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. COURT HOUSE CHIPS Ayer's Deeda Entered lor Berord. Jonathan B. Snyder and wife to Geo. W. G.
