Successful Series of Prayer Meetings
Going On.

Although it would be difficult to imagine
deter the people from attending the second
union prayer meeting held last night at the
Baptist Church. The pastor, Rev. Mr..
Thomas, presided, and announced stirring
hymns with melodious tunes, which the
choir, assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Birch
or the Methodist Episcopal congregation,
rendered with excellent effect.
DR.. Stitt began his address on the
Growth OF righteousness Among the
Nations" with a quotation from Matthew
Arnold to the effect that there is a power
III the earth which ~WOrketh for righteous
ness. Arnold probably said the doctor,
would have his printer use the lower case
TO begin the word power, for fear some
one would infer that he recognized the
power as divine. What he meant proba bly,
was that public opinion, sef-interest and
the preservation OF health prompted people
10 righteous living. The doctor said that
he feared his hearers might consider him
optimistic, but he was thankful for his
belief that the world was growing better
every day. The Rev. Mr. Billhemer of the
! lutheran Church said he hoped he would
rot be considered pessimistic but that
there was much room for Improvement

with regret, that the sale of intoxicants

The consumption OF olives in the United
States Is increasing rapidly as a result of
the immigration Of large numbers of people
from southern Europe within the past few
