1t is said that IS per cent of the
officials of the province of Kwantung,
China, are either Christians or SO
closely related to the church that
they are considered Christians by
those who are without.
The average yearly net increase Of
churches of all denominations in the
United States from 1900 to 1910 was

conducted by laymen. Many men
walk twenty miles or more every
week to conduct services.

Circulars were received at this Office
Monday announcing the dates on which
Farmers Institutes will be held IN this
county. The date for Thurmont is Feb'y
9th. For the past several years poultry
exhibit has been held in connection with
the institute and has attracted many ex-
hibitors of poultry from various places.
At this time we can not say what will be
done in this direction, the time being
comparatively short to have much of an
exhibit, if any.
Institutes will be held at Jefferson,
Feb'y 10; Myersville, Feb'y 18th; and at
Frederick the 18th and 18th.

Decide Against Booze.
DR.. Biederwolf breaches Effec-

Dr. BleOofWOlI ffeAClcS LHcC-
tive Sermon at WaynesbOro.
On Sunday last DR.. Biederwolf, who
has been conducting evangelistic services
at ..Waynesboro, Pa, preached on the
subject of Temperance. A number OF
persons from Thurmont spent Sunday in
Waynesboro and attended the afternoon
meeting.
The Evening Herald of that city in its
issue of the 26th, as reported by F. 5.
Berggren, says:
"If there was to be an election in
Waynesboro within few weeks from
now and a "booze" candidate was up for
Judge, or for mayor or any other office
in the city of Waynesboro or in Cham
bersburg, he would be buried so far by
the votes of determined people that he
would not know what struck him, and
the chances are more than likely that
there will be some mighty careful step
ping by officials now in power, if they
care for the will of the people. Booze

alone by one man, but by multitude =

of five thousand men-when their sensi-
bilties were set in motion by DR.. Bed
erwolf in the tabernacle.
CDR. Biederwolf said that when the
church awakens to its obligations in this
matter, Protestant and Catholic togeth-
er, it will be as difficult for saloon to
get foothold again as it would be for
"a dog with wax legs to chase an asbestos
cat through hell.
CDR. Biederwolf spectacularly finished
his sermon by producinga red flag, which
he claimed rightly represented the saloon
and he said, Men let's hurl this thing
back into hell where it came from, and
where it belongs, and let US stand under
these stars and stripes, almost magcally

US keep our emblem pure, boys, by our

when the people were asked to signify
how they would henceforth stand in this
matter over 1850 stood up for the abol'
ishment of the saloon, and again when
the question was asked, How many will

jurors Drawn.

Two weeks ago at the drawing of
jurors for the February term of court,
Messrs. James Hamil and Charles R..
Stocksdale were drawn from this dis
trict. Both gentlemen reside on Carroll
street, this place, almost directly across
the street from each other. Neither
were in position to serve and were ex-
cused. In their stead were drawn Messrs.
Geo. N. English and Newton l. Fisher.
Both these gentlemen reside on Carroll
street, their properties joining and both
being within speaking distance of Messrs.
Hamil and Stocksdale. 1t seems just a
little strange that the draw resulted as
it did.
