Reception of the Children of Mary.

Sunday evening at st. AIMS Church,
Drifton, the ceremony of the reception
of the Children of Mary took place.
For some months past this society of
children has been carried on under the
supervision of Sister Josephene and as
sistants, and their formal reception and
admission into the society took place.
The announcement at the two masses
by Rev. Father Farrell that the ceremony
would take place at 7.30 p. m. brought
many people to the church, outside of
its regular attendants, to witness the
solemn and grand ceremony.
Precisely at 7.30 the strains of the
organ struck up sacred march, and the
children came filing in and took their
seats in the body of the church, in the
space provided for them, and later Rev.
Father Farrell, accompanied by the altar
boys, knelt in front of the altar and
after short prayer blessed the badges
and medals about to be bestowed on the
young children. At its close the boys
to the number of SO took their place in
front of the railing, while Master Andrew
Higgins, in their behalf, answered the
responses required of them. At the
close of the responses the Rev. Father
proceeded to invest each member with
the badge and at the same time reciting
prayers suitable to the occasion.
At the close of the ceremony for the
boys, the young girls came next to the
railing to the number of So. Miss Katie
McTague, of Drifton, read the initiatory
questions. which were answered in uni
son by the whole class. At the close of
this part of the ceremony Rev. Father
Farrell again began the investing of each
with medal and ribbon and continued
until all had been gone through
The next part of the ceremony was the
blessing the statues of the Blessed Vir-
gin and st. Joseph, which were placed in
position, one at each side of the altar.
Miss Mary Dougherty presided at the
organ, and Miss Mary Davis made the
crownation speech and placed the crown
on the head Of the Blessed Virgin. Mas
ter John Mcdonald done the same for
the statue of st. Joseph, except that in
stead of the crowning ceremony a lily
was placed in the hand of st. Joseph.
AT the close of the reception the Rev.
Father Farrell assembled the altar, and
spoke upon the objects of the Society of
the Children of Mary and their relations
to the church. His sermon was well
rendered. and was spoken of by many
who were present as being the most in
structive ever delivered in st. AIMS
Church.
The reception of the children into the
Society of the Children of Mary, and
the placing of the two statues in the
church reflects great credit on the Sisters
in charge of st. AIMS schools.

a mercantile sense of the word. Judge
Connolly, of Lackawanna county, decid-
ed that the company is dealer, and 1t
will take the case to the Supreme Court.
The plea is that the company merely
furnishes" powder to employees. The
case will be watched with great interest
by the operators of the whole anthracite

The latest move in the way of trusts is
that of the constables of the State.
Those of Luzerne county ment at Wilkes
Barre on Monday and effected an organ
ization. Their object is to have Legisla-
ton favorable to their interest brought
forward at the next session of the Legis.
ture and to prevent, if possible, deputy
constables, coal and iron police and special
police doing the work assigned to con.
stables.
We know that their duties are such,
that they run great risk of ever getting
paid for three-fourths of what they do
hence this needed Legislation.

MISSION SAN JOSE.
The mission "San Jose de
Aguayo," or as it is usually
known now as the Second Mis-
sion, stands on the west bank of
the river five miles below the city.
1t was founded in 1870 and COM
pleted in 1771. The elegant de-
sign and exquisite finish of this
mission has been the theme of
comment on the part of everyone
who ever saw it.
1t was this building that was
declared by an eminent artist the
finest piece Of architecture in
America. Senior Huica, one of
the most celebrated artists of his
day, was commissioned by the
King of Spain to do the orna-
mental work and spent several
years decorating it with trescoes
and statues. 1t has suffered also
by the hands of the tourists.
MISSION SAG JUAN CAPIsTRAN.
The remains Of this mission,

lied Indians. 1t is now little
better than a mass of ruins.
MISSION SAN FRANCISCO DE LA EsPADA
The ruins of this old mission are
one and half miles below San
Juan. 1t was founded in 1716.
It has a chapel OF quaint design

Soon nothing will remain but

CONTRIBUTED.

