TWO SERMONS.
Two Local Ministers Touched Upon
 Politics Yesterday,

Two of our local divines touched upon politics in theirsermons yester- day and made few breezy refer ences in an indirect way to local candidates.
 We allude to the sermons of the Rev. A. o. Evans and the Rev W. K. Penrod at the Main Street Methodist Church and the Sixth Avenue Baptist Church respectively.
 The former was more vigorous in his remarks than the latter. The Rev. Evans was severe in his de- nunciation of office holders who drink whiskey or gamble, and coun- selled his congregation not to vote for any candidate at the coming primary election who does either. The Rev. Penrod did not go quite so far in his sermon as to recom- mend how his congregation should Vote, but he preached a special sermon to the A. 0. U. ". in which he was quite severe on public officers who drink whiskey, gamble or do either or both.
 These two sermons have been the subject of considerable comment on our streets today, ;sss aaa have intensi- fled interest in the already hot polit- ieal campaign.

Luther Benson. the Great Temper
ance Lecturer.

ance Lecturer.
 temperance lee Surer, gave one of his entertaining and instructive lectures yesterday afternoon at Merrill Insti- ute, and again at night at the Main Street Methodist church. Large audiences were present at each lect- ure, and to say that all were highly pleased would be putting it mildly. In his characteristic way he painted the evils of the whiskey traffic in the blackest hue, and showed what it would lead a man to if he persisted in the use of it. He clearly proved that the love of whiskey was heredi- tary and said that he inherited the love for whisky from his forefathers, that he had loved whiskey from the beginning of his life, and that iie was drunk at the age of 6 years. For twenty years he was a drunkard, but he had overcome the love ol whiskey, and that he intended to spend the remainder of his life in fighting the great enemy of man alcohol.
 Mfr. Benson is q man of education fluent talker and holds the attention of his audience from the begining tc the close of his lecture. He lectures again tonight at Merrill Institute and he should be greeted by large audience. An admission fee of II lcents will be charged.

feet were covered with slime and mud
from the street.

But Reginald declined to sit still, and his
mother said:
Reginald, do You hear me?''
''CoUrse / do"
