THANKSGIVING DAY IN THE CHURCHES All Congregations Mel and Gave Thanks in Holy Places. WERC MANY UNION SERVICES In Each Section of the t'lty There Were Uiidviiominatiouiil tit lie r iUKsOtlicr Congregations Wor shipped Independently Special Music and Serin 01m Tinged With I'HtriutiMifSomc of the Sermons That Were Delivered. Considered In Its true Import, Thanksgiving lJuy in Serunton yester day was observed as It should be ob served. The day invited a public cele bration of divine Kooilncss 11ml that 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 trived thai not a soul should lie kept from the illumine, service of Thnnks Kivhiff. This seemed to apply to Scran ton. Wherever church service was held mid each coiiKieKation worshipped somewhere the attendance wus large to overllowllltf. There were union services In the Penn Avenue Haptlst chrch. In the central city, in the Plymouth CiitiKivKaliunal church 011 the West Side, in the lireen Hidne Presbyterian church mill In the Providence Presbyterian church. REV. DR. DIXON PREACHED.

DIXON, D. D., Delivered I'nlon TliHiiksKlvlnw Sermon In Penn Avenue Church. It was termed a 'National ThankP pivlii! Service." und the patriotic thought wuu uppermost in all that transpired. The iirosnimme Included the reading by Dr. Ui Win of the president's Thanks giving proclamation, special responsive readings, prayers by Dr. !illln and Mr. Huaipstone, and an excellent array id' music, under the direction of Charles T. Wliitteinore and J. Alfred Penning ton, the music directors of the Penn Avenue und Kim Park churches, re hl'cctlvcly. Dr. Dixon's sermon topic was "The Wider Thanksgiving." His text was "Thanksgiving be unto our God for ever and ever," Jtevelatious, vii, 12, He sad: The story goes that on Thanksgiving morning, the bells In Kastpiut. Me., will begin to ring, slowly, iiiensm villy. lieu in,, minis further west will tuke It up one after another, 111 alter bull then they will begin along shore, the solum stials up over Ihe White mountains, down through the valley of the .Mohawk it swells, and so uIoiik the lakes and down the Mississippi, across the plums until ti e fui-.dn western slopes give back an an swering melody, and the chime from ten thousand steeples cans a naiion 10 prayi r and ilia nksglviiig such an oratorio of praise 11s Handel and Heethoven never dreamed of. 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." (lathered In this world cathedral we take 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. fore the Puritan, but where Hre thev now? Where Is Spanish America? Where are the French Americans? The French were settled In a territory that Is now comprised In eluht of our states.

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.

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." D. 1.. Jones, Thomas Watklus, Thom as Patten, H. J. Davis, William J. Evans and O. M. Custard.
