tho town, and if tho time ever comes
that tho town will support a dally pa
per it is far from that mark yet The
Star will bo ready to apcar daily.
On account of the proposed enlargement
of The Star plant our present location
is too small and, hence, wo are com
pelled to engage in tho unpleasant task
of moving.
It will require considerable money to
enlarge The Star plant and make the
improvements on the paper that we
hope to do, and it would bo a great ac
commodation to us if thoso who are in
arrears for subscription would square
their accounts. It may be a small mat
tor with each subscriber but whore there
are so many small accounts it amounts
to considerable to us.
Methodist Revival.
Tho revival in the Methodist Episco
pal church in this place began six
weeks ago last Sunday evening and Dr.
C. C. Rumbergor, the pastor, fully in
tended closing the meetings last Sun
day evening, but there were eight
ponitents at the altar of prayer and
such an Interest manifested that the
pastor thought it would not be wise to
close the meetings, and they are still
in progress. Two hundred and forty
have bowed at the altar since the meet
ings began. Some of these were mem
bers of the M. E. church who bad
become "backsliders," others were mem
bers of other churches, but the ma
(orlty of them are making the first start
in the ohrlstian life. It bos been a
wonderful revival. Besldos the scores
that have been at the altar, many indif
ferent and luke-warm members of the
church have been awakened from tboir
lethargy and are now ready to buckle
on tho "armor" and do their duty.
Although Dr. Rumberger has only
been pastor of this church five months,
yet the, church 'Is in better condition,
In all departments, than it it baa been
for years. He seems to be well liked by
the membership of the church.

A Plain Matter.
In its last issue the Volunker dilated
with much pleasure upon the fact that
the citizens of Reynnldsvllle are never
backward when it comes to raising
money for tho benefit of the town, from
a business and industrial point of view,
montloning the big sura (150,000) raised
for tho silk mill In almost no time; I
think the Volunteer is about right, es
pecially if tho $50,000 raise is a fact. But
why is it that when these same citizens
are asked for something to- benefit the
spiritual side of the town, they become
so stiff and paralyzed In their upper
limbs that tbey cannot thrust their
hands down Into their pockets or write
a check, so that they have to be doc
tored with somo kind of an entertain
ment, before they can undo their purse
strings ?
Those 950,000 raised so willingly and
promptly are .sufficient proof of the fact
that when ono has a real, downright
interest in a good cause ox object, he
will not be backward in giving of bis
means toward Its support and, judging
from this principle, there would seem

parts of our improving town; for I per

Are we so spiritually poor, after all,
that what we owe to God must be
bought from us? Wonders! Whoever
heard of a man selling his debt to his
creditors, and yet that is just what

fact that these novel methods of getting
the Lord's money are' simply a substi

had better be dropped, tor what Is not a
work of grace can never please God. Of
course some can uever agree with the
writer, but then, they never yet proved
their side. Too bad, isn't It?
