Uncle Sam Wants Better Children.
The federal Department of Labor has established a Children’s
Bureau to teach ‘parents how to care for children and has just
jssued a booklet on ‘‘Prenatal Cuiture’’ which is for free distri-
bution, ;
For some time Uncle Sam has-been paying considerable atten-
tion to the improvement of hogs, chickens and livestock, as well as
teaching us how to raise pumpkins and potatoes, and it is encourag-
ing to find attention now being turned toward improving the hu-
man race.
A
Woman Suffrage.
A woman is an individual, and as such she has a right to in-
dependence in thinking. Intellectually, it was the cry a few years
ago that she was incapable of pursuing the more advanced branches
in our higher cuiricula of learning, but the honor women in the
first schools and colleges of the country, have silenced the question
as to the comparative strength of the sexes, mentally considered. _
Have not our mothers, sisters, and wives the same, yea, nobler
aspirations for what is best for the community, the state and the
nation, than the generality of men!
: The idiot, the Indian, the Negro, the yellow man, may help to
decide the destinies of the nation, but our laws at present degrade
women below these, in not granting her the right of franchise.
Political Candidates Here Next Week
Meyersdale is to be instructed in matters political during the
coming week, Candidate for the U. S. Senate, Gifford Pinchot,
and candidate for Governor, William Draper Lewis, on the Pro-
gressive ticket, are scheduled to appear at various places next week
in Somerset Co., on next Tuesday and Wednesday, and late rumors
have it that M. G. Brumbaugh, the Republican candidate for gov-
ernor, will be here about the middle the week. We have no au-
thority that Mr. Penrose will be along with him.
It is the duty of every voier in this section of the state to hear
the representatives of two of the three great parties of this com-
monwealth. Besides, all these candidates are men of unusual abili-
ty. After having heard them all you may still be of the same polit-
ical views, but no doubt you will be better able to discharge your
obligations as a voter. Go hear them all.
BUSINESS
ANNOUNCEMENT.
The new management, of the Com-
mercial desires to inform the public
hat all outstanding subscriptions, job
work and adyertising accounts have
been purchased from Mr. A. M. Schaff-
ner and settlement is to be made with
the present owner.
REDUCTION TO PAY UP.
That the subscription list of the
Commercial may be more of an ad-
vance payment list, up to November,
all settlements for arrearages or future
payments will be made on the basis
of $1.25 per year. For many people
this would mean putting out their
money at 20 per cent; surely this is
worth considering by the Commercial
subscribers, and those who purpose
becoming such.
1000 MILE AUTO TRIP

ran of the Oiyil War, started Sunday

THE GOSPEL TENT.
The special Evangelistic Services,
which had been conducted inthe Gos-
pel Tent, on the South Side, for the
past nine weeks, came to a close last
Sunday night. The lot on which the
tent was pitched, was in an excellent
ocation, the permission for its use
was freely given by Mr. W. H. Hay.
The two Evangelists, who had been
preaching the Gospel, throughout the
series of meetings, are Mr. William J.
Armstrong of Hartford, Conn., and
Mr. George B. Winemiller of Har-
risburg, Pa.
These Evangelists have been labor-
ing for the glory offGod and are will-
ing to spend and be spent for the
spiritual and eternal welfare of the
people. They submit the following
brief account of the doctrines they
proclaim:
The divine inspiration, authority
and sufficiency of the Bible. ;
The Divinity of the Lord Jesu
Christ.
The total deprayity of human na-
ture. .
TheZdeath, burial and resurrection
of Christ as the all-sufficient sacrifice
for sin, and ground of justification by
faith.
The ascended, glorified Christ at
God’s right hand as the only,and’ all-
sufficientgHigh Priest for Hisfpeople.
That thelpractice of BelieversiBap-
tismiiby immersion, and the Lord’s
Supper be observed.
The second and imminent coming
of the Lord, as the hope of the church.
That the dead shall be raised either
to life or condemnation (Acts. 24:15)
and that) the blessedness of the’re-
deemed and the punishment of_ the
wicked are alike eternal. b
BTheysturther affirm, that they.are
not, inY¥any fway, in sympathy with
the Russelites or Millenial;Dawnists,
Mormons, Christian Scientists, Sev-
enth Day Adventists, Uniyersalists
or any "of thesejlatter day_delusions.
The Evangelists greatly appreciate
the strict attention giyen:,to the
preaching of the word of God, at the
Gospel Tent. They also purpose,’ the
Lord willing, to return to Meyersdale
for further Gospel work.

LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 6
THE GREAT COMMANDMENTS.
LESSON TEXT—Mark 12:28-4.
GOLDEN TEXT—"“Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with
all thy soul, and with all thy strength,
and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor
as thyself.” Luke 10:27.
This lesson considers a third ques-
tion asked of our Lord; two-others
in this connection we studied last
week. It was not so much a ques-
tion of placing one commandment in
competition with another, but rather
which commandment most clearly
epitomizes or reveals the final prin-
ciple in law. It was the business of
this scribe to know the law and to
interpret the commandments. Jesus
in his reply quotes from Deut. 5:4,
and from Lev. 19:18, which are both
in a sense an exposition of the Deca-
logue.
Love the Basis.
I. The answer of Jesus, vv. 2834.
The scribe’s question seemed to be
quite specific and so the Lord strikes
at once at the heart and by his quota-
tion reveals to us the fact that the
principle which is the inspiration of
the law is that of love. In passing
we have here another illustration of
the master’s ready use and knowledge
of the Scripture. Jesus makes a
four-fold summary. Man must love
God with (a) the heart, e. g., in sin-
cerity and uprightness; (b) with the
soul, with the warmth of the emo-
tions, and the feelings; (c¢) “with all
thy mind,” the intellect, not as a blind
devotee; (d) with “strength,” viz,
with intensity of service, with energy.
“To love God with all the heart and
soul and mind and strength is to have
supreme desire for and delight in
God’s glory, making everything else
second to that.” This statement is
but half, for the complement of our
love of God is to love man. Man
created in God’s image was “so loved”
by God that he gave his son (John
3:16); man can do not less and must
express that love in service to others.
To fail in the first is to break the
greatest of the commandments and
therefore to be guilty of all, Rom.
3:23. :
Human and Deity. :
Il. The question of Jesus, vv. 35-
37.
was a Messianic one and he grounds
his argument on the 110th Psalm, a
Messianic one. Jesus is inferior to
David as his son according to the
flesn but superior to him as lord of
the kingdom of which David himself
is a subject and not the sovereign.
Christ is both human and deity; his
kingdom is spiritual and earthly sov-
ereigns are honored if they are his
subjects.
111. The teaching of Jesus, vv. 38
40. The word “doctrine” in verse 38
is translated “teaching” in the re-
vision. These words of warning are
full of solemn significance. The
scribes, and they have their imitators
today, sought the places ef prefer-
ment, the seats of honor in the syna-
gogue and the chief places at the
feasts. The motive that governed
them was a selfish one. They de-
voured widows’ houses, and sought to
cover their covetousness and dishon-
esty by long prayers and a pretense
of piety. This brought upon them the
“greater condemnation,” Matt. 24:51.
Law and love is here again in con-
trast. Law. must become life.
1V. The view of Jesus, vv. 41-44,
Jesus had one look of love and com-
passion for his friends and the needy
and another that was exceedingly ter-
rible for his enemies. Thus it was as
a master teacher that he saw right
at hand an illustration for his les-
son, an application of the truth in the
case of the widow who gave out of her
penury and because of her love for
God, supporting these carping, selfish
scribes. She had two mites (about
fourth-fifths of a cent) and might have
withheld one except that the rabbis
forbade the offering of a single one.
Her love, however, went beyond the
“tenth” and she gave “all,” therefore
in proportion to their means she ‘cast
more than they all,” see II Cor. 8:12.
Offerings are needed still for the
Lord's work. Jesus is “over against
the treasure” and “sees” who it is
that “casts in” how much they cast
and the motive behind the gift. The
master’s standard of a commendable
offering is not according to our super-
fluity, but our deficiency, not what
will be missed but what of sacrifice
and in proportion thereto. Not to
please man, but God. Read II Cor.
8:1-3. Our Lords valuation of gifts
cast into the treasury remains for all
time the true standard of measure-
ment.
The love of God unifies a man. We
love because he first loved us, and
in proportion as we truly apprehend
his love, all that we have of heart,
life, strength and mind, yea, our
whole nature will unite in love. It is
this which unifies society. To love
him that begets is to love him that is
begotten. To love God is to love man
and to keep all of the divine com-
mands that concern our relations to
him,
As this woman left it is possible
that she was ashamed of the small-
ness of her gift but it pleased the
d.
Our Lord's question in return.

Jno Jay has a cook stove he wishes
to offer for sale and he words it like
this:—‘‘For Sale, Good cookstove,
