hood the conditions will seem to be altogether different. Then the years, with their crowd- ed trials, their crushing sorrows, their bur- dening exactions, their solemn realities, their grave responsibilities, their fearful forebod- ings and their checkered issues, will carry the traveler onward ata quick and seemingly dangerous rate of speed. Talk to the busy man or woman of the world and they will say: Oh how time flies! Yes, we must move on. No time to stop and have holidays. Duties must be discharged and trusts guard- ed. But thisis not all. People act different- ly while journeying ou a railway. One man enters the coach, lies down to sleep till the end of the journey is reached. He seems wholly unconcerned about all around him. This may do for a railway sleeper, but it savors of extreme folly on the part of the child of God with respect to the momentous events of life. The latter dare not sleep away life’s eventful hours. ’Tis a sad commentary on human life to hear of people sleeping through it, seemingly 4 of God, the redemptive works of Christ, and the terrors of an approaching judgment. Unimproved years will never roll back again. Time's flight is not backward, but onward. Present duties demand present activities ; present time requires present improvement. Life’s true business is none other than heaven’s business. What men do here will be known hereafter. Our web of existence 1s now in the loom. Itis our sacred business to give the proper woof and warp to the textare. Again, life may be compared with a railway journey when we note. THE SHIFTING SCENERY. II. A long journey by rail enables one to: behold many sights and witness diversified matters. The scenery is changing all the while. It is largely so with life’s journey. Life, when properly viewed, is not wholly monotonous. It is not all valley of woe, nor all mountain of joy. In childhood, for in- stance, the scenery of life is largely in the play-ground, or in the school room, or in the enjoyments of a happy home. The hours are not alike ; the scenes, like the falling and tumbling colored prisms in the kaleido- scope, are coutinually changing. But this is not all. Changes come and go as life ad- vances. To-day we may be called upon to bend over the bed where lies, in physical anguish, one of our near and dear friends. To-night we may spend our fleeting moments in keeping vigil over the corpse that on the morrow shall be laid to rest in God’s acre. Next week our vision may be attracted by scenes of distress, or our ears made to tingle with the reports of coming joy. And still more changes come and go. Old age, with its infirmities, will pencil pictures on our faces and bent forms, evidencing the fact that life’s burdens were heavy and its trials many, while, however. we realize the per- ceptible loss of bodily vigor we will be made to experience the uplifting power of divine The physical may be ready for the cold and silent tomb, and the spiritual for prepared mansions of sweet rest. But let changes come if they will, it still remains for us to be constant and progressive in the ser- vice of our adorable Master. Nothing should daunt us. Faithfulness inthe Master's ser- vice here will be rewarded with a palm and crown of glory in the new heavens and the new earth. Again, life can be compared with a railway journey when we think of OUR FELLOW PASSENGERS. III. Here, too, we must observe the at- tendant circumstances as they connect them- selves with railway travel. The train is al- ways taking onand letting off, so to speak. At any rate we are constantly losing old companions and finding new ones. All this pictures to our minds the condition of the traveling sons-and daughters of men as they journey from the cradle to heaven. Disease, accident and death do their work. From our sides and homes are taken the veteran fath- ers and mothers. Their kind voices are hushed ; their encouraging smiles are gone ; their famihar forms are lifeless, and their earthly places shall know them no more. Then, too, the prattling child of a few sum- mers and the tender infant on its mother’s bosom are removed by death. But the end is not yet. ~ Youth develops into manhood, and the young are ushered into existence. The train of life moves on and we go with it.” Not all persons moving with us, perhaps, are the most congenial souls. The same fact is illus- trated in a railway journey. In neither case dare we stop. Life, however, is intended for improvement and not for retrogression. Amid all the perplexities that arise and the adverse circumstances that crowd in we ought to be guided by the spirit of our dear Lord, and determine that the nearness of a happy completion of life, with its rich prom- ises hanging over our heads and heats, is far in excess of claims to priority among quern- lous men. In the last place we observe that life can be compared with a railway journey when we think of THE END OF THE JOURNEY. IV. Asevery railway hasan end, so has life—earthly life. But how different are the characters that get off at the final stations. One, for instance, is a criminal. An officer awaits his coming and bears him off to a prison. So will be with some on life's train. Sin- ners cannot escape the wrath of a just God. The divine tribunal must be faced. The Bible says, ‘‘Be sure your sin will find you out.”” God is not mocked. But there is another phase to this part of our subject. A passenger alights from the cars and is met by family and friends. All rejoice to see him. His course has been manly and up- right. He goes to a comfortable home and is happy in his earthly surroundings. So, too, with the true chi.d of God. His appearance is heroic and marked by the in- signia of au upright man. Having fought the good fight of faith he beholds heaven opening with its celestial splendors. Heav- en’s citizens await the blood bought one. He has made a “prosperous journey by the will of God,” and is now ready to occupy a place with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Happy traveler! Thy