is merely gratifying his physical desires.
The more he yields to these temptations
the more easily does he yield to others.
Before long he is in the saloons. The
saloonkeeper takes care that he enjoys
himself. Music is furnished, cOngenial
company is always found and the wine
cup is passed freely. The whole air is
exhilirating and Intoxicating. If some
thing is not brought speedily to bear
upon his, intellectual nature and thus
appeal to his spiritual nature, his soul
will be lost.
l once heard man say, the only way
to save the boys is to establish club
rooms, where they may 60 at all times
and find cODgenial company and at
trsetive rooms. Their physical natures
must first be appealed to, then they
may find reading matter which will de-
velop their intellect and through this,
their religious nature may be reached.
Another obstacle to the Sunday school
is the Sunday excursion. Too much
cannot be said against this 1t is not
only demOralizing to the people who
pstroniZe them, but Is deprlving the
railroad men of their day of rest. The
man who patrOniZes Sunday excursion
is not only responsible for disobeying
the fourth commandment himself, but
is responsible, in a measure, for the dis
| obedience Of those who, for the support
of their families, are driven to break it
aleO.
| Sometimes on pretty summer day,
we wonder at the small attendance at
church or Sundsy-school. If we had
been at the stations and had seen the
crowded excursions leave for the lakes
or places of interest, we should then
really wonder that any one is left i'll
town. The Sunday excursion is one OF
the greatest evils of thu day.
If the child could be kept in Sunday
school where he weekly receives in
structions and is surrounded by Christ
ian influence, he should then have
strength to withstand these physical
temptations when they come.
Thus we see that much is left for the
Sunday school to do, and though i'll
progress is seemingly slow, still it is
only seemingly SO. The amount OF
good seed sown in the short hour once {
week, is uncomfortable. 1t is only be
cause the amount of sin is so great il
the world that the amount OF gooC
seems small. Ten bushels of wheat
when mixed with one hundred bushels
of chaff, seem small; but without th'
chaff the real good is easily seen.
} If all the Sunday y-schools in the worlC
were to be blotted out of existence fo
single year, we should then realiz
, the vast good that they accomplish anC
} should appreciate, as never before, tn
J wonderful power and the real value o
J our Sunday-schOols.

The Musicale.

The musicale given on Wednesday
evening Of last week by Mrs. Eddy,
assisted by other local talent, was
well attended and proved u rare
treat. The program was quite
lengthy and the late hour at which
the entertainment began gave the
audience n "tired feeling" before the
last number was rendered.
Mrs. Eddy made her first appear
ance as a pianist before aLewlstown
audience and proved herself a per-
former OF n very high order. Every
selection was a classic, and most ad.
mirably did she rise TO the occasion
in interpreting the great masters.
Lewistown can well be proud OF such
an acquisition TO it's musical circles.
Liberal applause greeted every num-
Der.
There were other features OF the
program quite worthy OF mention,
among them the Anvil Chorus, Mrs.
Parents Louisiana Lou, the Halle
lujah Chorus from the Messiah, Miss
Remington's guitar numbers, Mr..
Cort's vocal solo and AIr. Hemphill's
performance on the violin.
The different church societies real
lied about Sl7 each after all lnciden.
tai expenses were paid.

day evening of last week and again on Mon

ing was to pay the hills incurred in the work

the wishes of the councilmen to permit him to
formulate the required law.
Much time was taken in the discussion of the
proposed ordinance and further time consumed
