Memorial Sermons Delivered by Revs.
J. K. Dixon, D. D., and J. D. Sweet.
WERE LISTENED TO BY VETERANS
The Services lu tho Point Avenue
Church Wero Attended by Colonel
Monies I'ost tinil tho Veterans'
Union--Ilzrn S. (irlllln Post, Sons
of Veterans nml Woman's Ucllcf
Corps Wero in Attendance nt the
Simpson M. V Church.
Special memorial services wero
pteiclied In two city chinches) last
nlirht. In tho Pi-iin. Avenue Baptist
church Rev. Joseph K. Dixon poltf to
a latge number ot the moinbeis of Col
onel Monies post, Grand Army of tho
Republic, and the Union Veterans'
union and the ladles auxiliaries of these
organizations.
In the blmpson Methodist Episcopal
church of hc West Side tho pastor,
Rev J. H. Sweet delivered a sermon to
tho E7ra 8. Grlirin post, No 129, Grand
At my of the Republic, Sons of Veter
ans and Woman's Relief corrts, No. 50.
The sermon of Dr. Dixon in the l'enn
Avenue chuich was full of spirit and
patriotism. Ills father was a soldier
In thi Chll war and ho the son of a
Vetctan was pioud to preach to such a
gatlifrlnK as that of last evening.
The seivlco throughout was one of
unusual ceremony, and Interest. Pro
fessor Haydn Evans played a military
pi elude by Schubert, followed by the
chant of a single sentence by the choir.
Rev. Dixon then ieclted a scripture
sentenee and the congregation Fang
' arret King of Nations." Dr. Dixon,
offered prajer.
The choir next sang "Columbia," a
beautiful chorus with chorus parts
sung by Mrs. Lizzie Hughes-Brund-age
and Philip It. Thomas. Dr. Dixon
read a passage of Scripture and tho
choir again rendered an anthem, "Sol
diers of Christ Arise."
PRELUDE TO SERMON.
Di. Dixon again prayed, the congte
gation following with tho "Our Fath
er," while Professor Evans played, the
offertory was taken up. A male quar
tette from the choir then sang "Cover
Them Over with Beautiful Flowers,"
followed by congregational singing of
"America."
The sermon was then begun. It was
not lengthy but full of fervor and de
cidedly Interesting. The text was:
"And this day shall be unto you for a
memorial." Exodus xll, 14. Dr. Dixon
called aptly his talk "a memorial mes
sage." He began with a finely-worded
tribute to Memorial Day and to the
soldier dead; of the meaning of the
bronzed groups on the battlefields and
In the public square, the polished
shafts glistening In the sun In a thous
and cemeteries what do they mean?
Dr. Dixon answered his query In an
eloquent picture of the heroes w ho fell.
Ho then spoke tenderly of the "un
known" soldier and In gems of senti
ment mentioned tragic sentences and
marks which tell the story of the un
known soldier a mother waiting for
the husband, children for their father,
felsters for brothers and she who Is
nearer than a sister waiting In vain for
their dear ones' return. But they are
not unknown! The angels answer, no;
the God of Battle answers, no; the na
tion answer?, no.
Dr. Dixon spoke of the "eloquence of
the armless sleeve" and what It por
tends. Wo will not have them with us
long; soon, even the youngest will
have gone before the Great Captain.
To him the thought was overwhelming.
IS NOT A HOLIDAY.
Dr. Dixon cautioned against using
Memorial day as a holiday. When tho
celebration Is in this spirit the act Is
blasphemous. Theic is a higher pur
pose of pajlng tribute to the men who
died. Their place is supreme becausf
thej did a supreme work. The whole
world was watching for freedom but
aiound the tree of state wound a ser
pent, stunting the growth. It did not
grow ns It was planted to grow with
the equal freedom to man, of what
ever color. Then came the puiglng,
It was not a war of extension of do
main, it did not mean the crushing of a
Napoleon or an Iron Duke it was for
principle. The Ulackinan stood cow
ering between a foiest of bayonets.
Which would be the victory? And
thank God right was triumphant.
Never before was there such a contest
and for such a cause. The Issue for
ever settled a ureat question. Never
slnco the angel spoke a peace on earth
and to men a good will has there bean
such an episode as tho mustering out
of the rebel army. As Christ died to
save men so the soldiers in blue died
to make men fiee.
Di. Dixon paid a beautiful tribute to
the war time woman, saying that she
should be honored with the men who
fell. In closing Dr. Dixon honored the
Hag with a mighty outburst of elo
quence, Mts. Biundage of the choir
sang "The Peace Hymn of tho Repub
lic," the audience singing tho chorus.
The post was in charge of Captain
McAndrevv and tho Union Veterans'
union was commanded by Colonel E.
C. Yeomans.
IN THE SIMPSON CHURCH.
