The union worship of the Center and the College churches with the United church caused a large attendance there yesterday for midsummer. The orphans with their teach- CTS filled part of the north gallery, which, with the other gallery, was well filled.
 Rev.. Dr. George Bushnell by the pastors invitation was in the pulpit and assisted in the service. Rev. Dr. Munger, the pastor, read from the "revised version" part of the 10th chapter of Matthew for the morning lesson. The first clause of the 25th verse was the chosen text, ''It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master" After re- marking on the high character and calling of the true disciple of the Lord Jesus the speak CT called attention to the inequality of for tune in life. The gospel clearly divides right and wrong, the bad and the good; but man alone of Gods creatures suffers from poverty and want. Only 8 minority of the people everywhere possess wealth and abun- dance, while the great majority suffer from poverty. The advent of Christ in the world was not with the rich and honored, but with the poor and common class of society. This is the worlds redemption to come, by lifting up the lowly and worthy and putting down the proud and arrogant, to change our world from sin to righteousness. Not ease, wealth and disregard of others is our lot in life, but the Christian is to disturb and change, to toll and to suffer until he whose sight it is shall reign, our loved Lord and king here and hereafter.
 At the Sunday school the pastor made an address on the use of vacation. and it's neces- sity to enable us to do our best work. Over kvv0 hundrad yvara T1rAaant fha 0rF1f1ana form ing large part both in the infant and class departments.

When Marcus A. Smith, the handsome
delegate from Arizona, first came here he
wore a soft felt hat with wide brim and a
turned down collar with flowing necktie.
His indifference to the quality or fit of his
garments was a matter OF comment among
his colleagues. But this is all changed since
he took quarters in a fashionable hotel. and
became a society man. The other evening
he was standing in the lobby of the Ebbitt
house smoking cigarette. He was dressed
with great care in the extreme of fashion.
His silk faced Prince Albert coat was closely
buttoned and be wore boutonniere of yio-
let1 in the lapel Under the "Piccadillyn col
lar appeared the bow of a white lawn necktie
and upon his head was new silk hat. He
held buff gloves and a cane in his left hand
and toyed with his cigarette with his right.
A friend came presently along, and, seeing
him, stopped suddenly and eyed him from
head to foot.
Great Scott, Smith" he exclaimed, "what
would your folks down in Tombstone say If
they could see you nowl And smoking a
cigarette, tool | will write description of
your present appearance and see that it is
published down there"
"The cigarette is all right said Smith,
carelessly. Everybody down that way
smokes cigarettes Its Spanish and Mexi-
can custom They wouldn't mind that, of
but for heavens sake don't mention
the plug hat They wouldn't stand that. ~
