A Prayer.
Published by Request

OF A CITIZEN OF MILFORD TOWNSHIP.
Most merciful, glorious and adora
bic Lord, our Heavenly Father, we
would desire to return to thee our
humble and heartfelt thanks for all
the goodness, tender mercy, long
suffering, which thou hast bestowed
upon us. since ever we bad being in
this world. We are still so highly
favored as TO have, time, place and
opportunity to make our peace, call
ing and election sure. We pray thee
grant for the Redeemer's sake
to constrain us by love and the in
fuence of the blessed spirit to work
out our salvation with fear and
trembling, ever bearing in mind that
thou dost work in us to will and to
do thy pleasure.
We pray thee bless with us all the
people everywhere, the poor and the
needy, sick and afflicted, the father
less and the widowed.
May the time soon come when all
shall know thee from the rivers to
the ends of the earth.
May very soon thy knowledge Gov
er the earth as the waters the great
deep.
We pray thee hasten the longed
for period when Satan shall be bound
a thousand years, when the lion and
the lamb lie down together, when no
one has cause to learn war anymore,
but when righteousness shall reign
from the rising of the sun to its 60
ing down.
May thy Son have the heather for
an inheritance and the uttermost
parts of the earth for possession.
May all come to know the Lord,
whom to know Alright is life everlast
ing.
We pray thee take us into thy pro
tecting care that we may never stray
to the right hand or to the left till
we arrive on Caanans happy shore
where the wicked cease from troub-
ling and the weary forever are at rest.
When thou art done with us in
this sinful world, when we have
fought the good fight, finished our
course, kept the faith, may there be
laid up for us a crown at thy right
hand, and not for us only, but for
all that love thine appearing. Grant
that all may love and look for thine
appearing, and watch for thy COM
ing, that thou mayest not come as is
said in thy word. The day of the
Lord will come as thief in the
night.
We pray thee that thou may not
thus come, but that all if possible
may become prepared to meet thee
with joy and not with grief.
May We also meet our friends that
have gone before; may we with them
be permitted to tread the golden
streets of the New Jerusalem, drink
of the crystal stream that flows for
ever from thy throne, partake of the
fruit of the tree of life that yields its
twelve manner of fruit every month,
and unite with all thy blessed as
semhly of the just made perfect IN
ascribing, honor, power, glory and
dominion to Father, Son and blessed
Spirit in a world without end.

He was second only to the first cav
airy leader Of the national arms.
The first was the only Sheridan.
The people of the country never had
chance to know of Gregg at his
real worth on account of his inher-
ent modesty.
"Take Gen. James H. Wilson part
of whose command captured Jeffer
son Davis; he, by some, is thought
the most dashing cavalry officer next
TO Sheridan. But Wilson was boom
ed considerably during the last year
of the war, and having been associat-
ed with General Grants head-quart
ers he had some advantage of oppor-
tunities.
II should put Gregg first. He
was the same grade as Wilson, Bu-
ford, Fitzpatrick. Merritt, Custer, but
he was superior to any of them. He
commanded division when they be
gan to mass the cavalry, and his ser
vices were Incompatible. He fought
the great cavalry fights which pre-
coded Gettysburg, and history re-
cords with pride the services of his
battalions of troopers at that desper-
ate crisis of arms in the war for the
| Union
"Gregg was a great soldier, and
for the people of Pennsylvania to do
anything but handsomely honor him
in this campaign for civic Office would
impeach their gratitude, and it might
almost be said their patriotism y
General Gregg has never been an
Office seeker. Some people think a
man must be a seeker for Congress
ional or state Office to make an Office
seeker, but that is q mistake A
man may have greed for the Office in
the county or for Office in the town
ship or Office among secret orders
or in church organizations or in cor
porations. General Gregg has new
er been an Office seeker in the places
mentioned, and it is a wonder that
he has permitted his name to be put
forward for a state Office However
it is a good thing for the people OF
this Commonwealth that SO worthy
citizen has consented to run for of
fee. 1t would be better for all if the
better citizens could be induced to
accept Office.

The fact that Easter falls Oh very early
date this year March "9t. has caused a
"friend of facts and figures" to collect
some curious statistics In 1888, he says,
Easter fell on March -. and it will only
once again this century. namely. in 1894.
fall on 50 early date. In the three fol-
loving centuries it will orcur only eight
times on the same datH- namely, in 1851. ..

The earliest da.c on which Easter can
fall is March - and this only in ca o
the mooa is full on March y, when this
date happens to fail on Saturday. This
combination of circumstances is extreme
ly rare: it occurred in 1890, 1861 and
1877. and will happen again in 1890, 2O76
and a144. while during the three follow
ing centuries it is not once "on the
books" at this early date. On the other
hand, Easter never falls later than April
25; this was the case in 1866, 1884 and
1856, and will only happer once in the
next century-namely in 1943.-PaA
