witnesses had seen Blease and they
stated that he would not appear.
Blease arose from his seat and in
a determined manner said he was
tired of having his name mentioD-
ed in connection with the affair.
He said his name was being
brought into the matter by Lyon

liticnl enemies of deepest dye and
one who said his conduct in Spar

A Great Revival At Wesley Chapel-Many
ConyersionS-An Unusual Scene In The
Church.

NOVEMBER 30.-The protracted meetings
which have been in progress at Wesley M. E.
Church for several weeks past still continue
with unabated interest and religious fervor and
enthusiasm. Last Sunday morning there was
an unusual scene in the church of more than
ordinary interest. The pastor of the church
Rev. Milton Thomas delivered all eloquent
and practical sermon. His theme was And
there are six steps TO the throne" as taken
from the 9th Chapter of Second Chronicles
and 18th verse After few preliminary re-
marks he spoke of the character of each step
to the sixth inclusive. The first step was
consideration" the second Conviction"
the third Repentance, the fourth, Faith
that saves the SOUL" the fifth classification"
the sixth Identification" He said without
the attainment of each step it was an lmpossl-
bility for soul to get to the throne OF God.
The sermon was genuine exposition, OF the
truth, which had telling effect on the con-
gregation. His illustrations were most beau
tiful, sound and practical to the end OF the
discourse. AT its conclusion an unusual scene
occurred. Mr.. Thomas gave an invitation TO
those who had been converted at the meetings
to come forward and join the church, while
the congregation sang "Jesus Lover OF My
Soul Seven ladies and five gentlemen came
to the chancel rail and united with the church
on probation. Among the number was Capt.
II. Clay Eby, former passenger conductor
of the Western Maryland Railroad, who now
resides or a pretty farm near Wesley Church.
Nearly all the congregation went forward and,
shaking hands with each probatonerr, gave
them encouragement. 1t was scene that will
be long remembered. Old and young men,
old and young ladies, fathers and mothers, sis
tiers and brothers &ept for joy, over the con-
version of loved ones the pastor Mr.. Thomas
has only been in the ministry fourteen years
and for seven months the pastor of Wesley
Church; he was born in Frostburg, Maryland,
which he calls his home. His wife is always
in the church with her husband and sings in
the choir.
John Koontz, mail clerk between Baltimore
and Pittsburg, with his two children of Win
chester, Va, who have been on visit to Mr..
Koontz' father and mother here, returned to
their respective homes last Monday.
Rev. Milton Thomas, senior pastor of the
Hampstead Circuit NJ. E. Church visited Mr..
and Mrs. Joel Ebaugh and others of this vi
cinity last week.

Success Costs Money.

If one were to analyze the successes of the
Republican party in the light ofthe investiga-
tons now under way in New York it might
very we'll be said that success cost enormously.
1t is encouraging in these days. when office
holders and grafters decry the Democratic
party and denounce those upholding it, to
learn that Republicanism fourishes and domi
mates most extensively in those places where
riches are poured into the treasury Of those
whose business it is to see that the party wins
from year to year. United States Senator
Platt says he received $1O,O yearly from the
Equitable Life, the Mutual Life and the New
York Life Insurance companies. With mil
lions to purchase votes in New York, no hope
of honest elections either in Philadelphia or
Pittsburg, it is not strange that Republicansm
succeeded. Those who contributed this money
inflicted an irreparable wrong on their fellow
countryman and one for which they can never
make restitution.

Money Not Everything.

The McCurdys are now out of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company, and they retire with
their colors at half mast. The man who
makes the pursuit of riches his aim in life,
who determines to get money at whatever cost,
will usually succeed. But the man who heaps
up riches wrongfully will, sooner or later, one
way or another, pay the penalty. He may
escape the pententiary, but he will not es
cape the condemnation of his fellows, as many
millionaires of this generation have discovered
to their sorrow. He may flourish like green
bay tree for a season, but by and by his
branches will wither, and shame will be his
portion The DEGREES of public sentiment
are just and memorable.
Money is not everything, even to the rich
Riches usually bring pride, and pride hates a
fall. Rich men, in high station and position,
love the homage of their couutrymen, and
when that is gone there is poor compensation
to their wounded pride in the money they
have accumulated. 1t will buy Injuries, but
will not satisfy the hearts longing for the re-
spect and good will which they once had, and
afterwards lost. The way Of the transgressor
hard, no matter how rich he may be.
