CHURCH.—This event on which the hopes and expectations of our Metho* dist poeplo have been centered for weeks past took place on Sunday last and the services throughout were of the most impressive and pleasant char acter. On Saturday evening Presiding Elder L-idv, ot Altoona preached a powerful sermon from His that "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life," af forded a special opportunity to dwell upon the great blessing which God's gift proves to this world and to impress the people with the immeasurable love and mercy ol our creator. The dis course was indeed a very appropriate and able introductory for the occasion. On Sunday morning early a bright sky and the sweet notes of the church bell invited the memt>ers of the congre i grtion to come to their new house of worship and participate in a "love feast." At about ten o'clock the christian population of Millheim streamed to the church to attend the dedicatory services and in a very short time the handsome auditorium was well tilled. Besides Revs. Leidy and Heck man, Rev. E. J. Gray, D. D. Piesident of Dickinson Seminary, Will iamsport. Pa., and Itey. DeMoyer, of HoutzJa'e, Pa. who abuot 25 years ago labored on this charge as the M. E. pastor, were present to assist in the work of dedicating. After the singing of several hymns by the congregation Rey. Gray offered up a stirring prayer and then proceeded to preach his ser mon, taking the prayer of Christ re corded in John 17: 15 for his text. He stated in the first place that Christ's words "I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil" must be viewed first in a negative and theu in a positive sense. He spoke of the individual and general mission of Je c uß and plainly illustrated the Christian's duty to perform his mission in the time slotted to him on this side of eternity. Heexplained how through the ministry of trials the Christian may gain a better and higher triumph, and though everything about him look dark and dreary it will all serve to make him a purer child of God and tend to glorify the Heavenly Father. He pointed out b <w all things iuuature unfold and tell of God, thus to remind us that He wants man to be everything. In forcible language Dr. Gray told his hearers that God mostly honors man's character and though your station in life may be lowly you may do llis work more effectually acd build up a nobler christian character than men in better worldly circumstances. The main question with us should not be how little we can do for God, but how much, and the first and negative part of Christ's prayer has particular refer ence to the Christian's work while per mitted to sojourn here. The speaker then went on to the second division of his text, teiling of the continuous struggle of mankiud with evil' terming sin an organized power and showing that Christ's prayer was for the defeat of evil. Jesus' gieatest desire is that no man be defeated in the continuous and fierce battle with Satan. He closed his edifyiog remarks by expressing his firm belief that the world's army of Christian soldiers, fighting the noble fight of Christ's cause is daily growing larger and that Christianity in stead of going down is gaining in power at a rate that promises the conversion of the entire worth In the end Dr. Gray's words were listened to witn the closest attentiou and his audience seemed greatly pleased with the amount of in struction and knowledge given them by the able and learned divine. The next important task on hand was the raising of SHOO, the debt rest ing on the church which had to be wip ed out on that da/. RevJ Gray went to work with a will and succeeded in soliciting sucscriptions amounting to over S7OO. The morning services then came to a close and everybody hurried home to be ready in time for the chil dren's meeting which was held in the afternoon at 3 o'clock. As may be piesupposed the church was packed to its utmost capacity, the half of the seats in the front part being reserved for the Sunday school scholars. The meetinj was opened by singing and prayer and then followed addresses by Revs. DeMoyer, Leidy and Gray. The Doctor interested the children yery much by his "pig talk." On this oc casion SIOO were raised in the name of the Sunday school and the exercises we considered a success all a-ound. In the evening the pulpit was filled by Rev. DeMoyer who preached a splendid and effective sermon from Phil. 3: 8. A crowded church greeted the speaker who has many old acquain tances and friends in this place. He alluded to the knowledge of God spok en of in his text in a twofold way—an historical and experimental knowledge and called special attention to the thought that while the former is a nec essary adjunct of religion the latter is the most essential in obtaining final salvation. Dr. Gray followed with a few re marks slating that to complete the day's work it was necessaiyto raise the remaining 8250 and subscriptions were taken to cover that amount. Rev. Ileckman stated that the total ! cost of repairing the church was 83047 and it afforded htm great pleasure to see the undertaking crowned with such good success. All joined then in singing the doxology with grateful hearts sud feelings of renewed rever enee for God. —lf you want ;o make your friends happy give them a valuable Christmas present and at Durham Bros. & G'J. is the place to buy it. —FRANK'S great Novelty Store will open Friday morning.

