A feeling of jealousy says an ex change, often exists among the churches of the different denomina tions so that an event or entertain ment projected by one will not be patronized by the members ot the congregation or friends of the other. But by no means should the mem bers of a church manifest such ill will. A better christian example should be followed, as an example to the world. Christians, no matter under what denomination they are traveling, should help each other. They are all striving toward one goal, and the assistance given each other in this life is only an incident toward making the great life be yond one of keener enjoyment. Mrs. Sara J.

The experience of Buffalo ought to have some influence with those who reject vaccination for fear of lockjaw. The ''Commercial" of that city says: "Tens of thousands of persons have been vaccinated in Buffalo during the past six weeks, and not one case has been reported where the person vaccinated has been injured by it." Moreover, the New York State Board of Health has officially declared that it has never been proven, nor is it very probable, that vac cine ever contains the lock jaw bacillus. Such evidence ought to be enough to quiet the ill-grounded fears of those who have listened to auti-vaccinationist arguments. With ordinary precautions vaccina tion is as safe an operation as can be performed. PURELY PERSONAL Mrs. N. U. Funk visited In Danville on Monday. Ben Gidding was in Wilkes-Barre on Monday. Clyde C.
