HARVEST HOME
THANKSGIVING
A Harvest Thanksgiving iicrvice was
held at Shilolt Reformed Church Sun
day This) is an annual event of
more thau ordinary interest at Shi lob
Reformed church, which always brings
out a large eaaptgitNo, There was
a good yesterday morning,
notwithstanding the inclement weath
er.
The church as is customary on this
event was artistically decorated with
the various products of the soil,which
presented a very pretty appearance and
tilled the auditorium with delicious
odors. A sheaf of w heat and a sheaf
of oats occupied a place of honor at
each side of the pulpit while all about
were arranged finely developed speci
men- of fruitsjtnd vegetables, scarcely
anything being omitted which con
tributes to the husbandman's wealth.
Rev Liuibert's sermon was very ap
propn ate to the event The text was
taken from Deuteronomy, 2fi— ll:
"And Thou shalt rejoice in every
good thing which the Lord thy God
hath given unto thee and thy house."
The speaker began by indicating the
reasonableness of recognizing in a
special service the material blessings.
First we have a body which God has
created as well as the soul and which
He uses no less than the soul. With
out proj»er food and sustenance, we
grow weak and faint not only in body
but also in mind and soul, losiug in
spiritual vigor and unable to perform
the mental labor required of us. The
Scripture states that whilst the body
is the tabernacle of the soul, it is
nevertheless the temple of the Living
God. The body, therefore, needs at
tention and sustenance to the end that
it may be a fit instrument of the soul
through which God acts and carries
out His purposes The material bless
ings of life are essential and are pro
vided by God in His infinite Wisdom.
The body, however, i- not an end to
itselt it is mortal and dissolves in the
dust. We are prone to forget the
source of these material blessings and
too often we sit down to our tables,
eujoying the good things, thereof,
without giving one thought to their
value and the Divine Hand from which
they flow.
We sow, we reap, we toil along the
various lines of human activity, and
we are apt to credit ourselves with
the results which crown our labors,
forgetting that we can not produce
one blade of grass, not one ray of sun
light—that these and all blessings
flow from God.
The choir rendered an anthem ap
propriate to the occasion. Tlie Harvest
Thanksgiving was continued at even
ing. when a special service of -inging
and responsive reading was rendered
together with an address by the pastor.

TUG BRIDGE AT
WASHINGTONfILLE
Tin' County Commissioners are kept
pretty busy making repairs oil the
largo number of bridges throughout
tlie county, tin- most of which arc of
the woollen kind
They are at present placing new
ahutnii'iits under the covered bridge at
Washingtonvillo on the Milton roail.
The bridge is ;t largo oile anil In sup
pint the structure ami keep it open for
travel while the work is going on is
no easy task. Yet the feat has heen
very successfully accomplished hy 11
use of railroad ties which are built
up MI the form ofcrihwoik underneath
tu support the jacks. The new ahut
uieiits aie being laid up under the sup
ervtston of Daniel St. Clair.
The bridge being repaiied 1- a veil
erable old landmark. Its age is esti
mated at not less than eighty years.
It is still in good condition ami when
perched on it- new abutments it will
no doubt survive to round out one
hundred vears of life. At the present
day iron bridges are becoming the
popular type, hut the wooden struct
ures of a past generation protected l»y
root and weather hoarding present re
markable instances of longevity and
usefu Iness.
The old bridge at Washingtonville
is a case in point. During its long
life only once did it yield to the rav
ages of the flood. This was about
thirty years ago during a time of ex
ceptionally high water, when it was
lifted from its abutments ami carried
a short distance below it site. In
order to get it back into position it
was necessary to take the entire struct
ure apart and remove it piecemeal.
Wooden bridges as a rule are no
longer built owing to the difficulty of
securing suitable timber ami the en
ormous cost involved. Iron bridges,
which need no roof for protection, are
much cheaper and more easily built.
None of the timbers required about a
bridge are scarcer or more expensive
than the planks required for the floor.
To obviate their use many of the iron
structures now built have a concrete
floor, which answers the purpose
very well.

