Billy Sundays Preaching.

A good deal of criticism has been
heard of the methods of Billy Sum
day, the ex-baseball player, who
turned evangelist, and no doubt he
does some freakish things when
presenting the gospel. But he
draws crowds as few other preach
ers in the land can, and it is not
altogether because he is a freakish
orator, either, that the people go to
hear him. Billy can preach. If
you doubt it, just read the following
extract from one of his discourses
and then let us know If you ever
heard anything better in the way
of sermonizing:
Twenty-Five years ago, with the
Holy Spirit as my guide, l entered
this temple called Christianity. l
entered at the portico of Genesis,
walked down through the Old Tes-
lament art gallery with the pictures
of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Isaac,
Jacob, Daniel, hanging on the wall.
/ passed into the music room of
Psalms where the spirit swept the
keyboard of nature and brought
forth the dirge like wall of the
weeping prophet jeremiah, to the
grand impassioned strain of Isaiah,
until it seemed that every reed and
pipe in Gods great organ of nature
responded to the tuneful harp of
David, the sweet singer of Israel.
entered the chapel of Ecclesiastes
where the voice of the preacher was
heard and into the conservatory of
Sharon, and the Lily of the Valleys
sweet scented spices filled and per-
fumed my life. entered the busi-
ness Office Of Proverbs, then into
the observatory room of the prop
hets where l saw telescopes of vari-
Gus sizes, some of them pointing to
far-off events; but all concentrated
upon the bright and Morning Star,
which was to rise above the moon
lit hills of Judea for our salvation.
l entered the audience room OF the
King of Kings, and caught vision
of His glory from the standpoint of
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John;
passed into the Acts of the Apostles,
where the Holy Spirit was doing his
office work in the formation of the
infant Church. Then into the cor
respondence room where sat Mat
thew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, Pc
ter, James and Jude, penning their
epistles. l stepped into the throne
room of Revelations, where all tow
cred into glittering peaks, and I
got a vision of the King sitting up
on his throne in all his glory, and l
cried:
All hail the power of Jesus name,
Let angels PROSTATE fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all!'"

Give the Horse a Chance to Breathe.

Give the Horse a Chance to Breathe.
A farmer, plowing with three
horses hitched abreast, noticed that
the middle horse became tired and
exhausted long before either of his
mates. AS the animal was the
equal in every way of the other two,
he was puzzled as to the cause of
this horse not being able to stand
the same amount of work. He fin
ally observed, however, that as they
drew the plow along, the three
horses held their noses close togeth-
er, with the result that the middle
horse was compelled to breathe the
expired air from it's fellows. The
farmer then procured a long "joc-
key" stick, which he fastened with
straps to the bits of the outside
horses. The device worked per-
fectly; for, given his rightful share
of good, fresh air, the middle horse
was able to do the same amount of
work, and with no greater fatigue
than his fellows. Many persons are
like the middle horse; they do not
get their rightful share of fresh,
pure air, and this is why they are
not able to perform as much work.

The Star of Bethlehem, Halley's
Comet, is due to be seen this year
and part of next year. By some it
is supposed to be the Star of Beth
lehem. Its period is about rs
years, and it has been observed at
these intervals since the fifteenth
century. 1t last visited us in 1885
when it's tail was about 20 degrees
long and its nucleus like the red
star Antares. 1t may be visible to
the naked eye next month about mid
way between the Pleiades and Hya-
des on the west and Castor and Pol
lux in Gemini on the east, or about
degrees to thr right, or west, of
the bright star Athena in Gemini.

have brought my story and my data
with me.
II have not come home to enter
into arguments with one man or
with fifty men, but 1 am here to
present clear record of piece of
work over which I have right to
display certain amount of pride.
II am perfectly willing to abide
by the final verdict on this record
of competent judges. That must be
the last word, and that alone can
satisfy me and the public.
Furthermore, not only my report

Chicago.
He graduated from the Veterin-
ary Department of the University of

"The Climax" on Monday Night.

There's nothing succeeds like
success" is an old saying that finds
an echo in the remarkable success
attained by Joseph NJ. Weber's
superb novelty drama "The Climax"
by Edward Locke, with incidental
music by Joseph Carl Breil, which
will make it's first bow to the local
theatre-goers at the Lyric on Mon
day, Sept. 9th. THE Climax"
comes with the New York stamp of
success, an endorsement which is
universally approved by the press
and public of other cities wherever
the piece has been seen this season.
There has been no other play pro-
duced on Broadway in recent years,
with the possible exception of "The
Music Master" which has made such
an emphatic hit with the playgoers
of the metropolis. 1t is said that
cast of capable Broadway players
will be seen in the different inter-
pretations.

In very short time we will be
reading the statistics showing the
population of our country and our
per capita debt, etc. 1t is a safe
bet that our National per capita debt
will be less than our borough per
capita debt. A rough estimate of
our borough's population is 5000,
and our debt $4,000 making our
per capita debt about $4,000. When
you hear anyone talking about the
terrible extravaganza of our gen.
eral government tell him that old
gag about living in glass houses and
throwing stones.

