THE PILGRIMS SONG

By Evangelist John Moses Baker
Oh, l want to love Jesus forever;
With all of thy heart he's my own.
Oh, l want to be faithful and serve
him,
And some day make heaven my
| home.
Will you promise to meet me up
yonder,
Where the streets are all paved
with pure gold;
Oh, l have glad story to tell you,
It's story that never grows old.
Some day on the wings of an angel,
I'll be carried to realms of
delight,
Where the loved ones are waiting to
to greet us,
In that city where cometh no
night.
Now out on life's ocean we're
sailing,
And bound for that evergreen
shore; ~
We anchor at last in that harbor,
Where the storm clouds will come
never more.
Oh, am so happy in Jesus;
i. Been redeemed by the blood OF the
Lamb.
He is mine now forever and ever;
1 am His, praise His name, yes
o, the warfare will soon now be
over,
Every battle be fought and be
won;
Soon the Master will come, and will
call us,
And say to the faithful: "well
Done"
Can be sung to the tune of The
Prisoners Song,

SUNSHINE AS YoU GO !.

= g.
BY Evangelist John, M. Baker
The world has need of sunshine as
you go,
For we often see the tears of sorrow
flow;
You can haste that coming dey
When they will all be wiped away,
If you scatter blessed Sunshine as
you go.
You can labor for the Master as
you go,
Plant the precious seed and He will
bid it grow;
Toiling on what'er betide
With the Savior by your side.
YouScan scatter blessed sunshine as
you 60.
You will meet with many trials as
you go.
There will be some self-denfals here
below;
But keep looking still above
And remember God is love,
While. you scatter blessed sunshine
: as you go.
Some day when life is over here
below,
And the Master calls for you and
you must go,
Ever faithful, kind and true,

Much political capital, especitlly in
Hartford county, has been made over
the rumors that the Susquehanna
Power Company, which is building
the new Conowingo dam, would in
the course of time; request and eX-
pect from the County Commissioners
and Legislators exemption from tax
alton, privilege that can under the
law be extended to industrial plants.
Both counties will benefit from the
dam by taxes, hence any such rumors
as have been going the rounds, find
ready credence.
Interviewed concerning the rumors
the officials of the company stated
they had heard them, but did not feel
they were of sufficient importance to
dignity them by denial. They fur
Their stated that they had no inten-
ton nor thought of applying to
either county officials or the state for
relief from taxation, o.. B. Carcaud,
supervisor of assessments, says that
when the dam is completed the tax
assessment for Hartford County on the
dam will amount to SIS, 100000
People Interested in the project say
it will not reach this figure. They
expect it to go lower, between $15,-
100000 and $2O,0O0,000.
Mr.. Carcaud, points out the cree
tion of the dam will cost about $751;
100000. While some of the project
will be in Cecil county the machinery
and buildings will be on the Hartford
side.

THE BEST WAY

To hold your old customers is to
treat them as well as if they
were new.
To win an argument is to have the
least to say.
To make friends is to appreciate the
best and ignore the worst.
To avoid trouble tomorrow its to
start none today,
To show concern for your wife is by
making some provision for your
widow.
To command the respect of others
is to deserve it.
To climb to success is by making
each step an honorable one.

THE MIRACLE" HAS APPEAL
FOR ALL CREEDS, RACES
AND NATTONALTTTES

FUR ALL CHEEDS, RACES
AND NATIONALITIEs
The Miracle" the music-drama.
lsuper-spectacle production by Max
Reinhardt, which Mooris Gest will
present at the Metropolitan Opera
House, Philadelphia Penna., for an
engagement limited to five weeks,
beginning Monday. October 4th,
appeals to all creeds, races and
nationalities.
This has been proved by the
tremendous success of 1.-The Mir
acle' in various countries of
Europe and in six large cities OF
the United States.
] A most instructive aspect of all
Miracle" productions abroad and
even in America was the difference
in the attitude of the theatrical wise
acres and the public toward the
theme of the pantomime. 1.-THE
Miracle" is based on an early
Christian legend. Its dramatic
presentation requires the performing
of Roman Catholic rites and
ceremonies
To attempt such thing in Pro-
restant London, was considered stark
madness by the London theatrical
experts to repeat the venture in
Roman Catholic Vienna was con-
sidered sheer lunaey by wise men
of, the theatre in the Austrian
capital But Reinhardt was not
to be inundated. He could not
understand why, of three great
forces moving the human soul
| (religion, hunger and love,) the
noblest and most important one
should be tabooed in the theatre
Reinhardt contended that if the
theatre is anything, it is a reflex of
the human soul, it is a mirrow of
human life, and as such, it should
not be crippled. With the irrepres-
sible optimism of all great creators,
he refused to consider the lower
instincts of his public it's jeal-
ousies and fears, it's prejudices and
conventions. He preferred to rely
on it's nobler sentiments, on its
higher desires, and he was fully
vindicated. Protestant London, Pro-
testant Germany and Protestant
Scandinavia hailed THE Miracle
just as enthusiastically as Roman
Catholic Austria or Bavaria, or as
Greek Oriental Roumania.
And the Jews, who everywhere
belong to the keenest theatregoers,
enjoyed the purity and the beauty
of "The Miracle legend without any
misgivings about its Roman Cath
Ollie atmosphere.
In London and Scandinavia many
Protestant bishops and ministers
visited ''The Miracle performances
dozens of times. The same hap
pened in Vienna, where Cardinal
Archbishop Nagel attended the
dress rehearsal. And in the early
spring of 1924, Pope Plus x
gave an audience to the Florentine
actress, Maris Carmi, who origi-
mated the part of the Madonna in
London, and to Karl Vollmoeller,
the author of g The Miracle Pope
Plus was greatly interested in the
history of the Miracle" He ap-
preciated the artistic spirit of the
production, and ended the audience
by blessing Maria Carmi. In Amer
lea, Catholic and Protestant, Jew
and Gentle have made up the vast
audiences that have witnessed per-
formances of "The Miracle and all
have lavished praise upon it,

