6 The sermon next Sabbath morning
will be upon Jesus Cleansing the
Temple. This is most stirring
SCENE and the one instance in Jesus
lite when force was used. The
lessons from this act Of our Lord s
are most solemn. but may they
bring their blessing withal
Complaint has been made that
some of the members of tho congre.
cation have taken hymn books out
Of the church to their homes. If
this has been done by anyone who
may read these lines let us request
that they be returned at once, There
are scarcely enough books for the
accommodation Of our present con
gregations. We want to gather IN
all books that belong to the church
as soon as possible so that there may
be enough for the present and so
that we may not have to buy more
for the larger Congregations of the
summer season. This is an embar-
essing subject to both writer and
reader, but if the situation is as
stated above,the necessity of these
words is evident
Those wishing to take examina-
ton on the book used in the normal
study can secure papers through the
pastor The examination comes in
three sections and one section can
be taken at a time. The first exam
ination covers the book through
Biblical geography. The second
covers the institutions of the Bible
The third is on the Sunday school
work. There is no expense attached
to these examinations and if any
feel that they would like to prepare
themselves and try one or both these
sections now gone over the pastor
would be pleased to send for th,
papers.
If any children have learned the
Westminster shorter cateehism ant
will recite it correctly to the pastor
they will be entitled to Bible al
the reward of their accomplishment
Many children are taught in tn,
home and this notice is to locat.
those who are prepared to receiv,
Bibles with the class that hav,
studied Tuesday evenings.
1t is an excellent record that tn,
young people are making who nav,
, never led Christian endeavor meet
ings before. Miss Nettie Newman
led last Sunday evening and tn
meeting wos an enjoyable one.
+ This is the last opportunity t,
mention the Mems Washington
birthday supper, 1t is so near a
hand that no one can fall to remem
Der it and we trust that every sue
cess may crown the efforts tha
: have been put forth.
According to notice last weel
the pastor has been trying to cal
upon the people as rapidly as pos
sible. To be SURF. this work canno
{ be done all at once and besides tn
time, few can understand the extr
! drain upon one@ strength outsid
OF the routine study. 1t is hoped al
will be patient suntil tIieir tur
comes. Everyone will probably b
seen by the end Of next week
nothing happens to interfere.

THE COAL SHORTAGE.
Miners and Operators Blame Each
 Other Before Commission.

Miners anu operators Blame EiHGh
 Other Before Commission.
 PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 8. - The question of who is responsible for the apparent shortage in the supply of an- thracite coal was the subject of con- siderable debate yesterday by the at- torneys representing the parties before the strike commission. It was testified to that the miners are not obeying President Mitchell's request to make extra efforts to produce more coal to re- leye the situation. This was followed up by James H. Torrey and Everett Warren, both of Scranton, who repre- sent several of the large companies, challenging the correctness of MT. MitchelPs statement that 5000 men are idle and ready to go to work. 0. s. Darrow, for the miners, replied that he would show that it was the operators and not the men who were responsible for the shortage in the production. If I don't" he said, ''I will ask the com mission to find against us."
 The Lehigh Valley Coal company closed its case, and the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre company consumed few hours in presenting its evidence. This company closed shortly before adjourn ment and the independent operators of the upper region then took up the oper- ators' side of the controversy. It is ex- pected the hearing will last ten more days. The commission informed the attorneys on both sides this afternoon that it would like them to confne their final arguments to about four or five days. The lawyers will agree among themselves as to the division of time. The miners want half the time allowed by the commission. E.. ..

The annual promenade and recep- tion of the Miller & Peck Co.'S employees was held last night and proved a most enjoyable affair. The scene of the merry festivities was the carpet de- partment on the second floor of the company's store, which had been trans formed into an attractive dance hall.

 Erchbishop Ireland informs M. Del Ee that the dispersal of these Pas list Fathers will be viewed with kgnance and horror by the Ameri- people. He adds that such pro $re would be considered in this Atry needless and wanton act of kious persecution, of a character srly abhorrent to American ideals. Shis way, the archbishop declares, & a policy would do much to alter Sesteem and respect mutually exist { between the two countries which las hitherto done his utmost to fos- 2le archbishop further says that $ld the Passionist Fathers be dis
 led he would feel like a stranger in ! s on his next visit, and numerous orleans who have worshipped at
 church on the Avenue Hoche will the same way.
