Joyful Month.
To childhood, and may we not say
to every man and woman in the Christ
ian world as well, with December
comes the entrance of the brightest
and most joyful month of the year.
What holiday equals t'hristmas with
its cheer, its hopes, and the fruition
of days aud weeks of anticipation. Of
all festivals 011 the globe, none enters
so many homes with gladness. It is
the day which brought hope to a lost
world, and it ought to be the best,
holiest and happiest season of the year.
Withal, outside of the holidays, it is
a period when skating,coasting.sleigh
ing outdoors, and dances, socials, en
tertainments and indoor pleasures are
at their height
While the bourn of light grow less
until the 21st of December, and the
path of the sun lies low, and the day
is short, at the close of the month the
battle between light and darkness h »s
ended with three minutes to the credit
of the former, and once more the orb
of day is on its way to bring us warmth
ami a return ot the birds ami flow

NATIONAL GUARD
CAMP AT ST- LOUIS
Next NU turner's encampment of TLIT*
rutin- division of tlio National Guard
of Pennsylvania will, in all probability
!if held at St Lou is in connection with
tlit* Louisiana Purchase Exposition
Plans aro now 1 considered hv
tlio officers commanding the division
looking towards that end, and it will
certainly be pleasing news to the meiu
bers of the Twelfth Regiment to know
tliat there is a chance for them to
camp at St. Louis, and at th« namt'
time have an opportunity of visiting
tlie great fair.
The National Guardsman, the offi
cial organ of the National Guard A
sociation ot the United States, in its
la-t issue stated that these arrange
ments were under way,and that in all
probability they would be eminently
successful. The proposition is to have
tiie Pennsylvania division, comprising
as it does nearly 10,000 men, and a
' brigade or division of the regular army
| camp there at the same time and go
through a series of nianoeuvers. These
liianoeu vers would be 011 a larger scale
than any yet attempted by the combin
ed troops of the reserve and the reg
ular forces, and the chauces are that
the camp would last for at least fout
teen days.
Managers of the exposition have
communicated with Governor Penny
packer, Major General Charles Miller
and Brigadier General John A. Wiley,
in connection with the proposition
and have ottered camp sites and spec
ial railroad rates aud accommodation
inducements and that the State gov
ernment is taking an interest in tlie
! matter is borne on by the fact that
J Col. Dougherty, of tlie Ninth, on his
return from the nianoeuvers at Fort
Riley, Kan., stopped off at St. Louis
| and looked over the ground proposed
j to be used as a camp site.
Col. Dougherty, in speaking of this
laud says that it is ideal for the pur
' pose and that there is plenty of room
camp 20,000 men there aud give
them parade grounds and a place to
work out the problems of attack and
defense.
The National Guard of this State
will be the cynosure of thousands of
people who will attend the fair. Re
! cruiting will also have to stop some
what earlier this year than usual so
that the groeu men taken 111 the coni
; maud will have an opportunity of be
| coming familiar with the work before
they are taken to camp. In fact re
cruiting will have to stop early of its
own volition for the law allows sixty
1 men to a company and there will no
doubt be a rush among the young men
not now identified with the guard to
join before the command is taken to
| St. Louis.
At present all of the companies aro
up to the minimum strength of fifty
men, so it will be seen that there is
not much chance tor outside men to
enlist unless they do it at once before
the vacancies existing at present are
filled.

Neither Side Able to Score.
The game of football at DeWitt's
Park 011 Thanksgiving Day between
the High school team of this city and
Catawissa was an exceedingly well
played and interesting contest, al
though neither side scored. Our boys
won the toss and kicked off to Cata
wissa. They seemed to have an ad
vantage over their opponents and the
greater part of the game was played
in Catawissa's territory. In each half
the ball changed hands,hut Catawissa
could not advance.
The weather was clear and just eold
enough to brace up the boys for a stiff
g me'. There was a good-sized crowd
present. The line up :

