Denon atc Bellefonte, Pa., July 21, 1922. . SE ——— om Country Correspondence Items of Interest Dished Up for the Delectation of “Watchman” Read- ers by a Corps of Gifted Correspondents. PLEASANT GAP. E. C. Mease and wife, of Tyrone, spent the week-end with his sister, Mrs. E. K. Keller. W. H. Ott and wife, of Bellefonte, spent Sunday at the home of E. K. Kel- ler and wife, Mrs. Ott’s parents. Our practical butcher, Joseph Lex, has reopened his meat market. Joseph handles only the choicest government inspected meats, the kind appreciated by his numerous friends and patrons. Rev. Noll and wife, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Herman, spent a very pleasant Sunday at the home of Dr. P. H. Shelly, at Port Royel. It will be remembered that Dr. Shelly and his estimable wife resided in Pleasant Gap some years ago. The doctor had built up a very lucrative practice here, but owing to his fath- er’s extensive practice at Port Royal the younger Mr. Shelly was called there to take charge, the elder Shelly retiring from the profession. Personal magnetism is a subject worthy of our most careful considera- tion. There is a subtle, mysterious influence about some persons that is truly remarkable. One of the singu- lar features about it is that those pos- * sessing it have little or no control over it, and those affected by it have no power to resist it. What this power is, or whence it comes. is the mystery. Its effects are so clearly marked that there is no doubting the senses. Were these effects always agreeable, there might be some grounds for thinking they are partly due, at least, to the desire to be so affected. It is gener- ally believed that mind has influence over mind independent of the persons concerned. A great many say they can feel the presence of certain ones without see- ing or knowing that they are near. Thus it may be traced down to what is generally called like or dislike. You like certain ones because their pres- ence is agreeable, and you dislike cer- tain others because theirs is disagree- able. Then there are others whom you neither like nor dislike. Every Damon has his Pythias. In other words, every individual has some friend to whom he is closely attached. The ties are not those of consanguin- ity, yet they are strong and binding. It often occurs that these purely friendly ties are stronger than those of blood. The plain truth is that there is often less mutual affection between members of the same family than be- tween comparative strangers. A sense of duty usually prompts men to prefer their brothers in matters of mutual interest, but they rarely pre- fer each other’s society; so rare, in- deed, that when they do, they are pointed out as freaks of nature. To a great many it looks rather silly to see brothers running around together and acting as intimate friends are wont to act. It is generally supposed that twins are devotedly attached to each other, but such is not the case. Even the Siamese twins were constantly quar- reling, and had it been possible to get away from each other, they would have done so most cheerfully. Occa- sionally twin brothers are found who apparently are only happy in each other’s presence. Such instances are rare, however. Scientists call it mag- netism, spiritualists say it is affinity of soul, but those who have it do not bother themselves about its nature or cause, being satisfied with the effect. It is the same influence that renders preachers, actors and lecturers popu- lar. To think that the success of those before the public is due to what they say, or the way they say it, is a mistake. It is this mystery power, and it makes little difference about the elocution, the quality of voice, or the nature of the discourse. Some of the most popular actors have marked defects in voice. The uncultured preacher, one who has never seen the inside of a college, very often preach- es all around those who are accounted profound scholars. Noted revivalists possess this power in a greater or less degree, according as they are more or less successful. The famous, brilliant and magnetic divine, Dr. Sunderland, the elder, was so wonderfully en- dowed with this power, that he quit preaching on account of it. He feared that persons were drawn into the folds of the church through his influ- ence who did not realize what they were doing. He is said to have been able to direct the actions of persons simply by his will power, and that HAMBONE'S MEDITATIONS AH GOT SOME WHUT DEY CALL “MARYLAN' STYLE" FROG-LAIGS IN A BEALE STREET RESTRUNT YISTIDDY BUT DEVS MosLy STYLE!

He also had the faculty of transmitting it to the written page, so that those who read may feel his influence as well as those who see and hear. The question that arises just here is whether it is good to possess such power, or to be influenced by it. There are plenty of instances where it has done a great deal of harm. It is the strength of the libertine, the chief agent of conspirators and the talis- man of the arch deceivers. This, however, does not prevent it from be- ing productive of good results. It is the power of God to influence the wicked, and that which renders music charming, and social intercourse agreeable. It is not at all strange that occasionally it should be turned to evil purposes. Bad uses are made of the things given to support life, but that does not render these things unfit for proper use. It is the use to which means are put, and not the means that are evil. This mystic power is as much a gift as any of the special talents, and its exercise no more sinful than that of the other gifts, if only exercised properly. It is not love, but is often mistaken for it. One of its peculiarities is that it is rarely mutual. In instances where it is mutual it forms a strong bond, but where it is one-sided it is very un- enviable. It is the secret of the conjuror’s spell, the mind reader’s skill and spir- itualist’s power. To be effective these must possess it in excess, in which case it becomes a dangerous thing, as it gives them control not only over the physical life of persons, but also over their soul-life. The fact that so many go crazy who have not the power of resisting it, shows that it is destruc- tive of cerain elements of mind. If properly directed it can move the world. PINE GROVE MENTION.

It took him only a few seconds to realize the gath- ering was in honor of his birthday an- niversary and at once entered into the spirit of the occasion. Games, music and refreshments made up the pro- gram of the evening and it was a late hour when all the guests departed for their respective homes, wishing the young divine many more such anni- versaries. ai ie tim Hardly Complimentary.
