At the morning service be took as bia text: Joel, 2:2B— "Your old men ■ball dream dreams and your young men shall see visions " The text was very aptly and beauti fully applied. God reveals himself in dream § and visions. Religion does not narrow the horizon of a man's life. Some men are narrow and their spirit nal outlook is uarrow. To the stone mason the stone he handles is only a UUB to fill a place in the wall , to the geologist in addition it is a treasure boose of truth in which is stored on written pages of the wot Id's history. The visions of youth become the dreams of age. All the great move ments of history owed their origin to the visions and the enthusia-m ot youth. The young believe all things aie possible and for the young to be lieve is to do. A slave sale in New Orleans was witnessed by the great Lincoln in his •youth. His hatred of slavery and his burning desire to see it abolished are matters of hi9torv. The slave sale was a vision which in the later years of bis life became a dream which found ill fulfillment when he affixed bis signature to the Emancipation Proc lamation. Progress is not a real thing. Periods of enlightenment and civilization give way to eras of darkness when the world seems drifting backward. The • history of man repeats itself IU ever recurring cycles. Today we are con fronted with drunkenness, corrup tion in high places and vice iu many forms. The young are scornful and the aged become cynical. But God is ever with us and in tie dreams and visions iu which he speaks to us of the future and of things of M»© soul we fiud hope and strength to aid us in overcoming the inclinations ot the flesh and in living a life that will fit us tor immortality. The vision ot the mind is the vision uf progress; the vision of the heart is a vision of love; the vision of the soul is a vision of faith — faith in Cbrist. faith in God Cherish these visions and keep them alive; they are God speaking to you. Old age may be beautiful when it keeps in memory the visions of youth and dreaming of love and hoping for another life where those departed shall meet again it goes onto the very end of earth When the darkness falls about you may yon still be dreaming dreams.

UOMMITTEDIO JUL PO# TRIAL Peter Snyder, Bank street, was com niitted to jail yesterday afternoon to await trial uuder the general charge of cruelty and neglect of his three small children. Snyder was arrested Monday evening and taken before Justice of the Peace J. P. Bare, who in older to obtain some additional witnesses postponed tin- hearing until yesterday afternoon. Thert were five witnesses present yesterday including Mrs, Emma Jord an, a married daughter.who lodged the information. The evidence adduced was nothing short of harrowing and showed a pitiable state of affairs in the Snyder home. According to the information,which was supported by tin* neighbors who were witnesses, there arc three small motherless children in the family. A little girl of 9 years does the house work There is still a younger child of 6 and a boy 13 years old. The father is charged with beatiug the boy unmercifully, with driving the children out ol the house aud threat ening to kill them if they dared to enter. The justice decided to let a jury decide upon the case and asked him if lie could procure bail. He wanted no bail, lie said, and declared that he would goto jail. Therefore, to jail he went. Forest Fires. The forest tires have never been more extended or prolonged iu this state than this Spiing, owing to the great st drought ou record, at this season of the year. It is estimated that $50,000,000 worth of property has gone up in forest tires the past four weeks. The New Vork Mail and Express ot lasi evening says: "Nothing imagin able can be more stupidlv uneconomic than the way we have in this country treated and are sill treating our wood wealth. If the ordinary and average wood lot is not burned over,and three quarters of its product wasted in tire, it is the custom to cut it all off clean every twenty-five or thirty years and then let it sprout up again. Nothing is permuted to mature, of course—the little trees are taken with the bigger ones, and nature is left to begin all over agaiu. The process is very much the same as it would be if the farmer, to get his bay, should rip up the sod, leaving nature to produce a new sod slowly and painfully. The ordinary woodcutter does not know how to take the timber that is ripe,or somewhere nearly so, and leave the young crop to come oil. He destroys more completely than the fire does." The department of agriculture has been giving the people, at no cost to tliein, a series of object lessons in forestry which will bear fruit some time, and we are pleased to see that it is, through the bureau of forestry, now taking up this forest fire pro blem. It has begun by stationing foresters in the districts where fires prevail to find out just, what causes them, and what prevents them from being extinguished. When the proper data have been accumulated the bureau will formulate a plan of pre vent ion, and presumably do what it can to bring a realizing sense of the wastefulness and wickedness of forest burning home to the people.

