Central M. e. Church.

The inclement weather of Sunday
interfered somewhat with the usual
large attendance al the Central NJ. F..
church. After an enjoyable anthem
by the choir, DR.. McClelland selected
a part OF the sixth chapter OF Matthew
which includes the Lords Prayer.
This was the first sermon of series
that will be preached on the Lords
Prayer and the others will follow in
the future. The Epworth League ser
vice at the church was discontinued
on account OF the union service OF
the Young Peoples Union at Penn
college. The evening preaching ser.
vice was held as usual and the audi
ence we're favored with a fine vocal
solo by Claire d. Gordon. DIR. J. NJ.
McClelland spoke from the last verses
OF the 9th chapter OF LIST Corinthians,
The discourse was interesting and
profitable and was given the closest
attention.

FEW FARM LABORERS
Crops May be Delayed Owing to
Scarcity of Help.

The farmers OF northern Iowa are
making frantic appeals for farm la.
borers to the state commissioner OF
labor. Demands for men are being
received daily, but Commissioner E.
w. Van Duyn is unable to supply the
labo;.
The farmers are Offering between
S25 and S35 per month and board for
men. AS fast as men can be located
they are being sent to the localities
where labor is short Efforts have
been made to start the surplus labor
OF large cities of the state toward the
farms and smaller cities without any
great success. .
In northern Iowa the farmers are
beginning 10 make preparations TO
put in their crops and II is said that
the territory is greatly handicapped
for lack of farm labor. The situation
has been growing more serious each
year and at the present time is said
to be worse than ever before. Unless
a food of laborers Is started toward
the districts in need. there is danger
that the planting of crops will be de-
layed.
At the office Of the commissioner of
labor il is stated that the farmers
wanting men are willing to make
good contracts with men and offer
them work not only for the planting
season, but for the entire summer
Owing 10 the scarcity ii is expected
thar the general average OF farm
wages will be Increased this year

John M. Evvard of the Iowa expert
ment station, associate of Prof. w. j.
Kennedy of the animal husbandry
section. was on the Chicago market
last week with the experimental
steers they have been feeding the past
winter. Fifty head were marketed at
a substantial profit.
Last year the Iowa men fed bunch
of choice quality stuff, but this yeal
they picked on steers that would more
nearly represent the average Iowa fed
steers. These steers cost $3.50 in
Omaha in November and were charged
at the laid.down cost Of $4,65 at the
experiment feeding grounds. That the
venture was successful one need but
glance at the net profits of $17.27 to
$23.46 per steer. The cattle sold well
every lot bringing over $500, with an
$500 top, the lowest sale being al
$50.
A handsome margin between buying
and selling OF $3.50 to $40 made these
profits possible. The fifty 2-year.olt

counter in a small garage at Choisy
lie Roi, on the outskirts of Paris.
The battle, which was the most SEN
sational ever fought in Paris between
police and hunted criminals, was wit
messed by crowd of more than 10,-
900 persons. The entire city has been
thrown into an uproar of excitement
by the conflict.
Dubois Killed Instantly.
Dubois was instantly killed by the
advancing police after he had raised
himself from the automobile tonneau
in which he was hiding and fired his
last four shots, and Bonnet was NOR
tally wounded as he raised himself 10
fire from between the mattresses In
which he had sought safety from the
dynamite blasts.
Two of the detectives participating
in the fight were seriously wounded.
Bonnet within the past few months
had become one of the most daring
murderers in the criminal history OF
France. A score of robberies, in the
expectation of many of which several
persons were killed, were planned by
Bonnet The bandits always escaped
in a taxicab and 1t was Bonnet who
piloted the machine from the clutches
of the law.
Trapped by Finger Prints.
1t became known that Bonnet and
some of the gang were lurking al
Choisy lie Roi, township southeast
of Paris, and not far from. Ivry. Fin

mobile during one of his gangs melees
enabled the police to confirm this in
formation.
At dawn six automobiles laden with
detectives. led by NJ. Lepine, project
of police, and detectives under Chief
of Detectives Guichard, rushed to the
suburb and surrounded small ga
rage, which the two bandits had been
seen to enter. The garage was little
more than small shed.
Local gendarmes were called out

were ordered evacuated. &c..

More than 100 Inhabitants Of Choisy
armed with shotguns, volunteered
their services and were accepted by

retreat.
The desperadoes were apparently
equipped with an unlimited supply OF

Then two charges of dynamite were
exploded in the rear Of the garage and

AMONG THE CHURCHES
Items of Interest Cleaned From
Pulpit and Sanctuary.
Friends Church.

Rev. Kelsey took up the subject of
the Social Mission of the Church,
Sunday morning Christ referred to
our social obligations when he said,
"Ye are the salt of the. earth" Ii is
a little difficult for the church to keep
a good balance between it's many
activities but there is no doubt that
the social duties are very important.
Many have said that the recent epi.
demic of typhoid fever is a visitation
of providence. Typhoid fever is not
the will of God, but is the result of
mans ignorance. 1t is caused by a
violation of Gods law. The ten com
mandments consist largely of instruc.
lions as to how We should live to-
gether. They give advice as to the
proper regulation of the interest in
land and property. The spiritual life
has its basis in the physical and so
cial. We cannot talk religion sue
cessfully to hungry or unclothed men.
Our own George Fox realized this and
many times in his journal we find
references to the social evils of his
day. The essence of Christianity is
the love for all men. II we are THE
Light of the World" we ought to
keep awake to the evil social condi-
tons about us and be ready to act
when an opportunity is offered.

First PRESBYTERIAN Church.

In spite of the inclemency of the
weather, large audience gathered
for morning worship. The full chorus
choir rendered a beautiful anthem,
Sing Praises Unto the Lord" The
sermon had for a theme THE Valley
of Vision" 1t is usual to associate
vision with the heights. II was on
the Mount of TRANSPORTATION that Je,
sus was so changed that His glory
was seen by the disciples. There is
also vision of the Valley" which
the prophets of all ages have made
known to mankind. Ii is in the val
leys that nature pOurs forth of her
abundance to bless the world The
budding life blOssoming into the glor-
ious Hover is for the jewellers in the
Valley to see. The prophets of this
generation are finding the evidence
of true and noble life in the slums of
our cities. Jane Adams and Jacob
Riis bring us messages from the slums
of Chicago and New York, of the I'M
selfish devotion of the poor for their
poorer neighbors. Jesus saw In such
people the children of God. II was
Jesus who first saw this vision of the
valley" and revealed it to man. 1t
is to the valleys" of humiliating
shame, that the world has looked for
its brightest visions of glory. Bun
yam writes in a filthy prison of the
Celestial City. The prosecuted and
oppressed bring us visions of true
freedom. The shame of a Titanic"
disaster makes the world revise it's
code of laws governing the rule Of
the sea" The hope OF the church is
the vision that comes from the shame
of the slums OF today. No man is
beyond or unworthy of salvation. The
noblest qualities of manhood and
womanhood are to be found in the
very worst city quarters. Let the
church catch the vision and give this
budding life room and air to grow in
to beautiful flowers of manhood and
womanhood. The old world said ''let
US perish" Jesus said, Il am come
to save the lost" Now that the
church finds the lost sheep" salyable
it is her duty to see that salvation is
brought to their doors. The budding
life must have opportunity for growth.
Ii is the glory OF the present age that
a vision OF redemption for the Stun,
has settled into a Divine purpose to
make il come true. Mr.. McFerran
gave another splendid sermon In the
evening, having for his theme, I'm
aginary Difficulties ID was very
much enjoyed and appreciated.
