Joim Ewing Read the Bible With Us Daily And there came two angels to Sodom at ereiu and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and be bowed himself with his face toward the groand; And he said. Behold now, my lords, tarn in, 1 pray you, into yow servant's house, and tarry all nifht, aad wash and ye shall rise np early, and go on your ways; And they said, Nay: but we wiU abide in the street all night.

The Sabbath School of the German Reformed church in this place will have a woods celebration on Saturday next. On- the same day there is to be a grand pic-nic near Centre Mills, which, it is thought be largely attended. The Bendersville Band, will be there. The Ladies of the Marsh-creek i presented their pastor, Rev. Mr.

Warner, a few diys ago, Fifty Dollars as a token of their kindly regard. These evidences of esteem are very gratifying the Gas in Gettysburg It gives us great pleasure to announce that Gas in Gettysburg is a "fixed fact." On Saturday last, the gas was let into the main pipes, and in the evening was thrown into the house pipes, and as twilight appeared, all -lighted up, and in a few minutes the brilliant silvery flame flashed upon the eye. It was' a complete success. The light was beautiful, and delighted every beholder. We have rarely seen more excitement, and our streets were crowded for sevearl hours.

A splendid bonfire in the Square, which was lonj kept up, added to the interest of the scene--and the whole affair was one of mgh gratification It is but a few months since the matter was agitated, but four months naice contracted for, and -we have now Gas-work completed, and the beautiful light in our habitations. This shows the energy of those who had the direction of the Company, and the active businesslike qualifications of the Contractor. Mr. Helme, and his able assistants Every thing is admirably executed, and to the complete satisfaction of the Company. The Borough authorities have determined to erect fifteen gas- posts to light the streets and Mr.

Kelme contracted to furnish the same immediately, and will have them up in a few days. Four ere to be on Center Square and on; at each cross street through the town. Those on the Square will 02 placed on four of the eight corners alternatelr The evening was closed -with very hanlsoxne entertainment given to a large number of our citizens by Mr. Helme. at the Eagle Hotel, winch passed off very pteas- anUy.

We were not present but learn that a number of interesting and addresses were delivered the occasion. Thus has another great work or improvement been compacted or ysJnrrg.

Today's Talk -By George Matthew Adams- A GROWING VISION PEACHES Now picking Belle of Georgia.

Elberta and J. H. Hale later. Kline's Orchard north of just off Munjjnasbunj road. IJOW many of us have held in mind the town of our birth, or earl; and Imagined it to be incomparable.

Then, suddenly, we have resolved to visit it and to live again the scenes of our childhood. And so we visit the place. Behold! Nothing Is the same, even though few changes have been wrought. New faces, new stores, improved streets, yes--but practically all the same as we recall. Nevertheless we are disappointed.

Our life and our vision, has enlarged. The little town looks smaller than we ei- pccted It to be. We go back to our present home disillusioned! It's a. good sign to "be disappointed 'thus. Many of the books which we read in our early years, when now read, seem tame and dull, and we wonder how we became so enthusiastic over them then.

It is easy to explain. Our vision, our mind, grows with the years. If we do not progress and desire larger visions and wider fields, we stand still and rust with the years. Every time we listen to a symphony, every time we hear the song a bird, every time we walk out into God's great natural world, these things should become more alive and real to us. No matter how many trees I may be privileged to see, every tree will forever have an interee lor me.

And every inhabitant of the world will share with me the love of the good earth, the sunshine, the sky's vast expanse of stars, the winds, the shadows, the voices from a thousand quarters that talk a language to me. We know that we have a growing vision when the small and immaterial affairs and things of life appear puny and unimportant, as compared to those of larger moment and interest. I wish that I might fathom the thoughts of a dog as he wags his tail and locks steadily, questioning God atone knows what, a he listens to my speech. This we all know--this faithful friend responds to every cindness ard questions his life as of any avail, should we demand or seem to invite his protection. His vision is only for food and to render service to his master.

Ours is to search the earth for ideas and to con- through an enlarged vision. I know that a love for all clears the vision and knits one, like a kinsman, to all the world, Rich Creamy Cheese Ib ASCO Beans 6 5c ns 25c With Pork Reg. 15c Light Meat Tuna Fish 3 PennS.
