Mayhap your readers will tire of hearing so much of such a wellknown city as New York, but we thought best to try their patience a little further by adding another short piece to our last week's article on our Nation's Capital and Gotham. One afternoon during the revival in the Baptist church at Kingstree, we had the privilege of hearing that grandest of Anthems. "Handel's Messiah," beautifully described by Rev J J Hurt, and since then we have sincerely regretted not going to Ocean Grove, that camp-meeting ground so much enjoyed by those who go there, and we were so near. While we were in New York this summer "Handel's Messiah" was sung by one thousand trained voices, and an onlooker says that to see the great throng "walk around Jerusalem," that is,winding in and out of the numerous buildings and singing, "We are Marching to Zion," was the next thing to going to heaven. Let us go now to Bellvue hospital, which stands at the foot of Twentysixth street. It is under the control of the Departments of Cnarities and spends one hundred thousand dollars annually. As you pa?3 along the street immediately on the East river you come to the morgue, an object of gruesome interest. It is a one-story building, and in an inner room protected by a partition of glass, are the unknown dead, stretched out on marble slabs, under the drip of icy water, waiting to be identified? how very sad it all is. Another place calling forth sympathy is the school for the blind. Some ot them seemed quite happy, but to look at those children and think that they will spend their whole lives in darkness makes one more grateful for the blessing of sight. These women, boys and girls were just as busy as they could be making baskets, rugs, etc, and then learning to read in their books with raised letters. We enjoyed very much going shopping on the "East Side." These people have their wares exposed for sale on the sidewalk, and the streets are literally jammed with humanity. With fruits, calicoes, vegetables, meats,laces, shoes and all manner of things jumbled up in a strange medley, their goods are much cheaper than those in a more respectable part of the city. To stand and watch the old Polish and Russian Jews, with their long black coats, their black beards and their tall, foreign-looking hats and a long string of dried garlic around their necks, passing up and down offering their goods tor sale, was a signc lnaeea interesting. We did not attempt to go over all the grounds and buildings of Columbia University, that inscititution of higher learning which/ is one of the foremost in the United States. It began under a charter from the English crown, and covers eighteen acres of land. There arrived in the harbor of New York,shortly after we reached there, one of Germany's largest war vessels, and being anxious to visit the ship, we wrote to the German Lloyd Line officer and secured a pass, but before we could get the opportunity to go, the war cloud broke and visitors were refused admittance, much to our regret.

Scranton,October 6:?In conformity with the proclamation of the President of the United States calling on the people in their church assemblies Sunday to unite in an intercession to their God for peace in war-ridden F irope, services were held at the Baptist church that afternoon, all denominations participating. The three local fraternities, Masonic, Pythian and Junior Order U A M, united with the church in the peace service. Rev J W Truluck, pastor of the church, discoursed on the Scripture lesson which he read, Psalm XLVI, onrT ovnlninoH tVio f\f tko Peace day service, and offered a prayer for world-wide peace. The three fraternities are parts "of a civilized, Christian and Godfearing people, recognizing the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man; and recognizing that war is not in keeping with the teachings of the lowly Nazarene; and desiring peace,harmony and good will among all mankind; we, not as a body, individually, heartily unite with the church in invoking the Father, through th^, Son, that He, in His Almighty wisdom and power, cause peace to reign among the warring nations of the universe; in the interest of humanity, for His glory, prevent the further waste of energy i and human life: the Dovertv and misery which are and will result." Dr C H Fate responded for the Masons, his subject being, "My Prayer As a Mason." Mr R B Cannon responded to. "The Pythian Peace Prayer." Mr I M Gamble responded to, "Why the Junior Order Joins in This Prayer Service for Peaci\" More than a hundred of the audience pledged themselves to pray ' daily for peace, by rising at the inj vitation of the pastor.
