SERMON BY REV. W. H. PEARCE
It Was Replete wit Baastlfal Tkoaghts.
I'nloa Service Held at Greta Ridge,
riaariae Meeting ee tha West Side.
Ia Other Charekes of tks City.
The great seating capacity of Elm
Park church was taxed to Its utmost
yesterday - morning at , the union
Thanksgiving Day service- of .the cen
tral city churches. The congregations
of the several churches were well rep
resented, but the audience who listened
to -the very practical, sensible and ben
eficial sermon of Rev. Dr. W. H. Pearce,
the pastor, included a large number of
strangers commercial travelers who
were many hundreds of miles distant
from- their homes and persons visiting
Scranton friends or relatives.- Delight
ful special music was rendered by the
regular church choir and soloists.
Dr. Pearce preached from Islah Iv, 3,
"Joy and gladness shall be found there
in, thanksgiving and the voice of melo
dy." He said, in part:
t a. MA h.it.u. that Thankfiaivinsr ser
mons should be pitched upon a walling,
minor key, or that they should be devot
ed to a canvas of the sins of the people
and to a discussion of the dangers of the
republic from drunkenness. Sabbath dese
cration, money corporations and the cor
ruption of political parties. These are
very appropriate themes for almost any
other day, or for a day of humiliation,
tasting anu prayr, uui ii emun w
ihav am a. Inamirouriafo and out of place
on a day of thanksgiving as a dirge would

is set apart from its fellows. If I under
stand the nature of It, for the purpose of
Inoklnn.on the btittht side of life: for the
purpose of kindling our emotions into a
glow of rapture, adorning the soul with
the beauty of gladness and piling up every
hour with hallelujahs of great Joy. ..
Tho R.asoos Are Many, i
The reasons calling us to engage In these
exercises of thanksgiving are -so .many,
varied and lofty as to make it very dim-
cult to know where to begin or
where to leave off. The things that God
has done far us are so many- that they
must needs crowd upon each other, until
they go down behind the horizon of mem
ory like full hemispheres of stars that
move In multitudes and sink, not sepnrate
or distinguishable, but multitudinous.
eacn. casting ugm lnio me oiner, anu
crowding each other by their common
brightness.
On such a day as this, as we select a few
from the great multitude, we ought not to
forget the dwelling In which God has en
palaced us, until Ho has made ready for
us the homo of many mansions. Despite
what some people say, this world Is not
an outlying waste, forsaken of God and
unblest; It Is one of the most beautiful
provinces of the divine kingdom; and
whether azure vestures it, or purple folds
It, or gold mantles it, or white plaid of
snow covers It, it Is always beautiful and
resplendent with glories. And, then, on
such a day as this, we certnlnly ought not
to forget how ood Has provisioned 11 now
he has tilled the larder. Spring, the per
iod of seedtime, lavished rain and nun
shine; summer, the time of growth, was
warm and eonerous: autumn, the season
of ripening fruit and golden grain, and
winter, tne Sleeping time ior vernure an
these are so liberal and open-handed that
never In the memory of the oldest, with
the exception of three or four Instances,
has there been such an accumulated
wealth of nature's products as are now
overcrowding the bins and barns and
storehouses from the Atlantic' to the Pa
cific. Eden's curse seems to have been
removed from the earth; there Is super
abundance everywhere.
Things We Ought to Remember.
On such a day as this we ought also
to remember how God has companioned
it: filled it with the sweetness and strength
of domestic affection and with all the
joyful and helpful fellowships of our
social life. Our home has been something
more to us than a house in which to live
and a place In which to be lodged and
sheltered and fed. It has been a sanctu
ary of holy affections! It has seemed -Just
outside of heaven, sunned with Its light,
made tuneful with Its music! And all the
days of the. year within its sacred enclo
sure, have been like rounds In a ladder on
which the angels of God has descended
and ascended, with revealmenta of peace
and loving ministries; mat, line invisinie
gifts that never spend themselves, have
made the home, with all of Its changes,
like unto paradise restored.
And then the church has been something
more to us than an architectural pile of
brick or atone or lumber, and ita altar
rails and chancels have been something
more than carved and embellished shrines.
In the midst of Its sermons and prayers
and sacraments and songs and fellow
ships we have found pardon for our sins,
healing for our wounds, peace for our un
rest, strength for our weakness, hope for
our despair, and now and then all heaven
has been opened to our tear-bllnded eyes
and all of Its raptures poured Into our
weary, aching hearts.
Our social life has also been something
to us. We have enjoyed it as we do
bright skies or the south wind, and it has
been the rythm and poetry of many a day,
and songs in the night of our loneliness.
Never Before Snch Tranquility.
On such a day as this we should not
forget the peace with which God has Ailed
the home In which he has enpalaced us
as with golden airs. Never since this
land was redeemed from -the wilderness
has there been such tranquility within
our borders. All along the rocky coasts
of Maine, through the forest region of
New England, through the fertile middle
states, on the golden slopes of the Pacific,
and In the warm, glowing South, Bethle
hem's song Is being sun today in sweeter
melody than ever before; and there Is no
fairer scene that comes upon my vision
than this great nation gathered under one
flag, whose white means purity, whose red
means sacrifice, whose blue means fidelity,
whose stars mean the smile of God. And
from this great congregation, type, figure
and symbol of that greater congregation.
Into which every tribe and nation and
tongue shall enter at last, and hear rising,
as with the voice of many waters, the
grand choral chant: "My peace I give
unto you, and God, even our God, shall
bless the."
Therefore, for life, with all of Its lovs
and sorrows: for native land, with all of
its civil and social enjoyments;for the
abundant harvest, with Its golden treas
ures, and for home, nome sweet home,
with Its banauet of love and kindred
spirits that seems to make It a bit of
paradise on earth for all these let us
thank God this day with songs and high
anthems and rejoice with exceeding joy.
Evening Servloea at Etna Park.
A congregation that taxed the caps

