that have a nattiotlr flavor to tliein.
Rev J K. Contllt, of Stillwater. N. J.,
occupied the pulpit yesterday nt tho
Second Frosbj teiian church where the
union services with the First church
congicgatloh were held. Ho spoke both
morning and evening- to large audi
ences. James V. Toncy, esq , read tin
president's proclamation In tho morn
ing, nnd the musical progiammo was
In uccoid with Its suggestions. Tho
praver of the service was a fetvent pe
tition for the divine blessing on the
Ameilcnn foico nnd on the efforts ot
this nation In behnlf of humanity. Tho
sermon which followed had no bent lug
on tho piesoi.t crls's but was a strong
MphUunl discourse regni.ilng the duties
anil nppoitunltlts of the church.
EVENING SERVICE.
In the evening- Mr. Condlt spoke
fiom the tet In Timothy. 1:12. "Fight
tho Good Eight of Faith." He urged
tho nggiesslvo life of God's people on
tho lino not of arbitration, but wai
fnre, nnd iloptecated the spltltual rebel
lion so often taken up by man against
the will of God. In the course of his
rcmatks ho lcferred to the records ot
hotolsm In vailous walks ot life, nota
bly among- railway cnginceia and
ships' cicws, briefly commenting on
tho hideous example afforded In tho
Homgogno disaster. He uiged thu ab
sence of woildllness among rhiistlans,
and graphically descilbcd the battle
against the world, the llesh and the
devil.
Mr. Chance had piepared a specially
fine piogramme of music for the service
of praise in the morning; Tho oigan
prelude was a Felectlon by Gounod and
the opening nnthem wnrf tho chorus
from the cantata of Belshazar. "Wc
"Will Give Thanks.' Mr. Chance was
fine in his organ numbers nnd the full
choius choir was insplrinr in Its ex
cellent lendering- of the anthem.
Tho offeitory was tho duet "O Clap
Your Hands All Yc People," nnd was
sung Impressively and veiy artistically
by Misses Elack and Garagun. The
organ postlude was a selection by Moz
ai t The congregational singing was
an inspiration which reached a. climax
In tho hymn "America," which was
suns after the reading of the presi
dent's pioclamatlon.
VOCAL NUMBERS.
The evening programme of music
was a bc.uit'ful and well icndeted one.

sisting of a duet by Miss Black and
Mr. Beynon and response from the
quartette. Tho oignn postlude was by
Costa.
The services at the Christian church,
Providence, were elaborate In every
sense of tho word. A musical pro
gramme, which was of a decided patii
otlc natuie, was tendered in magnifi
cent stlo by the choir. Solos and
quartettes were numerous, and there
was an inspiring seimon by tho pas
tor. In the North Main Avenue Baptist
church, Pastor Watklns delivered a
bermon entitled "God's Hand Mani
fested In tho Triumphs, nnd tho Preser
vation of Our Navy." The sermon w as
appropriate to tho occasion and was
eloquently delivered by Mr. "Watklns.
A very large audience was piesent.
Tho choir, under the dliectlon of Pro
fessor Reese AVatklns, rendcied special
music.
Rev. George E. Guild officiated at the
Providence Presbyterian chutch and
his obseivanco of the pioclamatlon was
appropriate and beautiful. In connec
tion with his lemarks, the church choir
discoursed excellent patriotic music.
At the Noi th Scranton Methodist
Episcopal church a largo audience
nobly responded to tho significant call,
and were treated with a sermon of rare
fxcellenco by tho pastor, Rev. William
Edgar.
IN WAYNE AVENUE CHURCH.
The services at the Wayne Avenue
Baptist church wcro conducted in the
moi nlng. Addresses were delivered by

sity. A lurge choir tendered special
music. As at the above place the ser
vices in the Welsh, Congregational
chinch were held In tho mot nlng-. The
Rev. Dr. R. S. Jones pleached tho ser
mon in tho Welsh tonguo befoie a largo
nudience. Rev. J. A. Evans delivered
the address in response to the procla
mation in the West Market Stieet
Welsh Baptist chuich. He dwelt on
God's bountiful mercy In protecting tho
cause of tho right.
Tho evening service at tho Jackson
Street Baptist church yesterday was
devoted entirely to acquiescing with
the president's proclamation, and the
church vvas crowded. Tho altar plat
form was decoiated with flags and
flowers. The exercises vvoie opened
with a prelude by Miss Marlon Hutch
Inson. Patriotic hymns were sung by
the congregation and several anthems
weio rendered by tho choir. Prayer
vvas offered by tho pastor and tho
proclamation wan read by Miss Anna
Thomas. Over her head weie held two
flags by two small boys.
After a series of responsive readings,
an able address vvas delivered by the
pastor, Rev. Thomas DcGruchy. He
spoke ot biblical and secular wars and
drew attention to tho fact that Ood's
hand directed nations, Slaveiv was
abolished in 18C1 and Cuba Is being
freed today because of God's interven
tion. And to God the trlbuto of pialse
belonged, for the success of our arms
on land and sea. Our American man
hood and Christianity camo nlono from
the Almighty.
SCRANTON STREET CHURCH.
Both services at tho Scranton Street
Baptist church, of which Rev. S. F.
Matthews is pastor, weio devoted to
the spirit of tho day. Largo audiences

ferns. In tho morning tho hymns wero
all patriotic nnd several nntheins were
rendered by the choir In chargo of Mrs.
D. G, Boddoe.
The pastor preached from the text
found in tho words written In the
ninety-fourth psalm, verso 20: "Shalt
tho throne of iniquity have fellowship
with thee, which frameth mischief by
a law." Tho speaker llrst spoke of
causes of the war, and outlined tho
opportunities lost to Spain. Power nnd
wealth weio her aim to the exclusion
of righteousness. The law of God was
now being enforced. Harmony must
exist nnd Indeed God does "Remember
the Maine." It vvas well that a God
feailng nntlon should return thanks to
tho Providence which protected nnd
gave iiower to our arms.
In the evening hymns were sung and
the choir lendeied several selections.
Shott but timely nddrosses wcro given
by Dr. B. G. Beddoc, Dr. T. M. Sender
ling. B. G. Morgan, C. II. Corliss and
C. P. Ashleman.