THE CUE OF
THE MISSION
Ihe Mis mi at St. Hubert's Cath
olic ' liurcli closed Sunday night. The
building was packed to the doors. It
I- doubtful it in the history of St.
1 1 u I 11 -cbII i 11 a series of II let 11 ngs
u;i- i ver In Id which aroused greater
n ligious intere.-t than the Mission by
the U 11 11«111o11st Father-
IIn Mission sermon Saturday night
v. as preached by Kev. Joseph .I. Schol
ia. A Del the disc mrse a most beauti
ful and touching ceremony took place.
I'o tic right ot the high altar a beauti
ill 1 shrine had beon erected in honor
ot the Blessed Virgin Mary. On a high
peib stal above the altar stood a statue
11 present ing th.' immaculate virgin,
whieli was surrounded by numerous
burning wax candles, cut flowers and
potted plants. Kneeling about the
iltar were :!•> little girls dressed in
white w inug wreaths on their heads.
They repeated in a loud and clear
vuii the words of consecration to the
Bii-s-'-d Motln rand premised to re
main pure and spotless by imitating
her virtues, after which the entire
parish repeated the words of consecra
tion in the German language. Then
t!ie choir sang the canticle of the
Blessed Mother called the Magnificat
during which Father Scliolly incensed
the statue and shrine. Benediction
with most blessed Sacrament closed
the beautiful ceremony, which will
long lei remembered by the devoted
members of St. Hubert's parish as one
ot the most beautiful that was ever
held ill this church.
The subject of Father Seholly's ser
mon was : "Mary, the Mother of God,
our most Merciful Mother." He said
in part: "When we reflect en the
danger that surrounds us in our strug
gle against passion,temptation and sin
wo are affrighted at the thought of
God's justice. The eternal truths of
death,judgment and hell of themselves
till u- with fear and trembling. The
sou 1 in -in is thereby discouraged and
brought to the brink ot despair but the
thought of the Redeemer who so loved
the world as to lay down His life to
-ive it should till him with hope and
confidence. Still the thought of his
off. tided God, Redeemer, though He

:it times lie ictuses to sue for paitlon.
through the darkness that clouds his
-mil (in I in His goodness and mercy
semis another ray of light. It i- the
-tar ot the Sea, Mary, the Mother of
(iod, the Hope and tin* Refuge of sin
ners, our own most powerful and most
Merciful Mother. The reverend speak
er then traced the promise ot a Re
de mi r, who was to come from the
-ed of tln* woman tlnough whom sin
entered the world
Later on HI prophecy God made
Un w n that the Messiah was to be born
of a Virgin an 1 when the fullness of
11111< ha I come lie sent a Prince among
thi ang'-I- to an bumble virgin at
\ i/. in th with tin message loi which
tin world bid awaited four thousand
\ • :it - This virgin was Mary con
e ived without sin and destined by
God to give birth to the Redeemer
\t her fiat the Soil of God, the only
l begotten of the Father,left His throne
in Heaven and as St. John Kays the
Won! wa- made flesh amldwelt among
us. Miry, therefore, is tho Mother of
Christ, of God become man, hence the
un it In : of God. As mother she has in
tln ie over the heart of God, who
w i- her Son At her request Christ
worked 111- tir-t miracle at Canaan
Who will -ay that her influence as
mother ends with her death on earth?
Isle- not in Heaven still the mother
•if (iod, made man Is her power over
th- In-art ot God shortened * No. The
history of the church the last nineteen
liuiidr- I vi ii- proves that Mary is still
our most powerful and merciful motli
• ! Christ give her to us as His last
s\ 11 and testament on Calvary when
lb -aid to St. John, "Son, behold thy
mother." The Fathers of tho Church
tea h that by these words and the
words "Woman, behold thy Son!"
Marv became the mother of all souls
red' etned by Christ. She has provt n
hers If our mother by tho numerous
miracles wrought in behalf of poor
sinners. Her shrines in Europe and
evi-11 here in America prove her power
ot intercession. As mother of the Re
de 'iner who came to save, "not the ,
just but sinners" she has always
shown a mother's love and sympathy
for poor sinners. So true is this that
as St Bernard says "Never was it
heard that any one, even the most ab
andoned sinner, who cried to her for
help went away unaided." The rever
■ml speaker urged the people to have
re< lurse to their mother Marv in all
thin' necessities of soul and body.
Any devotion no matter how small
practiced in her honor would gain for
them her powerful protection.
After the 10 o'clock mass Sunday
morning Father Scliolly preached on
the baneful effects and the lolly of
human respect. He showed tho row
irdiee of fearing man more than
God and letting that false shame to
off end man keep us fioin practicing
our duty to God and our neighbors.
At the closing service last evening
the Kev. Father Parr preached an in
structive sermon on the means of pre
-erving the fruits of the Mission. He
pointed out to bis hearers that in ord
er to remain fervent Christians they
must avoid whatever has led tliein in
to -in This they can do by fervent
i layer and lrequent reception of the
sacraments of penance and Holy Com