Park auditorium attended the very in

of the pulpit was banked with a bed of

The exercises consisted of music, ad

tive Methodist and United Evangelical
churches. ..
The responsive reading or tne rsaims
was led by Rev. O. L. Malce, of the
United Evangelical church. Prayer
wu offered bv Rev. N. P. StahL of tho
Green Ridge Presbyterian church, and
the scripture was read by Rev. w. J.
Ford, .of the Green Ridge. Baptist
church.
Rev. Mr. Prosaer. of the Primitive
Methodist church, preached the ser
mon from Genesis L 1. "In the be
ginning God created the Heaven and
the earth." His thought was that
thanks-living is the best kind of
thanksgiving. By so doing God Is
quite properly placed first.
In Asbury church In the evening an
entertainment was given under the
auspices of the Epworth league. It
waa a concert by singers from the
choirs of the Asbury Methodist and
Washburn Street Presbyterian
church, and by the Asbury quartette,
and waa the last of a aeries of four
entertainments.
Sanriso Services oa Waal Side.
Sunrise services were conducted on
the Weat Side at the Jackson Street
Baptist church. At 7 o'clock the lecture
room of the handsome edifice was
crowded with people. Professor James
Hughes presided. The services consist
ed of prayer, addresses, and congre
gational singing. The meeting was
characterised by an abundance of spir
itual feeling, more than fifty persons
making short talks on the day. It
was the most successful affair of the
kind ever conducted on the West Side.
At 10.30 o'clock the union service
of West Side English churches was
begun at the Washburn Street Presby
terian church. Rev. J. P. Moffat, the
new pastor of the church, presided.
The reverend gentleman gave a short
introductory address of welcome. Rev.
L. C. Floyd offered the general prayer
in a heartfelt and Impressive way.
The Thanksgiving sermon was preach
ed by Rev. Thomas Bell, of the Ply
mouth Congregational church. Mr. Bell
chose for his subject "The Reflex Influ
ences of Thanksgiving on Spir
tual Life." The theme was hand
ed in a scholarly manner, .the
speaker dwelling upon the 1m
presslveness of the great day. The
sermon was a grand effort and was
very Interesting to the large audience
present. During the service there was
congregational singing and the church
choir sang an anthem. Edwin Bowen
sang a tenor solo appropriate to the
occasion. A collection waa taken up
at the conclusion of the service for
the benefit of the Home of the Friend
less. A large sum was realized.
Services appropriate to the dav were
held last evening at St. Marks' Luther
an church. Rev. A. L. Ramer. rector
of the church, conducted the services,
and delivered a sermon on Thanksgiv
ing. At 10.30 o'clock St. David's Epis
copal church was the scene of a large
gathering, assembled to honor the na
tional holiday with appropriate reli
gious services. Rector M. H. Mill
preached an able sermon. The choir
sang several anthems.
In the Other Churches.
Thanksgiving services were held In
the morning In Grace Reformed Epis
copal church, where the pastor. Rev.
G. L. Aldrlch, preached an admirable
sermon from II Chronicles, v, 13 and 14,
It came even to pass as the trumpet-
ters and singers were as one to make
one sound to be heard in praising and
thanking the Lord; and when they
lifted up their voice with the trum
pets and cymbals and Intruments of
music and praised the Lord, saying,
for He is good; for His mercy endureth
forever; that then the house was filled
with a cloud, even the house of the
Lord. So that the priests could not
stand to minister by reason of the
cloud; for the glory of the Lord had
filled the house."
Mr. Aldrtoh's sermon contained the
thought that praising God for his mer
cies and things that are good brings
out the beauty of His benefits.
The offering of $25 was given to the
Florence Mission.
In St. Luke's Episcopal church, on
Wyoming avenue. Holy Communion
was administered at 7.30 o'clock, which
Included the prescribed Thanksgiving
Day worship of the church and a ser
mon by the pastor. Rev. Rogers Israel.
Mr. israei preached from Deuteron
omy xxxlll, 27, "The eternal God Is
the refuge, and underneath are the
everlasting arms." The offering was
devoted to the St. Luke's Episcopal
hospital In Bethlehem.
In all of the Catholic churches nf th
city a number of masses were read and
special prayer of thanksgiving of
fered up.