journey is at an end. No distressing associations will ever haunt thee. Home at last, and that forever. And all because a request was made for a prosper- ous journey. Oh, the power of prayer with God ! Itopens heaven and touches the great loving heart of God. A true request will be granted. God designs to hear the sincere suppliant. Rebersburg. A great many of our little folks are afflict- ed with whooping cough. Geo. Weber wears a broad smile since the arrival of that little stranger at his home last week. Supt. Gramley was on the sick list part of last week, but we are happy to state that he is again fully recovered. Loyd Walker, of Kreamerville, wears an exceedingly broad smile since the arrival of that little stranger at his house. He says it is a boy. : Edith Detwiler, daughter of H, A. Det- wiler, has had a severe attack of pneumonia and whooping cough. but at this writing is convalescent. The United Evangelical protracted meet- ing was in progress last week and will con- tinue this week. Thus far there has been but one penitent. The Epworth League, of the Methodist church at Kreamerville, itend to have an entertainment in the near future. Look out for something good. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Stover made a visit to friends in Nittany Valley and Lock Haven on Saturday and Sunday. Herb reports hav- ing had a good time. Judging from present indications Rebers- burg will have another building’ boom next summer. Preparations are being made for the erection of at least a half dozen new buildings. Ex-commissioner, John Wolf, who was prostrated with apoplexy some time ago, is again able to be about, although somewhat feeble. We hope he will soon be fully re- stored to health. The Lutherans of Rebersburg held their annual election for church officers last Sun- day forenoon. The following were elected : deacon, H. H. Royer; elder, Harvey H. Miller ; trustee, John Harter. Last Saturday’s Democratic caucus was largely attended. . The following were nomi- nated for the townsHip offices : assessor, Dan- iel Harter ; school directors, Wallace Walker, William Haines and Ed Miller ; supervisors, James Corman and Ira Brungart; auditor, George Kreamer ; overseer of poor, Adam Vonada ; town clerk, W. W. Heckman. The Republican caucus was held in the evening. As usual it was but slimly attended and only a partial ticket was nominated with no pros- pect that any of the nominees will be elected. The tickets nominated by the Democrats is a good one and should receive the support of the citizens of the township. Pine Grove Mention. Thomas son of Miles Harpster is critically ill with pneumonia. Mrs. Matilda Rumberger, who has been ill for some weeks, is now better. Mrs. G. W. McWilliams is visiting relatives and friends in Altoona this week. On Feb. 2nd, at 7 o'clock, Rev. Black will commence a series of meetings assisted by the Rev. C. E. Creitz, of Huntingdon. Clate Witmer, one of Patton township's hustling farmers and’ straight backed Demo- crats, has been about here for several days. ° We are indebted to Hon. R. M. Foster for a copy of Smull’s handbook, and reports of the agriculture, school and forestry departments. While cutting wood for paper, recently, Ellis Poust, by his axe slipping, cut a gash in his left arm which will keep him from work for many a week. D. W. Garbrick has rented the ex-sheriff Ishler farm in Harris township. Mr. G.isa good farmer and our community will be sorry to see him move away. John G. Miller, who has been laid up with pneumonia for the last month. is convales- cing and expects to be able to return to his law studies at Carlislein a short time. Fletch Sausserman came down from the Mountain city to see his invalid mother and to dispose of his property on Main street, which he sold to Wm. Eckley for $350 cash. We are sorry to note the serious illness of Rush McLaunahan at his brother-in-law, S. C. Snook’s at Rock Spring. He is suffering with consumption and in all probability will never be any better. Our friend George Gardner is home from Pittsburg not having made connection with Hanna's prosperity train. He is of the opin- ion that business is not any better than it was during the previous administration. Reuben Tressler, a very pleasant gentle- man, is the guest of D. L. Miller between the times he is looking after the Ard grist mill, which he has a great mind to get possession of and settle down to business instead of traveling. At this writing snow flakes are falling thick and fast but there is mot much possi- bility of good sleighing for next Wednesday is ground-hog day and the little animal has been very chary in the last few years of showing himself. The Democratic caucus was unusually well attended last Saturday from all sections of the township and placed in nomination the following township ticket: E. P. judge of election, Levi Krebs ; inspector of election, H. M. Cronoble ; registration assessor, Aaron Tressler. W. P. judge of election, Dr. L. M. Houser ; inspector of election, Charles Beist- line ; registration assessor, Ellis Lytle. For both precincts, assessor, W. H. Fry; super- visors, A. G. Archy and H. C. Campbell ; school directors, Jos. H. Hoy and G. W. Keichline ; auditor, W. W. Meek ; poor over- seer, J. T. McCormick: township clerk, W. A. Roush. W. E. Meek, who has served for 12 consec- utive years as auditor of the township has been re-nominated and a better or more practical man for the office would be hard to find. He is one of the few men who make farming pay and he has some stock that any one, who is a judge of cattle, might be proud of. The pure bred cow he bought at the College sale is fresh and her milk fairly knocked the bottom out of the tester, but she is only one of a number of first-class Guernsey’s, Jersey’s and Swiss cattle which compose his herd for he does not believe in mongrel stock. Another sight worth seeing on his farm is fifty cockerels of every size and breed all in one coop. Montgomery & Co. Lyon & Co. Lyon & Co. Katz & Co. Limited. YON & CO.
