4 "VOL. LXXXI1V, SUNDAY ON THE PARK, Harvest Home Services Largely Attended Rev. Snyder Preaches Eathusinstioally, The two inches of rain fall during Friday night and Baturday forenoon interfered to some extent in the open- ing program of the Grange Kacamp- ment and Fair, as on Saturday large pumbers of tenters come to the park and live there over Bunday. The rain on Saturday morning fell in torrents, but through it all those bent on living in their Grange Park homes over Bunday came, each declaring “Not a bit wet ; everything as dry as punk,” when at the same time every- thing was thoroughly washed. Saturday afternoon the sun shone for a few hours, and daring this time many campers arrived, and continued to do so until after dark. By Bunday morning the canvas city was well in- habited. SUNDAY SERVICES, “The Harvest Home’ services on Sunday afternoon was largely attend- ed, and the most respectful attention was given the speaker, Rev. B, A, Snyder, pastor of the Centre Hall United Evangelical church. The minister spoke enthusiastically on the passage of scripture found in Proverbs XXVII from the twenty- third verse to the close of the chapter: Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds. For riches are not forever ; and doth the crown endure to every generation ? The hay appeareth, and the ten- der grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountain are gathered. The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field. And thou shalt have goats’ milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the main- tenance for thy maidens, Rev, Boyder said in part: We are not so familiar with this * farmers’ song’ as with other odes contained in the book of Proverbs. Few of us forget the ruined fleld of the sluggsrd, with its nettles and weeds, gaping walls, and broken gates ; and that compan- ion picture of the lazy sleeper turnlog over and over in his sloth until he is attacked by want. We have given little time to the rustic singer, who in his song tells us of the farmers’ riaks— and the farmer has risks. Simple as it may seem, it is a giaddening message to the farmer as he follows the plow, or counts his sheep or cattle in the field. Like all of God’s messages this song is a warning word to drive out the lassitude that comes of bad seasons, and the despair that follows misfor- tupe. This is a song. from a son of labor who taught that * the profit of the earth is for all,” and that ** even the King is served by the fleld. ” It is in the last verse of the text that the interest of the singer is cen- tered. The thought is: That the hau- man is supreme. The home gives to the flelds their meaning ; to the cattle, their service, and to the farm its beau- ty. The fields are meaningless, the cattle useless, the farm without real beauty without home. This song is one of command. The command is to be diligent in our ecall- ing. Itis directed to the ILsraelitish husbandman, bui extended toall other legitimate callings. Whatever our business, we must apply ourselves, our minds, to it. Solomon said : ‘' Beest thou s man diligent ia business? He shall not stand before mean men, but he shall stand before kings.” It is a song written in a minor key, Life is full of changes, seasons vary, etc. Times are bad, fortune is fickle, reverses come, Prosperity is a winged bird, and be it never so beautiful, the cage never so secure, it may fly away, Acres of corn call aloud for the reapers, and ofitimes the only snswer is the ceaseless, drenching rain. The farmer sighs for sunshine, and gets in answer “the death dumb sutumn’s dripping gloom.” We are thus reminded that the brightest honors fade ; the floest gold dims, tarnishes ; wealth decays, and even the crowns of kings will not en- dure to every generstion. Beek first the kingdom of God. Be diligent; make hay while the sun shines ; give heed to the littles, We must put our heart into our work. King Uszish loved husbandry, The farmer and those of other vocations must love their calling ; do not despise your work, but do it well. Be a whole man to it while you are at it, Israel's great men did not think it beneath them to inspect their flroks. Job was a shepherd ; Moses was a shepherd, and looked well after his flocks. Gideon was accosted by God when he was threshing wheat ; David, the shepherd, was called to bs Lirael's king, Remember a great and noble life does not depend on rank or place, but on purpose, faith, lova, oharacter, and service, While the first verse of the text enjoins oarefulness, wisdom and de votion, and the second enforces the of the uncertainties of the farmer's life, the closing verses console with the assurance of the bounty of God. “ My Father is rich in houses and lands, ”' ete. The earth Is not dead after its first yield, but year after year brings forth its fruit io season. Natute ls lnex- haustibly reproductive. Husbandry Is more secure than the treasures of the great. Solomon says ‘‘ he that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread.” Mother earth cares for her children. The spirit breathed throughout this song Is that of trust in the great, lov. ing, snd superinteading Father, the Husbandmao-in-Chief, who never forgets his children. It links our humble farm life with the will and work of the eternal, and assures us of the care of the highest for the shep- herd on the hill, the plowman in the valley, and the milkmaid in the stall. The half-hour before the opening of the services proper was devoted to vocal musie, furnished by the choir of the United Evangelical chuich, This feature was much appreciated by the audience.

Of course, no one at this time knows where the commission appointed to locate the state prison will select ite site, but one thing is certain, if Centre county wil find favor with the com- mission, the site will be near Cen- tre Hall. John Fraopcles, the warden of the Western Penitentiary, who has been appointed to make a selection of a site, looked over several locations in Penns Valley, and is very well pleased with a site shown bim by W. B. Mingle, Eeq., and as stated above a site near here will be selected unless the land- owners stand in the way. This “ standing in the way'' does not mean that farm-owners must sacrifice their lands, but it does mean that the state will not pay exorbitant prices. The act of assembly under which the new prison will be built, calls for a ract of four thousand acres, and to be adjacent to a state reservation. The plane call for the prison proper to be situated on 8 hundred-acre tract, this to be walled—nine feet under ground and twenty-one feet above ground. The remainder of the plot will be farmed, the idea being to give the pris- oners out-door exercise and at the same time help to earn their keep. During the construction period, as well as thereafter, much money will be expended, and a large portion of this will go to the mechanics, laborers, employes, and officers, all of whom will obtain their living outside of the prison plot, At first thought one would come to the conclusion that a site near a large town and slong a stream would be preferable, but it appears neither of these conditions are necessary. There are many springs along Nittany Mountain, and water in limitless quan- tities could be obtain snywhere by sinking wells to the proper depth. Beside the site at Centre Hall other locations looked into was at Potters Mills, and several points in Nittany Valley. EE —— Alfalfa, 823 Per Ton, A car load of alfalfa, to be delivered the latter part of this month, was sold by 8. W. Smith to the Weber Broth- ers for $23 00 per ton. The alfalfa was grown immediately west of Grange Park, where there is now seeded a plot of fifteen acres. m———— A —-—— A ———— A Queer Freak. Milrean, who was sald to have been connected with some of the best fami lies In France and to have possessed considerable means until ruined by the Panama canal disaster, was one of the best friends the beggars of Paris ever had, and to obtain funds for helping them he became a systematic thief. He used to frequent the fashionable streets uuring the day and pick pockets, and by night, dressed in ragged clothes, he dispensed the spoils to the first beg- gars he met. For years he continued the practice without being suspected, and it was by pure chance that he eventually did fall into the hands of the police. When his lodgings were searched sufficiently empty purses were found to fill a large packing case, and it was made clear that he had stolen hundreds of watches and scarfpins, while he had been pinching and con- triving to live a respectable man on a few francs a week saved from the ruin of his fortune.
