BSy" Now that the organization ball has
been set in motion by the organizing Of a
Hayes and Wheeler club in Stroudsburg, we
hope to see the speedy establishment of
similar clubs throughout the county. There
is hardly township but what could furnish
membership for such a club, and in townships
where Republican are even scarcer than
white mice" the interests ofthe party could
be looked after by the club of the townships
most convenient thereto We cannot bring
ourself to the belief that there is single
representative Of the party who would not be
strengthened in his faith and led to the work
Of converting others if he was properly backed
by earnest men Of the party living within
easy visiting distance and no township in the
county is without this convenience certainly
la Polk, Chestnuthill, Ross, Hamilton
Pocono, Coolbaugh, Bamet, Price, Tobyhan-
ma, Smithfeld, Middle Smithfield, Stroud
and East Stroudsburg there are the material
for making up excellent clubs some of them
of small and others Of large membership, but
in all earnest, thoroughgoing Republicans
who, as the past assures US, can make their
influence felt to the party's great advantage
if they only make up their minds to DO it.
To induce these to work in this light is one of
the duties of the Stroudsburg club, and thus
by comforting with the brethren personally
by correspondence and by every other fair
and honorable means which will lead them to
feel the importance of union for the sake of
union, and Of union for the sake of the defeat
Of the same old enemy which sixteen years
ago, and for FIVE years after united in a
determined effort to destroy our national
Union. 1t needs nothing buta proper wax
ing up of our country friends to a recollection
of this fact to cause them to rush to the field
and, as in the days of yore, fight again the
battles for the preservation of liberty and
the union. Let US start the ball in this direc-
tion at once, and there is no telling what a
glorious result may reward our efforts in
November. With united action we can ac-
complish much. Without it we can accom-
plish nothing with even chances that we hold
our own

A serious calamity is attracting anx-

cavalry horses that returned from Abys-
sinia came with a malignant disease
upon them. The doctors pronounce it
a kind of typhoid fever. 1t is infectious
and terribly rapid, death resulting in
many cases In a few hours. The Gov

hundred horses are already reported
dead.

CHE Bulletin.
The Prayer for Rain
From the New York Herald. |


Professor Tyndall does not believe in
the power OF prayer to alter the material
laws Of the universe, and very probably
he Is right. We do not indorse him, for
the reason that our knowledge of the uni
verseis limited. But when Romeo pray
cd that the sun might not raise and sep
arate him from his beloved Juliet the sun
rose all the same and divided the lovers
forever. What million Of men pray for
another million OF men pray against.
One man wants rain, but another wants
sunshine. How can local interests effect
the wisdom of Heaven Is 1t possible
that Providence hesitates between its eli
ents and says TO James, whose arid potato
field Is whitening for want of water,
Dear james. 1t will rain tonight" and
to Smith. whose hay is not yet stacked,
Dear Smith. your hay will all be soaked"
No; these are effects OF prayer which are
not logical in the mind. and so far the
challenge: Of Professor Tyndall, to have
one hospital prayed for and the other
prescribed Tor, must be held to be likely
10 result to the advantage of his theory.
Prayer, however. while it cannot inru-
ence material laws may effect those uE.
known spiritual laws which have so
much to do:with our mysterious nature.
Who has not prayed for some desired
end A dying child, dying wife, relief,
perhaps, from some trouble There is Il
story of poor woman who prayed for n
loaf of bread. and her prayer was indi-
rectly answered by a drunken party of
men. who in sport, threw loaf down
her chimney. No one can solve these
mysteries, for there are men Of this world
and men OF the next world. When the
entire Christendom Of humanity knecls
every Sunday in church and implores
Heaven tor especial blessings Is that cere-
mony farce. II it is useless supplica-
ton then one-half of our religion is a
mockery. People say thate every wish is
a prayer, but that statement is mistake.
A wish is only the desire tor a result a
PRAYER is a request tor a reply.
We want rain badly now. The earth
is dead with drought. and the crops will
suffer from the lack OF water. Shall we
pray that the heavens may be opened and
the mechanical laws Of the universe be
suspended for our particular benefit. Ger
tainly we have the right to demand. but
ii Is doubtful if we possess the reason to
expect compliance. In our churches Oil
Sunday prayers for rain will be probably
offered, and il the rain comes the elo-
quence Of the clergyman will be held in
high estimation by his congregation, and
il it fails then Providence must take the
responsibility. Our own humble opinion
il, that if we look for rain IN this unhap-
by drought we had better study the
weather reports. which at least indicate
probabilities. When we kDeel in rever
ence to that inscrutable power, which is
above us all, let our supplicatons be for
spiritual blessings more than for earthly
gains.
