mony. Rev. Mr.. Odell pledged himself
to live an earnest Christian life and
to devote himself entirely to the spirit
ual care of his flock while the mem
bers of the congregation with uplifted
hands. pledged themselves to uphold
his hands in all things tending to-
ward the enlargng of Christ's king
dom on earth.
Rev. DR.. Isaac j. Lansing, pastor of
the Green Ridge Presbyterian church,
offered an eloquent prayer and then
the address to the pastor was mnde
by Rev. DR.. James Mcleod, pastor Of
the First Presbyterian church, who
spoke in part as follows:
"Of the many duties that devolve
upon u Christian minister, permit me
to call your attention to two or three.
The first has regard to personal plety
and to downright sincerity. This lies
at the foundation of a minister's eX-
celence and usually it lies at the
foundation of a minister's usefulness
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
~ allied to personal piety that they
cannot be separated An able man
may make ~ strong argument in fa-
vor of Christianity; q brilliant man
may make an attractive argument,
but godly man will make the best
and most convincing argument.
"'rhe pulpit IS the minister's throne.
In the pulpit he is pre- -eminently
Christ's ambassador, when he holds
out to sinners the scepter of mercy
and reseeches them to be reconciled
unto God. The pulpit of today, per-
haps mere than at any other period
in the history of the church, needs
great gifts as well as great grace, and
there is tendency in some quarters
to make the gifts more prominent
than the grace.

COMPOUND
The Great Banisher or Nervous
ness in All Its Forms.

Are you victim of melancholia. and
do YOU brood from day to day? Does
the shrek of the steam whistle, the
rattle of wheels, or the clangor of bells
cause you to start and shiver' If this
is your condition. be assured your case
is extremely critical.
1t is fitting that you should investi-
gate your condition at once. If you are
sleepless, depressed in spirits, If your
mental movements are slow, If you are
subject to terrifying hallucinations and
an aversion to food, we say with all
earnestness, beware OF insanity and
suicide.
The science of medicine has. thank
Heaven, furnished means for the BAN
ishment of all the troubles referred to.
Paine's Celery Compound is the great
restorer and builder of the weakened
and shattered nervous system. This
marvellous prescription of Professor
Edward E. Phelps, NJ. d.. LID. begins
It's work directly on the nerves by
bracing them up: it strengthens tissues
and muscles: it causes pure lfe-g giving
blood to flow freely to every part of the
body, carrying health, vigor, joy, and
happiness into each hour of life. Be
or reputation to commend them, they
simply aggravate existing troubles. Ask

Surely there are few cities in the
United States which have been so
thoroughly weather. beaten as has
Scranton during the past month. What
with the sleet storm of a week ago last
Friday, the rains and mighty flood
which did thousands of dollars worth
of damage and the present snow storm,
the heaviest of this season, and many
preceding winters, it would seem that
the limit was reached.
The weather had been so pleasant for
the first two days of the week that the
majority of people began to think the
stay. but wild winters blasts" came
blowing this way yesterday morning
and at noon the city was storm-bound.
AT o'clock in the evening it was fast
in the clutches of the snow king.
According TO the veracious Mr.
Clarke, local weather observer the
storm came this way from the south,
like all the other storms which have
done damage in this part of the coun-
try during the past winter. 1t origin
ated in the southern Mississippi val
ley on Tuesday morning and cut across
lots to the Atlantic coast, which 1t
struck some place near the lower end
of Virginia. Up the coast it blew and
struck New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
New York early yesterday morning. In
some places it raned, but in the ma
jority of places 1T showed, and showed
hard. one of the latter places was

WHY HE WAS CALLED.


"You have been called to this pull
pit TO break the bread of life and to
pour out the water of life and offer
them unto this people for their spirit
ual nourshment and growth in grace.
Make your sermons as thoughtful,
as brilliant and as attractive as possi-
BILE and throw all your heart and soul
into them: this is your privilege and
this is your duty. L think you will
agree with me when l say that Christ's
ministers should see to it that their
gospel arrows should be not only well
polished. we'll pointed and we'll aimed,
but also well barbed; for it is only
the well-barbed arrow that will stick
and at the same time be sharp in the
heart OF the Kings enemies.
"ln weaving the gospel web we cam
not make it of too fine texture nor
is it possible for anyone to make it ap-
pear as precious and as attractive as
its claims deserve. See to it that the
most conspicuous flower in this pull
pit will be the Rose of Sharon; and
take 5000 care that running through
the warp and woof of all your SER
mons there will be plainly visible that
scarlet thread which is at once the di-
viue token and the divine pledge that
the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses
from all sin.
Il charge thee before God and the
Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge
the quick and the dead at His APP
in season, out of season; reprove, re-
l,,,I- fFat tn,r
and doctrine. Take heed unto thyself
and unto the doctrine; continue in
them; for in doing this thou shalt both
save thyselG and them that hear thee.
1 commend you to God and to the
word of His Grace, which is able to
build YOU up and TO give you an in
heritance among them that are sane
tified'
Rev. Dr.. Charles Il. Robinson, the
pastor whom Rev. Mr.. Odell succeeds,
and who served the church for four
teen years, came on here from New
York city especially to be present at
last nights service and delivered the
charge to the people.
CHARGE TO THE PEOPLE.
He spoke in an informal manner,
ard told of his great joy at seeing his
work taken up by a young man of
such deep earnestness and firm Chris
tian faith He referred to the delight
ful relations which always existed be-
tween himself and the congregation
and felt sure that they will exist be-
tween his successor and the people as
well. He made few suggestions re-
garding the manner in which Rev. Mr..
Odell should be received when maxi
ing pastoral calls and when spoken
to at the prayer meeting.
"Give him the right of way through
your souls said he. Let but a
knock at tie gates of your heart be
sufficient to cause you to open them
wide for the blessed gospel of Christ"
lie urged the congregation not to
muzzla the new pastor but to allow
him to preach the truth as God gives
it to him. The habit of picking the
sermon to pieces at the Sunday dinner
table WAS also referred to and the in
dlvidual members of the congregation
warned against it.
Following the singing of a hymn,
the new pastor offered the benediction
and the members of the congregation

