THE BETTER LIE.
saceess of the Meetings at the Cumberland
Preaby erlan Church.

Presbyterian Church.
Looking unto Jesus, the author and
finisber OF our faith,'' was the text
chosen by Rev. MIR. Robinson at the
services held at the Cumberland Presby-
terrain church last night.
How great a thing q little fire kindleth,
WAS fully demonstrated by the small fire
immediately back of the church, so also
a spark of religious fire will kindle re-
form that shall! shake the universe.
The opportunity of seeing and hearing
the Bible expOunded by the revivalist
now in the city ought not be missed.
The meeting was one of deep conviction,
and as the speaker portrayed Christ as
the lion, burden bearer, man and eagle
OF the human race the words sank deep
into the hearts OF those present.
Grand and glorious is the work, and it
is an object whereby it is hoped that all
the good institutions which sprung up
after the meetings held last spring and
still in their infancy, may be recruited
by many citizens who rs yet are wander
ing in the paths of sin. Let those who
have tasted OF the peace join heartily in
the work. Bring your Gospel Hymns
No. 8 with you and join in the praises to
God under the leadership of Professor
Hell.
The heating apparatus has been fin
ished and those who attend can rest as
sured that they will be comfortable.
The song service will begin at 7:l5 and
preaching at 7:45 tonight. There will
also be meeting at 3 D. IN. to which all

DALLAS, Ten. Dec. "a move is on

put down a double track. The Houston

the Central people will build new pas
