Need of Systematic Exercise.

In this age of rush and worry with
business, domestic and social cares
there will arise such conditions which
will cause complications of most
serious nature in the physical mechan-
ism of a man, of which he is totally
ignorant until brought to full real
ization of his danger with strong evil
dences of physical and mental break
down, sure to occur sooner or later, if
not given proper attention.
A place for diversion, for proper
exercise aud contact with men in 9TH
er spheres Of life, where cares are for
gotten. will be found in the Y. NJ. @.
A. gymnasium. Here systematic drills
and body building work is given,
which is just what such men need,
thus developing for themselves and
preparing for the future, strong
healthy body, the better able to meet.
combat and conquer the perpexities
and trials which arise and confront
men in all the walks of life.

have them in readiness for the great
est emergencies otherwise there is
great danger of failure at critical mo.
ments.
If the muscles are trained to meet
only light resistancss. then they will
fail when much is expected of them.
There are many people who think there
is no need OF workingmen taking
special exercises, nor their children
who follow after them, but this is a
serious mistake. The working class
more than any other need systematic
exercise so as to stand severe periods
of hard labor.
The betterment of the health and
strength of the people through such
exercise as promoted by tie Y. NJ. G.
A. will work wonders tn those taking
the physical course; as a conversation
with any of the men connected with
the CLASSES will prove. This is an in
stitution which promotes the welfare
of the whole man, spiritually socially
and physically and is credit to our
town. 1t should be strongly supported
by our business men aud citizens in

Sabbath School Missionary.

Rev. s. r. Ferguson, Sabbath School
Missionary of the Synod of Iowa, de-
livered three interesting addresses in
this city Sunday. which conveyed an
immense amount of information rela-
tive to the methods employed and the
success achieved along various lines of
Missionary work in Iowa
At the morning service Rev. Fergu-
son occupied the pulpit of the Grove
Presbyter Church. In the after
noon he addressed both the Sunday
School connected with the Grove Pres
byterian church and the Danville BIZ
BILE GLASS.
Much has undoubtedly been accom-
plished in that part of the West on the
several lines along which the work is
being pushed by the small but patient
and devoted bands of Sunday School
workers and summary of ten years
work reveals many significant facts
and figures, among which might be
mentioned that in that time 534 Sab.
bath schools have been organized; 2l45
teachers and officers have been en-
ployed and 1876 scholars enrolled.
Over 300, 900 pages of literature have
been distributed and 81, 1858 families
visited. Forty-two Presbyterian
churches have developed from the
work, while property owned by these
ORGANIZATIONS amounts to S6S. 200.
Rev. Ferguson hopes that increased
interest and liberal contributions for
Sunday school missions will result
from his visit to the East. While he
is making an extended tour of several
states in the interest of the work, yet
his visit to Danville was largely of a
personal nature. its object being to
visit Rev. DR.. Mccormack, who is an
old friend and co-laborer of Kew.
Ferguson's, the two for number OF
years being located near each other in
Central Minnesota Another fact
which gives Rev. Ferguson's visit to
DanviIle a local interest is that Rev.
Hugh McNinoh. Chairman of the Com
mittee Oh Sabbath School Work, Synod
of Iowa, by which Rev. Ferguson is
employed. is a former resident of this
place and has many friends and rela.
tives hereabouts.

Rumors of Overhead Crossing.

There seems to be some reason for
believing that a grand overhead cross
ing at the Pennsylvania tracks, South
Danville, is not among the impossible
tiles in the relatively near future.
There are plenty of rumors bearing on
the subject but just to what extent
they are founded ON fact it will take
some little time to reveal.
The new bridge. which at the South
end is raised some five feet higher than
the old structure, il not planned with
such an object as an overhead orossiu &
remotely in view, would.at least very
conveniently lend itself to such pro-
position. Besides it is a fact patent
to everyone that the crossing at South
Danville is one of the most important
on the whole division. 1t is necessary
to maintain q gateman by day. while
at night the crossing has already be-
come q problem that has given the
company some concern. 1t can readily
be seen that an overhead crossing if
feasible, would solve the problem very
nicely.
The elevated roadway, which would
extend from the river bridge to the in.
tersection of SunbuIy street. where it
would meet the level. according t. the
generally accepted view, would be
made to accommodate both wagon
traffic aud the Dsnville and Sunbury
Street Railway, which will be obliged
to effect an overhead crossing at some
point and which by uniting with the
railroad company could reduce the ex.
pense considerably and at the same
time secure an easy and direct route.
One of the rumors current is to the
effect that within few days past a
conference was held at South Danville
between representatives of the trolley
company and the Pennsylvania Rail.
road Company relative to the erection
Of an overhead crossing.
