Odell, pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, last night in the course of his address at the graduat ing exercises of the nurses at the Hahnemann hospital held in Guernsey hall. Mr. Odell declared that there was something wrong in Scran ton's perspective, and talked about the decadence of our conscience and other things in language equally as forceful and impressive. His remark were provoked by the extremely small attendance at the exercises, which the speaker thought revealed a shocking condition of affairs in this city. Mr.

Jell's condemnation was received with the hearty applause of the small feathering. Two nurses received diplomas at last night's exercises. They were Miss Grace Goodrich, of Scranton, and Miss Edith Roth, of Pittston. With Miss Smith, superintendent at the hospital, find members of the training class from the institution they occupied places on the platform, presenting a pretty picture in the regulation garbs of the nurses.

H. M. Boies' presided over the exercises. Mr. Odell invoked divine blessing and then the report of the corresponding secretary, Miss Tenny, showing the work for the past year, was read by Mr.

While not wishing to tire you with too long a list of work done, and thanks for the many gifts and aid that has helped the directors to care for the numerous sick ones during the year, yet we feel that thlg is the only time in which we have an opportunity to Inform the public of the large amount of good work accomplished for the Bick and suffering.

1903. REV. JOSEPH H. ODELL CONDEMNS LACK OF INTEREST IN GOOD WORK Stirring Address at the Annual Meeting of the Hahnemann Hospital Two Nurses Graduate. Encouraging Reports by Officers.

scriptions to out patients during year, 640; number of visits to out patients in their homes, 88. Our training school numbers 10. Two have completed the prescribed course and graduate tonight. They have had a course of 12 practical lessons in cooking by Miss Erickson, graduate of the Drexel institute, besidesrheir theoretical and practical work in the diet kitchen at the one pound or more or any staple article, from their grocers. Let every homeopathic family think of this and respond according to 'their means.

It would not do to close this report without speaking of the very generous offer of Mr. C. D. Simpson to give to the board of directors several lots on Arthur avenue, opposite Nay Aug park, to build a new hospital. This, with the appropriation from the state, makes it possible to look forward to1 the New Year with bright prospects.

We hope that this generosity may inspire others to do likewise, and help so noble a cause all that is within their power. Louise Tenny. Corresponding Secretary. The report of the treasurer, Mrs. Henry Belln, was read by Mr.

Belin. The report showed that the total receipts for the of which S2.KU.JK) was the state appropriation, was $12, 470.70. The total expenditures were $14,001.23, leaving a deficit of $1,530. 53. The total indebtedness of the hospital is $4,200.

Odell then followed with his ad REV. JOSEPH H. ODELL Who condemned lack of interest by Scranton people in supporting hospital. hospital. They have also had 46 lectures by the stall of the hospital.

Miss Donelson has now the position of visiting nurse in place of Miss Cobb, who gave up her work In April. The visiting nurses have made 570 visits ot an hour or more of nursng the sick in their homes during the year. We have lost one physician by death from our hospital staff during the past year, Dr. C. W.

Roberts, who passed away last March. Our staff at present numbers 10. The doctors have worked so faithfully and have accomplished so much good we cannot but speak at this time of their great help, not only to the patients, but also in their lectures to the nurses, and their kindness and courtesy to the superintendent, who has spoken of her appreciation of the same. Our president, Mrs. C.

H. Welles, has worked throughout the year with untiring zeal for the good of the hospital, and has spent many hours in considering its needs. The treasurer, Mrs. Henry Bclln, has had a difficult task to meet expenses even with the larger amount this year from the state, and was obliged to borrow $3,000 to carry on the work, so was Very thankful to receive from the lecture given by Mrs. Co'lclough about Africa, through the generosity of Mrs.

H. M. Boles, 1107.75, and from the fair at Mrs. C. H.

AVelles', $382.28. We also thank Mrs. G. J. Berlinghoff for a euchre party which netted $39, and the A.

B. club, whose fair made also three little girls of Green Ridge for $18.45 from a fair. Mrs. Decker of the house committee gives much of her time to seeing to the welfare of the patients. Our superintendent.

Miss Grace E. M. Smith, has Worked as faithfully and energetically as ever during the year, and I think those who visit the hospital often wonder at her ability to find time, with the many interruptions, to keep so large a nousenom running ro smoothly. Miss Hawes, the assistant Superintendent, has been of great help both at the hospital and at the Nurses' home, of which she Is matron. Her cheery smile Iibh brightened many patients, and the children have had a most devoted friend in her.

Only those who have largo families, or are interested in some of the can realize what' It means to have such an efficient chairman of the purchasing committee as Mrs. Laton Oakford. 8he Is continually on the lookout to see where and how she can buy to save monoy for the hospital. Mrs. A.

H. Storrs reports for the dessert committee that the patients have had some dainty dessert for dinner on 47 Sundays during the past year. Mrs. S. H.

