iVAZARE.XE CRUSHED
IN AN ELEVATOR.
John L. Groh, of Nazareth, was ti'- tally injured in the freight elevator at Laubach's store, Easton, late on Saturday afternoon last. Groh was 57 years old and had been employed at the store for the past flve or six weeks, working part of the time in the shipping department, the balance of his time being spent assembling toys for the holiday trade.
Contrary to the rules of the store, Groh attempted to jump on the ele¬ vator after it had been started, and was caught between the gate and the floor and crushed. Dr. E. M. Green was hurriedly summoned and arrived in time to give the unfortunate man first aid treatment. He was dead when the ambulance arrived at the hospital.
Recently an agent of the Travellers' Insurance Compi'ny inspected the gate on the elevator and pronounced It in good working order and Its com- Btructlon in conformity to the regu¬ lation ot the state factory Inspector's offlce. The rujes of the store forbid anyone entering or attempting to en¬ ter the elevator after It has been started. This rule, eyewitnesses ot the accident say, Oroh disregarded.
Immediately atter tbe accident, Fred Laubach and Christopher Kra'use went to Nazaretb to acquaint Groh's wife of the mishap and it was not until they had telephoned the hospital trom that place tbat they knew the unfortunate man had died.
He was born In Marlon township, Lebanon Co., a son ot the late Mr. and Mrs. Michael Groh. He moved to Naznteth with his family sizteen years ago. For a time he was em¬ ployed by the Nazareth Foundry & Machine Co. Besides his widow he Is surrvived by three children, Mrs Milton Getz, of Nazareth; Mrs. How¬ ard Klipple, of Easton, and oJhn Groh, Jr., of Philadelphia.
Funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon at his late home. Rev. P. S. Meinert, offlciated. Inter¬ ment was made in Greenwood Ceme¬ tery, Nazareth.

Meanwhile it is plain tbat the gov¬ ernment anticipates trouble, for the following appt'iil for n citizens' army to meet the crisis was Issued :
"Tn the opinion of his majesty's gov¬ ernment, tbe circumstances of Ihe pres¬ ent crisis are such that special meas¬ ures should be taken to secure the lib¬ erty of nil peaceable citizens and pro¬ tect tl(fm in the pursuit of their ordi¬ nary work and of special work under¬ taken to maintain the supply of food and other necessaries of the commu¬ nity.
"Members of regular police force* and existing small forces of special constabulary are Insufficient for this purpose. The government therefore Invites all the lords lieutenants, lord mayors, mayors, clialrmen of county councils, chairmen of standing Joint committees and watch committees and chief constables, town clerks and oth¬ er local ofllcers to take steps for the formation in all counties, cities and boroughs of citizen guards to act In co-operation with the police In the duty of protection and the maintenance of order."
Evidences of the dangerous spirit among the strikers are afforded by further acts of sabotage and attempt¬ ed train wrecking. At Swindon, the most Importnnt Junction of the Great
We doubt whether Schoeneck ever had a  more inspiring congregational festival than it  had on Sunday, Oct. 5, the 157th anniversary ot its found¬ ing.     In the morning the attenda'nce at. Sunday-school was 100.     Superin¬ tendent Trein  had  succeeded  in get¬ ting W. 1). Seyfried, of Beth||hem, a former pupil of the school    to    give some  remeniscencies  of  the  Schoen¬ eck  Sunday-school  of   40   years  ago. His talk was most interesting and e;: couriiging.      Schoeneck    has    made many changes but they have all been tor the better.     The boys ot the past were much the same' as the boys or the  present.     Some  had  to  be  chas¬ tised  for  having    "high     jinks"     at i lhurch;   others only  came to churcb lat night, not to hear    the    minisie.', but to see some fair    maiden    safely I home.     One  class   got   their  teacher ! so rattled that she told them tha*. Lo'. [ w-as turned into a pillar of sand. Tliat I class   never   forgot  the story   ot   Lot. I Some  who  were pupils    then,     hav; j since become lawyers, doctors, preacii 'ors,   successful   business   men;   s'jmo •also have brought sorrow    to    thei.- I parents, and to the Christian workers jof the church.     A large congregalio.i iaretted Dr. Thaeler,    who    preaclied | ' one  of  his  soul stirring  sermons on | ] the     tlienie,     "God's gift  of freedom ; und energy to carry on bis work."        j Among the striking thoughts that i he  brouglit  out   was   this  experience ] failure of  the prime minister i from his many years as a pastor. You j P.ritiiin   faces   the i may clear away a' man's intellectual difficulties about religion, but it will be of very litlle help toward his com¬ ing to Christ.     Often   these   difficul¬ ties are only a comouflage seeking for an  excuse not  to  consecrate  himseli and his lite to the Saviour.
At the love feast in the afternoon, every seat was occupied. Rev. Mein¬ ert brought the cordial greetings of the Nazareth Church and laid special emphasis on the truth that thi chucrhes need more than names on the church rolls, converted and con secrated men and women. Rev. Bahnson spoke of the blessedness we may have In abiding with Christ and having him berak for us the bread of life, as the loved pastor ot the con¬ gregation tor many years, he kind added, to the delight ot many, a few wordp In German.
Again at the communion the pews were fllied! Mrs. C. Crush, Cherry Hill was received by letter. All went home feeling that the prospects of the Schoeneck Church are very bright for the Larger Life Campaign and the Sunday-school Rally of Sunday Oct 19.
It had been suggested that the church should raise $157 to reduce the principal of the debt. During the day all contributions went over the top. The Sunday-school donated $25; the Sisters' Union $'100; th.- ¦i'oung Ladies' Bible Class $10. The Ushers and the C. E. are yet to be heard from.

