Next Tuesday Is election day, and , every loyal citizen of the boroughs and townships should make it a point to go to tho polls and vote for the best men, regardless of polities. If your party has nominated (food, trustworthy men then vote tho straight ticket, but don't vote tho ticket simply because Its your party ticket. When it comes to munici pal or township ofllces. politics should not stand In the way of a voter casting his ballot for tho candidate whom he knows Is tho best fitted for tho ofllco to bo filled. In tho Stato or National elections the voters huvo to depend al most entirely on what others say of the candidates seeking offices, and aro gov erned by the political complexion of the candidate, but at tho February election for home government it is not so, every andlduto Is known personally by tho voters. By electing the best men from tho tickets placed in nomination the political parties aro forced to put up the best men tho party affords, bo causo thoy know that tho people are not as likely to stick to jiarty for municl pal or township offices as they are to vote for the best men in tho Hold. The next generation of Ponnsylva nians will not be nearly so much in dined to drink as tho present one, Any one who hears school boys talk about the effect of alcohol and tobacco 'upon tho human system, and discuss the losHons In temperance learned from their text books or physiology and hy glene, can see that theso Btudios are fortifying their mind against lntompor ance and Immoderation. When boys come to be convinced that temporanco la eating and drinking Is tho real puna--cca for the ills of tills lifo, that It keeps the head oloar, the digostion good, the 'blood pui-e and the nervos strong, they unust be desperate fools If they will plunpo Into tho follies of excess. Punx sutawney Spirit. It is to be hoped that the sago of the Spirit reasons correctly, but there Is room for doubt. One of th most successful wayB of teaching is by object lessons, and yot tho drink habit goes on and drunkards' graves are bo ing filled dally by victims who have seen others wrecked on the rocks of in temperance. So long as liquor is sold there will bo boys raised up to fill the places of the miserable wretches who dally die from the ranks of tho intem perate. Saloons cannot be run without boys no more than a saw mill can be run without logs. Tho bolter way would bo to remove the temptation. It was stated a few years ago that tho people of Roynoldsvillo did not care for lectures, but that assertion cannot be truthfully made to-day. All that was necessary to prove that our pooplo could appreciate a good lecture wag to give thero an opportunity to hear ono. Five years ago the Keynoldsvlllo Lec ture Association gave tho people three or four good lectures and the following year the same Association booked four good lectures and the people patronized them to the extent that the Association was able to pay all expenses. This is the second course the public school hag given, under the able management of Prof. G. W. Lenkerd, and tho people have patronized them sufficiently to pay all expenses. Our people enjoy the lec tures go thoroughly that they will here after expect a course every year. We doubt if the lecturers find more appreciative audiences anywhere else than they do In Reynoldsvllle, and let it be said here and now that our pooplo ' can appreciate a good solid lecture as well as a humorous one. This year thero was more humor than anything else. The leotures.however.were all good with the exception of Kit Forking. Tbo tickets were extremoly cheap this year, 1.00 for the five lectures. We believe that just as many tiokets could be sold at $1.50 and that would give the publto school tab privilege of getting higher priced men on theoourse next year. What Is a Christian? "Christ did not come to cramp any one's manhood: He came to broaden It," writes tho Hev. John Watson, D. D. "Ian MeClarcn"), on "A Young Man's Itellglous lilfo," In tho AwIiW Home Jimrnnt. "Ho did not notno to destroy our manhood; Ho camo to fulfill It. A thoroughgoing Christian Is a man with a stronger reason, kinder heart, llrmor will, and richer Imagination than his fellows, one who has attained to his height In Christ. A bigot, or a prig, or a weakling is a nail-uevoinpeu Christian, one not yet arrived at full age. What ought a Christian to read? Every book which feeds tho Intellect. Whero ought he to go? Every plneo where tho moral atmosphere 4s pure and bracing. What, ought ho to do? Everything that will make character. Religion is not negative, a giving up his and that, hut positive, a getting and a possessing. If a man will be con tent with nothing but the best thought, best work, best friends, best environ ment, ho need not trouble about avoiding the worst. The good drives out the bad. Thero are two ways of lighting a dark room: one is to attack me oarKtiess with cnndles; The other Is to open tho shutters and let in the light. When light comes, darkness goes. Thero are two ways of forming character: one to coiKiuer our sins, the other Is to cultivate the opposite virtues. Tho latter plan Is best because it Is surest tho virtuo replaces the sin. "Christianity is not a drill: It is llf. full, free, radiant and rejoicing. What man should do Is not to vex, himself about Ills imperfections, hut to fix his mind on tho bright Imago of Perfection; not to weary his soul with rules, but to live with Christ as ono livcth with friend. There Is one way to complete manhood, and that Is, fellowship with Jesus Christ." District Institute. A district Institute will ho held in M. E. church at Hathtnel on Saturday, February .flth.