Stevens, of the sewin committee, reports the number of new garments made during the year were 303; number mended, 455 For some of this work we wish to thank the sewing societies of the First and 8peond Presbyterian churches for their valuable aid. Mrs. Stevens felt rathsr dlscouraRod last spring when so few came to help with the necessary weekly work at the hospital. This fall, go far, the number has increased again and we hope she may be repaid for her faithfulness by not only a larger number, but that they will continue through the year. It seems that ir tne Homeopathic ladles realized the Wear and tear Of clntho fr.r mnnv more wouia certainly aid in this We have also lost by death during the pasi year our eniuient chairman of the library committee.

Mrs. J. a. Price. Her Mrs.

Franklin Ilcnshaw, klnd i consented to Jill her place for the rest of the year. Mrs. A. F. Law of' the religious committee reports that some religious ser vices have been held at the hospital nearly every Sunday, and the Rev.

Mr. Alrlch, with several of the young ladles from Grace Reformed church have had service on Wednesday evenings, which has been appreciated. The directors were able, the flrst ot December, to secure the services of Dr. Schachard as resident physician, who proved the need of a physician In the house. We received his resignation in May, as he desired to practice for himself.

Dr. Hamilton was chosen to flu his place. The latter came the first of June and has been very agreeable and useful, both to the patients and superintendent. We must take time to thank the press for their generosity in publishing the list' of donors to the hospital each month; also Mr. Charles Genter for his continued assistance In the work of keeping the bonks.

larly, twice a year, naming the months. dress, which was prefaced with tha denunciation of the moral condition of the residents of this city. There are hundreds of people who have been benefited by the Hahnemann hospital pince its existence, said Mr. Odeli, Some have been rescued from lifelong misery, others have been delivered from death. But If this 'meeting was called for the purpose of hearing tha account of some catastrophe in which hundreds were injured and possibly a score killed and they could be presented ln vivid language with all.

the details bearing on the accident, there would not be a building large enough' in the city to hold the crowd. This comparison moved the speaker to remark that there was something wrong in our perspective; that a decadence in our conscience had been revealed. This mere handful of people, ho declared, sufficed to show how little interest there was in the safety of humanity. Of all the hundreds who have been helped and healed the showing was miserable. The whole community be made acquainted with, the condition, of affairs, he went and made to realize how little of the spirit of philanthropy towards fellow man there Is to be found in this city.

This is a serious matter Of conscience, he said, and a situation of deep regret is confronted. It is hard to believe that so little recognition for the well being of our fellow citizens could be found. If Scranton's perspective was right, the city would rise and hajl with acclaim thosa who have helped to alleviate the sufferings of humanity. The hospital is a noble institution, and the Hahneman hospital is doing bravely in the face of difficulties. They ask tonight for our approval, and they should be given all they ask.

Nurses in a sense dedicate their lives to the work of saving the lives of their fellow men. It is necessary to work to live. Men do not work because of their love for work, although they may grow to love their work, but the ma jority of men obey the law because they are forced to it to live. They are actuated by no. philanthrophlc motive, but work only for the preservation of themselves and families.

If charitably inclined, and all men who are good are they will give a fraction of their time and wealth for the lessening of the world's suffering. The three professions combine in a peculiar but happy way the work of living with philanthrophy. The members of the three are happy when they can aid their fellow man. The minister is the guardian over man's morals, the doctor guards his health, and the lawyer guards his liberty. The pro fession of nursing places the nurse in a high position among the workers of the three professions.

Their work for the lives of others combine the highest and purest of motives, and they, are a direct service to their fel low man. But they cannot expect that they will receive adequate compensa tion for their work, for it is of too much value to rated In dollars and cents. Dr. J. Bullard, of Wilkes Barre, followed Mr.

Odell with an address to the nurses. In the course of his admonitions he said there were six requirements necessary for nurses, health, knowledge, tact, industry, order, and cleanliness. Not 10 per cent, of the nurses of the country have all of these requirements, he declared. The importance of tact, he dwelt upon at length. The diplomas were presented to Miss Ooodrich and Miss Roth by Dr.

Bur. llnghoff, of this city. After his presentation speech, Mrs. Samuel H. Stevens and Mrs.

II. JI. Boies, as committee on nominations to fill the terms of directors for two yearst on the board, recommended the reappointment of Mrs. George B. Smith, Mrs.

Constables Greenburger and Jurko vitz bad a rather exciting experience at Duryea Saturday morning; while trying to arrest James O'Toole, who was wanted to' answer the charges of non support and desertion and threats to kill, preferred by his wife, Mrs. Catharine O'Toole. When the officers reached O'Toola's home the doors were locked and they were, compelled to force their way in. I They found O'Toole getting out of bed and as they entered his room he grasped a revolver from beneath his pillow and pointed it at them. After a short struggle Jurkovitz took the weapon, fully loaded, away from him.

