CHURCH DOINGS
AND RELIGIOUS TALK
Cbronlclia(s of Particular Interest to

HOW TO BEHAVE DURING SERVICE
Itcv. Dr. Diion Expresses Himself iu
a Way That Will Interest t ocrcgn
tious Other Than His Ownlall
Extended to Rev. D. Jono"Otlicr
Subjects of Church Gossip aud Be
licious Menu Note-Auiiouncc
menu of Tomorrow's Services.
Some very pertinent thoughts con
cerning tardiness at worship and char
acteristic of the writer appear In the
leaflet containing the announcement of
services and the church news of the
Penn Avenue llaptlst church. The ar
ticle is "About Our Worship" and was
written by the new pastor. Kev. Dr.
Joseph K. Dixon; it is as follows:
"In the house of the Lord everything
should be done decently and in order.
God wants the best. We are here to
give him the best. On a separate card
the church will lind the new order of
worship. Mark you, it is called "wor
ship." There are no preliminaries to
the sermon, the service should all lead
up to the sermon and the close should
crown and clinch the sermon. All
parts of the service should dove-tall,
so as to form a beautiful and effective
whole.
"Generally. Baptist churches have
been so afraid of a ritual, that they
have followed the ritunl of a rut. The
'prelude' by the organ means some
thing, should be chosen by the organ
ist to fit the rest of the service. The
people should be there to hear It. Ten
thirty, the hour of service, should murk
the time when all should be In their
pews not to visit but to worship. It
Is a beautiful sight to see people tile
into the sanctuary, take their places,
then bow their head on the pew In
front of them in a moment of silent
devotion. Let us be punctual then If
we were going anywhere else than the
Sanctuary we would be on time. To
straggle in after Ihe service has begun
never yet added to the effectiveness of
the worship.
"The 'organ pnstlude' means some
thing. The organist will tit this part
of tlie service lo all that has gone be
fore If the sermon has been upon 'The
Nation' the postltide will be one of tri
umph if It has been a tender appenl
to the unconverted, the organ will yield
Its softest, tenderest strains, the 'vox
angelica' or the 'vox humana' stop will
be pulled the post hide is the amen to
the service it is the last act of praise
not a boisterous burst to hurry peo
ple away, not a time for the adjust
ment of wraps, a signal to scurry
across the aisle und speak to somebody
so as to save a visit on Monday not a
time to go out but to worship. The
congregullon are requested therefore
to remain with bowed heads during the
dosing prayer and the response which
follows the prayer by the chair, dur
ing the benediction and the amen to
the benediction, rendered by the choir
when the pustor will take his seat,
and the congregation will remain with
him seuted until the organist has fin
ished his 'pnstlude' when we will all
rise together, which will conclude the
worship for that service."
Rev. D. Jones, who last Sunday re
signed from the pastorate of the First
Welsh Congregational church, has re
ceived a call from the Kleventh Street
Congregational church of New York
city. Mr. Jones received notice from
the New York church on Wednesday
of this week. It was a complete sur
prise. He had not been in communica
tion with any one in the church re
garding the pastorate nnd up to Wed
nesday he knew nothing whatever of
the churches' intention to extend a call,
"it was a providential coincidence,"
said Mr. Jones last evening. "While I
was formally resigning from the Scran
ton church the New York body inviting
me there." Mr. Jones lias the call un
der consideration. In regard to his
resignation Air. Jones refuses to give a
reason therefor. The New York
church's call had nothing whatever to
do with It. Mr. Jones will preach at
the First Congregational church until
the end of the year. It was stipulated
In the contract when Mr. Jones en
tered the pastorate that church or pas
tor should give three months' notice of
uny change.
T.ev. George K. Guild, of the Prnvl
dece Presbyerinn thurch, was on Thurs

