Christmas is the great time for church
entertainments aud exhibitions. How
much harm has been done to the church of
Christ by the abuse of these things, eternity
alone will tell, but it is quite plain that
many churches bear the puniehment here
in its worldliness, deafness and lack of
spiritual power.
The Word of God commands, "Be not
conformed to this world. while some world
| minded church leaders are not satisfied
without occasionally having entertainments
which conform just as much to the world
and the theatre as it is possible for them to
get--so near, that If 1t was not for the place
and the mention of the sacred name of
Jesus, you would be led to conclude that
you were in variety show or opera. Only
few years ago l witnessed one of the most
shameful and sacriligious entertainments
of this kind eyer given in this town. Every
body was Disguised, and the very large
audience present showed heir contempt by
loud mocking and ridicule. We were in
formed by some of the more pious members,
who bewail these things, that this year
something on the same order is 10 be enact
ed, much to the disgust of the gedly who
feel timid in opposing the worldl, leader.
who seeks his own glorN (not the glory of
Christi by these ungodly displays of pride
and vanity. When the church of Christ is
profaned bv these things can we reasonably
expect a revival, or is it astonishing that
on, few Sunday school scholars are chris
iians. The church believes on the author.

Of the church of Christ say that the churcf

places filled by better and more godly men

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CLERK
ship will be voted for upon the reorganiza
tion of the board in January. So the fact
that there is quiet contest for the position
awakes no alarm. Among the aspirants
mentioned so far, we hear the names of
Ex-sheriff q. w Lentz, of Mauch Chunk;
Ex-assemblyman John j. Gallagher, Of
Beaver Meadow, and lastly Frank p.
Semmel, of town. Mr.. Cassidy the present
able and efficient incumbent is not mention
ed in connection with the position, why,
we know not, for he has made safe, care
full and courteous clerk. Of the three
gentlemen above named as aspiring to
succeed Mr.. Cassidy, we,of course, would
be pleased to see Mr.. Semmel carry off the
laurels, because we feel sure that he is fitted
by long business experience to successfully
manage the affairs connected with the
Commissioner office; against, the othel
gentlemen we can say nothing in opposition
because we know them to be able and
capable gentlemen, and either would make
an efficient official.

BROTHER MALoY, OF THE SPICY LANs
ford Record is mad because In the course

onto the best offices. Having our attention
called to this fact by Brother Maloy, re
minds us that at present the offices of
sheriff, prothonotary, register and recorder,
coroner, associate judge, mercantile apprais-
er, and assemblyman, are simply seyerallY
occupied by Mauch Chunk gentlemen. OF
course, it is an unfair division of the spoils,

is decided at the polls, so If you object to
the present order of things, Jimmy, thi:

Geo. W. Kline, one of our meat merch-

here wish him speedy recovery.
-Rollin Blakslee and Robert Eadie, who
have been attending school at Reading and
Elmira respectively, have both returned to
spend their holidays With the old folks at
home.
Our Sunday school superntendants
and teachers are bus at present in getting
the little folks ready for their Christmas
entertainments. We have six Sunday
schools in town, and we may safely look
for just six entertainments.
1t seems to me that most of those
teachers who were dissatisfied with the
Lehighton hotels during Institute week are
those who have very little comfort at home,
and they then quite naturally expect the
hotels TO give them year comfort in a
week of time.
-Diphitheria, that most dreaded disease,
has again broken out in our town in regular
epidemic form, and unless avigorous measur.
es are taken to prevent its spreading, 1t is
feared that the public schools will have TO
be closed. In most of the rooms the
attendance Is now below one-half the
monthly average attendance.

all varieties from a pug dog to St. Bernard.

The entertainment given at the opera

students of the Central Normal Col

we'll known evolutionary ability of
several of the ladies and gentlemen

to the puplic that something above the

least disappointed. Prof. 3. e Wright

portrayal of the characters they repre-

The Coolidge Times has changed
hands, Mr.. L. I. Purcell, formerly of
the Newton Chronicle, has purchased
the business. Brother Kenneth V.
Snort grows eloquent in his ''good bye"
He says:
There is the last rose of summer
it's faded petals dropping from the stem;
the1ast glimpse of homeland fading
from the sight of the emigrant; the last
bird of autumn as it wings it's way
Southwark and sings its farewell song:
the last goodbye between friends who
may never meet again this side the
valley of the shadow of death-that
land where flowers never wither and
where good-byes are never heard. All
of these are sad, indeed; but for me to
bring myself to write the last para
graph for the paper for whose welfare
l have daily toiled is to me a sadder
thing, and as / bid farewell to the
many constant readers and patrons of
the Times do so with the solemnity
of one parting forever with those near
and dear, and bear in mind the truth
and righteousness Of the cause of jour
nalism and remember that truth must
conquer, because
and with this last thought to guide my
pen and give me hope for the future, l
write my goodbye"
