upon "The matter and manner of the teach
era' preparation." The speaker showed
that the first great requisite or the teacher
is a profound knowledge or the scriptures,
and then following a line of invincible ar
gument, be showed that the Bible is rich in
its history, rich in its poetry, supremely
rich in its prophesy, how every part sus
tains and reinforces every other, how that
the whole must be understood to know the
meaning of a particular part.' The speaker
then set forth the necessity or studying the

rious schools or the county in regard to Ct
County Convention and their duties thereto,
snd especially calling upon them to contrib
ute their financial support to the conven
tion and cause. Rev. Reimensnyder sug

printing of necessary information to that ef
fect upon the programs.
Rev. Philip Graiff by special request then
addressed the Convention upon "Our . de
pendence upon the Holy Spirit in our Sab
bath School work." This was a well pre
pared, and eloquently delivered address
tbe speaker pointing out the difference be
tween an act or faith, when exercised upon
an object before him, as the mountain, and
that directed to object beyond tbe senses.
Prayer is the only means by which one can
receive a baptism of the Holy Spirit. ' "The

Opening prayer by Rev. A. H. Spangler,
The time and place or meeting for the next
Convention was left to tbe executive com
mittee to be determined. Departing from
tbe regular program, Rev. Spangler moved
that Revs. Reimensnyder and Brown be
beatd on the situation of Sabbath School
work in the District and State. These gen
tlemen followed at length setting forth
ny interesting facta as to the State and Dis
trict and County organizations. The finan
cial scheme adopted by tbe State was based
npon one-fourth of one per cent, for each
scholar in the Sabbath School of tbe State
Thi makes Juniata's pro rata about fifteen
dollars to be contributed to tbe State fnnd.
It was determined that tbe necessary funds
for meeting the expenses of the convention
and for the State contribution should be
raised from the schools by volunteer collec
tiooa and not by the assessment plan, ai
heretofore, and that the chairman of the
executive committee and Treasurer be eon
stituted a committee to obtain tbe fifteen
dollars from the schools and pay it over
and that tbe executive committee should
report the condition or tbe schools to tbe
District President. It was lurtber deter
mined that the executive committee should
meet each year six weeks before esch regu
lar meeting of the county convention and
make a program which shall be published
at least lour weeks before tbe time of meet
ing. Rev. L. T. Hays was elected delegate
to the sUte couvention to represent Juniata
county, with T. D. Garmn as alternate.
Tbe program for the afternoon was taken
np at 3:30. E. B. McCrum, Revs. Mann,
Brown, and Reimensnyder. and James Mc
Laugblin discussed "Singing In the Sabbath
SchooL" Mrs. Carrie Tan Fossen with i
number of others participated in an inter
eatinr temperance discuasion. A. H. Weid
man offered his report for the years 1885
aed 1886, which was ss follows :
' To officers and members of Jnniate Coun
ty Sabbath school Association : Tour Sec
retary respectfully offers the following re
port :
Number of schools reporting. 16: num
ber of sdult scholars in schools, 760 ; nam
ber of juvenile scholars. 458 ; number of
primary scholars, 390. Total 1624. Num
ber of officers snd teachers, 204. Total
membership, 1828.
The other inquiries contained on the
blanks sent out to the schools hare been
so indifferently snswered, thst to report
what haa been sent to the Secretary, would
give no estimate of what tbe schools are
doing in tbe line of work indicated. Tbe
report goes on to show that tbe field is not
fully cultivated and calls npon all Sunday
School workers for renewed seal.
Tbe Convention was not ss well attended
bv deleeatcs and Sabbath School workers
ss had been hoped for, but was marked by
seal in those present. It was tbe remark
of several, that they had never attended
convention where greater interest was man
ifested in the discussions and general work.
After some general remarks the Convention
adjourned tine die.
Announcement f Ben Perley
Poore'a Forthcominr
Book.
Sixtv veers of busy journalist's life at
Washington are epitomized in Major Sen
Perlev Poore's forthcoming book. One of
tbe admirers of tbe Major recently said
that "at a Judiciously ripe period of life
tbe Major stopped growing old, and since
then, like some of the choice Maderia. of
which be writes witb so much feeling, be
bas only been accumulating boqnet and
flavor." ataj. Poors bas beea one of tbe
best known and one of tbe moat knowing
men in Washington society for a half
century. His is tbe sunuy temperament
delighting In bright social intercourse. Yet
his connection witb daily journalism and
his position in the U. S. 8cnate placed bim
always in tbe thick of political affairs and
social gossip. He waa ever In the Wash
ington "Swim," breasting the waves witb
jovial vigor, and never failing to bear or
see what wss said and done. '
The Major could never be very solemn,
and in bis ripened sketches of Washington
life every phase reminds bim of half a dos
en amusing anecdotea. He has a rare gift
in telling a story, and his anecdotes are
inexhaustible.
11U book will not only tdd loiter to bit ,
fame at a writer, but is of so Unique a char
acter and so intensely Interesting hi matter
that it will prove a valuable contribution
to the literature of tbe country. It ' has
mirth for the mirthful, wit for the witty,
information for all, and we doubt if it has
been equalled by any subscription book
since the war.

