Modern Caesars think they have de-

plays in the wind, but when the storm
is over they hoist up all sails and spread
the canvass to the winds. So the church
in affective times loses all the gayness
that attracts on lockers, but SHINING
times are the praying times of saints.
There are days of national confusion,
when the foundations are destroyed and
lniquity with high hand seems to rule.
1t seems like it now when the hideous
evil 'Intemperance and kindred wees
strike at the roots Of law and order,
virtue and honOrs, when law is defied
and rulers conniYe at intrigue and vice
and sell themselves for money or office,
betray their country and defy God, the
righteous can Go little but pray and
seek unto God.
In spite of the combined attacks, to
destroyed the foundations, shall the
righteous be dismayed? No, rather say
with David, 'Tn the Lord we put our
trust" What are some of the founda-
tons, which wicked men are trying to
destroy today We will notice some of
them in our next Yours truly,
JOANNES.

as to admonish that, at last, the ardu-
Gus labors his Office imposed had be-
come more than could be borne by his
broken health and enfeebled frame.
Consequently he wrote urgently to each
of three successive councils to be re-
leased from duties he was incapacited
by nature of ability to perform. Each
of these councils while trying to re-
lleve him from the weight of RESPONSE
bility and contribute to the comfort of
his declining years, in spirit of de-
votion and proof Of LOYALTY, refused to
accept the resignation, wishing him to
continue as their Bishop and to pass
the closing evening of life in the shade
of the glorious diocesan monument
built by his thirty-eight years of wise
and devoted labors. Thus. from the
heat and burden of long day. with an
unrelaXed grasp upon the pilgrim staff,
he journeyed by faith down to q serene
sunset hour to the God he served.
And, of all wearing this mortality, few
ever possessed a better claim to the
white flower of a blameless life, or,
were richer in possession Of those com
forting assurances, that come to the
righteous as such priceless pearls from
the Masters lips. Come We blessed
of my Father, inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation
of the world. "

thorities to be one of the best ever
written in this country. The stage
setting for the pageant will contain
some notable features, including a
steam curtain which will be used be-
tween scenes Of the pageant. During
the intervals between the pageant
scenes, a chorus Of 1000 voices will
entertain the audience with music
while at the same time a large mum.
Der Of character dances will be pre-
scented. 1t is planned that there will
be Something doing" every minute
during the performance, either the
pageant scenes. singing or dancing, so
that there will not be 6 dull moment
for the audience.
Another result Of the pOstponement
of the celebration will be that the
parade on Friday, Nov. 3rd, will be
much greater than was originally con-
templated. In fact, it is now assured
that it will be the largest procession
ever held in Pittsburgh. Already more
than 100 artistic floats have been
promised and the number is constant
ly increasing. In the great Sesqui
Centennial celebration of 1908 there
were only 60 such floats.
The celebration will be immediately
preceded by special Charter Centen-
NAL Night at the Pittsburgh Exposi-
ton on the evening of Saturday. Oct
2Sth, at which Creators fine band
will render special program of music
by Pittsburgh composers.

special religious services in all the
churches and great union service at
the Soldiers Memorial Hall in the

ing to the history of Pittsburgh.

day, Nov. 3rd, the great parade will
take place, which will be participated
in by many organizations of Pitts

State Editorial association will be

This prevented rehearsals being held
