INGERSOLL AND IMMORTALITY.
The comments of the press on the
death of Robert Inirersoll furnish an
interesting evidence of our change of
attitude in retrard to religious opin
ions. If Iugersoll had died a few
years ago, his memory would have
been bitterly assailed, and he would
have been held up iu many quarters
as an example of depravity ana un
ivirdnnuhle irreverence. Now, bow
ever, his death is recorded either
without eomnieut, or with praise for
his qualities as a man. i ou seldom
find him labelled even as an atheist.
As a matter of fact, and as every one
knows who followed his utterances.
Iugersoll was not an atheist. He
had no belief, in the orthodox sense
of the word, but he did not deny the
possibility of the existence of a state
beyond the grave. He was a per
fect illustration of the meaning of
that much misunderstood term ag
nostic. The respect with which his
memory is treated by good Chris
tians gives an example of Christian
charity which canuot fail to impress
those people who followed Inger
soll's teachings. It should be DO
ticed here that the growth of Chris
dan charity in this country in re
cent years has been accompanied by
a decided falling-ofl in the attacks on
religion. In fact, there are almost
no professed atheists among us now.
We may be said to be divided into
two groups, consisting of those who
believe and those whodo not believe,
and tlic attitude of each group to
ward the other is one of patient tol
eration. But at last the sand iu the
hour-glass of time must run down,
of the Christian and the Heathen
alike, mid it is left to a higher pow
er to decide whether a man wasgood
or bail. Cullicr'n Weekly.
THREE-QUARTERS OF A CENTURY.
The oldest and longest lived or
ganization in Snyder County is La
layette Lodge, No; 194, Free and
Accepted Masons located at Selins
grovc. The Ijttdge was constituted
in Oct. 1824 and at the present day
has almost 100 member, having
lived through the trying ordeals
connected with Morgan excitement
and the Anti-Masonic movement.
When the Lodge was first constitut
ed one of the regulations was that it
meet at New Berlin and Belinsgrove
alternately. La 1828, only & years
after the lodge was started Joseph
Miller began publishing an Anti
tnason paper in New Berlin called
the Union Telegraph and Anti-Masonic
Reporter. This paper was vile
and unjust in its criticisms of all
masons. There are two copies of
this paper in the library of the Sny
der Count v Historical Society dated
Oct. 28, 182Sand Nov. 5, 182S.
There was also a paper published in
New Ik-rlin called the Anti-Masonic
Star and there was organized in New
Berlin what was known as the
"Jacksonian Democratic Anti-Mason
Society." With such foes to face
Lafayette Lodge had anything but
a rosy path to follow.
Not withstanding these persecu
tions by the ignorant, the enlighten
ed citizens espoused a cause as righ
teous as anv ever advocated by the
tongue of man and the result has
been the long and successful career
of one of the oldest and most honor
ed organizations in central Pennsyl
vania. It has given material to
start the Masonic Lodges at Mifflin
burg, Millersburg and Middleburg
ami is still strong enough to give
paternity to a few more.
During the three-quarters of a
centurv of its history there is found
j 0
on the pages of its records the name
of the most prominent men residing
in Central Pennsylvania. Lafayette
Lodge is a land mark full of history
and is exceedtx' in age in this st
tinn of the State onlv bv the Su
bury Lodge, No. 22, whose warrant
was issued and signed by Ueorgeill,
of hnerland.
In commemoration of its long and
honored career the membershiu has
decided to hold an anuiversary, the
75th, on Oct. 25, 1899. In this or
ganization, the neoDle of Snyder
County have a land mark of which
any community can well be proud
IN MIS STEPS.
Early in the winter of 1896-97
Charles M. Sheldon, pastor of the
Second Presbyterian Church at To-
peka, Kansas, said to his congrega
tion, "In place ot delivering a ser
mon on Sunday evenings during the
winter I intend to read a story. Mr.
Sheldon wrote the book, a chapter
each week and read it the ensuing
Sunday. It was published in 1897
as a serial and appeared iu book
form the following autumn. In one
year it was selling at the rate of
eleven hundred copies a day, and as
it was not copyrighted in England
more than twenty different publish
ers put it on that market. Three
million copies of this story arc sait
to have been sold in four months a
success unparalleled in the history
of literature. The author is forty
two years old, a native of Wells
ville, N. Y., and is the sou of a
minister, the Reverend Stuart Shel
don, who now acts as his secretary.
The title of the book that Mr. Shel
don read to his congregation and
which has gained the distinction of
being the most widely read book) that
has been published in many years
is "In His steps. Its tone is
.strongly religious yet it is read eag
erly bv all classes. Mr. Sheldon has
proven conclusively that a religious
novel may be made of strong inter
est. The book has been warmly re
commended by clergymen and many
copies have been circulated by them
in their congregations. It having
been written to read in installments,
it is especially good for use as a se
rial story. No book in years has
been more discussed and debated. It
lias supplied conversation in all walks
of lile and is therefore a book that it
becomes a duty to read. While it
is true that a great many copies hive
lieen sold the bulk of the sale has
been in England.
WE WILL PUBLISH IT.
The contents of this book has
proven such acceptable reading mat
ter that we have made arrangements
to publish it in the columns of the
Post. We will begin its publica
tion in our issue dated August 31,
1899 and continue from week to
week until the entire story is com
pleted. Tell your friends about it.
It is the most acceptable piece of
modern literature in the English
language to-day.

Points to be Considered.
There are a great many points to be considered which
demonstrate the value of having this publication at yoar

1. It is a ready reference book of marriages which re
calls many pleasant event and also places a permanent
record in the hands of yoar posterity with which they will
never be willing to part.
3. It is a very useful guide to assist yon in fixing the
dates of collatteral events.
8. It is an indispensable book for the genealogist and
the historian.
4 It is of Incalculable value to the politician who
should be thoroughly posted concerning the "dearpeopie.
5. The Lawyer, Dootor, Clergyman, Editor and Teacher
will find it a convenience, and, in time, almost a necessity
nearly 'very day of his life.
" 6. Not. a store, hotel, nor a business plaee of any kind

7, No historical or genealogical, nor any other public
library Is complete without a oopy of this work.
