Hanover, Oct. 12.-In an unusual
sermon Bishop w. NJ. Bell brought
the one hundred and thirtieth Penn
sylvania conference OF the United
Brethren Church to a close here.
His congregation, in spite of a cold
rain that fell all day in showers,
filled the main audit orium to its ca
pacity and overflowed into the ad-
Joining Sunday School room. This
unusual attendance under unusual
conditions was partially caused by
the suspense most of these people
felt until the report of the stationing
committee was heard. This report
was read by Bishop Bell at the clos
ing service. The report shows but
eleven changes, including the plac-
First United Brethren Church, York,
in place of the Rev. A. A. Long, who
recently resigned because of i'll
health.

CHRISTIAN ZERN
Is 1O1 YEARS OLD
Many Attend Birthday Ami
versary of Man Past the
Century Mark

Lebanon, Pa. Oct. 14.-Many
relatives and friends from this city
and county were numbered with
nearly a hundred and seventy-five
people from Schuylkill, Dauphin,
Lancaster and other neighboring
counties and from several states
several as far distant as Oklahoma
who on Sunday journeyed to the
home of Christian Zern, near Sued
berg, to participate in the celebra-
ton of his one hundred and first
birthday anniversary. The assem-
blage included Representatives of six
different generations of Mr.. Zern's
descendants, and the youngest of
these enjoyed distinction which is
vouchsafed to few humans indeed in
seeing their great, great, great,
great-grandfather.
The guests were served a sumptu-
Gus dinner and pig roast that was
provided for the occasion. and 1t
took from IL to o'clock to feed
them all. The pig weighed 100
pounds dressed. In addition were
fifteen pounds of butter and an al
most endless quantity of food were
consumed by the guests.
The advanced age of Christian
Zern, who resides just across the
Lebanon county border, attracted
attention last year when q big cele-
bration was planned in honor of his
Tooth birthday anniversary, but this
was called off because of the prev
alence of the influenza epidemic.
Mr.. Zern was greatly concerned
last year lest he should not get to
the Tooth milestone in his career.
He was too feeble to walk, but was
moved around the house in an in
valid's chair. He enjoyed the big
party as much as anybody.
Mr.. Zern really attained his 101st
birthday anniversary yesterday. He
was born on the thirteenth day of
the month. which shows that the
figure is not quite as unlucky as
would appear.

Bishop Bell took his theme from
Acts, 4:25 to 80, and said in part:
There are great denominations to-
day that have gotten into the sec
tartan swagger. These are abnor-
NAL. ask that the 'sectarian swag-
ger be abolished forever. Let no
body strut across the stage of re-
ligion or brotherhood, society or in

religion for the welfare of the race.
We are living in a most momernous
era. The changed condition of af-
fairs that has come about should
usher in within the next ten or fif-
teen years the greatest change the
world ever has experienced. We are
on the eve of the greatest evange-
listic revival we have ever known.
Points to Sovereignty
mo organization not in harmony
With Jesus Christ shall have any
part in the regulation of the affairs
of the world. The church is q super
personal organization given by God
to heal the heart of a broken world.
The sovereignty of Jesus Christ be-
longs everywhere. 1t should be in
capital and labor for its proper and
just regulation. This is the secret
of a solution of three difficulties.
The conciliatory attitude of finance
to-day Is a miracle. Labor was never
as sane as 1t is to-day. Get down
into the columns away from the
head lines of your newspapers. Get
the real facts, the other side.

dent In which he suffered a stifr left

tifed he was driver and was run
over by a trip of cars.
The corporation introduced testi-
mony tending to show that Carroll
had violated instructions and had
jumped off on the wrong side of the
cars. Carroll testified he could not
get Off on the right side because
there was a muddy ditch there and
that the company knew 1t.
The jury, 1t Is understood, stood
two for the defendant and ten for
the plaintiff, and that more than 100

Young Man Sees Same
Strange Animal That
Hunter Saw on Ridge

Lewistown, Pa, Oct. IA. - Four
years ago one of the Oldest and best
known hunters of this section while
taking a Sunday walk on the big
ridge west of town saw an animal
with a head like a grounding and
a body like a fox. The old hunter
whose word is reliable in 25 years
of hunting in this section never be-
fore saw an animal of this descrip-
ton and he was unable to say to
what species of animal life 1T be-
longs. On Saturday Henry Miller
was on the hunt of chestnuts along
the mountain at the upper end OF
Ferguson Valley and saw an animal
of the same kind, likely the same
one seen on the ridge west of town
four years ago.

has given notice that the town is
to be cleaned up against a possible
outbreak of influenza. At its regular
meeting a formal notice was drafted
and posted. This notice provides
that both property owners and
tenants are to put all outbuildings,
closets. cesspools. chicken houses and
pigpens in order. The health board
suggests liberal use of lime and other
deoderents. The notice is given
yearly, but in the past has been ig-
nored by many citizens. The authori-
ties now insist that its terms be
carried out against an epidemic of
disease such as swept over the coun-
try last october and November.
