THURSDAY. OCTOBER 10, 1908.

We can recommend the advertises,
using our columns, and we ask the pub
lie to give them their patronage. We
are not likely to speak of those who do
not use the columns of the CLARION, for
the reason that they might not desire us
to do So 1t is becoming well recognize
ed fact that the CLARION gets business
for its patrons, otherwise, we should not
have our columns used by advertisers at
all.

(;lacel,am Letter.

The sesouitennial of the Graceham Mo-
ravian church isnoW an event OF the past
but its passing has brought together ma
nv happy memories and also some that
are sad, being reminded of the many old
familiar faces of past years that are gone
never to return.
The church was very Hastily decorated
with flowers, ferns and Autumn leaves,
these making prominent the years 1888
and 1908, the birth and present birthday
of the church. Rev. M. F. Oerter called
attention to the fact that it is the custom
of the Moravian church to make much OF
birthdays.
We must thank the many visitors who
helped make the occasion season OF JOY
and pleasure, even the weather man gave
delight.
The attendance at the services was
large, and many of the thoughts given
out will be kept and treasured.
Each visiting minister who took part
could take special claim in their being on
familiar ground. Rev. M. F. Oerter as
being pastor here the longest of any in
the past hundred years, having been here
eight years. Rev. Hagen, of Lititz, be-
cause his father was one of the visiting
ministers attending and taking part in
the centennial Of fifty years ago, and
both visitors here on occasions since.
Rev. Shields of York, because as he
said, it was second home to him, being
here with his brother, Rev. p. W. Shields
during several vacations, and Rev. Rick
seeker, whose father was pastor here
during the celebration of the centennial
in 1858, fifty years ago and also pastor
himself fifteen years ago.
Some remarked the frequency OF officl-
al visitation in the early years of the
church's growth and how minutely many,
even minor events were recorded. The
far reaching influence of the work OF the
of the church and congregation as such
the distance which many of it's attend
ants journeyed to be present upon all it's
services, and not only those on special
occasions, which always drew large crowds
from distant towns and the country
around. May those fifty years hence find
much in the events of our making that
will give equal interest as two OF the
events of past years.
Our visitors besides the ministers as
mentioned were Mrs. M. and Miss Mary
Huebener of Lititz, mother and sister of
Rev. Huebeaer pastor here, Miss Carrie
Oerter, of Riverside, N. j., Miss Kate
Hoover, of Waynesboro, Mrs. II. Z. New
conner, of Washington, ID. c., and many
from our neighboring towns.

Our Debt to champIain.

We of the eastern United States, and, above all, the dwellers in New Eng land, owe to Champlain more than most of us imagine. Northern New York and New England were fields of his exploration, and it was hc who charted the coasts of the north Atlan-, tic nearly to Connecticut, making sur-' veys that have not been greatly alter ed to this day. Three hundred year1I ago. at the point of Quebec. then cov- cred with nut trees, Samuel de Cham plain set his men to work to cut down these trees, saw boards, dig cellars and make ditches to construct hab- itation. Before the coming of Cham plain Canada had yielded to the French vast quantities of furs and skins and had enriched many trader. but it re- mained for this great explorer to see in Canada something more than a mere ground for the trapper and trader-a home for people, veritable new France. In the accounts of hls voyages he described with enthusiasm the land, its people. it's animals. it's timber. its plants and its minerals, and on these products he based prophecies of a great future for this land.-Forese and Stream.

Greatest Dancer to Swimmers.

Ut isn't cramp," said life guard, "that carries off so many good swim mers. After all, what is leg or arm cramp? Couldn't good swimmer easily turn on his back and float till the attack departed? No, cramp won't account for the strange seizures that in twinkling turn very fish of a swimmer into helpless. speeches.. drowning paralytic. What accounts for this business is water inhaling. A swimmer inhales spray through the nostrils, it passes through the pharynx, behind the epiglottis or windpipe guard and so down into the windpipe. The result is nearly certain death. Swal- lowing water does you no harm, but breathing 1t may kill you. How to avoid accidentally breathing 1t, though, that is question nobody seems able to answer."-P Philadelphia Bulletin.

The MuIIahs of India.

