The Friends Quarterly Meeting,
held at Penn chapel Saturday, was

members of the congregation Rev.
Zendt, the pastor, invited any person
present to ask questions of any kind
about the obligation the congregation
would assume provided it undertook
to become responsible for the sup
port OF a missionary in foreign land.
The discussion brought out the fact
that all present so far as they ex-
pressed themselves, were In favor OF
Some such .orward movement, but
considerable number thought that ow-

needed improvements in the church,
the present was not an opportune
time. A vote on the question gave a
small majority in favor of the move
ment, but the question is not yet
fully decided. 1t will be canvassed by
the board of officers, who will likely
recommend something definite to TIE
church for its approval or disapprov.

Redemption From Sin" was the
subject Of the evening sermon. There
is science in the Bible, but the Bible
is not book on science. There is
literature in the Bible, but the Bible
is not a book on literature. There
is not book ON literature. There
is history in the Bible, but the Bible
is not a book on history. The
theme Of the Bible is Redemption.
Jesus Christ is the person of the
Book. Calvary is its mountain peak.
Christ came to save men from sin,
and one who wants to be saved from
hell or saved to heaven and does not
want to be saved from sin, does not
want to be saved at all. Jesus Christ
sits as a refiner and purifier OF silver
and he will continue the work uatil
He sees the perfect reflection of Him,

to work out this purpose of Christ in

The speaker then urged upon his
hearers to definitely consecrate them

Two-Cent' Rate Bills Almost Alike
and One win Be Passed
By Legislature.

After stormy sessions, the rail-
road committee of the senate OF
which Hon. o. A. Ashburn. OF
Doddridge, is chairman, voted to re-
port favorably a two-cent railroad
fare bill that is almost identical with
the Hole bill, which is on the third
reading in the house.
The ouse bill provides that all
lines over 25 miles in length shall
charge fat rate Of two cents per
mile for the transportation of pas
sengers, while the bill to be reported
in the senate exempts roads less than
so miles In length. Another differ
ence is that the Holle bill provides
that where passenger fails to pur-
chase a ticket at any station where
tickets are offered for sale an extra
charge Of FIVE cents is to be made
while the senate. bill provides for an
extra charge Of ten cents, for which
the purchaser is to receive certifi-
cate redeemable at any station.
All roads Of less than SO miles
that are owned, controlled or man
aged by a road OF more than so
miles, whether within or without the
State. are not exempted from the
two-cent rate. Other than the two
exceptions mentioned above the two
bills are identical.
The railroad committee held sew
eral meetings. at which extensive ar
guments were made BY these wAs
advocate and opposed such Q law. An
executive session has been held at
which 1t was determined to report
the bill favorably.

instructions merely to take their or
ders at the table and serve them.

abit of having something to drink.
Kelley followed and ordered him
