The World is One After
All,
“A touch of nature makes the
whole world kin,” is being exempli-
fied that while the nations.of Europe
are waging war with each other,
there ‘is being forwarded from this
country ship loads of provisions for
the relief of the starving Belgians,
made desolate by the army of Em-
peror William. While millions of
human beings are arrayed in hostile
combat,on each side, yet down in the
hearts of the private soldier, there is
a revolt’ at the awful carnage, and
far rather would many who engage
in the death struggle prefer to extend
the right hand of brotherhood than
‘to attempt to thrust his assailant
through, with the bayonet. They are
like dumb-driven cattle who are-led
up to the slaughter.
Be Loyal To Your Town
A minisfer who had lived in Johns-
town, was'a few days ago an invited
guest and speaker in the church of
which he was formerly pastor. The
strong statement was made by him
that, “One might wish to live:always
here on earth, if he could only live in
Johnstown.”! That is saying some-
thing fine about our little city across
the mountains, but the extravagant
statement of the minister has a good
thought in it and that is we ought to
see much good in the town in which
we live. Strangers may not know it;
they look on the surface, Be so fill-
edfwith the merits of your home town
that to you it is a fitting place to
abide, yea even forever if necessary.
If you think it is a poor place in
which to live, keep quiet about it,
or get np and leave. If wb all boost,
why we’ll get some people here some
of these bright days who will estab-
lish some industries. It can be done
by 100 boosters for Meyersdale. Join
this club; there is no fee yioauired
and you need to ride no goat to be-
come a full-fledged member. All per-
sons lose their membership when they
begin to knock.” What’s the matter
with Meyersdale? She’s all right.
RESTED NOT ON
THE SABBATH DAY.
Rev. A. 8. Kresge made a record
on Sunday last that for streruous ser-
vice in the Lord’s yineyard is hard to
to equal. He did not enter upon his
day of ministerial duty as one alto-
gether fresh as ke on Saturday even-
ing conducted preparatory services ab
Grace Reformed church. Early on
Sunday he was called to the home of
Mr. Baker, a member of his church,
to administer communion to the aged
man who is well past eighty and lives
near Pocahontas. At the preaching
hour at the latter place, in the base-
ment of the new church communion
services were conducted by the Rev-
erend gentleman. Without dinner
. for “himself yet provender for his
horse was furnished while the owner
was ministering in holy things, Rey.
Kresge proceeded from the church to
Sand Patch where he conducted the
funeral services for Chas. Secrest.
Then in the afternoon at White Oak
church services were held and com-
munion administered. At this ser-
vice four children were baptized. By
this time the sun was tending towards |
the western horizon, and Rev. Kresge |
hastened to his home in this place
r and supper were united |
but yet his |
where dinner
for him in one meal,
Lord’s day’s work was not completed
mmtil after he had preached in the
Amity church of this place. He cer-
tainly was entitled to a rest on the
eighth day, Monday.
