"VOL. LXXXVIL REFORMED CATECHISM'S 350TH ANNIVERSARY, Rev. Jones Tells of the History of Heldelberg Document, In his Bunday evening sermon Rev. R. R. Jones, pastor of the Reformed church, gave a bit of history concern- ing the catechism of the church. His remarks were highly instructive to the members of his particular church as well a8 to others in his audience. Rev. Jones is a man of broad princi- ples, and while to him the Reformed church is first and foremost, he is willing to give other churches their just due, | Sunday marked the 350'h anniver- | sary of the publication by the Elector | Frederick of the H~ridelberg Cate- chism., The Reformed churches in the PAYS IN DOLLARS AND CENTS, Agricultural College Graduates Frove Value of Education, Nothing has been watched so eritie- ally as the progress and conduct of the agricultural college graduates who have gone back to the farm. Their book learning and new ways have been the object of derision and scorn which has gradually given way to respect as they bave made good and proven by their success that the things whieh they learned resulted in growing big- ger crops and raising better stock. More important than all this, it made better citizens of them so that they were able to be of greater service to their communities. Farmers are becoming more appre- ciative of what an agricultural Dally educa- this country made the occasion one of | special celebration throughout their | whole denomination, and they are | linking up the catechism anniversary to four other anniversaries that occur | this year, as well as to the every-mems- | ber canvass by which they will be | commemorated, Catechisms are not taken largely in- | to account by the man of the street, and yet they are mo.e ivfluential in| shaping the thcught of people than | much literature that more stir in the world. The fashion of teaching the catechism to children bas by nol means gone out of existence, im- | portant is the place of the Heidelberg | Catechism in its church that the com- | mittee of union between the Presby-| terian denomination and the German | Reformed church agree that the Hei | delberg Catechism should be accepted | on a plane of equality with the West- | minster Catechism. Both of these] documents, the Heidelberg Catechism | being the older, have had stormy and | notable careers, and in hundreds of | pulpits last Bunday the stories of the | Elector Frederick’s courageous defense | of his catechism was told. The minds of the church folk are be- | ing refreshed by the leaders upon the history of this cate- | chism. Summarized, it runs thus: i The Heidelberg Catechism was pub- | lished io the year 1563 by the order of Elector Frederick III, of the nate, a district in western Germany, of which Heidelberg is the ogpital. It was written by Zacharias Ursinus and | Caspar Olevianus, and was published | makes Ro { denomination | Palati- | in the city of Heidelberg, from which | became the city it gets its name, I: creed of the Reformed Church, which was founded at Zurich, Switzerland ( 1519-25), by Uiricu Zwingle the reformers, After his death ( 1531 ) his work was continued by John Calvin at Geneva (153664) From | Bwitzerland, Reformed Church | spread into France, Holland, Poland, | Huaopgary, Botemia, Germany aod] Scotland The Heidelbarg Catechism, which was the most prominent of its creeds, was carried by thes. @ ads of the earth. It was brougut to America in the eignleenth century, to- gether with their Bivles and books. 1 chu'ch ino Americasines the year 1725 when the chuich was John Philip Boehm While itis denomination comtuotion over sary of the catec document was first brought by the Duten Reformed ¢ the Dutch entered New York delberg Catechism is the catechiam of the State Church in Holland, sud is al- go the official standard of the Dutch Re formed denomivatiov everywhere In| Hungary aud Protestants | adhere to the Heidelberg Catechism, | and everywhere the German Reforme- ed Church been carried by missions this catecnisin ia taught The denominational lenders say that in the 1700 congregativos of the German Reformed Chureh, this cele- bration was observed on January 19.

Saturday afternoon between the hours of two and three o'clock a heavy wind storm passed over Penns Valley, and did damage to some extent at many points, the most serious being in the vicinity of Centre Hill, which seemed to be the storm center, A half hour before the storm arose the sun was shining brightly, having the ap- pearance of an April day. Dark gray clouds were seen rising in the west, and soon they were rolling over each other.
