SettIe what our answer shall be. To
postpone a decision is weak and I'M
worthy. For if he has any rights over
us at all Christ has right to ask that
we accept ar reject Him without delay.
Every argument for a PERSONS be-
coming a Christian some day, is equal
ly an argument for his becoming a
Christian today.
4 child makes better Christian
than an adult. Some one has said
that "a child can understand Jesus
better than a theological professor"
10 the mature Jesus gave reasons why
they should accept him; concerning
the little ones he simply said, Suffer
little children to come unto me-" they
had no need to be reasoned or per-
suaded. This Decision day" will be
directed in large measure toward boys
and girls; therefore we should have
this great Bible principle in mind.
When Christ says suffer" let no man
hinder.
The church, like her Master, is ever
saying come" but it is we'll that she
should often add the accented word,
and say come today" A decision day
affords crystallizatiOn of interest and
effort, and centers attention upon the
urgency Of the gospel invitation.
That phrase so popular in the BUSH
ness world, do it now" is summary
of the teaching of this topic. Men do
not need to be persuaded of the truth
of ChristS claims, so much as they
need to be brought to an immediate
decision to do that which most of them
fully intend to do some day.
Saying Eyes" every time God speaks
is the simplest rule for royal living.
A man naturally is more careful
about buying a home than about buy
ing hat for the former he is to use
for a long time, and 1t is intrinsically
more important. This question of
choosing or rejecting Jesus is the big
gest of all questions, since it is for all
Of this life and for the inconceivable
stretches of eternity as we'll. Today's
choice may determine our eternal des-
tiny
If the devil can defer q mans de-
cision on the question of personal re-
ligiOn, he Is just as we'll satisfied as
if he had persuaded him to decide
against Christ.
There are two sides to this, as to
every question. Deciding for Christ is
also deciding against all that Christ
does not approve. The great allegiance
implies great enmitles. He who puts
on the new man must expect to fight
the old man. But the new Master
equips all his friends for any battles
into which he may call them.

YOUNG MEN AT GETTYSBURG.
Letter in Westminster Sentinel.

Letter IN WeStfflanSI6f OeTtbtItet.
The following information may prove of
interest to those of the Sentineps readers who
are recalling the memories of forty years ago.
Men then in the prime of manhood or middle
life no doubt imagine, if they in those stirring
times imagined anything at all, that the great
men who were then making history, twenty
five miles away, were far older in years than
they were. The great commander of the army
of the Potomac, George G. Meade, however,
was but 48 years of age when he won the vic
tory at Gettysburg His corps commanders,
Reynolds, Hancock, Sickles, Sykes, Sedgwick,
Howard and Slocum, were, respectively, 43,
80, Al, 40, so, SO and 36 years of age.
Of the distinguished men on either side Lee
was the Oldest, having been Sc years of age at
the time of the battle; Longstreet was AZ, Hill
48, Ewell 46 and Stuart, the great cavalry
chieftain, only 30. Early, whose sobriquet
was "Old Jubal," was only A. He was an
old man finally, however, dying in his 18th
year. Pickett, the leader of the great charge,
was 38 years of age when he saw his columns
The oldest officer of prominence in the army
of the Potomac in the Gettysburg campaign
was Williams, of the 18th corps, well known
to the surviving members of Col. Maulsby's
regiment as their division commander at that
fight. He was then So years of age. Custer,
of the cavalry, was by odds the youngest hav-
ing been only "a years old when he led the I'd
or Wolverine brigade against Stuart on the
Union left, near Bonaughtown. He was only
81 when he fell in battle with the Indians on
the Little Big Horn, in 1876.
Doubleday, who took command at McPher-
sons ridge after the death of Reynolds, was A
years of age. He died ten years ago in his 74th
year. Buford, whose artillery and dismount-
ed troopers opened the ball at Gettysburg, was
&c. Less than five months after this heroic
leader succumbed to disease and died in Wash
ington, d. G.
Hunt, the great chief of artillery in the Get
tysburg campaign, was in the 44th year of his
age. He died in 1889 in his 10th year.
"Old Pap" Humphreys, az he was Familiarity
called was So and Birney, the other division
commander of Sickles corps at Gettysburg
was only 49, When one remembers the ire
mendous responsibility imposed on the latter
| commander who, with three small brigades,
successfully resisted for hours, on the I'd Of
July the assault of Longstreet's corps and
then, upon the wounding of Sickles assumed
the chief command, much older men now
| than any of the names mentioned are disposed
to wonder at the achievements of men so young
| in years.
The youthful reader in time may naturally
conclude that there were giants in those
| daVs.n

Great Earnings of the B. g. o.
Baltimore Ne,os.

The preliminary statement Of the operation
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1903, shows
that the past year was the most prosperous in
the history of the corporation, and bears out
the optimistic predictions of Messrs; John X.
Cowen and Oscar G. Murray, who piloted the
property through the receivership and estab-
iished it upon a sound and modern basis. The
total revenue from traffic for twelve months
exceeded s63, 449, 900, which is more than So
SEQ. 600 in excess of the figures for the cores
bonding period a year ago. Net earnings ex-
ceeded $23, 878, 900. an increase of more than
S2,996, 900. This is, indeed, fiattering show
ing for a system which q few years ego was
hopelessly bankrupt and did not own sufficient
rolling stock to accommodate more than hall
of the traffic that is offering now. Millions OF
more and Ohio Railroad, and more millions
were expended in making this property the
equal of its competitors, but that the money
has been wisely used is shown in the present
tremendous earning capacity of the system.

an order accordingly"
On the same day Judge Burke passed an
order requiring the Western Maryland Tide

W. NJ. R. R. CONDEMNATION JURY.
BY JAMIE MAcREEsE.

We have heard of strikes and combines and OF
corners in our wheat,
And of windstorms and disaster, floods and
famine hard to beat.
But that condemnation jury that spent the W..
Ms cash,
Would put these troubles in the shade, and beat
them ali to smash.
Was there ever such jury since our county had
its name,
That dared junket so at Junker's to win such
well earned shame?
Who dined upon the fairness of the town of Bal
timore,
And tasted of her viands till they could hold no
more?
And the cigars straight from Cuba they crema-
ted was sin,
But little cared this jury even when the bills
came in;
They continued with their junket while fat grew
Junker's till,
For well this shameless jury knew that Gould
would foot the bill.
And when at last this jury woke up one rainy
day,
They fixed upon pawn shop price for Mr.. Gould
to pay;
And the way they soaked" the Railroad when
the jury did "agree"
Most paralyzed the public mind then ended was
their spree.
But the way our Judges scored them, from
Sheriff down to Clerk,
Made the members of this jury wish that they
had been to work
While they junketed at Junker's and had not
been so rash,
When they gouged the Western Maryland to-
keep out the Wabash.
