NOW PASTOR OF SECOND PRES
BYTERIAN CHURCH.
Servicos Held Last Night in Con
nection with the Event Brilliant
Sermon of Rov. Owen Davies Otlell,
Brother of tho PnBtor Charge to
the Pastor by Rov. James McLeod,
D. D., and to tho Peoplo by Rev.
C. E. Robinson, D. D., the Former
Pastor.
Rev. Joseph Henry Odell wart last
night formally Installed us pastor of
the Second Presbyterian church, In tho
presence of a congregation which near
ly filled the largo auditorium, despite
the great severity of the winter
weather which prevailed. Itev. Charles
Lee, of Carbondule, moderator of tho
M!j' .
LWhr-
$Vh-
"i.
REV. JOSEPH IIENIIY ODELL.
Lackawanna presbytery, presided at
the simple ceremony in which tho
mutual pledges of support from both
congregation nnd pastor were ox
changed. Prior lo the sermon of tho night tho
choir rendered a beautiful anthem
taken from Gounod's Redemption, nnd
the splendid mixed quartette, which is
heard weekly at the church, sang
"How Amiable Are Thy Tabernacles."
The sermon was preached by Itev.
Owen Davies Odell, of Dubuque, Iowa,
brother of the new pastor of tho Sec
ond church and a young man whose
career so far In the ministry has been
remai kable.
CALL TO INDIANAPOLIS.
He is only in his twenty-fifth year;
has been ordained but a twelvemonth,
nnd yet has recently received a call to
the pastorate of the leading Piesby
terlan chinch of Indianapolis, a place
carrying with it one of the highest sal
aries in the Presbyterian church in
this country. Though boyish in appear
ance and rather frail in ligme, this
young man is a pulpit orator of excep
tional brilliancy, and preached u ser
mon last night such as has boon sel
dom beard in this city. He has a voice
of such sonoious depth and extreme
flexibility as is seldom heard in either
an actor, clergyman or public speaker,
and coupled with this an eloquence
that never for a moment descends to
tho dead level of the commonplace.
His sermon teemed with epigrams and
was delivered with the aid of-but a
few notes.
Tho text chosen was Acts, 3:23: "Yo
are tho children of the prophets," and
In beginning his sermon Itev. Mr. Odell
said that tho Jews, who were thus re
ferred to, were self-willed, wayward,
and disobedient to the laws of Ood
when it was written. They talked of
their pride of ancestry rather than of
the ancestry of their piide.
"But what of us?" said he. "Of what
prophets are we the children? We are
tho offspring of an accumulation of
knowledge and of divine revelation
which has been carried down tlio
stream of time to tho present day. We
are children of no obscure parentage.
We, too, are tho children of the pro
phets, and shall the record of our lives
lenve no tracing upon the living tab
lets of our heaits to gleam by night
and day? '
"Who were the prophets? Men who
had an insight into the spiritual des
tiny of the race. God-given souls
named In the Blblo and out of the
Bible. Men nameless In the Bible and
nameless out of the Bible, Prophets of
the Jew and prophets of tho pulpit.
Men with a divine right to live and
with n divine right to live for. Such
is our ancestry. '
WHAT HAS DEVELOPED TJS.
"Ages have contributed to our malt
ing. Tho toil and suffering of count
less men nnd women contribute to our
being. Prayers uttered, sufferings en
dured and truths upheld have devel
oped a higher power to pray and a
nobler capacity to endure. Wo aro
children of a spiritual host who fought
the good fight, finished the course nnd
kept the faith. Perhaps they aro
hovering over us In a great cloud to
night watching us, Let us hope they
uro satlslled,
"AVe Inherit fiom our ancestors that
conception of life which caused the
true prophets to declare that tho past
was God's past; that the universe is
God's universe, and that tho futuio Is
God's future,
"Wo Inherit tho sublime characteris
tics that gave birth to this conception.
Wo Inherit tho high qMlltles of faith
and fervor and of passion and per
sistency that dominated these great
men of God, Some misguided
souls there aro who mistake fever for
fervor, and who think that bolsterous
ness js a synonym for earnestness,
They forget that fiery words do not
always Imply molten thought,
"For nil souls there are but two
ways, the way of chance und the way
of choice, Tho way of chance Is go
ing after the will-o'-the-wisp, the way
that leads to doubt and despair, Tlio
way of choice Is the knowledge of
what one lias to do and the doing of
It
"It Is well for us that we are the
children of these prnphetlo souls with
their great sacrifices and grand con
ceptions of life those men whose su
premo aim was to tell of tho coming
of tho Messiah, Let us follow them.
Let us not provo unworthy of our high
relationship and grand ancestors, who
are, mayhap, watching us tonight. As
j 011 look back over their lives, resolve
In your hearts lo prove not unworthy
of them and should your pride be
checked, the sons of the prophets
shall becomo the prophets."

