PRESIDENT'S BANQUET.
Head of Boys' Industrial Association
and Other Officers Dined Last
Night at the Parish House.
The election of .Tames McQann as
president of the Hoys' Industrial asso
ciation was celebrated last night with
a banquet served In St. Luke's parish
house to the forty-four other ofllcers of
the association.
' President McGann, who Is a brlrjht,
manly, flno-looklng chap about 14 years
old, occupied the place of honor at the
centre of the main table, and Robert
Morton, the vice-president, ,was at his
right elbow. Other officers In attend
ance were the chief .lustlce, secretaries
of state, treasury, interior, gymnasium
and public works; the four justices of
the peace, librarian and the senators
and representatives.
The ages of the boys filling these
ofllces In the union republic into which
the association has been formed, range
from 12 to 16 years, and there are Pio
testants, Roman Catholics and Hebrews
among them. Their salaries range from
four cents a night up to the salary of
the president, vho receives ten cents a
night.
A number of grown-ups, who are In
terested In the work being accomplished
by the association, under the capable
direction of Mr. Barnes, were present,
also, and manifested hearty approval of
the programme rendered at the con
clusion of the banquet, which wns
served by a corps of young ladles, who
volunteered their service.
President McGann gave a really clever
talk on "The Ladles," and quotations
were given bv Vice-President Robert
Morton and Chief Justice James Reap.
The Boys Industrial association is
growing at such a rapid rate that it
has now almost outgrown its present
home In the basement of the parish
house. There are now upwards of 445
active members, the very large major
ity of them being boys who would un
questionably spend the time they are
in tho association rooms on the street,
if no association existed. They are
taught carpentry, cobbling, printing
and cane-seating, and are given every
opportunity for recreation during cer
tain hours set apart for recreation pur
poses. ROBERT REEVES ARRESTED.
Was Charged "by J. A. Mears with
Violating City Ordinance.
Robert Reeves, general superintend
ent of the Scranton Gas and Water
company, purchased a new automobile
recently and he started in the machine
for a trial spin on Sunday afternoon.
He made a test of its-speed on North
Washington avenue, just as Joseph A.
Mears was coming along driving one
of his spirited teams, of horses.
The animals became frightened at
the horseless vehicle and started to run.
Mr. Clears had great difficulty In keep
ing them under his control, and he de
termined yesterday that there should
be no repetition of the occurrence. He
accordingly went before Magistrate
Howe and swore out n warrant for Mr.
Reeves' arrest, charging him with run
ning his automobile faster than the
limit fixed by ordinance, eight miles
an hour.
Mr. Reeves was arrested, but before
the case came to a hearing it was set
tled by his agreeing to pay the costs.

Sheriff Schadt Buys the Hotel Irv
ing Property.
Sheriff Charles H. Schadt yesterday
purchased Hotel Irving and last night
had it reopened for business. Ho pro
poses to improve it in every way neces
sary to make it a first-class hostelry,
and give Its management his personal
supervision.
The hotel was under the hammer,
and would bo sold at sheriff's sale, had
not tho deal ot yesterday been con
summated. George Klnback was the
owner.
' The hotel has not been a success for
various resons, but under the manage
ment of Its now owner, who has been
so successful In other lines of business,
It Is safe to predict that it will now
bo made profitable.