He was a native of Germany, but came to this country many years ago, settling first, we believe, at Aaronsburg, Centre Co., and then re moving to Mifflinburg. He was about 60 years old.— Lewisburg Journal. —Mr. W. A. Tobias, of this place, received a letter from 11. 11. Tomlin son, Ellsworth, Kansas, giving the sad information that his little daughter "Maud" died December Bth, of diptheria, aged seven years. Many of our readers will remember little Maud as a bright and lovable child, and will sympathize with Mr. & Mrs. Tomlin son in their affliction. THE LATEST ENTERPRISE. —J. H. Musser & Son, of Aaronsburg, expect to occupy H. E. Dock's new store room on Main street with a boot and shoe store by about next week. We under stand that this firm will keep a large and well-selected variety of goods and it is gratifying to know that, being a specialty store, people will be able to get almost anything the market pro duces in the boot and shoe line. We heartily welcome these business men to our thriving little town. AFTER DlPTHEßlA.—Diptheria is a terrible disease, requiring the greatest medical skill to effect a complete cure. Even when its power is broken, it clings to the patient with great per sistency, and often leaves the system poisoned and prostrated. Just here Hood's Sarsaparilla does a vast amount of good, expelling impurities from the blood, giving it richness and vitality, while it renovates and strengthens the system. —Our advertising columns are crowded with holiday announcements of our merchants aud not the least among them is B. O.Deininger's Journal store column. If you are undecided what to buy for your friends consult the Jour nal store advertisement and you are sure to And just what you want. It is conceded on all sides that the Journal Store on Penn street is Santa Claus' regular stopping place. Come and see. No charges for taking a look at the goods. THE FIRST KEEN TWINGE.—As the season advances, the pains and aches by which rheumatism makes itself known, are experienced after every ex posure. It is not claimed that Hood's Sarsaparilla is a specific for rheuma tism—we doubt if there is, or can be, such a remedy. But the thousands benefited by Ilood's Sarsaparilla, war rant us in urging others who suffer from rheumatism to take it before the first keen twinge. IT WILL PA Y YOU I—lt tvdl pay you to cull and look over the superb stock of Holiday floods displayed in our fancy floods Department.

CHRISTMAS GREETING.—Do you re alize that the most gratifying work you can do during the coming festive season is to GIVE, and to give liberally to your children, patents aud friends Y You don't need much money to do this, be cause you can buy lots of nice things at Kauffman's Mammoth Holiday Depot at comparatively small cost. —Jas. D. Lose vacated his residence on Penn street to make room for David Miller, who bought the property some time ago. Mr. Lose moved to Michael Maize's on North street last Saturday. David Miller's moved to ther new place of residence on Tuesday. —S. 11. Alter and S. D. Jfiller, two of the JOURNAL compositors are con fined to the house with sickness. The former suffered with neuralgia and is doing better at this writing. The lat ter has an abscess in his right cheek which maycausehimconsiderable pain and trouble for the next few weeks. If any one man needs sympathy in sick ness it is the poor and busy printer and the editor earnestly hopes to see his ty pos at the case again in a short time. ALWAYS TOO FAST.—Time flies fast enough for busy people. But our town clock seems bound to hurry us on at least half an hour faster every day. There is a continual controversy about time in this place. The mantel clocks and the watches as a general thing show near railroad time and the conse quence is that nobody knows which is right. We would suggest that the town clock be regulated properly or else be stopped altogether. A FATAL ACCIDENT.—A four year old child of Andrew Weayer, residing in the mountains along Penns Cretk fell into a tub of boiling water last Friday and was so badly scalded that it died of its injuries on Monday fore noon. The mother on the morning of the accident was preparing to wash and had filled a tub with hot water for that purpose. The child, unnoticed by the parent and ignorant of its danger, was playing by the side of the tub, when the unfortumate tumble occurred, which subsequently cost its life. The grief of the parents may be imagined in this theirsad affliction. —Lieut. W. W. Bierly Post 298, G.

