The picnic at Cummins grove was
a grand success. The place is de-
lightful one for a small picnic The
thanks of the superintendent is
hereby extended to the faithful
teachers who contributed so gener-
ously to the pleasure of the day; al
80 to the friends who furnished the
means of conveyance.
Our city friends are rapidly leav-
ing. Many begin TO breathe more
easily and some give a sigh of relief
as the labor of the boarding season
draws near its close. Now is the
time to direct our energy in new
channel not to let 1t cease. The
Lords work demands all the
thought and power of our lives.
Let us rally for his work and leave
no stone unturned to make this year
the best in our history.
At a special meeting of the Ladies
aid society, held at Mrs. Thomas
Armstrong; last Monday evening,
fifty dollars was turned over to the
Stewards. The efficient work of the
ladies of our church is greatly APP
preclated. The stewards take great
delight in making this public men
tion of their regard for the work of
the Ladies aid and extend their
hearty thanks.
A letter came to the writer this
week stating that our Conference
! Camp meeting was the best held at
Camp Tabor for many years. This
is but one of the many indications
of a revived spirit life. There are
great blessings and abundant re.
freshings from the Lord coming t.
others. They are needed in Milford.
Shall they come?

FAITH IN THE SUPREME POWER.


Do we look out upon the world
with its misery, its disorders, the
innocent suffering while the guilty
go free, andfnd it hard to accept the
doctrine that the Lord rules in all
things-btinging good out of evil
never permitting any suffering ex-
cept where it would injure men eter-
nally to prevent ltP OF couse, we
find it hard. The natural man can
never see it. Only in the mount of
the Lord can it be seen, by him who
is willing to give up his own poor
judgement when it opposes Divine
revelation. This must come first.
To none others can the vision be
given. But by him who so offers
his merely earthly reason upon the
altar it can now be seen, not blind
ly accepted on authority, but seen
in the clear light of day by new fa-
culties which are able to see into and
through the mere appearances of
things.-Rev. Willis l.. Gladish,
Pike County press. (Milford, Pa.) 1895-1925, 1900-09-07
County Ticket.

Mr.. Bryan has one speech for the
Democrats, another for the Populists
and q third one for the free silver adj
vocates. In view of the nature of
his support the many-sided Kansas
City platform was absolutely neces-
sary.
What the latest indianapolis gath
erings lacked in numbers they made
up in gloom.
The fact that Chairman Jones is
connected with the cotton bale trurst
is in a measure consoling to the Van
Wycks and other Tammany states
men. Misery doesn't like exclusive
ness.
The Hon. Charles A. Towne is TO
attempt to answer Governor ROose-
velt's speeches. 1t will be recalled
that Mr.. Towne is the gentleman who
was unable to successfully answer the
arguments of the men who wanted
off of a certain Presidential ticket.
Mr.. Bryan will hardly be so reck-
less as to paramount one of his nom
nations.
In his Topeka speech of acceptance
Mr.. Bryan neglected to allude to the
manner in which his North Carolina
Democratic supporters put on their
red shirts and his North Carolina
Populist friends out of the recent
election. Mr.. Bryan understands
that the less his friends know of each
other the better it will be for him.
1t is believed that Mr.. Bryan has
turned out more perforated predic-
tions thai any other man in public
life.
The Hon. John p. Altgeld as At
torney General of the United States
would be fine thing for the anarch-
list industry.
BY the liberal use of the phono-
graph in hiscampaign work Mr.. Bry-
an may be able to avoid audiences
which might make annoying inquir-
les abovt the consent Of the governed
in North Carolina.
In 1864 the Democrats were charg-
ing Abraham Lincoln with being an
imperialist and republican. The
indianapolis Sentinel was particular
Iy vigorous in this work. Mr.. Bry-
an is not quoting from the files of his
indianapolis organ.
California's trade with the Philip
pines now amounts to S2,0O0,00O a
month. California didn't send a sin
gle delegate to the Indianapolis gath
ering Of malcontents.
Webster Davis seems to have gone
down without even making ripple.
The Philadelphia Press thinks that
is is new for Presidential candidate
to encourage resistance to the lawful
authority and the settled policy Of the
United States. True, it is.

PRAYING FOR STRENGTH.


If you have any trial that seems
intolerable, pray-pray that it be
relieved or changed. There is no
harm in that. We may pray for
anything, not wrong in itself, with
perfect freedom, if we do not pray
selfishly. One disabled for duty by
sickness may pray for health that
he may do his work or one hemmed
in by internal impediments may
pray for utterance, that he may
serve better the truth and the right
Or, if we have besetting sin, we
may pray to be delivered from it, in
order to serve God and man, and not
be ourselves Satans to mislead and
destroy. But the answer to the
prayer may be, as it was TO Paul.
not the removal of the thorn, but,
instead, a growing insight into its
meaning and value. The voice of
God in our soul may show us, as we
look up to Him, that His strength is
enough to enable us to bear it.-J. f.
Clarke.

the county attorney here for making
