DIXOIIATION DAV, Although many people left town last Friday to visit Berwick and other places the attendance at tho exercises of Memor ial Day was Urge, the parade was impos ing, and the exercises Interesting.

Both the editors of the Oolmahian and tho Revuilican soma time since tried to take a cood bit of credit tor economy to tax pav ers by cheap letting inicourt calendar?. As tney aro ooui on tuo scnooi Doaru now we will leo whether they will apply tho same rule to advertUlne the Bchool statement consistency is a jewel Try the lowest uiuuers once, iry it. aerutna mm mi. The school board having awarded tho printing of the statement to the .SWifinei and Republican, without bids, we presume Krickbaum now cares vory little about economy to tax payers. It he has tho least spark of the jewel of consistency he will call tho attention ot his readers to the fact that the only printing tho County Com missioners let to the lowest bidders was the Court Calendar and the Columbian was nearly one-third lower than the Ssatinel. If Krlckbaum is sincere let him urge upon tho County Commissioners to put all their printing, blanks and stationery, to tho low est bidder. Let him call the attention ot tho County Commissioners lu his next Issue that they aro losing an opportunity of eco nomy to the tax payers. Itesolutlouu of Ilcspecl, VAN DAMP LODOB, NO. 140, I. O. O.

It Is something singular, fourteen or more lu tho family, Gorrey thrown in be sides all their ramifications, then they merely countaf a majority for Pot Sterner, tho gazetpcr of tho barns, sheds, hog-pens and woods, over poor lonely Bill Jacoby.

I'ct Htcrncr tbc candldato for Register for this County seems terriblv exercised lest ho should havo opposition at tho polls from soino Indtpcndtnt quarter. Ho hss reason to entertain such fear, knowing, as bo does, that nine-tenths of tho Democracy scorn the idea of voting for such n thing as himself. Ho knows too that tho people did not desire bis nomination, as they re garded him totally unfit to flit tho office, being yaln. blgeotcd, pugnacious: qualifi cations more suitable to a person about to enter an asylum than ino itegislcrs' olu.ee. Tho Democrats need not tote for him, but act as In the casu of John R. Yobe, when they elected I. S. Monroe nnd everybody was satisfied. Yobe was just as fit as Sterner. They will remember when they scratched tho ticket and defeated J R. Millard for Sheriff and elected Aaron Smith, every body wero Democrats and still the Dartv survived. Two years ago tho party did tho samo thing by electing Ent, who is maklnir a rood officer, still the nartv Dolled Its heaviest vote last fall for Hancock!

On Tuesday o e- - -"j , . w . ... .. "... i gct within tho doors. About 150 delegates I were present and no doubt as many vlsl- tors. Many ot our schools throughout the county were not represented, howover, probably owing to tho fact that tho placo was so distant from railroads. Tuesday morning's short session was fill ed wllh the cordial wclcomo words and the response and a full report of the Statistical Secretary A. W. Specr. HI report shows a decline in S. S. work In tho county as shown by Twp. Conventions. Aftor the appointment ot committees In the after noon a discussion of S. B. finance was opened by Rev. Tustln. Ho stated that four classes are benefited by tho S. B. the teachers, tho scholars, tho church and the community. All of theso should help sup port tho school. Tho S. S. is tho placo to teach the children giving and that system. ! atically. This should bo pari of the work ot every school. Ho was followed by oth ers on the samo subject, all urging tho ' 'puttlng-f onr-hand-ln-f our-po cket-and-gly-ing" method ot raising money for B. B. use. The rcpoit of the delegate to tho Btate Convention was full and very interesting. It told nf the M. E. 8. 8. of Wllkca-Barro, fihowlnp thi, nnaAlhlllttna nf tlin R.

Teacher was full of grand thoughts expressed in beautiful Ian- guago. Sho urged the necessity of teach, ers being trained to their work but placed above training or tact, knowlcdgo of tho pupils and of the text book and far above that tho love of Christ permeating tho Hfo of tho teacher. In tho evening Dr. RUtenhouso of Car lisle College dellvcredia grand address on rruth'; What a 8. B. teacher teaches." After showing tho inefficiency of other re- liglons and of anciont and modern phlloso phy to satisfy the longings of mankind he declared that Christianity as rovealed in the Bible Is the Truth, the whole truth and nothing but truth. Christianity alone leaches without error. In all other reli gions there aro a few grains of gold In vast piles of rubbish a few goodly maxims of spiritual wisdom burled in vast tomes of folly. 'Christianity alone proclaims truth with certainty and authority not as a dis- covery but as revelation. Christianity pro cluimstruth In all its symmetrical com pleteness and organic unity a marvelous and majestic balance of tiuth in all its rela. tlons. Instead of broken fragments of Jewels Christianity holds up a great Kohl noor 01 truiu, ior tho saso of which we would sell all these fragments. Christian. ity gives an ultimate statement of truth and alone brings us saving truth Two stirring short talks on Temperance were given by Rev. Crumbling and Rev, Mllroy which closed the program for tho evening. Tho most of Wednesday was occupied with busineps. The reports ot delegates showed that most ot the schools aro pros perous and the work growing. The com mltteo on Time and Place of next meeting reported In favor of Benton, the first day ot Juno, which was accepted. Two other invitations had been received by tho com- mittco and we regretted that we could not accept all three. The election of officers resulted as fol lows: President, U. R.

The question box contained but four questions; ono addressed to Rev. Gal. loway which was "Is a man dethroning the Holy Spirit when he listens to his own spirit?" Uo answered. No, not It tho Uoly Spirit is really enthroned. Tho Holy Spirit will gain tho ascendency "As many as aro led by the Spirit they aro tho Sons ot God." The other thrco questions were ad dressed to Prof. Kurzonknabe, Shall a man give to tbo 8. 8. if bo owes any man? "ies, we owe infinitely more to JGod than to any man." Shall horns, violins and all soils of Instrument bo used in B. 8.? Yes. wo are called upon to praise God with In. eiruments as well as with tho voice. Should B. 8. have festivals to raise money?
