Iact that he lost his precious mother

length on the influence of sainted.

best gift to man is a good wife He
touched on all sorts of wives, and said
that he had admiration for the woman
who had henpecked husband that this
sort Of man invariably needed pecking,
that he had better be pecked by his wife
than by the devil. He also liked the wo-
man who would stand up to her husband,
and in his opinion cheerful wife is a
blessing to any man. Joyous, christian
woman, happy all the time and throwing
sunshine on everything that comes in
contact with her.

the garden of an old brother and there
was tombstone and he said, There is
the tombstone Of my wife" walked up
and read the inscriptions: it gave her
name, the date of her birth and the date
Of her death, and then just one line and
that line was this: "She made home
pleasant" That was the grandest epi-
taph | ever saw on wife's tombstone
A wife and husband ought to have an
understanding that they will not get mad
at the same time. When a husband gets
to quarrelling a wife ought to sit down
and keep her mouth shut
He spoke of a wife's gentleness, and
then got off on the subject of mothers in
law. He said that he had mighty good
mother-in-law, but that just as soon as he
married her daughter he moved five hun
dred miles away and she had never shown
any inclination to follow. He said that
when his wife wanted to see her mother
she could go, but that somehow or other
he imagined that when she came back she
was little more sassy than usual.
Mr.. Jones concluded his sermon by
speaking on the third division of his
theme, daughters. They make up large
ly, said he, the life of our homes. He
said that there was a family of children
in Durham, North Carolina, who are
worth their weight in gold. He spoke of
silly girls who dance, and who encourage
the attention of dudes. The dude, he
said, was-a p;mplc on the face of society.
You have seen these little white pimples
that come on your face when you sleep.
That was dude, and when one of these
pimples was squeezed it was a dudine.
Mr.. Jones accompanied his discourse
with a number of practical illustrations
that brought the morals he wished to
convey very conspicuously before his
hearers.
At the close of his sermon Mr. Jones
announced the presence on the platform
of the wife of the late Bishop Wightman n
and in fitting language introduced her to
the audience Mrs Wightman presented
the cause of the Woman's Missionary
Society, Of which she is representative.
She said that it was no new thing for
women to engage in missionary work,
but that it was new that they were be-
ginning to accomplish that work un der
thorough organization. She said much
that was eminently practical and wise in
regard to training schools, and mentioned
the religious normal school to be erected
at Kansas City, where Sunday school
missionary and charitable workers would
be carefully trained
Mr.. Jones made an appeal to the audi
ence for contribution to aid this normal
religious work and to help build the re-
quisite structures at Kansas City. a
fund amounting to the generous sum of
81, ,6J0.50 was subscribed.
AFTERNOON SERVICE.
To one attending the large tabernacle
meetings last Sunday morning and the
week previous, it was a source of sur
prise and wonder where so many people
came from. Surely every man, woman

yet when the hour for the meeting for

all ages, but not woman in the entire

Mr.. Jones previous to announcing his
text said that he had bat three questions
to PROFOUND to the man who attempted to
give him religious instruction and point
to him the way of salvation. First, are
you posted on the subject you are about
to discuss? second, do you mean kindly
towards me? and third, do you live up TO
what you preach?
Now my friends have the kindliest
feelings toward you in everything | say,
