NORTH SCRANTON NOTES.
Union Thanksgiving- Services Con
ducted in Methodist Episcopal
Church Other Notes.
The union Thanksgiving Day ser
vices In North Scranton were held yes
terday morning at the Providence
Methodist Episcopal church, and were
In charge of the pastor of that chuich,
Rev. G. A. Cure. A largo cougi liga
tion, representing the Methodists,
Ptesbyterlun, Christian and Uuptist
denominations, was present. On the
pulpit platform were heated Revs. Mr.
Cure, Reading, Clymer, lteos-; and Da
vies. The choir of the Methodist
church led in tho singing, Miss Belie
Green presiding at the organ.
The services opened wiui the sing
ing b.v the congregation of "From all
who dwell beneath the skies, let the
Creator's praise arise," following
which Rev. S. G. Heading read Psalms
100 and 147 as a Sciipttire lesson, and
Rev. 11. W. Clymer offered prayer.
The anthem, "Trust in the Lord," was
rendered by the choir. A collection in
bf half of the Home for the Friendless
vva3 taken and the congregation united
in singing "My Country, 'TIs of Thee."
Rev. K. G. Reese, pastor of the Purl
tan Congregational chuich, then
preached tho sermon of the day. His
text was Matt, xiii: 33, "The kingdom
of heaven Is like unto leaven, which
a woman took, and hid, In thiee meas
ures of meal, till the whole was leav
ened." His subject was "Supreme
Thanks for the Spiritual Leaven of tho
Kingdom of Heaven." In thu course
of his sermon, Rev. Mr. R"cs- said:
"We should be thankful for the pros
perity of our country; thankful for the
quiet manner in which tho great politi
cal campaign was conducted. We can
thank God that wo nre living In an
age of splendid opportunities and stir
ling activities. We can thank God
that wo are living In the best land
and under the best government In the
world. But supremely we thank God
for tho spiritual leaven of Ills king
dom. "It's leavening Influence Is felt In all
directions. First, In the manifesta
tion of our people In sending their chil
dren to thu Sunday school. Millions of
boys and girls are constantly coming
under Its benign Influence. Again,
this leaven of the kingdom is seen In
the llrerniure of our land. More re
ligious Journals and books are pub
lished than ever. The lllblo surpasses
nil other publications. We have often
heard the insertion that the Bible
Is losing Its hold upon tho people, but
it is not true.
"Again, we see tho Influence of the
spiritual leaven Inthe ivnliu of wo
man. It has elevated woman to the
sphere bhe holds toduy, and thu day
should not be far olf when she will be
given the light of franchise co-equal
with man and will assert that privi
lege for thu future glory of the iiatiun,
tho statu and tho homo. Again, wo
sic the leavening Influence of thu
kingdom of heaven in the glowing
unity of Christians. Denominational
ism falls and crumbles away before
the kingdom of Christ.
"All I'vungellcul bodies will work to
gether for tho salvation of man. Wo
see also Hie leaven of Interest among
our young people as nuver before, A
few days past, Philadelphia hud 17,000
delegates of u young people's society
gathered there magnifying nnd prais
ing God. We may be clad in different
phurnphurunlla, but let) us stand sldu
by side and rank by ruukjiud fight thu
buttles of our Lord, thus bringing to
us still gi eater measuies of tluiiiUful
iiti'." The service closed with the singing
by the congregation of "All Hall rho
Power of Jems' Name," The' benedic
tions was pronounced by Hev. W. F.
D.iviu.i.

GREEN RIDGE NOTES.
Congregations of Five Churches
Unite in Green Ridge Presby-
terinn Church Other Notes.
Tho union Thanksgiving services at
the Green Ridge Presbyterian church
yesterday were unusually interesting
and Impressive. Tha church was
beautifully decorated with palms and
white chrysanthemums. There was

Psalm. "O praise the Lord, all yi
natlr.n: ptul" Him all ye poopl. for
bis merciful kindness Is great toward
us; and the truth of the Lord en
dureih forever. Pi .Use ye the Lord."
An English statesman had recently
made the statement, he said, that
tho L'nlted States wns the c.reat 'Ml
nation on the earth. We are also tho
onlv people who have a national
Thanksgiving day. This j more than
an annual tlviiksgiving day, It Is tho
last thnnl'sgiviiig day of a eantury
wonderful In its ilevelor montn ard
progioss. Dr. r.anslng reviewed the
causes we hive lor thankfulness in
the progress of the world durln'? the
last century under four heads.
First the spread of the a-ea n
civilization; rec mil, tin- development
of invenlivc genius: third, (he Increase
and spread of human sympathy: fourth
and bet't, the spread of tin. gospel of
Christ.
Beginning with the Atlantic coast ot
our own country he traced the progress
of civilization nnd Its Inlluencc from
the hcgiuiiln? of the icnturv acres
our own country then to the Sandwich
islands -changed from the home of
cannibals to the home of a tivilln 'd
people sending messages to toe Islands
of the sea. There he pictured the
.iianges In Japan, Australia. New '."
land, and Africa, half n century ngi
a country without a map and an opt n
sore to the civilized world, now teem
ing with life from north to south, and
east to west and receiving the con
sideration of the whole commercial
woi Id.
He noted the abolition of slavery,
the work of the missionaries. Take us
a sample coe the s.iv Ing of the le
gation at Peking by the ability of
Gumewell, r. M. K. misslonniy who was
able to fortify the city because of lils
military training; the establishment
of republics; the spread of education;
the power of tho common man who Is
the power of the nation, because what
he tuys .yoen and what he demands
in done, Lincoln was an example of
this class.