dent of citizenship work.
J. P. .Manning, of Pittston, the slate
transportation agent of the Christian
Kndeavor societies was here Thursday
night and attended the rally In the
Penn avenue Buptist church.
The decision of Scranton Messenger
service olllclals not to permit Us mes
sengers to answer calls issuing from
houses of questionable character has
gone Into effect. The little uniformed
fellows have been obliged to traverse
the alleys at all hours of the day and
night and the effect of the evil associa
tions was too apparent to permit the
olllclals to refuse to remove the call
boxes from the houses when the re
quest to do so was made by persons In
terested in city charity work.
The Jackson Street Hantist church
has issued a call to Rev. Thomas De
Gruchy, of South Kingston, a suburb
of Wakefield, K. I. The call is unani
mous. Mr. DoGruohy preached in
the church during two Sundays early
last month. He is a middle-aged man
and has a family. The church has been
pastorless for nearly two years, ever
since the turbulent circumstances at
tending the departure of Rev. Dr. D. C.
Hughes, who left to become editor of a
religious journal in New York city.
Over a month ago a call Issued by the
congregation to Rev. Dr. J. W. Wil
liams, of Swansea, South Wales, was
declined. It Is believed Dr. DeGruchy
Will accept.
Several of the West Side churches
will hold union services tomorrow even
ing in the Washburn Street Presby
terian church. The meeting Is In line
with a resolution adopted at the last
meeting of the City Pastor's union the
purport of which was that at least one
service next Sunday be devoted to the
Interests of the coining Christian En
deavor convention. The service will
begin at 7.30 o'clock. The Sumner Ave
nue Presbyterian, the Plymouth Con
gregational and Washburn Street
resbyterlan churches will sacrifice
their usual Sunday evening meeting
and will attend the union meeting. The
services at the other churches end at
such a time that people can attend the
meeting. The West Side choir will
sing.
The revival services held In Asbury
church during the past week have been
largely attended and of great Interest.
A number have sought salvation and
many have been greatly helped In their
religious life. Mrs. Davis sings and
speaks at each service, and her songs
have been a blessing, to many. During
this series of meetings a singing book
of favorite songs Is being- used. This
hook ia complied by Mrs. Davis and
Rev. Mr. Hoffman and many of the
songs are written by Mrs. Davis. To
morrow, at the morning service. Mrs.
Davis will give her experience, telling
how, after a period of heart wandering
and skeptical darkness, she was led
into the light and called into evan
gelistic work, in which she has led
thousands to Christ. This morning
service begins at 10 o'clock. In the af
ternoon at 3.4;. she will conduct a ser
vice for men only. In the evening she
will again speak. These Sunday ser
vices sive promise of being unusually
interesting and profitable. Special
BerviceH will be held during the even
ings of the coming week. All are
welcome.
The Xorth Knd churches having Kn
deavor societies will hold a union ser
vice tomorrow evening In the Provi
dent Presbyterian church. The North
Knd Kndeavor choir of one hundred
and flftv voices will render two of Its
convention anthems. Revs. Kinter and
Watkinst will make appropriate ad
dresses. The service is not for Kn
deavorers only but the public at large.
It will begin at 7.:!0 o'clock.
In West Side religious circles this
week there were two Interesting move
ments. On Sunday night Rev. D. Jones
tendered his resignation from the pas
torate of the First Welsh Congrega
tional ciiureh and on Monday night
Rev. Thomas De Gruchy. of Wake
field, Li. I., was called to the Jackson
Street liaptist church. The call of Mr.
De tlrufhy was extended at a meeting
of the church. He has preached to the
Jackson street congregation several
times during the past three months
and the call Is a general expression of
the united church.