stances or earth, among those that love
Christ tbe Lord and have faith in Him ; It
is with those thst fear God and have him
as counseler and guide by private prayer.
But as tbe dross qualities of gold and sil
ver ore do not destroy them so nothing in
the world can destroy tbe love of faithful
Redeemed people as long as faithful and
true to Christ, heeding God's promptings
and keeping from sin, so far as possible, and
holding to Christ as the only oue who is
able to atone, expiate and free the seeker
for Eternal Lite, from bis unbeliefs and
doubts and reveal by the Holy Spirit, Christ
"The Righteousness of his people." Gold
is accepted by man because ol ita value.
God accents no msn to incline bim to be a
Christian, a moral man or a reformed peni
tent man, bold icg to Christ, because of man's
purity, but only bacause of the worthiness
of Christ does God reward thoie that fear
His Son and love, adore and worship Him ;
it Is of far more value to any iuau
who can have himself Redeemed by ChrUt
than all riches could be to him. Men can
with the use of money sometimes buy votes
and succeed in gaining office and place, but
they cannot buy Salvation with money, al
though "God lovetb a cheerful giver" that
cheerfully and willingly gives ; be blesses
such. No one can buy their Salvation
whether rich or poor. Christ bas purchas
ed pardon, merer, Salvation, God's graces,
for believers of classes and sects, by his hu
miliation, snd erncifiction on Cavalry.
People are mixed, as the gold with the ore ;
some are good and saved, having repented,
and are making efforts to obey God's will ;
others ignore Uo1 and turn from his love.
Such will surely be cast off ss tbe d ross
stone and quarts are' separated from the
pure silver and gold by furnaces and fire.
Christ who died as "the just for tbe unjust"
will separate bis children from the goats or
wicked ignorers or the mercy and love or
Ood as offered in tbe gospel. Tbe Bible
declares that Christ ever Ijveth to make
intercession for seekers and believers
on the right band or God in Heaven.

Canses the Stomach and Bowels to be

to suffer from debility. In mil such
cases Ayer's Pills give prompt relief.
After much suffering from Liver and
Stomach troubles, I have finally been
cured by taking Ayer's Cathartic Pills.
I always find them prompt and thorough
in their action, and their occasional use
keepa me in a perfectly healthy condi
tion. Ralph W eeman, Annapolis, M1.
Twenty-five years ar;o I suffered from
a torpid liver, which was restored to
healthy action Vy taking Ayer's Pills.
Since that time I hare never been with
out them. They repulate the bowels,
asnut digestion, and increase the appe
tite, more surely than any other medi
cine. Paul Churchill, Haverhill, Mans.
INVIGORATED.
I know of no remedy eoal to Ayer's
Pills for Stomach and Liver disorders.
I suffered from a Torpid Liver, and Dys
pepsia, for eighteen months. Mr skin
was yellow, and my tongue coaled. I
had no appetite, suffered from Head
ache, was pale and emaciated. A few
boxes of Ayer's Pills, taken in moderate
doses, restored me to perfect health.
Waldo Miles, Oberlia, Ohio.
AVer's Pills are a superior family
medicine. They strengthen and invig
orate the digestive organs, create an ap
petite, and remove the horrible depres
sion and despondency resulting from
Liver Complaint. I care used these
Pills in my family, for years, and they
never fail to give entire satisfaction.
