Nearly in the center of the nebula
there will be seen a nucleus, or
slight aggregation of light, and this
nucleus is the new visitant from the
realms of hitherto unresolved &C star
dust" cosmic matter or, as we may
truthfully say, the raw material from
which every world in the universe
has been evolved by the immutable
and inevitable laws of material de-
velopment. The sudden apparition
OF new star under circumstances
akin 10 the present case is, to all in
tents, as much a new creation as was
our own world when, from being
" without form and void," it was
brought by the fiat of Omnipotence
into its present habitable condition.

G%REENSBURG ITEMS.

Protracted meeting is being held in
the United Brethren Church, at this
place, by Rev. Fout the present pas
tor, assisted, occasionally, by Rev.
Ridenour, of Martinsburg. There
has been a good attendance Throughout
the whole time, and many CONVEX
sions have been made. Let the good
work go IN.
School work is progressing with a
steady increase of attendance. The
pleasant weather brings out the young
folks in full force. The joyous shout
and bounding ball take us back many
years to the time when ace chased the
active ball, and got an occasional
strike Ton the side of the head from a
bat welded by the big boy) for not
keeping out of the way. Rabbit
traps are now busily engaged in their
waiting" but the rabbits seem to
stay at home ; or when they do ven.
ture out they seem to have nc affinity
for the traps.

this neighborhood. He preached al

The Potomac Synod ofthe Reformed
Church closed its annual sessions at
Chambersburg, or Monday night last.
The meeting was a very pleasant one
and the work of the past year very
encouraging. The Report on the State
of the Church gives number of minis
tiers, 143; congregations, 2SS; mem
bers, 29.S57 I; baptism, 1917 infant and
253 adult additions, 2,12S; contribu-
ted for benevolent purposes, S21, 795.
A pleasing feature of the Synod was
an invitation from Rev. g.. w. Augh-
limbaugh to visit the Reformed Fe-
male Seminary at Mercersburg, which
was kindly supplemented by Presi-
dent II. B. Kennedy of the G. V. r..
r., who placed at the disposal of the
Synod a passenger train of four
coaches. OF course the invitation,
trains and all were accepted with
thanks and Monday afternoon was
spent in a most delightful trip to
Mercersburg. Much of the pleasure
and comfort of the excursion was due
to the careful management and cour-
teous manners of our former towns
man, Mr.. Harry Riddle, who had
charge of the train.

TFor THr HERALD.

The present indiscriminate credit
system is ruinous to our country. The
entrance is easy, but how to get out,
that's the question. Keep out ; con-
tracing debts is not unlike the man
who goes to sea without a compass ;
he may steer clear of rocks and san
bars, but the chances + greatly
against him, and if he runs foul of
either, ten to one he is lost. From
the manufacturer to the consumer,
the tax induced by the credit system
is increased, the purchaser buys more
freely because he buys on credit, ex-
travagance usurps the place of econo-
my ; we have 81 many who are apt to
contract new debts, and lose sight of
old ones ; they are e passengers
in the life boat and leave others to
work at the oar and furnish every
thing. AS time rolls on, the statute of
Limitation dims their vision /; their
debts are cancelled, il is a fair business
transaction they say, the law inter-
venes ; abused confidence, honor, in
tegrity, justice and conscience, have
no part or lot in the matter. We will
obey the law, and make it honorable ;
the merchant, the mechanic, often
finds nothing left with his customer,
but the rags of the goods he has sold
and the carcass his provisions have
sustained. You who have so long in
dulged in this ruinous system, have
you ever considered this is the posi-
ton, an indlscriminate credit system
places you IN the eyes of the mer-
chant. Let us obey the injunction of
holy writ, owe no man, then we are
free men. So long as we indulge in
the pernicious credit system, pres
sures, panics, and commissions will
continue to come upon us. One who
has had experience.
