The reason some church members
find it so hard to lead a Christian li fc,
is because they devote so little time
to it. They arc trying to see how little
they can do and yet get into heaven.
A fine epitaph can never atone for neg

Caterpillars' nests should be burned

Mr. Alexander Sanderson, Choud
rant, La., says : "Having used Ayer's
Pills at least twenty-five years, I would
say that for all diseases of the bowels,

remedied by pills, these are always
effective. They keep the system in
perfect order."
Some people make their reputation
by the smartness of their talk ; some
by strictly attending to their own busi
ness j some by attending to every
body's business but their own, and
some by not having any business to
attend to. So you see that there is a
vast difference in the makeup of
human kind.

The Bible Convention held at Mill
ville on last Thursday afternoon and
evening was the hrst for some time as
the Bible Society of Columbia county
has not been for some time in a very
active condition. The reports from
the depositories scattered throughout
the county, the interest taken in the
exercises of the convention and the
stirring speeches of the evening all
promise better things in the future for
this most necessary work, the getting
of Uod s Word into the hands and
homes of the people.
The afternoon session was devoted
to business, but that in the evening
was taken up with addresses and
music. Rev. Patterson of Blooms
burg delivered a most excellent dis
course on the " Bible as the Word of
God." It was both educative and en
couraging, tshort talks were then
given by Miss Eves of Millville, on
" Progress, by Rev. 1 ompkins of
Berwick, on "The Bible in the Home"
and by Rev. Myers of Catawissa, on
"The Peoples' Book." Thus closed
a convention which ought to inspire
not only the town where it convened
but all the county to more prayerful
and earnest efforts for the promotion
of this great cause, for the Bible, read
and obeyed, is first for the salvation
of the soul and then for the over
throw of all evil and the establishment
of rights and truths on its ruins.
