REV. SCOTT F. HERSHEY, Ph.D., of
Washington, ID. C., lectured i'll the Pres
byterian church, on Thursday evening,
ON the subject of "Infidelity Failure" +"
The lecturer took broad ground, and in
cluded under the head of infidels, skep.
tics, agnOstics, atheists, and all who do
not believe in Christ as a mediator. In
contra distinction to this he placed Christ
ianity. The trend of his argument was
to show that no man can be an ardent
patriot, progressive citizen, or a true
and moral man, if he rejects the teach
ings of the Scriptures. He set forth
Christianity as the motive power toward
loyalty and well doing, and decried the
idea that it had any other basis. The
speaker touched upon Ingersoll, and ad
duced arguments to show that IngerSolPS
boasted morality and love for humanity
was myth. The works of infidels and
Christians were compared, and the
French infidels excoriated. A lesson
was drawn from the condition of the
French people, and dire disaster predict
ed as taught by the logic of events. DIR.
Hershey made good impression as a
speaker, and his lecture, largely histori
cal, exhibited research and scholarly
ability. He took broad view, and
maintained his position about as well as
could be done in a discourse of such a
length.

JOSIAH WATSON, a venerable citizen of
Colerain township, after an illness of "a
hours, died from heart failure, on Tues

| Pratt, ESQ.,, with whom he had made his
home since last January. He was born
on the spot where Gloucester, \. j., now
stands. December %, 1898, and afterward
resided III Philadelphia, from whence he
came to Belmont county, in 1887, settling
in COlerain township, upon the farm of
the late Thomas Pyle, and he continued
to reside in that vicinity during the re-
mainder of his life. Mr.. Watson al
though not great in stature, possessed
commanding physique, and had the pow
er of endurance in a remarkable degree.
He had rugged notions of honesty, and
insisted during his long and industrious
life, that IAN honest man is the noblest
work of God" and to this standard he
lived and died. He loved to mingle with
his friends and neighbors, and with the
people, and up to very recent years his
face was familiar one at public gather
ings, such as fairs, and especially at con-
ventiOns of his political associates. Out
of family of thirteen children, he was
the last save brother, a bank
er in San Francisco. A son, Mr.. c. II.
Watson, of Philadelphia, is the only mem
Der of his immediate family who sur
wives.
