Fellowship.

been received into the State on letters
of transfer, and one had been transferred
to another State, leaving twenty-one
ministers upon our roll.
The Occasional Sermon.
On Tuesday evening. the Occasional
Sermon was delivered before large con-
gregation by Rev. F. w. Whippen, OF
Scranton, Rev. F. E. Adams assisting in
the services.
Mr.. Whippen took his text from l Cor.
XIV. 10: "Stand fast in the Faith" The
sermon was an able plea for the super
natural in religion on the ground Of it's
value; we are true to the mind of Jesus
in saying Christianity is for man, and
never so much so as today. The church
enters into every interest and need of
life. The church has become an every
day church and tries to minister to
every need. There is a danger indicated
in the use being made of the expression,
applied Christianity" as DR.. Miner
once remarked. devotion is a desirable
element Of religion but one must have
something to devote" One requisite Of
applied Christianity is to have the Chris
tianity to apply, and the speaker pro-
ceeded to define the faith as belief in
Jesus as the Son Of God who came down
from God and forth from the tomb.
Belief in the supernatural Christ
made Paul. Supernatural" is a word
that has been dragged about, but it had
the power of resistance and stands for a
reality and is the underpinning of
Christianity. The unfortunate thing
is not that men doubt the supernatural
but that they fail to see it's value.
A denial of the supernatural is logical
atheism. To give up the supernatural
is to give up God. A belief in the SUI
pernatural is valuable when we read
the Bible. in understanding and using

live.
We are asked to believe. not to know!
And the matter of belief is determined
by our will. We ought to bias ourselves
in favor of faith, as the doubter biases
himself in favor of his dc ubts. Chris
tianity is founded not on the aspiration
of man but on the grace Of God. Be be-
levers and be generous to yourselves in
believing faith, make your
belief large; there is no danger you will
believe too much.
The sermon commanded much at
tention and excited much comment by
courageous sincerity, its great ability
and it's moderate expression.
The conference meetings on Wednes-
day, led by Rev. F. e. Adams. and on
Thursday in charge of Rev. r. E. Horn,
were very we'll attended, and we're of
exceptional worth. The leaders present.

TOO GOOD TO KEEP.
The Temptation to Draw the deadly
Parallep' is tsO Great to
be Resisted.

From the Larned
ChrOHOScOpe of June IL:
without a hint of de-
probation of any OF the
lovely young girls
whom Larned has re-
luctantly yielded to
sUitOrs whose homes
are elsewhere, and who
will always be cordial
ly remembered, 1t is
safe to say that none
has been given up with
such general regret,
such real sorrow as
Nora Mccarthy, and
none has left Il vacancy
in the social life of the
town that will be so
hard to fill. 1t is doubt
full if there was ever
anyone in Lsrned so
universally popular,
who won without any
apparentefforts so much
affection and admira-
ton. And it has all
come because, with all
the graces and accom-
plishments of young
wOmanhOOd she has
retained the simplicity
and sin certify, the
cheeriness and sweet
ness and kindness of
childhood. There new
er was a blither spirit
or a SUMMER heart
There never was a dis
position less capable of
cherishing envy or
Jealousy or malice of
any sort. Admired and
petted and prsised as
she has been, she has
remained without a
trace of affectatiOn or a
ofselt-conscious-
ness. Having lived in
this city all her life her
range of acquaintance
is large, but she has
the gift, possessed by
but few women, of
greeting each one in
such a way as to make
them feel that they are
d particular friend. |
For many years she |
has taken an active |
part in all social events !
and her fine musical |
talent has been freely |
given to every good |
cause and has been a
part of nearly |
every musical pro
gram. 1t will be dis
,Ouraging to think of
getting up a program
without her. But what
will be missed the most
md the longest will be
Nora Mccarthy; the
OyOus, wholesome, in
ipirin g personality
which has won and
will always hold the
IffectiOnate homage of
III the town.
The groom was for
nerly a resident of
