nIS MEMORY HALLOWED.

Though dead, he yet lives In the
hearts of those who knew him. asso-
ciated with and loved him, the memory
of Daniel Matthias will ever be treas
ured. Last evening a memorial SER
vice was conducted in the Tabernacle
Congregational church, and the audi
torium was insufficient in capacity t"
properly seat all who attended. The
service was carefully arranged and was
as carefully carried out.
The affair was in charge of joint
committee representing the Taber-
nacle and Plymouth Congregational
churches, and was q striking tcstimon-
ial of the respect with which the de-
ceased was held during his earthly
career. The several addresses made by
men who had known him for years in
every walk of life We're tributes of love
and deepest friendship. Each spoke Of
the great pleasure the deceased took in
music and his efforts to have 1t prop
erly used in church work. They spoke
of his Christian character and his
beautiful home life. Many an audible
"amen" was heard from different parts
of the audience during these addresses,
indicating a response of feeling.
NGN. -. L. JONES, DdSlOE VI tlie
Tabernacle Congregational church, was
chairman. Mrs. d. B. Thomas acted
as accompanist. Addresses were made
by \. r. Eynon, James w. Reese,
Henry p. Davies, w. G. Thomas and
Samuel B. Rogers. James B. Thomas,
of North Scranton, was to have spok-
err but was unavoidably detained at
home. a set of resolutions was pre-
sented by w. G.. Thomas in behalf of
the committee of arrangements. These
resolutions dealt with Mr.. Matthias
life as man at home and away, his
church work and his musical efforts.
The resolutions were heartily endorsed
by a standing vote.
The combined chors of the two
churches under the direction of Choris-
tec Hugh Jones, sang several selec-
tions. The Musical Culture class, OF
the Plymouth church, which was the
pride Of Mr.. Matthias later efforts in
the musical line, also took part The
committee of arrangements for last
evenings service comprised II. j. Will
li&mS, chairman: James w. Reese and
w. G.. Thomas, of the Tabernacle
church, and Il. +. Evans. secretary;
