MISS BLoD0ETT's LECTURE.
talk of the Woman Of samaria Was the subjsc,
Yesterday.

Before entering upon the discussion
of her subject for the afternoon, Miss
Blodgett said she desired to point out
one or two thoughts upon Nicodemus
| that lack of time had caused her to
omit in the lesson for Tuesday. First
she drew attention to the word must, -
| tfat as we must believe In order to OBJ
tain eternal life, so Christ Himself said
the 'son of man must be lifted up
Furthermore, that Christ came not 10
condemn the world but to save it. He
knew the world would take this view of
His Divine mission, so He emphasized
the fact that He came not to condemn
The world was perishing anyway He
| came to save. One thing that means con-
domination in Gods sight is shown In
this verse, "He that believeth not is con-
demand" Men are condemned when
they turn their backs on the light of
the world and deliberately refuse Him
At the close of the judah ministry
| the city Sychar, we have pictured the
the city Lychar, we have pictured the
human side of Christ. He was hof
| thirsty, dirty, hungry and very tired. He
sat down to rest, when a woman of
Samaria comes to draw water. Christ
asks for a drink from this cool we'll of
Jacob. and is his request granted? No,
Instead the woman starts a cOntrover-
sy, why, dost thou being Jew ask
drink of me?" Miss Blodgett said this
to us was a type of Christ's great thirst
for our love, and His great desire to
see in our lives fruits of His mighty
sacrifice. And as He said to the woman
'If you only knew the gift Of God, and
who it is so He says to us, 'If you only
knew what peace and Joy and blessing
there is in "this well of water springing
up unto everlasting life in the hearts
of all that believe The trouble with so
many is Indifference. He longs to salts
fy us, and the condition He imposes is
so simple. ITO ask and receive the
Holy Spirit The pleasures Of this world
are fieeting and can never satisfy the
hunger of the human heart. The work
of Christ Is to satisfy. St. Augustine
had this experience. He led a life of
dissipation, and finally found peace at
the foot of the Cross and he made this
confession, Thou hast made man for
1hyself and mans heart Is restless until
it finds rest in Thee" As Christ laid
bare the sin of this woman of Samaria,
as He shows patience with her lack of
comprehension, with her evasiveness, as
He wins her to a knowledge Of Him, so
He comes to each of us, puts His finger
on the particular sin that hampers, and
bids us accept Him and be refreshed.
And too, we are to learn q further les
son from this woman. Did she stop to
consider herself or what her life had
been, or this or that when the Light
came. No, she testified that this was
the Christ, and many of the Samaritans
believed in Him for the saying of the
woman.

The wait which many politicians have
experienced in connection with the
prison commissionershp was ended yes
terday by the judges appointing Alex
auder Mitchell, of Wilkesbarre, and
Joseph Langford. of Pittston. There
has been much guessing during the past
few weeks as to who the appointees
would be and several lower enders we're
mentioned for the place. Mr.. Mitchell
was formerly uperintendent of the wy
oming division of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad.
Both men are Republicans and with

commissioners, who with the two men
named by the court compose the board

WAITING FOR REPORT.
Miners and Operators Are Anxious for
Decision of the Com mission.

Decision of the Commission.
sion is holding important sessions at
Washington this week. Yesterday rep
resentatives of both the operators and
the miners presented to the commission
their views as to the best method of
paying for coal mined. The discussion
hinged on the point as to whether pay
ment shall be made by weight or meas
ure.
The hearing foreshadows an early re-
port of the commission to President
Roosevelt, as the payment question in
wolves the only issue which remains un-
settled in the minds of the commission.
Yesterdays proceedings were in the
nature of general consultation, and
all present expressed their views in re-
sponse to questions propounded by
members of the commission.
Mr.. Mitchell expounded In detail the
position which the Mine Workers Union
has taken in urging the payment on the
basis of the weight of coal before being
taken from the miners.
This statement regarding the meeting
was given out by the commission last
evening:
1.-The Anthracite Coal Strike Commits
sion met today for the purpose of con-
sutation with the counsel and represen-
tatives of the miners and the coal opera
tors, to enable the commission to avoid
auy misunderstanding as to matters
under its consideration, but not to sub
nit to the parties any conclusions reach
ed by the commission or any form of
any award.
lone of the difficult subjects, with
which the commission has had to deal is
that OF paying for coal by weight rather
than by car. Various methods have
been suggested as substitute, some of
which were not touched upon at length
in the voluminous testimony before the
commission. 1t was necessary, there
fore, for the commission to meet counsel
of both sides and have free and frank
talk with them. Such consultation
could not have taken place had it been
open to the public. No additional testi-
mony was asked for nor offered
The commission is hard at work
upon its report sitting late at night and
making every endeavor to reach speedy
conclusion, but just when decision can
be reached cannot be stated"

must be full of "bood and thunder" be-

This is mistake. A melodrama is
drama in which music plays an import
ant figure and adds much to the beauty
