Father Nugent Visits Us.

The Rev. Father Nugent. of Liverpool, Eng,
was in saltwater Tuesday and Wednesday even
ings of this week tor the purpose of giving tenn
perance lectures. Tuesday evening he had a large
and enthusiastic audience at the Grand Opera
House. On Wednesday evening his audience was
composed of the inmates of this institution; and
dulging too freely in the flowing bowl at present,
the speaker could not have found audience
more in need of, or that more highly appreciated
his words.
The evenings ceremony opened with a musical
selection by the prison choir. Father Murphy then
introduced the speaker. paying high tribute to
the work to which Father Nugent is devoting his
life. The speaker then gave us brief history of
his experience prison chaplain and con tinued
his lecture in the form of illustrative story
which was well received and vigorously applauded
by the audience. Owing to the lateness of the
hour we are unable to give suitable report of
the lecture, but it shall form interesting part
of eur next issue. The evening exercises closed
with two solo selections by John Smith with Choir
us by the prison choir and audience. After the
inmates returned to their quarters the guests
were served with a collation. prepared by Steward
Benner.
Among the visitors present we noticed the fol-
lowing: Mrs. Randall, Mrs. Westby, Miss Josie
Westby. Miss Duggan. Mrs. ]. S. O'Brien. Mrs.
John O'Brien, Rev. M. f. Murphy, Rev. P. A. Nc
Carrren, Rev. A. D. stowe. Mr.. John O'Brien.
Mr. JAS S. o Brien. DIR. Merrill. Mr.. Peter Begg,
Mr.. Plim E. Bennett, Mr.. r. H. Dixon and Mr.. A..
F. Sanftenberg. The Warden and Deputy were
also present.

God has also laid down laws governing our spirit
ual fe and if we live within the limits of that law
we will succeed.
The lesson that we are to draw from the life of
Saul is, that we can endure adversely better than
success. Men will fight through adversely where
they would fail in success. The great end of
life is the building of character. Alexander the
Great conquered the world but he surrendered to-
drunkenness and Saul fell when he stood on the
summit of success.
Mr.. Albert interspersed his sermon with many
other examples and logical deductions in proof of
his argument that adversely is the greatest slim
illus to high achievements.

Sunday Services.

Services were conducted by Rev. j. H. Albert
His sermon was review of the lives of Saul and
Samuel, and the lesson to be derived therefrom.
The text was Samuel. ix II: And when Samuel
saw Saul, the Lord said unto him, behold the man
whom spake to thee Of! this same shall reign
over my people,"
In the two books of Samuel we have the true
life of three great men of their time: Samuel.
SAUL and David they stand out before like
living men. wish every boy might be led to study
these three characters, and get them by heart I'M
til they become throughly grounded into his own
life. A young man having a thorough knowledge
of these three characters is we'll equipped for the
battle Of life.
Saul was destined to become king of Israel
Three things were in his way, each of which was
great in itself, and together they formed an al
most insurmountable barrier. The first Sam
ue a private citizen; he was good minister of
the country, the originator of the Circuit Court
the public school system and the college, and was
generally beloved by the people for his good quail
tiles while the emperor not liked by his peo-
pie. The second was the independent spirit in
the people themselves; and the third was the con-
dtion of the tribes at that time
Their jealous disposition prevented them from
following one leader. Saul overcame these diff
cultes. and gained the confidence of the whole
nation. But just as he stood at the summit of his
career he made fatal mistake and he failed.
Saul had work on earth to do. God said do so
and SO, and Saul said. will do as please, and
thus he failed.
A man says, will not submit to Gods law lit is
arbitrary and don't think it is right. Suppose
were to reason in like manner in all other
cases. Suppose you jump out of window, or
drink gallon of alcohol at once. what will be the
result Of this breaking of Gods law regarding our
tody?
