Interior of the Church Decorated With Fruits, Drains and Vege tables, Evidences of tho Lord's Bounty nnd Goodness Special Ser mon by tho Pastor at the Morning Service Iu tho Evening the Sun day School Exercises Were Held. "America." The Festival of Harvest Home wan celebrated yesterday by the congrega tion and Sunday nchool of the Evan gelical church of the Holy Trinity. During the regular morning (service a special sermon was preached by the pastor. Rev. C. O. Splcker, and special music was rendered by the choir under tho direction of Prof. 'E. Protlicroe. In the evening exercises wore held by the Sunday school. Vegetables nnd other products ot gar den and field were used for decorating about the pulpit and nil the space back ot it. Corn stalks, unthreshed grain, pumpkins, potatoes, turnips, squashes, tomatoes nnd other grain and vege tables nnd fruit were piled In profusion but in tasteful array In every corner. Pastor Suioker'H Harvest Home ser mon wan preached in the morning. It was from the text "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his bene fits," Psalms clll:2. He Introduced his discourse with a reference to the wis dom In setting nsldc such a day for the purpose of giving prnlso for the abund ance provided by a gracious Father for use by his people. The psalmist lived In tho praise of God. He was ever busy singing sweet praises. It was his life work und high est Joy. There was ns good reason why we should praise, not only with our hearts, but with our hands nnd all that Is within us. This should be done, first, berause God, ulone holy nnd per fect, is alone worthy of praise and ador ation. He created us "unto his prdlwe and honor" ns he did all that he made. PRAISES AND HONORS GOD. The Armament above, the world, the whole realm praises and honors God. As the picture reflects praise to the artist, so should we praise our Maker. This Is especially epected In view of our intelligence and immortal souls. Being undeserving we are all the more bound to clve the honor und dues in return for the redemption of fallen and lost souls and from death; for redemp tion from oblivion to heavenly man sions. How can wc refrain from kneel ing and thanking Him? Provision- has also been made by the Father for our temporal welfare. In stead of famine nnd want there has been a rich harvest. No more fitting avenue than the Harvest festival could be chosen for showing appreciation; on no occasion, however, should there be a refrain from it In spirit. Not only has He been bountiful but It Is He nlono who is able to give such blessings and bounty. Instead of half hearted and nlgcnrdly. the. harvest has been open-handed nnd of great vol ume, not of drops nnd driblets like our love at times for Him. The extent of Ills goodness, Mr. Splcker said, was shown In the variety nnd delight wit nessed in the fruits, grain and vege tables contained in the church. God's goodness looms up the more prominently ns It is compared with our condition In receiving It. His lovo meets, too often, with faint apprecia tion, so cold and selfish Is man who wastes his lovo on perishing delights. BEEN ESPECIALLY BLESSED. Tho United States, said Mr. Splcker. had been especially blessed. So must we deal with him who blessed it and gave the overflow of the blessing to others, to the dying and starving In othT lands when the Lord und His goodness had not been known. This could not be done, however. If our own needs were forgotten, "charity begins at home." If there Is room far the Lord's blessing here among those who do not know Him, they should not be distributed elsewhere. Tho pastor asked his hearers if tho harvest had been enough for them In dividually. He urged that they permit neither their hearts nor souls to forget his benefits during the coming year. Every person should be a field for a harvest of grace, of gospel, of love for the Precious Son. Nor should the final harvest be forgotten, the harvest which shall be garnered and the wheat separated from the chaff. In the everlng, R. H, Urader, super intendent of the Sunday school, pre sided. There were anthems and hymns by tho school, nn opening address by Miss Jennie Saman, recitation by Grace Brown and a boIo and chorus by her and six small children, recitation by Lottie Bllckens, solo by D. J. Davis, recitation by Atta Wetzel, solo and chorus by Bessie Schlre and choir and remarks by the pastor. "America" was among the selections sung in concert by the school. tho same man, for no man can meet tho Infinite nnd be tho samo man. Obliga tions and vows mean something, they call for tho best effort of every man to the highest attainments In the moral uni verse. You are tho children ot such faith and It must be made manifest In your life. Only ns you aro true to God and faith fully fulfil your obligation to Him nnd your fellowmen, rnn tho world be per meated with the noblo Inspiration which arc yours, and which Is the cup.tclly of your'order to bestow. I know not If you nro Christians or no; If not you ought to be, for your work Is divine. Christ Is the embodiment of every truo life. Let your benovolcncc nbound. We may not know whom wo are bless ing, but my desire Is that when tho King shall say unto them on his right hand, "Come, yo blessed of my falther. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you." for I was nn hungered, nnd ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and yo pave mo dilnk; I was a stranger, and yo took me In; I was naked, nnd yo clothed me; I was slrk, nnd yo vlBltcd me. Then some of us mty answer him, saying: Lord, when saw we thee un hungered and fed thee, or thirsty and gnvo theo drink, or naked nnd cloth-d thee? nnd the King shall answer, "Verily I say unto you Inasmuch nn ye have dono It unto one of the lcnst of these, my brethren, yo have done It unto Me."

