Foolish spending is the father of
poverty. Do not be ashamed of hard
work, says an exchange. Work for the
best salary or wages you can get but
work for half price rather than be idle
Be your own master, and do not let
society or fashion swallow you indivd-
ually-hat, coat and boots. Do not eat
up or wear out all you can earn Com
pei your selfish body to spare some
thing for profits saved. Be stingy to
your appetites, but mercifui to others
necessities. Help Others, and ask no
help for yourself See that you are
proud, too! Let that pride be of the
right kind. Be too good to be lazy; too
proud to give up without conquering
every difficulty; too proud to wear a
coat you cannot afford to buy; too
proud to be in company that you can
not keep up with in expense; too proud
to be stingy.

FINE TRIBUTE TO
REV. MR.. METzLER.
He Is Praised for his Earnest Work
as Pulpit Orator and Paster.

as Pulpit Orator and a Paster.
By unanimous action of the official
board of the Mulberry Street Metho-
dist Episcopal church in their fourth
regular meeting held last evening a
minute was adopted commenting the
work of their pastor, the Rev. o. S.
Metzler, in which he was praised for
his earnest work as pulpit orator, as
pastor and as an administrators dur
ing the past year of his work. The
following minute was adopted:
cat that, the fourth quarterly meet
ing of the official board of the Mul-
berry Street Methodist Episcopal
church we, the members thereof, desir-
ing to pay tribute to the work, and
the worth of our beloved pastor, Rev.
Oliver S. Metzler, make this minute
"As pulpit orator. his work during
the past year has been fully equal to
that of the best among the many good
preachers of the city of Williamsport;
and what has especially commended
his sermons TO his large congrega-
tions is the fact that at all times he
has preached the living gospel of the
Lord Jesus Christ, to the complete ex-
clusion of subjects of mere political
or sociological value. Through this
work, he his excited an interest in
our people and congregation that for
years has been lacking.
"As an administrator his success is
attested by the fact that our mortgage
Indebtedness has been reduced by
$1,000, extensive and expensive re.
pairs upon the church edifice are be
ing made, the cost of which is largely
provided for; and our general church
finances are in excellent condition.
''As a pastor, he has been tactful
and affectionate and spiritually help
full and the membership has grown in
grace and in the knowledge Of our
Heavenly Master.
80 word, his work in the short
time that he has been with us has
wonderfully built up this church, and
under his direction it is rapidly re
gaining the position which it once oc-
cupied as one of the great bulw8rks of
Methodist in Northern Central Penn
sYivania But his work is only begun,
and we, therefore, regard his continu-
ance with us as of vital necessity to
this church.
''We, therefore, cordially invite him
to return to us, and we urge his re-
appointment upon The conference;
pledging to him our hearty and enthu-
siastic support for the new year"
This action of the board shows how
thoroughly the Rev Mr.. Metzler has
endeared himself to his congregation,
winning their esteem and affection,
His coming here is looked upon as a
distinct acquisition to the city and it
is the hope of his entire membership
that the general conference which
meets in March will return him to this
charge.
The numerous Cameron county ad-
mirers and friends of Rev. MIR. Metzler
extend their congratulations and wish
Il continuous prosperous career for the
eloquent divine. Rev. Mez5ler don't
have to take Il back seat for any plat
form orator in the State. The PRESS,
especially is glad to know that Will
Transport appreciates the fact that they
have the best.
