The subject next Sabbath morn
ing will be The Galilean Crisis or
The Begir ming Of the End" The
pastor has planned to close the
series Of discourses based upon the
life OF Jesus with Gnod Friday. We
shall now see how the storm gather
ed about that guileless, divine life
until It broke in all its fury during
Passion Week. Easter and post
resurrection themes will then follow.
At the communion service last
Sabbath it was our pleasure to well
come into the fellowship of our
church Mrs. Marie Jardon and Miss
Gertrude Alice Gumble. We believe
they bring us the blessing of earnest,
devout lives and 1t Is our prayer
that they may also receive the
encouragement, sympathy, and all
other help that is in our power to
bestow for their attainment of
Christian graces.
Last Monday afternoon it was our
sad duty to lay to rest one of our
most faithful, earnest. and godly
women, Miss Isabella Mitchell, who
has been a member of our church
since October 4, 1874. She was
certainly a person of whom every
thing good is spoken. She has been
greatly missed already by those
who we're accustomed to see her
about the home or at the church
services. Our sympathy is with all
those who mourn and especially
with the sister who will miss her
the most.
The report has been received from
the normal examination papers that
were sent in last week and we are
pleased that one paper was perfect
while all received marks over
ninety per cent. The second ex-
animation will probably be held
some time next week.
Next Sunday morning a special
Offering will be taken for the board
of education and aid to colleges.
Both are worthy objects.
Next Monday evening the c. E.
society will meet with Miss Emily
Mitchell to arrange leaders for the
next three months. Let all men,
bers be present.
The Ladies' Aid will hold q social

The topic for next Sabbath morn
ing is, "The Holy Catholic Church"
and for the evening Judas.
Extensive plans are being made
for the Epworth group meeting to
be held at Sparrowbush next Tues
day evening Refreshments will be
served at the church for all who
come from a distance, so that the
meeting can begin at o'clock
prompt. The vesper service will be
conducted by the writer, who is
leader of the group. The question
box will be conducted by DR.. Chad
wick of Port Jervis, and the princi-
pal address will be made by Mr..
Shoop Of Matamoras.
The Epworth sewing circle met at
the home of Mrs. B. E. Brown last
week and enjoyed a very pleasant
evening. It IS the belief of the
writer that the social life given our
young people in the homes Of
Christian people is both wise and
commendable. We need in these
days a kind of holiness that pro.
vides for the whole nature, social,
intellectual, as we'll as spiritual.
Questionable Rmusements are not at
all necessary to the enjoyment OF
young life. This new departure
among our people is most commend
able.
The conference year is rapidly
drawing to close. The financial
interests of the church are being
pushed for a fiual full settlement.
This year has seen some additional
expenses but the extra effort neces-
sary to meet our full obligations is
being made and it looks as if the
year would,clOse with no deficiency.
If this is true, however, it means
that all will need to do their part
It might be we'll to remind oui
readers that paying up is part Of
our religious obligation. The man
who thinks that religion is so free
that it never costs him 25e, usually
has a religion that is not worth a
quarter. Is not the man who takes
his blessings from the church and
refuses to pay for them as much OF
cheat as the man who does not
pay his store bills? II is bad bust.

Everyone here hopes that the
story of the Wabash road building a
line through this county contains
more truth than poetry. Such a
road would be of inestimable benefit
to the people in this section and
would rank as on the top shelf of
prosperity. If it came on a former
survey, that is through the centre
of the county, many of the ponds
would be available for supply of
ice which would afford no incon-
siderable freight and business.
Many blue stone quarries would be
opened and an agricultural section
most excellent for. grazing could be
developed. By all means let Mr..
Gould's system run over us. We
are right in its way If it wants to go
from wflkesbarre to Port Jervis.

DODGED THE VoTEs

The record of representatives vot-
ing on the final passage of the bill
TO fix the minimum pay of school
teachers does not disclose the name
of the member from Pike. Either
he lodged or for some reason was
unavoidably absent. Teachers who
may be benefited by the increase
cannot thank him for any aid, and
taxpayers who may be affected can
not feel that his voice or vote
was interposed to save them
from the additional burden. He is
not on record, and, therefore, no one
knows his sentiments If he had any.

A bill is now pending in the legis-
lature enabling the erection of new
counties and in the event of its
passage one of the proposed new
counties, to be call Conemaugh, may
be erected from parts of Westmor-
land, Indiana, Cambria and Somer-
set. It is explained that the county
seat of Cambria is 35 miles by rail
from Johnstown, a large centre of
population, which entails ON the
people of that section a great hard
ship. The new county would save
to them both time and money IN
reaching the county seat. Inasmuch
as this measure in no wise effects us
it would seem desirable, if it is for
a public good TO any citizens of our
state, that they should have the
aid and assistance of those disinter-
ested. We shall hope to see the bill
pass.

There is some disposition to scoff at
this sessions antitrust legislation as
farcical, especially on the part of
newspapers and statesmen who scorn-
fully predicted that the republican
party-owned by the trust-could be
depended upon to see that nothing
effective went through congress along
these lines. What have the republic
cans actually done?
First, congress has given to anti
trust cases the right of way in the
courts and appropriated money for
more vigorous prosecution.
Second, it enacted the Elkins law
against rebates which strengthens the
interstate commerce act and makes
culpable the recipient as well as the
giver Of transportation rebates.
Third, it has created a bureau OF
corporations with large powers to
inquire into and make public the
operations of corporations, extending
even to the compelling of testimony
regarding their operations. Here are
three concrete enactments. OF course
this trust legislation does not consti-
tute a 'smasher," and that is what
our democratic friends were trying
to point out that the country was in
need of.

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
q milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat.
