The Pennsylvania
Flyer, $3.50

JUDGING by yesterdays selling. this
y will not be long story, but it is one
of the very best bicycle stories we have ever
told
There have been cheap bicycles before
but never one in our knowledge so really
cheap as this. 1t is cheaPness eSemplifed
and glorifed,- "a thoroughly frst-rate mount
built with skill and care and experience by
maker you all know ell,-with its price cut
to Thirteen Dollars and Half.
Plenty of women's models, but gong
fast. We call the machine 1.-The Pennsy-
vania Flyer" People experienced in wheels
will doubtless recognize it under the dis
guise of its new name-plate and will IN
stantly appreciate how remarkable the offer
is at $3.50.
It's an 1899 model, and leader. We
guarantee it fully, and take no chances IN so
doing. We know who made it.

MISSION WORK


OF the Synod Thoroughly Discussed by
Rev. HANNA.
At the English Lutheran Church Rev.
NJ w. HANNA, Of Washington, d. c.,
president CT the Home Mission Board
Of the General Synod, addressed the
Synod in the morning and large con-
grcgation in the evening. To the for
raer he spoke of the difficulties and en-
couragemeHts Of home mission work,
and also of the progress made during
the past year, with reference to the
building OF new churches. the organiz-
ing of new congregations and the in
crease in the membership of the older
congregations.
Last evening Rev. HANNA made an
address upon the subject, The Three
fold Duty OF Home Missions" saying,
among other things: First, the COM
mon obligation Of Christianity is in
eumbent upon being one TO support
home missions. The second obligation
is loyalty TO your own church. which
Is not ssctarianism- The third obliga-
ton is loyalty to ones own country,
to labor for evaHgelization Of all cltf-
zens. This IS the only safe guard OF
the Republic"
Rev. HANNA will preach sermon at
the communion service al the church
this morning. His theme will be
HBroadness Of Christianity"

OF the First Lutheran Church OF Apollo,
Pa, delivered a thoughtful sermon up
on the subject, THE Duty OF the Church
to Her Orphans" In part he remarked:
As church we are under solemn
responsibility to care for Gods help
less little ones Christ loved us more
than His own soul. He gave Himself
for US. He did infinitely more for US
than Jonathan did for David. Some
would have us put the orphans of the
church into private families, place
them in Christian homes. But where
are the homes that will take them !?
Into what particular families win they
be received? Into those Of the persons
who advanced this method? No; into
the homes of others. of course; they
have no room for them. Let their
neighbors take them. Their families
are not so large. We owe it to our
orphans to give them good home, an
education, a religious training. Our
orphans home at LOUISVILLE has fine
scholars. The course of study includes
all the common branches of the public
schools and certain higher studies that
the pupils may be able to take.
The religious training OF the children
is given a prominent place at LOUISVILLE.
They are instructed in catechism, the
doctrine of the Lutheran Church and
holy Christian living. Last SPRING
twenty-six young men and young wo-
men were admitted into full member
ship in the hcurch by the rite OF con-
firmation."
In conclusion he gave an account OF
the way in which the Tressler Orphans
Home at LOUISVILLE, Pa, is managed.