Further in formation will lie given later on. —Frank Miller's "Unele Tom's Cab in" troupe, twenty strong played in the town hall of this place on Monday eve ning. Their performances were excel lent and were witnessed by a fair house. The play is one of the most popular on the stage and our people being well acquainted with the story naturally were much interested in the troupe's rendition of it. The only thing to be regretted is the yery limited space which our old hall affords for such plays. The actors were too much cramped to do full justice to their roles, nor was it possible to display their fine sceneries to good advantage. The troupe carries a splendid brass band aud orchestra. —One of our readers in Sugarvalley furnishes us with the following items of news : On Friday last while Jacob Gephart and wife, of Millheim, weie on their home road their horse became unman agable and the result was a runaway. The occupants of the cutter were spilt out but no serious damage was done. On the same evewing Mr. Wm Gren ninger drove to town with two -ladies and also had a runaway. The sleigh was UDset and completely wrecked, the ladies receiving some injuries. The horse ran as far as Booneville, a dis tance of three miles, where he was caught.

Kreamer's died on last Saturday and was buried on the Lutheran ceme tery on the following Tuesday morning. Rev. Deitzler conducted the funeral sei vices. Immediately south of Mr. D. 11. Rote's residence, on the new road lead ing to Coburn, building lots have been sold to the following parties : Wilraer Stover, C W Burd, Clatk Herman, Turb Kieamer, Clayton Wyle, Ira Gramley, Wilson Butd, Frank Tomlin son. I think we will be able in the near future to report still another lot of parties who purchased building lots. The buys mean business. Occasionally we see one traveling Coburn-wards with shovel and hoe to prepare for the foundation walls. Eight dwelling houses to begin with in the spiing, Not so bad for old Aaronsbuig. Some one said there will be a musical convention in the old German Reform ed church during the month of Janua ry. The exact date of its commence ment has not yet been given. Rumor says that several gentlemen from Aaronsburg will open a boot and shoe store in Millheim in the near fu ture. Ilow is it, Mr. Editor. Can you give us any further light on this matter ? ANOTHER. GREEN BRIAR. On Thursday of last week Ilenry Wingard shot another large deer. The hunters will have to hurry themselves if they want mauy more deer as this is the last month in which they dare shoot deer lawfully. The spelling bee recently held in the mountain school was a success. But what became of the teacher right after wards V Certain persons in this neighborhood have a very cowardly way of seeking revenge. They write the handboards on the public road full of matter derog atory to the character of their neigh bors. If they but knew how they be little themselves by such actions they would stop it at once. Mr. G* W. Stover disposed of one of his horses for $205. A Lock Haven party bought it. Dan'l Gentzel bought a fine horse at the recent horse sale at Millheim. The finest lot of turkeys in the valley may be seen at Calvin Stover's. He has over 300 of them, some weighing as much as 33 pounds. The Harter bot s also Jhave over 100 turkeys ready for the market. If only enough of the festive birds will be kept here for the holidays, then all is well. Quite a number of our young folks attended the protracted meeting in pro gress at Coburn last Sunday evening.

As usual one of Coburn's pugilists was there to raise a disturbance and make noise in order to let the people know that he was on hand. Happily there were some who would not stand this kind of play and tired him out. If people must get drunk they should know enough to stay away from snch places. On Thursday last Jacob Witinyer and Samuel Ulrich did the boss clays work in ice hauling. They had cut and hauled about 85 ton of ice, tilling the ice houses of Jos. Kleckner, Samuel Ulrich and W. H.

Merchant Vonada caught several young chaps stealing tubaoco and somo other articles in ids store the other day. A number of boys are seen loafing arouud the railroad daily,when they should be improv ing their time iu the schoolroom. We do not know if their parents are aware of the fact, but they should be looked after. Albert Wilson, of the candy manufacturing firm of Wilson Bros., Mifllinburg. spent Friday night in the village. By hard work and square dealing Albert has built up a nice trade in Centre county. VALE. —YOUR tooth is too sound to be ex tracted, yet you cannot endure the ago ny it is inflicting.
