Answers to the Biblical Question.

Answers to the Biblical questions given in
last weeks ADVOCATE have been received.
The questions were-"How often do the
words Reverend and penknife occur in the
Bible?'' The answer for the word reverend
is in the 9th verse If the l1lth Psalm, and
penknife in the seth chapter and 23d verse OF
Jeremiah.
Correct answers were received from Misses
Jennie Phillips and Ida F. Caple, Fnksburg;
Dorsey r. Zepp and Harriet Z. Cashogr,
Marston; Marcella Fox, Double Pipe Creek;
I. II. Beggs. Cranberry; Fred A. Rnpp,
Manchester; Miss Lillian c. Price and Elmer
A. Eeefer, Harrisburg. Pa. Many of the re-
plies were to both questions, though some only
answered one. The one who was unable to
find the word penknife will find the answer
given above. Miss Price gives six references
to knife and six to pen.
Mr. Joel Bollinger, of Carrollton says that
there are not two chapters in the Bible alike.
That is so, but all commentators and theolo
gians have decided that there is so little diff.
ference between the 18th chapter of Second
Kings and the 37th chapter of Isaiah that they
are accepted as substantially the same. The
difference is only in the change of a few words.
Mareella Fox asks how often the word Lady
is found in the Bibble. Ida +. Caple and Ell
mer A. Keefer ask where the word Girl is
found.
Frank Fl. Willett, of Frizellsburg, asks
where Philadelphia is named, how often and
in what chapters.

The Market House Will Continue.
Truckersand Farmers Making Extensive
Preparations.

During the winter months the directors of
the Market House Company have been very
busy, and their earnest endeavors to give
Westminster first class market during the
coming year from the opening of the trucking
season, will undoubtedly, from the present
outlook, be rewarded with success.
The Market. House was started last year
very late in the season, too late in fact for
farmers and truckers to prepare for it; at first
it was literally patronized by the people of
Westminster, but gradually the number OF
purchasers diminished, not indeed from any
hostility towards the market, nor on account
of its somewhat announcement location, but
solely because they could not obtain what they
wanted-the produce was not there. This
drawback will no longer impede the success
of this public enterprise.
Whilst the receipts during the past year
have not been quite sufficient to pay the cur
rent expenses, yetthose interested feel greatly
encouraged because the financial result thus
far has exceeded the expectations entertained
when the market was first started.
The outlook is very promising. Many
farmers and truckers are making extensive
preparations to meet the demands OF the PEG.
ple and are DESTROYS for the continuation OF
the market. -.
Confident that the Market House will be
well supplied with meat, poultry aud produce
of all kinds; confident that it will be literally
patronized by the people of Westminster, the
Board of Directors have determined that the
market shall continue, and have rented the
present market house for another year from
April /, 1888.
Every effort has been made, but without
success, to obtain suitable location on Main
street for n Market House; and standing
committee has been appointed to continue
their efforts in that direction.
In the meantime it is hoped that those pa
irons who object to the present location Wi
not hermit this objection to outweigh their
interest in the success of great public enter
prise. For it is public enterprise, gotten NJ
solely for the benefit of the people of this cry
and not fer the purposes of pirate gain. The
stock is distributed among several hundred
people, most of whom hold only one or two
shares, and none of whom are permitted tC
hold more than ten shares at eight dollars pa
value; this of itself should be sufficient t.
convince the most skeptical that pTicate gai'
cannot be the object of any one interested
| therein:
As the Market House, therefore, is con
| ducted solely for the benefit and advantage o
all the citizens of Westminster, let no on
hesitate to further its maintenance by every
m cans in his power. CITIZEN.

Written for the Democratic Advocate by
]. W. sLAuGESHAuP.
The body of the crucifed
BY friends was rohed for buriali
And costly spices were supplied
When he was placed beneath the pail,
There was no funeral display,
Fen though king to rest was borne;
No ponderous train in grand array
To follow with the few that mourn.
The stars were mourners in the sky.
The tide flowed mournfully below;
The low winds with their notes reply,
Waving the trembling aspen bough.
The moon reflects her silver beam,
From dews upon the olive leaves
The weeping willows lower seem
To bend each branch that interweayes.
They bore their master to the tomb
Where never yet was laid the dead;
They LEFT him in its silent gloom
And came away with mournful tread.
All hope they buried in that grave,
And all off life seemed lost in death;
And deeper pain each memory gave
That came with every sobbing breath
