service OF the parochal mission at I'm
manuel Church last evening. Rev. Mr.
Bedinger, the missioner, again oficiated

which moved to tears many OF his
hearers. After prayer had been
offered the missioner announced that
he would begin a series of discourses
on the ten com mandments, giving one
each evening. Accordingly he gave an
impressive and earnest talk on the first
commandment, "Thou shalt have no
other gods before me" 1--WE often
think, said the speaker, that we never
disobey that command, because we do not
bow before old Wooden, Thai, or any
other image, but in that we are wrong.
When we start out in life for the pursuit
of one thing, and devote our whole time
to the acco nplishment of that purpose,
we bring that thing between us and
Gods face, and we forget our duty to our
God. Many seek the god of pleasure,
and their only thought ia for the pleas
ures of to-day. Others strive for
wealth and look forward only to the time
when they will possess $500, 600. This
is why the first commandment is placed
In our daily lessons, that we may at all
times remember our God"
