loved the world that lie gave his only bekot.
ten Son to die for it. He said as God loved
the world 90 much as to make go great q
sacrifice for it, that for this very reason
God never intended that the Christian relig.
ion should be limited to any one state o.
country, but that the religion of Jesus
Christ 10 to be spread to the very ends ol

dress. The DR.. called the attention of his
hearers to natures great field; he said that
every little flower by the wayside, teaches
man that there is God-just as the
little bee carries the fructifying dust from
one flower to another without knowing
1t, and gathers honey at the same time
just so we all can exert an influence while
doing life's great work. We all can do
something towards sending the blessed
word of God to the thousands who are de-
prived of its many blessings.

fifteen minutes, his remarks being appro-

tempt to describe the exercises which im-
mediately followed "The Centennial Tenn.

quate space to do It justice, and limited
description would utterly fail to present
the beautiful panorama to our readers. 1t
was something which should be seen to be
appreciated, and the bright faces and bril-
liant costumes which were presented upon
the stage surprised and delighted the lares'|
audience.
A number of musical selections followed
and after brief address by the pastor, the
audience were dismissed with the doxology.
The anniversary was more than merely
successful, it was delightful, and even those
who were compelled to stand (among them
our tardy reporter), forgot their discomfort
in the enjoyment of the occasion. The mu.
sic, under the direction of Professor Rhodes
was an especial feature of the evening. The