Ho Was Until Now Presiding Elder of tho Oneonto District Is Suc ceeded by Rev. Mr. Hall, of tho High Street Church, Blnghamton. Lntter'a Pastorate Will Be Assumed by Rev. Dr. Dresser, of Dakota. Appointments a Big Surprise Mr. Hall Not Known Ab a Candidate. Rev. Austin Griffin, D. D has been appointed presiding elder of this, the Wyoming district, of the Wyoming Methodist Episcopal conference to succeed Hev. J. G. Eckmnn, D. 1)., deceased. Dr. Griflln was until now presiding elder of the Onenonta district. He Is to be succeeded by Rev. Mr. Hall, of the High street church, Blnghamton. Rev, Dr. Dresser, of Dakota, succeeds Rev. Mr. Hall as pastor of the High street church. The appointments will create a big surprise us Rev. Mr. Hall was not generally known as a candidate. Tho transfer of Dr. Grlffln from the Oneon ta to this district Is thought to be for tho reason that a man of less exper ience could capably perform the duties of nn olllce peculiar to one of the most Important districts in Methodism, con taining ns It does a remarkable wealth of churches and members. Bishop Fowler, of Buffalo, on Sat urday made the nppolntments but not publlcnlly. Very few persons know of this result of the two conferences, among the presiding elders. After their meeting three weeks ngo their choice was communicated to Bishop Mulll leau, of Boston, acting bishop In the nbsenco of Bishop Fowler, who was In Europe. The former decided to nwalt Bishop Fowler's return before promul gating the nppolntment. 'Evidently the person selected was not adjudged satisfactory as Bishop Fowler on his return culled another meeting of the presiding elders at Blnghamton. They were in session there last Wed nesday and the result appears In the appointments promulgated yesterday. CELEBRATED HIS FIRST MASS. Rev. C. J.

Ryan said he would be only one of a large party of sportln? men from Syracuse and vicinity.

LETTER CARRIERS MEET. Men In the No. 8 Workings nt Hughestown Almost Suffocated. A party of men narrowly escaped death Saturday afternoon In No. 8 Pennsylvania mine at Hughestown, near Plttston. Fire damp from the burning Ravine mine, which connects with the No. 8 Pennsylvania, neurly suffocated them. Superintendent Thompson took twen ty men down to change the air current, as it was feared that a large body of gas from the Ravine workings would accumulate. They had erected a num ber of brattices and progressed well In their work when a large quantity of the deadly damp was suddenly detected. The following seven men were at once overcome; Sandy Thompson, in side superintendent: Patrick Hughes, Owen Jones, Michael Kelly, Michael Wnlsh, Alexander Wilson and Jesse Wilson. The others could offer no. help. They were so affected by tho gas that it was with great difficulty they crawled and stumbled to the foot of the shaft, where word was sent to the surface. No time was lost In increasing the speed of the fans nnd changing the direction of the current toward the seven men now lying prostrate nnd helpless. As the nlr became purified they were rescued one by one. All were unconscious and very 111. Alexander Wilson's condition was serious. Ho was delirious and some time was re quired to bring him to his senses. In the Ravine mine a large force of men has been put at work by the New ton Coal company. But little progress has been made In cheeking the fire. The Red Ash vein Is being flooded In the hope of forcing the gas through the bore hole, where the lire started, to the Mnrcy vein.
