NEW WEST SIDE PASTOH
Kcv. J. 1. Moffat's first Sermon ia
the Washburn Street Charch.
COMES WELL KECOMMEXDEJ)
For Thirteen Years the Pastor of the
Weatherly :hurch-Lcblgh Presbytery
Gives Him Splendid Endorsement.
About Mrs. Moffat.
Rev. J. P. MoiTat, formerly of Weath
erly, preached his flrnt .sermon yester
day morning as pastor of the Wash
burn Street Preabyterlan church. Mr.
MoiTat and his wife arrived In Scran
ton last Monday, and Immediately oc
cupied their residence at 1122 Wash
burn street. He is the successor to
Uev. D. W. Skellenger, now of Wash
ington, D. C, who resigned last win
ter from the pastorate of the church.
The new pastor was born in Eliaa
bethtown, Uartholomew county. In
diana. He Is of Scotch descent, his father
havinr; been born In . Scotland. Ht
graduated from Hanover collepe, which
U located alon the Ohio river In In
diana. He also graduated from Prince
ton Theological seminary, taking- In
addition to regular, polleiriate course,
a iHst graduate course of one year.
In May, 1886, he -was married to Mary,
second daughter of the late Philip Hof
fecker, of Weatherly. One son was born
to them.
Mr. Moffat has a genial personality;
sincerity Is the prominent feature of
his character. He Is a middle-aped
man, heavily built, yet active. His
face is clean shaven and a clear, blue
eye shows the Scotch descent. In th?
pulult his manner is easy, though ef
fective. He does not use noteB during
his preaching;, but relies chiefly on ex
temporaneous effect. His ministerial
work began on May 19, 1N82, when he
received a call from the Weatherly
Presbyterian church. Since that time We
has continued as pastnr of this church,
though at numerous times Invitations
have been extended to him to take
charge of other Hocks.
The l.chigh Presbytery.
On Sept. 17, of the present year,
Mr. Mofiat received a call from the
Washburn Street church. After a
month's deliberation he accepted and
began duty yesterday. The esteem in
which he was held at the town of
Weatherly and thereabouts can best be
appreciated by the followlnc excerpt
from resolutions by the Presbytery of
Lehigh:
The presbytery of Lehigh, In consenting
to the dissolution of the pastoral relation
between the Kev. John P. Mofiat and the
Presbyterian church of Weatherly, do so
with regret and only because both parties
unite in the request and because from tho
representations made to us ' In sev
ering the connection the church loses a
pastor to whom It Is justly and strongly
attached, and presbytery, a fellow labor
er, whole record of usefulness and success
Is not surpassed by any co-presbyter dur
ing the time he has been one of us. When
he came thirteen and one-half years ago
the church numbered 60 members; 150 have
since been added on profession and by let
ter; many wanderers have been restored
to the fold, and although twice the origi
nal number have been lost by death and
removal from town, yet 140 active mem
bers are now on the church roll, thor
oughly united and loyal. At the time of
his Installation the church was dependent
on the Hoard of Home Mission for one
fourth of the pastor's salary, and was en
cumbered by a debt of nearly $1,000. In the
third year It became self-sustaining and
is now, and free from debt. During 'these
thirteen und one-half years the congrega
tional expenditures amount to nearly $24,
ouo and the church during the same time
has given to outside benevolent objects
$1,800. With good reasons his peo.
plo have been slow to assent 'to part with
a pastor whom they greatly love and
whose labors Hod has greatly blessed.
PreBbytery also with reluctance consents
to sunder the ties which have hitherto
bound them together. We pray
that the Master will bless him and his la
bors In the held of the Lord more than
ever before; and for the flock which he
leaves we pray that the head of the
church, according to His promise, will
give them a pastor after His own heart,
to feed them with knowledge and under
standing, to this end presbytery exhorts
them to make it a subject of much prayer
and that with purposes of heart they
guard against divisions and cleave to the
Lord.
The stated clerk of the presbytery of
Lehigh was directed to furnish a copy of
the above minutes to the stated clerk of
the presbytery of Lackawanna as expres
sive of the sentiments of this presbytery
and as a recommendation of the Rev,
John P. Moffat. A. M. Woods,
Stated Clerk, Presbytery of Lehigh.
