In every age since the gospel was
first preached there has been complaint
Of the decay OF Christianity. In every
age men have declared that the inner
substance Of religion has vanished,
leaving only an empty husk Of profess
sion. In every age the charities OF the
gospel have been spoken Of as about
to take their flight from an unworthy
world, and the nominally Christian
peoples as no better than white
washed heather. The great gulf be-
tween profession and practice has been
declared to have grown impossible
and the hope Of growth into better
things has been treated as a delusion.
But Christendom still holds together,
by virtue Of what IT has Of Christian
principle to serve It as salt. And men
and women still live heroic lives and
die joyful deaths for the sake OF Him
who lived and died for us. For the
cheerless prophets who tell us that the
worst age IS our own would need omni-
science to speak with the confidence
they use in judging the character Of
their own time or OF any time And. If
they had omnisclence. it would teach
them charity. AZ Faber sings.
He whom no praise can reach IS aye
Mems least attempt approving;
Whom justice makes all-merciful,
Omniscience makes ALLOWING"

Over Two Centuries Old.

Says the Philadelphia Record: .'What
is known as the old rock house, in
East Penn street, near the Reading
railway bridge, Germantown, is said to
be the oldest dwelling house in Phila-

over two centuries old. 1t is built upon
a high, solid rock, which led to it's be

around the base of tie rock flowed the
Wingohocking creek. There the people

the house. During the Revolutionary
war some of the British cavalry had
their huts in the meadow surrounding
the rock house"

4 Close Mouthed Pair.

A story told in Il French journal some
years ago has its amusing side, al
/ though it concerns two people who
took anything but humorous view of
life.
One was Perlet, a ira gedian of much
merit and Il most excellent man in ev-
cry respect, who was nevertheless so
sensitive and shy that he was regard
ed as almost a misanthrope by those
who knew him in private life.
In spite of his gloom and taciturni-
ty, he took it into his head to marry
and settled upon the pretty daughter
of Tiercelin, a famous comedian, as
the woman he wished to we'd
Tiercelin was as melancholy and mo-
rose as Perlet, and a meeting between
the young actor and the old comedian
was arranged by some friends who
saw what pleasure the two men We're
likely to take in each others cOngenial
society.
There was a little dinner at which
there were but two covers. Perlet and
Tiercelin seated themselves in silence,
and the dinner was served Course
after course came on and went off
without a word from the two partici-
pants.
When the repast was ended, Tierce-
lin rose from the table, and, extending
his hand to Perlet, said, with grave
cordiality:
!'Sir, you are just the son-in-law l

Apparently he was also the husband
whom pretty Mile Tiercelin wanted.
but there are rumors that, in spite of
her love, there were days when she
had a dull time of it, between her tact

The rapid growth of manufacturing
in the south, and its beneficial effect
upon other industries, are arousing
in the minds of the people new
thoughts and hopes for the future of
their great section of the union. One
of the most reliable authorities on
southern progress and development
is r. H. Edmonds, the well-known Bal
timore publisher, who keeps in con-
slant personal touch with the up-to-
date sentiment of the leading manu-
facturers, bankers and influential men
of the south. 1t is his repeated dec
laration. and as a result OF his own
observations, that the southern bust
ness men are almost unit. in favor of
national aid in the reestablishment of
our ships upon the seas. He finds the
sentiment among men representative
of southern industrial ana commercial
progress quite at variance with that
disclosed by their representatives and
senator's in congress. The latter seem
to represent a theoretical opposition
to the utilization of modern methods
for the advancement of industrial
prosperity that has kept back south
ern development for fully a genera
ton. In the foreign trade of the

immense benefits southern states
would derive from the Establishment of
steamship lines between southern and

and growing power her rich foreign
commerce was giving to New York,
and deploring the fact that the south
was missing its opportunities to share
therein. He saw for Norfolk Va, pos
sibilities of development which have
never been realized, but which it.seems
possible are likely of fulfllment
through the growing scarcity of Euro
pean coal and the inevitable depend
ence of the world in the future for the
greater part of its coal supplies upon
the United States. In our trade with
other American republics Lieut. Maury
saw advantages even greater than
those possible through our CONNER
cial intercourse with Europe, and he
was never done urging upon the peo-
pie of the south the wisdom of gem
erously encouraging American mari
time development through the estab-
Hshment of steamship lines to the West

advocated ship canal across the
American isthmus and predicted enor-

Mrs. Samuel Decker Married at the
Age of Ninety-Eight.
She and Her Young Husband Give a

I'm Their Little Home Near
Waterloo, n. y.

AT the age of % Mrs. Samuel Decker
is a bride. If there is an older bride
in the world the news will be great
disappointment to her, for she is proud
of her distinction.
Like many other ladies of mature
years. she allowed the tender sentiment
to be awakened by a man young enough
to be her son. The bridegroom is

II couldn't bear to marry an old
man." said Mrs. Decker to New York
World correspondent. "They say a
woman is as old as she looks, and man

says I don't look day over so. Maybe
that's just lovers talk. He won me
over that way when we began sparkin'.
And he said he felt every bit of IS, what
with the rheumatic and the asthma. So
that makes our ages just right,

And the happy bride displayed her
gums in a coquettish smile.
The Deckers are giving their modest
exposition of love in cottage at a
point midway between the villages of
Waterloo and Clyde, N. Y, within the
town limits of Tyre. They have an
acre of land, tiny apple orchard and
a little brown dwelling. Mrs. Decker
has lived there 40 years and has buried
two husbands from the little brown
dwelling.
She was born in Onondaga county,
eight miles east of Syracuse, on Novem

of whom fought in the war of 1912. Her
father, Godfrey Reels, a pioneer hunt

with the Onondaga Indians, with whom
he was on friendly terms.