The auditorium of the Simpson
church' was tilled to Us utmost capacity
The altar railing was draped with na
tional colors and potted palms and
iiowerlng plants enhanced these beau
tiful emblems with their variegated
colors. Inside tho altar railing, upon
easels stood large sized photos of the
martyred president Abraham Lincoln,
Geneials Giant and Logan and a. fac
simile of the Grand Army badge. Tho
wnoie effect was increased by two
stacks of guns placed on either side ot
theso easels. At tho hour of service
tl post led by Post Commander Asa
13. Stevens and Adjutant W. S. Jonea
filed In and occupied th'e front seats.
The post was followed by Camp No. 8,
Sons of Veterans, led by Captain Wil
liam Leber and First Sergeant John B.
Plume and the Womans' Relief corps,
No. CO, led by President Mrs. Iona
Walter and Secretary Mrs. SuEle Loo
mis. These two detachments took
seals immediately behind tho post.
After the opening hymn prayer was
offered by Gcorgo L. Peck, superintend
ent ef tho Sabbath school. During tho
tatting of tho collection A. E. Morso
played several patriotic airs upon the
saxaphone, accompanied by Walter
Davles upon the pipe organ. The choir
sang tin anthem and wero followed
with responsive reading by the con
gregation from Psalm xls. A quartette
consisting of Thomas Abrams, W. W.
Jones. Harry A. Wrlgley and William
Whitman, sang "Remember O Mighty
One." After tho regular announcements
by the pastor the congregation gang the
"Battle Hymn of tho Republic" with
great zest.
The paatop prefaced his sermon with
ft few shcrt remarks of thanks to tho
docointlon committee and ushers. Ho
then read his txt taken from Joshua,
lv:8-7; "That this may be a sign amoni;
you, thut when your children ask their
fathers in time to come, saying, what
mean yo by these stones. Then yo
rhall tinsvvw them Tlvesn
stones shall bo for a memorial unto
tho children of Israel forever."
MR. SWEET'S SERMON.
In tho course of his sermon tho pas
tor said that they had gathered not
to renew old annlmosltles, not to re
call the memory of the past with hat
red, not to revilo tho late enemy, but
to pay a token ot resiect to the hon
ored dead. To place a memorial over
against tho place which marked the
last resting place of those who had
been mustered out to "Join that in
numerable caravan, which moves to
the pale realm of shado where each
shall take his chamber in tho silent
halls of death."
"Your action," continued he, "is not
only Justifiable but ennobling for It has
as its motive the keeping ever green the
memory of those whose lives had been
laid down on the battle field or in pris
on house for n Just cause. But it is
wiso to forget tho Injury, tho cause
of strife, and to allow no reflections
upon the past, which would near the
beautiful intention on such occasions.
Better by far, to bury such feelings
for were we not the victor's and cannot
we not be charitable to the vanquished
ones?" Tho trials of God's people be
fore coming under tho leadership of
Joshua were then upon nnd it was
shown that for a memorial to their
successors, this pile of stones were
erected near.Jordan. This would prove
that though suffering forty years' trial,
they had at last reached Canaan nnd
already their hearts were gladdened by
the sight of their new inheritance. In
deed, it was a memorial of deliver
ance. DARK DAYS or THE WAR.
The pastor then, in an loquent
strain, carried the old soldiers back to
the days when the issue of 1SC0 was
fought out. From Sumter to Fort
Doneldson, from Petersburg to Fair
Oaks, from Atlanta to the sea, and
from Gettysburg to the fall of Rich
mond, they were taken, and the prin
ciple for which they had fought was
vindicated. Three conditions wero re1
sultnnt. First, a physlclal condition of
Freedom to 4,000,000 of bondmen. Sec
ond, a clever union of Interest between
tho North and South, which grows
stronger and clos-er as time passes.
Third, tho gradual blotting out of any
slmiliar conditions which might cause
another rupture.
We fix a stone in the pile- for tho
dead, the maimed, the halting. But
there Is nothing1 to show the tears
shed, the bitter sigh of a broken heart,
the anguish and sufferings of those
left to mourn.
In the midst of the nation's travel
comes the assassination of the beloved
leader, Abraham Lincoln. All else was
forgotten in this universal loss and ho
who had been faithful, constant nnd
true to he soldier boys was sincerely
mourned by a nation. Place then the
topmost stone on the pile as a oap-
sheavo for the memory of "Honest
Abe."
Close approaches the day when th2
nation shall bow at, one man to do
honor to the soldier dead. To the great
leaders who aro gone, to the men
who followed these leaders and as this
day of universal tecognltlon comes
each year, the post gi ow s less in num
bers. Shortly the post will be no more.
Let us then serve tho Leader of Lend
ers, tho Lord. For In the shedding of
His precious blood was not a nation
but the whole world redeemed.
