The Observer.

The Rev. Doctor Torrey has been
justly criticized for seeking to convert
children by appealing to their fears.
1t is doubtful if even st. John the Bap-
tist would have addressed such appeals
to children. Aud yet it was of the
Baptist that Christ said that ''he that is
the least in the Kingdom of God is
greater than he." The chief and high
est appeal to Christianity is ever to the
love and honor of men.
Nevertheless it is a mistake to assume
that fear has no proper educative value
and no legitimate place in the religious
appeal. BY nature we are undisci
plined Obedience is always some
thing that has to be learned, and
learned usually through pain and suf-
fering. At first we do not understand
what is best for us. If left wholly free
from .constraint we should be sure to
wander into ways that are not the best.
Conformity to the right way has there
fore to be enforced upon us, and this
experience is always one of hardship to
us. Bat the time comes to most of us
when we realize that the path which we
have begun to tread unwillingly is af.
ter all the right path for US. We go on
in it, not because we are still compelled
to, but we have chosen it for ourselves.
We are then subject, no longer for
wrath, but also for conscience sake.
1t is a law of the development of human
life and character, that obedience to
the right begins blindly and unwilling
ly. There is stage when every child
submits blindly, and even unwillingly,
to parental control and guidance 1t is
necessary at this stage that authority
should be enforced, not capriciously
nor cruelty, but wisely, firmly, kindly.
The fear to which appeal is made is not
the fear of tyrannous cruelty, but the
fear ofjust and benevolent authority.
When authority is firmly enforced in
this spirit, the effect is educative, and
tends to lift the character to higher
plane of obedience, an obedience based
in trust and sympathy, in intelligent
understanding and sense of right

WILLIAM CARLISLE ARNOLD
A Fitting Tribute to a Brilliant
Man From His Home Paper.
Dubois Courier, March 21.

The death of the Hon. w. G. Arnold,
which was announced yesterday with
out the faintest anticipation, removes
from the community one of its most
prominent and influential citizens. 1t
leaves void in the ranks of his pro-
fession in the county and his town,
and in social and political circles
The final call removed him at the
time when he had been ripened by
experience for bis greatest usefulness
for most valuable counsel either
professional or as friend
Those who are acquainted with his
career know that he was initiative in
his habits and general character He
was much less an imitator than many
men who achieve large measure of
success, which made his cause and
position thoroughly representative of
the individual. Whenever he took up
a cause he did so to battle for victory.
He had the courage to strike bold,
hard blows where the issues required
it, yet he was a man Of large heart
and none was ever more ready to
bridge chasm when the flag of truce
was sincerely offererd. His suave
countenance, bearing, outspoken 10y
atty to his community and great mag
nanimity made him an exceptionally
popular citizen and much loved by
those who knew best his qualities of
mind and heart. The charity in his
heart for his fellowmen was so broad
and deep that it was known to all men
who ever carried their troubles to
him. They always found him wise
counselor, sympathetic and frank in
his counsel

EMPORIUM, Pa, March II, 1906.
At meeting of the Official Board of
the First Methodist Episcopal Church
of Emporium the following minutes
were unanimously adopted:
AS Rev. o. S, Metzler, who has been
pastor for the past six years, has indi-
Gated to us that the probabilities are
that at the coming Conference he
would be transferred to another charge
we desire to express to him our appre-
citation of his services while our pastor,
and to say, when he came to us we
were burdened with a debt of five
thousand dollars, which he collected
and paid in two years, that he after
wards installed q splendid pipe organ
at a cost of two thousand, two!hundred
dollars; that new steam heating plant
has been placed in the church, and re-
Gently new piano purchased and the
new hymnals ordered The missionary
collection has increased from 1884. 90 to
$435.00 and the membership of the
church from 239 to $40
For this ever faithful and watchful
care of the interests of the Church we
express to him our sincere thanks and
we commend him to any Church to
which he may be sent, as an eloquent
and successful pulpit orator
We present to Brother Metzler copy
of this expression of our appreciation
and our goodwill and also send copies
to Rev. j. +. Berry Presiding Bishop
and Rev. Thomas Wilcox Presiding
Elder of this District, and direct that
these minutes be transcribed upon the
church records

OPTION GIVEN
FOR WILEY FARM

We are reliably informed the repre-

signed articles of agreement giving
certain parties refusal of their pro
perty for thirty days. The considera.
tion is between $4,000 and $4,000, we
are informed. Other options have
since been secured for lands within the
Borough. We not wish to raise the
hopes of our people too much, set we
firmly believe that great boom is in
the air for Emporium. Keep cool and
watch.