WHILE YOU SLEEP.
Some Good Heusons Why You Should
Not Lie on Your Illicit.
The health und the lives of hundreds
of thousands of people In this laud are
dully Injured and destroyed by the
position in which they are permitted
to sleep, says the New York Journal.
This dangerous position is that of
lying on the buck. It will be found
that a majority of babies either take
It voluntarily or ure placed In it when
put to bed. The great mistake niude
is in putting them on a bed which en
ables them to take this position iustcud
of the natural and healthy way of ly
ing on the side.
The injuries arising from lying on
the back ure of several kinds. One is
the hindrance of breathing by the
pressure of the palate ugainsl the back
of the throat. The other Is the collec
tion of mucus and other unw holesome
substances in the throat. From these
two Injurious conditions there result
many diseases of the throat and res
piratory organs, as well as a general
weakening of them.
The remedy is a very simple one.
It is to put the child to sleep In a
ifairly hard bed. Then the position
on the back becomes practically Im
possible, und it turns naturally on its
side, which Is the proper attitude for
sleep.
A French physician, Dr. Madeuf, has
recently made some interesting in
vestigations on this suliject. He em
phasies his conclusions by some very
striking pictures showing the evil re
sults of sleeping on the back, from un
anatomical point of view.
When the head Is In an upright po
sition there is a considerable space be
tween the palate, or uvula, und the
back of the throat. It Is through this
space that the air must pass on Its
way from the nose to the wlndpine.
Put a child to sleep on Its back, and
the palate tends by its own weight to
fall toward the buck of the throat. It
may go so far as to make breathing im
possible. Then the child Is forced to
open its mouth and breathe through
it, which, as every one should know,
is unwholesome und unnatural.
When the child lies on Its side the
palate has no tendency to fall back
ward, and remains in nearly the same
position us when the head is upright.
The position on the back also lends to
Increase the effects of Injurious secre
l loirs. If, during sleep, the nose secrets
mucus it Is permitted to flow into the
throat: whereas, if the position on the
side had been tnken, the mucus would
have remained in the nose.
A person who has a severe cold In the
head finds his lips red, swollen and
cracked on account of the passage of
mucus from the nose. In the same
way, but to a higher degree, does this
injurious secretion affect the delicate
skin of the throat when it is allowed to
enter there.
Affections of the ear, the internal pas
sage of which opens in this region, are
also facilitated by the same cause.
Dr. Madeuf noticed that disense of the
nose, ears and throat, so common in
Europe, are very rare In Algeiin. The
reason of this he attributed to the fact
that the Arab mother put her child to
sleep on a mat, with one or two light
coverings. The hard couch was made
necessary by the climate, but it also
served a valuable purpose In obliging
the child to sleep on its side, and not
on its back. Thus It stood a better
chance of growing up without weak
ness or disease of Ihe throat, ears and
nose.
The American child is In this respect
less well off than the half-civilized
Arab. It Is usually put to bed on a pil
low of down or feathers. Then, more
often than not, it lies on Its back, turns
up its little face, and Is In a fair way
to develop the terrible diseases men
tioned. In this country grnwn-up persons
have happily discardded the unwhole
some feather bed to a greater extent
than In Europe; but when the seeds of
disease a"e laid In Infancy they de
velop in maturity.

From Tom Reed's Last Speech.
When gold and silver were driven
out of this country ut the beginning of
the war we had money. We had lo
have It. It is always sure to come
wherever there is business, and you
abolish every dollar of gold and silver
on the face of the earth, and the world
will have money on some terms, be
cause it is absolutely essentlul to the
progress and the life of the world.
And uter we have had a big tumble
and a general stale of confusion we
shall have silver, but Is your stuff any

