Good Samaritan., Meeting.

Last evening an interesting meeting was held by the Good Samaritans at their hall 917 Chapel street. The exercises were con- ducted by President Frank D. Ludington.
 MT. Ludington in opening the meeting made a powerful appeal to his hearers to work
 valiantly in the temperance cause; a cause
 which is second to none. W. H. Couklin followed in an address in which he inculc- aated the lesson that they who are total ab- stainers from intoxicating drinks are best fitted to fight the battle of life and come of conquerors. Vice President Carney, c. Cam eron and James Martin spoke briefly. Presi- dent Ludington announced that next Sunday evening there would be an attractive pro- gamme and each succeeding meeting here after will be held Saturday and Sunday even- ings at Samaritans' hall, S17 Chapel street.

CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH.
Rev. pr. GOOdsen Breaches Upon Ihl
 Christian Call to Duty.

Rev. pr. GOOdsen Breaches Upon the
 Christian Call to Duty.
 Rev. Dr. Goodsell, pastor of the First Methodist church, preached in the Calvary Baptist church yesterday morning from the text found in Genesis iii, 8: "And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden" It makes no difference wheth- CT we consider the book of Genesis as true history true allegory as regards the truths it is intended to convey. It matters not where the Garden of Eden was-whether in Asia Minor or at the North pole; it teaches us that at one time man was in harmony with his surroundings, and at some time that harmony was broken. The fact that the Lord called to Adam "Where art thou?'' does not indicate ignorance upon Gods part, but sense of moral wrong and shame upon the part of Adam. Dr. Goodsell then devel- oped in masterly way the strength of the friendship of God as compared with human friendships. It is characteristic of man when he has done wrong to attach the blame to the one whom he has wronged. With God whom we have wronged we are allowed to cast the burden upon him who died for us. No matter how low our circumstances or how poor our condition we are not so low but that Christ can lift us up. The speak CTS illustrations of the "Voice of God" which we hear many times every day were very af- fecting.