How an Irish Referee Counted Out
q Negro,


Big Tim Sullivan tells this story
of fight he recently saw in the East
End of London between a negro and
an Irishman, says the New York
Sun.
The referee was also of Irish birth
and when in the first round the ne
gro reached the Irish fighters jaw
and the latter's head thumped the
boards with crash that seemed to
preclude further contest, the follow
ing monologue took place:
"One!" (In an undertone to his
gasping compatriot: Come on, man,
get up out o. that. Are yez goin'
to let this black son of Ham say he
knocked yez out?")
"Two!" ("Wurrah, man, can't
yez raise yourself and listen to what
I'm tellin' you. Come on, get up!")
"Three!" C"For the sake of your
fathers that bled on many a field get
up and wipe up the floor with this
black smoke that's grinning at
you."(
"Four!" C"An' sure, are yez
goin' to lie there slapin' while this
limb of the divil takes all the money?
Get up, l say, afore l pull you up.")
This sort of entreaty continued
until as the disgusted referee linger-
ed on the final count the badly daz-
ed Irish pugilist staggered to his
feet, swung wildly at the unguarded
negro and bowled him over unex-
pectedly. None too quick, however,
for the ever ready referee, who
rushed over to where the negro was
fast picking himself up and pro-
claimed:
observation-disclosures five
is ten. You're out, you naygur."

Gouldsboro's Pastors Anniversary


On Sunday, September 10, Rev.
j. NJ. Smeltzer celebrated his sixth
anniversary as pastor of the Goulds-
boro Grace Evangelical Lutheran
church. In the morning Pastor
Smeltzer preached an appropriate
sermon in honor of the event, from
the text, Bear ye one another's
burdens and thus fulfill the law of
Christ" taking as his subject, Bur
den Bearing" Among other things
he said: 1T would be wrong not to
refer to the six years we have been
together as pastor and people. Once
in six years personal illusions are
pardonable. Could we trace all
things to their hidden springs, we
might find many unknown blessings,
and moreover many secret faults.
Since our knowledge is at best sup
ertcial we can only examine what
our human mind perceives. Judg-
ing from eXternals, then, our con-
gregation has made advances in the
right direction"
The official acts of the pastor dur
ing the six years, from September
II, 1903, to September II, 1909,
were as follows: Funerals, 22; mar
riages, IL; infant baptisms, "a;
new members received, SO; sermons
preached, 625.
The finances of the church are in
excellent condition, each one of the

for benevolent purposes have been
liberal in every direction. Home
and foreign missions, orphans home,
synodical purposes, theological sem
mary and other causes have receiv-
ed liberal sums from the congrega-
tion. More than $500 has been
raised by the congregation, the Sun
day school and Ladies' Union in the
last six years.
A little over two years ago, the
church was rebuilt, at a cost of $3,-
| 600. OF this sum over $1,000 has
been raised during the interval since
then, leaving debt on the congrega-
tion of $1,325. Fine new oak pews
were installed, the church refres-
coed and recarpeted, new pulpit
furniture added, in addition to a
number of other improvements
This summer the church and rectory
were repainted, the expense of which
was borne by the Sunday school.
The membership of the Sunday
school under the efficient Leadership
OF Mr.. Walter I. Flower, has tripled
in the present pastorate, and the
average attendance equals seventy.
tive per cent. of the membership
Large and flourishing societies are
connected with the church, viz:
Ladies' Union, Luther League and

a mission congregation of only fifty,
three members, was informed re-
Gently by the representative of the
Board of Home Missions, that IL

Rev. Arthur L. Smith, of Ricketts,
Pa, a son of the congregation, stoot

cation.

Dentistry as Applied to Trees.

state Zoologtst Surface found a
letter in the mail sent to the Divis-
ion of Zoology of the Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture, asking
how to prevent decay in a tree from
making further progress. The writ
said: 1--WE have a cherry tree whose
trunk has rotted considerably.
What can be done to save the tree?
Is it a good plan to cut out the dead
part and fill up the hole with ce-
ment?"
Professor Surface replied: "Tha
proper treatment for the cavity of
your cherry tree is to clean this out,
removing the decayed wood; then
wash or spray the interior with an
antiseptic, such as a two per cent.
solution of formalin, or a very dilute
solution of mercury bichloride,
which is corrosive sublimate; then
paint it with ordinary paint of any
kind, and finally fill the cavity with
any kind Of cement, or use one part
Of Portland cement with about four
or five parts of sand.
This is practically nothing else
than the principle of modern dem
tistry applied to the preservation of
the tree. The dentist cleans out
the cavity of a decaying tooth, ap-
plies an antiseptic to prevent furth-
er decay, and fills the tooth with
some substance that by preservation
will prevent the possibility of fur
ther decay. We are coming to see
that the treatment of all living
things for ills and aflictions is bas-
ed upon the same fundamental
biological principle"