IT BEGAN EARLY.

The snow began here precisely at
twelve minutes after 6 o'clock yester-
day morning, according to the weather
bureau records. When it started it was
just fine, misty sort of u snow, but
it kept growing in volume until by s
O'Clock it had developed into real good
olG-fashioned snow.
At o'clock last night, when the
weather bureau took the last measure
ment. the depth of the snow was ia
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 the afternoon street car
traffic was suspended entirely except
on the Petersburg line which was kept
open for a considerable length of time.
The electric sWeepers We're 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 o'clock had II hard time of
1T. 1t took one car sent out to Green
Ridge over ten minutes to travel the
one block on North Washington ave-
nue., between Linden and Mulberry
streets, and the crew finally gave up in
disgust and turned back.

WALKING WAS DIFFICULT.


Walking in nearly every part of the
city except in the central part, where
the walks We're kept fairly clean, was
an exceedingly difficult undertaking,
The snow was knee deep in many
places, and got into rubbers and even
into the tops of rubber boots.
In the central part of the city there
We're snow piles four and five feet deep
on the street in many places where the
walks had been cleaned and the tracks
swept by the electric sweeper. The re-
cent order sent out by Director of Pub
lie Works Roche, regarding the clean
ing of cutters was generally obeyed in
the central city, and numbers of men
could be seen shoveling them out in
the midst of the binding snow.
Traffic on all the railroads entering
the city was not interfered with until
last night, when the snow drifts at
some places measured several feet In
depth. The operating companies had
just about recovered from the effects
of the washouts caused by the floods
when the storm set in and knocked
their running schedules out again.
Superintendent HiXson, of the bridges
and buildings department of the Lack
awanna railroad, had a large force of
men at work all day yesterday clear
ing the tracks around the passenger
station and in relieving the roofs of
the building of their burden. Similar
work was performed at the Delaware
and Hudson and Central Railroad of
New Jersey stations. but their work
aided but little in relieving the condi-
tions wrought by the elements.
At 1,SO this morning the steam roads
We're all reported open, but the snow
was still falling and the wind blowing,
and there was danger of blockades be-
fore daylight. The Lackawanna man
aged to keep the tracks over the Pocono
well cleared with the aid of four DOW
erful snow plows, but on the Morris
and Essex division where the storm
was especially severe, traffic was con-
siderably delayed.

Found Roaming the Streets With Sheet
Wrapped About His Body and Pro-
claiming He Was the Lord.

Robert Blair, colored, about sixty years
of age, was committed to St Elizabeth s
Hospital for the Insane yesterday for
treatment. Testimony relative to Blair's
condition was heard by Justice Barnard,
who appointed two physicians to examine
the subject. The physicians said there
is no doubt in their minds as to Blair's
INSANITY
At the conclusion of the evidence As
sstant Corporation Counsel Sinclair,
who represented the Commissioners at
the investigation, asked Blair If he
would like to say anything in his own
behalf He went on the witness stand
and said:

William H. Micheclacher was also

ENGINEERS GOOD AIM
FATAL TO BURGLAR
Gang Of Five Driven From Power House
Probably Intended to Cut OF Lights
and Loot Town.

wILLIAMSPORT, Pa. Oct. 2.-Alem
Bly,, engineer at the Montursville Elec-
trio power house, this morning shot
and killed one of five masked burglars
after he had been shot twice himself.
The burglars broke down the door of
the station with battering ram. The
man in the lead fired twice. both bull
lets taking effect in Bly's leg. The first
shot from Bly's pistol dropped the
leader. A fusilade followed, and sec
ond burglar was hit
Bly, retreated through a rear door and
went to nearby factory. where the
whistle was blown, and the town arous-
ed. The thieves attempted to carry the
dead man with them. but were COM
PEELED to desert the body just outside
the power house door.
Posses failed to capture the fugitives,
though this morning, mile away from
the scene. evidences of a wound having
been dressed were found. The dead mai
has not been identified.
The theory is that the robbers wanted
to put out the lights of the town, and
then begin a series of robberies.
