THE GOVERNOR ABDTCAT,ES
Governor Pennypacker whose
candidacy was aided by many news
papers in the state and who since
his election has received may warm
words of commendation from them
because it was alleged he was
jurist of high character, a man of
fair instincts, untrammelled in
mind, not subservient to the dicta-
tations of passion or one who would
listen to the cajolinR or threats Of
partisans, has utterly abdicated, and
renounced adhesion to the high
principles which have been attrib-
uted to him. Not only has he put
many friends to shame, but he has
descended to such a ridiculous trade
in approving the Salus Grady libel
bill that one stands in utter amaze
ment that a man of his presumed
intellect and sense could be go pue-
rile, churlish and absurd. His
reasons read more like the nonsense
of school boy than the argument
of a statesman. He is a veritable
Sancho Panza, out with his master
fighting windmslls. Heseems to have
an impression that his dignity has
been offended by the cartoons pub
lished representing him as a parrot,
or as a ridiculous little dwarf stand
ing alongside a printing press and
he proposes to get even. He will
go down in history not as the gov
ernor of a great commonwealth, but
as a scolding parrot wearing ances-
tral boots. He has erected his
monument, written his epitaph
sung his requiem, and the news
papers of the state will see that his
memory is kept green.

The topics for the morning and
evening services next Lords Day
are as follows: Morning, "rhe
Lessons Taught by the Deluge. "
Evening, "The Leavening Influence
of the Kingdom. All are most
cordially invited
Brother Wood aud myself agree
precisely upon the subject of union
services on all occasions that are of
general public interest. Last year
we did not unite for the Memorial
Day sermon or for the baccalaureate
sermon. Ill am at fault 1 can only
beg the public's pardon, This year
Mr.. Wood has both services and we
all want to hear him and show him
our sympathy and interest. 1t is
hoped that these two services may
be largely attended and to this end
that we all unite in them.
We are very glad to see our peo-
pie returning to us again after q
winters absence. Mr. and s. T.
White of Brooklyn, who worshipped
with US last year, are among the
number Of those whose faces we are
pleased to see. They worship in
DR.. Cadman's church when in the
city and take an active part in the
church work.
Those who do not have a Calendar
for this qurrter can secure them
from the pastor or Arthur Mitchell
at the door when passing in or out
of the church services.
Our deep and sincere sympathy is
extended to Mrs. Noyes and hei
daughter in these hours of great
bereavement. A patient Christian
sufferer has gone and there is com
fort in the assurance "neither shal
there be any more pain, for the
former things have passed away
This death is the orowning time o.
right living and what "a blessed
thing it is to see those whom We
love in earth going forth to theii
rewards. We mourn their depart
ure, but faith in a risen Redeemer il
the most precious comfort a soul il
this world can have at such a time.

BONE FOOD

Soft and crooked bones mean
bad feeding. Call the disease
rickets if you want to. The
growing child must eat the
right food for growth. Bones
must have bone food, blood
must have blood food and so
on through the list.
SCOTS Emulsion is the right
treatment for soft bones in
children. Littledoses every day
give the stiffness and shape
that healthy bones should have.
Bow legs become straighter,
loose joints grow stronger and
hrmness comes to the soft
heads,
Wrong food caused the
trouble. Rightfood will cure it.
In thousands Of cases SCOTS
Emulsion has proven to be the
right food for soft bones in
childhood,
