Rev. Rearick, next Sabbath evening, will
deliver a sermon on ‘Marriage Relations,”
and asks those who wish to hear the dis-
course to leave their false modesty at home
as it is his purpose to speak as plainly as the
Scriptures on the subject. Should Rev.
Rearick not fill the pulpit himself, his place
will be occupied by Rev. Gruver, of Lock
Haven, but in that event another subject
will receive attention.
It is generally accepted that Mrs. Katie
Durst, familiarly known as “Aunt Katie’’ to
both young and old in and about town, is the
generous person who will foot the bill for the
repainting of the Lutheran church in this
place. She is exceedingly modest and fre-
quently, when performing an act of charity,
makes the greatest efforts at secrecy. Her
deeds are so commendable that, sometimes
at least, they should be made public for the
influence they might have on others.
Miss Stapleton’s class in elecution is pro-
gressing and is satisfactory to both instruct-
or and students. The senior class consists
of Misses Flora Love, Grace Smith, Mabel
Keller, Grace Alexander, Ella Stover, Estie
Ocker, Stella Krise, Mrs. S. W. Smith and
Prof. E. J. Wolf; junior class, Emma Wolf,
Pearl Runkle, Helen Hosterman, Grace
Boob. The course of instruction will close
with an entertainment in the auditorium in
Grange park, Saturday evening, 10th inst.
The program will have many novel features
and promises to be full of interest. The au-
dience will have an opportunity to hear
something entirely unlike any previous en-
tertainments given here. The home talent
may bring surprises while the instructor is
capable of doing her part to perfection. Cen-
tre Hall’s most excellent orchestra will be
present.

was so seriously hurt that his death is daily
expected.

school at Clearfield, isat home at his father’s,
Prof. Weaver's, under the doctor’s care. We
hope he will recover soon as he is anxious to

We are sorry to note the illness of Miss
Maggie Bailey,daughter of Samuel H. Bailey.

covery.
The band picnic in our new park, last
week, was well attended by our people who
always delight in giving a warm welcome to
strangers and all the assistance they may

bands kept the air filled with music and the
light fantastic toe was tripped until late in
the morning when those who had missed the
last train were able to get home.
A number of our people attended the J. O.

guest of Charles Bierly over Sunday.
Rev, Rearick, of Centre Hall, was again
with us with his smiling face, last Friday

gone. ‘‘Mach des ivver eb long.
The following young people of Rebersburg

Vera Morris and Messrs. Ed Zeigler, Claud
Haines, Orvis Frank, Elra Krape and Harry
Corman.
The Brungart boys and Mr. Morris, who are

them will expel some extra Greek and Lat- |
in roots through the pores of their skin dur-
ing harvesting and haying.
Not only is nature in all her glory but
many of our buildings are made to ap-
pear beautiful by the hand of the skilled
artizan. Thomas Royer, John Smull,
C. C. Loose, the Baer sisters, W. J. Carlin,
W. S. Miller, and others have had their

