RKDEDICATION OF TIIK M. E.
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.

—Minadore Sell ware, an aged citizen
of Mifllinburg, died recently or pneu
monia. 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

—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.

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.

The occupants of the cutter were spilt

On the same evewing Mr. Wm Gren
