Prison Life" It plead for reformation
in prison regulations. The chaplain be
lieves unpleasant, tyranical parents, The
use OF tobacco and liquor, gambling ant
the social evil to be the sources Of crime
He believes that TeFormatiOns and moi
punishment should be the great object o
imprisonment. The paper was folIoweC
by an interesting and lively discussion
i At II q. m. Mr. Ingles preached ii
able sermon from John $3.50. He de
fined life to be action. There is phYsi
cal, mental, social, business life, wher'
there is activity of these kinds. Tn
Christian has all the life and every kin,
of life that any one else has, and beside
this he has the life that Ii begotten b.
and feeds upon the truth of God. Thu
, life takes hold upon the origin and de-
ton OF man, takes hold upon God Him
self and brings man into fellowship wit
Him.