GREAT FA0LY GATHERING
Held at tke Residence of U P. Athertoa
oa North Main Avenae.
POUR GENERATIONS PRESENT
One of tho First, Six of tho Second,
Tweatythree of tho Third aad Five
of the Fosrth-All Enjoyed a
Fin Thanksgiving Dinner.
A novel and Interesting family re
union was that which gathered yester
day at the home of H. F. Atherton, gen
eral paymaster of the Delaware and
Hudson railroad, 2104 North Main ave
nue.. It was different from the usual
family reunion," in that all but eleven
of the fortv-six Dersons present were
direct descendants of -d, gray-headed
Jonathan Atherton, who was the cen
tral figure of the gathering and did not
look or act as old as hiselghty-slx years.
The eleven exceptions were six sons and
daughters-in-law of Jonathan and live
husbands and wives of his grandchil
dren. Jonathan Atherton Is one of the to
day rare examples of the hardy yoe
manry which made possible the quick
development of this section of the state
after the preceding generation of con
tinental fame had passed away. He
was born in Montrose and lived near
there on the Atherton homestead until
a few years ago he came to Scranton to
live with his son. H. F. Atherton, and
be In the midst of his other children and
progeny who drifted with commerce to
Scranton and its vicinity.
It Was a Lareo Family,
, To provide for the extensive Thanks
giving meal for so big a family it was
necessary to use three cooking ranges
and to utilize the services of servants
from several Atherton households, and
In the serving of the meal two of Hunt
ington's most efficient waiters were
pressed Into service. In the gathering
were:
Jonathan A. Atherton and his chil
dren H. F., J. L. and B. B. Atherton,
Mrs. T. H. Lewis, of Wllkes-Barre;
Mrs. David Sheerer, of Montrose, and
Mrs. Hampton Lake, of Btnghamton.

Four Generations Represented.
A Htnrular fact Is revenloil hv iu
above list none of Jonathan Atherton's
sons ana daughters are widowers or
widows and none of them am childless,
and the same comment is true nf the
grandchildren who have married. There
were four generations presented, one
of the first jrenerationS, six of the sec
ond; twenty-tnree of the third and five
of the fourth, each being in a direct line
of -scent In which aunts and uncles
are not considered.
