ssThe Triumph of Truth
By Miss Gertrude Ema,,uelsom

By Mass Gertrude Ema11ueLsOM
We would consider that before the earth
was formed
laid,
God thought of US and chose us one by one,
And begat us unto lively Hope
By the resurrection of His Son.
When Jesus walked in Galilee,
And to the twelve disciples whom He called,
Told of Gods Love and Sacrifice to man;
In the process of His Eternal Plan
Multitudes there were who rose and fol-
lowed Him,
Whom He had healed and cleansed from
sin,
Who loved Him for His Truth revealed
By Power Divine and Holy Spirit sealed.
Yet this Truth, this wondrous Light,
Grew cold and dim = rejected by mems
hearts,
Who letting self aggrandized be,
Let treasures slip away from them - yes,
willingly,
That pleasure and earth's glories vain
/ Could fill greater place in heart and brain.
Yes, the Truth Of Gods Love for man,
Of His great gifts to those who love Him
Was almost gone - and man stood lost -
alone
| In a wilderness of woe = trusted in man
For healing, for mama and for life,
For deliverance from a world of strife.
But where the bearers of the truth
Whom God in mercy ever sent
AS stepping stones to Christ - to fuller
Light
Accepted, as along the narrow path they
Giving man the message to repent?
AS the centuries rolled on,
The way to Life and Peace was lost to man.
God thought of us and knew it was the
time
For us to live - and know the Truth.
This He revealed to man with motives
high
Who for His Lord would even dare to die
That man might find life in dying to sin
and. self.
The truth of healing by Gods power Divine
In the name of Jesus Christ His Son,
Was shown to him when, all alone,
Our Restorer, on Australia's shore,
Stood by the bedside of little Child
She had been stricken with a plague,
And now her life was ebbing fast away.
In anguish DR.. Dowie looked
Upon the face of that dying child;
Well he knew that many more had gone,
And in that land were nevermore to smile.
The pestilence ragged on;
The sicknesses of many more increased.
For the first time in many years
The Way of Life was sought in tears =
For men had trampled on the Blood of
Christ =
Denied the Power it gave,
Flowing from the Savior's side.
Our Restorer lifted up his eyes;
Unto the Hills he cried in anguish then
For the saving Of this child,
And closed his prayer with grand amen. y
Then, because God heard his voice
Because the Pearl of Truth was found =
God blessed him and his power increased -
The power of God with man.
But there was sacrifice to make,
Nor was the purchase price too high,
That the beauty of this Pearl of Worth
Might be revealed to ALL
AS these revealed ideals, with impelling
power,
Attract us until they are attained,
Experienced, and lived within us,
Having been loved and sought for long
But now are actualized and grasped and
held :
So we would follow Jesus
Through joys, through pleasure and through
pain,
And in the Name Of this Blessed Son Of
God,

VALUE OF COAL
LANDS REDUCED
Northumberland County Com
missioners Accept $24,00O,OOO
Instead of $117,O0O,O0O

Sunbury, Pa, Dec. 31.--EXpecta-
tions of the taxpayers of Northum-
berland county to see the coal conf
panies operating in the county pay
an equitable share of the taxes were
dispelled here when the County
Commissioners, acting as a board of
revision, dropped from the estimate
of s117,000,000. which they had
placed on the coal lands, and ac-
cepted the figures proposed by the
coal companies amounting to q little
more than $24,O0O,0O0.
The action of the board came as
a surprise to those who had fol-
lowed the course of events since
they undertook to make the COM
panies pay in proportion to the value
of their properties.
The motion to accept the figures
advanced by the companies was
made by Fred Dornsife, retiring
member of the board. 1t was sec
onded by John J. Roach, who was
reelected member of the new
board. S. Harry Mckinney, retir-
ing member. voted against the mo-
ton, but was overruled by the other
two members.
The $24,000.000 figure will stand
for three years. In 1922 the present
board Will have opportunity to again
seek n more equitable figure. This
hight has been in progress for more
than 15 years, and bids fair to con-
unue until just valuation is
reached.

MYSTERY MAKES
It IMPOSSIBLE
Imitation Is Set at Defiance by
Tanlac. Famous New
Medicine.

"1anlac." There is magic in its
name, which is to-day a household
word in this community, where it's
fame is as widespread as the bright,
smiling sunshine.
''Tanlac is the result of scientific
research" said the Tanlac Man.
Its ingredients are gathered from
the remotest parts of the earth and
compounded by skilled chemists
even as mysteriously as famous
mineral waters are formed. The
science of man, competitive chemist
skill and acquired medical lore are
set at defiance in so far as imitation
is concerned.
'"Tanlac, has and is now proving
invaluable in cases of stomach, liver
and kidney troubles, as we'll as ca
tarrh. AS u general tonic and
stomach:c for half-sick, rundown,
listless men and women, it builds up
the system, creates a healthy appe-
tite, promotes digestion, vitalizes the
blood, and brings back color to the
cheeks and the sparkle of health to
the eyes" The genuine J. l. Gore
Co. Tanlac is now sold here by

one in our little community keep
this spiritual fire, this spiritual
torch burning alive in our hearts. To
quote the words of one of the great
est men who ever lived.
Ye have been called to liberty,
but use not liberty, for an occasion

selfish ends, but in love serve one
another for all the law is fulfilled

neighbor as thyself.' So let us keep
burning brightly and hold high the
