CORNERSTONE LAID. The cornerstone
of the new chapel at East Northport was
laid with appropriate ceremonies Nov. 1st.
The chapel is to be built on a lot opposite
the post office and was contributed by II. l..
KOchersperger from the George NJ. knowl-
ton farm. There was large attendance
and the exercises we're interesting and i'm
pressive. Rev. c. II. Bryant performed the
ceremony according to the Methodist disci-
pline. Beneath the stone was placed a
sealed box containing copies OF the New
Testament, the Sunday School Quarterly,
The Republican journal, Zion's Herald,
Bangor Commercial, New Age, list con-
tanning the names OF the pastor and officers
of the church and of thu. Ladies' Aid Socie
ty, and three coins of the year 1900. The
ladies laid the stone in place and shoveled
the earth about it. Miss Adelia Hills read
a selection and Manassah Whiting, ESQ.,, an
original poem. The exercises closed with
prayer and benediction by the pastor. Work
will be forwarded as rapidly as possible and
the chapel will be dedicated at an early day.
Rev. Geo. S. Mills gave very interesting
and impartial discourse at the North church
last Sunday evening on ''Some ante-electlon

preparation for which there ought to be
thorough searching of the heart. Every
selfish motive and partisan prejudice should

ever the issue, the country will survive.
The fathers and others builded too well to
have the foundation of the Republic easily
shaken. We ought to have faith in our
country. We ought to believe in our lead
ers. Both of the chief candidates..are very
worthy men, They have been criticised
| severely, but it is to be believed that they
are honest, earnest Christian men. 1t is a
very hopeful sign that the moral bearing of
the questions is uppermost in discussion.
See the emphasis which Nl1. Mckinley puts
upon the moral argument in his letter of ac-
ceptance, while Mr. Bryan's reads like a
| sermon. Every voter should have sense
of the sacredness of the ballot. No one
has any business to vote unless he can vote
intelligently and conscientiously. And we
should abide by the result with equanimity,
whatever our personal Disappointment.