Then when time is no more, when the
arms have been stacked for the la3t
time you all will find rest In the great
Camp of God. After the singing of
"My Country 'TIs of Thee" the benedic
tion was pronounced. During the ser
mon the pastor interspersed several
very beautiful original poems.

urged the help and oncourngement of
nil toward an additional success along
these lines during the coming year.
A collection was taken during which
the choir sang "Father Help Us in Thy
Care." After the singing of a hymn by
the congregation the benediction was
pronounced and tho services came to
a close. Tho report of Mr. Kennedy,
the agent of tho society, was In part as
follows:
Thirty-eight years ogo tho venerable
ChnrleH Puller, of percloiis rncmory, em
ployed mo ns agent of tho Lackawanna
Illblo society. I had already labored
four years In four other counties, thus
making forty-two jenrs given to tho work
of Blblo circulation. During those years
I had tho pleasure of canvassing my na
tlvo state from tho New York state lino
on tho north to tho Delaware stato lino
on tho south, nnd na far west as Sun
bury, embracing tho following fifteen
counties, namely: Bradford, Susquehan
na, Wayne, Carbon, Sullivan. Wyoming,
Lacknvvannn, Luzerne, Schuylkill, Berks,
Northampton, Columbia, Montour, North
umberland and Snider.
Various horses and vehicles wero worn
out nnd left by tho way by conveying
many tons of Bibles over tho mountains
and through the vnllles, from house to
house, and from door to door, thnt ev
ery dcstltuto family might bo supplied
with a copy ot tho word of God.
LARGEST AMOUNT OF WORK.
In Luzerne and Lackawanna counties
tho largest amount of this benevolent
work was dono among the continually
changing population, and at every nuw
exploration I found a lnrgo percentage
of families without tho Bible.
During tho last summer I had three
young men to assist mo In these two
counties; and as specimens of Blblo cir
culation, dono with neatness and dis
patch, 1 present the work of theso three
copartneis. I ordered their Bibles from
the Blblo house, directed their work, col
lected tho money to pay their expenses
and salary, wroto them numerous en
cournglng letters nnd Infused Into their
minds an onthustnslsm for their work,
and received and tabulated their reports.
W. D. Lathrop, a student of Wyoming
seminary, canvassed Forty Fort, Dor
ranceton, Prlnglevllle, Edwardsvllle,
Kingston, Larksvllle, I'lnlnsvllle, Carver
ton, Glen Lyon, Luzerne, Trucksvllle,
Shavertovvn, Huntsvlllo and Dallas. This
is largely a farming district, In parts
of which ho disposed of a copy of the
Scrlptuies In every third house ho visit
ed, lie Bald he never before spent a va
cation with so much religious profit,
nor felt so usefully employed; nnd would
like to resume tho work this summer.
John Wallace, of I'lttston, canvassed
PIttston Junction, Duryea, Pleasant Val
ley, Avoca, Brown's Patch, Stark's Patch,
Yatesvllle, Laflln, Inkcrman, Oregon, Port
Griffith and part of Plalnsvllle. Ho
speaks English, Polish and Bohemian.
This Is a mining district, and he car
ried Bibles In theso languages Into tho
crowded homes nnd boarding houses of
these foreign people; and some ho sold,
some ho left on approval, and may ho
gave away. On repeating his visits, some
of the miners removed their pipes and
took off their lints and respectfully bowed
their heads; and told him they wero
spending their Sundays very differently
now from the way In which they used
to spend them before ho gavo them tho
Bibles. They have put away the beer
and the cards, nnd now spend nearly
the entire Sunday reading the Blblo or
hearing it read. Ho savs this, to him, Is
much more than a secular calling, and
he would llko to devote to It more of
his time.
JOY IN THE MASTER'S SERVICE.
Judsdn N. Balloy, of Chinchilla, can
vassed Archbald, Gouldsboro, Dalovllle,
Yostvllle, Spring Brook, Madlsonville,
Turnersvllle, Freytown, Moscow, Elm
hurst, Peckville and Dunmore. This
district lies mostly In Drinker's Beech,
and tho roads are rough and hilly. Dur
ing tho hot days In August ho traveled
somo dnjs fifteen miles on foot, and car
ried a heavy satchel filled with Bibles;
but ho did It Joj fully, thnt ho might
servo his Divine Master and bring be
nighted souls to tho light of tho gos
pel. Ho presented the causo In various
meeting houses nnd school houses, and
received small contributions, as did also
the other two brethren; and they had
tho sj mpathy and co-operation of the
preachers of tho different denominations,
which was of much servlco In iccom
mendlng them to the people.
Thej went forth as they wero directed,

NINTH LECTURE OF
PARLOA COURSE
Spoke About the Selection and Care ot
Vegetables and Groceries.
HOW TO COOK STARCHY FOOD.
