The exposure to all sorts and

PHILADELPHIAS LOYALTY

Rev. John Hemphill, pastor of Calvary
Presby terian Church, occupied his pulpit
yesterday morning for the first time in
two months.
DR.. and Mrs. Hemphil returned last
week from rather hurried trip to Europe.
The long journey across the continent and
the Atlantic was made for private business
purposes only, but in his flying itinerary
Dr. Hemphill caught mental snapshots of
many beautiful and wonderful scenes
which he reproduces in vivid and enter
tanning description.

in Philadelphia. where L preached. 1 did
not occupy my old church, but the doors
of that place of worship were closed in the
evening and the pastor and congregation
came to give their old minister a royal
welcome. Being loyal American, who
believes in patronizing home industries, /
took the steamer Paris of the American
line at New York. 1t was a speedy and
pleasant trip, just seven days being con-
sumed.

away all institutions which oppose God,
making way for the coming of Christ, the
savior of the world.
The church is the instrument by which
Christ will help to rule the world. She
must suffer terribly, even to persecution,
in the great tribulation which is about to
try all men who dwell upon the earth, to
prepare her for her Savior's personal
presence.
Not only is time of trouble and DESC

bright light. God has sent help to the
church. He has sent her an offer of help
and has commenced to reorganize If. He
has restored the gifts of the Holy Ghost
and the Office of apostle.
Mr.. Davenport was very explicit that
he himself is not an apostle, but was sent
by restored apostles to declare to the

SHOOTING FOR BEST BULLsEYEs
The Blanding Trophy Causes &
Spirited Rivalry in the
Columbia Club.

1t was great day for the rife and pistol
shooters at Shell Mound yesterday. From
9 o'clock in the forenoon until as late as
the targets could be seen there was a lively
rattle of muskets and sporting rifles inter-
spersed with the spiteful crack OF the o.
caliber pistols and rifles on the fifty-yard
range adjoining. Taken on a whole the
light was good. In the earlier part of the
day there was stiff breeze from the west
that kept the marksmen shifting there
wind gauges. The marksmen were the
Nationals, Veterans of the National Guard,
Independent Riffs, Germanias. San Fran
cisco Schuetzen VereiE, Norddeutschen
Verein and the Columbia Pistol and Rifle
Club
The latter club held its regular monthly
medal and prize contests. As the end of
| the year approaches the interest becomes
more intense, as there are a number of
valuable medals hanging in the air, so to
speak, which at present no one can lay
very much claim to. A. Strecker is in
the lead for the fine Unfred diamond
medal. Yesterday in three shots he
made Z, or an average of two and one
third inch circle. On another re-entry in
the same match he made 10 points or an
average of three and one-third inches to
O shot. This puts him IL points ahead of
F. Q. Young. D. w. Mclaughlin is a
close third and promises to pull deeper
into the contest now that he has increased
the weight of his 80 Ballard by encasing
the barrel in a section OF bicycle frame
tube. The medal is worth the effort.
The Glindermann rifle medal filled the
stand with muskets, and those who did
not really enter into the competition did
considerable practice for an effort before
the season closes four weeks hence. There
is another reason for the practice. st.
Louis rife and pistol club, composed OF
several hundred mem bers, is carrying 8
chip on its shoulder and at the last meet
ing of the Columbias the secretary was in
structed TO see what kind of an all-round
match for fine rife, musket, pistol and
revolver could be arranged.
On the 5O-yaro pistol range the contests
were even more exciting. The Banding
pistol medal, presented by Gordon Bland
ing, is causing deal OF rivalry. The man
making the best ten scores of three shots
to each score takes the prize.
As ii is re-entry match, there are sew
eral who spend their entire time shooting
in this contest. When the target closed
last evening, Charlie Daiss was in the lead
on the total of ten scores with 66 points
His best score was 2, l, IA. which was o
uplicate OF one made by F. o. Young pre-
uiously. A. H. Pape is next highest, with
a total of 72, ]. E. German third, with II
f. Z. Young fourth, with 79.

the absence of all serious dispute. his po-
sition was very much of sinecure. The
day was an ideal one for shooting. The
light was equabie and there was scarcely
any wind. Under such auspicious circum-
stances the comparatively poor scores
made would seem TO indicate that both
men were trifie nervous.
Woenne was undenIably in that condi-
tion so disastrous TO marksmen, seeing
that he ruined a performance OF average
merit by firing no less than three wides.
j. Wollmer, the former hero of a dead
center, is older and more seasoned; the
result, therefore, is no reflection upon
Woenne's ability. The latter is a promis-

as an evangelist of the Catholic Apostolic
church, preached in Odd Fellows Hall
last night on "Our Lords Second Coming"
He commenced his discourse by saying
that he was not opposed to the orthodox
churches and ministers. but sustained
them. He was opposed to all that tends
to divide the church. He explained that
the second coming of Christ meant the re-
