Scott McClelland Got Left.

1t was mentioned in this paper last
week that the members Of the Knights
of Pythias Of Reynoldsville proposed to
treat their wives, few friends and
themselves to an oyster supper in the
X. of p. hall Wednesday evening, and
have real social time. They were not
disappointed in their intended plans,
and oysters in abundance, with ham
sandwiches, coffee, cake, &c. to top-off
on, were on the bill of fare. A large
number besides the members were
present. Songs, speeches and cake
walks were some of the amusements to
aid in digesting the oysters, &c. Hon.
A. G. White, Of Brookville, Republican
nominee for Congress, was present and
made a speech for the edifcation of the
assemblage. The cake walks especially
the one in which Scott McClelland,
vice-president Of the First National, and
an old English lady of Dubois came out
ahead and won cake, created consid-
cradle amusement. The old lady got
the cake, and when Scott asked her II
she was going to cut it and give him a
piece, she informed him emphatically
that she would do nothing of the kind.
She said; "The likes OF you get cake
every day and my old man does not, so
| will take this home and il will do for
his bucket for week" The old lady
did take it home and Scott did not even
get smell of the cake for which he
had so exerted himself in the pedes-
trianism contest that sensible moisture
was excreted from his skin, one of the
unusual things to occur with Scott.

The program and social had been ar
ranged with the expectation that the

not come. The program for the even
ing consisted of quotations from Long
fellow in response when the roll was
called, also recitations and select read
ings from Longfellow and biography
of the famous poet. After the literary
feast was disposed of social was in Or
der and the good things provided by the
maidens fair, which would have been
enjoyed by the most fastidious epi-
curean, were partaken of unsparingly by
all present The literary program and
social were pronounced success.

Dens Of Iniquity Must go.

On last Sunday morning Rev. John
son, pastor OF the Presbyterian church,
delivered a very practical sermon from
the text, Rev. 1913. The following are
some of his statements to which we give
space 1.-THE garments of the indi-
vidual church, like those of the great
church mentioned in the text, are COM
posed OF the righteousness of the church
members. II these members sin, to
that extent do they soil the garments
Of the church. The churches of Reyn-
oldsville, and our own dear Presby-
terian church, are not unstained. am
personally acquainted with worldly per-
sons in them all, and it grieves me, for
| love them all. | prefer church OF
fifty true christians to one of three hun
dred worldly members. I was put to
shame at license court to think | had
taken no legal step to demoish the sa-
loon. But one remonstrance was sent in
from this place. God organized the
church just as men organize an army,
for active and aggressive work. The
church, or church member, that will
not work, makes a slanderous farce ont
of the christian religion. We need to
work, for the majority of our young men
and women are pitiably undeveloped,
and many of them are being swept away
from us in mighty tides of vilest sin. |
have learned that there are houses Of ILL
fame about our town, and know that we
haye young men visiting them. This
keeps them out Of our churches, for 1t
is one of the most soul cursing of sins.
There are gambling places also, and
now give notice that II these things are
not driven hence by those whose place
II is to attend to such business, | shall
take the matter in hands myself, no
matter what befalls me. II you know
of any dens of iniquity, IT Is your duty
to inform the officer who can look after
them. ] believe him to be fearless
man who will do his duty. II he is
afraid am not. 1t is shame that a
minister should be forced to the front
in these matters, but l shall expect the
support of this church If must act.
also give notice that any church men,
ber who signs an application for liquor
license in the future, will be dealt with
before the church, for no man is chris
tian who will invite a curse on humani-
ty in this wayn