CONFERENCE
HAS OPENED
GREAT THRONO IN JACKSON
STREET BAPTIST CHURCH1.
Sessions Are Vnder the Auspices ot
the Abington Association and the
Baptist Ministers' Association At
Last Night's Meeting Addresses
Were Delivered by Rev. Henry J,
Whalen, D. D., of Carbondale; Rev.
E. E. Chivers, D. D., of New York;
Rev, Curtis E. Law, of Baltimore.
The opening session of the twentieth
century conference of the Baptists of
Northeastern Pennsylvania was held In
the JacltBOrt Street Baptist church.West
Scranton, last evening, and was attend
ed by a representative audience from
the various churches, which taxed the
seating capacity of tho big auditorium.
The plan and scope of these meet
ings, which will continue until Thurs
day night, is similar to that of tho
national anniversaries. They are being
held under tho combined auspices of
the Abington association and the min
isters' conference of this, city. The
purpose is to review the development
of the denomination during the last
century, to study the facts and forces,
the status and trends of the present,
and to consider the outlook for the
future.
The desire is also to set forth the
principles illustrated in the Baptist de
nominational life, to emphasize educa
tional and missionary expansion, and
to study the forces dominant in tho
church work, and to note the demands
of the present of the Ametican Baptist
societies.
Richard Nlcholls presided, and music
was furnished by an augmented choir
and orchestra, under the dliectlon of
Prof. Lewis Davis. The address of .wel
come was delivered by Rev. H. J. Wha
len, D. D., of Carbondale, and proved
to be of much local historical interest.
Rev. E. E. Chivers, D. D., of New
York, spoke on "The Relation of a
Young Christian to His Denomination,"
and Rev. Curtis E? Law, of Baltimore,
gave an address on the subject of "Au
thoritative Ambassadorship." A large
number of visiting clergymen were In
attendance, many of whom are being
entertained at the homes of church
members.
Dr. Whalen's address was as follows:
DR. WII.VLbYS ADDRESS.
One bundled ycais ago, this densely populiled
alley, with its unequalled Industrie, a-,t "oin
meicial interests, and thousands oi delightful
homes was almost an unbroken wilderness The
few and scatteied settlers made theh way cur
our lolty mountains, and through oui mrrov al
leys, by lines of blazed trees or the bridle paths.
The hardships of pioneir life were enduud .is
heroically here, as anywhere in the land, mid In
the hlstorv of the pioneers, wo lead, with grati
tude to Almighty Cod, the honored names of our
BaptUt antecedents, the men and women who
founded tho Abington asaocution, who-e wil'ouie
I am to express to our Baptist hoits tonight.
,Into what ib now Abington township, catnc In
tho year 1800, William Clark, his wife dud son
Jeremiah. They were good New England stock,
apd their names weic written down In the thurch
roll of the Baptist church at I'laintleld, Con
necticut. A J ear later came the family of To-ia-than
Dean, from Exeter, Rhode Island, a family
to whom the sacied piinclplrs tor which Ruer
Williams suffered were ely de.ii. The following
jear scural other Baptist fimllles, among tli-in
the family of Itei. John Miller, moied into the
towmhip, and public wor-ililp h.h r-tahlMi-d.

Thc-.e three churclus occupied the Mrtlces of n

ct they knew and loved one another, and on tho
day following Clnlstinis In 1P0", delegates fiom
these churchia, whose combined membership num
bered but one hundred and forty, met in the log
cabin of Rev. John Mlllei, and there organized
the Abington llaptUt iiisodition, That (.oil
honors such faith a theirs is shown In the de
lightful progicsfi of our Baptist cause. In tho

