On sunday evening last tie Odd Fellow.
Of this city marched in large numbers to the
Methodist church to listen 10 a sermon on odd
Fellowship by Rev. d. b. Phelan, of Surr..
who is member Of this fraternity. The
speaker proved 10 be an earnest eloquent ex-
ponenr and advocate Of the principles OF the
order. He showed that the precepts Of odd
Fellowship are not opposed to those of the
chrisIlsn religion, but in harmony with them
The fraternity inculcates the spirit and prac-
tee Of the Good Samaritan: ii aims To help
every brother who through sickness, distress
or otherwise may need brothers care; and
whoever renders these kindly offices to the
members Of the fraternity Is more likely than
he otherwise would be to render them to the
world at large The order insists upon ab-
slinenee as regards intoxicating beverages: and
the odd Fellow who drinks intoxicating liquor.
is violating the requirements of the order in as
marked degree does the hypocrite in a
christian church. The speaker said he would
like to see all men christians, but if that could
not be, then be was very glad to see them Odd
Fellows for that was an approximation to-
ward christianity The church WAS filled with
a very large audience. Reys. Mr.. Phelan. Of
Sullivan, and Crosby, of this city, together
with Presiding Elder Haley took part in the
exercise. We hear that the speaker and the
audience were mutually pleased-the former
with his large number of hearers and they
with the sermon.

er Of the Maine Central. Who has just returned
TO Wstervile from Punta Gorda, where he
has been running large hotel during the past
winter, says that owing to the mildpess Of the
northern winter this year, hotel business has
been light In the extreme south. Many people
who started for Florida stopped in Georgia and
Virginia. The hotel business In the south has
not been very encouraging to the northerners
who have managed houses there for several
seasons past.

The schooner Light of the East, which
was taken out on the marine railway las
fall and has since been rebuilt, is now
ready to launch. Most thorough work has
been done on her under the supervision OF
/ Capt. J. NJ. Higgins She has been thor
oughly rebuilt throughout, very little ole
material remaining. The deck and deck
timbers are all new. she has new stem
apron, mostly new timbers and outside
planking, heavy new hardpine ceiling anC
a new forward house. We are informed
by Capt. l. NJ. Grant who has no pecuniary
interest in the matter, that she is a more
valuable vessel, So far as her hull is con
cerned, than she was the day she was
launched. She is certainly very pretty
and substantial schooner, as are all the
vessels built or rebuilt by her owners
among whom are included Capt. j. NJ
Higgins and Capt. L. ID. Remick. The
Light of the East will be commanded BY
Capt. Charles L. Smith. Her net tonnage
has been increased from 1923. 81 to l39. "A

this week.
"Nlr. andrew young" says the
Church. man, "thc writer of the re
hgious song, There is Happy
Land, Far, Far Away, is still alive,
n man SO years of age, vigorous in
mind and body, and having all that
sympathy for children without
which it is impossible to influence
the little ones for good. 1t is about
fifty years since these words were
written TO the music of an Indian
air, and they have since been trans
lated into nineteen language"
In Il case Iust disposed of, the
supreme court of Indiana has de-
cided that II will made on Sunday is
valid. 1t holds that the drafting
and executing of II wi" are akin to
the execution of marriage contract
and solemnizing the marriage. "The
statute the court notes, "makes il
II penal otlcnse to be found engaged
III common labor or III ones usual
vocation. 1t certainly could not be
contcnded that minister of the
gospel engaged in solemnizing n
marriage on Sunday or lawyer
writing will to be executed on
Sunday would be subject to indict-
ment and prosecution fora violation
of the statute"
The late Rev Henry Ward Beech
er received II letter from II young
man, who recommended himself ms
being honest, and closed with the
request Give mean easy situation,
that honesty may be rewarded To
which Mr.. Beecher replied Don't
be an editor, if you would be easy
Do not try the law. Avoid school
keeping. Keep out of the pulpit.
Let alone n" ships, stores. shops
and merchandise. Abhor politics
Keep away from lawyers. Don't
practice. BE not n farmer or me-
chanic neither II soldier nor sailor
Don't study. Don't think. Don't
work. None of these are easy. Oh
my honest friend, you are in a very
hard world / don't know of but
one real easy place in it. That is
the grave.

Sunbury Daily that the detective
who has been working on the Hane
murder case for the last three
months has given up the job and re-
turned to his home in Philadelphia,
etc. We beg leave TO inform the
most worthy sir that the de
tectiye's home is not in Pmladclph.

the ease for 30 days and then did
not work for reward but on II fixed
salary and is ut present employed by
the commissioners, which justilics
them III withdrawing the reward
BY the tone of the Daily article
he would try and have the people
believe that Snyder county was
afraid the murderer might be found
and then would be called upon to
hand over the $1,000 reward. Oh,
no, the Snyder county people mean
business and will ferret out the per
pctrators, regardless of cost, and
the mystery Will ere long be cleared
up. This is no baby play. rs they
would have you believe, and not ru-
mors but facts. Respectfully,
