LAST NIGHT IN TRINITY CHURCH
Evangelist Naylor last night preached
sermon in Trinity NJ. f. Church upon
Death on the Pale Horse" during
which he said: Il have described to
YOU the position of two persons-the
first dying without God and hope, after
spending a life of selfishness and sin {;
the other dying beneath the smile of
Cbrist's own cloudless countenance.
Now | ask you, which position do you
choose? Not one of YOU will choose
the former. You crave to die right.
Then, if you want to die right, live
right. If you want to die for heaven,
live for heaven. Ii is the height and
depth of meanness, it is unmanly and
unwomanly and most contemplate to
dedicaate your time and talents, your
health and strength, your powers and
life TO the service of the devil and then
when YOU come to die want to give
Christ the last few moments or hours
OF your life; want to give him the dregs
OF Your life and apply for salvation and
p T,!l into. INTO heaven like a thief Mr..
Naylorwill speak about king in pit

accustomed appearance save at the cor

purchases the branch Of the Seattle, Lake

to Coulee City. both Of which are unlikely
to happen. The line will run from near

two miles to the north and Cathcart q
mile to the south. Thence directly east
following the north bank Of the Skykomish
river and going through the mountains
at Stevens pass. From Stevens pass
the road runs east by south, crossing the
Wenatchee at Lake Klakim, thence

The key chain worn by many gentlemen
is the invention Of a noted burglar, who
spent many years Of his life in dungeon
cell for plying his vocation in the hotels
in Philadelphia. While at work one
stormy night, trying to turn the lock Of a
Walnut street door, the false key dropped
in the snow, and while searching for it q
watchman came along and locked the
burglar up and had him sent to Moyamen-
sing. Having some ingenuity he thought
Of having keys fastened to a chain, so
that when a limb Of the law appeared,
he could fly without thought about the
keys, and found it worked like charm.
He has now seen the error Of his ways,
and lives comfortably on a royalty from
manufacturers.