The Pastor's Wlfo.
Mrs. Jl fn is the daughter of a
prominent Weatherly citizen, bhe has
always tn active In church work I'li'l
wns held li iigh reiruid In her natl
town. The Weatherly Herald says edl
tntiully t-r her: "In the removal rf
Rev. J. P. Mon'nt and wife, Weatherly
loses good citizens. By her kind dis
position, her genial and pleasant na
ture, and the sincerity shown In all her
work, Mrs. Moffat did untold good for
the church and womankind, endearing;
herself to all. She left Weatherly with
nothing but the kindest and best
wishes of all who knew her."
Mr. Moffat preached yesterday morn
ing from the text, "Jesus Christ, the
same yesterday, today and forever."
Hebrew, xiil, 8. The audience was a
large one. In referring to himself as
pastor of the church, Mr. Moffat said
that only with the co-operation of the
members could his work be successful.
In the evening the text wns taken
from Neheinlah, v, 15. Mr. Moffat gave
a brief history of the life of Nehemlah.
He told of his siteclal work In. Jerusa
lem and the condition of things when
he returned to the holy city. It was In
possession of a horde of robbers. The
people were robbed by the thieves as
Tammany pollutes the city of New
York. Nehemlah changed this awful
condition. But It was difficult to brine;
about a reformation. His position was
similar to that of Dr. Parkhurst. Tet
he conquered.
To Accomplish the Right.
Nothing will go right unless we be
singular In this world and stand up
alone against the masses in order to ac
complish, the right. The chief field of
moral action Is the daily conduct of hu
man lives. He who yields ,1s wrecked
and ruined. That there Is an absolute
necessity for this non-resistance to
evil is shown In the very make-up of
our natures. We are all thrown Into
dally contact with sinful humanity. Its
Influence. Easy yielding to the de
mands of the world bring out all sorts
of moral confusion. There Is nothing
more contemptible than a man who
can be affected by every Influence.
Another consideration: What a poor
excuse It will be on the Ureat Dav to
follow the vagaries of the world. The
only source to resist evil Is In Christ.
God In Christ, trusted In, loved, rever
enced, obeyed, Imitated, God in Christ
alone. Christ strengthens a man for
resistance and non-compliance to evil.
In Christ we have a perfect pattern;
we can imitate Him. Ood gives -us an
all-powerful motive; It strengthens for
resistance, because it gives the Omnipo
tent power for ourselves, -v
As the secret of negative forbearance
from evil take for your watchword.
"So did not I, because. of the fear of
Ood." As the secret of all positive al
legiance to God take as your motto,
"The love of God constraineth me."

COMING ATTRACTIONS.
Pablo Komonl Will ne Scan at . the
Academy This Kvening.
Concerning Alden Benedict's Fablo
Rnmanl, which will be seen at the Acad
emy of Music to-night, the New York
Sun says: "The story of the play is
sad, but mixed with the dark passage
of the sombre story were many enliven
ing scenes that helped to make the
whole a pleasant entertainment. Tho
promised realism came at the nd of the
drama in the earthquake scene. -Walter
Lawrence assumed the title role, and
was ably assisted by an excellent com
pany. Miss Theresa Milford Miss Ad
dle Farwell and Mr. Charles L. Forwell
were heartily approved In their several
parts, but the special feature was the
living pictures, the most beautiful of all
stage creations."
Nat Goodwin To-morrow Night.
The large demand for seats from all
over the surrounding country more than
demonstrates that the one great ambi
tion of our theater-goers is t6 witness
the first presentation to-morrow even
ing of Nat Goodwin's greatest success,
"Ambition," from the pen of Henry Guy
Carleton, one of America's most bril
liant writers. His work Is a fascinat
ing Bketch of American political life in
the highest circles. It is cleverly
wrought and sparkles with humor and
sentiment so cleverly mingled that
neither Interfers with the other. The
story of the play Is that of a man be
trayed by his most trusted friends, who
form to overthrow him for their own
ends, It depleting vividly the Intricate
machlnatlous of political dealers. The
Cuban question Is a most import
ant factor throughout the entire play.
Mr. Goodwin portrays the character of
a United States Senator and Chairman
of the Committee of Foreign Affairs.
