D., Secretary of American Society of Religious Education. CONTEXT. Between last lesson and this arc two whole chapters nnd parts of two other chapters. This Interven ing matter is a continuation of tho prophet's arraignment of tho Jewish people for their lrrellglon. In this ho shows, not only that the nation had departed from tho true service ot Clod, but that they wero excusing their course by many false notions. For malism had taken the plnco of puro worship. Tho heart was no longer en listed in the public devotions. In burning words the sins nro oxpospd, and tho Impending doom Is declared. We nro now come to the final nicssago of the book, the last prophetic words of tho old ispensation. When tlicy nro spoken the volume will bo closed nnd sealed, not to be opened until the new covenant. Four centuries will pass be fore the holy spirit will prompt another man to speak to these obdurate de scendants of Abraham. Let us ponder the utterances whoso inlluenccs ought to remain through all those years. PKUVEUSITV. (Verses 13, II and In.) We hnvo first a condensed ac count of the wickedness of tho times, manifested In two ways. First. In speech. It had been openly declared that the service of God was vain or profitless. All tho time and expense devoted to religion was deemed to be lost. Whenever they attended upon the ordinances of Clod's house It ivm with tho feeling df sacrifice and hu miliation, In striking contrast with tho pious delight of one of old. (Psalm, cxxll, 1.) Second, In consequence ot this, the men who were Irreligious were honored. Those haughty rebels who tempted tho Almighty were regarded happy, because unrestrained by trou blesome observances, and they were elevated to places of trust In sta'o and church as most worthy. This consti tuted a complete rejection of faith, n turning away of the heart, a hypo critical and perfunctory performance only reninlnlng. FAITHFULNESS. (Verses 1G and IT.) The foregoing was not d 'scrip ttve of all. Happily there was a rem nant, a small remnant Indeed, of pious believers, who mot together from time to time, that they might confer on le llglous subjects, nnlmato one another to their duty, nnd Inquire what might be done to stop this dartng InipIUy. These were like the lncomtpilhl? souls In Elijah's time. (I. Klns, xl, U.) Of these and their pious design? and discourses tho Lord took spvlal no tice. Their names wero roistered In Ills book of remembran1?. They alone wero called Ills peoo'e, of all tho multi tudes who had descend 1 from Abra ham. (Itomans, Ix, .) Tliey wero the special objects of Ills cuv. Ho would spare them, or save ihm, in tho tlmea of trial which should befall the nation on account of sin. Thev will be tT 111 til precious as jewels, an expression well understood by orientalists who preserved their wealth In this form. They will be gathered to Him in tho day when Ho enters into judgment. DISTINCTION. (Verse IS.)

Now men aro blinded by tho apparent prosperity ot tho wicked, thinking that godliness is unprofitable. Wordly consideration1! cast a shadow over the life ot the s"d ly, and a peculiar advantage nppe irs to those who aro ungodly. Hut "la that day," when tho Lord makes up His Jewels (Matthew, xxv, 31), the de ception will be removed." The r'ljhle ous will Hhlno forth In their glory (Daniel, xll, 3) nnd tho wicked sh-.U appear in all their ugliness, unclnth-'l by garments of righteousness, (Mat thew, xxll, 12.) The former will be welcomed and honored, tho latter dis missed and disgraced. And nil Intelli gences will witness nnd approve the distinction. JUDGMENT. (Verso 1.) Tho con nective "for" In this verse shows that what follows expands and illustrates tho statement in verse IS. "In that day," before mentioned, tho wrath ot God would burn as an oven or furnace, against the proud Pharisees mil Sad dllcecs, whose religion was a mock ery.and It would destroy all tho wicked Jews, with their city and their teniplo, so that no remains of them would 1p left In the land, or acknowledged as tho people of God. This same prod", tlon was mado H. C. 030 (Zophanlah, 1, 11-15), and Is applicable to any judg ment inflicted by the Almighty. In this case It was doubtless fulfilled In tho siege and destruction of Jerusalem, A. D. 70. The unspeakable miseries of the Jews, the unparalleled slaughter made of them by tho Romans, with al! the suffering of the scattered remnant, forms the best comment on this verse. The expression "leave them neither root nor branch" Is proverbial and de notes a complete extirpating desola tion, the sure visitation of an offended God. PRIVILEGE. (Verses 2 nnd 3.) While tho wicked are punished the righteous shall be blessed. To them tho Christ shall appear. He Is called the "Son ot Righteousness," a title not unllko that which Jesus applied to himself (John, vlli, 12), and which was anticipated in Old Testament scripture. (II. Samuel, xxill, 1.) The rising of that sun .was the beginning of a new and better day. The effulgence pro ceeding from Him would have a heal ing nnd purifying power upon all who might feci His influence. As a result the righteous should prosper they should grow or increase In all virtues nnd go forth In tho supernatural strength Imparted to them. (Hosea. xlv. 7.) Hccause of their superior pow er the righteous, who had previously suffered through the evil that is in tho world, would triumph over the wicked. (Romans, xvl, 20.) There would bo thus a reversal of tho order of things, the good holding their right ful place as rulers over tho evil, con firming the statement of verso IS. STANDARD. (Verse 1.)

