SPECIAL SERVICES FOR CIIURCII
AND SUNDAY SCHOOL.
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.

Appointments a Big Surprise Mr.

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.

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. There the lire can be
fought to better advantage.