FISHING WITH SEINE NETS A number of fishermen who were dragging a seine up Mahoning creek Saturday night came very uuar getting into trouble. About it o'clock the men, who it seems, hail started in at the creek's mouth, were detected by a citizen who resides on West Mahoning street. Tim fishermen had then reached a point op posite Chestnut street at the lowei end of the Borough. The police force and Constable W. E. Voung, wem at once notified. The officers made a dash for the creek. The fishermen were still at work, and had reached it point op posite Moyer's livery stable. The men, a half dozen <>>' so in number, one of whom was carrying a lantern, could easily be seen dragging the net through the water. They were mi the opposite side of the creek, however, from the officers,who stood near Moyer's livery stable. Hopiug to effect an arrest, the offic ers stealthily advanced along the shore toward the aqueduct, where they ex pected to cross. The fishermen were on the alert, however, and spied the officers before they could cross the stieain. There was a hurried consultation among the men with the seine follow ed by a rush tor safety. A moment later their dim figures could be seen scrambling up over the cinder tip ami dragging their net after them. The officers gave up the chase. Interesting Missionary Meetings. 'lhlie Woman's iijme and Foreign Missionary Societies of the Mahoning and Grove Presbyterian Churches were addressed yesterday by Mrs. W. E. Thomas of Lewishurg, a vice presi dent of the Presbyterial Society. The Society connected with the Mahoning Presbyterian Church met at 4 o'clock in the afternoon; the one connected with the Grow Church met last evening. Mrs. Thomas,who is the wife of the Rev. W. E. Thomas, pastor of the Presbj terian Church at Lewishurg, is an enthusiastic missionary worker ami an able anil interesting speaker. She is a daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Mattoou, well known missionaiies in India. She was born in Siaiu and lived in that country until she was seven years of age. She thus is able to give much practical information on the state of affairs 111 India and the needs as they relate to missionary effort. Her mother was one of two missionary workers and the only two who were jiermitted to enter the kiug's household. Mrs. Thomas is sent out by the Presbyterial Society to look after the home and foreign missionary bodies connected with the different congre gations. She gave many valuable siig gestions as to management ami me thods which might be adopted to awaken an interest in missionary work. A Successful Organizer. Benjamin P. Harris of this city, Hi strict Deputy Supreme Organizer for the Heptasophs is meeting with flat tering success in the South. The Gastonia, N. C., News of May 15 con tains the following : Last Tuesday evening refreshments bountifully provided, an address, eloquent, instruct! ve and encouraging, from Col 11 I'. Harris, District De puty Supreme Organizer, two initia tions and additional applications for membership and an attendance ot thirty-odd members afforded addi tionl proof of the great impetus the order lias received in tins community. Sixteen members have been added this year and some ten applications are pending for action next Tuesday night. Total membership sixty-eight. Col. Harris is putting in a week's work to the forward movement so auspiciously inaugurated, and it is confidently ex pected that next Tuesday night will witness a large additiou to the mem bership of the order. Lost by One Vote. By the narrow margin of one vote the proposed loan of SOO,OOO was de feated at the Berwick election Mon day and thus vanished the prospect for the street sewering which is so badly needed in Berwick and w ba the council has been earnestly frying to secure. Three wards voted in favor of the loan but the North East had a majority against it which swayed the town and strange to say it was the need of sewers in this district which council was especially desirous of remedying. The vote polled was very light being less than one third the number of voters in the borough. Teachers Needed There. Voung men ami young women hold ing teachers' certificates but not be ing able to secure positions are advis ed to migrate to New Jersey, where there is a scarcity of pedagogues. Ac cording to a resident of Passaic,N. .1 , it is likely that the school board of that city and Newark will have to ap peal to some ot lie; Normal schools of Pennsylvania for public school teach ers. He says the young women there prefer stenography and typewriting instead of school teaching, hence the shortage ol teachers.

The next meeting of the Odd Fel lows' Anniversary association will be held at Montoursville next April in , stead of William-port. This was de finitely decided upon by the officers 'of the association when that town came forward recently with an offer to relieve William-port of caring for the meeting. The down river town has gone at the matter with fa spirit that insures success, and the next i meeting of the association promises to be fully as interesting as any yet held. When the association came to select a place of meeting iu the st ssion re cently belli in Milton, there were no invitations. It was then decided to meet at Willianisport, the headquarters of the association, unless some other town having a membership in the organization should ask for the meet ing. Willianisport having entertain ed the association two years ago, did not ask for the meeting, but was will ing to take it. Now that Montours ville gives an invitation, the officer decided to transfer the meeting to that place. Already the Odd Fellow- of Montoursville have gotten out a sub scription list, and have mis al over #IOO toward the celebration, most ct which tomes from the merchants of the town. Tie members of the order are very enthusiast it: about the mat ter, and promise to make arrange ments that will guarantee one of the most enjoyable celebrations yet held Willianisport Sun. |- - - MOriE TESTiriONV FOR HOriE PEOPLE When you are asked to take the word 1 of some one unknown and at a distance, I as to the value of an article, it requires | a stretch of faith.

