Thanksgiving lJuy in Serunton yester

was the order of things as fur 11s the
church-going element of the city was
concerned.
Great as the preparations were for
dinner, fts Harriet needier Stowe says
In "Uliltnwn," everything was so con

It was termed a 'National ThankP

The iirosnimme Included the reading
by Dr. Ui Win of the president's Thanks

Mr. Huaipstone, and an excellent array
id' music, under the direction of Charles

CAI.I.KD BV PKOCLAMATION.
We have been called hither by presiden
tial proclamation: our mercies have ipiiek
enid every slow step toward the gales of
Hod's house, that we might set our heads
to the ry thin of the bells. This is Thanks
giving moi-iiiug. Kuch soul is to become
a cathedral along whose niches and archi
traves there shall roll aiithelns of praise
H Te Ileum universal from whose towers
there shall be ceaseless chimes, blending
with the Doxology of the Uevclation,
"And all the angels stood round about the
throne, and fell before the throne on their
faces aid worshipped Hod, saying, Allien!
Blessing and glory and wisdom 11 ml
thanksgiving ami honor anil power and
might be unto our Uod forever and ever.
Ulllell."
Shall our Hps bo slbnt, and our heart"
dull wllh their load of care while Hod
has written on the universal en atlon
notes of divlnest praise, (iratitinle Is on.
of the tin- ails. To be ungrateful Is to
live outside the realm of poetry and music
sculpture, painting. To be ungrateful is
to make out of life a songless summer
Ingratitude takes the lustre from the brow
of all brightest shining achievement. 1
um not here- this morning to till your
mind with the lumber of arguments why
we should be gratef ul why, as nutlonal
beings we should offer praise unto Hod.
When this world was made and slid down
the ways into Ihe ocean of snaee, the
morning stars sang together and' the sonj
of Hod shouted lor joy. on dow n the cen
turies the hvmnw liter for the eariy
church takes up the strain, "Praise tin
Lord from the earth, ye dragons and all
deeps; lire and ha'l, snow and vapors,
stormy wind fulfilling his word; moun
tains and all hills, fruitful trees and all
kings of the earth und all people, princes,
and all judges of the earth, both young
men ami maidens, old men and children,
let them praise the name of the Lord, for
His name alone Is excellent, and His glory
Is above the earth and heaven." This,
then, is my warrent for urging that nature
Is vocal with praise this old brown earth,
real with whirlwind and plowed wllh
earthquakes and shuttered bv volcano
strife this earth, man's hattletleld and hij
grave, Is a place of praise.
Dr. Dixon then drew attention to the
harmony of everything that goes to
ward the making of humanity and
things material. It was humanity's
weakness, said an old philosopher, that
Its gratitude was the most apt to grw
old before any other thins, and it
should be our care to refute that be
lief. He called attention to the Pil
grim forefathers and the cause for
thankfulness born of their coming.
Fruitful harvests had been the coun
try's bb-sslng all the year. In buslmss.
In life. In religion and in all else. "We
have had a harvest of national hon
or," he said, "and the national con
science has had the barnacles scraped
off."
TUB JOY OP WOIIK.
Another strain In this carol of humanity
Is Ihe privilege and Joy of work. Work is
honorable and desirable. It is a blessing
and not a curse. The trouble with Adam
was that he didn't have work enouirh to
keep him oet of mischief. Adam might
have been in Helen yet anil nil the rest of
us have been there as well If he had
been compelled to raise his own fruit. The
fruit raised Itself. Some one has said:
Work Is Hospel on Its blunt end. A trop
ical climate and Satan go together
wickedness ami laziness are twin sisters.
Work and w or hip Is a part of the divine
programme.
believe New England triumphs In her
glorious and g lor i lied Influence over the
whole American domain because her peo
ple were compelled to delve among the
rocks and scratch a living out of the In.
hospitable soil. The men who settled In
the south were enervated by the climate,
were drawn Into habits of listlessness and
thus easily became a prey to sending for
people to come and do their work for
them. Humanity's carol may well burst
forth because of humanity's progrnss. The
Fpirlt of the New Testament is a spirit of
triumph. Optimism is a divine quality.
The world is growing belter, and w oiiht
to be glad over it ami give thanks to liod.
Your heart and mine responds therefor