mony. Rev. Mr. Odell pledged himself
lo llvo an earnest Christian life and
to devolo himself entirely lo tho spirit
ual care of his Hock, while the mem
bers of the congregation, with uplifted
hands, pledged themselves to uphold
Ills hands In all things tending to
ward the enlarging of Christ's king
dom on earth.
Rev, Dr. Isaac! J, Lansing, pastor of
tho Green Rldgo Presbyterian church,
offered an eloquent prayer nnd then
the address to the pastor was mtulo
by IteV. Dr. James McLeod, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church, ' who
ppolte In part ns follows:
"Of the many duties that devolve
upon a Clnistlnn minister, permit me
to call your nttentlon to two or three.
The first lias regard to personal piety
nnd to downright, sincerity. This lies
lit the foundation of a minister's ex
cellence and usually It lies at the
foundation of a minister's usofulnci's
and success. A man who solemnly
pledges himself to preach or to teach
doctrines which he does not believe
Is not sincere and sincerity Is so close
ly allied to personal piety that they
cannot bu sepurnted. An able man
may mako ti strong argument In fa
vor of Chiistlunlty; a brilliant man
may make an attractive argument,
but a godly nian will make tlio best
and most convincing argument.
"The pulpit is tho minister's throne.
In tho pulpit ho Is pre-eminently
Christ's ambassador, when ho holds
out lo slnnej's the scepter of mercy
nnd I'cseeehos them to be reconciled
unto God, The pulpit of today, per
haps more than at any other period
In the history of the church, needs
great gifts as well ns great grace, and
there Is a tendency in some quarters
to make the gifts more prominent
tlinn the grace.
WHY HE WAS CALLED.
"You have boon called lo this pul
pit to break tho bread of life and to
pour out tho water of life and offer
them unto this people for their spirit
ual nourishment und growth In grace.
"Make your soimons as thoughtful,
as billlinnt and as attractive as possi
ble and throw all your heart and soul
Into them: this Is your privilege and
this is your duty. 1 think you will
agree with me when I say that Christ's
ministers should see to it that their
gospel arrows should bo not only well
polished, well pointed and well aimed,
but also well barbed; for it Is only
the well-barbed arrow that will stick
and at tho &anie time be sharp In the
heart of tho King's enemies.
"In Leaving the gospel web we can
not make It of too fine a texture nor
is it possible for anyone to mako it ap
pear as precious and as attractive as
ils claims deserve. See to It that the
mosil conspicuous llower In tills pul
pit will be tho Itose of Sharon; and
take good caie that running through
tlu warp and woof of all your ser
mons there will bo plainly visible that
scarlet thread which is at once the di
vine token and tho divine pledge that
the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses
from all sin.
"I clmt ge thee before God and the
Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge
the quick and tho dead at Ills ap
pearing; preach the word, be Instant
In season, out of seaton; reprove, re
buke, exhort with all long sulfering
and doctrine. 'Take heed unto thyself
and unto the doctrine; continue in
them; for in doing this thou shalt both
i-nvo thyself and them that hear thee.'
1 commend you to God and to the
word of His Grace, which is able to
build Jon up and to give you an in
heritance among them that are sanc
tified." Rev. Dr. Charles E. Robinson, the
pastor whom Rev. Mr. Odell succeeds,
and who served the church for four
teen jc-.rs, came on hero from Now
Y01 k city especially lo be present at
last night's service and delivered the
charge to tlie peoplo.

work taken up by a young ninu of
S'ueh deep earnestness and lirm Clnis

ful iclr.llons which always existed be

and foil sure that they will exist be

well. Ho made a few suggestions re
garding tho manner in which Rev. Mr.
Odell should be received when mak

to nt the prayer meeting.
"Give him the light of way through
your s-ouls," said he, "Let but a

sulllcient to cause you lo open them

lie urged tho congregation not to
muzsslo thu new pastor but to allow
him to preach tho truth as God gives
It to him. Tho habit of picking tho
sermon to pieces nt tho Sunday dinner
table was nlso referred to and tho In

warned against It.

