CALLED TO BE MARRIED.

Rev, l.. D. Temple discoursedlast Sunday even
ing to q full house on a novel view of marriage.
The idea was that If one was led into marriage 1t
should be regarded as a call from God to serve
humanity in that relation. The theme of the
sermon was Marriage as a vocation" The fol
lowing is an extract from the sermon Viewed
as a divine call marriage assumes a different as
pect. 1t is no longer a matter of convenience, to
be cherished as long as it continues agreeable.
The legitimate burdens of married life will be
borne cheerfully. Dsappointments will be ex-
pected God calls no one to a life OF unmiXed
pleasure. Burdens are good for people, teaching
them stability, patience and courage. Disap-
pointments lead to divorces when marriage is
viewed as a relation of convenience. The Roman
Catholic theory is one of very great value. II is
that marriage is a sacrament and not contract.
A sacrament is the outward sign OF an inward
spiritual condition. Marriage viewed as divine
call would elevate the worlds moral tone. Among
some people there is disposition to sneer at the
sacredness # the marriage bond There is
feeling that marriage is advisable as a conven-
lent social arrangement, but that 1t has none hut
a secular sanction. In too many cases this su,
perfical idea of marriage brings forth its natural
fruit in the scandal Of the divorce court Quar-
Tels arise, unkindness becomes a settled habit
husbands and wives drift apart and often into
immortality, What can be expected of such a
state of thingsg There is nothing that can save
ing there, but an exalted view of marriage The
same call of Jehovah which took David from fol
lowing the sheep and made him king OF Israel;
which took Luther from the cell of a monk and
made him the chief organ of religious and social
reform; which took Washington from the sur
veyor's chair and made him the leader of new
nation, has summoned husbands and wives to the
places they fill and that summons is for them as
sacred any ever heard by man"

AN ESTEY ORGAN
Presented to the Battle Ship Indiana.

presented TO the Battle Ship Indiana.
From the Washington Star of Dec 12l
1t has been the custom for some of the
women's organizations interested in army
and navy matters to present to the new
United States vessels some fitting piece of
furniture as reminder of their work and
esteem. The latest move along this line
is the gift of a handsome Estey organ to
the United States battle ship Indiana" by
Mrs. Gen. Kelton, Mrs. Bradford and Mrs.
Chadwick, representing the Army and
navy League and Union Mission School
association. This present is given by these
organizations in memoriam to the late Mrs.
Harrison, and there has been placed upon
the instrument a handsome silver plate
engraved to that effect. The organ is what
is known as the Estey "Portable," and can
readily be folded into space no larger than
a small steamer trunk. 1t is sweet in tone
and sufficiently powerful to fill any ships
cabin. The case is made of light oak, and
the whole thing attracts much attention,
as it is displayed in the window of the
ware rooms of the Estey Organ company's
representatives here, Messrs. Sanders IL
Stayman, 034 street northwest.

During the Holidays

We expect a livelier trade than usual
for not only must the people eat but
they usually want to buy something
for their friends. We try to antici-
pate their wants. Our stock of eat
ables is larger, better and more va
ried than ever. We always have
better appetites when we feel cheer
full, you know, and this certainly
should be the most cheerful season
of the year. We have a good line

Proud over all. Monadnock towers,
A stern old mountain, lifting high
His rugged brow TO scan the sky:
Mute critic of the swift-winged hours.
o mountain, watching for the morn,
Serene and calm and brave you seem;
Serene as life seems when we dream,
Selfpoised amid earth's praise or scorn.
At early dawn, mid shadows gray,
The first red rays of sunrise kissed
Your Handicapped crest, and, 10 the mist
Was scattered by the god of day.
So shall II be in mans vexed life:
Shadows and doubts and msts shall roll
Far off at sunrise from the soul;
At sunrise, peace shall vanqush strife

SPORTING.
BaId's Wonderful Record.

The closing of the bicycle racing season
shows that 4. G. Bald is the most wonder
full rider in America. He won SO out of
80 mile events in which he started this
season, and the remarkable feature, aside
from his ability to win, was his average
time, 2.10 1-2. Nothing like an average
of this kind was ever dreamed of before the
Cannon Ball. rolled it up. His fastest
mile was 1.55 10 at Denver, Oct. Is, and
his slowest, 2.32 2-5, at Waltham, Sept. IA.
During the season Bald has competed in
1O2 races, winning 63 of these, j3 on the
circuit and 10 off the circuit. He has won
10 second prizes and II third prizes; been
fourth five times, fifth one time and was
three times unplaced, each time in handi-
cap races when he started from scratch. In
half mile events he was proportionately
less fortunate than in mile races, winning
II ont of the u in which he competed
Bald's list of winnings includes three of
this years national championships, the
quarter and half miles won at Asbury Park,
and the one mile won at Denver. Three
times during the year he has held the
worlds competition record for the mile,
bringing it down on successive occasions to
| 2.04, 1.5S 1-5 and 1.55 10. Bald holds
many state and track records, including the
Vermont record OF % 20 seconus lOI INC

clubs race meet in Bratteboro, August ~.