to Ihe chorus of the redieineil and the
chorus of th angelic lion about the
throne "ThankSKlving be unto our Uod
forever and ever." '
It is a good thlrg for us to, halt amid
the stress and strain of this busy work-a-day
world and count up the favors of
heaven. We are far too busy with out
petitions and uot busy enough with our
praise. The adoration of the Psalmist
should be the everyday attitude of the
whole citation, "Mess the Lord. 1) my
soul, and forget not all His benefits."
From our hearts we might then say
with Teiinjson, "The good lio-1 seems to
have taxed Himself to see how much
happiness He could crowd Into one star."
lod notes the sparrows' fall He mites
also the snltit with which v.e receive the
tokens of His favor, our thankfulness
ought to transmute itself into deeds of
mercy ami hacritlce. In proportion as We
praise Hod, let us raise our fellow-men.
The deeper springs of life are loncli'd
when we move out into- the places of sor
row and want and carry with us healing
und blessing. Beyond all this the Master
will dually come to us with those sublime
words of approval. "I was hungiy and ye
gave me meat: 1 was thirsty, and ye gave
me drink." Our ministry for others will
triumph In the eternitlts of Hod when all
olhcr powers have melted away la mist.
Kaeh wold of sympathy Is marked III the
bonks of Hod. Kaeh willing footsteii In
caring for Ihe destitute and suffering is
registered by the angels. M iv we not also
say: The measure of our ministry to the
lowly and lost, the surging, suffering
masses of men und woim-ii about us. is
also tho measure, of our gratitude to Hod
for Ills mercies without number.
CAROL. OF 1IKAVKN.
And this leads me to speak of ihe carol
of heaven.
"Thanksgiving be unto our Hod forever
and ever." 1 have only borrowed for this
hour a snatch of 'heaven's hallelujah.
When the angel host had bowed before
the throne ascribing glory und honor,
and power, and might, und wisdom, und
thanksgiving unto our Hod forever and
ever, the face of one of the elders was
Hushed with a great glory us he saw a
host In w hite marching before the tin one
shouting their paeans of praise and Ills
wondering s:iiich Is "What are these
which are arrayed in white robes and
whence came they?" The answer swells
back like th; tides of ocean, "These are
1 hey which came out of great trihiiluli in
and washed their robes and made them
while in the blood of the Lamb, therefore
nre they before the throne, ami serve him
day -ami night In His temple. But I would
have you believe that praise over there
begins in service down here that triumph
ovir there begins in sacrlllee down here
our thanksgivings down here are only
Hie prelude to the never ending anthem of
the skies.
l.U us be glad and rejoice that strsilu
after strain is being added here on the
earth to the mighty choral that shall Mil
the heavens with song. Not long ago
Lord Salisbury. In his address as president
of the British Society for the Advan e
meiit of Science, said that If we call the
roll of the scientists, philosophers au
thors of our day, we shall find that as they
rise In the scale of genius they go up to
ward enthusiasm for the teachings of
Jesus Christ. The note of thanksgiving
that I would make dominate In all this
November air, is the victory of the cross.
The chariots of Uod are twenty thousand.
The watchmen on the hilltops cry, "All is
well."
Today oer vales are tilled with rejoic
ing, our hilltops echo the shout of glad
ness thankful for barns overflowing with
grains; thankful for the reign of law and
the tweet light of liberty thankful tor
homes the type of the heaven, toward
which we Journey; thankful for beautiful
America, grand as the ocean, serene as a
cloudless sky Idled with sunshine that
comes from the face of God; thankful,
above all for Jesus Christ, who redeems
man from sin and vice, and plants the un
fading flower of u great, sweet Iioh- in
the human breast and leads ihe way lo
the gates that are open and the endless
song uud Juliib-ss that await us.
When the Ancients saw an anemone In
the grass, they thought that Ceres or .Min
erva had mine that way.
As we tread this pathway of thanksgiv
ing we are more than walking whither
have gone the feet of the goddess of har
vi sts and corn, tho goddess of thought and
Invention, we arc treading the path the
saints have trod Abrauiali ami Isaac and
Jacob und David and John ami Paul have
gone this way; the multitude robed In
white 11 bout the throne have gone this
way.
"Like n mighty army
Mows the church of Hod."

