Rev. w. L. Thorpe, presiding elder,
conducted Saturday nights quarterly
conference of the Dunmore Methodist
Episcopal church and preached to the
congregation yesterday morning.
During the conference, Rev. A. j.
Van Cleft, the pastor, reported twenty
five new members. Daniel Powell. bur-
CESS of Dunmore borough, made a re-
port as superintendent of the Sunday
school. There were reports by A. b..
Baker as recording steward and class
leader, and by Mr.. Richards as treas
urer and class leader. Altogether the
business of the meeting showed the
church to be in very active and pros
porous state.
Yesterday morning large congre-
cation was in the church at $50 O'Clock,
when began a love feast conducted by
Presiding Elder Thorpe. He preached
during the later regular morning SER
vice from the text BE not weary in
well-doing" The discourse was one of
much comfort and encoura cement to
professed Christians. The Lords Sup
per was administered during this SER
vice.
THE PASTOR SPOKE.
In the evening Pastor Van Cleft
preached from the text 1T is /, be not
afraid" Matthew, xiv:27, the familiar
words uttered by Christ on the sea of
Galilee. The topic was Lessons from
the Storm"
The first lesson was on prayer. Christ
always fortified himself through prayer
for the work He had in hand. 1t was
a principle with Him first, a practice
next He pursued it not as a chance
in His favor but as a firmly established
law of God, something prescribed and
laid down for Christians to follow. It's
importance and efficacy had testimony
in the memorable prayer of the Savior
on the mount when he spent the night
praying for His disciples.
Storms other than that on the sea
of Galilee furnish lessons. Each has
some connection with spirituality.
Worldly storms, though seemingly
harsh and grievous. may be turned into
victories for the sufferer and the love
of God. Man is constructed almost
without limitations and each victory
he acquires through the best use of his
remarkable God-givon powers Is an ac-
complishment in testimony of his
Maker.
UNDER HIS CARE.
The storm illustrates that man is
always under the watchful care of the
Savior, who is interested in us and
who will come to our help in due time
When the Savior comes we do not al
ways recognize Him as did not the
disciples when He was walking on the
sea. The disciples were moving in the
direction Christ had told them to go
1t shows that one can only hope for
salvation when seeking Him. 1t was
the saving of Peter from the waters
when going toward Christ, by which
we learn that salvation comes to us
only through Him.

Romeo B4rtx Drowned.

Romeo A. Bartz, the 17-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Hugo Bartz of this
city, was drowned while bathing in the
Mussel Fork with dozen or more
other boys near his fathers resi-
dence, at half-past s o'clock, Satur-
day evening, June 18th, 1893. The
deceased was promising young man,
and enjoyed the confidence and
esteem of large circle of friends,
over whom his untimely death has cast
sad and melancholy gloom. His
parents are prostrated with grief at
the loss of their son, but are resigned
to the will of Him who doeth all things
well. The sad and deplorable acci-
dent occurred just below the mill-dam
at the Keytesville Touring mill and was
caused by Romeo's getting into
whirlpool or suction hole produced
by the heavy fall of water over the
dam. 1t was something over three
hours before the body was recovered,
but our noble citizens would have
worked for days and nights had it
been necessary to restore the precious
tenement of clay to the fond parents,
loving brother and devoted sisters.
Romeo was kind and dutifuI son,
rconfdlng and affectionate brother, gen.
ial and companionable with his young
associates. Indeed, his exemplary char
acter and moral worth were observed
and appreciated by our entire COM
munity. While Mr.. and Mrs. Bartz
are sorely grIeved by the sudden and
unexpected death of their son, yet the
cordial sympathy extended to them on
the part of friends and neighbors in
their bereavement has softened the
pangs of sorrow and tempered their
afliction with love and gratitude for
such expressions of disinterested kind
ness.
The funeral services. were conducted
at the family residence, Rev. J. r.
Finley, pastor of the Presbyterian
church At this place, making an ap-
and impressive talk on the
occasion. The remains were then
tenderly conveyed to the Keytesville
cemetery, where Elder l.. J. Marshall,
pastor of the Christian church, closed
the services by prayer and short and
address, after which all that
was mortal of Romeo Bartz was con-
signed to mother earth to await the
morn.