THE LOVE
OF CHRIST
A largo eongrogat ion 111 rm><i out at
Mahoning Presbyterian church Sun
day in(irniii)4 to hear Kov George .1
Minims, 1). 1) , ot New York City.
Dr. Minims is not a stranger in Dan
ville. having preached in Mahoning
Proshyterian cliiin li at least twice pre
viously, the last 11nit in January.
Since In- last \ i-11 hero lie lias passed
through a long siogo of illness, being
confined to Ins hurt for elovt n weeks.
He has not yet fully regained his
strength and announced yesti rilay that
ho will lest in Danville fin a few
days, conduct nig the prayer meeting
Wednesday night.
Dr. Mingins is unquestionably one of
the ablest ill v I lies t hat visit Danville.
A master of language, deeply learn
ed, earnest and at tunes impassioned,
he hits the faculty of presenting tint
truths ot scripture in a light which
inalv< s tlieni self-evident and convinc
ing.
The offering y-'sterday was for
Church Extension and in making the
announcemeut the speaker indulged in
some remarks which will no doubt
serve as food for thought. He drew a
melancholy picture id many suctions
of the w ide west w here a church stee
ple is an object that never greets the
eye and the return of Sunday brings
no opportunity to hear the gospel,off
setting it with a picture <d the great
cities where churches crow d each other
and wealth out ot all proportion to the
needs i- lavished upon them. Nearly
every town and village in the East, ho
said,have more churches than are need
ed, and become a heavy and unneces
sary burden which the worldly are not
slow in taking advantage of as an
excuse for remaining away from
church altogether. He deplored that
the money needlessly spent on Churohes
in the Hast could not he diverted to
the West where the great Melds tor re
ligious effort lie. lie encouraged Ii I >
oral, conscientious giving, hut not
giving that was done for show. Per
sons who give beyond their means may
he giving the butcher's and the 1 cik
ei*s money and not. their own.
Dr. M ingins'sermon was founded on
Ephesians , Ilrd chapter, I'.ith verse:
"And to know the love of Christ
which passeth understanding."
The sermon was an exalted picture
of (bid's boundless love. The text is
a part ot a prayer offered by St. Paul
for the Ephcsian Church. There is
nothing in the subject, however, to
limit it to the Ephe-ians. Speaking
of Christ and his love Dr. Mingins
said :
Everything connected w 1111 Christ is
great and extraordinary. Hi- two fold
nature, His glorious person His di
vine perfection, His wondrous offices.
His peerless titles, His ania/ing work.
But the subject of the text is His sur
passing love, which is greater than all
the rest The love of Christ ill all its
greatness and infinity is heyond the
scope ot creature minds and none can
ever know it to perfection.
Can yon conceive of an intellectual
person of pure and lofty morals, of a
strong and righteous judgment, ot an
exalted sense of justice compassiona
ting a creature of unmixed vileness.of
self -imposed misery, of deep hate and
malignity of spirit and one who
sought no elevation,desired no mercy.
Yet the realitv of the picture is more
striking. Think of the High ami
Lofty one, clad in purity, id' infinite
truth and justice, yet fixing his re
gards and love on a self ruined and
polluted creature. The depth of (Sod's
love can he measured only by the
depths of sin and the still deeper mis
ery from which it has redeemed us.
None are too low or vile tor the em
brace of that love. It stoops to the
verge of hell and lift- to the Glories
of Heaven.
A Purgative Pleasure.
If you ever took DeWitt's Little
Early Hisers for biliousness or con
stipation you know what a purgative
pleasure is. These famous little pills
cleanse the liver and rid the system of
all Inle without producing unpleasant
effects. They do no gripe, sicken or
weaken, hut give tone and strength to
the tissues and organs involved. W.
H. Howell, of Houston, Tex., says:

tle Early Risers for constipation, sick
headache, etc." Sold by Paules iV

March of the Trolley Road.
Shamokin to Philadelphia by trolley

Mrs. George Summer and daughter

And this i- not all. Within a year

Meanwhile the crossing of the
bridge 11\ the trolley heroines the
subject nl much discussion by the
public. In the tirst 111 ice tin' crossing
of the bridge is every where admitted
to he feasible. The structure has
been examined by experts and pro
nounced to be stronger and in every
way a better bridge than the one lie
tween Sunbury and Norlhuiiiberlaml.
which carries the cars of the street
railway. The question then ai isua
shall the cars pass over the bridge on
the inside or upon the outside?
To cross on the inside would he to
imitate the general example where
such bridges aie used by trolley lines.
The roadway is eighteen feet wide
and a trolley car would occupy 110
more space than one of the large buss
es which run between this city and
South Danville. A representative of
the Street Railway Company is au
thority for the statement that the
rails will be laid llush with the floor
of the bridge so that no inconvenience
will be experienced in diiving and
that furtbei as a precaution against
all accident the niotoriiicn will lie un
der instructions to stop whenever a
vehicle is met in the bridge and if
necessary to alight from the car and
assist in controlling the horse. In
this way it is believed that all danger
would be reduced to a minimum and
that an electric car in the river bridge
would lie an object much less to be
dreaded than an automobile, which
are now becoming about as frequent
as t nil lev cars and are not always in re
sponsible bauds nor 1 1111 under the
same good regulations that belong to
street railways.
To cross on the outside of the bridge
is considered impiacticablo as it
would necessitate the removal of the
side walk and the erection of an ad
ditional super-structure. The jiieis
would have to be largely rebuilt,
while the bridge for the street rail
way would have to lie of peculiar con
struction, involving a big outlay,
which the project would not warrant.
To sum up the situation ll might
lie said that the river bridge has
brought affairs relating to the tiolley
up to a somewhat critical point, for
upon the action of the County Com
missioners in deciding as to whether
the cars shall inside or outside the
bridge depends whether or not South
Danville shall have a trolley
The fact might as well In known
that the representatives of lie Dan
villo and Riverside street railway
company are einph itu- in the assertion
that unless permitted to lay their
track in the river b-idge tin- company
will abandon the project of going to
South Danville, as they sec 110 jus
tice, in the premises, of being oldiged
10 assume the heavy expense ot laying
an outside track.
The public therefore see what the
building of an ehctrie railway to
South Danville is conditioned upon.
It would bo too bail if the project
should be abandoned. The street rail
way will be beneficial to Danville; it
would do wonders for South Danville
mil Riverside. Tiie beautiful building
sites there would not long lie idle.
Connected by a street railway, which
is everywhere recognized as a develop
ing agency, Danville and the locality
011 the other side of the river would
up abreast, the former continu
ing the seat of the industries and the
latter becoming the residence portion
It clearly becomes the duty of every
progressive citizen of South Danville
and Riverside to assist the enterprise
by prevailing upon their County Com
missioners to adopt the one course
necessary in order to insure the build
ing of the Electric railway.