on our lips the song that swells In the
temple nil made of hands, the everlasting
song, "Thanksgiving Lie Unto Our Uod
Forever und liver,"
REV. DR. M'LEOD'S SERMON.
Heard by n Large Congregation in
first Presbyterian Church.
In the First Presbyterian church Ucv.
Dr. Jnnies AlcLciiil. the pastnr.preached
to a large congregation. There was an
attractive music programme rendered
under the direction of KceVe Junes, the
chorister.
"The Church and the Nat inn" was
Dr. JlcLeod's topic, lie preached from
the text: "Ye are the salt of the earth"
"Ye ure the light of the
world," Matthew, v, i:s. 14. He suld:
What salt and light are to the material
world, that Christians are to the moral
und spiritual world. The Church of Christ
has not been altogether unmindful of Ihe
great trust committed unto her. Her salt
has been good aid her llijht has shone
from t'nie to time with great brightness.
It must be contliied, Indeed, that there
have beeen periods In the history of the
church, where the salt had almost lost
Its savor and where her light was so fee.
ble that it was only enough to make the
darkness visible.
Hut notwithstanding all her faults, the
church has been, and still is, the great
I urllii r of public morals and the great
promoter of public virtue and Christianity
will yet be the universal religion. This
nation owes much to the church of Christ.
It was rocked ill the church's t-radle, Tho
church gave to It nerve and vigor. She
taught It to walk In the path of purity aid
honor aid manliness, and it would be the
darkest day this nation ever saw If It
should forget its nursing mother und Its
early tl amine.
TIIKV ACTED WISELY.
Tho Pilgrim Put hers regarded church
."ml state as almost i'lenllcal. The Iti-vo-lmionary
fathers acted more windy when
the y declared that church and stale must
be kept separate. Thomas Payne de
clared that by this net the Revolutionary
falters intended 10 Ignore the Christian
religion. lint Daniel Webster is a better
authority than Payne, and he said. In his
Hunker Hill oration, that Ihe American
revolution would not have lived a single
day If its principles had been retarded as
In the least degree antagonistic to the
Christian religion.
In-bed, the words of Christ might be
applied, by way of uccoumiod.il Ion, to
this nation, for It has been regarded by
multitudes in all lands, as Ihe salt of the
earth and Ihe light of the woM. Cut
will our nation maintain this character?
Yes, If the church continues to be faithful
and In iis the salt and the light of which
she is the custodian. Vs, if the nation
cultivates that purity and follows that
liuht which the chun-h presses upon her
attention. But, no. If the church negla-ts
her duly and if the nation relaxes into
religions indifference.
The home mid Ihe church are both di
vine Institutions, but the home was or
gnnlziil long before the church as or
ganized, If religious training is to lie tx
cluded from o'.'r schools, it must be all
the more diligently observed in our
homes. The youth of this land oug'.it to
feel towurds Ihe home and the church
us Desibmotia ill 1 when he said to her
father, Bralmntlo, To you 1 am bound for
life and education. If the fathers nn-1
mothers of this nation would only train
up their children us the fathers ami moth
ers of the olden time. In Kngliin I.
trained up their children, Ihe qiiemion
of the religious training of an American
youth would lie settled. It was such home
training as the mother or John yumcy
Adams gave lo her boy that made the Pil
grims und P-.:rilans.
XV ELL TO ItE.MKMHEIt.
It Is well, on this day of national thanks
giving, lo remember what we owe as a
nation to Christianity. The Spaniards and
the French inn n ante to these shores be.

