Rev. J. Fronde, tho pastor, assisted the evangelist. Miss Do Merrltt conducted a series of revivals at the church last spring very successfully and her re-appearance has occasioned no little pleasure. The young lady was neatly attired in black with a small black bonnet of exquisite tasto tierchtd above her high, wide forehead. ShAarrivsd a littlo late, but mado an apology In such a pleasant way it was evident the congregation granted its foigtveness before the statement was completed. Miss De Merritt said she would give but a short talk in starting her rovlval season and lay a foundation for tho werk contemplated. Her idea is not that there is no foundation for revival work In Shenandoah, but in bo- mnniBS revival work in any town she finds it good to start ont with a little talk with tho people. The evangelist took as a text tho first nine versos of Isaiah VI, in which is described Isaiah's vision of God's throne, and put special stress upon tho third, sevonth and eighth verses. When wo behold tho Holy One it is then we see our hearts in contrast with what they should bo, but as long as one beholds only mon, then he may say, "I am as good as anyone; and hq may boast of his holiness and power. The llfo of mau is not to be measured by the life, of another man. This is the secret of so many failures. Look away from this place; away from men and women; away, far away, from earthly scenes of wickedness and into the faco ol tho Holy One; ana thon who wilUay"l am good en ugh, I am pure enough?" Who will botst of his holiness In tho presence of the Holy One? No ouo, if ho bo a sane man, or she a sane woman Thero aro some, it is feared, who couldn't join tho angels and sing "Jioly, holy, holy, is the Lord or hosts,' but rather "Woo is mo ! for I am undone.' Tho sanctified men and women are moving tho world to-day. Let tho man woman who is not sanctified get nu of tho way. God cannot uso him He is only n more block in tho way. There is no need of so many souls going to hell. God lives, and He lives to savo and sanctify. ho used to. "It makes my heart blood as I think, from day to day, that pooplo think that by sending for an evangelist n town can be saved, or that tho preacher can savo tho wholo pooplo. Do their best, they cannot do the work ; but you men and women roust carry tho message to tho workshops and everywhere that sanctlfication can savooverv sinner. If you do not live right, thon it is of no use. it la not tho word we noed so much Thero ar many people who can talk, but that won't do tho work. It is tho Hoy Ghost that takes bold of men's hearts. God is calling, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us f" God help tho timid one who would rather see a sinner dio than to go anil save htm. Miss De Merrltt disclaimed the oredit of saving people purely by her own exhortations, but said she did it with tho help oi unrisc ana the pooplo. wuilo at w likes Barre, a season of two weeks and four days, thero wore 129 conversions. Tho evangelist said that no matter how young a child may bo, it it had the IntellU Eouce to feel that it had sinned beforo the sight of God, it should beallowod to go to tho bonch and pray If it wished to. The speak' ert eyes moistened frequently and her for vent appeals caused a display of many hand kerchiefs in tho congregation, A number of people kueoled at the chancel rail before the meeting closod and tho meeting last night was also vory successful. Miss Do Merritt's stay here is indefinite, but will continue at least two weeics. Evangelist Williams will close his two week mission hore noxt Wednesday night He was sent hore by the Heading Association .Next Sunday he win conduct meetings in Brooklyn, Ho will then so to Hartford Conn,, and remain two weeks, after which he will go to Mlucrsvlllo, this county, or Chicago, 111. This has not been deolded definitely. This evening he will tell of bis life, to-morrow evening he will speak on "Life on the English Stage," and on Wed nesdsy evening he will make his farewell address and closo his mission at the English Baptist chnrch.

Pottsville, Feb. 26. No papers wcro tiled at ooart this morning by the attornsys for tho Citlsens party of Shenandoah, con testing tho election of the Democratic candi dates. Tho delay in fillug the papers is probably duo to tho fact that the attorneys are otherwise engaged. It is understood from rcllablo authority that tho Domocrats have had prepared papers contesting tho election of Baugh and MoEl- honny, in tho Second ward; Straughn and Hooks, in tho Third; Morgan, in tho Fourth and Lee, in the Fifth, and Emanuel and Me dalls, High Constable and Auditor-olect, re spectivoly, in fact, every successful candldato upon the Citizens' ticket at the recent olec tlon. Tho papers will be submitted to court tomorrow. The Shenandoah water cases wore called np before Judges Bcchtol and Weldman a; noon today and will prebobly occupy the at tention of the court for tho remainder of tho day. S. H.

After this branch f tho case is disposed of argument will bo mado for a pormanont in junction by tho Shenandoah Water and Gas Company to restrain the borough from inter forlng with tho company's water shed.

Penn I The 'children's entertainment under tho auspicei of tho infant department of tho Win. Pona Sunday school brought together the largest audience that ever assembled hero on such an occasion. Our little folks' ontertaiumcnts are all well patronized, but this one surpassed all former records and it was tho greatest financial success over known to our church for tho cause of missions. Tho program, so admirably rondored, was a source of great encouragement to all concerned. Mis. Laura L, Knight, our very efficient superin tendent of tho infant department, la deserv ing of much pralso for tho limo and patieurS required to meet with such splendid snccee? She earnestly desires to give duo credit to all who so cheerfully holped inthisnoblo work. Miss Alice Seltzer, as organist, and Miss Maggie James, as violinist, performed thoir part in a vory creditable manner. Piof. Evan L. Jones and hisbrothor, Bichard, neod only bo mentioned as giving entirosatistaction in their selections, knowu as they aro to bo first-class musicians. All readily agree that Mr. Kobcrt II. Leddon is very deserving ol mention for the hard work ho did in putting things in order. Othors might bo named, but it would mako our report too lengthy. We aro truly thankful to all whogavoa holplug hand. Wo can only mention tho principle characters, as follows: Miss Lillio A Dovey, who represented ".Mother Morryhoart," won tho admiration of the very largo audionco in the difficult part sho had to perform.

Evangelist George Williams, tho reformed thesplan, conducted a service in the English Baptist church, on South Jardln street, yestor day afternoon, for the benefit of men only. Tho gathering was n large one, but veiy lew seats in the place boiug vacant, Eev. Harri son, the pastor, assisted in tho service and tho choir rendered several Mieciai selections. Mr. Williams address, (it was really a plain talk based upon experiences and observations in his own life), was listened to with great interest bnd so much appreciated that when a collection was made for the benefit of tho Beading Association donations wore found nulte liberal. The evangelist said his object was to throw out red lights to show where the breakers aro ahukd in the life of men, especially those of the younger generation and ho warned against self abuse, infidelity, drunkenness and adul tery with the utmost earnestness. He wept at times when telling of his own experiences aa a victim of the liquor habit, but said that ono of the redeeming features of his life before conversion was that be bad never been guilty of adultery. He are ralgned the adulterer aa the meanest and lowest of mankind and unsparingly scored men who make insidious advances apon puro and virtuous girls and women. Valuable rabllootlou.
