rare, but greatness In a man shines
In any stand he takes or position

In a very short time we will be

bet that our National per capita debt
will be less than our borough per

our borough's population Is 3,000,
and our debt $70,000 making our
per capita debt about $23.00. When

terrible extravagance of our gen
eral government tell him that old

The Star of Bethlehem, Halley's
Comet, is due to be seen this year
and part of next year. By some it
is supposed to be the Star of Beth
lehem. Its period is about 75
years, and it has been observed at
these Intervals since the fifteenth
century. It last visited us in 1835
when its tail was about 20 degrees
long and its nucleus like the red
star Antares. It may be visible to
the naked eye next month about mid
way between the Pleiades and Hya
des on the west and Castor and Pol
lux in Gemini on the east, or about
7 degrees to thr right, or west, of
the bright star Alhenla In Gemini.

Gouldslioro's Pastor's Anniversary.
On Sunday, September 19, Rev.
M. Smeltzer celebrated his sixth
anniversary as pastor of the Goulds-
boro Grace Evangelical Lutheran
church. In the morning Pastor
Smeltzer preached an appropriate
sermon in honor of the event, from
the text, "Bear ye one another's
burdens and thus fulfill the law of
Christ," taking as his subject, "Bur
den Bearing." Among other things
he said: "It would be wrong not to
refer to the six years we have been
together as'pastor and people. Once
in six years personal allusions are
pardonable. Could we trace all
things to their hidden springs, we
might And many unknown blessings,
and moreover many secret faults.
Since our knowledge is at best sup
erficial we can only examine what
our human mind perceives. Judg
ing from externals, then, our con
gregation has made advances In the
light direction."
The official acts of the pastor dur
ing the six years, from September
17, 1903, to September 17, 1909,
were as follows: Funerals, 22; mar
riages, 11; infant baptisms, 34;
new members received, 36; sermons
preached, 625.
The finances of the church are in
excellent condition, each one of the
organizations reporting balances in
their treasuries. The contributions
for benevolent purposes have been
liberal in every direction. Home
and foreign missions, orphans' home,
synodical purposes, theological sem
inary and other causes have receiv
ed liberal sums from the congrega
tion. More than $5,600 has been
raised by the congregation, the Sun
day school and Ladies' Union in the
last six years.
A little over two years ago, the
church was rebuilt, at a cost of $3,-
000. Of this sum over $1,600 has
been raised during the interval since
then, leaving a debt on the congrega
tion of $1,325. Pine new oak pews
were installed, the church refres
hed and recarpeted. new nulDit
furniture added, in addition to a
number of other improvements.
This summer the church and rectory
were repainted, the expense of which
was borne by the Sunday school.
The membership of the Sunday
school under the efilclent leadership
oi nr. waiter I. Flower, has tripled
in the present pastorate, and the
average attendance equals seventy-
nve per cent, of the membership.
Large and flourishing societies are
connected with the church, viz.:
Ladles' Union, Luther League and
Men's Club. The church which is
a mission congregation of only fifty'
lureu mem tiers, was lniormed re
cently by the representative of the
Board of Home Missions, that in
nnanciai contributions this church
led all the rest, of the missions in
the state of Pennsylvania, and that
Rev. Arthur L. Smith, of RIcketts,
Pa., a son of the. congregation, stood
next In rank. The work done here
during the past six years has at
tracted widespread attention, and
the pastor has been highly com
mended for the work of the congre
gatlon.