AMUSEMENTS.
Tonight at the Academy of Music
"Jim the Penman" will be produced
with several members of tho original
company in the cast. There Is probably
no play of modern times that has en
joyed Ihe popularity that Sir Charles
Young's dual life story has. From the
llrst It has had the honor and distinc
tion of being presented by a cast of art
ists, and Its revival this year will cer
tainly not bo an exception In this di
rect ion. The sale of seats Indicates
that a large uudietice will be present
tonight.
One of the most noted dramatic en
Ragements if the season will be the
production of "The Fatal Card" at the
Frotlilnghain this and tomorrow even
ings and at a matinee tomorrow for the
benefit of the West Side Wheelmen.
This play was the great success of the
season at Palmer's theater. New Yolk,
and is a drama of Intense hit- rest. The
ttceiiery Is elaborate and beautiful.
Act 1. showing the Interior of a Colo
rado milling camp saloon; Act 'I Hie
lawn at Marable's English home; Act
3 a suite of otllces In London; Act 4 the
drawing room of Marable's house and
the robbers' rendezvous in u deserted
cottage,
When It is nnnounced that a show
will present everything new in songs,
dances nnd specialties, one naturally
looks for the name of the author. The
name of Chillies E. Blatn y Is a guar
antee that everything will be new,
when it Is attached to show bills. Mr.
Blnnt-y will bring his "A Baggage
Chock" to the Academy of Music Sat
urday afternoon and evening. With
the idea of making this farce rnm-ily
the greatest success of the closing of
the last decade of the century. Altvady
he has earned the approval of the en
tire country in saying this Is the funni
est farce comedy of the age.
Miss Margaret Fuller, who appeared
here some two months ago In "Tile
Daughter of 1'aul I'otnaltie." has been
secured for a second visit, this time be
ing seen us "The Princess of Burdad"
In a very powerful romantic drama of
that name by Alexander Dumas, at the
Fiothingliani next Tuesday. Miss Ful
ler niiule so many friends upon her
former visit that the present one can
not but form a source of considerable
pleasure. The play and company sup
porting Miss Fuller come to Scranton

MINE OFFICIALS BLAMED.
Coroner's Jury Finds That Thonas P.
Williams' Death Was Partly Dut! lo
His Own and Their Carelessness.
Cot-oner I.oimstreet conducted nn In
queat Wednesday liisht In Ihe case of
Thomas It. Williams, of Hollister ave
nue, who died from being rousted In
the explosion of gas In Storr's shaft on
Tuesday. Nov. PI. Tne jury met at
Ben Davis' hotel In Dutch Hap, where
the testimony of the witnesses was
taken. The Jury found that Williams
was partly to blame, but that the mine
i-lliiials were KUilly of negligence.
First there was a map or rather n
tr.'n liHT of the mine produced and It
was explained ly Inspector Kilwnrd
lioderick to the jurv. The main point
that was considered wns what caused
the iras to uccumulate where It did,
and whether or not the lire boss was
negligent lu not visiting daily the place
where the iras exploded and mukilig
sure that it was safe.
The place where Williams set ulY the
gas was In a Kimgway driven at right
angles with anol her gangway. And it
was driven In about :i'o feet when a
"fault" was met and It was abandoned.
The mine law says: "All underground
entrances to anv place not In actual
course of working or extension shall be
properly fenced across the whole width
of such entrances, so as to prevent per
sons from Inadvertently enterlm: the
snme."
Foreman Thomas Carson said ho had
not been In the old gangway in two
weeks before the accident, but when
he was the ventilation was all light.
However, there was a danger sign
placed at tho entrance to the gang
way. William Simms, the fireboss, whose
duty It is to examine the section in
which the old gungway is located, said
he had not been in the place since the
Wednesday before, which was six days
before the accident. He visited the old
workings only mice a week. There wns
a board across the entrance to the
gangway on which was written "Keep
Out of Here. Danger!"
Simon Thomas, another flrohoss In
the same shaft through the gas accu
mulated became some of the night driv
ers left a dour open and the current
of air was disarranged, permitting this
old gangway to choke up with gas.
The other evidence related to the Hid
ing of Williams after thu gas went
off. He went into the old gangway af
ter 11 tie or a rail and walked into the
body of gas und set It off. The ver
dict of the jury was:
"We, the undersigned jurors, find
that the said Thomas 1'. Williams came
to his death from an explosion of gas
In Storrs' shaft. No. 1, on Nov. 10, and
we further liinl thut his death was due
In part to his ow n carelessness, and In
part to the negligence of the mine of
ilcials In not placing a gate at a cer
tain point to divert the air current into
the gangway in which the explosion
occurred. We also lind that the aban
doned gangway was not properly fenced
and marked according to mine rules."
