WEST SIDE EVENTS.
Keyser Valley Region Becoming Motor.
ious for Its Lawlessuess...TwO Hun.
garians Brutally Assaulted.

. Lawlessness Is becoming more and
more general in the Keyser Valley re-
gion. There Is a gang of tough young
men back there and they seem to have
picked out the foreign element as es-
pecial objects of their thugery. Early
yesterday morning Peter Patrick and
John Lucas, two Hungarians, whose
homes are on Continental hill. were
waylaid and assaulted by these men on
the highway near the Hampton switch,
Keyser Valley While the two Hun
garians were held to the ground the
thugs robbed them of 81 and SIS each.
For several hours Patrick lay on the
road in an unconscious condition from
the effects of blow on the head.
At daybreak the men went to DR..
Halbert's office. where the wound on
Patrick's head was dressed. Dr. Hal
bert says that the wound Is not dan
gerous. Lucas was roughly handled,
but shows no severe hurt. The three
highwaymen are not known. County
Detective Leyshon is at work on the
case. Lucas and Patrick We're about
the streets yesterday.
Michael Gallagher was assaulted
Thursday night in Keyser Valley. He
was walking down the road near the
Hyde Park breaker, when two men
sprang upon him. He was laid uncon-
scious to the road by blow from a
club in the hands of oR of the men.
They took from him aFsmall sum of
money. Gallagher recognized one of
his assailants as Michael Whalen. He
does not know the other.
Sunday night Stanley Doer, Hun
garan. was struck by billiard cue
in the saloon OF Patrick McGovern. on
Luzerne street. 1t was at first thought
that Doer would die. but yesterday and
last evening he improved so greatly,
that the physicians now say there is
no danger James Dacey. Patrick Gal
lagher and Martin McNicolas, three
young men, Were arrested for the as
sault They entered bail in the sum of
$1,000 each to appear at court.
McNicholas, the young man men,
toned in the Doer assault. on the same
night beat his mother at their home
on I.uzerne street. He was held in
bail.

do we not stultify ourselves when we pre-

people did not have infirmities or weak
nesses in the matter of prayer Hence the
work Of the Spirit in this matter must be q
continuous one-he will show our sins
and thus lead us to confession; he will
show US our wants and thus lead us to the
matter OF petition; he will show us the
blessings of God and thus help us in the
matter Of thanksgiving; he will show us
the dangers of the lost, and thus help US
in the matter Of intercession and in many
other ways will he help us in the matter Of
prayer We are led by the statements Of
the eighth chapter Of Romans to believe
that there Is peculiar part of expression
In the matter of prayer that only the
Spirit can perform His helpfulness comes
IN groanings that cannot be uttered. To
excite these in the one who prays is the
peculiar work Of the Spirit. They seem to
be essential to the right spirit Of prayer in

the work OF the school OF prayer goes on.

plain teaching of the word Of God. If this

gether for this very purpose? There are
now few societies in our own and other
lands which have taken this name Of 1.-The
Mothers Endeavor Society,"" and are reg
ularly organized and pledged to do this
work.
There ought to be in every church. by
whatever name It may be called. some or
ganization that will be in very truth a
mothers endeavor society, an organization
whose definite purpose should be not only
prayer, hut prayer and work for the chill
dren. There are already in many of our
churches maternal associations and ladies'
prayer meetings. having for their object, in
part at least, to pray for the children.
Why could not these organizations pledge
themselves definitely to do this work in
cooperation with the Junior endeavor so
cieties even II they do not care to change
their own name or have more formal or
ganization?
Plans for Helping the Children.
Why should there not be in every
ladies' prayer meeting or maternal asso-
ciat1on a Junior committee, whose work
should be to consult with the junior su-
perintendent and report to the meeting
any plans for helping the children? The
junior superintendent might be invited TO
come once a II onth or once a quarter to
the mothers meeting to give Q five-minute
talk about her work. Its encouragements
and perplexities and needs. 1t would be
her opportunity to appeal to the mothers
Aoi tAAcii hcip anu COuuSel anu prayer.
Could 1t not be planned that occasionally
the little Junior secretary or president
should attend the mothers meeting and
give a report of the work? Perhaps the
members Of the sunshine committee or
&c me other committee might some time 20
together to the mothers meeting and tell
how they are trying to do their part of
the work. and ask for the prayers Of the
mothers. Perhaps too. it might be possible
to plan as often as once year to have a
union meeting of the mothers and the
juniors, when both societies could learn
more Of each others work and be drawn
into close sympathy.
The meetings of the maternal associa-
ton in many churches are held every
month, and many heartfelt prayers are
offered for the children. and yet the chfI-
dren themselves know little or nothing
about 1t, and there is nothing done in the
way of following up these prayers, and SO
the definite results are not what they might
be.
1t sometimes happens, too, that in the
course OF time these mothers meetings
come to be largely grandmothers' meetings
tend.
1t would be very helpful not only to the
Evening star., 1896-07-10

the pleasantest social of all in the year
Let the mothers occasionally give the chill
dren pleasant surprise in the shape Of a
new banner, or some new pledge cards or
any other little thing the juniors may be
needing, and new link between them
would be forged.
If some such, plans were put into prac-
tice should we not see not only more chill
dren coming into the church and growing
up to be earnest workers there, but also
more mothers who were living really con-
secrated lives. and who were themselves
walking more carefully in the way they
would see their children walk?
Many existing maternal associations
would have more real life and earnestness
II they were better organized for definite
work, with perhaps a lookout committee to
bring In new members, and prayer meet
ing committee to select topics and arrange
leaders for the meetings. and a social COM
mittee to arrange for an occasional soc.able
to which not only the mothers but some
times the babies, should be invited, with a
committee Of juniors to entertain them
Something Of this sort would put new life
into many dead-and-alive ladies' prayer
meeting. and If the mother were thus
working with and for the children, 1t would
be a real Mothers Endeavor Society, by
whatever name 1t might be called.
May Gods blessing rest upon all the
mothers who are trying in any way to
bring the children to Christ, and may this
be year when many children shall hear
the voice Of their Savior saying to them
Come unto Me" God grant that very
many Of them may indeed come to Him.
and may begin in a simple childlike way
to be about their Fathers business.

Mrs. C1nrk's Address.
The devotional exercises, consisting Of
responsive Scripture reading and prayer,
were led by Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson Of
Anacostia, Lnd at their conclusion Rev.
John T. Beckley Of New York, who pre-
sided over the meeting, In the absence Of
President w. r. Harper of Chicago, intro
duced Mrs. Francis E. Clark, the wife Of
the founder of Christian Endeavor, and
she was given the Chautauqua salute Of
waving handkerchiefs Mrs. Clark smiling
ly acknowledged the compliment, and pro-
ceeded in clear tones to read a paper on
The Mothers Society of Christian En-
deavor.' 1t was follows:
The whole object and purpose Of the
Mothers Society Of Christian Endeavor is
really included in the first sentence of their
pledge Trusting the Lord Jesus Christ
for strength. 1 promise Him that I will
strive to do vi atever He would have me
do, especially that 1 will endeavor to bring
the children to Christ and to train them
for Him." Surely Christian mothers every
where desire above all things to draw
nearer Christ themselves, and to bring
their children to Him and train them for
His service. Is there any better way 20
do this than by banding themselves to-
