THOSE OLD NAMES. How A Correspondent Views the Snb
 feet.

Editor Bee, Dear Sir; In recent Issue of your paper made sugges- ton in regard to changing the name of localities around Bedding. The answering letters suggest the story Of the boy when questioned on his re- turn from hunting as to how many birds he got. He replied that he did not kill any but knew that he hit two because he saw them ilutter. It Is very evident that these writers are not we'll informed in regard to the conditions that prevailed in Bedding in former days when Couch, Denison, Sanford, Ryan, Hill, Osborne, etc.. were the large land owners of Red ding. The city visitors cannot help but be impressed with the coziness and cheerful aspect of the many homes around this locality. The majority of them are owned by the former employees of these men, aid often being given them towards es- tablishing a home and becoming tax payers like themselves. If they did not plant shade trees along the high way they made up for it by planting the seed of affection and good will in the hearts and minds of their fel- low men. And having planted the seeds neither did they let them grow wild nor rot by the wayside, but cul- tivated them by many deeds of char ity not recorded on the old records for the present generation to read.
 In regard to many things l agree with MT Peck. Let us leave the old names where they are all right but let us change some. Is not Peasant Valley more descriptive of that low land through which the Aspetuck winds it's quiet way than Poverty Hollow, which signifies nothing? And why not Lodgedale in place of Dodgingtown. But let us leave the name of Couch's Hill in honor of the man who knew far more of nature than either you or I, and who be- lieved in the simple life and lived it. Remember, MT Peck, it is far easier for you sitting in comfort in your home to pay tribute to a lost tribe than it was for our forefathers, who, perhaps, had to go armed to the field or pay a dearer tribute to very lively one. Respectfully yours.-[A Subscriber.

Why? Behind that word lies the inscrutable. While on the one hand wavering doubt leads our faltering thoughts toward tangle of skeptic- ism, born of the imperfections of human reasoning, on the other hand hope beckons me toward more cheerful prospect and I seem to hear in simple faith the old village choir of boyhood memory sweetly chant ing loves message, Some day we'll understand"

PLAN TO SAVE THE
TOTS FROM TUBERCULOSIS

NEW YORK. Nov 1o.-with gifts ag-
greeating s7oO, 900 an absolutely unique in
stitution. a tuberculosis Preventorium
for Children. has been organized at
meeting held at the residence OF Henry
Phipps. It's purpose is to take from the
tenenlents children who have been in
fected with tuberculosis and restore them
to normal health before It is too late.
Among all the institutions for the care
OF the victims OF the great white plague
there is none that offers escape from the
disease to the child who is in the first
stages and who can be cured.
This radical step in the fight against
tuberculosis had its inception last May.
and the Preventorium actually began its
work on July ?, when the first child
was received, but no inkling Of the fact
was given TO the public until this after
noon. when Marcus NJ Marks, the presi-
dent, made the announcement that ths
institution was actually in successful
operation.
He said the Preventorium had beei
founded to cope with the alarming condi
tlon revealed by the reporting Of 2,

RAILROAD MEN WANT
PENSION IN RELIEF

Petitions are being circulated along
the entire system Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. addressed TO the advisory
members Of the relief department, for
an additional benefit to be received
from this department when q member
becomes sixty years of age. This will
be In the form OF a pension in addi-
ton to that which is paid out by the
railroad. II win amount 10 500 per
month. funds for which will be pro
vided by the members by paying two
cents a day additional to their relief
expenses.
The movement for q pension fund in
tho relief department was started
about two years ago on the Pittaburg
division Of the Pennsylvania, and has
met with much favor along the entire
system. The matter was taken up IN
this city by tho local brotherhoods last
spring and thus far has progressed
very favorably.

as our personal Saviour we do not be-
lieve in Christ The only way we
can get this is to ask God continually
and lead a life Of prayer. It's pretty
hard sometimes to give up self, but It
must be done. A great many OF our
Christians today need real awaken
ing to the fact that there is something
more in our religion than attending
church and dropping something In the
Offering box. We need to be told again
and again that Christ died for us, and
only through Him can we be saved. We
must not only belong TO the earthly
church. but to tho Heavenly Church,
which il the Bride OF Christ. II we
could only set some Of the grit into US
that characterized the early Christians
we might take Christ more seriously.
one Of the great troubles is that today
II is so easy TO be called a Christian,
we do not appreciate our position
Another lesson for us from this part
Of the book Is that the more suffering
we have TO go through before we reach
this Beulah land the happier We shall
be when we get there. The greater
the cross the greater the Grown. The
more severe the process, the better the
steel product that is turned out. In a
great many cases we can avoid pain and
throw 1t on someone else In this life,
but we should not. Today there is
too easy a time given 10 the Christian
making him as a rule, very careless.
This we should look out for and fight
against. We should not limit ourselves
TO the easy things, but always be ready
to tackle the hard things as we'll. Life
is not meant TO be a. bed OF roses.
There is hard work 20 do, and every
single one of us has some special task
which no one else can do quite SO
we'll as ourselves. When we fail IN
this we lose a star from our crown.
Look back over the book Of Pill
grim's Progress. and see how much
sooner Christian would have reached
Beulah Land if he had made no errors
lby going out Of the way. Just so ~
our life II we hope to reach land
Of pure delight we must stay In the
straight and narrow way.
o Christ, help us TO lead lives SC
close to Thee that we shall always
dwell in a Beulah land. Help us &C
leive ourselves entirely 70 Thee, blot
ting out self, and live with no Other
thought than to love and be loved by
Thee. Let Thy spirit so permeate oui
Lives that we shall be shining beacon'
for Thee. This we ask in Jesus name
Amen.

there to greet them, and everything
was done to make them welcome. Be
fore them now stands only the river to

As Christian and Hopeful had OBJ
tanned that Peace that passeth all
understanding so should we. 1t is
simply a matter OF faith in Christ and
victory over the enemies Of Him. After
we have gotten out OF our sloughs OF
ldespond, after we have left vain conf
ldence, after we have gotten away from
THE prison Of giant Despair we enter
into the Joy of Christian living. Here
we really begin to live. Until this
time We only see dimly, as when the
Shepherds showed the Pilgrims through
the glass, but in this land of milk
and honey we are brought face 10 face
with our blessed Redeemer. This Beu-
lah Land is the place where each one
Of us ought to be dwelling today
Christ is more than willing to meet
us more than halfway, but too often
we do not do our part. We worry
over matters that we should cast on
Him. We are loathe TO give up some
OF our sins. We are willing 10 dc
almost anything but have faith in Him
thus we forfeit a great many of the
Joys of the Christ Life. If we will
Just get on our knees and tell God
that We really want to enter this Beu-
lah land, He will show us tho way
without a bit Of doubt.
As Christian and Hopeful came to-
wards the end of their journey they
discussed their means of salvation
Here is explained how simply leading
a good life is not enough TO atone fol
the sin in which we are born, and 81
we must have a Saviour, we must have
! blood shed for us, there must be inter
icession between God and man. How
many good church people to-day lacl
