, to tropical summer, with lis
warmth and Mowers and birds and
fruits, It is not meant that you shall
accomplish the Journey at one stride.
When you require your child to become
perfect as a musician, you do not in
tend that In one day .his uncrafly fing
ers shall llbcrnte Ihe angel strains Mint
are Imprisoned In the musical Instru
ment, but you do Intend that he shall
muster the gamut and grope his way
along the .scales -through days and
weeks and months and years till at Inst
the Instrument shall tell Its secrets to
hi in and shake with many voiced de
lights at Wie touch of his friendly hnnd.
Ho, when Christ tells us to become per
fect as our Kntht-r in heaven Is perfect.
He admonishes us to grow In jrnce, to