In the part he has scored a veritable
triumph. It has been pronounced by
York's most competent critics to be a
grand climax in that great artist's
career and demonstrates his versatil
ity to be unequalled In the history of the
American stage. Mr. Goodwin's com
pany is an exceptionally strong one.
The piece will be presented Intact as
given at the Fifth Avenue Theater In
New York; In fact, everything Is all
that could be desired to round out his
ntory to a completeness at once natural,
artistic and sumptuous.
Uismouda nt tho Frnthinaham.
At the Frothlngham, Nov. 28, 29 and 30
will be presented 'Glsmonda." Sardou's
new romantic drama, which Fanny
Davenport originally presented at the
Fifth Avenue Theater, New Yora, and
which was declared to be one of the
most Interestingand dramatic playsever
turned out by, the great French master
of stagecraft. The present production
Is expected to prove one of the hand
somest, heaviest and most Imposing
ever given In this countrv. There Is no
other actress on the American stage to
day who Is capable of doing the role of
"Glsmonda" justice. It requires all the
lights and shades of acting, and from
comedy goes rlgnt Into the heavy dra
matic work, taxing the great artist's
ability to the utmost. Fanny. Daven
port, It Is said, has made the greatest
triumph of ner already successful career
In this part. She Is ably supported by
Melbourne McDowell, and an excellent
company. Sale of seats opens this morn
Ins at the box office at 9 o'clock.
White Squadron Wednesday Night.
The new "White Squadron" will be
the nt tract Ion at the Academy on Wed
nesday evening. In the third act, the
great maritime scene, the Congress of
Navies, appeals directly to the patriotic
spirit of every nationality and, as the
naval officers of this government are
represented as being In t..e breach on
every occasion, there Is no lack of In
spiration for local patriotic outbursts.
Over one hundred people are seen In this
act, as officers, marines and sailors of
the war vessels of the several partici
pating nations.
Oorinsns on Thanksgiving.
' There are no more popular people In
the dramatic profession than the Gor
mans, John, James and .eorge, who
win appear here In their new comedy,
"The Gllhoolys Abroad." No doubt
their many friends will greet them with
a crowded house. Their new departure
Is a great go.
John Gorman as "Jonathan Tubbs"
and Ueorge Gorman as "Owen Gllhooly"
are two of the big hits In farce-comedy
this season. "The Gllhoolys Abroad"
will be the attraction at the Academy
Thursday matinee and evening.
IavK' Theater.
What promises to be an unusually
strong attraction will be at Davis' the
ater to-day, to-morrow and next day.
It la Howarth's Hlbernlca and Blod
tcett Hyde's Comedians. Two seasons
ago the "Hlbernlca" packed this house
a week, breaking- all recorua up to that
time. As the company Is said to be
much better than any that ever traveled
with Howarth.undoubteo.y this engage
ment will be a successful one. Opera
chairs may be reserved during the after
noons for the evening- performance
they are not sold by numbers evening.
BIBLE SOCIETY'S MEETING
Was Held ia the Grees Ridge Presby
terian Chorea.
HAS EXISTED fOR 39 YEARS
Interesting Report by Agent Kennedy
Shows llow Bibles Are Distributed.
Well-known Men Ke elected Of fi-ecis-Koport
of the Treasurer.
Thirty-nine years of existence is the
proud record of the Lackawanna Bible
society, and under auspicious circum
stances the members and friends of the
society held the annual business session
last night In the Ureen Ridge Presby
terian church. The main auditorium
of the church was comfortably tilled
when ex-Judge Alfred Hand, the re
tiring president of the society, called
the meeting to order at 7.30 o'clock.
Kev. N. K. Stahl, pastor of the church,
preached the annual sermon.
The election of officers for the com
ing year resulted as follows: Alfred
Hand, president; J. L. Stelle, first vice
president; W. W. Lathrop, second
vice-president; Colonel H. M. Boies,
secretary; W. H. Richmond, treas
urer; William Connell, J. B. Van Ir
gen, Samuel Hlnes, Luther Keller, S.
L. Kerr and E. B. Sturges, board of
managers.
lis Many Anunnl dithering.
