Religions THE Young Men's Christian asso ciation in this city will suffer a severe loss this year in tho absence of assistant secretary Wiley whose faithful, rarncst work in that organization 1ms been a feature for tho past throe years. Few people outside the association realize how valuable has been his presence and Interest during this time. Possessed of great natural aljlllty in business, and a religious spirit beautiful on every side, his gentle and obliging steadfastness has been of incalculable service. Mr. Wiley will leave In January for n preparatory course at Wyoming sem inary after which the long deferred hope of his heart for a college education will bo realized. Mr. Wiley has labored under great disadvantages as since ear ly boyhood his financial help has been needed at his home and the ambition to study for th'o ministry has been un satisfied. Now through his own efforts a way has opened and the probability of a university career seems very promising. Mr. Wiley will still con tinue his connection with our Young Men's Christian association, where his work will go on to some degree in va cation and on Sunday. Just at present lie is actively engaged In booking lec ture and entertainment courses In vari ous towns In this region and elsewhere. Tho course arranged for the Young Men's Christian association of this city Is more extensive and probably of a higher order than any yet given here. It will average a fortnightly entertain ment during the senson and will open Oct. 19 with an attraction of the stand ard course sure to appeal very strongly to Scrantonlans for it will signalize the first professional appearance of our own Edith Norton, who will como with the famous instrumental quartette, the Park sisters.

The reports from parishes showed en couraging elements of growth, notably In Gibson, where regular services have not been held for some years. The hope is that in future the Gibson church will be opened every Sunday. The morning sermon was preached by James Herrlck, lay preacher at Fleet vllle, from the text Amos, lv-12, "Pre pare to meet thy God, Oh, Israel." Tho report of the committee on obit uaries brought to light the fact that nine, since the last meeting, have been called on high. They are: Ellsha Tif fany, of Dlmock; Mrs. Harriet Kent, of Brooklyn; Mrs. Maria Barber, of Scranton; Mr. Elmer G. Bacon, of Nicholson: Mrs. David Willmarth, of Hopbottom; Mrs. Permelia Hawley, of Hopbottom; Mrs. Ives, of New Mil ford; Mr. and Mrs. Asa Day, Hopbot tom. At the session of the Young People's union, the following officers were nomi nated: President, Rev. R. E. Horn; vice-president, S. B. Eldrldge; secre tary, Miss Gertrude Waldle; treasurer, J. L. Tiffany. It was voted to publish a quarterly paper during the coming year, and Rev. R. E. Horn was chosen editor and manager. The association will meet next year at Gibson and Rev. F. W. Whippen, of Scranton, is to preach the occasional sermon. The closing sermon of this session was preached by Rev. F. E. Adams, of Hopbottom, from I Cor., xllI-12, "Now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face." The choir of tho Brooklyn church gave the meetings excellent help and they were assisted In the afternoon session by Mrs. E. M. Tiffany, of Hop bottom, who gave an Inspiring solo. The usual resolution of thanks to tho entertaining parish was passed by a most hearty vote. The meetings were very Interesting and inspiring. Probably tho best news that Scran ton people could hear regarding honor to one of Its citizens would ho that of having Rev. Rogers Is rael selected as a successor to Hlhop Rullson, tho much-loved prelate of this dloce&o of the Episcopal church. Thero Is a possibil ity that such a choice may be made, although it is not known whether Mr. Israel will allow his name to go before tho Diocesan convention. Should he do so, a largo number of Scrantonlans, ir respective of denomination, would un affectedly rejoice, for since his advent to this city his reputation for zealous Christian work has extended far be yond tho confines of his own parish, or in fact this diocese. " The second quarterly meeting of this conference year, of the United Evan gelical church, of Scranton and Sibley charge will be held on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 11 and 12. Preaching services In the Sibley church, Satur day evening at 7 o'clock. Quarterly conference after services. On Sunday morning services and the Lord's Sup per.

The parsonage of tho German Pres byterian church, which stands on a plot of ground owned by the congregation, on Farvlew avenue, will be dedicated Sunday afternoon. The building was erected by Contractor Anthony Dick man and was but recently completed. It Is the result of much personal effort upon tho part of tho congregation, which Is not largo numerically. Rev. J. Schoettlc, pastor of the church, will have charge of tho ceremonies and will be assisted by Rev. E. J. Schmidt, Rqv. F. E. Haas, both of South Scranton, and tho churoh ofllclals. A beautiful work has been taken up by a number of young women Inter ested in religious advance In this city in a way that 'Vlll appeal to many hearts. Tho Presbyterian church has a mission called tho West Lackawanna Mission, which' has dono an enormous amount of good in that locality. Re cently Miss Thomas ,a kindergartener, formerly of Plttston, who Is Interested in charitable and religious nuns, sug gested that a kindergarten be estab lished In this particularly neglected Held, and that sho would give her ser vices If the voung women who had been Identified In the mission work would assist her In taking caro of tho largo number of children who would undoubtedly wish to enter. Volunteers have been received so rapidly that the kindergarten Is a success, thanks to Mrs. 13. L. Fuler, who has arranged to furnish supplies, nnd also to the young girls who are each to give up one fore noon a week to this branch of the Master's service. Those who will assist Miss Thomas during the term are the Misses Hanley, tho Misses Sanderson, Miss Elizabeth Torrey, Miss Stelle, Miss Blrdsall, Miss Grace Kierstead. The children will pay a nominal fee one penny a day, which Is all they can pay for the privilege, the influence of which must certainly be felt In that community.

Tho pastor will preach on Sunday, Sept. 12, tho second of his sermons on Elijah. Rev. F. A. Dony occupied tho pulpit at East Rush last Sunday. Not tho one, however, which Mr. Hogan did not occupy. The following is Dr. J. M". Buckley's reply to a question which has agitated many Scranton clergymen In recent years: In my church the organist and one other of tho main leading singers at tend tho ball, dance, and play cards. They aro very Influential members of tho church, and It seems as If wo could not get on without them. Thero Is a good deal of complaint about them. They could not bo Induced to give up the forbidden amusements, but they will quit the service and probably tho church if they uro put out of their positions. What Is my duty In tho matter? A. There Is no reason for putting them out of their positions that would not i require their exclusion from tho church. IT GOES ON WITH A RUSH And more feet are being fitted with good shoes by the Kline Shoe Co., than at any other three stores in town, Yet, 'twould be strange were it otherwise, FINE SHOES SELL HERE FOR LESS MONEY Than the manufacturers ever dreamt of making them for, simply because wc must close out the stock, and there's only a week or two to do it in now.

The Discipline plainly makes It tho duty of tho pastor to proceed against such persons when ho hecomes nware of tho facts. It does not make It his duty to play tho part of a detective, but In a conspicuous case, whero his nttentlon Is directed to It, ho must steadily and pa tiently endeavor to Induce them to give up these things. If they wero not mem bers of the church, and were employed from outside, definitely having a good moral reputation, and It was Impossible to secure n good organist and singer from among the people, It might not bo neces sary to Inquire Into their habits with regard to amusements. Tho Issue thnt you havo raised Is an Issue of member ship, and that Is tho primary Issue to settle. Tho question of getting on with out them Is not the question. No person Is necessary to God's plan. No local church Is necessary to His plans. If Methodism had gono upon that simple principle, which none can deny, It would not havo had half as many members as It now has, but It would havo more moral power. We do not refer merely to amusements, but to the administration of moral and religious discipline. Religious News Mes. At the Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoon at 3.45 an unusually Interesting meet ing will be held. F. M. Bouton will speak and there will be special music (instrumental and vocal) under the direction of Prof. J. M. Chance.