pietty little cantata, by liuules H.
Gabriel, was tendered lust evening be

REPORT ON
AGRICULTURE
IConclililccI from 1'rtfro J, I
trlot of Columbia, nnd points out the
Hpeclnl danger to children from rabid
dogs. Owing to thu very serious ex
pense to families In moderntc tircmn
Htnnces In subjecting their children to
the Pasteur treatment, ho recommends
either that tho secretary of agriculture
bo authorized to pay for Hitch trcnt
ment for parties bitten In the dlsttict,
or thnt one of tho medical services of
the government bo directed to furntsr.
such treatment free of ohnrge.
The report stntcs that ticks received
from Porto Rico nave been found Iden
tical with the welt-known Southern
cattle tick. The main problem still
presented by the Texas fever question
is tho finding of a dip that will effect
ually destroy the tick without Injuring
the cattle. Efforts In this direction are
to bo continued.
Division of Chemistry.
Elaborate work In the Investigation
of food ndulteratlon has bean con
tinued. Over 500 samples of preserved
meats of nil kinds, purchased In open
market, have been examined. The
meat of the horse, has been examined
for tho discovery of a method wheioby
it may bo detected when sold under
another name. Very little of it seems
to be sold In the United States, wheth
er under Its own name or any other
name. Active eo-operntlon has been
hnd with other bodies, notably the
Pure Food congress, In nn effort to se
cure legislation on the subject of food
adulterations. National legislation on
the subject is urged us essential to
supplement und muke efficient the
work done in the several states. The
sugar-beet work has been prosecuted
with vigor and Intelligence. Foreign
food products Introduced Into this
country have been the subject of care
ful study. The results are confiden
tial und are used for the information
of tho authorities of this country con
trolling Imported food products. Co
operation of tho chief chemist has been
Invited In several other directions and
always cheerfully extended. So, also,
there has been co-operation with the
other divisions of tho department
where chemical work has been neces
sary. '
Seed and Plant Introduction.
Seed and plnnt introduction receives
extensive notice, special stress being
laid upon the Importation of cereals,
Including tne mucaronl wheats of
Southern Europe, of grasses and for
age jdnnts. nnd of vegetables which
have already demonstrated their val le.
The Klushu rice Introduced from Jap
an has already added 1,000,000 bushels
annually to the Louisiana rice crop.
The successful Introduction of date
trees in Arizona is another valuable
achievement. In concluding this subject-
Secretary Wilson cites the intro
duction of wheats from Russia, Hun
gary and Austria, greatly exceeding In
yield our present varieties, and pomt3
out thnt If, as the result of these In
troductions, the wheat yield of the
l'nlted States should be increased by
but one bushel per acre, this would
mean nt the farm price for wheat In
1M!, an addition of $20,000,000 to th-3
income of our farmers.
Forestry Work.
There has been a great growth in
this work, which is of such a kind as
to fully justify additional resources.
Moreover, there hns been an enormous
increase in the demand, both public
and private, for services of this char
acter throughout the country. The re
lations of the division of forestry with
practical lumbermen and tree plan
ters have been closer and more useful
than ever before. The total member
ship of the force nt the highest1 last
summer was 125. The public interest
in forest matters is not only keener
and wider than at any time before, but
It is growing with r--Mdlty beyond pre
cedent. Co-operation In forest work
has been sought of this department by
the secretary of the Interior in refer
ence to the national forest reserves,
and from the forest, fish and game
commission of New York, for working
plans for the New York state forest
preserves. The total requests for
working plans at the close of the year
exceeded 50,000,000 acres, of which two
ond a half millions were private land.
Personal examinations were made of
4S tracts in II states, covering nearly
300,000 acres, plans were actually pre
pared for 200,000 acres, and 50,000 acres
were put under management. Tree
planting plans were made for 59 appli
cants. The department Is receiving with In
creased frequency applications for
planting and working plans fcr water
sheds from which cities obtain their
supplies. A typical instance Is that
of the water company of Johnstown,
Pa., one of the chief objects being
to prevent a recurrence of the disaster
there.
Domestic Silk Culture.
In lil)9 the United States paid over
$32,000,000 for imported raw silk, and
in 1900 over $-15,000,000. The secretary
believes that a large amount of cheap
and now unemployed labor among the
colored youth In the Southern states
could be made available for domestic
Mlk culture; and be desires an appro
priation of $10,000 to suf on foot re
search regarding th production of
silk, to the end that the money now
paid to foreign labor bo distributed at
home,
