Onlj' ono other bishop has t lie power to

a life service.

somii or Tim rrqfisitrs
Most to be emphasised ns the Impmi
ant thing next to common si nsj In this
ministry Is that jou hae a pi rsonal con
scious experience of salvation Common
sense is not to be taught or acquired.
If I had to choose lietween a rain with
out It or without religion I would choose
the man with common sonso without i-
llglon everj time, for If he has the com
mon sense nnd comes Into this work lie
will set about It to Ret iillglon In the
next ten minutes Grace Is free but com
mon sense Is not.
Hut thp thing to be secured Is expel -li
nee of salvation If jou wcie on vour
death bed and wnnted the consolation of
religion ou would not send for the eai
pentcr You might send for a veterinary
surgeon, but not for the carpenter.
To acquire this personal knowledge of
acceptance with Ood jou must make full
sutrender nnd believe In jour soul's sil
vntlon You will probably Ret into spots
where jou will lose this eliar light of
acceptance You may pet useil to walk

MUSICAL GOSSIP.
The piograiumo offend bj the Sjm
pliony Oichestni soclet for Its concert
ut tho Ljceuni Monday evening piomhes
to be tho most satisfactory selection ot
compositions evci given b that soclet).
The llr.st number, the Ha tin No. 2, D
major sjmphonj, Is one of the wldel
known Solomon s niphonlcs and was
written in 1713 in London It Is In four
numbers. The first Is impiessivc and
strong and wniks out with vcrj great et
fects. The second Is moie pastoral and
graceful lu eharactei and Is filled with
the rceflctcd visions of the beautiful Rng
lish meadows which piobablj- iutliieiiicd
tho composer's mind, as It was vviltten
In London. The thlid Is lu minuet time
but more accelnated th ut Is usual Riv
ing an effect at once splrltuellc and yet
bright und soft Tin closing number
allcRio splrltinso follows out the ldeu of
the previous number, but with more und
lb u and Intense feeling Max. Helnilch
comes next In the programme and wilt
shiR "Faith In Spilug, Selenade, 1211
King" bj Franz Schubert, Moonlight
When TJhtoiiRli the Pi.mitta, Row Gentl.
Theie M Gondolier the Two Gieiia
dleis b Robert Schumann. Tho suc
ceeding numbei Is the violin solo to bo
plavcd by Fred Wldmajer. This solo, bv
Hans Sltt, Is a composition of tho loftiest
possible iniktle.il composition. Though
peaceful and tranipiil lu some parts, and
Her und Impiessivc in others, It does not
contain a single mediocre b ir or theme
although it Is of extreme technical dif
ficult) Is It ever for a moment pviotech
nlcal Mr Wldmajer In the lesint re
herasals has shown great promise In his
Interpretation of this concerto and his
solo may be expected to be a tnat sel
dom heird In Scranton. Tho next number
em tho programme 1s Folatlcrle, by Al
fred Manchot, und Is a light jolly mor
cnin, sweet and simple, and humored
with a pleasing gntetj. Max llelnrich
will sine also Star of I2ve, bv Richard
Wagner, the Rlrd and the Rose, I m
Wearing Avn. Spring Is Not Dead, and
Gipsy John The last number on the pro
gramme Is from a popular standpoint the
most pleasing It H IVnot and Pcuette,
the quaint, unique, but heautllul storj of
the requited loves of two little clilldten.
Like the violin concerto It has bei n nr
i.inged and adapted to the orchestra by
Mr. Theodore llemberger and Is prob
ably the daintiest and sweetest little
music poem evet ottered to an) musical
public.

MAYOR
Family of Win, F. Courtney Has Reason to Believe in
PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND
-"Sssr5

&m7 -
fv.?, r ii mm -'.' .. -.
Mayor Courtney.ln employing Pnlne's
celety compound lu his family, had the
eNample nnd nssuiniiie of many pei
sons who occupy today like- tesponslblo
positions In other cities.
Major Rnmsdell, of Lynn, n petsonal
f i lend of Mnur Courtney, lecently
gave his opinion of this great lemedy
as follow s:
"A previous expetlenco with Palne's
celer) compound as a icstoter of ex
hausted energy Induced me recently to
tuke It again, the many duties qf the
ma) oi's olllce having taxed my slight
phjsienl resouices gteutly. I made no
mistake. In one week I found my ap
petite Impt oved, the feeling of weatl
ness elisappemlng nnd my netves be
coming steadier. Patau's eoleiy com
pound has thus been a friend In time
of need and I like to say a wind for a
filend."
His unhesitating recommendation had
much to do with Its use by Major
Com tney.
Major Miles II. Preston, of Hartfotd.
Ct , said within u day or two, speaking
of tile same remedy:
"The modern man of business, be he
ever so stuid), Ilnels often that the
continued piessure of affnlis has caused
the neives tu lemonsttute nnd fall In
tone. At such a time Palne's celer)
compound becomes of value. Having
expel lenced Its benefits I gladly com
mend R."
Among other statements as to the
value of Palne's celety compound
Mayor Hennett, of St. Chailes, 111,
