AKMEXIA THE CHIEP TOPIC
It Is Abhorrent but Invites tho Attention
of Thinking Christian I'coplc-Bricf
Notes Tell tho I.csscr Church Tid-incs-Toniorroiv's
Services)
All over the country the thousands
of Protestant churches have observed
the lust seven days as a week of prayer.
The National council, a body which
represents the different American de
nominations. Issued a request that the
first week In every new year should
be consecrated by prayer. The churches
responded and a union prayer service
has been in progress for the past week.
( )n the West Side nenrly every church
held prayer services. At the Taber
nacle Congregational church, on South
Hyde Purk avenue, different members
of the chuvh led ut the several meet
ings. Addresses were also made. Th
Bund of Hope assisted at the singing
exercises. At the Plymouth Congrega
tional church the pastor, Uev. T. Hell,
led the meetings.' Kvery nfternoon
P.lhle readings were given, (ircat suc
cess was met with, the young people of
the church attending the meetings In
large numbers. Services were also heid
In the Simpson Methodist Kpiscopal.
Hampton Street Methodist hlplscopal
and other West Side churches.
The series of union prayer meetings
In the central city closes this afternoon
In the Young Men's Christian associa
tion building. They have been held in
the Pen n avenue linntlst. First Pres
byterian, druce Reformed F.piscopn!
and Kim Park church' s, and. although
the cold and snow caused comparatively
small attendances.lhcy have been of pe
culiar Interest. At each meeting some
subject of religious Import was an
nounced for discussion and prayer.
The tonics in each case related to the
present.
The Armenian Atrocities.
The Armenian atrocities as a auhjert
of church discussion shows no sign of
abatement. It would be unfair to say
of It that the congregations do not lire
because the subject Is interesting;
butchery ut llrst thought Is abhorrent,
but It attracts the people in this case
because of Its (i pulling revelation of re
ligious despotism und arouses both
sympathy and indignut'ou.
In this connection tomorrow night's
service in the First' Presbyterian
church will probably attract an audl
enco that will iill the edifice to the
oloors. The announcement that ex
(iovernor James A. Beavers, now of tna
Superior court, may be one of tin
speakers, has created an udded Interest,
but the nddres-scs of the 'lattor. Dr.
McLeod, Judge Hand, A. W. Dickson
and Colonel 11, M. Holes should furntsh
material for valuable thought and real
ization of the Turkirh situation.
Following Is a copy of a message
telegraphed from this city Monday:
Hon. Al. S. Quay, Washington, D. C.
At the ministers' meeting In this city
today It was unanimously resolved to win
you asking tha you pretest as our senator
in t he name of "o.uoo.ihmi against the inhu
man barbarities perpetrated upon Ar
menian Christians, und to urge that meas
ures be taken by our government to stop
these horrid atrocities.
James McLeod, D. D.,
W. 11. Pearce. I. D.,
L. C. Floyd. D. D.,
11. M. Boies,
Committee.
The message was the result of a
meeting of the Pastors' union in the
Young Men's Christian association
building which adopted a resolution
recommending that the clergy preach
upon the subject tomorrow evening, and
that collect ions be forwarded through
the proper channels for the relief of
these sufferer''. A committee consist
ing of Bevs. Drs. Pearce, McLeod nnd
Floyd was appointed to confer with our
representatives In Washington with a
view of waking up public opinion In
regard to the atrocities. Then was
sent the foregoing telegram. Dr Pearce
presided at the meeting.
Meeting of tho Archdcasonry.
A meeting of tho archdeaconry of the
Kpiscopal churches of this city and
vicinity will be held In St. Luke's
chinch, this city, on Jan. 20, HI anil 22.
The young men of the four Kpiscopal
churches of the city, ns members of the
Brotherhood of St. Andrew, will meet
next Tuesday in St. Luke's church to
arrange the preliminaries of their part
In the archdeaconry meeting. The
Brotherhood 'of St. Andrew runs In the
same channel of work as the Christian
Knrteavor societies of other churches.
