MOV 2 8 2903 n Pear no man, and do justice to all men." Vol. I. SEWICKLEY, PA., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1903. No. 11. 5 TO A Purpose—A Prophecy And A Possibility. HER GUP IS NOT YET FULL. [We give a synopsis of the sermon delivered at-the union service in the M. E. Church, Sewickley, on Thanksgiving Day, by Rev. E. M. Milligan, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church.] Psalm 9:17 '/The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forgitGod." It is. customary to hold up for admiration the gold, greatness and glory which are the proud possessions of our Nation, and, in contemplation of these things that entitle us to claim a chief place among foremost nations of the world, to find oause for thanksgiving on these occasions. But to-day, as the text suggests, we will follow a different line of thought; one possibly not so pleasing, but a truth, which we trust, will be profitable ; and, since, we have thus far escaped the doom threatened, it is a truth that should awaken in us a thankful spirit. Surely God's mercy, not less than his goodness, is cause for thanksgiving. And, in view of many evidences of our national forgetfulness of< that God who hath made and preserved us a nation, we are the more greatly indebted to Divine mercy that still affords us the blessings of prosperity, instead of visiting us in wrath, which, as Scripture declares, would result in our destruction. I am glad to believe the, evil threatened is not what this version of Scripture leads some to conclude, The men who supplied this translation were confident that wicked men went to hell, and they thought it proper that nations which forget God should go there also; hence they so rendered this Scripture. But for nations there is no hell in the commonly understood meaning of that word. Every man must appear before God to answer for himself, and receive according to the deeds done in his body, and, after judgment has been thus passed on each i person separately, there certainly will j be no nations left, either to reward or | to punish. GOD S WARNING TO AMERICA. » It reminds of a purpose of God in regard to all nations that forget Him. When we remember that the God of Heaven, by his Son Jesus Christ, created all things ; that he is the only lawful Proprietor of the earth, and of all creatures and things it contains, then we will recognize God's right to be acknowledged and held in reverence by all rational beings, both severally and in their national organizations. That God has been . pleased, for wise reasons, to permit Satan to usurp the dominion, and, for a time, to exercise sovereignty over the earth as its prince and ruler ; and, within certain limits, to control the affairs of those men and nations who, as free moral agents, choose to follow the devil in his rebellion against God— the fact that God permits this state of affairs for the present, and allows man the full exercise of his freedom to do (Continued on Page 8.) Buried in Sewickley. Miss Laura Stoughton, a former resident of Sewickley, who had a large circle of friends and acquaintances in the valley, died on the 13th inst. at Grand Rapids, Mich. In honor to1 a request made by the deceased, to her only sister, Mrs. Pease, of Chicago, that her remains be laid to rest in the Sewickley cemetery, where her parents are interred, the latter accompanied the remains to this place. Miss Stoughton was thirty-one years of age, and had been in declining health .for some time. The services were held on Monday at 10 a. m at tne mortuary of Mr. Marlatt, from whence the funeral cortege proceeded to Sewickley cemetery. Among the relatives of the deceased who re" side here are Mrs. Wesley Hill, Messrs. William, Bert and Philip Emmert. Mrs. Pease had" been attendant upon her sisten prior to her death, and showing the true loving spirit of a sister, unfalteringly undertook to carry out the wish of Miss Stoughton, by accompanying th© remains to this place. THE TRIEIIAL E Commissioners and Ward Assessors Meet in Joint Session. TO EQUALIZE TAXATION. At a recent meeting of the Sewickley Council a resolution was passed creating a commission of four persons to act in conjunction with the Assessors, Mr. James Buckley, of the First ward, and Mr. John Gaston, of the Second ward, and assist them in making out the regular triennial assessment which the assessors are now working on. The object sought in appointing tiiis commission was to secure a more just and equitable valuation of property in the two wards. There were a number of discrepancies on the valuation in the parallel properties claimed to have been made in the previous assessments—some were too high, others too low—and in order to remedy this inequality, and also in answer to the request of the petitioners, Mr. Jas. C. Chaplin, president of the Council, named a commission of four men, who are well fitted to perform the duties assigined to them, as the personnel of the commission will show. They are: , Mr. W. J. Turner, real estate broker, who is thoroughly conversant with property values: Mr. Gilbert Stuck, who for many years has been the efficient president of the Sewickley Building and Loan Association; Mr. Dan S. Frazer, the well-known contractor, who is well versed in building trades matters, and Mr. Robert McFarland, a conservative and enterprising business man of the First ward. Pursuant to a call, they met in executive session in the Council chamber on Friday evening, November 20, at 7:30 o'clock, and after some preliminary arrangements, proceeded to the business in hand. Many varying expressions of opinion were given by the members present, and much good was derived from this interchange of views. A line of procedure was mapped out, and adjournment was taken until Monday evening, November 23, at the same place. The commission met on Monday and also on Wednesday evenings, and proceeded with the work in hand' and the work is progressing satisfactorily. Police News. On Sunday afternoon, November 22, Mr. Washington Rice, a gentleman of cclor, who had stored away under his jacket too much of the wet goods brought into our borough on the A. M. train, the night previous became quite boisterous and disorderly, and proceeded to do the "rough-house" act at his stopping place, Centennial avenue and Little alley, but the spectators did not appreciate Mr. Washington's efforts as an entertainer. The curtain was rung down when Mr. Bomler, also colored, of the same address, summoned Chief of Police W. H. Hart, who locked the offending drunk and disorderly specialist up. At a little rehearsal held by Squire Johnston the box office receipts netted the borough $10, On Monday, November 23, John Hummert, who is employed by a well- imown family of Glen Osborne, was arrested by Chief Hart, on information made by Mr. Charles Buchs, who is also employed by a prominent gentleman of Glen Osborne, charging the defendant with assault and .battery. The case was settled by Hummert paying the costs and agreeing not to molest Mr. Buchs in the future. There was an interesting hearing held in Justice of the Peace Nathan Buckley's office at Edgeworth, on Tuesday evening, November 17th, when seven young men of that section of the valley, whose ages range from 15 to 23 years, were brought up for a hearing. The offenders are all well known in the community, They were arrested on a writ of capias for trespass. The penalty was a line of ?5,67 for each offender.
