TOLD HIM THE TRUTH.
An Interesting Sermon by Rev. w. 0.
 Richmond at Hhe Calvary Baptist

An Interesting Sermon by Rev. w. 0.
 Richmond at the Calvary Baptist
 Church.
 Rev. W. 0. Richmond of Cambridge, Mass, occupied the pulpit of the Calvary Baptist church yesterday morning and evening. At the morning service he delivered an exceed ingly interesting sermon from the teAt-St. Mark V, 33: ''She came and fell down be- fore him and told him all the truth"
 MT. Richmond said there were two things the confession to Christ and the confession of Christ. The first should be open, faith ful, truthful, sincere, holding back nothing.
 Our hearts must be opened to God. Delay not in that confession. Many think
 that they can SOW their wild oats and settle
 down after awhile. and the bad habits will
 wear off. But they are sowing the seeds
 which will not reap a harvest. Better that
 those wild oats were never sown, for it will
 tell on the person sooner or later. There is
 no mistake about it. One rail removed may
 wreck a whole train. That one rail will cause
 the destruction of train just as much as
 if the whole track was torn up.
 Just so with us. One bad habit or one black
 spot in our heart can wreck a mans whole
 life just as effectually as if he should plunge
 at once over the precipiee. We do not real
 ize that that one habit is causing our down.
 fall. We never will until the time at last
 arrives aud we are called to account by God.
 Many say there is plenty of time. They do
 not want to give up their freedom just yet.
 They will reform after awhile and join the
 church. They think they will be all right. These are the persons who are always going
 to break of their bad habits, but they never
 do. Time keeps going on. They pass from boyhood into manhood and on into old age. Still they say there is time enough. Alas when it is too late. They have Sc hardened their hearts that the sowing of the good seed of the Lord is just like sowing grass seed on a paved street. Most people, no doubt, are driven to become Christians. They try everything else, and as it fails they come to Christ as last resort. every physician and had spent everything she had. She was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse. Finally, as last resort, she went to Christ and opened wide her heart. She made confession that was com plete, and she also made confession of Christ. How many of us but would proba- bly, like to be Christians in secret, and so make no confession of him before the null titudes In the presidential campaigns peo- pie parade in torchlight processions and cry aloud for their candidate. Would they think of crying out the Lords name in that manner? If this people would only assert side,' and cheer for the Lord the same as the people do for their favorite presidential can- didate, how strong and what grand change there would be in the cause of Christianity. We should confess of Christ the same as to him. The speaker closed with an impress sive and eloquent appeal to come out on the Lords side.

The Senior PrOmemade.

The graduating class of the High school, taking time by the forelock, have asked the board of education to grant them favor. They want to use the High school hall for thelr annual promenade, but can't do it very well unless the partition which divides the hall into two parts is taken down for the oc- casion in question If the board does not think it best to have the partition removed then the class offer to pay $100 of the cost of hiring the Hyperion for the affair, which is certainly very reasonable. The class were not emphatic nor dietatorial in their petition de partition.

The woman made believe to the clerk that she wanted to buy an expensive lot of silk, and while he was doing it up and his eyes were turned she picked up roll which lay on the counter and put it under her cloak. When the clerk handed her the silk he had done up she made an excuse that she had left her purse at home and that she would return as soon as possible and get the silk. As she did not return the clerk be. came suspicious and soon discovered that roll of silk had been stolen.
