DOING A GREAT WORK. PEkS JNAL. PARAQRAPH5. Subscription tl.OOpcr year in advance. C. A.STKPHKNSON, Editor and Pub. WEDNESDA1 . FEBRUARY 27, 1907, A bill has bean introduced in the legislature which (urbida the manu facture and said of cigarettes in this stata It is to be hoped that the bill will pass and become a law and remove the desdly cigarette from the boys of this commonwealth. According to newspaper reports it looks now as if the Franklin & Clear field railroad would be built from Brookville to Clearfield via Aliens Mills, but that is only newspaper talk. We have not the least doubt jot, present indications to the contrary, but that the new railroad will be built through Reynoldsvllle. It is the shortest, easiest grade and best route, and that has a big influence in de termining the route for a railroad. Following is given as a good recipe for making a good town: Orlt, vim, push, snap, energy, schools, moralltyi churches, harmony, cordiality, adver tising, talk about it, write about It, and speak well of It, healthy location, good water supply, patronize Its home mer chants, honest competition in prices, faith exhibited by good works, make the atmosphere healthy, fine all croak ers, loafers and deadbeats. Let your object be the welfare, growth and pro motion of your town and its people. Speak well of the public-spirited men, fend be one of them. The Pittsburg Catholic, in speaking of the proper observance of the Sabbath ays: . -"The movement among ui to se cure rest for the workmen should re ceive, the most willing and hear lest support. A nation becomes brutalized fai paganized whose subjects are de prived of the Christian's rest on the Lord's Day. tt is not only a divine pre cept but it is the hlghtest wisdom, even from the merely civilised point of view, Doubtless some work is necessary and may not be avoided, but there is no denying the patent fact that we are fast turning our Sunday Into a day of general labor. Let the proper reme dies be applied." Country life, says an exchange, has its drawbacks, but it has its great advantages which overcome them. True, those who live in the country are "rubes" and "farmers" and "hay seed" to the cigarette smokers in town, but the boast of the business men in the world toCay is that they were born on a farm. Take away the surrounding evils that beset the young men or woman on the threshold of life's jour ney in the city, and substitute the help ful influence of nature, and you fortify then for the sterner walks in life. No boy or girl need be ashamed of living on the farm, for if they have taken ad vantage of what It has offered they are well fortified for after life. . It seems hardly creditable that a paasengor train running 80 miles an hour could jump the track, three Pullman cars roll over and over down a steep embankment onto the ioe in the river and not one of fifty-four passenger be killed or fatally Injured, and yet that is what happened at Mineral Point, near Johnstown, between 12.00 and 1.00 last' Friday night when the Pennsylvania 18-hour flyer between New York City and Chicago was wrecked. The Paltman cars were powerfully constructed and the sides, roofs and floorings remained in tact or the result of the accident would have been appalling. It is marvelous Indeed that the passengers escaped as they did. The vote in Punxsutawney and LIndsey on the 19th Inst, for consolidat ing the two boroughs into one munici palityGreater Punxsutawney result ed In a victory for consolidation by a large majority. Steps will be taken immediately to secure a charter. . It was the proper thing to i, as it is all one town anyhow. This will give Punxsu tawney a population of about 10,600. Reynoldsvllle and West Reynoldsvllle boroughs should consolidate into one municipality. As in the case of Punxs'y and LIndsey, it U all one town, and should be incorporated into one borough. Why not? The columns of The Star are open for opinions from citizens of either borough on the proposition bf consolidation. Don't be a grumbler, says an ex change. Some people contrive to get hold of the prickly side of everything; to run up against the sharp corners, and' find out all the disagreeable things. Half the .strength spent in growling would often set things right. You nay as well make up yeur Hind, to begin rlth, no one ever found the world as he would like it; but you are to take your share of the troubles, and bear them bravely. You will be very sure to have troubles laid upon you that belong to other people, unless you are a shirk yourself, but don't grumble. If the work needs doing, and you can do it, never mind about the other person who ought to have' done it and didn't. Those workers who fill up the gaps, and smooth away the rough spots, and Asian up the job others left undone, hey are the true peacemakers, and worth a whole lot of growlers. Missionary Activities of American Sun day School Union for Past 28 Months. The following la a brief summary of twenty-eight mouth work of the American Sunday School Union in this section: Sunday schools organized J 3, with 5811 teacher and scholars; Sunday schools visited or otherwise aided 59, with 8,625 teachers and scholars; visit ed at homes 1,502; miles traveled 10, 230; distributed 347 Bibles and 4(8 Testaments; professed converslons'lUN; amount of sales from periodicals, hooka. Bibles and Testaments, $275 57. Tn the various communities the neigh boring pastors have been good to assist in ihls work, some of the schools are having regular preaching, and others have preaching a part of the time. To the average reader these cold facts and figures do not mean much, but re member that many young lives are being Influenced for a useful career, and the only religious paper found in a great many of these homes, la the one the children get at Sunday school. On December 30th, 1900, we dedicated, free of debt, the Haywood Memorial M. E. church at Wiahaw, which Is an out growth of one Sunday school. To all friends of the American S. S. Union, I might say, I prefer to call these your schools and work, for another could take my place but not unless the work is supported. T. G. Godwin, Missionary. Brookville, Pa., Feb. 15, 1907.