In the catholic churches the three days preceding the Ascension of Jesus Christ are set apart as Rogation Days or "Days of Asking." They are to be kept as special days of fasting, sup plication anil prayer for bounteous Inn vests, hi preparation for the great feast to follow. The institution of this fast period occurred during the fifth century, when in view of the alarm ing condition of the young crops, the edict was made that these days should be kept in the prescribed manner, and the observance has since continued. In view of the present prolonged drought these days would seem to oc cur this year at a very opportune time,ami especially appropriate si-eiii ed the prayers for rain offered at pub lie services last Sunday, Rogation Sun day.

By A RUNAWAY William Pensyl, one of the oldest and most highly respected residents of Northumberland county is lying at his home in Elysburg in a critical eon (litlon, as the result of a runaway a cident near his home last week Mr. Pensvl, who owns the large tannery on the lull north of Ely-burg, it being the only industry of this kind in the region, had some business to transact with a farmer who livi s mv eral miles away from the Pciis\ I home stead. Accordingly,he hitched a pit it ed team of horses tot light spring wagon and started on the jourucv The tirst several miles Were traveled in safety, but upon coming to a ditch both horses became fractious and be gan rearing and plunging. Mr. Pensyl's right hand was baud aged as the result ot a severe wound ami lie wib consequently compelled to take care of it, in fact lie had no use ol' t lie at 111. Suddenly the horses started on a mad tear down the road, the wagon swerving first to one side and then to the other while Mr. Pensyl did all in his power to check their mad career. Catching in a rut the wagon upset and the aged taunt r was hurled to tie ground. His bead struck a large stone, rendering him unconscious. Farmers rushed to Ins assistance, removed him to his home and summoned Dr. Al lison, who found Mr. Pensyl scrioosh injured, his head having been badly cut and bruised. Yesterday hew as rest ing easier and although his condition is critical bis life is not <b spaired of. The team was stopped seveial miles from the scene of the upset, the wag on having been totally demolished Protecting Tlie Birds. Ky an agreement between the Mi 111 nery Merchants' Protective association of New York and the Audibon society of that state certain species of biids are to be withdrawn from the mil 1 i nery trade. They comprise the gulls, terns, grebes,humming birds and Ming birds which the society and the or nithologists' union have been striving to save from destruction for years. Monthly publication is to lie made in the magazine of the trade as to what birds cannot be legally bought. The millinery association further agices that after January, I'.HM, the plumage of the egret, heron ami American pcli can shall be added to tie; prohibited list. The Andohon society on its part agrees to endeavor to prevent any in terference on the part of game ward ens with the millinery trade, and to refrain from securing the passage of any legislation restricting the im portation of fancy feathers obtained from domesticated fowls, or of the plumage of foreign birds other than those already specified. One of the chief difficulties encount ered by the society in its efforts to protect the birds from tlie slaughter instigated by the decrees of fashion has been the attitude of opposition as sumed by the dealers in millinery,who have claimed that their trade was be ing injured by the crusade against bird ornamental ion of hats. In eon vert ing the trade to a humane view of the question the society has made a distinct gain, much more direct in its immediate effects than the more grad ual process of educating and refining feminine taste to the point wlieie the eyes of fair women could take more real delight iu seeing a gorgeously plumed bird on the w ing or perched on the swaying branch of a tree than on the nodding crown other Fall hat. If women must bedeck themselves in borrowed pinnies there can be no pos sible objection to the employment of the feathers of domestic fowls for such purposes. Now that the millinery trade and the Audubon society are at one on the subject of bird protection, there should be an appreciable decrease iu the slaughter of the birds. Let. the educational campaign iu the ruial dis tricts lie continued with unabated vigor, to the end that the farmer may restrain the destructiveness of his young hopeful with a gun. Let the farmers he informed that the decrease of the birds means the. increase of orchard pests, ft may fie possible to restore to the woods and fields their feathered population, so badly de pleted in recent years.
