The liberty that sin promises is the
most cruel form of slavery. The lib
erty that means freedom from the OBJ
legations of duty and the restraints
of conscience and religion. brings one
into the most ignorninious kind of
bondage.
How can they who are bound in the
bonds of iniquity hold out liberty to
others?
Slaves promising liberty is a gro
tesque idea: yet it is common rule
among men that those who have the
least ability to fulfill make the great
est promises.
They use great swelling words of
vanity"
They are all promises.
BE not deceived.
Beware of the ternpters Trust them
not. mendicant can give you untold
wealth as soon as the tempter can give
You liberty.
Both can promise. but neither can
give what they do not possess. How
ever bland and insinuating the voice of
the tempters may be, let the words of
the apostle prove sure warning:
while they promise them liberty.

RED ROSE RENTAL
FOR MANNHEIM CHURCH
Miss Anna L. Boyer, of Harrisburg,
Receives Flower as Heir of
Henry William Stiegel
Special to The Telegraph

Columbia, Pa, June 15.-Yesterday
the beautiful poetic ceremony COM
memorating the payment of church
rental with one red rose was again
| observed in the Zion Lutheran
church at Mannheim.
This church has acquired unique
distinction by reason of the peculiar
manner in which the ground upon
which the present structure stands
was decided to the congregation by
Henry William Stiegee, German IRON
master, who founded the town in
which it is located and who was one
of Pennylvania's foremost manufac-
turers before and during the time of
the Revolutionary War.
When he decided the ground to the
congregation the consideration was
five shillings and the annual payment
of one red rose in the month of June
when legally demanded. Only twice
during his lifetime did Stiegel demand
and receive this rental, and the stipu-
lation in the document was lost sight
of until twenty-three years ago, when
DR.. j. III. Selling, of York, then resi-
dent of the borough and member of
the church, discovered the ancient
deed among the archives of the church
and instituted the ceremony of annu-
ally paying to a Stiegel heir the red
rose.
This event became an annual affair
and on account of it's historic interest
and the beautiful ceremony connected
with the payment has attracted thou
ands of enthusiastic spectators to the
scene. Each year red rose has been
presented to an heir of Stiegel, and
this year the recipient was Miss Anna
l.. Boyer, of Harrisburg, lineal de-
scendant of the illustrious German.
The presentation at the ceremony
on Sunday was made by w. U.
Hensel, and after being received by
the heir, the response on her behalf
was made by eX-Congressman d. f.
Lafean, of York. The memorial ser
mon, commemorative of the event was
delivered by the Rev. j. E. Harms, of
York, and the annual address was
given by the Rev. E. II. Delk, d. D.,
of Philadelphia A solo was rendered
by Mrs. II. l.. Link, of York, and a
reading entitled, "The Wild Red
Rose" was given by Miss Minnie
