What is n Christian?

"Christ did not come to cramp any
ones manhood: He came to broaden it,"
writes the Rev. John Watson, ID. ID.
t'Ian McClaren''), on IA Young Mans
Religious Life" in the Lodies' Home
Journal. "He did not come to destroy
our manhood; He came to fulfill 1t. A
thoroughgoing Christian is man with
stronger reason, kinder heart, firmer
will, and richer imagination than his
Yellowstone who has attained to his
height in Christ. A bigot, or Il prig,
or weakling is Il half-developed
Christian, one not yet arrived at full
age.
"What ought Christian to read?
Every book which feeds the intellect.
Where ought he to go? Every place
where the moral atmosphere Is pure
and bracing. What ought he to do?
Everything that will make character.
Religion is not negative, Il giving up
this aud that, but positive, a getting
and possessing. If u man will be CON
tent with nothing but the best thought,
best work, best friends, best environ
ment, he need not trouble about avoiding
the worst. The good drives out the bad.
There are two ways OF lighting a dark
room one Is to attack the darkness
with candles: The other is to open the
shutters and let in the light. When
| light comes, darkness goes. There are
two ways Of forming character: one is
to conquer our sins, the other is to
cultivate the opposite virtues. The
latter plan is best because it is surest-
the virtue replaces the sin.
"Christianity is not drill: it is life
| full, free, radiant and rejoicing. What
man should do is not to vex himself
about his imperfections, but to fix his
mind on the bright image of Perfection
not to weary his soul with rules, but tc
live with Christ as one liveth with {
friend. There is one way to complete
manhood, and that is, fellowship with

Next Tuesday is election day, and
every loyal citizen of the boroughs and
townships should make it Il point to go
to the polls and vote for the best men,
regardless Of politics. If your party
has nominated good trustworthy men,
then vote the straight ticket, but don't
vote the ticket simply because its your
party ticket When it comes to munich
pal or township offices, politics should
not stand in the way of voter casting
his ballot for the candidate whom he
knows is the best fitted for the Office to
be filed. In the State or National
elections the voters have to depend al
most entirely on what others say of the
candidates seeking offices, and are gov
erned by the political complexion of the
candidate, but at the February election
for home government it is not so, every
candidate is known personally by the
voters. BY electing the best men from
the tickets placed in nomination
the political parties are forced to put
up the best men the party affords, be-
cause they know that the people are
not as likely to stick to party for munich
pal or township Offices as they are to
vote for the best men in the field.

The next generation of Pennsylva-
mans will not be nearly so much in
clined to drink rs the present one.
Any one who hears school boys talk
about the effect of alcohol and tobacco
upon the human system, and discuss the
lessons in temperance learned from
their text books or physiology and hy-
giene, can see that these studies are
fortifying their mind against intemper-
ance and immoderatiOn. When boys
come to be convinced that temperance
in eating and drinking is the real pana-
.cca for the ills of this life, that it keeps
the head clear, the digestion good, the
blood pure and the nerves strong. they
must be desperate fools II they will
plunge into the fOllies of excess.-Punx'
sutawney Spirit. 1t is to be hoped that
the sage of the SPIRIT reasons correctly
but there is room for doubt. One OF the
most successful ways of teaching is by
object lessons, and yet the drink habit
goes on and drunkards' graves are be
ing filed daily by victims who have
seen others wrecked on the rocks of in
temperance. So long us liquor is solo
there will be boys raised up to fill the
places of the miserable wretches wht
daily die from the ranks of the intem
perate. Saloons cannot be run without
bows no more than saw mill can be rur
without logs. The better way would bt
to remove the temptation.

1t was stated few years ago that the
people of ReynOldsville did not care for
lectures, but that assertion cannot be
truthfully made to-day. All that was
necessary to prove that our people
could appreciate u good lecture was to
give them an opportunity to hear one.
Five years ago the Reynoldsville Lee
ture Association gave the people three
or four good lectures and the following
year the same Association booked four
good lectures and the people patronized
them to the extent that the Association
was able to pay all expenses. This is
the second course the public school has
given, under the able management OF
Prof. G. w. Lenkerd, and the people
have patronized them sufficiently to pay
all expenses. Our people enjoy the lee
lures SO thoroughly that they will here
after expect course every year. We
doubt II the lecturers find more
appreciative audiences anywhere else
than they do In Reynoldsville, and let
it be said here aud now that our people
can appreciate good solid lecture as
we'll as humorous one. This year there
was more humOr than anything else.
The lectures, however, we're all good with
the exception Of Eli Perkins. The
tickets wore extremely cheap this year,
$l.0O for tho five lectures. We believe
that just as many tickets could be sold
~ el.60 and that would give the public
school thb privilege Of getting higher
prioed men on the course next year.
