larger attendance from points in Mar
shall county, owing TO the favorable
weather, and the splendid condition OF
the roads. Vehicles OF all descriptions
were pressed into service. A large num-
Der from Wheeling and intermediate
points went down on the morning ONO

REV. BANKS DISCOURSE.
The big auditorium was completely
filed After a brief song service DR..
Banks delivered an eloquent iand
thoughtful discourse, which was listened
to with close attention. His theme was
Resources Of the Soul" John 4th CHI,
31st to 35th v. After brief INTRODUCED
~ remarks, he referred TO the individ-
uality of life. The world loses much
by our timidity, our failure 10 be brave
enough TO assert our personality. We
are copyists of each other, slaves Of
fashion, and slaves of habit Ideals
exert a great influence in the formation
OF our character. They dictate our des-
tinv. A high and lofty ideal brings a
corresponding elevation OF conduct In
life, and a lowly and degraded ideal
produces a corresponding effect. Only
noble ideals can have an influence In
the formation OF a noble character.
Each individual is a personal study
Of the Almi6hty God, and is sent here
for a special purpose, 70 do a special
work II one really believes this, be
becomes heroic aud brave. Many peo-
pie profess TO believe, but live lives
which are no higher than that Of the dog
I'm the kennel, or the OK in the stall; but
nobody really believes without being eX-
allied and ennobled. In the Scripture
we have the proper food for the soul.

All his Masters will. BY giving, and
not by getting, do men become rich and

After the preliminary song ser

OF this city preached
sermon upon the theme-"What think
ye Of Christi" selecting his chapter
from Matthew 22ch, 42g. He said this
was the great question of the ages. 1t
was asked in the time Of Christ Him
self, when his enemies tried TO entangle
him 10 his talk by asking innumerable
difficult questions. They tried him first
with a political, second a theological,
and third a legal question. Christ an
