QUAY AND PLATT.
They Unite on sherman for Speaker
Reeds Successor.

They Unite on sherman for Speaker
Reeds Successor.
Quay and Platt have formed a
combination to put Sherman in the
Speakers chair. Eighteen of the
twenty Pennsylvania members have
agreed to put their votes at Quay's
disposal, and he has passed the
word to settle on Sherman against
any Western man, but to make COM
binations to retain Mcdowell in the
clerkship, forcing the West to be
content with the Doorkeeper, Ser
geant at Arms, Postmaster and
Chaplain. Even Mcdowell may be
sacrificed, however, to seat Sher-
man.
The reason for the trade is the
securing of Platt's influence to seat
Quay on Gov. Stones certificate.
Platt expects to deliver the Eastern
senatorial vote solid for Quay in re.
turn for the support of the Pennsyl-
vanian dictator to Sherman. Ad-
ministration men have taken alarm
at this powerful combination of the
two big Eeastern bosses, which is
believed to contemplate the seating
of Quay in the Senate, the election
of Sherman as Speaker, and, subse-
quently, the placing of Reed in
training for 1900 as candidate
against Mckinley.
This last may be only threat, but
it is admitted that the condition of
Quays support of Sherman is to be
the delivery by Platt Of enough sem
atOrial votes to put Quay safely in
his seat for six years more-or at
least until the next Legislature is
chosen, which he will take care to
see is favorable to him.-Washing-
ton telegram to the Chicago Tribune

The war department officials are
very much gratified with the tone of
the reply of Gen. Otis to the Fill
pino delegation. 1t is considered as
comporting with the dignity of the
United States. 1t would not be pos
sible for the United States to recog-
nize the existence of the Filipino
government. 1t is believed that
when Gen. Otis reply is communi-
Gated to the Filipino commanders
that they will ask another confer

LOCAL OPTION.
The Question Again Considered by Citi-

The Question Again Considered by Citi-
zens of Lewisburg.
LEwIsBURG, April PA number
of our citizens met Tuesday night to
consider the question of local option
again since the new law was passed
by the General Assembly, making
towns under 1000 hereafter incorpo-
rated free from the liquor traffic.
They decided to circulate petition
at once asking the Commissioners of
the town TO abolish the taxing dis
trict, and then reincorpOrate the
town in order to get the benefit of
the new law. This will be quite an
interesting experiment, as Lewis
burg had 2,060 inhabitants about two
years ago.

Oct. Both and gave an account OF the stu

appeared TO the young soldier.
He thinks the insurgents have murdered
their own cause and says that "They may
think they have been fighting for those
principles that glorify nations history,
bat they have been fighting for a few
bright, INSCRIPTIONS leaders, who thought
they saw fortunes and fame in opposing
the United States in its rightful authority.
And for this reason they have been scat

Bishop Hail in Randolph.

On Dec 10, the second Sunday in Adj
vent, Bishop A. z. A. Hall, ID. d., OF the
diocese OF Vermont, ofiiciated in both of
the Episcopal parishes OF the town. He
was at Grace church, Randolph Center, in
the morning, where the service consisted
OF the offices OF baptism, confirmation and
holy communion. One adult was baptised
by the rector and two persons were con-
tirmed by the bishop. The bishop was
also celebrant at the communion service
and preached an Advent sermon from the
text; "Beloved, now are we the sons of
God, and 1t doth not yet appear what we
shall be; but we know that, when we shall
appear, we shall be like him, for we shall
see him as he is. NJ John, $50.
The sermon taught that the aspiration
OF our hearts should be tobe likeChrist that
our lives should grow more and more like
his in all the relations OF liie-d0mestic,
social, political, moral and religious.
Christ came to lead us in the path OF ho-
illness ana to teach us to be like him. We
should not regard our discipleship as
sort OF life insurance to save us from de-
served punishment Salvation is not the
being saved from the consequences OF our
sins, but the being saved from our sins.
We should make ourselves worthy 10 be
the sons OF God, and then, when Christ
shall appear, we shall be like him.
The service in st. Johns church was in
the evening at O'Clock and the church
was filled with very attentive congrega-
ton. Evening prayer Was said and then
the bishop preached powerful sermon
on the su ject OF modern criticism OF the
Bible, its effect upon belief in inspiration
and the regard which should be paid to IT..
The text was, "All scripture is given
by inspiration OF God, and is profitable
for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness."-2T Tim.
othy 3:i6. IL wss a sermon that could be
listened to with equal interest and in
struction by both believers and unbe-
levers. A brief abstract can not do JUS
tice to the preacher, nor to the theme, but
we can only give from memory a few
leading points OF the discourse.
The Bible is not book OF science, cy-
clopedia OF universal knowledge. It's
writer's we're not inspired with knowl-
edge OF astronomy geology and chemistry,
and, in the times in which they wrote,
there was no way of gaining correct
knowledge OF those sciences except by In
SEPARATION. They had the knowledge of the
| times and OF their contemporaries. The
| Bible is a book OF moral and religious in
struction, ''for instruction in righteous
ness" It's writers we're inspired to that
end and to no other. Whether man
was created from the dust by one supreme
effort, or Whsth her he reached his present
position ana likeness to God by SLOW
/ process and through long ages OF evolu-
| lion is OF no Importance, religiously,
! though OF scientific interest. He is here
now. however he came, and the Bible was
given to instruct him in Righteousness.
The Bible is a collection OF books OF his
tory, biography, prophecy, poetry, epis.
ties, or letters, etc, written by dineren'

men during different times, stretching
at least through fourteen hundred years,
and it is a gradual revelation OF divine
knowledge and OF Gods will suited to the
capacity and understanding OF the people
TO whom and for whom its different parts
were given. Ii it had been couched in
modern language and filled with modern
scientific knowledge, 1t never would have
been understood or accepted by those an
cient people for whose guidance and in.
strCction in righteousness 1t was primarily
given. The Bible should be read book by
book, inteIligently, devoutly, prayeriully,
its wisdom absorbed, its instruction heed
ed and acted upon, that our lives may be
made righteous through the righteous
ness which il teaches.
