A Babes Prophecy.

Seemingly well authenticated, and proba-
bly, as reliable rs all similar reports are comes
the report from Russia that three months
old babe has spoken and SAID: "In one year.
time there will be great war between the
world powers; and in three years we viii
witness the coming of the millennium" II
will be noted that the baby is mp to date il
its terms as it speaks of "worid powers" III
in impressive and significant expression o
recent adoption.
This prophecy, 1t is stated, has causet
great CONSERVATION among the Russian Jews
Rothschilds making great loans to fall due
at q later date than three years hence, with
out cxacllng the usual security.

The Manual Training School.

BY law passed in 1893, the State will ap
propriate annually to each county the sum
Of $500 for the support Of manual training
school, the counties being required to pro
vide a suitable bu'ldug in which to locate
such school.
A petition is being circulated asking the
establishment Of such school in this county
We favor the plan and believe that in a
properly conducted school Of that character
it is possible to so supplement public school
education in wholly practical direction, rs
to be able to largely shorte the terms of ap.
premiership to the several trades, while the

many counties OF the State, and that we have

desirable, if it may under any conceivable
conditions require the Appropriation of sin
gle dollar of our public school fund As TIL:
$500 comes to us from the State, and is that
much lost to US if we fail to avail ourselves
of our privilege to use it and as we have
Examiner BobitZ' word for II, first that $500
is all that will be required to meet the ex-
pense of the manual training school, and
second, that the school Board purposes tc
prevent such school, If established, from
drawing to the amount of anything, upon
the public school funds of the county, we
favor the movement and shall be pleased &c
learn of its accomplishment.
The School Board has already had the
matter before it, and has not been hasty in
arriving at conclusion: they realize the
pressing need for every dollar available fol
public schools and should be depended upon
in this matter to provide against any posi-
bic invasion Of the funds.

The Gettysburg Star is authority for the
statement that due to the large crowds that
gather at Penmar on Reunion days, larger
dancing pavilion will be erected.
Now the word "reun ion" as it is used in
connection with the Pc nmar gatherings, 80
far as We are aware, refers specifically to
church reunions. Further, we have always
understood that during the religious services
at Thu o. reunions, the orchestra refrains from
playing in the dancing pavilion. but both be-
fore and after these exercises, dancing is in
dulged in on reunion days. This simply
means that so large number of those who
attend the Penmar church reunions, dance,
that the present pavilion does not provide
sufficient floor space. These are both nom
church members and dancing church mem.
bers in just what pro portion we are not able
to form other than a surmise; that surn.ise,
however, is that the latter largely prepon-
derate.

ALL SOULS NOT IMMORTAL.
Sermon by DR.. P%arkhurstz Attracts
Much Attention.

New York, Jan. 2S.-In a sermon on
Immortality" the Rev. DR.. Charles H.
Parkhurst, in the Madison Square
Presbyterian church, declared against
the popular evangelical belief that all
souls are immortal. He expressly gave
1t as his opinion that the scriptures
do not teach immunity of a soul from
death and that the soul must be taken
care of in this life else it will perish
utterly, either at the death of the body
or after a longer or shorter period of
the life beyond the grave. DR.. Park
hurst said in part: .... .
There is nothing in scripture or in
things that encourages us to feel that
a soul can be kept from dying any
more than a body, unless it is taken
care of. There is no warrant from
Bible or from nature for supposing
that a soul carries within itself a pol
icy of insurance against it's own even
tual obliteration."
The sermon is attracting some at
tention, owing to the fact that most
Presbyterians adhere to a belief in the
doctrine Of immortality of the soul.
