Prof. Stettler, a Master of Arts.
Wo see from different exchanges that at
tbo annual commencement of Urslnus
College, on Thursday, old Lehigh was not
forgotten. It gives us pleasure to notu that
our well known and veteran educator, Prof.
J. Stettler, of Slatlngton, had conferred
upon him the degrca of Master of Arts.
This Is a graceful tribute to a zealous and
successful Instructor, and all will acknow
ledge the fact that the honor Is well de-
eryed. Of com so the college dld not con
fer this mark of distinction upon Prof.
Stettler without very good reasons. The
fact Is some seven or eight of the scholars
who attended tho Slatlngton- High School
were students nt the college. Their quali
fications anil general knowledge were so
far In advance of most of the other stu
dents who entered the college that It was
at once appaicnt they had been In tho
hands of an Instructor of more than
ordinary ability. Besides this, there Is no
doubt that tho faculty heard something of
tho great services which Prof. Stettler
rendered in Lehigh In the noble cause of
popular education. We must admit, how
ever that this degreo Is very rarely conferred
on teachers by our colleges, but all will ad
mlt that In this case the faculty acted
wisely and well and tho recipient Is well
wormy oi mo iionor. we extend our
hearty congratulations to Prof. Stettler,
and have no donbt that he will wear his
new and blushing honors with dignity, and
at the same time, with meekneas .and be
coming modesty. Atlentown UlironUlle,

Chlldten'i Day In the M. E, Church.
Children's Day has become a notable
vcnt In all of the M. E. churches of this
country, and Is looked forward to with de
light by tho children of all ages (from 3 to
00) belonging to tho Sabbath schools. The
collection of funds for the education of
poor, but Intelligent, young people of both
sexes for work In the pulpit and missionary
field was the motlyo that prompted Its In
ception. That It was, and Is, a popular
movement, Is attested to by Its adoptlou,
and Introduction Into other churches and
denominations, nnd the collection of almost
$35,000 In the M. E. churches nlono last
year. On last Sunday this serylco was held
In tho M. E. church In this place. In the
morning an excellent sermon, appropriate
to the occasion, was preached by the pas
tor, Rey. H'm. Major. He used for tho
text of his discourse the beautiful words of
Jesus found In the 0th chapter of Matthew
and the 28th verse which reads as follows:
"Behold the fowls of the air I for they sow
not, neither do they reap, nor gather Into
hams yet your heavenly Father fcedcth
them. Are ye ijpt much better than they?"
For the evening services a programme had
been prepared by tho committee on exer
cises, which as usual, was replete with ex

tion. Tho choir, assisted by Miss Lulu
Zehner, who In tho absence of Mrs. J. M.
Roberts, presided at the organ, no doubt
Imblded inspiration from the children, and
rendered scyeral beautiful and thrilling
anthems with more than their accustomed
brilliancy. To enumerate tho many and
varied, recitations, dialogues, songs, fce.,
rendered by the children In the most satis
factory manner In a number of Instances
displaying a knowledge of oratory not of
ten seen or heard, would occupy too much
of your space, suffice It to say that all ac
quitted thcmsclycs In a manner highly
creditable to themselves, and complimen
tary to the ladles who drilled them, Tho
floral display, decorations, Ac, were gor
geous in their beauty and fragrance, and
contributed largely to the enjoyment of the
occasion; conspicuous among these was a
cross of daisies resting against a back
ground of creeping vines. Those who
furnished flowers deserve the thanks of the
congregation. Tho pastor and superin
tendent of the Sabbath school are gratified
for the assistance rendered, and would
thus publicly thank all who coutiibtited to
make the event one nover to be caffecd
from the memory of all present.

Children's Day in the M. E. Church.
Children's Day Is a modern Institution.
It seems to hayo originated In the 31. E,
Church, and to this progressive church Is
due the honor of this glorious day now ob
served In almost all Protestant churches,
On Sabbath evening last the M. E. Church
of this place observed the day, a large
audience was present, and the programme
under Mr. F. P. Lentz, tho superintendent
was excellent, and very highly appreciated
by the audience. It would be difficult to
And a Sunday school not larger than the
Methodist school, having as many bright
and gifted scholars, and as many able and
talented teachers In proportion to size, as
are found m tins school: and to this
doubtless due the fact that this Sunday
school takes tho lead in rendering the best
programmes on Children's Days and other
occasions. Another statement is worthy
of remark, and that is, that It would bo
difficult to find another Sunday school of
its size more generous in Its contributions

DEMOCrtATlC.
Tho unamlnlty of tho Democracy and the
divided and factional condition of the
Republicans show a most hopeful condi
tion lor the success of the red bandanna
this fall. The one Is outspoken, honest
and progressive. The other Is despond
ent, thirsting solely for office, and Its creed
Is anything to get the spoils. Compare
tho spontaneous friendly enthusiasm at St.
Louis with the cat and dog rows at Chicago
and decide which gathering was that of a
representation body of American people.
Clearfield Spirit.
The Philadelphia Ledycr, which never
glyes pi also except whore It Is clearly war
ranted in doing so, says of tho administra
tion of President Cleveland : "It Has been
free from official or personal scandals; has
been honest and clean. There haye been
no star route robberies; no nayy jobberies;
no profligate waste by United States
marshals; no treasury combination or
speculations ; no. corrupt operations in or
through the land office. No American -at
home or abroad has had occasion to drop
his eyes in shanc because of any such
things under Mr. Cleveland's administra
tion. On the contrary, there has been a
resolute effort to promote honest govern
ment, to Increase efficiency, and to lessen
expenses."
ltKI'UnLICAX.
The Democracy demands tho continuance
of the Internal revenue tax on whisky but
opposes the license laws. It would tax
the stuff by federal law at the point of pro
duction, but Insists that It shall not be
taxed by stato law at the point of consump
tion. And yet this Is the same party which
used to swear that all Government revenues
should bo raised by custom-house taxation,
and which Is to-day obstructing the way
to a statesmanlike reduction of the surplus
which it pretends so much a dread!
