A PENTECOSTAL SERVICE
Remarkable Outburst of Religious
Enthusiasm at Close of Evan
gelical Conference.

The United Evangelical convention
for the Lewisburg district, which be-
gan it's sessions in this city on Tuesday
last. was closed last night with a re-
markably enthusiastic Pentecostal SER
vice conducted in Zion church.
The church was welA filled. and after
some minor matters of business had
been transacted, Rev. S. S. Munney took
charge and read the opening verses Of
second chapter of the Acts of the
Apostles, in which it is written that on
the day of Penetcost the Holy Spirit
came in the form of cloven tongues Of
flame and sat upon each Of the apostles.
"And they We're all filled with the
Holy Ghost and began to speak with
other tongues, as the Spirit gave them
utterance."
Rev. Mr.. Munney gave a brief expo
sitiOn of the verses he had read and all
present got down on their knees, while
one clergyman led in prayer. He prayed
long and fervently and his voice rose as
he proceeded. A mighty chorus Of
"Amens" and "Praise the Lords" an
swered almost his every word, so that
in few minutes nearly every one pres
ent was verbally joining in prayer. 1t
was a scene such as Is seldom wit
messed in the ordinary Christian church
Prior to the Pentecostal service reso-
lutions were passed thanking the church
committee for the excellence of the en-
tertainment afforded and expressing it
as the sincere and urgent wish of the
convention that all ministers attend the
annual meetings, unless prevented by
stress of unusual circumstances.
The morning session yesterday was
opened with devotional service, led by
Rev. B. F. Keller. Rev. ]. w. Bentz
spoke of the great necessity of an in
dwelling of the Holy Spirit in personal
service for the Master. and Rev. r. Il.
Wilson pictured a model Christian En-
deavor society. Rev. w. A. Faus spoke
on the model Sunday school.
The cause of missions occupied the
attention of the delegates at the after
noon session. Rev. Il. F. Keller spoke
on "Home Missions" and Rev. e. B.
Dunn made plea for a more earnest
interest in the cause Of frontier mis-
sions in the far west. where there are
many communities without either
church or Clergyman. Rev. j. D. Biggs
spoke for foreign missions, and an open
parliament on the best methods of rails
ing missionary money followed.
No place for the holding of the next
convention has been agreed upon as yet.

TEMPLAR EVENT
HIGHEST DEGREE AND ORDER
WERE CONFERRED.
Melita commandery Conducted Last
Night the First Bestowal with Full
Ceremonial Of the Degree of st.
Paul and the Order Of Malta Ever
Witnessed in This City--Many
Visiting Knights Were Present.
Seven silken Banners Presented to

Melita Commandery, No. 6s, knights
Templar. last night conferred the de-
gree of st. Paul and the Order of Malta
upon class of forty sir knights at
their asylum In the Masonic Temple,
on Spruce street.
This was an event of unusual inter-
est and Importance in the history Of To-
cal Templarism and was Introductory
to the Knlghtly features which viii
commence with the arrival Of the vis-
iting sir knights and their ladies', Sum
day.
The Degree and Order were con-

The Order of Malta is appendent to
the Order Of the Temple. Its funda-
mental principles are, Faith in Divine

Charity for all Mankind. 1t commem-
crates the early religious branches that
were established during the time of the
SiusdueS lOF tHe pTOtectlOH OF LneSe
early Christian warriors in their jour-
ney to the Holy City.
IS RARELY CONFERRED.
This order of knighthood is rarely
conferred in full form and has never
before been exemplified in this part Of
the state, with paraphernalia and as
authorized by the grand encampment.
Melita Commandery has had these Or
ders in preparation during the past
three months and the ritualistic work
and costume accessories gave to them
a solemnity entirely in harmony with
the lessons they teach.
Heretofore to witness this work it
was necessary for local sir knights to
journey to Philadelphia, Pittsburg or
Easton, but henceforth Melita Com
mandery will be the mecca for all frat
ernities in Northeastern Pennsylvania
who may desire to see these orders con-
ferred. During the ceremony appro-
pirate music was rendered by Melita
quartette, consisting of Sir knights
William Jones, Harry Wrigley, Harry
Acker and Will Edwards with Walter
Davis as organist.

A Country That Has No Strikes.

The coal strike has been pract ically
settled. The price of coal will be ex-
tremely high this winter as a result of
the strike. The sympathy OF the people
has been with the striking miners who
have from the start been willing to leave
their case in the hands Of tho board of
arbitration, This strike which has been
far reaching IN it's effect has set the
people to thinking of government owner
ship of coal mines. In this connection
the following article concerning tho
condition in New Zealand is interesting:
New Zealand has done the most dar-
H. thing ever attempted by any modern
government. The New Zealanders claim
that New Zealand is country without
strikes. Laborers and employers have
their disputes there as elsewhere, but
the one cannot omit work. or the other
lock out workmen, pending settlement
of the dispute IN courts. It is also a
country without paupers or poorhouses,
for injured workmen are paid for by
their employers. The aged workman Is
pAnsioned by the government as a
soldier of industry worn out in the
ranks. The government owns not only
the post system, but the express service,
the telegraph lines and the railroads.
Recently it has purchased coal mine
to supply its locomotives with fuel, and
it intends to compete with private mines
10 the sale of coal to the public far
enough to keep the price of coal down
to reasonable figure. There is not a
pauper in New Zealand.-Church Re-
view.

Lays Plans for Nav Boat Line.

Q. W. Turner, general superintendent
for A. Booth e. Co., is ia the city and
has some news regarding the companys
boat plans for Lake Superior the CON-
ing season. He says:
1T is juat possible that we shall make
a trade whereby the steamer Argo will
go out of our line and be replaced by
much speedier boat with greater cabin
capacity. The boat we have in view is
a popular one, and we shall know in a
few days whether the deal goes through
or not.
eve have in view plan for circIipg
the shore of Lake Superior with a freight
and passenger boat line by extending the
route from Houghton to Sault Ste Marie,
and from the latter place to Port Arthur
GA the north shore. The distance is
about 1000 miles, and the trip can be
made in about week. It Is proposed
to have four boats in the line. One will
run between Duluth and Houghton,
another between Houghton and Sault
Ste Marie, another between $500 and
Port Arthur. The circuit of the lake by
this arrangement could be made from
right to left or left to right as one may
choose. It would be arranged, of course,
to have close connections between boats
and through tickets issued.
ave are now having new boat built
for us on the lower lakes to come to
Lake Superior. She is 145 feet long and
26 feet BEAM. She will be equipped with
fore and aft engines and Scotch boilers,
and they have speed OF sixteen miles