"The nation cannot stand another such week," he declared. Futile ef¬ forts to effect a settlement, he assert¬ ed, were the result of the govemment'a demand for unconditional surrender.
"We are asked to surrender when there has never been a Juster or more unanimous strike In the history of the world," he went on. "Our case waa heard by representatives of all the British trades unions and these men unanimously support our claims as ab¬ solutely Just
"It means that flve millions of Brit¬ ish workers are behind us. I have tried to prevent other unions from striking In our support and am still successfully doing so. I have done everything possible to prevent the sprend of the strike, for no man knows better thnn I do how near we are to revolution.

There were some Innovations in the services of the day. A portion of the litany was chanted and the choir chanted the whole of the Te Deum Laudamus. In the commun¬ ion two fair haired little children, sat on the empty seats in front of their parents and as they uietly and rever¬ ently watched the service, we may hope that the Good Shepherd also took them In his arms and gave them his blessing.

It is also legal for physicians to pre¬ scribe intoxicating liiiuor to persons they may be called upon to attend without flrst submitting the patient to a thorougli physical examination. Under the biil as passed by the house a physician called to attend a man run over by a train and near the point of death would be liable to a Jail sen¬ tence if lie administered a stimulaut before making an ezamination.
The bill also allows one to retain In his home tree from danger of seiz¬ ure liquor secured before the law be¬ came effective. It will not be neces¬ sary to report such stocks to the In¬ ternal Revenue Department and for the purposes ot the act apartments and hotel rooms used as residences are defined as homes. Liquor held in homes will not hnve to be reported as "stocks on hnnd."

IIALLY OF THE COU.NTY 8. 8.
OF THK NAZ.4BETH DISTBIOT.
The annual rally of the Nazareth District of the Northampton County S S. Association, was held at the Dryland Church, Hecktown, on Fri¬ day evening, Oct. 3.
There are 16 schools In the district aud some 250 people were present at the rally. Eugene Trelu is president of the Association and had charge of tbe meeting.
Besides tbe usual religious exercis. es, there were recitations, solos, a chorus by the choir, and a quartette from the male choir.
Robert Laramy, superintendent of the Easton schools, was the speaker of the evening.
Ho expressed bis pleasure in being al a meeting where so many different churches were rallying    together    to forward the cause of Christ, and were singing from the heart, "Blest be the Tie that Binds."     There 'A'as at pres¬ ent among the churches a feeling that Ihings were not as they ought to be. Peoplo uo longer felt that they were under    any    obligation to attend the services of the church.    With ma'ny it    was    a    matter    of    indifference , whether they went or not. i      Owing  to  this  lack  of  interest  in jthe church  iu  the  work  of the Sun- 1 day-school, some    felt    discouraged. ' V\'e can all be optimistic    when    we realize  what  we have to support  ua. The man who travels for a business house,    that    has large resources, a great trade, a good reputation, goes confident ot his success.     If we have faith in God, if we believe that he has the power to bring things to pass; he has the love to bless and be with his people, when they work for him,  we can be sure that    the    work    of   the church must in the end prevail.  The work    of    Christ is not easy, it does not always show wonderful results in a  moment.    He has said, The word that    goeth    forth out of my mouth shall not return, unto me void.     In. stead of the thorn shall come up the flr tree, instead of the    brier    shall come up the myrtle tree.
When we see a large number of men supporting a course we teel as¬ sured of its success. When as on oc¬ casions like this, we gather the Sun- day.BChool forces together, we can see no reason tor discouragement.
The Sunday-school is more import- a'nt than the publi cschool. Intelli. getice, mental training la not suffic¬ ient. There mu«t be the training c the heart that makes men good men. Religion is greater than reason, be¬ cause it is beyond reason. By faith It lays hold on the power that is be¬ yond.
The work of the Sunday-school should be as good aB possible. Teach¬ ers have only half an hour to influ¬ ence their pupils. If this is wasted in talking of things that are unim¬ portant, of things that do not touch the soul, parents lose interest in the work, and make no effort to send their children to the Sunady-school.
It is important that there should be the best of teachers. Those who teach in the public schools have the training and experience that make them particularly valuable. Some of the most faithful, consientious teach¬ ers in the public schools are those who are also engaged in Sunday. school work.
Let it not be our aim to get mem¬ bers, to do spectular work, but to do such true, faithful, and earnest work that people will wish to be in the Sunday-school and will come, anA bring others with them.
We should strive to get the oldftr people into the school, because they will not only be beneflted themselves, but they will influence the younger people. The boy want* to do what pap does, the little girl Is anxious t« imitate her older sister. There ia every reason yhy those of the agea from 15 to 25 years should go to th* school. They get in touch with that which la highest and best; they gat the will and the power to kill tne base Instincts of life; they get an In¬ spiration to live for those things that are true, pure, and albidlng.
Mr. Stewart, of South Bethlehem, then spoke on Service. Christian service is doing Christlike things for others. The call may be expressed in three words, Go, Do Good! It is a call to duty, to sacrifice, to action. How imperative that call is to each Christian worker can be seen, when we learn that there are 160,000 chil¬ dren In the country, in NO Sunday- school. At present 41,000 childrea are pupils of 192 Sunday-schools la Northampton County.
