UNION REVIVAL MEETINGS.

The first meeting of the series of
revival meetings which are to be
held by the evangelical churches of
Honesdale, was held In the Baptist
church on Wednesday evening at
1880 p. m. The church was filed
to such an extent that 1t was neces-
sary to throw back the folding doors
of the Sunday school room, in order
to accommodate the people, who
had come out to enjoy the services.
The spacious platform back of the
pulpit was crowded with q large
number of the volunteer choir, who
lead the singing in very pleasing
manner. Revs. Hitler. Swift and
Wendell, we're also on the platform
Rev. Wendell, who is to lead the
singing and conduct the choir, had a
number of new singing books and a
large four~leaf card which contained
a most excellent selection of hymns.
The meeting was opened with sing
ing and a number of new songs were
sung, and judging by the manner in
which the audience took hold of the
music, it will be a treat to attend
these meetings and listen to the
singing, and as the selections are of
a character to lift ones mind up and
away from the troubles ana cares
of everyday life, many of our peo-
pie will find this part of the services
a great help and blessing
Rev. Mr.. Swift led the meeting
in prayer After another short sea-
son of song and praise, the Rev. Mr.
Hitler made an address, taking for
his text. the advice of the Apostle
Paul, to those who had began their
Christian life, to let their Walk be
worthy of God" In a very earnest
manner and in language that was
plain and very appropriate, he plead
ed with those present to take higher
ground in the conduct of life; to
forget self, to be more solicitious
for the welfare of others; to get in
close touch with God, to walk up
rightly, and live so that our lives
might lead others to seek the high
er life. After this impressive ad-
dress, and a few seconds of silent
prayer, Rev. Mr.. Hitler led in
prayer, which was followed by the
singing of several hymns, closing
with the benediction by Rev. Mr.
Swift. Notice was given out that
the meetings would be held in the
Baptist church every evening ex-
cepting Saturday from Feb. 23 to
March 4th; at the Presbyterian
church from March 9Th to March
18th and at the Methodist church
March 18th to 18th.

SECOND HAND MAIL BOX.
Why a Little Village May Not Have
Big Numbers in Its Post Office.

The man who was spending his
summer vacation in the country was
looking quizzically at the mail boxes
in the rural post office.
81 did not know this was such a
large place." he said. Il thought it
had a population of only about
1000, but the mail box numbers run
much higher than that, and l don't
suppose every one in town rents a
box either"
The postmaster peered out of his
little barred window
u can explain that" he said. "You
see the country post Offices never get
new boxes, but we have those left
over when the city establishments
make over their offices and get new
boxes. So you see lots of country
places are bound to have high num-
Der boxes.
Although our numbers run over
1000, you won't find any less than
1000, some other country post Of
fee drew the lower ones. l myself
would rather get the big numbers,
for it makes us seem like a bustling
little city"

COST OF AN EDUCATION
Public Schools of the Country Spend
an Average Of S2S.25 a Pupil.

The average yearly expenditure a
pupil in the public schools OF this
country, is given as $2S25 in the re-
Gently published report OF the Com.
missioner OF Education In 1870 It
was only $3.50.
Nevada has the highest yearly ex.
penditure, $72.15 a pupil, followed by
New York with $3.50, Montana with
$49.40 and California with $49.29. In
the South the expenditures a pupil
range from $6.37 for South Carolina
to $20.36 for West Virginia. The new
State of Oklahoma spends $3.50,
New Mexico S19.46. while Arizona with
s40.41 spends $5.16 a pupil year
more than Oklahoma and New Mexi,
co combined.
One-third OF the States spend from
s25 to $40 pupil. The fact that one
fourth spend less than SIS and one.
fourth spend more than $50 is an indi-
cation, says the Commissioner, "of
the great variety in support of public
education, and, / believe, in the op-
portunity afforded for school training
in our various Commonwealths."
