Chapel Services.

rev. +. b. Hicks conducted the services. The
choir singing was unusually good. About twenty
visitors were present. Rev. Hicks took for his
text part of the seventh verse of the twelfth
chapter of Luke-"Fear not therefore: ye are of
more value than many sparrows." and his dis.
course was upon the value of the soul. He said,
in brief, that if we want to buy house, farm or
suit of clothes we calculate the cost, but
when we come to calculate the value of a mans
soul we have no basis Of value from which to fig
ure. But the fact of its having been created
shows that it has some value. We may come at
mans value in some degree by comparing him with
other living things. Take first the tree as a type
of one kind of life. You may strike to the heart
with an axe andit will not cry out or show signs
of feeling yet has life-is born natures. dies and
passes away. Take next the lowest form of animals
they have not the sense of hearing OF seeing. but
they are capable of feeling. and therefore
degree higher in the scale of life than the tree.
Then we have what we call higher animals, such
as the horse. elephant, lien, etc.. and they are
perfect animals having the power of seeing. hear.
ing feeling. and possess high degree Of intelli.
gence. Next in the order of animal life comes man,
and he possesses all the senses of all the other
animals with a higher degree of intelligence-you
find all in him animal that you find in the
is the hgest type of life. But there is something
in the nature of man that lifts him an immeasura.
BILE height above his relation to the animal crea-
tion-it is that something we see in him that does
not belong to the body and will live on after the
body and all its powers in common with other ami
mails are gone To appreciate the great suprem-
| acy of man over all other beings of the earth we
have only to look about us and note the creations
of his mi ind hat oor<b
work together for his benefit ALL things are
given and work together for the satisfaction of
man. Think how all things combine to elevate
man that he may understand the value of his
soul. No other animals were given such powers
to profit by the things of nature. But all the
great powers of man are only the servants of his
immortal soul. We can gain some idea of the value
of soul by the knowledge that God. its creator.
sacrificed His Son for its redemption. Men are
giving their lives so much to temporal affairs that
they forget the spiritual existence. The things Of
this world only for time and to prepare the
soul for eternity.

Helpful Thoughts.

Trial is Gods mark of confidence.
Truth Outlives pain, as the soul does life.
If you would lift me you must be on
higher ground.
We all may have, if we dare try, a glori-
Gus life or grave.
What God calls a man to dc, He will
carry him through.
1t is the love of God only that can make
us come out of self.
The measure of our success is In proper
ton as we satisfy God.
Lend yourself to all, out of love to Him,
but give yourself to Him alone.
The Christian work of the world is done
largely by men with but one talent.
The only way to please God is to follow
the good inclinatiOns of our nature.
See to it that each hours thoughts and &C.
tions are pure and true; then your life will
be such.
You can still make your life as beautiful
as God meant it to be when He thought Of
you first.
You may be dreadful failure. Christ Is
divine success; and in His strength you
may be strong.

Lizzie Evuns's Engagement.

Lizzie Evans will be the Christmas at
traction in her new drama, "Nliss
Prue." "Miss Pruc" was written for
Lizzie Evans MS 4 successor to "Eogg's
Ferry" in which that little lady so
successfully starred for 4 long time.
The feature Of the performance, to
borrow from the sporting editors
glossary, was tho acting of Miss Evans.
She was always regarded as clever
soubrette, conscientious actress and q
charming woman. but with her present
opportunity she rises above the ex-
pectations OF her most sanguine adj
mirers. She shows herself MI emotional
actress of no mean attainments. "'NIiss
Pruo" was just the chance she wanted.
Her impersonation OF tho principal
character in the play exhibits all the
sprightliness OF q soubrette, the win
someress OF an ingenue and the pathetic
power OF 4 more pretentious actress.
Miss Evans has made the hit OF her
life. She has disclosed an ability that
was hidden in the inanities OF her
previous plays. I

Yesterday tho attornycs In tho Gar.

taking Of evidence bearing on the truth

Joseph Robinson had said before sorv-
ing on the case that DR.. Garrison fought
to hang without Judge or jury" {.

and Stenographer Garvin again admin.

recorded the testimony.
Tho first witness was Samuel Aber.

rlsons attorneys. 1t will DO remem-
bcrcd that Lester Bates when on the
stand sworo that when no, Bates, had u
conversation with Newton McConn in
the court house, In the course Of which
he told McConn that Robinson had ex-
pressed prejudice against Garrison,
Samuel Abercrombic was present. Nc.
Conn denied that Bates told him Robin
son had expressed this prejudice 10 him.
Abercrombie testified that he had
heard Lester Bates tell McConn that
Robinson had expressed prejudice
against Garrison. The examination as
to every detail Of tho conversation was
very minute by the attorneys for both
sides. ~
Jacob Rhodes, tho next witness, also
testified that he Ind heard Bates say
there was ono Juror who had expressed
prejudice against Garrison, but il lie
heard the name Of the juror he had for
gotten it.
Rhodes thought the talk in which ho
heard Bates make this statement was
about Il week before the day on which
Bates and Abercrombie testified that it
occurred, and hoF could not give much
idea about tho conversation.
Before the case is ready for submits
sion to Judge Campbell the examina-
ton OF the twelve jurors on their voire
dire, as taken by Capt. Matthews, has

Garrison and DR.. Garrison himself will
be put on the stand to answer some
questions the states attorneys desire to

TO- get the evidence ready to be sub
mitted TO Judge Campbell, and after he
has read it day will have TO be sot for