ing a college graduate, tells us that Jackson’s
negro is still alive and is as young as ever,
not even having a gray hair.
Dr. Ed. Wolf, D. D., principal of the Get-
tysburg Seminary, who is now the guest
of his brother, John Wolf, near Rebersburg,
preached in the Lutheran church last Sun-
day afternoon and delivered a very good dis-
course on our duties to ourselves, our
neighbors and our God. He also gave a
fine talk, in the evening, during the exer-
cises of the woman’s missiouary society.
We wish to present again the necessity for
a fence at the high bank on the hill be-
tween Centre Millsand Spring Bank. There
isa place at which three teams have gone
over the bank, which is not less than sixty feet
high. So far no people or horses have been
killed, but very nearly so. This fence must
be made by the pike company but it seems
they are very slow in taking the hint. Only
a few weeks ago a two horse team, with
a load of wood, went down there at a
tumbling rate.
THE WOMAN'S MISSIONARY EXERCISES. —
Last Sunday evening in the Lutheran church
at Rebersburg plainly showed that the Luth-
erans are still the Lutherans in getting up
public exercises and entertainments. The
following was the program in general :
Musical prelude by Miss Grace Miller,
which was very fine. Opening prayer by
Rev. Mumma ; a dialogue duett by Mary
Myers and Lizzie Brindel; Recitation by
Emma Mumma, which was clear, and im-
pressive; solo, “Come Unto Me,” by Lizzie
Haines ; quartette by four little girls and
| singing by six boys both of which were good;
| recitation by Lizzie Brindel ; singing by six
little girls, each having a rattle, making an
appeal for missionary money ; recitation by
Mary Meyer ; singing and reciting by Sallie
Meyer ; address by Dr. Ed. Wolf, of Gettys-
burg Seminary. The address was very inter-
esting and inspiring. Quartette by Alma
Gramley, Lula Erkart, Claude Harris and
Mr. Bierly ; solo by Grace Miller; by special
request Prof. C. L. Gramley introduced Miss
Stapleton, her recitation was highly appre-
ciated by the audience. Address by Rev.
Mumma ; chorus by the society and the
benediction by Dr. Ed. Wolf. The
organiste for the exercises were Misses
Alma Gramley and Grace Miller, both
of whom are superior organists. The audi-
ence and the people in general at once noticed
the great improvement made by our young
people through the musical normal held
here in spring by Prof. Newcomber. The ex-
ercises in general were very fine, which
speaks well for our enterprising Christian
women,
Nittany Valley Items.
Mrs. Will Webner was taken ill very sud-
denly but is improving at present.
Dr. L. Yearick and wife, of Michigan, vis-
ited his sister, Mrs. E. J. Peck recently.
Ida McCaleb, of Birmingham seminary, is
spending the vacation with her parents.
Mrs. Thomas Shope, of Milesburg, visited
her parents, Rob’t. Tate and wife, recently.
Samuel Martin has been seriously ill, since
April, but at present is improving and able
to be around.
Mrs. Harriet Miller Magee. of Washing-
ton, D. C., visited Mrs. A. A. Pletcher last
week.
Rev. W. K. Diehl and wife have returned
from Gettysburg, where they spent four
weeks vacation visiting relatives and friends.
The picnic trains are running over the pic-
nic road, gathering up the quarters, also an
additional quarter to look inside the board
fence.
The peach crop of Nittany valley promises
to be the greatest ever known in the valley.
It has been estimated at four thousand bush-
els.
Mrs. A. Pletcher attended the reunion, at
Pine Grove. Her father, Jacob Zimmerman,
was one of the trustees during Prof. Thomas’
occupancy of the Academy building.
The Nittany Cornet band donned their
suits of blue, and hied themselves off to
Hublersburg last week. one evening, and
favored the citizens of that place with some
excellent music
Misses Dora Shope and Maggie Tweed de-
serve praise for the excellent manner in
which they recited at Children’s day services.
The entire exercise was a success and should
be encouraged in future years.
Elmer Emerick, cashier of the Susquehanna
bank, at Williamsport, spent Sunday with
his brother Joe. By energy and honest
dealing he has gained the confidence of busi-
ness men, and is an honor to his parents and
relatives.
James Lord, of Reynoldsville, visited his
old homestead this week. He traversed the
distance, 82 miles, on his wheel in one day’s
trip. Mr. Lord is engaged in teaching and
by diligent study has risen to a high stand-
ing in educational ranks.
Porter township directors, of the adjoining
county of Clinton, do not propose to be dis-
couraged during this slow siege of prosperity
but have added an additional month to their
schools, making seven month’s term. They
have not lowered the salary of the ‘‘jolly old
pedagogue,” or increased the taxes. The
“Merrick tax bill” will increase the
school appropriations in country districts.
How many townships of Centre county will
imitate their example ?
We find a difference of opinion among road
supervisors, some using crushers and good
foundations, others preferring the cussed ma-
chine called a ‘‘road scraper” to pile up mud
so the roads are impassable during autumn
and spring and cause man to regret that he
was born without wings, which restricts him
from flying over the mud. We suggest that
all the supervisors, of the county take a day
off, picnic at Hecla park, and discuss the
Noah and Edward Yearicks are home from
the lumber regions, the latter being sick.
They gave an idea of the rapid devastation
of the forests when they stated that some
crews are cutting thirty-five thousand feet a
‘day. All are to average twenty-five thous-
and. Some camps have four crews, which
counts one hundred thousand per day, and |
in forty days forty-four million feet. At
this rapid stride our forests will soon be
wiped from the face of the earth.
“Dancing and Card Playing.”
The readers of the DEMOCRATIC WATCH-
MAN, in its last week’s issue, were given
some comments under the above title, on a
| sermon I preached in our parish, June 13th,
The critic was either too dishonest or too in-
different to report me correctly, hence this
reply.
His first criticism is that the text did not
warrant the remarks. True, because he does
notreport the text we used. We used Ex.
32:26 and he reports Ex. 32:19. If he was
not interested enough in what he wrote to
make sure that he was giving the proper text,
can anything else be accepted he said : ‘No!
emphatically, no.”” Here is the text: —
“Who is on the Lord’s side? let him come
unto me.”” Theme ;—The Two Sides. Does
it warrant this theme?
After stating the two sides I spoke of the
readiness of the Levites to forsake the golden
calf and take a firm stand on the Lord’s
side. Also of the reluctance of the other
tribes to do the same. So, we said, it is to-
day. Some promptly heed the call and
stand up for Christ and his church. Others
also desire to be christians and go so far as to
unite with the church and meet some of the
requirements, but they will keep a grip on
some idol. To illustrate this point I referred
to moderate drinking,dancing and card play-
ing. Did the theme warrant these illustra-
tion ?
The second criticism is based on some of
the reasons I gave why card playing and
dancing are not congenial to the Lord’s side.
I said certain modes of dancing, such as the
worthies of the scriptures practiced. and card-
playing in itself considered, are as innocent
as a game of ball or any other innocent game.
Nothing specially could be said against these
arts were it not for two things: First, the
weakness of human nature and the lack of
moral courage on the part of man to say no
when the danger lineis reached. Second,
the fact that these arts are to-day made the
vehicles of fearful vice. Because so many
young people start with the innocent feature
but soon end in corruption and the gambling
hall.
“On a parallel with this thought” I said:
The children of Israel were introduced to
idolatry in Egypt; had they not had this
idolatrous principle instilled in them in
the land of bondage they would not have
worshiped the golden calf at Sinai, and had
they not horrowed the gold trinkets from
their neighbors, their act of borrowing we can
not stop to explain, the golden calf would not
be a fact in history. We, in no sense, inti-
mated that it was the presence of the gold
trinkets that brought about the golden calf,
but the idolatrous principle that was learned
in Egypt. Both these garbled quotations
were in connection with arguments intend-
ing this point, that man, if possible, should
avoid that which may prove an irresistable
temptation to evil.
