At the Presbyterian Church.

Rev. DIR. Shed, missionary from
Persia, preached at the Presbyte-
rian church Sabbath morning. lect-
ured in the College chapel at , p. m.
and preached again at the church
at 7 p. m.
His text in the morning was, GAS
my father sent me. so send l you"
The work of the ministry was the
subject. This work is the work of
Christ. This command is to do the
same work he began. The minis
ter should be certain of his relation
to Christ. In a world of sin Christ
came to overcome it by example
and by giving his strength to such
as desire to live lives of righteous
ness. Outside of Christ man is lost,
but in him he is brought into new
life. Man must 60 away into de-
structiOn without the gospel; it is
the remedy for sin by saving from
it.
The sermon was an excellent
presentation of the subject as con.
tanned in the text.

"Messrs. Sims AMI Birks Of this

chased MOntvale Springs, the great

New York, says "The majority
doesn't need any leader. There are
fifteen committees, and the chair.
man of each Of these is expected to
be always fully prepared to defend
whatever comes from his commit

vOcte of a Government subsidy to
American ships. A bill embodying
his ideas was on the calendar when
Congress adjourned. he will in
troduce similar bill as soon as
Congress meets.
The President is very anxious to
get things in such shape that the
republicans can carry the next Pres.
idential election without the vote
of N. Y. He doesn't wish, of course,
to give up New York but only to
prevent its being the pivotal state.

pressure being very slight, but it revived
the hopes OF even the recent CLAIMS.
At 1000 ieet the tools wcrp again lost,

they were easily recovered. because fishing