mation was observed at yesterday
morning'3 service at the Washburn
Street Presbvterlun church. Floral
nnd flag decorations beautified the al
tar and pulpit. Patilotlo hymns were
sung and the choir rendered several
selections.
MR. MOFFATT'S SERMON.
The subject of Rev. J. I'. Moffatt's
sermon was "Thanksgiving," and ho
preached from the text as recorded
in Revelations xl: 1":" Wo give Thee
tl, unks, O Lord God Almighty, which
art, and wast, and ait to come, be
cause Thou hast taken to Thee Thy
great power, nnd has't reigned."
His words were fraught with pro
phecy, the sermon In Its entirety be
ing a masterly effort, indicating care
ful preparation and deep thought. He
leviowed tho past hlstoiy of this na
tion. Fiom a chrj sails it wns now
changing. Outwaid growth must come,
tho Inward having been fully accom
plished. A great debtlny was being
entered upon. Much as Great Britain
became powerful, so were we. God
was with us. Education and Chris
tianity was telling and tho Anglo
Saxon would rule. We were In u sec
ond revolution and gi eater results
would accrue than from our llrst i evo
lution. The God of battles directed our
course and there wa3 only ono end
ing. Rev. A. L Raincr, Ph. D., pastor
of St. Mnik's Lutheran church,
Pleached an able sermon at jesterday
morning's service upon the subject
"Launch Out Into tho Deep," in ac
cordance with the lcquost of the pies
Idcnt. Tho words are found recorded
In the gospel of St. Luke v: 4. Ho
drew timely comparisons and indicat
ed that as Christ's teliglon went
abroad so nation's became enlightened
and wars weio waged for humanity's
snko and not for gain or conquest.
The victories which have fallen to our
arms were due to Divine dliectlon,
nnd to God wns duo the praise of .1
grateful nation.
Rev. J. B. Sweet, pastor of the Simp
son Methodist church, preached a ser
mon at the moi nlng service upon "Na
tional Thanksgiving," in which he
touched upon the spirit of the procla
mation. Rev. David Jones, of the Flist
Welsh Congregational; Rev. D. 1'.
Jones, of the Tajeinaclo Congrega
tional: Rev. L. It. Foster, SI. A., of
tho Sumner Avenue Presbytyrlan;
Rev. James Benninger, of tho Hamp

Schoettle. of the Chestnut Stieet Ger
man Presbyterian, and Itev. E. J. Mc
llenry, rector at St. David's Episco
pal: all refeired to the proclamation

vices yesterday and in the prayers.
Patriotic hvmns were also the order
at the above churches.

TJio events at Saturday's celebration
under the auspices of Irish-American
sofl.UIe-t of tho county in commemo
ration of the Irish uprising of 1708 weie
worthy of a largo patronage, but tho
postponement from July Foutth was
a iierlous hnndlcay. The attendance at
Athletic pari, was not above TOO.
Most of ths prizes offered were cap
tured by those cnti red under the ban
ner of the Young Men's Christian asso
ciation. The bicycle races were very
exciting, and tho ono-mllo relay raco
was splendid. It wns not In the fast
time made or the crash ot records, but
In tho nip and tuck competition from
start to finish. Attorney John J. Mur
phy was dlrectoi-gener.il of the events
nnd handled tho programme with skill
and satisfaction. Beit Steele, ot tho
Young Men's Chilstlan Association
base ball team, was announcer, nnd
vvas lost to view behind a largo mega
phono made of paste boaid, The Cum
berland band of the Third ward fut
nlshod the Instrumental music.
It was an ideal day for outdoor ath
letic work. The llyard dash was tho
flist. Hugh Konncdj A. Ollcndlke, Ed
ward McIIugh. Thomas TIerney and
Frank Gllroy entered. Kennedy Is new
to the business but ho camo In flist

THE HURDLE RACE.
Ollcndlke won tho 220-vaul hurdle
raco out ot a field comprising Tim
Qulnnan, Kennedy and George Gibbs.
Kennedy came in second in this event.
The same entries were up for the 140-
yaid race ad the pilzcs weie taken by
Ollcndlke and Kennedy. Qulnnan made
no ureat effort to win these events,
using them more for exorcise for the
mils lace which was thlid on the list.
He won It In a walk nlmost. Ho also
won the half-mile without any exer
tion. The mile rolay lace vvas tho most ex
citing of the day. Tctms representing

neck and neck to the quarter stretch.
Kennedy had six yaids of a stait on
Qulnnan and kept It until they were
half way around. Tho latter went
ahead and kept ahead until tho string
broken. Ho had no more than Bl
yaids to spate, however.
BICYCLE RACES.
The blcyclo races wero the most ox
citing of the day. Though there were
but two races, a mile and a half-mile