'AT ALL DRUGGISTS.
REV. HENRY J. WHALES'. D. D.
Ing houxe, these true hrtttod men and women
recognitcd the cUlms of the bleated cause of
missions. In 1823, the cause ot ministerial edu
cation was taken tip, and these self-educated and
aelf-denylng ministers urged upon their strug
gling people the duty of raising up an educated
ministry, and a suitable offering for the work
was taken and sent to our Institution at Hamil
ton, S. Y.
The Attitude ot our association to the secre
taries of our socletl j was expressed 'in the fol
lowing resolution at Hie wislon of 1M4I "Re
solved, That the association entertain grateful
feelings for the attendance at our session, of our
venerable father In the Bible cause, Itev. Archi
bald Maclay, D. D., and we earnestly and iffec
tlonatcly urge the American and Foreign" Blblo
society to send an annual delegation to our as
soclatlon." The following jear It heartily endorsed by res
olution the Christian Chronicle "as a chinnol
of valuable Information, and would recommend
that every member of our churches take, pay for
and read It."
AN HONORABLE RECORD.
In all questions of moral reform our asso
ciation has an honorable record i .temperance and
sntl-slavery were tho recorded sentiments from
the earliest joara; It dared to pronouuee against
some forms of amusement which In our day arc
the bane of the churches. When about 1K10 untl
Mormonliu swept over the churches of this part
of the stale and threatened to paralyze the en
ergies of the church, the old Abington grappled
with the evil to the very death, and the churches
were purified and strengthened In the conflict.
hueh briefly Is the history, and our conse
quent heritages and because of this goodly herit
age, and on honest effort on our pait to mitntatn
Its honor unsullied, we have undertaken to net
as host, to yon, the representatives of our larger
denominational life, and to you our neighboring
brethren, who have done jour part nobly for the
building up of (ho beloved denomination, whose
fellowship an'd loyalty to truth, make It a do
onmlnatlon apart frohi all others.
The honor that la to be ours In these days
Is a worthy fruitage frojn the tolls and sacrifices
of those Irto whose labors we have entered, Wo
arc thankful to leccivc ns our guests, the rcprc
cntitlvea of our denominational forces. To wel
come the representatives of our foreign mission
work, Is to welcome those who wear the mintcls
of Corey, Judson, lloirdman, Dean, Rice, I'cck,
Bennett, Sharp, Murdock and Samuel Duncan
names not only held In honor here, but must
lie familiar and loved names about the throne
of the .Most High. Lot our hearts and our hands
go out heartily to these men, who are called to
direct our work In Holds where two-thirds of the
hum in family dwell in almost unbroken night.
Our home missionary secretaries conic wearing
tho mantels of Jonathan doing. Hill, Backus,
Bishop and Cutting, and these mantels arc all
writ over with that sublime ihotto, "North Amer
ica for Christ,"
Our educators come, and wo recognb-o them,
as those who have entered Into the work of Man
ning, Wjjland, Scars, Robinson, Anderson,
Dodge and Loomls. Among them Is a man who
needs no other mantel, than that wrought by his
own consecrated life of four-score years and more,
Henry O. Weston, the honored president whose
seminary has sent no heresy into our pulpits to
destroy the faith of the saints. The mantel of
Benjamin Griffiths is a sufficient passport tor the
representatives of our Publication society, to our
Inmost hearts, for it has been given to but few
men to wiitc their names more indcllibly upon
the pages of our denominational history.
But generals were nothing without the lanks,
and so to each and every Baptist brother and
sisters of the ranks, as well as to the great lead
ers, I extend the heartiest Christian welcome of
the Abington association, the friendship of this
citv's pledged corps of Baptist pastor-, and the
hospitality of a Baptist membership of three
thousand of the noblest men and women whom
God has in this city.
DR. CHIVERS' TALK.
When Dr. Chivers was introduced by
Chairman Nlcholls, it was with a feel
ing of pride, he said, that he could
trace his ancestry back to Welsh orig
in, and felt himself quite at home In a
West Scranton audience. Without
dwelling very lengthily on that feature,
however, the speaker pioceeded with
his subject.
He dwelt upon the relation ot a young
Christian to his denomination, and
spoke of religion in Its most essential
forms, aerring that It Is more than a
creep, a ritual or a rapture! it Is above
all else, he said, a life sustained and
controlled by the will of God.
Religion Is an Intensely personal mat
ter, and as such demands an Inward
and personal culture. It must be nursed
by the soul's Individual communion
with Go,d. Life to be lived truly finds
secret sources of, its power In fellowship
with God.
Jesus Christ was the perfect seivant
of God, and there must be an inward
and personal culture of Christian life
in the Christian of today to be likened
unto him. Denominations ate a fact
and a factor in church work, and the
organic unity of Christian chutches
would not put an end to all evils.
Many truths have been rescued from
oblivion, and by and bye will be n
power in the chureh universal. If the
teachings of the Baptist, Methodist or
Presbyterian denominations stand for
nothing, we should give up, but I be
lieve they do stand for something, and
are a power for good.
CLEARLY DEFINED VIEWS.
The young Christian should have
clearly defined views of the denomina
tion for which he stands. His beliefs
ought to be the outcome of thought
and should be guided by God. This is
not an age of strong conviction, the air
Is bristling with Interrogation points.
There Is a great difference between
opinions and beliefs.
Theio Is too much opinion and not
enough belief In the' world today. Be
lief that will hold Is needed. A re
vival of sttong conviction is also need
ed, nnd It Is Incumbent upon the young
Clulfitlan to obtain clearly defined
views of the truth.
The young Chiistian ought to pro
claim tho views he holds and has a
right to proclaim the truth as It Is
taught him. Much mischief Is done by
Injudicious advocacy of the truth, but
the young Chtistlan must bo Ioynl to
Christian principles and embody them
In every dny life.
Ho must apply these principles to
Christian life and nativity, for the tree
Is known by Us fruits. The church
thnt hnH the God that answers by tire
is tho church of tho twentieth century.
Rev. Curtis E. Law, of Baltimore,
spoke mptead of Rev, J. H. Haslam, A.
M of Wllllamsport, who 'was on tho
programme. He took for his subject
the theme "Authoritative Ambassador
ship, or "The New Emphasis of Old
Truths." He believes that the first
thing necessary In the twentieth cen
tury movement is to magnify personal
holiness among young people, as the
most unanswerable argument of Chris
tianity Is a redeemed man.
'lit we expect otheis to accept our
belief we must be believeis ourselves,
as unrighteous living Is the constant
discount of righteousness. Mote zeal Is
needed, and we also need to clarify
personal faith,
"Wo should take the key of promise
and open the doubtful castle, but we
must ulso apply our present equipment
to the problems now before us. The
power wrapped up In the young Chiis
tian of today s God-given, and we use
these great riches rightfully und to the
best ends."
The second session of the conference
will be held ut the Penn Avenue Bap
tist church, beginning at 0.30 o'clock
this morning, Addresses will be deliv
ered by Rev. P. L. Jones, D. D., und
Miss V. M, Schuyler, of Philadelphia;
Rev. LeRoy Stephens, D, D., and Rev,
Elkanuh Hulley, Ph. D.
The afternopn session will bo held In
the Green Ridge Buptlst church, and
the evening session In the North Main
Avenue Buptlst chuich,
