At S o'clock standing room only was
available. The supper provided wns up
to tho usual standard maintained by
the ladles of the church.
The evening session was presided
over by Hugh A. Jones, who made n
short address. The speakers of tho
evening were George W. Bowen, of
North Seranton, and Ilev. D, P. Jones,
of West Scrnnton. The vocal numbers
were acceptably rendered by Thomas
Abrams, Mrs. Fannie J. Evans, Mrs.
Frank Urnndago and John V. Jones.
Mr. Bowen, who Is well-known ns a
writer of verso, made his initial public
address on tho subject of "The Kymry
of the Past," Ho dwelt upon the
Kymry of the past. He traced tlio
origin of the Cymric race back to the
year 1815 U, C, when, It Is assumed,
tho Urythonlc tribes emigrated from
the banks of tho Danube, invaded and
subdued the Inhabitants of Britain.
The Brython was skilled In the manu
facture of iron and tin, and excelled In
music and the arts. He also traced tho
origin of tho eisteddfod back three
thousand years, when a trio of AVclsh
poets formulated a code of laws for the
governing of tho bards of the Isle of
Britain.
In tlio world of literature, he said, the
Welsh poets have achieved everlasting
renown, and In the field of philosophy
Welsh scholars have attained high
clacc.
In refuting tho statements made by
some to tho effect that the Welsh lan
guage is dying out, Mr. Bowen said it
has survived tlio vicissitudes of three
thousand years, and Is spoken today
by a million and a half of people; it is
taught in the public schools of Wales,
and in the universities of j England,
Scotland and Wales, and Is tho living
language of our eisteddfod, and will
live as long as the eisteddfod lives.
Ttev. D. P. Jones, pastor of tlio
church, delivered a. timely and thought
ful address on tho subject of "The
Model Citizen," a topic which implies
character, which gives an Idea and a
meaning to everything that God hath
brought into existence in nil of His
doings. Among other things, he said:
In eommeree, politics and eien In our rcllslon,
we need more men and women of Iliblo spirit.
We have to take into our consideration, that
soeiety and the government, arc made tip of in
dividuals, and that every citizen has a force that
bears upon tiic lution in some way or another.
Therefore, the man that loves home, kociety, na
tion and humanity at large, he should be a good
citizen in all respects.
Why Is it that we have so many nidi characters
as Ceorgo Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Jamr.i
A. fi.trticld, William MuKlnley and others, that
ale u.s immortal spirits among us in the world
today? It Is because they were men of Knowl
edge, and men of Christ ia'n spirit. Men that
bad in their minds and in their hearts the wel
faic of home, of society, of nition, and of the
advancement of the church of Christ which con
tains the power of Cod, in human form, for the
Mlvation of all nations.
The time will conic when society, state and
government will have to know the power and the
overcoming influence n a good liar.ic.tir. Every
power on earth shall subdue itself before the
great king of character. Wealth and honor shall
be at the pleasure of character to do the will of
Cod among the people. The Joseph of good eh ir
aeler will have, his fieedom from the prison; and
shall be the governor of humanity.
Knowing that, our labor is not in va'n, to
purify ourselves, our homes, our societies, our
cities, stale and government. Let us bo stead
fast and immovable from the path that leads m

gen. THE STRIKES
WE HAVE HAD
Concluded from I'nge .1.
building his homo through the building
nnd loan association, should be com
pelled to pay a man $3 a day who was
not entitled to more than $1.50.
"When tho agent asked what to do
If these Incompetent men would organ
ize themselves, I told him, if I remem
ber lightly, that If a man wanted In
competent labor, let him go nhead and
hire It. I would say to worklngmcn not
to be afraid to demand whnt Is just.
If you've exhausted every other means
to obtain your just demands, then
strike and strike like men, and stick to
your leaders like men. Stand un In
your unions mid speak out, and demand
your right of free speech.
IS MISINTERPRETED.
"I know that what I say will be mis
understood and misinterpreted," con
tinued tho bishop. "This is nn unfor
tunate part of the present street car
strike. Only two weeks ago, in Car
penters' hall, a man misrepresented me,
I am told, with reference to the silk
strike. Some say my desire to settle
tho street car strike is founded on the
fact that I hold bonds or stock in tho
company. I do not own a bond or stock
or mortgage of any kind. I wanted to
see the strike settled, as all good
citizens did. I wanted to find out
the truth about the strikers' union. I
was told that there were men who could
not stand up In tJic union and bo heard.
I told these it was their right to be
beard, and to demand It. I found that
there were many in this way, and I
asked them to bring me a list. I tried
to bring together the insurgents and
stalwarts, as they were called, to llnd
out the truth. Some came; others
didn't.
"I don't want to misjudge anybody,
and I believe If the executive commit
tee was in town that Sunday they
would be present. I was told, but don't
know how much truth there is in it,
that someone interested in politics got
them to leave town. I told them that
we should settle this strike; that it was
not a question of union or no union.
President Clarke, himself, told mo he
recognized the union as a fart. The
question of wages, either, did not come
up until after it was discovered that it
was a mistake in the first placo to
strike.
RIGHTS OF THE GIRLS.
"I told them of the rights of the girls,
the poor, girls, who were walking after
their hard day's work, some of .them
reaching homo sick In body nnd sore In
heart. I heard that certain of tho men
got money and were living In stylo,
while others were In want. These
were the things that won my sympathy
from thom.
"When Mr. Clarke came to see me, I
told him I believed that tho men de
served twenty cents an hour; that it
required skill to run the cars over our
streets. His reply was that the men in
Philadelphia or Wilkes-Barre were not
receiving this rate. If men would not
'knock down,' they would probably in
time get more wages. These stories of
dishonesty I have heard from both
sides."
