RIGHT THINKING.
The keynote of a Fine Sermon Tues
day Morning.


The statements from our ware
houselnen and butchers, published
elsewhere in this issue, .were read
from the platform Tuesday morning by
Sam Jones. He said that he called
this a real forward movement and
commended the parties for the step
they had taken. He hoped before the
meeting closed every druggist would
sign a paper like those.
Before taking his text Sam in
dulged in some sledge- hammer blows,
which he said were by way of paren-
thesis. He hadn't begun 10 preach.
just been trying to keep fellows out
of the chain gang. He wanted to get
straight was to get it straight.
The text was from Philippians,
iii:1O-11: THAT / may know him, and
the fellowship of his sufferingS, being
made comfortable unto his death; if
by any means l might attain unto the
resurrection of the dead"
The three great questions of the
nineteenth century are: Who is
Christ? Where is Christ? What is
Christ? The salvation of our souls
depends upon how we answer these
question. More great minds are en-
quiring along this line than ever be-
fore in the worlds history. If you
want to know of Christ go to his own
lips and let him tell. WHAT the world
needs is wonderful book on the
thoughts of Christ. The best preach
er in the world today is the one that
lifts humanity into the realms Of
Christ's thoughts.
A man will never do right until he
thinks right. You well never lift

The difference between one man and
any other man is the difference be-

| minute man thinks right he will
begin to do right. Religion is the
| great panacea for worldliness and sin
| and will cure you.
