tries, are earnestly responding. In
our national prosperity we were for
getting God and we were becoming
self-reliant. God calls in this eXtraor-
dinary way for attention. We should
return to God. He gives us great en-
couragement. eff my people which
are called by my name, shall humble
themselves, and pray, and seek my
face, and turn from their wicked ways;
then will | hear from heaven, and will
forgive their sin and will heal their
land" Prayer will prepare us for our
overwhelming sorrow and sancify the
dark providence to the good of the
country. (2) The loud call of God to
nations to rise end stamp oatt the curse
Of anarchy. 1T is deeply humiliating
that such a deed could take place in
thi christian land. The assassination
of dhree great Presidents, within thirty
six years, is surely enough to call for
most summary measures, and all gov
ernments and good people should
unite to put an end to this growing
craze for a tiendisn notoriety. The
shots OF the assassin were not shots at
the life of the man, William Mckinley,
but at the heart and life Of the nation,
because he was the nations President;
all such acts should be dealt with as
high treason. (3). The emphatic les
son of National dependence ON God and
not on any mcn William Mckinley
was one of the very ablest and best
and best beloved of our Presidents, as
the whole intelligent world believes.
His whole life, private, public, social,
domestic, is known to be above the
slightest whisper of suspicion. He
was highly developed christian, as
clearly read in his life and work, but
conspicuously shown in the beautiful
and impressive scene of his dying
hour. His words not to let them hurt
the assassin whispering to his wife,
while dying, mot our will, but Gods
will be done:" repeating the hymn,
Nearer my God to Thee" and his
expression of readiness to die, all show
him the exalted christian man he was.
But strong and great and good as he
was, God would say loudly to our ma
ton and people, by this dark provi-
dence, not to make god of any man,
as we were in danger of doing in heart
with him. We should put our trust in
the God and Saviour, whom our Won
derful President SO implicitly trusted.
Let us honor his memory and emulate
his noble example as he followed
Christ
EMMANUEL EPISCOPALIAN.
Rev. Mr.. J. N. Robertson, Rector of
Emmanuel Episcopal Church, while
delivering an eloquent sermon from
the text: "Aud now abideth faith,
hope and love-" said in part:
sTo was his Christian virtues and
graces that attached the hearts of men
so closely TO our beloved President.
His gentleness, his patience, his affa-
biiity, his largo.hearted goodwill and
magnanimity, his spirit of peace and
benediction-these qualities fgracious

A few days ago while Frank j. Lewis
was looking for suitable stones with
which to build foundation for Mr..
Josiah Howard's Big Run barn, in
Rich V ley, he came upon an old bear
and cub. Not seeing the old bear
he caught the cub intending to carry
it home. No sooner had he caught the
cub than the old bear bounced upon
him and opened battle, striking him
with both paws on the head with such
force that he was thrown ten feet down
steep embanlment, striking his head
against log, rendering him almost
unconscious for a moment. Letting 90
the cub he called for help. Franklin
and T. B. Hous!er were short distance
from him but could not be heard. Mr..
Lewis managed to escape from the
clutches ofthc bear and travelled down
the stream to Mr.. Kinsler's, consider
ably bruised and the blood running
from his mouth and nose. Frank
thinks the bruises he is nursing will
last him for some time to come. Here
after he will walk away from bears.

Emporium Pulpit Remarks on
Mckinley.

Last Sabbath morning the several
clergymen of Emporium touchinglY
referred to the sad blow to the Ameri-
can people in the death of the great
President, William Mckinley. in part
the ministers said:
FIRST METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
"Providence interrupted" was the
theme presented by the Rev. o. s.
Metzler to his people last Sunday
morning and perticently applied to q
Nations loss.
Why did not@God paralyze the arm
of the foul assassin and avert the
calamity that has deprived a great
Republic of its chief ruler and plunged
a world into mourning? The myster-
iousness of Gods dealings with indi-
viduals and men were dwelt upon and
plausible explanations of these dark
enigmas submitted
Brief words of eulogy of the Presi
dent were spoken. Gentleness, true
manhood, earnest patriotism, superb
craftsmanship, personal integrity and
domestic fidelity were his distinguish
ing characteristics
The chancel was dGaped with the
emblems Of mourning, while profu-
sion of beautiful white flowers added
4 cheerful glow TO the sombre scene.
'Lead Kindly Light'' was impressively
sung by Miss Anna Metzger at the
service
ST. MARKS CHURCH.
Rev Father Downey, of st. Mark
Catholic Church, during Mass said:
81 desire that every member of this
II,
member the beloved President in their
prayers He spoke of the many eX-
allied and sublime characteristics of the
lamented President, and the universal
prosperity we are sharing under his
wise administration; words clothed in
emphatic language, condemned the
assassin; believing it was owing to lack
of religious training and reading of
impure anarchistic literature that led
to the preparation of the cold. biooded
murder. He implored his people to do
all in their power to keep their minds
and hearts pure, by reading good and
wholesome literature, thereby becom-
ing good christians and citizens under
this glorious Republic in which we
live and enjoy such great privileges.
Immediately after Mass PRAYER was
offered up for the peace and safety of
the Nation.
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
At the Presbyterian church, Rev.
Eob't McCaslin, during the sermon,
referred to the dastardly deed, the
sorrow of the whole world, and the
fact that we can do nothing but bow
in sorrow to the will Of God in this
shocking event and mysterious provi-
dence. The proper attitude Of all is

ence Of God while we listen to His

words of President Mckinley
SIT Is Gods Way; His VIII, Not Ours,

Gods Way: To send across the track

The unexplored, wild waters ofthe sea
And plant nation which should

Gods Way: To give his children
strength and faith
To brave the terrors of an unknown

That with clear conscience they might

A faithful band
''It Is Gods Way; His viii, Not Ours,
Be Done"
Gods Way: To bring oppression's
heavy hand
TO uphold the cause of freedom
from the King
And to the Lord alone, their life, their
love,
Their tribute bring.
"It Is Gods Way; His VIII, Not Ours,

Gods Way: To form Nation from
the States.
A Nation which shall stand before the
world
To uphold the cause of freedom
Where'er
It's Flags unfurled.

To free our Nation from its horde of

And bind in closer union DER two

And rancor sweled ir billows wild

He called halt, through Garfeld's
death, and
Passed the quarrel by.
''It Is Gods Way; His viii, Not Ours,

Gods Way: That despot nation
should force war.
To bring together those who fought

While heart with heart, and hand in

GODS Way; That when peace reigned
and war had ceased
That anarchy's uplitted hand should
fall
On him the people loved, and seemed
to need,
The most of all.
''It Is Gods Way; His viii, Not Ours,
Be Done"
Gods Way: Twas thus he brought
the Nation back.
In hour of anguish, when the tears
would flow.
They prayed to Him, "If'tis thy will,
Oh, God,
Avert the blow"
''It Is Gods Way; His Will, Not Ours,

The prisoner was no easy mark at that.
and for n couple OF minutes the affair

On this anniversary of our country's
independence civil authority succeeded
military authority in the Philippines and
the last Of our new possessions is now
under a government like that of our own
states Cuba has Gov. Wood, Porto
Rico Gov. Allen, and the Philippines Gov.
Taft, and the United States enters the
twentieth century as the guardian of
colonies in both the Atlantic and Pacific
With this change of government in the
Philippines has largely disappeared that
opposition to expansion which was so
rampant in Massachusetts the past year.
The people believe in the sincerity of the
administration, and as they see the
gradual unfolding of plans for the better
ment of the native colonists they are
more and more in sympathy with one of
the great movements in history towards
the civilization of the Orient
