ClareQ everlasting war aga1nSG all OCner sects, and they want so many broad swords, so many muskets, so many howitzers, so many columbiads, so much grape and canister, so many fieldpieces with which to rake the field of dispute, for they mean to get the victory though the heavens be darkened with the smoke and the earth rent with the thunder. What do they care about the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ?
 have seen some such men come back from an ecclesiastical massacre as proud of their achievements as an Indian war rior boasting of the number of scalps he has taken. have more admiration for a man who goes forth with his fists to get the championship than I have for these theological pugilists who make our theological magazines ring with their warcry. There are men who seem to think the only use of the sword of truth is to stick somebody. There is one pas sage of the Scriptures that they like bet ter than all others, and that is this: Blessed be the Lord which teacheth my hands to war and my fingers to fight" Woe to us if we come to Gods word as controversialists, or as skeptics, or as connoisssurs, or as fault finders, or mere ly as poetsl
 Those only get into the heart of. Gods truth who come seeking Christ. Vel come all such! They will find him com ing out from behind the curtain of pro- phecy until he stands, in the full light of New Testament disclosure, Jesus the Son of God, the Saviour of the world. They will find him in genealogical table and in chronological calculation, in po- etic stanza and in historical narrative, in profound parable and in startling mira cle. They will see his foot on every sea, and his tears in the drops of dew on Hermon, and hear his voice in the wind, and behold his words all abloom in the valley between Mount Olivet and Jeru- salem.
 There are some men who come and walk around the Templeo of Truth and merely see tho outside There are others who walk into the porch and then go away. There are others who come in and look at the pictures, but they know nothing about the chief attractions of the Bible. It is only the man who comes and knocks at the gate, saying, 'I would see Jesus" For him the glories of that book open, and he goes in and finds Christ, and with him peace, pardon, life, comfort and heaven. "All in all is Jssts" in ths 1ibis.

NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES.

A visit to the Normal School now
presents to the visitor most busy
scene. On the part of the Faculty
and students 1t means term examina-
tons, and these at the end of the
Winter term, are considered of much
Importance. With this term the
Seniors have completed the History of
Education, Latin, and Natural Philo-
sophy. In place of these they take
up General History, Botany and gen.
eral reading. On the part of the
juniors 1t means that they have COM
pleted United States History some
have completed English Grammar
and Algebra. They will take up as
new subjects Geography, Boo; Keep
ing and Physiology.
On the part of the management of
household affairs it means a small
army of helpers going into every part
OF the building, cleaning and putting
INTO order every available room in the
large dormitory. Indeed, we are in
formed that the entire capacity of the
building will be taxed to its utmost.
The school will probably open the
new term next week with one hundred
and fifty new students including
boarders and day students.
Prof o. ID. Frederick of the Fa-
Guilty of the West Chester Normal
School spent Tuesday in the class
rooms of our Normal. He expressed
himself as very much pleased with the
work he saw, and delighted with the
location OF the buildings and plans of
the grounds.
On Monday forenoon another archi-
tect visited the Normal with plans for
the proposed new building.
1t takes about a half day each week
for Prin. Welsh to meet and discuss
with these men, the plans and de-
signs they bring.
On the evening of the 2Sth the
Committee of the Trustees having
supervision OF buildings, will meet to
discuss various plans and in all proba-
billty adopt some one of those.
Prof. Noetling and Prof. Cope took
advantage Of the Monday holiday to
visit the schools of Wilkesbarre, which

MAINVILLE.

A sad accident occurred on the p.
Il r. railroad above here between
Fisher and Mine Gap bridge on last
Tuesday night. Freight engine 40,
exploded seriously injuring c. ]. Camp
bell, engineer Ed Brochey, firemen
and George Richards, brakeman. The
engine and some of the cars were
thrown some distance from the track
completely demolishing them. Under
this heap of debris the men were bur
led and their cries for help were pa
thetic indeed, to the very few who
were there to render assistance. 1t was
not very long however, before they
were taken out, but Mr.. Campbell
never spoke afterwards. They were
taken to their homes at Catawissa,
and medical assistance was summoned
and everything possible was done for
their relief, but Mr.. Campbell, did not
regain consciousness and died about
half past nine on Wednesday morning.
MIR. Brochey was severely scalded
about the face. Mr.. Richards only
received slight injuries. They are both
recovering. This same engine killed
its engineer Fisher and fireman, Woods,
about year ago.

Aaron Grover nearly lost all his pork
on Saturday. He had the meat of

just built fire under it, when a pass
er by, told them their smoke house
was on fire. They did not believe it
at first, but on examination they found |
the meat had fallen down already, and |
but for the proximity of a large water
ing trough it would have been COM
pletely cooked all at once.
The snow drifts were again piled up
n the roads last week, but the people

patching to make it of any use this
week.
