Splendid Programme Rendered at Penn Avenue Baptist Church. The annual Christmas service of the Sunday school of the Penn avenue 15ap tlst church was conducted yesterdnv afternoon in the main auditorium In the presence of n large gathering. The Sunday school children, of this church have two distinctive Christinas celebrations every year. At one, gifts nre distributed while the other takes largely the nature of a religious ser vice. Tills latter was the one conduct ed ypsterday afternoon. The principal feature of the pro gramme was an emblematic exorcise arranged by the pastor, Ilev. Dr. Rob ert F. Y. Pierce and entitled. "The I'hristmas Message." This was enact ed by a number of young ladies, one of whom was dressed to represent a pil grim weary of the world and seeking the real meaning of the Christian mes sage. Young ladles attired- to represent wealth, pleasure, ambition, learning, etc., sought tu show these things were the Christmas message, but the pil grim found no rest until a figure garbed as mercy led to a gate opening Into the celestial city. The gate was opened and inside was revealed u cross from which a crown was taken and placed upon the head of the pilgrim. The rest of the programme included an address of welcome by Paul Benton, recitations by Minnie Smith, Walter Harris and Dorothy Capwell and the singing of carols by the rest of the children. Luther Keller, who presided, yester day rounded out his fifteenth year as superintendent of the Sunday school of this church. ANNUAL DANCE TONIGHT.

GIFFIN. Spoko Lnst Night In the Elm Park Church of the Dangers Which Beset the Mnrlners on the Stormy Sea of Life Scathing Arraign ment of the Wreckers of Human Llve3 with a Local Application. Praise for Those Who Havo Sailed the Seas Unharmed. Rev. Dr. C. M. lUfllii, pastor ot the Klin Park Methodist Kploopal church, delivered a powerfully eloquent new year's sermon last night taking for his theme, "The Wrecits of a Twelve. Month" and choosing for his text this following sentence from the Klghth chapter of Revelation: "And the third Wirt of Hie Ships were destroyed." In beginning his remarks ho referred to the terrible list of the shlpwreclw on the sea during a year and compar ed this with the sea of life. "Ah, my friends,", said lie, "how many there are who set nail on the sea of life lnst January full of hopes bin who were caught in the tempest of temptation and swept on and on to destruction und after all, what Is the loss of ii craft or a cargo compared with the loss of character and honor. "I remember one year when the City of Washington, splendid steamer that she was, was caught by a gale In mid ocean and torn to pieces but the pas sengers got Into the life-boats and were picked up later. A man down the street here was caught In the teeth of a tempest last October and went down to destruction because he yielded to temptation. QUALIFIED TO SPEAK. "I believe that I am qualified lo speak Intelligently of this sea of life because I havo journeyed over It for many years and have felt the pressures of the great winds thai blow across its bosom. I have heard the shrieks of those who have been engulfed under Its mad waves. I have seen the fires kindling the passions of men upon it until like craft of the sea they havo burned to the water's edge.' "I have noted the sandbars that have caused the wreck of many a' man's life and I have walked along their shores and seen the broken hulls cast up by the waves. 1 have seen the whirl pool of sin and I havo seen men bein-j: sucked slowly but surely down to des truction. I think It best to suggest, some of the reasons for this destruc tion on the sea of life. "We know that ships leak sometimes through small openings and that the water slowly but surely tills until sue sinks. So has it been with more than one life in this city of Scranton during the past year. Evil lias crept In through one or perhaps two Utile, openings and lias been followed by ap palling consequences. "Many wrecks are caused by over loading. Men who own ships put mote into them than they can carry with safety and when the tempest comes they sink. What of the man who al lows himself to carry burdens greater than God Intended he should bear and who goes down to the lowest depths when the high seas come. CARRY TOO MUCH CANVAS. "Many ships go down because they carry too much canvas and be come top heavy. How many men there are who are presumptions enough to think that they can cany any amount of sail with safety and who go jauntily through life until all at once they run Into a squall and over they go "Some wrecks are caused by lost reckoning. The ship loses her way and beats about her course,drlftiiig with this current and with that, until she Is cast , upon some sunken reef and ground to pieces on the rocks. There are so many , men who are drifting to and fro upon the sea of life without any fixed inten- I Hon. When I see them, I almost cry aloud and wish to God that they had set a star to guide themselves by, in- I stead of floating with the tide. I "There are countless wrecks caused ' by bad steering ammratus and bad nii-i-ii.ui.uir.iii,.. v,m mi.- ;,ic-,ii m.i in mi- 1 I ' ' 11 lw nui 10 v ,-Kwriiiini r.ttii run urnni-. i ...f-, MJ.J'.t. niun t'l.- ill ii, 1, . 1 ... ,ii-i ..111 that it be under the complete control of the pilot, the human will which must be kept steady and clear. "1 wish also to speak a little about tho wreckers and tho rescuers who liuvu been at work during the year l'.'Ol, The wricker Is worse than the ghoul who strips the dead bodies of peoph- killed In railroad wrecks, These miserable wretchci tire angels compared with the wrecker who lures 11 ship onto a dan gerous coast by false lights and who plunders her after she litis struck, "Tlicro iiiv wivcUur.s In Scranton to ilny who art! wm'UliiB human lives ami v.ho woiihl Him; with Joy If tho churches veu destroyed nnd tho men of Ciod sent away.