If measured In dollars? Suppose It wus
the custom 'in this country lo measure

A Fine Programme Rendered at -Mr
Pennington's Itrcitnl Prof. Schil
ling Installed as .Musical Director
of Scranton LiedcrknnzRoscn
thai' Apicarancc--Othcr Notes.
Miss Elsie A. C. Van Dervoort, the
solo contralto of the Elm Park Quar
tette, though but young iu years, has
already made a decided Impression in
musical circles. During the past year
she has been a member of the above
iunrette, and the music committee
have engaged her for the year com
mencing in May, "!iii, ending May '!I7.
Her singingnt concerts und social gath
erings in addition to her church work
has made her well and favorably known
to the Scranton public. Allss Van Der
voort is indebted to her mother for
her primary instruction. Madam Van
Dervoort was a pupil of Prof. John
P. Marsh, of Albany, who was in turn
the favorite American pupil of Signor
Massini. Madam Van Dervoort was and
is a grand singer and is also a most
successful vocal and Instrumental in
structor. As a child though never
pushed forward. Miss Van Der Voort
was regarded as a phenomenon of
whom, great things were expected.
When she was but sixteen years of age
she secured a free scholarship at the
National Conservatory of Alusio in
Seventeenth street. New York city.
Among several hundred competitors
she was the only lady who succeeded
in satisfying the committee. Signor
S'ltilo " hi iwr voca Instructor while
there. Shortly after this, she sang for a
ar m me unman t ainoiic euurch ot
the Sacred Heart in Mount Vernon, un
der the direction of .Maurice J. Sulli
van, who was a pupil of Madame
Lucia Cunipunnl. The following year
she was soloist in St. Francis Xavler's
Roman Catholic church. New York
church. Sixteenth street, New York
illy. The next year In the Twelfth
Street Reformed church In I'rooklyii.
During this time she wus doing gos
pel singing for the Metropolitan For
ward movement under the leadership
of Charles li. Villain n, continuing in
this work nearly two yeurs. During
Hie major purl ion of this time she was
an earnest student under (leorge Sweet,
whose studio is ut 4S7 Fifth avenue,
New York city. It Is frankly conceded
by those well Informed In musical
matters that I leorge Sweet is beyond
iiii'Mtiou the finest vocal instructor and
voice builder in this country. This con
scientious master of n mHile profession
has iinhesiluiingly commended Miss.
Van Dervoort us one of his mom
gifted und painstaking pupils. It may
be added parenthetically that she does
full justice to the commendation. She
cunie to Scriinton a Utile over u year
ago a young lady and a perfect slrun
ger. liy meritorious work she has at
tained n most distinguished position.
She has accepted a few vocal pupils.
As an outcome to this und in respon.se
lo additional applications this gifted
singer mid teacher Nil open a studio
at Pitt Wyoming avenue, Oct. I, ls:u;.

Rosenthal Is now at Abazzio, near
Trieste, where he Is milking the final
preparations for his coming American
tour In a delightful cottage that faces
the Adriatic. Although the engagement
of the great pianist was originally for
llfty concerts, the demand for his ser
vices has been such that his manager
Air. Henry Wolfsohn. has been obliged
to extend the contract to exactly double
that number of concerts. One of the
features of Rosenthal's tour will be a
series of historical recitals, which he
will give in the larger cities. Mr. Wolf
sohn has received a flattering offer for
a tour of the Pacific Coast, and it is
likely that Rosenthal will be heard
there late In March and April. He will
sail for this country on October 23rd
from Cherbourg on the Augusta Vic
toria. !! II il
Camille Seygard, the young Pelginn
soprano, will be the soloist of the first
New York Symphony Society Concert,
November Oth und 7th. She will very
likely sing with the Abbey nnd (Iran
forces at the Metropolitan Opera House
later in the season.

The Scranton Liederkranz held n
pleasant session at. their rehearsal
rooms on Wednesday evening last w hen
their new musical director. Prof. W. P.
Schilling was formally installed. The
Llederkrnius which was founded about
twenty-seven years ago is one of the
most flourishing of Scrantnn's musical
societies. I'nlike many similar organi
zations the German societies usually
admit any unobjectionable citizens,
whether they ure siiigers or not. The
vocalists of the Liederkranz are called
active members and the silent are
culled passive members, and Ihe Scran
ton organization Includes some of the
best citizens of the'valley on either
the active or passive list. The mem
bers turned out in full force on Wed
nesday night to welcome their new con
ductor and the exercises were Inter
esting throughout. Alter Ihe meeting
had been called to order President
Leiitner made a t Intel v address In
which he asked all members to give the
new director their liearlv support by
prompt attendance to all rehearsals,
und welcomed the new olllelnl. Prof
Schilling responded brletly. thanking
the society for the high honor con
ferred upon him, and expressing his
Intention of uroving worthy of the
trust. The choir then sang a few selec
tions, ami refreshments were served,
nlier which the session was adjourned.
That the position obtained by Prof.
Schilling is one of honor, may be deter
mined by the fact that there were thir
teen upolications for the place, coining
from Scnuilon. Willves-I'.nrre, New
