VOL. LXXXYV. CORNER STONE LALD, WILD GAME NOT a — The Average Hunter Decelved by Reports that Game 18 on the Incranse, State College Presbyterians Lay Founda tion for $40,000 Structare, Once again the nimrods are in the midst of the main gunning season. And as In each recurring year, just about this time the hunter learns that the reports that game was plentiful is being disproved, As a consequence the young and ivexperienced hunter who goes forth with visions of woods teeming with wild life which is his only for the pointing of the gun and the pulling of the trigger, is dieap- pointed. Wild life or game is becoming ir. creasingly scarce year by year with the possible exception of deer, which have thriven considerably under wise laws on the wild barren lands, particularly in this section. Bmall game, particu- larly ruffed grouse, commonly called pheasants, have been extremely scarce since 1906, during which year they seemed quite plentiful, but in the sub- sequent fall contracted cholera and died in large numbers, in some locali- ties becoming almost extinct, Natur- ally replacement has been slow, but conditions last epring are said to have been favorable for their rearing, result. ing in large broods of young. Quail are increasing, but slowly. It is to be hoped that the wild game will at least hold ite own, for no finer or more healthful sport than a day sfield with a gun and dog was ever de vised, and the youth who follows it is assured of veins in which run red blood made redder and more health- ful by the cz one aud exercise of his oc- cupation, A A ss December Court Trial List, Few civil cases are booked for the approaching term of court, whieh opeus the first Monday in December, I'he cases on the docket are these : FIRS] The corner stone of the new Pres- byterian church, at State College, was laid by Prof. John Hamilton. After the laying of the stone, addresses were made by Alba B, Johnson, president of the Baldwin locomotive works and prominent in laymen’s work in the Presoyierian church, representing the board of education on the building com- mittee, who spoke on the work of lay- men in the church ; Dr. Edwin Erle Bparks, president of Penn. Btate, to the congregation on the subject of the relation of state colleges to thechureh ; Rev. Joseph W, Cochran, D. D,, secre- tary of the board of education of the Presbyterian church, on the need of the church’s following up with re ligious life the student attending non- sectarian colleges and universitiea, The building aloue is planned to cost $40 000 and when. completely fur- nished $50,000. Of that amount the congregation has contributed $20,000 and the price of the old church prop- erty. ————— A, Remodeled Presbyterian Church, After undergoing extensiva interior repairs during the last three months, the Pine Grove Mills Presbyterian church was reopened Bunday morn- iog by Rev. W. K. Harnish, the pas- tor, whore-cedicated it to the service of Gad. The building has been greatly altered and is now one of the cosiest structures in the valley. The choir, with Rev. Harnish at the organ, sang a number of inspiring selections during the service. The pastor gave an historical sketch of the church, which dates its beginning on October, 8, 1834. Uantil 1903, eleven pastors and a number of supplies had served the congregation. The present pastor was called to the charge nine years ago. There are nineteen elders and fifty-one members on the roll, all of whom are active in church work, A great deal of credit is due the 1adies of the congregation, for through their efforts $2,000 had been raised to- wards the total indebtedness of $6 400, The debt was wiped out by popular subscriptions.

C, T. U., came to town Baturday afternoon and left Monday morning. Notice of her comiug was not given in time to advertize thor- oughly the meetings she held. How. ever Baturday evening a fair and very attentive audience assembled in the Lutheran church, The most impres- sive thing here in her address was her remarks illustrated by chart, on “Dr. Hodge's Four Dogs.” This scientific man took four dogs and cared for them alike, except that two were given alcohol and two were not. It was a demonstration, that all could understand, of the deleterious effects of intoxicating spirits on the disposi tion, the powers of endurance, also of resistance to disease, and upon the number and vigor of offspring. Bun- day morning the Pine Stump school house was filled with a very attentive audience, largely young peopls, who listened eagerly as she set forth, with the aid of charts, the evil eflects of alcohol on the brain and other parts of the human system, The largest audience was the one that assembled in the United Evan- gelieal church Bunday evening. For pearly an hour Miss Hendricks held the undivided attention of all as she set forth various phases of the warfare against the liquor traffic. Her address was foumded on the story of David and Goliath ; and the various charac. ters in this familisr story were made to do valiant duty in presenting the attitude of various classes in modern society. David stood for the ever ready, courageous, Christian, God-con- fident, champlon of purity, cleanness, nobility of soul, happiness and welfare of humanity against the modern Go- liath of the rum trade with its self confident defiance of the living God snd interests of his people. In Da. vid's brothers were seen the faint. hearted good people who are ever ready to tell temperance workers, “Ou, you can’t do snythiog in the face of the powerful entrenched forces of the Baloon !” David's sling and pebbles, Christian methods, and not Saul's armor, the weapons of the world, must be our great reliance in this contlict, No reasonable advocate of rum could Aad fault with Miss Hendrick's spirit, representations, or statements. Her reliance was not an abuse, sar- casm, or ridicule ; but on the cold logic of facts earnestly presented ln forcible, well-chosen words and con- vincing rhetorig. Her appearance is attractive, her manner winning, sand there Is no doubt that, if she Appears in Centre Hall again, she will be gladly heard by large crowds. The formation of a Young Women’s Tem- perance Union is likely to be one of the resulis of her visit, as well as a gen. eral strengthening of the temperance sentiment of the community, A ———— a fC ———— LOCALS Better get the corn into the crib.