It is an organization solely for young
men. and bus for Its particular purpose
the rrdenmtinn of young men. There
ore three chapters in this city and one
in Dunmore, as follows: St. Luke's,
Ht. David's. Church of the Good Shep
herd and St. Mark's church, Dunmore.
l ivery -chanter Is subordinate to the
rector of the parish.
ltev. James Fielding will preach to
moi row. both morning and evening, nt
the Jackson Street Baptist church. The
church will not Immediately call a pas
tor, but an effort will be made to liqui
date. In part at least, the ponderous
church debt. It Is thought this can be
better done when them Is no minister's
salary to pny. The church Is In
straightened circumstances, but to an
outsider the struggle of the few faithful
members of the church, beset ns they
are with such adversities. Is nothing
short of Christian heroism. At one
time, a few months ago, the shadow of
the sheriff's hammer, could be seen
fulling upon the church, but the mem
bers went down deep Into their purses
and the creditors were satisfied for a
time at least. Now the church has un
dertaken to raise $2.U(I0 by the tirst of
May. Kntei'taininents, etc., will be. held
for this purpose.
The Minister's Salary.
Church members generally give little
thought to the fact that their pastor
needs money. One Scrantnn pastor has
not hesitated to. remind his flock that
bis salary was overdue. ' lie published
the following paragraph in a recent
issue of his church magazine: "Most of
our people are aware that the rector's
salary, even when paid promntly. Is
meagre enough to live upon respectably,
but when that little Ut not forthcoming
for months after It Is due, those who
profess to be Christians nnd nre under
obligations to uphold the hands of
their minister, by their Indifference and
negligence virtually only help to add
to his cares and anxieties. " Whether
such a spirit Is Christian we shall leave
to the consideration nf those vho pro
fess allegiance to this church. Let
their conscience define their duties, nnd
if obedience Is rendered to Its dictates,
we feel confident that this perplexing
problem will be solved In a very short
time."
The Penn Avenue Buptlst church has
called Rev. 'Charles T. Morgan, of 'Phil
adelphia. Mr. Morgan was the popular
choice of a church meeting -several
-weeks ago but fell a few votes short of
the number necessary to a choice; At
Wednesday night's meeting he was the
only candidate considered and received
a. unanimous call. He is the pastor of
the Spring Garden Street Raptlst church
In Philadelphia, ami would not consent
to become a candidate for the Scrantnn
pastorate until shown that this field
offers opportunity for a greater work.
He Is a bachelor'. 44 years of age. His
sister has always managed his house

Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road
and the Colorado Midland, over which
there was some contest, have finally
been renewed without material change.
Henry Vlllard Is in Wall street nearly
every day looking after personal In
terests. He is watching the Northern
Pacllic situation closely, but says little
about it, on tbe ground that there is
nothing much to be done until the re
ceiverships are unified. As to the gen
eral situation, he is particularly em
phatic In utterances as to the danger
of the continued agitation for free sil
ver coinaso nnd the continued failure
of congress to permit the cancellation
of the greenbacks. Our currency situa
tion, he considers extremely threaten
ing to the business interests of the
country and predicts continued depres
sion until there is a satisfactory ad
justment of the currency to tile views
of sound financiers. He says the ac
tion of President Cleveland and con
gress has unsettled confidence In Eu
rope to such an extent that there will
be a Bteady return of securl'.ies trom
there for months to come. He tnlnks
the country will not fully recover from
the shock It haB recently had for a long
time,

TIIE LITTLE HUMORIST.
Marshall P. Wilder Amuses a Small
Audience at the Y. M. C A.
Marshall P. Wilder, the famous little
humorist of New York city, whose
reputation is high throughout the coun
try, was the attraction at Young Men's
Christian association halj last night,
where he was assisted by Frank 1'.
Ranta. of New York, pianist, and tiTe
Lyric Male quartette of this city. The
audience was not in numbers a very
great compliment for one so entertain
ing as Wilder, for Instead of a full
house, possibly not over " 150 persons
were present.
The programme consisted of eight
numbers, which Included three mono
logues by Wilder, four vocal selections
and a piano solo by Mr. Ranta. who is
the humorist's personal friend. What
Wilder talked about or to describe how
he talked Is quite Impossible. He lik
ened th trip from New York over the
Lackawanna road to a trip on an ocean
liner, and on this one topic kept the au
dience convulsed for several minute.
The new woman, the opera, the
weather, politics, Venezuela and nu
merous other subjects came to hrm as
naturally as steel to a magnet, and out
of each he turned from humor to
pathos and from pathos to wit with
the versatility for. which he Ib famous.
The only regret connected with the
entertainment was thnt a large num
ber missed one of the best of the season.
