The doctor took occasion to eulogize
the character of Jesus and his most
intimate associates while the main ex
position of his discourse was on Chris

There Is wonderful power in o
simple. earnest faith like that of Mary.
She appeared to know more of Jesus
than others and to be nearer the great
heart that finally broke for saving the
world. He died for us, the just fol
the unjust. that He might bring US to
God" But little has ever been accom-
pllshed without faith. I'VE live by
faith on the Son of God" Every gen,

Another thing we may learn from
Mary's experience IL that faith in Jesus
Christ brings an enduring fame. How
many Of the names OF the brilliant
aud distinguished court ladies OF her
time do you know to-day. To her
memory was erected monument
more enduring than bronze or marble.
The blessed Saviour prophetically said;
verify say unto you: Wheresuever
this gospel shall be preached in the
whole world there shall also this. that
this woman duth done, be told for q
memorial of her."
II would appear from this that there
are not SO many really great men In
our own day as we are wont to think,
and that many of those whom the
/ world calls great are sometimes mean.

thought he had seen men that were
meaner than Judas Iscarlot.
MONEY EASY.
The blackboard taking of subscrip-
tions and collections from large
amounts down to one dollar, occupied
from li.40 a. m. to 2.40 p. M. Among
the larger giyers whose names are
learned were: Overplus OF Conference

Hysore's Sunday School class, Martin
BeHdenkopf, Isaac Woodrow, Mite
Society, Mrs. Samuel Mcdaniel, Mrs,
| III. Lenderman. Harry Frazer, Mrs,
JefIerls' Sunday School class and
Sister Talley. The givers were very
numerous and liberal. When the lower
figures were reached the congregation
became excited and happy-probably
because poor people feel the sacrifice
moro and are the most numerous
Many OF the young men, who proba-
bly, have hard struggle to earn their
board and respectable clothes came
into the one dollar lines with great
enthusiasm. May they all prosper
and be able to give bigger money
when they get established in life.
They should remember always that