A mullah, or. as 1t is more properly written, mollah. Is a title given in h. dla and throughout the east generally to religious leader of any description. Thus the sultan of Turkey is a mol lah, because he is the supreme head Of the moslem world. And there are hun dreds of others. To most of the more conspicuous among them we prefix the adjective mad" This, however, must not be taken to mean that they are insane, the word being used rather in its oriental significance of inspired" :" The person of the mollah is sacred Not even the mighty Habibullah him. self would care to lay sacriieglous finger on one of these saintly person ages. If he were to venture such an unheard of thing. vengeance would surely overtake him. For it is the cardinal principle of the Ulima-as the mollahs are, collectively termed that an injury purposely caused to one of their number can only be atoned for by the death of the individual in flicting it.

Curious Russian Law.

Russia has law which 10 outside observers seems almost to put pre- mium on theft by which stolen goods become the property of the thief if he can prove that he has had possession of them for over five years. In the thieves market-which is. of course, licensed by the police-goods that ad- mittedly have been stolen (more than five years before) are openly offered for sale. and the place is veritable Mecca for the light fingered gentry and their enterprising friends, as also for the more honest members of so- ciety. who secure many tempting bargain.

Ice and Mice.

For horses suffering from infiamma- tion of the lungs an old prescription was a mixture of shot and powder in milk.

The shot Is supposed to weight them down in their rightful place. Sussex. England, is the scene of "Idlehurst.' It was a Sussex woman who was or dered by the doctor to put some ice in a bag and bind 1t on the temples of her sick boy. Inquiring after his patient the next day. the physician received the reply.

Crocodile Worship,

It was in the very ferocity and ter ribleness of the crocodile that the Egyptians found the inspiration for the cult they devoted to him. They were nightly afraid of the monster and therefore instituted in his honor the supposedly appeasing worship as though they had said. Be good enougii not to eat us and we will build tenn ples to you and bow down to you as to a god" The students of early his- tory have clearly proved that the ear Hest worships of every sort took the shape of offerings intended to appease the elementary forces of nature. or the real or imaginary beings of whom men were afraid.-New York American.

THE LAND OF WORSHIP.
The East Believes Too Utterly to Care
 if Others Disbeiieve.

IT tuners DiSpcttev0.
 Prayer pervades the east. Far on across the sands when one is travel ing in the desert one sees thin min- arets rising toward the sky A desert city is there. It signals its presence by this mute appeal to Allah. And where there are no minarets in the great wastes of the dunes, in the eter- nal silence, the lifelessness that is not broken even by any lonely, wandering bird, the camels are stopped at the ap- pointed hours, the poor and often rag ged robes are laid down and the brown pilgrims prostrate themselves in pray. CT. And the rich man spreads his car pet and prays, and the half naked nomad spreads nothing, but he prays too.
 The east is full of lust and full of money getting and full of bartering end full of violence. but it is full of worship-of worship that disdains con- cealment, that recks not of ridicule or comment, that believes too utterly to care if others disbelieve. There are in the east many men who do not pray. They do not laugh at the man who does, like the unpraying Christian. There is nothing ludicrous in prayer. In Egypt your Nubian sailor prays in tho stern of your dahabiyeh, and your Egyptian boatman prays by the r,idder of your boat, and your black donkey boy prays behind red rock in the sand, and your camel man prays when you are resting in the noontide watch ing the faroff. quivering mirage, lost in some wayward dream.
 And must you not pray, too, when you enter certain temples where tonce strange gods were worshiped in whom no man now believes?-Robert Kitchens in Century.

An inspection Of these books reveals good summary of the luxury expenditures of the French court, the Bonapartistic as well as the legitimistic Napoleon l., who for his own wants was. in contrast to the spendthrifty Josephine. very eco nomlcal, went. though, to large ex- pense when 1t was for representative gala dresses. The 10000 francs which he had to pay for the embroidery on his coronation robe he did not consider too high a price. But his embroidered frock coat that had cost him 3,5OO francs and which became too tight for him not long after its first year he ordered to be widened by pieces of cloth and the new seams to be GOV. cred with embroideries. The bill for his throne. however, foots up to q pretty considerable amount. The outer drapery of purple velvet trimmed with gold lace, was 10,2O0 francs. The red velvet panels were strewn with inworked golden bees at 5 francs apiece, and above the fauteuil the eD- perors coat-of-arms was seen In raised embroidery: total cost. l6.20O francs The inner drapery consisted of blue satin with gold lace at 0.6O0 francs Gold embroidered stripes for the inner trimming cost $500 francs.
