"BACK LIDERS" RECEIVE
ATTENTION OF EVANGELIST
Mechanicsburg Tabernacle Crowded
Last Night to Hear Mr. Miller
Speak on Shortcomings of Christians
—Children's Rally This Afternoon
(Special to the Star-Independent.)
Mechanicsbnrg, Jan. 16. —Last even
ing, a large congregation gathered in
the taibernacle to hear Evangelist Mil
ler preach on "Backsliders." The open
ing prayer was offered by Dr. A. S. Fa
sick, of Carlisle, M. E. district super
intendent. and the scripture les>£on was
read toy the Kev. J- M. Mell, of the
Church of God, of Shiremanstown. The
choir sang "The Word of God Shall
fStand," each member holding a Bible
aloft during the chorus, with impres
sive effect. Just before the sermon Miss
Cree and Professor llohgatt sang very
beautifully, "Looking This Way."
Mr. Miller held the closest attention
of the large assemblage while he
preached with great force from thie
words in Jeremiah 2:19: "Thine own
wickedness shall correct thee, and thy
backslidings shall reprove thee; know
therefore and see that, it is an evil
thing and bitter, that thou hast forsak
en the Lord thy God, and that my fear
is not in thee saith the Lord' God of
hosts." Mr. Miller assigned as one of
the piincipal reasons why Christians
[ backslide, their becoming careless of
I their religious duties. He said:
'' They read the Sunday newspaper.
| They neglect the prayer life. Ju«t as
1 the trolley car, as it goes up the hill, if
[ it becomes disconnected from the power
wire, backslides, no the Christian, if ho
becomes disconnected from the power
wire of heaven, —prayer, —backslides.
Wordly amusements are another causo
of backsliding. The Christian, who
plays cards, diances and attonds the
theatre, because others do it, is selling
his soul mighty cheap to please a little
clique he travels with. If the man who
sells liquor goes to hell, the man who
signed the application for him to sell it
will go to hell along with him. You
may belong to the church and do certain
things, but you don't belong to the
body of Christ. In the judgment day,
God will not examine the church roll,
to find your name, but the book of the
seven Beals. If you are a backslider,
you have lost all your joy in the Chris
tian life, and all power with the un
saved. If you knew the judgment •day
was coming in one week from to-night,
•very dance hall, every saloon, every
club room, every poo.l, room in Meehan
icsburg would be closed, and this tab
erancle and every church would be
crowded to the doors. I feel that there
is some one in this congregation who is
going to die before these meetings
close, and he's not saved. Ever since
you took your first step away from Je
sus Christ, He's been right at your
side, waiting for you to come bai-k.
Won't you come.ba.ck to-night?"
The ushers then passed decision cards
through the audience, and after a few
more words by the evangelist, and th©
singing of "'Softly and Tenderly Jesus
Is Calling," by the choir, they were
gathered. Nine were signed.
This afternoon wis the children's pa
rade and rally and this evening the chil
dren 's "booster chorus" will lead the
singing at the preaching service in the
tabernacle.
To-morrow morning the co-operating
churches will hold their regular Sundhv
school and preaching services, but no
other services during the day. At 2.30
Mr. Miller will preach to men only, in
the tabernacle, on "The Dual Man,"
<1 This institution has just closed its hundredth
year in banking.
<1 It is but natural that at the end of a century
we should pause and take note of what has been
achieved.
<1 And what a contrast we find in the conditions
under which we face the second century, when
compared with those that surrounded the little
group of men who inaugurated this bank back
in 1814.
<ll Compare the limited facilities at their disposal
with the paid in capital, surplus and profits and
stockholders' liability of to-day, totaling a million
dollars—a security that stands back of every
dollar deposited in this bank.
<1 Theirs was to win confidence ours is to
sustain.
<1 As we cross the threshold of the one hundred
and first year, we pledge ourselves to maintain
those principals that will merit a continuance
of the public's trust reposed in us—-a trust to
which must be credited all our accomplishments
and success of the past century.
Harrisburg National Bank
16 South Market Square
Capital, $300,000 Surplus and Profits, $400,000

and at the same hour Mrs. Bcuwman will I
speak to women only, in the Presby
terian church. To-morrow evening Mr.
"Miller will preach in the tabernacle.
PETROGRAD
The New Name Is Simply a Return to
the Original One
The city heretofore known as St.
Petersburg is in future to be called
Petrograd. This apparent innovation
is in reality a return to the name which
Peter the Great's second capital had
borne from the beginning. All the old
books published in that city during the!
latter part of Peter's reign and those j
of his immediate successors bear the I
word Petrograd on the title pages.
"Grad" and "gorod" are two forms of
the same word, which means "city" or
'town.'' Etymologically it signifies an!
inclosed space and belongs to the
same root as the English word "gar
dlen." It occurs in hundreds of Slav
geographical namej —as, for instance,
in Novgorod, "new town;" Ivangorod,
Kl'izabetgrad, Euxanograd. Constanti
nople itself is often called in Russian
the "emperor's city.'—Czaregrad.
During the reigns of the Empresses
100 Years Old
Catherine and Elizabeth the mania for
adapting foreign names was rife in
Russia, and on many places known in
old Busman history German names
were bestowed, most of which remain
to this d'ay.
After the treaty of Berlin, when
Count Ignatiev, who had been Rus
sia's ambassador in Constantinople be
came at first minister of the interior
and then president of the Slavonic so
ciety, he, Kamarov, and a number i>f
other Slavophiles started a movement
in favor of altering those German
names to their Russian equivalents or
to the original Slav appellations, wher
ever there were any such. In time, no
doubt, Peterhof, Oranienbaum, Yeka
terinburg, Orenburg and a host of oth
er places will also be rechristened',
and Count Ignatiev's proposal will lie
fully carried out. —Dr. E. J. Dillon in
Manchester Guardian.