Senator O. E. Weller Offers Rare
Field Seeds to Farmers of
The State.

Senator Weller, in keeping with
the interest he has always shown in
the farmers of Maryland, has arrang-
ed to obtain from the Department of
Agriculture few packages of rare
field seed which he wishes to distrib-
ute for test purposes.
For the information of those who
may desire to take advantage of the
opportunity which the Senator is
making possible in this connection, it
may be stated that each package of
the seeds contains a sufficient guam
tity for a satisfactory field test and
that the following varieties are avail
able: Kansas-grown alfalfa, Korean
lespedoza, Virginia soybeans and SUI
dan grass. All requests should be adj
dressed to Senator o. E. Weller, 227
Senate Office Building, Washington,
D. C.
AS the Senator was able to pro-
cure only a limited number of these
seeds and since they are all intended
for early spring planting, it is sug-
gested that all interested parties let
him hear from them by March Goth.

New CabOOses to be Used on B.
& o. Railroad.

Fifty new late model B. & O. Rail-
road cabooses, being built at the COM
pany's shops at Washington, Ind, will
be used on freight trains operating
between Cumberland and Grafton.
The new cabooses are a great i'm
provement over the old style cabooses
now in service on the Cumberland d.
vision. They have four-wheel double
trucks instead of the single trucks on
the old cabooses; are longer than the
old type and are thoroughly equipped
for the comfort of trainmen. They
also have steel underframes and are
solidly built so that they can be push
ed over the mountains where helpers
are required. 1t is necessary to put
the old type caboose on the rear of
the trains when helpers are used so
as to keep them from being crushed,
and this practice necessitates consid-
cradle extra switching.

RODEHEAVER AND LAWSON
RELEASED UNDER BOND
Two Preston County wv. Va.)
Men, Held In Local Jail, on a
Charge of Murder, Out.

Judge Albert A. Doub, of Cumber-
land, spent last Saturday in Oakland
where he was engaged during the
day hearing number of matters, the
most important being the habeas cor
pus proceedings instituted for the re-
least from the Garrett County Jail of
Homer Rodeheaver and Joseph Law
son, two Preston county West Va.)
young men who have been in prison
here since December 23rd last on a
charge of murder in connection with
the death of Andrew Matthews, an
other Preston county youth, caused,
it is alleged, by the administration of
a drink of moonshine liquor given the
victim few days prior as the parties
concerned were on their way home
from Friendsville, Md, where Mat
thews had hauled load of lumber
and which town it is claimed Rode
HEAVIER and Lawson secured the pois-
oned liquor.
1t is alleged that Matthews drank
the liquor while yet on Maryland soil
and that his death occurred shortly
after he had crossed into West Vir-
ginia with his companion, who was
also engaged in hauling lumber from
saw mill in West Virginia to the
railroad at Friendsville for shipment.
In the case before Judge Doub on
Saturday Messrs. E. R. Jones and j.
G. Renninger represented Rodeheaver
and Lawson and by order of the Court
they were released from custody after
furnishing bonds in the sum of $500
for their appearance at the June Term
of the Circuit Court.
Peter Wilt, convicted at the De-
cember Term with Fred. Green on a
charge of assault, and who was not
sentenced at the time by the Court
owing to the illness of members of
Wits family, was before the Court
for sentence Saturday afternoon. In
stead, however, of passing sentence
Judge Doub placed Wilt under bond
in the sum of $500 for his appearance
at the June Term.

GOitre Prevention Planned III
Cumberland.

The city and county health author
tiles at Cumberland are making ar
engagements to conduct a goitre pre-
vention campaign in Cumberland the
first week in February. About three
years ago the school children of Ale
gany and Garrett counties We're ex-
amined by physicians employed by the
Public Athletic League of Maryland.
Among other defects it was found
that large number of children were
suffering from simple goitre. This
condition is due to the lack of iodide
salts in the water supply. Prevention
consists merely of adding iodide salts
to the diet, which can be accomplished
in various ways.

Teachers Protest Dancing Ban.

A storm OF protest mas been raised
over at Bayard, dozen miles from
Oakland, and in West Virginia, over
the action of the local school board
in putting ban on teachers dancing.
This rule affects local teachers only,
while those from adjoining districts
in the same county and State attend
dances at Bayard and take part in
the pleasure. Bayard teachers say
they are made "wall flowers" by this
old-fashioned and out-of-date restric-
ton and that the school board should
remove it or else the ban as far as
the teachers are concerned, should be
Statewide.
