THE GREAT LECTURE,
Our readers may not know Rev. S.
Parkes Cadman of New York, who is
to deliver his great lecture on "Abra
ham Lincoln" in the Methodist taber
nacle, Bloomsburg, Fa., Tuesday
evening, May 1 2, but they can rely
upon the following statements made
by persons whom they do know.
Rev. E. H. Yocum, D. D., Presiding
Elder of the Danville District, writes
Rev. B. C. Conner and says: "Amid
the many splendid productions of the
American platform, I regard Mr. Cad-
man's "Abraham Lincoln" as one of
the very best. No one who has the
opportunity to hear it can afford to
miss it. The people of Bloomsburg
will be the wiser and better for this
splendid intellectual and patriotic
treat."
Chaplain C. C. McCabe also writes:
"It has been my privilege to hear the
great lecture of Rev. S. Parkes Cad
man on "Abraham Lincoln." It is a
noble tribute of a patriotic American
citizen of English birth to the greatest
American that ever lived. The church
ought to be crowded to hear the lec
ture and if anybody fails to go, he
will regret it after it is over."
The following is from citizens well
known in this vicinity : "One year
ago last March, we, the undersigned,
had the privilege and pleasure of
hearing Mr. Cadman's great lecture
on "Abraham Lincoln." We record
it as our deliberate judgment that
this is one of the most thoughtful,
brilliant and eloquent lectures we
have ever heard by any man on any
subject. We are glad it is to be de
livered in Bloomsburg, and feel confi
dent that all who enjoy inspiring, pa
triotic eloquence will be delighted
with it as we were.

them. A good many pills act so vio
lently as to derange the system, and in
its disordered state, digestion will not
go on without a continued use of the
pills. That's the worst feature of most

Information has been received
stating that Ranslow Boone and wife

Monday the team ran away and
threw them out the carriage, from the
effects of which Mr. Boone died, and
Mrs. Boone was seriously injured.
They have many friends in this sec

in this misfortune.
The man who paints his yard fence,

of his adopted home.

The Susquehanna Synod of the
Lutheran Church is in session at Dan
ville this week. There is in attend
ance quite a number of ministers, with
an equal number of delegates, besides
a fair representation of clerical visitors.
Pastors are present from Jersey Shore,
Williamsport, Muncy, Milton, Mon-
toursville, Turbotville, Lewisburg, Se
linsgrove, Sunbury, Scranton, Wilkes
Barre, Berwick, Espy, Bloomsburg
and Northumberland.
Rev. M. E. McLinn, of Virginia
filled the pulpit of the Lutheran
Church last Sunday morning and
evening and by his eloquence captur
ed the large audience which filled the
spacious room to the doors. He is
a man of rare ability, and would be a
competent successor to Rev. Heil
man. He is an ardent supporter of
the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion and at the meeting Sunday after
noon gave them a talk which was well
received by the men present. Should
he be elected to fill the vacancy we
are satisfied that he would prove a
valuable man.
