What Rev. A. II. Stephens Had to
Say to the Young Ladies' Of
Sedalia Last Night.

On account OF the Indictment state oi the
weather, the attendance at the Cumberland
Presbyterian church last night wac no,
what 1t should have been, considering the
interesting nature of the sermon, which
WAS pronounced In Mr.. Stephens we'll
known earnest and convincing manner
The only objectionable thing abou, the
sermon was that 1T was much too short
The following is brief outline Of Mr.
Stephens remarks:
Favor is deeeitiul and beauty liz vain"
such WAS the apt text chosen by Mr..
stephens. He said he believed in this
thing OF working Tor glGfy. lie liked 10
see young man struggling ahead trying
To make a name for himself If man did
we'll and performed his part to the utmost,
glory would come soon enough. Ii man
deserved 1T there would be No trouble In
securing glory. Ii would be- thrust upon
him. and he could not hel p himself Mr.
Stephens said: You often hear that thi.
man OF that man is working only ior
glory, and that ministers and others care
only for the glory they are endeavoring L.
achieve. But II q man works straigh,
ahead unmlndful OF who he pleases or dis
pleas,>, and does his work with all his soul
he need not trouble himself about
glory II will come soon enough Those AT,
the kind ol head, upon which glory L.
heaped, a. a natural consequence, becau>..
they deserve ii and the world Is not SLOW To-
besIow II.
Fidelity To- friends il something that
every Young lady should adopt a. one al

Prudence and discretion should be an
other rule which you should follow ABOVE

Cultivate intellectual adOrTment. When
Young ladies leave school, ii L. too often
the ease that instead ui keeping up their
r. adm. and intellectual progress they
neglect all books and either remain ut an
