Politics and Religion,


One of the Methodist churches OF
the city of Reading, according tC
published statements, is greatly dis
turbed and the disruption of the con
gregation threatened by the intro
duction OF too much politics in tin
pulpit, 1t appears that the troubl,
dates back to the Sunday immedi
ately preceding the recent election.
The pastor, Rev. Robert DeBow
had invited "A brother minister, Rev
James Van Kirk, to occupy his pulpit
and preach the sermon. The latter
improved the occasion to do little
"electioneeringo for his friend, Rev.
DIR. Swallow, then the Prohibition
candidate for Governor. He paid Il
high tribute to his favOrite candidate
and had a good deal to say, that was
not complimentary, about the other
candidates and parties.
No sooner had Rev. Van Kirk con
cluded his political sermon than
Pastor DeBow stepped into the pulpit
and in forcible language dissented
from and even denounced the senti-
ments expressed by biz Swallowite
brother. As was 10 be expected, the
congregation quickly divided, some
upholding Pastor DeBow and others
standing by Brother Van Kirk.
The situation did not improve dur
ing the following few weeks and mum
erous members gave notice of their
determination to sever their relations
with the church. At this juncture
Pastor DeBow handed in his resigna-
ton, deening that course the shortest
road to the restoration of peace and
harmony. His adherents were deter
mined he should not leave them, and,
claiming that they were in the ma
jority, offered him an increase of $500
in his salary if he would withdraw
his resignation. After having con
sidered the matter he consented to
remain.
In the meantime, however, the Off
cial board OF the church, (Which was
controlled by the Swallowites,) gave
a call to Rev. DIR. Kahn, which he ac-
cepted. If Pastor DeBow is not re
tanned his adherents will withdraw
from the church, and If he is retained
the Swallowite members will with
draw, so that in either event there il
the prospect of a disrupted congre
cation.
This is only another of many forme
illustrations of the unwisdom of in
Producing partisan politics into tn
pulpit, especially when the congrega
tion is mixed as to its politics, a
ninety-nine per cent, of the congre
cations are. If somebody would onl
devise some method by which religion
could be successfully Infected int
politics, without injecting polite
into religion, a world of troubl
would be avoided.
But it seems to he so much NOR
difficult TO infuse religion into pol
tics than politics into religion.

A KELLEY MOTOR SECRET.

1t Is Not Revealed, But Is Said to Re
Encouraging"
Philadelphia, Dec. 21.-The first meet
ing of the stockholders of the Keely
Motor company since the death of John
w. Eeely, the inventor, was held in
this city yesterday, at which Charles
s. Hill, attorney for the inventors
widow, made the statement that Mr..
keely's secret does not exist in manu-
script, but that keely had made re-
quest before his death that 7. b. Kin
raid, of Boston. was the one man VINO
could successfully carry out his idea.
AS a result Of this statement a long
and at tiWes spirited discussion en-
sued as to what course should be pur-
sued 1t was finally agreed to leave
the entire matter i'm the hands of the
board Of directors.
After Mi Hill had made his state
meut he announced that he had Sc
cret which he would impart to one man.
This communication, he said, was of
nature to encourage the stockholders
and to induce them to leave it in Kin
raids hands for one year. John j.
Smith, one of the directors of the com
pany. was appointed to confer with the
lawyer. The two went into another
room and in about ten minutes Mr..
Smith returned and made this an
nouncement: II have been intrusted
with weighty matters. Not willing to
decide hastily | must ask an adjourn
ment for three hours" This was
agreed to.
The stockholders met again last
night, and Mr.. Smith reported that he
was not yet thoroughly satisfied as to
what would be best to advise but that
the secret impaired to him by Mr. Hill
afforded great encouragement to the
stockholders. Mr.. Smith could not
be induced to make public any of the
information given him. After discus

COMING TO TERMS.
The Traction Company May Re-establish
the Old Rate of Fare.

The Traction Company May Re-establish
the Old Rate of Fare.
There is a movement on foot in Ashland,
says the Telegram, to persuade members of
Council of that town to make certain con-
cessions to the schuyl1ill Traction
Company, by which the five cent
rate of fare between Ashland and
Girardville may be re-estabished. 1t is
also stated that still further concession
will be made on the part of the railway com
pany by which workingmen may ride as far
as they may wish to go, from Locust Dale to
Gilberton, for instance, for five cents unless
they should transfer from one car to another.
In NUTSHELL the man on his way to work can
ride as far as the destination of the car tina t
he starts out on for five cents.
1t is said the Traction Company is willing
to make this concession if the Ashland Coun-
ell will modify the present car tax of $40 for
each car running in the borough, making the
annual tax 500. This would be reduction
of 80 per cent. The company also wants
concession on the tax recently placed on their
polls; in fact, will ask for a general revision
Of the ordinances.
Manager Ash and Solicitor Mari are now
in Philadelphia consulting with the officials
of the company. 1t is said majority of the
members of Council are favorable to the
concessions asked for.
1t will be noted that this does not include
a reduction of the fare between this town
and Girard yille, and it behooves the au-
thorities of Shenandoah and Girardvile,
to proceed on the lines indicated above
to bring the company to terms in order
that the old rate of fare may be re-
established. 1t can be done, if the authori-
ties will act

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with your
water and let it stand twenty -four hours :
a sediment or settling indicates an unheal-
thy condition of the kidneys if it stains
your linen it is evidence of kidney trouble /;
too frequent desire to pass it or pain in the
back is also convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy ful6lls every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the
urinary passages. 1t corrects inability to hold
water and scalding pain in passing it, Or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity OF
being compelled to go often during the day,
and to get up many times during the night.
The mild and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. 1t stands the
highest for its wonderful cures of the most
distressing cases. If you need medicine you
should have the best. At druggists fifty cents