All three of the mills, at Berwick

The question as t i what opportunity

The Association tiist ot all seeks to
deepen ami to d 'Vclop the personal
spiritual life ot the caud date tor the
ministry, no matter what his denomi
nation may be. This is done by em
phasizing such broad lines as habits of
prayer, tho consideration of universal
principles and the devotional study of
the Bible. Further, the Association
encourages a careful, up-to-date study
of world-wide missions—tln-ir aims,
their history,their problems and their
needs. Methods of personal soul-win
ning and evangelistic efforts are also
studied and used, and a large social
and neighborhood work is undertaken.
This department of the Young Men's
Christian Association is now in its
sixth year and hi- already spread to
eighty-four institutions where young
men are trained for the ministry ol i
twenty-nine different denominations. '
This number includes almost every j
Protestant evangelical theological in- J

as in Canada,and i- welcomed by Pres

REV. ARMSTRONG'S
DISCOURSE
J liu members of (irove Presbyterian
| <-iiurt ii 111 rued out en masse Sunday
morning to welcome their former past
or, tin) Rev. E. (.J Armstrong of Will
| iauisport, who had exchanged pulpits
with tin- Rev. Dr. McCormack.
Mr Armstrong's sermon wan oue ot
In- characteristic discourses, original
HI thought, philosophic an 1 abounding
in beau til ul lessous, which he aptly
j applied.
The sermon, which was founded on
four passages of .Scripture, traced the
ascent of the soul up the great stair
r;iMi leading from its unconverted
Mate to an inheritance of the joy;, of
the redeemed. The ascent consists
Jof four stages marked in order by
" Companionship." "Fellowship," or
, | "Friendship,'''"Co-partnership,' * and
i | "Proprietorship. " lie very etlective-
I ly showed how one experience of the
: mil! leads to another and how as a
j person forced to lie alone craves a
| companion, so the soul on its journey
upward comes to find solace 111 the
companionship of God.
Companionship by revealing a
similarity of experiences, tastes. &c\,
I leads to a closer relation,that of "Fel
lowship," which in turn leads to
" Friendship. "
Mr. Armstrong used these circum
stance- to illustrate the closer relation
ship which is hound to spring up be
tween a soul and its God whenever a
companionship with that God is sought
i In the affairs ot the world a fellow
ship between men leads to co-partner
ship in business, in which great in
; vestments are made and immense op
! erations conducted. So the person in
fellowship with God can only fulfill
tin- mission ot a Christian lite by en
teiing into a co-partnership with God.
It was remarked by the way that many
a person is unconsciously made a part-
I ner with God —made an instrument to
| carry out God's plans, as when an un
godly person is permitted to accumu
late great wealth, which eventually
[ may he made to redound to the good
|ol humanity. It is the conscious co
partnership with God, however, that
brings toman his greatest joy, divine
| guidance and help. It is'only in this
relation that we can hope to overcome
the inherent tendency to evil.the rem
nant of a savage ancestry which still
lingers within us. In the conscious
presence of (iod every inherent vice
I loses its power and dies.
The last stage of the soul's ascent is
."Proprietorship," which can not be
; well expressed ill words, but is well
understood by those tried Christians
who possess the divine inheriance.
The above i- only an outline ot Mr.
Armstrong's s rinon. It was truly a
great tr» at and abounded in beautiful
thoughts, which for many years will
lie treasured in the hearts of those who
heard the discourse.

TERRORIZED THE
RESIDENTS
Nowadays the perpetrators of almost
every crime euacted iu this section
takes especial pride iu doing or saying
MOUietiiiuK tiiat smacks of the Cleudeu
iictl case. The outrageous and brutal
murder of the operator, in his lonely
tower, was so tragic and unusual a
tiling tliat other criminals,seeking ad
ditional terror, ape the methods pur
sued hy thu Brown's tower assassin.
At Excelsior, a small town on the
Heading railroad near Sliamokin. a
party of thugs terrorized the people
hy announcing that they were the
Olendeiinen murderers. The story of
their doings is told hy the Shamokia
Dispatch as follows :
"Four strangers with the stamp of
professional criminals upou their gen
eral demeanor terrorized rlie residents
of Kxcelsior last evening between t;
and 7 o'clock, aud perchance their
boast that they were the (Jlendennen
murderers and robbers was true. The
four fellows, who were the most des
perate seen in this vicinity iu many
mouths, were loitering about Green
back yesterday afternoon. They were
fairly well dressed, and were all at
tired alike, wearing black suits, black
flaiiuel shirts and slouch hats, which
they wore down over their face. They
carried with them several satchels,
which thev guarded with religious
care and which are thought to contain
a kit of burglar's tools. It is the op
inion of many that these men know
something of the safe cracking at
Phoeuixville Sunday night. They ar
rived in Kxcelsior,aud exposing threat
ening looking guns,proceeded to make
the lives of the residents miserable.
They called at a number of homes and
demanded supper and a place to sleep.
They were given something to eat in
several places, but did not wait for
their beds. In order to emphasize
their remarks and strike terror to the
hearts of their victims they said *We
I are the Clendennen murderers and rob
j hers, aud unless our demands are com
i plied with aud silence maintained,
i there will be several more such myst
eries.' The news of the desperate fel
lows' actions spread through the vil
lage like wild fire.and in a short time
all over the place could be heard peo
ple nailing tbeir windows and doors
A number of men armed themselves
to give battle, but before they en
countered the four desperadoes, they
had made good ttieir escape."
