A. C\'estootl. - Circ. (Tuff and \Miss Sarabel Daley, { and the solo in the evening "Abide With Me," by Mr. W. H. Willis, of p \\inghant, attd son of Mrs. Robert Willis, of town, Two exceedingly interesting set k mons were preached by Mr. Holmes, t whose personality is inspirational. t Though nota young man, he .has all h the physique and mental vigor of ra yotitlt and his optimistic view of life appeals to the young as well as car- t ries force with the old. His sermon in 3 the evening was on "What has God a Wrought:" and his treatment of t111 ;1 subject was original. The speaker T dealt with the by-products of religion !a to illustrate -the text. He showed that music was a by-product of religion. la The great oratorios were the outcome I of the life the composer. In passing he to said it was a reflection on the mater- ,v ialistic present age that it had given K no great musical compositions to the h world. Men were too busy making of money to provide music. Architect- to ore was another by-product. In bean- s tiful language the elevating nature of w• the Gothic t o c s iof Style archil clue was • yc r va T portrayed. Itspointed spire , re ere( »e p td su high over surrounding buildings was io a finger pointing upward to heaven. S Man was distinguished from the beast ri by the ease with which he could look B u an the h mana e at who kept his s N e. A P, y t 110 the ground was degenerating to the T lover animals, Literature was an- to other by-product of religion. The he mushy style of the literature of to -day tis wascondemnedas a type of the rens K Bion -prevalent. In this respect, the \, speaker paid a high tribute to the an newspapers of the age. They were steadily improving and in every place h the newspaper was on the right side G upholding what was good. These'by- products God had wrought en the L world through the life of Christ, an The fowl supper served by tate ladies on Monday night attracted a Gr large crowd. The proceeds of the an- H niversary were over $560. EUCHRE AND DANCE.