Our So-Called Turkish Variety is Unknown in That Country. Plum Hip Hi-Ic-w of tho IVfi-k. "Is the Turkish bath known In !. Turkey?" This curious condition is not unfrequently put to travelers from J the east by people In this country. It j is true there Is not much resemblance i between the external appearance and management of the so-called Turkish bath in England and those of the 1 "haminam" In Turkey. 1 Outwardly the "hainiiiain" usually presents something ot the appearance of a domed sepulchral edifice. Of the little domes or cupolas which rose from Its roof that in the middle is the high est, and is set with many smnll win dows for the purpose of lighting tho bath. The massive .walls that form the sides of the "hainmaiu" have no win dows and it is thought that if tho walls wore pieicod tho outside air would penetrate Into tho interior und cause variations In the evenness of temperature which It is held desirable to maintain. The Interior thus often becomes very close, as ventilation is very slow, being only through the opening by passers to and fro of tho ((,ui,i(. doors of the passage which Everv . . .. .. ... .- , ,, leans to ine cooi enirauce nan. now and then the attendants burn frankincense In the interior of the bath with the idea of purlfynig the air. The great warm hall under the cen tral dome has generally three large niches, two on each side and one In front, as well as two little chambers. Each of these niches and chambers lias it roof In the shape of si half hemis phere, which contains n few tiny glass apertures, and which Is joined to the central dome. In all these niches and chambers there avc according to the I ,!. of th,. bn Ih tub. two or three mar- bio basins which nre ilxcd in the low part ot tho wall, each basin bolupr pro vided with hot and cold water taps, Hound these basins people sit on mar ble or wooden seats which are raised about live or six Inches above the lloor; and seated thereon they havo their bath. Tho little chambers can bo outraged for private use on application, The entrance hall Is square shaped, nnd lias trallcrles runniiiK itlons on each side in which nre many beds. Tho bath keeper Is always to be seen in his place close to tho door, smoking- his plpu or uarKullah, and saluting tho cus tomers who come nud go. in the mid dle of the entrance hall is n fountain, tho pure and cold water of which is eeaselessly plashing Into Its marble tank. In this water fresh fruits and bottles of lemon squash are kept cool in summer tlmo for the uso of custom ers. Near it n man may bo seen al ways busy making coffee on the char coal tiro, for most people are very ready to take' a tiny cup of coffeo at almost any time of tho day. Many of tho Turkish baths are built double, one portion being assigned for tho uso of ladles. In poiiiu places ladles go to tho """ " bath only ou certain days of tho week which nre consecrated to them. Cer- j tain baths, again, am used by thorn every day until 7 o'clock in tho evening, after which hour thoy nro made over for the use of men, The charges are very reasonable. A man can have a complete bath, and may stay on the premises of tho establishment ns long as lie pleases, by paying nbout Is. Sd, Ladles pay much less than this sum; their expenses can hardly bo much over sixpence, as they take all their own soaps, towels and clogs with them, What they pay Is really the "water fee" and n penny or two for tho attend ant. A new feature which has been Intro duced to the old Turkish bath Is tho cold water douche which It is becoming customary for the pi'tle to take after their hut bath. REV. J. H. 0DELL TO COME HERE CONGREGATION AT FULTON BE GBETS DEPABTUBE. On January 2 the Church Offlclnls Will Meot to Take Format Action on His Besignntion, and on Jnnu nry 6 the Presbytery at Syracuse Will Dissolve His Pastoral Bela tlons, Which Will Permit Him to Come to the Second Presbyterian Church of This City. The Observer, of Oswego Kalis, N. Y., printed last Friday, contains the fol lowing with reference to Rev. J. II. Odell, who has accepted a call extruded to him by tho Second 'Presbyterian church of this city: "The First Presbyterian church of Fulton Is again without ti pastor, Rev. .T. H. Odell having tendered his resig nation to accept an urgent call from the Second rresbytorlnn church of Scranton, Pn. Ills rending of his letter of resignation last Sunday morning was not a surprise, although It was regretted by tho members of his congregation In Fulton. It has been known that a com mittee had been here from Scranton to hear him preach and had returned home and reported very favorably to their church. The call given him was on unanimous one bv the Scranton people. "Mr. Odell has boon In Fulton about eight years and during that time ho has proved himself one of the most able pulpit orators In the state. He has shown himself to have tho courage of his convictions and upon public mat ters wherein tho morula and the wel fare of the people were at stake, he had fearlessly denounced wrong from pulpit and platform, while his sermons havo been broad and charitable as re lates to other denominations and be liefs. Ho is a student and among his best friends and advisors are the well selected books In his library. HORN IN ENGLAND. "Mr. Odell was born In England and after living In this country a few years ho concluded to make it the land of his adoption, and hence, took out natural ization papers which were granted this year, and for the first time he voted last fall as an American citizen. "The Presbyterian church of Fulton will scarcely find a man to fill Mr. Odell's place in the pulpit. The peo ple will hardly expect it. But they will wish him every success and happiness in his new Held of labor and love. "During his last year's labors in Ful ton, Mr. Odell had tho satisfaction of seeing the Presbyterian church remod eled In the interior, some seven thou sand dollars having been raised und ex pended for that purpose. "The people of Fulton will also great ly regret that so excellent and capable for good a woman as Mrs. Odell must leave. Her counsel and' advice In church matters have often been taken with profit, and she has greatly endeared herself to those who have formed her acquaintance. "A meeting of the church offlclnls is called for January 2, when It is ex pected that Mr. Odell's resignation will be accepted and that the presbytery will dissolve the relation of pastor and church at the session to lie held in Syrnc'use, January 6. "The church to which Sir. Odell goes is one of the largest In that state, num bering about J0O members. Mr. Odell's letter of resignation follows: LETTER OF RESIGNATION.