Robinson, of Fork ston: E, M. Vaughn, of Mchoopany, nnd Edward Fairer, of Nicholson, held their first meeting at the court house here 011 Thursday afternoon, for tho purpose ot considering; the several matters which will come before them when they go into office. Among tho things considered was tho choice of an attorney nnd the salary to he paid him. Although nothing ofllclal could be done it is understood that tho board favored tho appointment o' W. E. Littl and that he will be chosen at tho meeting of the board to bo hold on January 1. hi the matter of the appointment ot a clerk the new hoard proposes to make tho appointment nnd fix tho sal ary regardless of the action ot the present board in appointing tho pres ent clerk, F. S. Harding, and fix the salary at $S40. The sentiment of tho new board seems to favor n reduction of the clerk's salary to $500 and they will probably endeavor to do this. They will coiik together nt the county sent again next wool; for further ac tion. Henry Harding was In Sornntnn and Factoryvllle on Thursday nnd Friday.

The old covenant made nt Slnut Is still In force. (Deuteronomy, lv. 10). The law delivered by Moses Is th" onlv rule nnd standard ot life. Tho voice of the prophet Is lifted re-otitoroing its commands, calling upon all to remem ber tho statutes and Judgments and to walk in them. Until Messiah conies there will bo no other mensuro ot hu man nctlon, nnd He will not annul the moral code (Matthew, v, 18); but rather explain nnd confirm It. (Matthew, v, 42.) When the last of the prophets Is gone, as the centuries sweep on there will remain for tho Jewish people those same old laws enacted a thousand years before. Hroken, but not repealed they wero the richest treasure saved out of the wreck of time. PROMISE. (Verses 5 and C.)-So the nation was sent forward Into flic f.i turo, the law of Moses their only gui le, the day of judgment tho certain goil. Two merciful provisions wero appoint ed. That clay should not come upon the generation then living entirety without warning. The prophetic ofllec vacated so long, should be filled agal'i for a brief time by one who shon'l come In the spirit ot Elijah. This doubtless refers to John the Baptist (Matthew, xl, II), who preached re pentance announcing tho coming king dom and warning all to llee from wrath. (Matthew, II, 7-12.) Hut be fore His appearance, while the weary centuries passed, tho spirit of Gil would move upon the hearts of men, causing tho young and rising genera tion to Inquire after tho ways of the fathers, and Inclining parents to do their duty by their children, as re quired in the law. (Deuteronomy, vl, 7.) Tho backward look of tho young for wisdom, the forward look of the old with hope these two habfts would save society from such widespread wickedness as would provoke God's wrath and bring a curse upon th" world. REFLECTIONS. Here, then, Is the summary view of the old dispensation, given by tho last ot the Inspired writ ers: First, the thing which Is abomin able In the sight of God, provoking His displeasure, Is wickedness, most abhor icnt in those who aro In covenant with Him; second, that which delights IUm above nil else is righteousness, so that Ho counts only the righteous ns His people; third. He intended tho first covenant to ho temporary and provi sional, beyond It being a new covenant ushered In by tho Son of Righteous ness; fourth, however great had been tho labor bestowed In bygone centuries upon tho Levitleal system through judges, kings nnd prophets. It must all bo swept away, and Its fruitage only preserved; fifth but tho law abides, more enduring than tabernncle, or throne, or ritual, tho Immutable and eternal expression of the divine will, ever to be cherished; sixth, Father for his child, tho child to his father, two laws of life carry forward to preserve what Ik good. This Is the explanatory note to be written nt tho close ot the history of tho wonderful people, the Jews. George McKown, of this place, and F. W. Wheaton. of WIlkes-Harre. It Is stated that a reduction in the price of lights Is to bo made by the new man agement. Judge Frank M. Vaughn, of Meshop pen, was In town on Thursday.

CASE OF ANDREW LOPATHA. Jermyn Child Who Swallowed Pin Still at Lackawanna Hospital. One of the most perplexing nnd odd cases which has over been handled In the Lackawanna hospital is tli.it of two-year-old Andrew Lopatha, of Jer myn. About a month ago the little fellow was brought to tho hospital, that u shawl pin might ho icniovcd. which tho child had swallowed while play ing. Tho pin wna about three Inches long tmd had a black enamel head. It was feared that it would work Itself down Into his lungs, and lodging there even tually cause his death. He wns put under tho X-rays, by means of which the exact location of the pin was dis covered nnd mi operation was then performed to extract it. It was found, however, that it wns so Imbedded In tho lung tlssti" that any attempt to withdraw It would only result In terrible laceration and th" immedlato death ot the hoy. Jt was, therefore, decided to not operate but simply to let nature lake Its cours for n while. Since then nothing has been don- end little Andrew Is still at tho hus pital. lo is a hrlght. cheery little chop and slnco his arilval nt tho In ntltutlnii has mannged to pick up a small amount nf English. He doe not seeni to surfer any pain fron,i th" pin, hut always appears healthy and happy. He plays mound quietly mj Is a great favorite in the children' wnrd, The hoy appears to havo an Inordi nate fondness for anything bright w shiny, llko pins or ncedlos. and his fuvorite toy is a string of plus ho put together that he could not be hurt fly them.
