Cleaver preached an Introductory SER

passage: "Is your heart right? If so,
give me your hand" Rev Cleaver is
recognized as one of the most promising
young men in the Central PENNSYLVANIA
conference. His zeal, his devotion to
to the church, his love of God, and his
love Of humanity were never more man
lfest than in his first sermon yesterday.
Rev. Cleaver preached again last even

effort. None of the congregation have
expressed themselves but have had
something to say in praise of the new
pastor.
Rev. Cleaver's last charge was at New
ton Hamilton. He has not as yet re-
moved to this city owing to the illness
of his only child, little son, four years
of age. He hopes to be able to move by
the latter part of next week or the week

Narrow Escape From Death.

Charles Thomas, fifteen years of age,
son OF Lewis Thomas of Grovania, met
with hairs breadth escape along the
railroad Tuesday night which it is hoped
will stand in the community first class
object lesson as to the perils of car
jumping. He attempted to board a
northbound freight train about the hour
of dusk; this was the last he knew for
about two hours when he found himself
bruised and bleeding lying along the
track.
1t was some time before he fully re-
allied what had happened. 1t was plain
he had not succeeded in mounting the
train-that he had missed his footing
and had fallen or what ismorelikely was
parent until he removed his hat, when
he found that the rim on one side was
cut off by the car wheels.

loss of blood he had difficulty in reach

Bloomsbury, was called, who found the
boy in bad condition, the worst in
Jury being a deep cut in the scalp caused
by striking the edge of a railroad tie,
which necessitated the insertion of
number of stitches. 1t was this wound
that caused the loss of consciousness and
which yet may result very seriously. AT
all events the boy will be laid up for
some time.

the matter is different. This-a boat as

hardly believe that the company intends
to let the boats rot down where they

be unjust in the extreme to those boat
men who possess their own craft and
would hardly be submitted to. Some in