He was taken at once before Squire Gilboy and held in $500 bail for a hearing on the charge of pointing firearms, O'Toole was later brought to this city and last night given a hearing before Alderman Millar. Mrs. O'Toole testified that nine months ago her husband deserted her and three children, who almost starved to death before she could have them put in a home. Since that time he has paid practically nothing towards her support, and she further alleges that he is keeping a speakeasy and house of Questionable reputation at Duryea, where several women can be found, After she had given her testimony it was discovered that the offense she charges him with was committed in Luzerne county, so Alderman Millar was compelled to discharge what he termed "a thoroughly bad man." Mrs. O'Toole will prosecute her faithless husband in Luzerne county.

P. J. Murphy, Olyphant. An Interesting Comparison of the Clergy of the United States and Europe. At the late mass yesterday morning in St.

Patrick's church, Olyphant, Rev. P. J. Murphy officiated, and at the end of the service ho read the president's proclamation of Thanksgiving, and based his annual discourse on the subject! Theoretically, religion is not recognized in this country, he said, but practically the United States is the most intensely christian nation on the earth. We may by ah oversight omit the name of God in the constitution, but He is written on the great charitable heart of the nation in letters of gold.

It is hypercritical on the part of a nation to have God on Its Hps and deny him by Its actions. Deeds are better looked upon with favor, both by tho national and state governments, and tho nation recognizes the principles of Christianity as essential to the wellbelng Of the republic. The Americans, as people, may be somewhat negligent in attending rellg lous worship on Sunday, but at heart they are reverential and respectful to Christians of all denominations, and nowhere Is there less friction existing between the sects as'ln this country, and Where the ministers Of religion are not hampered by state restrictions in religious affairs. I The voluntary contributions of the members of the different denominations, in the maintenance of their ministers and priests, do not lessen their influence in the community. The social standing of the clergy of this country Is fully equal to that of Kurope, I where they have to depend on the state for their living and social recognition, and they are, therefore, deprived of tha I freedom and Independence that charac I terlze the clergy of America.

Priests and ministers work In harmony i jur iiienuuu upuiLuiein. ot me cuminun ity to a higher sphere of morality, honesty and Justice. The American clergy are a tower of granite, resisting the baneful Influence of the saloon, gambling den and other disorderly places. The Americans respect the clergy for the moral Influence they wield in the community, and for their own individual worth. If their mental and moral horizon is bounded by the walls of their churches, and if they are unwilling to sympathize and fraternize with their neighbors In doing good, In assisting others to be Christ like and God like, they will receive little respect or encouragement from those outside of their own denominations.

"A clergyman In America," says Bishop Spalding, "who professes to lead a religious life, and has the morals of the crowd, or worse. Is the most contemptible and despised of teen." The preservation of the government of the people, who were before kings, rests on the basic foundation of justice, right and morality. The clergy are the spiritual police of the nation, the sentinels on the mountain top, to guard with everlasting vigilance the trust of self government that the world has given to Americans. "Failure," as the president remarks ln his Thanksgiving proclamation, "would be a dreadful misfortune for us and all mankind, because It would mean loss of hope for all who believe In the power and righteousness of liberty." The Americans are a thinking people, and consequently a thankful people, for to think is to thank. Let ua show our thankfulness not in mere words, but also in oeeas toward uie poor and needy on next Thursday.

Let those to whom God has given much open their hearts and their purses to share with their less fortunate brothers the goods thht have been Intrusted to them as Misers and spendthrifts are the barna. cles attached to the ship of state and they retard its progress. The former cheat the nation and the latter their family and heirs. They are thankless, heartless and selfish; the household enemies of the government. Internal corruption was the harbinger of destruction to the nations of the past.

The accumulation of great wealth ln the hands of the few, to the detriment of the many, attracted the cupidity and excited the jealousy of the neighboring nations, who subjugated them. draft, lust and wealth were the insldb enemies that invited the outside enemies to enter and take possession of the commonwealth. These three dark ravens' are hovering over our government and will eventually destroy It, If not sup. pressed by tha virile citizens of the country, who are Immune to political corruption and grasping greed, and as than creeds, and actions than words, and good' citizens are zealous for the preser the tree 1s known by its fruit. Both houses of congress have chaplains, who each day Invoke a bless.ng on ita members, that they may be enlightened by the holy spirit to enact Just legislation for the nation.

Tho state legislatures, army and the navy have chaplains, who receive their salary from the pubUc treasury. By this action of the authorities, Christianity Is vjuuri ana purpeiuauon vi ine government by the people, where every good citizen Is as good as the king, if not better. It has been said "That the real wealth of the nation does not consist ln the things she possesses, but the things she can do without, and the deepest depth of vulgarity is to make money the ark of the covenanat." Let us raise our hearts to Ood on next Thursday, for it is met and just, and thank the giver of every best gift for the peace, prosperity and happinegg wa have enjoyed for the past year, and beseech him to continue his bountiful favors to us in the future, and that this great nation that has lifted up its gate for the admission of the poor and downtrodden of Europe, whose backs are bent and whose minds are stunted, whose heads are drooped like the flowers. "Surcharged with the morning dew," may never perish from the earth. Net a Sick Day Since.
