A Nineteenth Century Marvel.

Foremost among the Developments of
the century just closed stands the in
ception. the growth, and the amazing
accomplishment of The Salvation Army,
which. beginning rs local effort In the
sums Of Londons East End, has grown
and thrlven and prospered until to-day
only the ends of the earth delimit 1t.
So true is this that with the recur-
renee each year of The Army's Self
Denial Week. which is once more APP
preaching. the whole Christian world is
moved, recognizing in The Salvation
Army the worlds great natural almouer
to the poor.
Every year, without fail The Army
which during every other week gives
its strength, its sinew, its blood as a
matter Of course-sets aside onc week
as time of most special, urgent and
prayerful effort on behalf CT the un-
reclaimed. This year the dates are
from March 18th to March oath, during
which period, all over the United States,
not only the active members Of The Sal
walton Army. but In so far as 1t is pos
sible. their friends and sympathizers
and cordial upholders will exert every
effort so far to deny themselves Of every
conceivable thing without which life
can be maintained, that thereby they
may gain and set aside funds for the
prosecution of the work among the
abandoned and lost.
A rich Salvationst is truly an ano-
maly: a poor one is commonplace,
yet during this Week of Self Denial and
Prayer none is found so poor but by
some effort of renunciation he or she
offers Il sacrifice to the cause.
Always The Salvation Army must ap-
peal to the public for assistance, but at
no time does it appeal quite as it does
during its Self-Denial Week. In gener-
al 1t appeals to the public as body,
warmhearted and generous, but at this
particular juncture it appeals especially
to the followers of Christ, asking them
for His sake, that as IA recognition of
His Astounding grace and love towards
them as followers Ct His Word, they
take up the cross of self-denial, OF self
sacrifice and willing remuneration for
the sake Of the poor. the abandoned and
hopeless, who without help are lost,

Last weeks issue of the Falls Creek
Herald contained almost full column
article about two regular organized
gangs OF thieves among the boys of that
recently organized municipality. Some
OF the children are from the homes of
respectable and prominent citizens.
The boys robbed the merchants in a
systematic way and each gang had a
hiding place for their plumber 1t was
when the thieves began stealing from
each other that couple OF the young
villains confessed to the crime.
1t is not necessary for Reynoldsville
people to go to Falls Creek, or any
other town, to find small boys who are
regular thieves. We have them here
and unless the young chaps are looked
after soon their thieving propensities
will have reached point that will be
hard to master Because they are boys
and that they come from respectable
families, the young rascals are always
leniently dealt with. People are loathe
to tell parents that their boy steals, but
for the boys good the parents should
know 1t and II they don't take their boy
In hand, it might be wise to give him a
small dose Of law. II would certainly
have wholesome effect on some Of the
other young thieves.

that in several townships scratched
tickets in favor of Wallace were thrown
out as defective ballots. That the dem.

all the candidates, but the big republi-

lost no friends but made many new

The result of Tuesdays election in
Decatur county was a surprise in several
respects, chief of which was the remark

the total vote of the republican and

where, and ought to contribute willingly
and literally every time it is asked.
Well just say. that as a rule dollars are
no more plentiful with business people
than with those of any other vocation.
Don't ask to much of them. Just re-
