TO THE GIFTS

Tve oft been Weakened on Silly night
By noise of conflict and of wai1ing fight
And gruesome noise of yowling.
I've reused from sleep and said things in my mind,
Which, towards the cats, were not extremely kind,
While listening to their bowling.
IT'S nothing pleasant to be reused from sleep,
From happy dreams and quiet slumber deep
By squealing and by squalling.
Or yet at deepest darkest midnight, hear
The awful sound of brawling fe1ines near,
And frightful caterwauling
From sleep I've started suddenly in fright,
TO find the cause of my alarm, fight
Tween splitting, growing felnes.
But my gun appears, they disappear
And run along the high back fence like deer,
And for their homes make Declines

SCHOOL OF METHODS.

The Eagles Mere School Of Meth
Ods closed its session at noon on
Tuesday.
This meeting has been held one
week each summer for several years
at the Chautauqua grounds under
the management and at the expense
of the State Sabbath School AssOcoa-
ton.
Tuition is free, other expenses are
very moderate, and complimentary
tickets were issued to students by
the Chautauqua Association, to the
fine evening entertainments held ia
the Auditorium
AS its name indicates, it is a
school. Its chief object is to train
Sunday School workers in methods
and principles of teaching. All de-
partments of Sunday School work
from primary to Bible class receive
attention.
These schools are not held every
where over the country, and when
we learn that only eight of these
schools on the Summer School plan
are to be held in the United States,
we shall more deeply appreciate
what unusual opportunity for the
training which they need, was laid
at the doors of Sullivan County Sun
day School workers.
The session just closed was one of
the most helpful and practical yet
held. Some of the principal Nation
al and State workers were in charge.
A better understanding of the BIZ
BILE, and new love and reverence
for it, awakened in the hearts of stu
dents, better plans of teaching, and
an increased zeal and interest in
Sunday School work, are some of
the benefits carried away from this
meeting.
Students were enrolled from Will
Transport and places more distant.
In the county students from Estella,
Forks and Forkesville were present
the entire week.
Laporte, Sonestown and Muncy
Valley were represented at several
meetings. The Sullivan County
Cor. Secretary was present the entire
session and most of the officers at
tended some of the time.
Yet those who have the best in
terests of Sunday School work in the
County at heart deeply regret that
so few took advantage of the oppor-
tunity here offered. And we ask
"Why."
Should this school locate in the
locality again, may no Sullivan
County Sunday School be so dead to
a sense of its own advantage and
duty as to be unrepresented.

The following wall of woe is Gull
ed from a recent declaration of faith
ON the part of the Sullivan Herald.
1t is so interesting that it has been
deemed worthy of reproduction,
even though our columns are very
much crowded:
CDR. Gamble is rendering his
usual convenient aid to the forma-
ton of the Democratic county tick

what he seems to be. Herald.
This is contrary to Scouten' 5 idea.
He wants the nominations given
entirely to the county chairman,
{ (himself) SO that he can pass them
out to favored individuals. 1t
would never, never do to let the
people have say in the matter.
Then again, if he can make the
democrats believe that some re-
publican is assisting i'm a democrat
ic nomination, that had ought to be
enough to remove such person
from any consideration at thehands
of his party. A very clever way
to work injury upon any unfavor-
able candidate to the chairman.
Some of our enterprising people
have arranged with Rev. DR.. Wha-
len of the Eagles Mere Chautauqua
to deliver course of four
lectures here in the Baptist church
during his sojOurn at Eagles Mere.
His first lecture will be on "The
Life of Christ" a beautifully illus
trated lecture, which was received
with great favor at Chautauqua last
year, and will be given on Friday
evening, August 1st. Then will
follow three other lectures; "The
Bright and Dark Side of Life in
New York City," Monday, August
4th; "The Wit and HumOr of The
Irish People," Friday, August Sth;
and "The Sunny Side of Life' on
Thursday, August l4th.
Let the support be general so that
more of this same enterprise may be
shown by the committee who have
made this venture.

Judge Durham has evinced the
