It is only an apostate Christianity
that asserts that the Christ has moth
ing to do with politics. The reign of
Christ will never be unless it comes
as a political reign. The notion that
it can come otherwise is the accursed
fruit of that worst and blacklist of all
heresies-the heresy that religion is
one thing and life another.-Geo. D.

cts not very good scheme to
prophesy unless you know" This
saying was doubly verified in the ball
game between the Demoresis Of
Williamsport and the Normals last
MoAGay. The Demorests had play
ed very close and exciting ID inn

Transport, a week before, and of
course large crowd turned out on
Monday expecting to see a good
game and get their moneys worth.
But oh, what disappointment, the
score was Normal II, Demorests

paresis exhibition. A lot of little

witnessed such degree of rotten

The lecture III the Presbyterian
church by Mrs. Barykat, native
of Syria was one of the most able,
literary and pathetic deliverances
we have ever listened to- She gave
a history of her own life in the huts
of Lebanan, her conversion through
the American Missionaries, the per-
secutions she endured from the
members of her own family, her re-
ception into the homes of the mis-
sionaries, her education by the
members of a Sunday school in
Philadelphia, her missionary work
in Egypt, the awful scenes Of Mo-
hammedan persecution there; from
which she, her husband and her
little girl escaped to a British ship
and made their way to America
these thrilling recitals were given
with vividness that was startling
her manner was interesting, earnest
and her words electrifying. She
| was here under the auspices of the
w. G. 7. U. Her closing words
picturing the Glory of America, the
wonderful stream of blessing it ha:
sent out to all the world was follow
ed by burning words of shame a.
she told of the curse which is allow
ed to 60 on, eating out her very
vitals. Americas great DANCE,
was from within the rule of poll
tics and the blight of rum" Th'
audience gave her their undivided
attention, and a deep impression
was evidently made.
