Quiet at HaZelton.

n, Hazelton, Pa., Sept. 15.-A calm per- vaded Hazelton and its environs eo- day. The strikers maintain silence and good order. An extra guard was plac- ed about the company stores at Latimer today in consequence of rumor that the foreigners were plotting to blow up the building with dynamite. They have ceased dealing there and are now buying their provender in Hazslton. Some are going so far as to move into town.
 For some reason which could not be learned extra vigilance was maintained at the camp of the Ninth regiment at Hazel Park today. The guard was strengthened and not soldier was per mitted to leave camp. The fourth regi- ment shifted from Auderied to Dgifton this afternoon and established a camp on the hills. There is no indication of trouble. but Gen.. Gobin means to keep every locality guarded and he sent 4he regiment there because the miners in

and many of those who mingled in
that merry husking scene have them
selves been reaped like as a shock OF
corn cometh in in his season."
There is difference of opinion as to
whet Their the orientals knew anything
about the corn as it stands in our fields;
but recent discoveries have found out
that the Hebrews knew oil about In
dian maize for there have been grains
of the corn picked up out of ancient
crypts and exhumed from hiding places
where they were put down many CEN
turtles ago, and they have been planted
in our time and have come up just such
Indian maize as we raise in New York
and Ohio; SO l am right when say
that my text may refer to a shock of
corn just as you and bound it, just as
you and 1 threw it, just as you and
husked it. There may come some
practical and useful and comforting
lessons to all our souls while we think
of coming in at last "lilse shock of
corn coming in in his season."
1t is high time that the King Of Ter.
rors were thrown out of the Christian
vocabulary. A vast multitude of peo-
Pile talk of death as though it were the
disaster OF disasters instead of being to
a good man the blessing OF blessings.
1t is moving out of cold vestibule
into a warm temple. 1t is migrating
into groves of redolence and perpetual
fruitage. 1t is change from bleak
March to roseate June. 1t is a change
of manacles for garlands. 1t is the
transmitting of the iron hand
cuffs of earthly incarceration
into the diamond wristlets of
l. dol o.t- << y,
of my text, it is only huslking time. It
is the tearing off of the rough sheath
of the body that the bright and the
beautiful soul may go free. Coming in
like shock of corn cometh in in his
senson." Christ broke up funeral
procession at the gate of Main by max
ing a resurrection day for young man
and his mother. And I would that l
could break up your sadness and halt
the long funeral procession of the
worlds grief by some cheering and
cheerful view of the last transition.
We all know that husking time was
IL time OF frost. Frost on the fence.
Frost on the stubole. Frost on the

Der we used to hide behind the corn

still you remember how shivering was
the body and how painful was the

the air, and hilarities awakened the
echoes and Joy from one corn shock

they go away from us we stand be-

think you would. I know you would.
1 remember that in the husking time
there was great equality of feeling
among the neighbors. There at one
corn shock farmer would be at work
who owned 200 acres of ground.
The man whom he was talking with
at the next corn shock owned but 80
acres of ground, and perhaps all COW
cred by mortgage. That evening, at
the close of the husking day, one man
drove home roam span SO frisky, SO
full OF life. they got their feet over the
traces. The other man walked home.

if the husk could have spoken it would
have said: ''Why do you lacerate me?
Why do you wrench me? All! my
friends, that is the way God has ar
ranged that the ear and the husk shall
part. and that is the way He has ar
ranged that the body and soul shall
separate. You can afford to have your
physical distresses when you know
that they are only forwarding the
souls liberation. Every rheumatic
pain is only a plunge of the husking
peg. Every neuralgia twinge is only
twist by the husker. There is gold in
you that must come out. Some way
the shackle must be broken. Some
way the ship must be launched for
heavenly voyage. You must let the
mortality from the immortality.
There ought to be great consolation
in this for all who have chronic all
ments, since the Lord is gradually and
more mildly taking away from you
that which hinders your souls liberia
ton, doing gradually for you what for
many of US in robust health, perhaps.
He will do in one fell blow at the last.
At the close Of every illness, at the
close of every paroxysm you ought to
say: ''Thank God, that is all past now;
thank God, will never have to suffer
that again; thank God, am so much
nearer the hour of liberation" You
will never suffer the same pain twice.
You may have . new pain in an old
place. but never the same pain twice.
The pain does its work and then it
dies. Just SO many plunges of the
crowbar to free the quarry stone for
the building. Just SO many strokes of
the chisel to complete the statue. Just
SO many pangs to separate the soul
from the body. You who have chronic
ailments and disorders are only paying
in installments that which some US
will have to pay in one payment when
we pay the debt Of nature. Thank
God, therefore. ye who have chronic
disorders, that you have so much less
suffering at the last. Thank God that
you will have SO much less to feel in
the way of pain at the hands of the
heavenly husbandman when 1.-The
shock of corn cometh in in his season."
Perhaps now this may be an answer
to a question which 1 asked one Sab
bath morning. but did not answer:
Why is it that 50 many really good
people have so dreadfully to suffer?
You often find good man with enough
pains and aches and distresses, you
would think, to discipline q whole
colony, while you will find a man who
is perfectly useless going around with
easy digestion and steady nerves and
shining health, his exit from the
world is comparatively painless. How
do you explain that? Well, noticed
in the husking time that the husking
peg was thrust into the corn and then
there must be stout pull before the
swathIng was taken of the ear, and
the full, round. healthy, luxuriant corn
was developed; while on the other
hand there was corn that hardly
seemed worth husking. We threw
that into place all by itself and we
called 'nubbins."
Some of it was mildewed, and some
of it was mice-nibbled, and some of it
was great promise and no fulfillment.
All cobs and no corn. Nubblns! After
the good corn had been driven up to
the barn we came around with the
