Incsudinrism In a Mining Town,

Nanticoke, Pa, May S.-A disastrous
fire occurred in Glen Lyon, amining town
five miles from Nanticoke, yesterday.
1t originated In Kennedy's hotel, and
that structure was entirely consumed,
together with a large dwelling house
and bottling works. The fire was the
work of an incendiary. The hose car
rying the water to the flats were cut
in three places, totally destroying their
use, and but for the heavy downpour
of rain the whole town would have
been destroyed. The inmates narrowly
escaped with their lives.

From the Coming Nation.
Turgot said: God, by giving to man
wants and making his recourse to work
necessary to supply them, has made the
right to work the property of every
man, and this property is the first. the
most sacred, the most imprescriptible of
ALL" This right to work is the right to
worship. The clink of the anvil and
the hum of the harvest field, the music
of the poet and the meditations of the
inventor are chords in the anthem Of
creation and the hymns of praise The
utterance of life is a song, a symphony
of nature.
God made; man makes. In being
born to labor, man was born creator. 1t
is the toiling millions in the field and
forest and study, on the sea and shore
and in the city, with the spindle and
hammer, the plough, the pen, gather
ing the fruits of the earth, rearing the
races of men and animals, exploring,
inventing, pruning, combining, cross
fertilizing, re-creating men, animals
and plans, who are the incarnation Of
God, the only true and universal church.
The kingdom Of heaven is not to De
taken by storm, but by days labor.
Honest labor, useful labor, labor under
the law, is the spiritual utterance Of the
energies Of man. This is the sacred right