(Jrccn Vegetables Hnvo Not tho Nit
trttivo Vnluo Pound in tho (irnim
nnd Most of the Tubers, but Are
Vnlunblo Ilccnuso of tho Snlts,
Phosphates nnd Acids They Coutnin
-Prcsh Vegetables Should Be
Perfectly Crisp Ilcforo Being Put
in Boiling Water.
Miss Parloa. gave tho ninth lecture
of the course on domestic economics In
Young Men's Christian association hall
Saturday afternoon and spoke about
"The Selection and Care of Vegetables
and Groceries." She told how to cook
the starchy food materials and vege
tables and gave an explanation of tho
best French methods of cooking. She
first spoke about tho purchase of house
hold supplies and what every store
closet should be supplied with. In
speaking of cooking she said In part:
When a starchy sjbstanco Is first put
into a boiling liquid It begins to thicken
Immediately, provided the substance is
ground lino as In tho case of ccrn-starch.
If the cooking Is continued for twenty
minutes or half an hour, with the cover
on tho Btew-pan to prevent evaporation,
tho mlxturo grows thinner rather than
thicker.
The dlgcstlvo Juices have little action
on starch In the raw stato; It taken Into
tho system In that form It causes derange
ment ot tho alimentary canal and tho
greater part parses out unchanged. So It
Is very Important that this substance be
properly cooked that it may be palatable
nnd digestible.
The leguminous seeds, such as beans,
peaso and lentils aro richer than any other
vegetable in nlrtogonous principles, dui
unless cooked with care aro quite indi
gestible Beans when cooked with fat
aro a good substitute for meat. No mat
tcr what the mode of cooking, It must al
ways bo rather long. This Is true even
of the fresh or green beans; still when
fresh tho tlmo for cooking should not be
moro than one-third or one-half of that
lequlred for the diy bean. Pease w.itn
dried require long, slow cooking, but
when frcsh-plcked will cook quickly. Len
tils require about tho same tieatment as
dried beans.
DRIED BEANS AND PEAS.
The dilid beans and peas are much
richer In food values than tho fresh vege
tables, but require great care In cooking
that the tough skin may be made tender.
Tho French prepare theso vegetables In
puree that they may bo moro easy of di
gestion by the removal of tho tough en
velops. Green vegetables have not the nutritive
value found In tho grains and moot of the
tubers, but they aro valuable because of
the salts, phosphates and acids which they
contain, and which tho human body de
mands. They also fill tin Important part
In the human economy by supplying a
food which dilutes, as It were, the moro
highly concentrated foods, such as meats,
fish, eggs, etc. If It were not for tho use
of vegtables w e w ould eat too much of the
more stimulating foods. Finally, tho va
riety which they supply to our tables Is
one of their chief blessings.
The French cook uses a great deal of
butter In tho cooking of vegtables. Some
times sweet drippings are substituted, and
again a little fresh pork Is employed. The
most delicious soups aro made with a
combination of vegetables, herbs, water,
butter, or other fat, nnd salt and pepper.
There Is hardly a vegetablo which Is not
used cither cooked or raw In salad, the

ABOUT TRESH VEGETABLES.
All fresh vegetables should be perfectly
crisp before being put In the boiling
water. The water should bo boiling when
fresh vegetables are put Into It and kept
boiling gently all the time tho vegetable
ft cooklnj. If tho stew-pan Is only par
tially cowed the vegetables will be
greener and of better flavor than If cov
ered closely. Too long cooking darkens
tho vegetablo and makes It rank flavored.
Turnips, cabbage and cauliflower aro good
examples of this. If you cook 'the small
white turnip or cauliflower over thirty
minutes they Immediately begin to take
on color ard flavor, and It the cooking Is
extended to doube the time as It often Is
by some careless people, the vegetable
becomes lndlgettlble. If potatoes aro
cooked for two or three minutes after
they aro done, particularly If they are
surrounded by moisture, either of their
own or from some other source,, they be
gin to grow soggy and strong flavored. As
great care Is demanded that the vegetable
should not bo over-cooked, as that It Is not
under-cooked.
Carrots should never be pcelpd, they
should be scrapped. Tho heart of tho car
rot Is strong flavored and tho fiber more
woody than Is the outer coat of rich red.
This outer coat is all that should be used
In the old carrot. In the young carrot all
parts aro sweet and tender.
All vegetables when cookid over tlmo In
a closed vessel, become strong flavored
and dark colored, and tho 'oncer the cook
ing Is continued tho darker tho color and
the strongor the flavor.

those which aro wholly cooked in water.
The fat absorbs tho strong fUvors.
It must be remembered that the vego

both friend vegetable and tho fat can be
used In the same soup, stew or sauce with
the most satisfactory results.
For example, one can uso a certain
quantity of fried onion or carrot In a
soup or sauce and got a moro delicate fla

tho same vegetables raw. This cooking in