About Fifteen Inches of What Is
Sometimes Referred to as the Beau

Trolley Roads Tied at Noon.
Steam Roads Managed to Keep
Open, but Ran Trains with Great
Difficulty More Snow and Falling
Temperature Today.
Surely there are few cities In the
United States which have been so
thoroughly wenthcr-bcuten as has
Scranton during the past month. What
with tho sleet storm of it week ago last
Friday, tho rains and a mighty Hood
which did thousands of dollars' worth
of damage and the present snow storm,
tho heaviest of this seitpon. nnd many
preceding winters, It would seem that
the limit wan reached.
Tho weather hud been so pleasant for
the first two days of the week that the
majority of people began to think the
season of balmy spring was hero to
stay, but "wild winter's blasts" came
blow lug this way yesterday morning
and nt noon tho city was storm-bound.
At C o'clock In the evening It was fast
lu the clutches of the snow king.
According to the veracious Mr.
Clarke, local weather observer, the
storm cumo this way from the south,

done damage In this pait of the coun
try during tho past winter. It origin
ated in the southern Mississippi val

of Virginia. Up the coast It blew and
struck New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
New York early yesterday morning. In
soino places It rained, but in tho ma
jority of places It snowed, and snowed
hnrd. One of the latter places was
Scranton.
IT BEGAN EARLY.
Tho snow began here precisely nt
twelve minutes after 0 o'clock yester
day morning, according to the weather
bureau records. When It started 11 was
Just a fine, misty sort of 11 snow, but
it kept growing in volume until by S
o'clock It hud developed Into real, good
ok'-l'ashloned snow.
At S o'clock last night, when tho
weather btneaii took the last measure
ment, the, depth of the snow was 11.4
Inches. At midnight it was nearly fif
teen Inches. The forecast for today is
more snow and falling thermometer.
The temperature yesterday was al
most stationary around the twenty-five
mark.
Early in tho afternoon street car
trafllc was suspended entirely except
on the Peteisburg line, which was kept
open for a considerable length of time.
The electric sweepers were out on all
the lines, but the snow kept coming
down so fast that the tracks were
again blocked a half-hour after they
had passed. The few cars that started
out after 2 o'clock had a hard time of
It. It took one cur sent out to Green
Ridge over ten minutes to travel the
one block on North Washington ave
nue, between Linden and Mulbcri y
streets, and the new finally gave up in
disgust and turned back.
WALKING WAS DIFFICULT.
Walking In nonily every pait of the
city except in the central part, where
the walks were kept fairly clean, was
an exceedingly difficult undertaking.
Tlio snow was knee deep in many
places, nnd got into rubbers and even
Into the tops of rubber boots.
In the central part of the city there
wero snow piles four and live feet deep
on the street in many places where the
walks hud been cleaned and the tracks
swept by tho electric sweeper. The re
cent order sent out by Director of Pub
lic Works Roche, regarding tho clean
ing of gutters, was generally obeyed in
the central city, and numbers of men
could bo seen shoveling them out In
the midst of the blinding snow.
Trafllc on all the railroads entering
the city was not interfered with until
last night, when tho snow drifts at
some places measured several feet in
depth, The operating companies had
just nbout recovered from tho effects
of the washouts caused by tho Hoods
when the storm set in and knocked
their running schedules out again.
Superintendent Hlxson, of the bridges
and buildings department of the Lack
awanna railroad, had a largo force of
men at work all day yesterday clear
ing the tracks 'around tho passenger
station, and In relieving the loofs of
tlie building of their burden. Slmilnr
work was performed at tho Delaware
and Hudson and Central Rnllroad of
New Jersey stations, but their work
aided but little In relieving tlie condi
tions wrought by tho elements.
At 1,30 this morning the steam roads
wero all reported open, but tho snow
was still falling and the wind blowing,
and there was danger of bloekudes be
fore daylight. Tho Lackawanna man
aged to keep tho tracks over tho Pocono
well cleared with tho aid of four pow
erful snow plows, but on the Morris
and Essex division, whero tho storm
was especially sovere, tralllo was con
siderably delayed,
NOT COMPLETELY BLOCKED.

A distressing accident oceuned at the

utes before S o'clock last night.
The cause of the accident Is some
what of a mystery. The boy was em