ELIOT'S RELIGION.
Harvard's Ex-Prcsidcnt Out With
His New Theology.
Cambridge, Mass., Sept. 20.
President Emeritus Charles W. Eliot
to-day for the first time makes the
authentic publication of his "Re
ligion of the Future," in the Harvard
Theologcal Review.
Dr. Eliot in defining "the religion
of the future," says:
"The religion of the future will
not be based on authority, either
spiritual or temporal.
"The decline of the reliance upon
absolute authority is one of the most
significant phenomena of the mod
ern world. This decline is to be
seen everywhere in government
education, in the church, in business
and in the family. The present
generation is willing and indeed of
ten eager to be led, but It is averse
to being driven, and it wants to un
derstand the grounds and sanctions
of authoritative decisions. As a
rule, the Christian churches Ro
man, Greek and Protestant have
heretofore relied mainly upon the
principle of authority.
"Nor will there be in the religion
of the future any identification of
any human being, however majestic
in appearance, with the eternal
deity.
"The new religion cannot prom
ise that sort of aid either to nations
or Individuals in peril. The religion
of the future will not perpetuate the
Hebrew anthropomorphic represen
tations of God conceptions which
were carried in large measure into
Institutional Christianity. It will
not think of God as an enlarged and
glorified man.
"The central thought of the new
religion will be a humane and wor
thy Idea of God.
"The new religion rejects abso
lutely that man Is an alien In the
world or that God is alienated from
the world. It rejects also the en
tire conception that man is a fallen
being and tending downward by
nature.
"To the wretched sick and down
trodden, religion has in the past held
out hopes of future compensation.
The new religion will not attempt
to reconcile men and women to pre
vent Ills by promises of future bless
edness either for themselves or for
others. Such promises have done
infinite mischief in the world by in
ducing men to be patient under suf
ferings or deprivations against which
they should have incessantly strug
gled. "The religion of the future will
approach the whole subject of evil
from another side, that of resistence
and prevention. The surgeon will
be one of its ministers.
"The new religion will foster a
love of truth and a passion for seek
ing it.
"The new religion will not wor
ship ancestors.
"Whether the new religion will
prove as efficient to deter men from
doing wrong and to encourage them
to do right as the prevailing religions
have been is a question which only
experience can answer. In these
two respects neither the threats nor
the promises of the older religions
have been remarkably successful In
society at large.
"The fear of hell has not proved
elective to deter men from wrong
doing, and heaven has never yet been
described in terms very attractive
to the average man or woman. Both
are indeed unimaginable.
"Finally this twentieth centurv
religion is not only to be in harmony
wiin me great secular movements
of modern society democracy. In
dlviduallsm, social idealism, the zeal
tor education, the spirit of research,
the modern tendency to welcome
the new, the fresh powers of pre
ventive medicine and the recent ad
vances In business and industrial
ethics but also in essential agree
ment with the direct, personal teach
ings of Jesus as they are reported
in the gospels. The revelation he
gave to mankind thus becomes more
wonderful than ever."
Dentistry as Applied to Trees.
State Zoologist Surface found i
letter in the mall sent to the Divis
ion of Zoology of the Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture, asking
how to prevent decay in a tree from
making further progress. The writ
said: "We have a cherry tree whose
trunk has rotted considerably,
What can be done to save the tree?
Is it a good plan to cut out the dead
part and fill up the hole with ce
ment?"
Professor Surface replied: "Tha
proper treatment for the cavity of
your cherry tree is to clean this out
removing the decayed wood; then
wash or spray the interior with an
antiseptic, such as a two per cent,
solution of formalin, or a very dilute
solution of mercury bichloride
which is corrosive sublimate; then
paint it with ordinary paint of any
kind, and finally fill the cavity with
any kind of cement, or use one part
of Portland cement with about four
or five parts of sand.
"This is practically nothing else
man the principle of modern den
tlstry applied to the preservation of
the tree. The dentist cleans out
the cavity of a decaying tooth, ap
piles an antiseptic to prevent furth
er decay, and fills the tooth with
some substance that by preservation
will prevent the possibility of fur
ther decay. We are coming to see
that the treatment of all living
wings lor ills and afflictions is bas
ed upon the same fundamental
Dioiogical principle."
flVReniember the Wayne Conn'
Billy Sunday's Preaching.
A good deal of criticism has been
heard of the methods of Billy Sun
day, the ex-baseball player, who
turned evangelist, and no doubt he
does some freakish things when
presenting the gospel. But he
draws crowds as few other preach
ers in the land can, and it is not
altogether because he is a freakish
orator, either, that the people go to
hear him. Billy can preach. If
you doubt It, just read the following
extract from one of his discourses
and then let us know If you ever
heard anyhing better in the way
of sermonizing:
"Twenty-two years ago, with the
Holy Spirit as my guide, I entered
this temple called Christianity. I
entered at the portico of Genesis,
walked down through the Old Tes
tament art gallery with the pictures
of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Isaac,
Jacob, Daniel, hanging on the wall.
I passed Into the music room of
Psalms where the spirit swept the
keyboard of nature and brought
forth the dirge like wail of the
weeping prophet Jeremiah, to the
grand impassioned strain of Isaiah,
until It seemed that every reed and
pipe in God's great organ of nature
responded to the tuneful harp of
David, the sweet singer of Israel. I
entered the chapel of Eccleslastes
where the voice of the preacher was
heard and into the conservatory of
Sharon, and the Lily of the Valley's
sweet scented spices filled and per
fumed my life. I entered the busi
ness office of Proverbs, then into
the observatory room of the prop
hets where I Baw telescopes of vari
ous sizes, some of them pointing to
far-off events; but all concentrated
upon the bright and Morning Star,
which was to rise above the moon
lit hills of Judea for our salvation.
I entered the audience room of the
King of Kings, and caught a vision
of His glory from the standpoint of
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John;
passed into the Acts of the Apostles,
where the Holy Spirit was doing his
office work in the formation of the
infant Church. Then Into the cor
respondence room where sat Mat
thew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, Pe
ter, James and Jude, penning their
epistles. I stepped Into the throne
room of Revelations, where all tow
ered into glittering peaks, and I
got a vision of the King sitting up
on his throne in all his glory, and I
cried:
'All hall the power of Jesus name,
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all!' "

