CHRISTIAN ]ENrEAVoP.
Topic for s cay, March IS.

Y,
1t is won Icrful thing, when We
consider the S. ructure OF the tongue
and its many Uses, tlat every human
being learns 10 make Of 1t S" valuable

that separates man from the animals.
Yet it is this same sert,an,, so will

able. No beast Of prey, no venomous
serpent, causes the loss of so many
human lives and of SO much peace and
happiness as is laid to the charge of
this seemingly innocent member. No
disease, however dreaded a scourge it
may become, causes half so much pain
Z nd sor :ow. Tie grief and suffer
inc do not come to those alone
at whom the tongues bolts are aimed.
The words heedlcssly uttered come
cchoing back again long afterward to
torment the one that spoke them. The
evil that seemed at the time SO slight
because it left no mark that coull be
seen grows the more fearful just be-
cause the effect IS something of such
a nature that it cannot be blotted out.
The unwise word, the unkind saying
to another's face or behind his back,
lasts long after paper has mouldered
away.
Tanning of the tongue, like tanning
Of any wild animal, is to be brought
about by kindness in the heart of the
one that undertakes the task. 1t is
because the tongue voices so exactly
the heart of its owner that it is so dan
gerous. Were it not for such dan
ger.signal, fatal evils might remain
unsupported. AS the tongue tells its
story as to the health of the body, it
is an index also of the health of the
soul.
The hard task that an unruly ton
que sets for its owner is one that can
be accomplished. The owner may be-
come the master. We think of the
Father Of his Country" as a model of
mildness, but his struggle to subdue
his temper was much harder and Ion
ger than his successful attempt to curb
the fiery horse. Victory does not lie
in reducing the tongue to silence. A
Trappst monk is not good type for
Christian. We do not care, gener-
ally, to tame animals simply to make
them inotiensiye; we want them as
useful servants. The value of the
tanned tongue is the inducement to
continue the battle. Those that ale
fully ruled by the Spirit may not re
ceivc the same gifts that were seen in
the early church and on the day tt
Pentccost, but they may none The less
speak with new tongues of wonderful
power to comfort, to encourage, and
to persuade.

A WARNING TO P0PULITs.
They Must Make Sacrifice to Properly
Support Their Weekly Papers.

They Must Make Sacrifice to Properly
Support Their Weekly Papers.
We wish to call the attention of
the Populists and our patty press to
some important facts which we have
in the last month observed. The
strength, the life, the hope Of the
Peoples party and the cause of lib
erty is in the educating power Of its
press-its party press. We have
not been able to spread our ideas
much in the cities, because The old
party daily papers are almost the
only paper taken by city people.
But in the country our weeklies
found field that they coult: enter
field open and partly pref 'aret TO-"
them by the farmer: Alliance. Gu.
advantage there, however, has been
noted, and the state and national
'rgans of plutocracy have determined
% crowd us out of that field if pos
sible. Through the associated press
news monopoly the Repu olican and
Democratic dailies are able to gather,
mould and SUPPRESS the news and
everybody must have the general
news, the Populists as we'll as the
rest. But less, comparatively little
attention hitherto been paid by the
dailies to the people who could not
take a daily - the farming class.
This class because of the value of
their votes and their drift toward the
Populist party, is claiming now the
shrewd, careful attention of the old
party leaders, and they have perfec-
ted scheme to hold all the votes
which we have not yet secured, and
to draw back as many as can, by
newspaper art and political tactics,
he led away from US. Our first
phenomenal party growth was made
before the old parties knew we were
to be feared. But as soon as the
ballot box showed our power, floods
Of misrepresentation, sophistry and
ridicule was poored out of the daily
dragon mouth to swollow us up. But
the distance from the cities has helped
the child of our hopes, and the party
in spite of all ingenious lying and the
prejudice it could create, has grown.
This is the scheme to hold, capture
and divide the farmer, And the
only way we can prevent this as a
party is for the rank and file to stir
themselves nightly to introduce and
help our papers. The people some
times forget that a reform paper
must have a mighty struggle to live
when such times come on us as we
ere staggering under. When indi-
viduals everywhere are punched and
poor the papers fighting their battles
must not be put OFT and work for it
forgotten. 1t is the single dollars
withheld which are its life. Its own
bills must be paid promptly, but adj
vertisers ard subscribers put off
what they often might pay. Take
care of your papers, those which you
know deserve to live and when times
are hard, work the harder to introduce
them and to gather u few dollars to
meet their pressing necessities. Re-
member, there is plan to kill out
and crowd out the Populist weeklies,
to get into homes ahead of them.

ponds on what you do now for your

MOST SUCCESSFUL RECITAL.
Miss Catherine Parker Made a Very
Favorable Impression.


Miss Catherine Parker last evening
made her debut on the professional
stage as an elocutionist, ut the Young
Mems Christian Association h all before
an audience limited only by the ca.
pacity of the hall.
The audience was composed Of Scran.
tons most cultured people and the
kindly enthusiasm with which Miss
Parker was ushered into her chosen
career, but presaged the success which
must surely attend this young artists
life.
OF pleasing delivery, with a thor
ough appreciation Of her authors
thought and Of most magnetic presence,
Miss Parker is possessed of the ele-
ments which must impress critics Of
this incest appreciation.
The most successful, perhaps. of Miss
Parker's readings was Austin Dohson's
beautiful Revolutionary Relic" This
was given with n clear comprehension
Of the meaning Of the poet and with q
strength and delicacy that was pleasing
not to friends alone but to all lovers Of
the best forms of elocution. This was
but one of the numbers and is but an
example,
Her selections ranged from nursery
rhymes, through comedy to tragedy.
and all were given with q most graft
flying ability.
or those whose assisted Miss Parker
one can but say that they with Miss
Parker formed a quartette OF young
women who were artists. Miss Kate
Hull Bundy is a pianist of depth of
feeling aud technique. In spite Of the
considerable drawback of a poor piano,
her work was most universally pleas
ing. Her rendering Of "Lutzow's Wild
Jagd" by Kullack, was beautiful and
elected uubounded applause. Miss
Bessie Bundy, the violinist.
played with "a most delightful
abandon though guided by O
sure knowledge, and in the execution oil
Godard's Concerto Romantique" car
ried all hearts with her. The violin
music was a strong feature Of the en-
tertainment.
Helen Boice. Hunsicker sang in q
clear, dramatic voice several beautiful
selections, and with the other young
ladies completed an eveni ng Of real en-,
joyment.

Beginning with next Friday morn
ing a nsw transfer ticket will be used
on the various street cars operating in
this city. The tickets will be issued in
pad form to conductors, and between
the new transfers and those now in
use there is a marked difference.
In the essential part. the matter of
transportation, there will be no change
from the rules already in force. A
passenger pays his nickel, asks and Oh
tains his transfer, presents 1t on the
connecting line and it is received in
lieu of 8 cents. They are to be used in
the same sense as limited steam rail-
way tickets.
The new transfer is Of paper and is
perhaps six times as large as the old
one. They will not, as in the past, be
issued indiscriminntsly. Passengers
must specify which line they desire to
be transferred to and conductors will
punch that line in the ticket, after
which it is worthless on auy other
line.
