pathy and appreciation in behalf of the

WHEREAS, our Heavenly Faith r has seen fit
in His providence to remove by death our be-
loved sister YRS. Kate Irwin; therefore
Resolved, That we, the members OF the w
c. Il. Z OF Nina, desire to record our sense of
ss and also 10 her family and loved ones our
b artfelt sympathy in their bereavement
Though Mrs. Twins delicate health pre-
vented her being an attendant upon our meet
ings, yet even in her physical infirmity she
glorified the Master by faithfully carrying on
a department of our W rk which could be
done in her own home.
For more than year che was the efficient
editor of the temperance column in each of
our Alma papers. Her aoble example ard
Christ-like life have been an inspiration to
those who have known her, and caunot fail to
exert an abiding influence.

Alma Wins the Championshlp,

Alma College at the field day of the
Saginaw Valley Y. VI. g. A. in Saginaw
last Saturday surprised itself, its friends
and rivals by taking first place in the
contest. They scored total of 3G
points, their nearest rival being Bay
City with a total of 33 points. In the runs
and all contests calling for endurance
Alma was invincible, winning with ease
In every such event 1t was an object
lesson on the value of faithful training,
much of the credit of which is due to
the patience and faithfulness of Mr..
Marsh, the manager OF the track team.
The track team, though containing the
least number of men in training. and
being the least popular of the teams at
Alma, has won more renown for Alma
than all the other sports. The team rep
resenting Alma at Saginaw consisted of
Messrs. Sidebotham, Brooks, Scott, Long
and Bruske, the first four of whom won
prizes, all four running in and winning
the relay, Sldebotham winning the half
mile in 2:22 and the mile in 30. Scott
won the 220 yards hurdle i'm .27 . and
the l00yard dash in II seconds fiat. The
tracks were III very bad condition. and
the time could not possibly be fast.
Long won third in both the 220 hurdles
and in the standing broad jump. Scott
won second III the shot put and third in

Excepting the heart " The prevailing
thought in this most excellent sermon
was that of personal responsibility, and
the necessity of continued and strenuous

Is spoken of a a life of faith and prayer,
yet il must be said that we must not
depend wholly on these. Continuous
effort is required in order to keep from
sin and temptation in all its forms, and
to avoid the errors and pitfalls into
which many have fallen whose educa-
tional advantages and social privileges
have been equally as good as those of
persons who, by constant watchfulness,
persistent, well-dircctcd efforts, suS.
tanned by noble impulses, have made life

can buy gold at home without

been the graveyard of silver.
Silver has been going to India
for centuries. But it never comes
back. They adorn their temples
with it, They make their gods out
of it. The worshipers OF the moon
have all kinds of silver gods. Do
you suppose they are going to
surrender their gods because bull
lion goes up? Is that the idea?
Do you suppose any church in
Atlanta would bring its silver
communion service and give it
up to the mint because the price
of silver bullion went up? Well,
you have got to suppose that OF
India before you can suppose that
they will bring this silver here
and flood the United States with
it. Now where is it to come from?
Ask some Of these gentlemen,
when you hear them discuss the
question, where the silver is to
come from. Oh, but they say,
France and the Latin union de-
monitized silver at the time when
Germany retired her 300,000,000.

cheap demagogism, by which a

juggle with the name of the Crea-

stray votes to send them back to