How an Irish Rcferco Counted Out
a Negro.
Big Tim Sullivan tells this story
of a fight he recently saw in the East
End of London between a negro and
an Irishman, says the New York
Sun.
The referee was also of Irish birth
and when in the first rounu the ne
gro reached the Irish fighter.'s jaw
and the latter's head thumped the
boards with a crash that seemed to
preclude further contest, the follow'
ing monologue took place:
"One!" (In an undertone to his
gasping compatriot: "Come on, man,
get up out o' that. Are yez goin'
to let this black son of Ham say he
knocked yez out?")
"Two!" ("Wurrah, man, can't
yez raise yourself and listen to what
I'm tellin' you. Come on, get up!")
"Three!" ("For the sake of your
fathers that bled on many a field get
up and wipe up. the floor with this
black smoke that's grinning at
you.")
"Four!" ("An' sure, are yez
goin to He there slapln' while this
limb of the dlvll takes all the money?
Get up, I say, afore I pull you up.")
This sort of entreaty continued
until as the disgusted referee linger
ed on the final count the badly daz
ed Irish pugilist staggered to his
feet, swung wildly at the unguarded
negro and bowled him over unex
pectedly. None too quick, however,
for the ever ready referee, who
rushed over to where the negro was
fast picking himself up and pro
claimed: One-two-three-four-flve and five
is ten. You're out, you naygur."

Give tho Horse a Chance to Breathe.
A farmer, plowing with three
horses hitched abreast, noticed that
the middle horse became tired and
exhausted long before either of his
mates. As the animal was the
equal In every way of the other two,
he was puzzled as to the cause of
this horse not being able to stand
the same amount of work. He fin
ally observed, however, that as they
drew the plow along, the three
horses held their noses close togeth
er, with the result that the middle
horse was compelled to breathe the
expired air from Its fellows. The
farmer then procured a long "Joc
key" stick, which he fastened with
straps to the bits of the outside
horses. The device worked per
fectly; for, given his rightful share
of good, fresh air, the middle horse
was able to do the same amount of
work, and with no greater fatigue
than his fellows. Many persons are
like the middle horse; they do not
get their rightful share of fresh,
pure air, and this is why they are
not able to perform as much work.

overcrowd them not more than
twenty-five should be allowed in a

Ducks intended for breeding should
be separated from those intended
for market. It will be an advantage
if they can have plenty of range and
swimming water.
We cut hay into about one-inch
lengths, and pour enough hot wa
ter on it nearly to cover. Allow it
to stand over night, and feed in the
morning. Feed about three times
a week during winter.
Now is the time to fix up the hen

of wall-paper lying around the house
and paste over the cracks. It will
make the place very much warmer.

"Tho Climax" on Monday Night.
"There's nothing succeeds like
success" Is an old saying that finds
an echo in the remarkable success
attained by Joseph M. Weber's
superb novelty drama "Tho Climax,"
by Edward Locke, with Incidental
music by Joseph Carl Brell, which
will make its first bow to the local
theatre-goers at the Lyric on Mon
day, Sept. 27th. "Tho Climax"
comes with the New York stamp of
success, an endorsement which is
universally approved by the press
and public of other cities wherever
the piece has been seen this season.
There has been no other play pro
duced on Broadway In recent years,
with the possible exception of "The
Music Master," which has made such
an emphatic hit with the playgoers
of the metropolis. It is said that
a cast of capable Broadway players
will be seen in the different Interpretations.
