The principal gos| el tneSi-ane
guen to the attentive audience
on Wednesday night, by Maj.
Keith, brought before the people
the important (pies ion, from
Kings 18: 21, "How long halt
ye between two opinions?" The
Holy Spirit drove the question
homo to muiy heaits, ami atier
pondeiing the solemn (piestion,
many were brought under conviction.
After the congregation I
had been di-missed. a very pro
minent young man of the lown
remained. General Light and
one oi his Lieut orients talked
with him and instructed him how
to find pea<e to It is weary, sinburdened
soul. They knell in
prayer with him at the altar, and
though he was not fully satisfied
when he arose from the altar, he
said that lie had received a great
blessing.
The young man had previously
remarked, '! would give ten
years of my life to feel for fivel
minutes r.s happy as General J
Light leels," but when lie fell the)
love of God sued abroad in his,
own heart, he exclaimed, "I

he received the evidence that his ains
were forgiven, and that he
had been adopted into uThe royal
family of God," he went for joy,
and then in the power of God,
spoke thus :?" Verily, I now bo (

The Graded Schools.
Report of Supt. Banks on the
Work of the Past Session.
?The Honor Roll.
The 13th. annual session I
of the Lancaster Graded !
Schools began Sept. 4th. 1905,
and ended May 18th. 1906. This
lias probably been the best year j
in its history, in several respects; |
first, the enrollment has exceeded
that of any previous year,
and this is true also of the average
attendance; second, there
has been very little serious
sickness; third, the character of
t he work done has lieen thorough,
and the standard has been ad
vanced in keeping with thatol
other correlated schools; tourth,
the diligence, fidelity to duty and
harmony of action in the corps of
teacher* has been noteworthy;
fifth, though there were epidemic*
o< niea e's and sindlpox
md a large number ot the children
were vaccinated, yet thos>thingsdid
not seriously allec' 1

Special attention is called fo
the names of those pupils which
appear on the ' Honor Roll" un
Ider the head of "Attendance".
It is a source o! rer el that there
are so few; hut when we con-ider
the fact that we pi e! through
two epi h mics, tlos is a good
showing, and t lies" put Is deserve