The Woman's work of the
Second Presbyterian Church OF
this city is carried on through the
agency of the three missionary
societies and the Ladies' League.
The Ladies' Missionary Society
meets on the third Tuesday of
every month. 1t has contribut-
ing membership of about sixty
ladies, and an average attendance
upon it's meetings of about TWEEN
ty.five. The contributions are to
the Women's Boards of Home
and Foreign Missions, in fulfill
ments of the Masters command,
eco we into all the world aud
preach the gospel" A carefully
prepared programme of exercises,
consisting of reading, recitations,
and short talks on home and
foreign missions, Christian con-
secration and reports from the
mission fields, is carried out at
each meeting and necessary bust
ness is transacted. Miss s. b.
Scott is the President of this
society. ga
The other missi onary societies
are the Young Ladies Circle, and
the Children's Band zach manned
by its own officers, and all work
ing together for the advancement
of Christ's Kingdom at home and
abroad.
On Sabbath evening. Novem-
Der 23d, the three societies united
in their annual meeting for prayer
and praise, and thank offering.
The President of the Ladies So
ciety presided and made a short
address. There were readings
and glad songs of praise. The
offerings were made by nearly all
the congregation, children as we'll
as older members, and were en-
closed in small envelopes along
with scripture texts expressive of
the feelings Of the givers. The
reading Of many Of these texts
by the pastor formed one of the
pleasantest and most profitable
parts of the service.
The Ladies' League includes in
its membership most of the ladies
in the church who have either
time or inclination for any duties
outside of home. 1t was organ
lied for the purpose Of carrying
on systematic Christian work in
our own community, visiting the
poor, and waste places of the city,
urging on the carelass and god
less an attendance on the Sabbath
services and trying to discover
the places where mission work is
most needed in our own city.
They also endeavor to aid their
pastor by visiting among the
church members and welcomi ng
strangers, and inviting them to
help with the Christian work.
These are some of the ways in
which the Christian women of
this church become "fellow help
ers to the truth" and gladden. the
heart of their Pastor by their
sympathy and hearty co-opera-
ton.

weighty that it requires two men

it, but though he was financially

members took the disease, and
they recovered. This is strong
statistical evidence in support Of
vaccination.

Dick started up and carefully
searched through the grass for
some that had fallen. Not plum
was there.
At last Dicks mother, who sat
at her sewing out of sight with

rustling, dropping sound, and
looking out, this is what she saw:
Dick was lettering about the
ground, muttering to himself /:

came the plums.

devour them. ,dqa92If
He got up then and repeated
the experiment. Again the plums
fell. Again Dick had a hearty
feast.
He was about to continue the
process, soliloquizing and falling,
when his mothers voice ex-

Dick obeyed the summons and
stood before his mother, a little
sheepish, but after all, he wasn't

voice was stern and grave.

ground?"

the plumsl" he added heroically.
"Will you tell me the difference
between pulling them and shaking
them down? Why didn't you pull
them?"
AS the tones grew deeper and
sadder, Dicks eyes filled and his
voice trembled as he said 81 was
afraid to pull them. You said God
could see me"
"And did my little boy think he
could cheat God? Did you think
God wouldn't know why you fell
against the tree? Now you must
confess this to your father and ask
him to forgive you; you must ask
God to forgive you, too, You
have acted a lie, and it is as much
sin to act lie as it is to tell one.
Fortunately there are still some
plums on the tree. Sit here now
and think over what / have said
till your papa comes"
Dicks father did forgive him,
but he punished him severely, as
he had threatened.
His heavenly Father also for
gave him, l doubt not, but he
punished him with a terrible
cramp collie from eating too many
plums.
The neighbors got hold of the
story and laughed about it as a
cute and smart trick; but Dick
had a double lesson which he new
er forgot.