The report of Ajrent Kennedy was
read, and is in part as follows:
The fathers and moihers who organized
this society in lij.il have all pusseu on to
their heavenly rest, but they left behind
them a rich legacy of blessing for the city
and county In which we are permitted to
live. Wherever this feoclety has been in
vited and tho way made clear, it has held
an annlversury, presented a report and
taken a collection. These anniversaries
have been held as follows: In the Adams
Avenue Methodist Episcopal church,
twice; In the First Presbyterian church,
four times; In the Second Presbyterian
church, twice; in the Provldonce Presby
terian church, twice; In the Providence
Methoelst Episcopal charch, twice; in the
Providence armory, once; in the Carbon
dale Presbyterian church, once; in the
Hyde Park Simpson Methodist Episcopal
church, twice; In the Hyde Park Wash
burn Street Preabyterlan church, twice;
and In the Penn Avenue Baptist church,
It has adhered closely to Its appointed
work of gathering funds and distributing
Bibles without note or comment; and has
scattered throughout the county not less
than 60.00 copies, in many languages. Yet,
many homes remain unsupplled. The
Evangelists Moore and Shelhorn, while
conducting revival meetings on the South
Side, and afterward in Green Ridge, re
ported that they had found many fami
lies destitute of the Bible. To supply this
need on the South Side, I sent twenty-four
Bibles to Rev. J. L. Race, pastor of the
Cedar Avenue Methodist Episcopal
church, which Mrs. Race has been dis
tributing. At the request of Dr. K. G.
Dean, I sent, in his care, thirty-six Bibles,
which he promised to have distributed In
Green Ridge, and about the Archbald and
Sibley mines.
Six Bibles In foreign languages were
granted to Mrs. H. M. Bookstaver for her
mission work In the jail. Twelve octavo
testaments and psalms. In pica type, were
given to Mrs. George L. Fields, to bs
placed in cabooses for the use of railroad
trainmen.
Among tho Italians.
Seventy-five Italian testaments and
Esalms were donated to Rev. Leonardo
'Anna for hla mission work In Scranton
and vicinity, at the request of Miss Emma
L. Fuller.
The Christian Endeavor association at
Moosic and Avoca haa appointed a com
mittee for the purpose of circulating new
testaments In foreign languages among
the people in that part of the county.
Much the larger part of the families who
remain destitute of the Bible are such as
speak foreign languages. Special, and we
trust, wisely directed efforts, are being
made to prepare these people to receive
the word of God, first In their own tongues
and eventually In the speech of the people
to whom they have come.
At Peckvllle I made the acquaintance of
Rev. A. B. Kukol and his wife, Presby
terian missionaries among people of for
eign tongues, and supplied them with 122
copies of the Scriptures In six foreign
languages. He preaches to a mixed con
gregation of Bohemians, Polanders, Rus
sians and Lithuanians; and his wife
teaches a kindergarten composed of the
little children of these newly arrived fami
lies: and he teachts a nlitht school, made
up of wild, rough, strong and rapidly grow
ing boys, mule drivers and slate pickers,
from the mines, who speak Bohemian, Pol
ish, Slavic and Russian. Mrs. Kukol Is a
Bohemian who came to America In her
childhood, and waa educated In a normal
school in the city of New York, and Is a
lady of culture and ability. This is the
place to begin, with the children; and
these are wise and hopeful methods. The
process will be long and tedious, but suc
cess will eventually come, and these Bibles
and testaments will yet ylsld larga re
turns. When these little foreign children
become the progenitors of large families
In America, their descendants may present
a type of advanced Christianity even su
perior to our own.
Kefercnoo to C. P. Mattes' Doconscd.
A solemn and Important duty which we
are called upon to perform at this meet
ing Is the election of a vice-president In
place of our venerable and much revered
Charles F. Mattes, deceased. Mis connec
tion with this society as a manager dates
from IStio. He was one of our most cheer
ful and liberal contributors, and honored
the board meetings and anniversaries with
his presence. The workmen die, but the
work goes on; and we are happily sur
rounded by many excellent mid capable
men, already Interested in the Bible cause,
from whom we may select his successor.
The older contributors ate delightfully
cordial, and wish me a hearty God-speed.
Many of our most willing contributors are
found In the machine shops in Carbondale
and Scranton. Dollar subscriptions, cheer
fully given by hands soiled by honest la
bor, are highly acceptable. Between the
subscribers In Carbondale and thoie In
