THE CHURCH COLUMN.
Methodist Epifc pal Church.
Rev. G. E. scudder. Pastor



The Rev. Gilbert H. Winans, who
gave us his services last Sabbath
evening is one of the hoLored mem
bers OF the Newark Conference. He
began preaching at Hackensack in
1858 and has held some of the good
appointments of this conference.
be has been very successful in lead
ing the uusaved into christian life.
We are glad to welcome him to our
town and pulpit.
We are making extensive plans
for evaugelistic work. This has led
us to ask what is a revival? Let
every one answer this question.
Let us examine our own hearts and
see if we really desire a revival, and
if we do then let us fulfill the condi-
tions, and the desired results will
follow, for the promises of God are
sure.
AS the time for election approach
es there are many who are anxious
ly working to make their election
sure. Are we as much interested in
making our eternal calling and
election sure?" The election to any
Office is an uncertain thing, in this
lite, but all may may be elected to
eternal life and spend an endless eX
istauce not in the white house at
Washington but in mansions of in
expressible glory.
Our second quarterly conference
will be held Oct. 10th after the eve
ming service. The Presiding Elder,
DR.. Wright, will preach. A cordial
in nvitation is extended to all Como
and receive the good things from
our much loved Elder
Let us call attention to the service
for the "Old Folks" on Oct. IL. We
hope to see a large number of those
who are not old that right royal
welcome may be given to the aged
The evening service will be conduct
ed by the Sabbath school as was an
nounced last week.

County Ticket.

A vote for VIM. Angle may insure
great benefits to this county. Those
who want change for the better
sh ould remember this
If there is any danger of the cleo
tion of Mckinley and Roosevelt il
arises fro m over confidence, aud
hence apathy, among Republicans.
Let every one go and vote and see
that his neighbor does lik ewise.
Democratic testimony convicts
Mutchler of being incompetent for
Congress. Il also proves that
Stewart in point of character ability
and fitness is prominently the man
for the position, Should he not
then have your vote.
Railroad men will not forget that
Hon. E. b. Hardenbergh, candidate
for Auditor General, is one of their
unmber and to remember him at
the ballot box. He has always been
mindful of their interests.
W. T. Struble, candidate for Jury
Commissioner is deserving of the
suffrages of men of all parties. He
will make a careful and excellent
officer The Office seems insigniti-
cant bat it is one on which devolves
the selection of proper men for iur-
ors and that is n very important
matter to every cit zeu.
The Philadelphia Times, hereto
fore an independent paper, and a
firm advocate of the gold standard,
has came out squarely for Bryaa.
Its excuse is that the imperialistic
and anti expansion questions over
shadow the financial one, aud it op-
poses the Republican policy in those
two things aud says there is no
danger in the othet even if Bryan 10
elected. Probably a stronger reas
on is that pussy wanted a corner
and that seemed to be about the only
vacant one in Philadelphia.
If the Democratic lambs of this
county lie down with the congress-
ional lion in this district they will
be on the insidesure enough and will
never have any more worry about
pasture. No living Democrat in
Pike win ever see the light of con-
gressional nomination shining on
his path. They will always be pins
set up to be bowled down by some
other fellow. Monroe and Carbon
have no love for Pike after the treat
ment they received, aud Mntchler is
too selfish to requite men who can be
easily reached either with lucre or
promises. Democrats should show
that they are units Of independence
and not an aggregation Of mules to
be disposed of at SO much the bunch.
Pike County press. (Milford, Pa.) 1895-1925, 1900-10-05

Mutchler is the regular Democrat :
ic nominee for congress in this dis
trict but that does not warrant men
who have Independence of spirit in
voting for him. The method of his
nomination, the act of Pike in being
a party to tbe downfall of Carbon
and Molroe, the former of which
was clearly entitled to the bouor,
shoul I be resented and rebdlsed par
ticularly when it is shown that one
man profited by the deal to the det-
riment of the political Interests of
this whole country. Are the Demo-
Gratis willing TO give their heads for
footballs to be played for the gam
and pleasure of one person.

DIVINE LIFE,

1.-THE meaning of life, of its happi-
ness and it's sorrows, of its success
and its disappointment, is this-that
man must be fastened close to God /;
and live by the divine life, not his
own by the divine life made his
own by the close binding together
of the two by faith and love" This
beautiful thought is from Phillips
Brooks, the following from sanity
Thomas A. Kempis: "Jn the morn
ing fix thy good purpose and at
night examine thyself, what thou
hast done, how thou hast behaved
thyself in word and deed"
