Superintendent Statton and the Rev.
C. E. Fultz ordained to the min
istry F. L. Stlne, J. H. Lehman, J.
S. Innerst and J. H. Ness.
Bishop Bell took his theme from
Acts, 4:2 5 to 30, and said in part:
"There are great denominations to
day that have gotten into the sec
tarian swagger. These are abnor
mal. I ask that the 'sectarian swag
ger be abolished forever. Let no
body strut across the stage of re
ligion or brotherhood, society or in
dustry to-day. Let us have uni
versal brotherhood and universal
religion for the welfare of the race.
We are living In a most momentous
era. The changed condition of af
fairs that has come about should
usher in within the next ten or fif
teen years the greatest change the
world ever has experienced. We are
on the eve of the greatest evange
listic revival we have ever known.
Points to Sovereignty
"No organization not in harmony
with Jesus Christ shall have any
part in the regulation of the affairs
of the world. The church is a super
personal organiization given by God
to heal the heart of a broken world.
The sovereignty of Jeßus Christ be
longs everywhere. It should be in
capital and for its proper and
Just regulation. This is the secret
of a solution of three difficulties.
The conciliatory attitude of finance
to-day is a miracle. Labor was never
as sane as it is to-day. Get down
into the columns away from the
head lines of your newspapers. Get
the real facts, the other side.

were spent in a cataclysm of flame,

CHRISTIAN ZERN
IS 101 YEARS OLD
Many Attend Birthday Anni
versary of Man Past the
Century Mark
Lebanon, Pa.. Oct. 14.—Many'
relatives and friends from this city
and county were numbered with
nearly a hundred and seventy-five
people from Schuylkill, Dauphin,
Lancaster and other neighboring
counties and from several states —
several as far distant as Oklahoma
—who on Sunday Journeyed to the
home of Christian Zern, near Sued
berg, to participate in the celebra
tion of his one hundred and first
birthday anniversary. The assem
blage included representatives of six
different generations of Mr. Zern's
descendants, and the youngest of
these enjoyed a distinction which is
vouchsafed to few humans Indeed in
seeing their great, great, great,
great-grandfather.
The guests were served a sumptu
ous dinner and pig roast that was
provided for the occasion, and It
took from 12 to 4 o'clock to feed
them all. The pig weighed 100
pounds dressed. In addition were
fifteen pounds of butter and an al
most endless quantity of food were
consumed by the guests.
The advanced age of Christian
Zern, who resides Just across the
Lebanon county border, attracted
attention last year when a big cele
bration was planned in honor of his
100 th birthday anniversary, but this
was called off because of the prev
alence of the Influenza epidemic.
Mr. Zern was greatly concerned
last year lest he should not get to
the 100 th milestone In his career.
He was too feeble to walk, but was
moved around the house in an In
valid's chair. He enjoyed the big
party as much as anybody.
Mr. Zern really attained his 101 st
birthday anniversary yesterday. He
was born on the thirteenth day of
the month, which shows that the
figure is not quite as unlucky as
would appear.
