makes it necessary TO abandon the cat.
The origin OF the custom Of leaving the cat

of the cat himself. No matter where he

A cat loves only once in his life. II it

The other reason is that in most any old

HOLINESS MEETING.
DR.. Carradine Will Leave on Monday Fol-
Philadelphia

Phllaoelph1a.
Salem, Va, Oct 3.-(Special)- Car
radine preached to crowded house last
night from the text, Proverbs 291: ''He
that, being often reproved, hardeneth his
neck shall suddenly be DESTROYED, and
that without remedy"
This is Gods word There have been
some questions raised concerning the
translation of some of the Bible verses,
but no questions have been raised about
this one. 1t Is wonderful how we treat
God We treat no other SO ill. He
gives us life and sends us sunshine and
rain, and showers upon us tender mer-
cies. When man often reproves me, I
become afraid of him, and yet we offend
God so often and trample under foot his
laws. An arm raised against king is
considered by law greater offense than to
raise it against an ordinary Individual,
yet we continually and repeatedly sin
against our great king. Satan has
deluded us with the idea that we can sin
with impunity, but there must be time
of reckoning. God blocks up the way of
man who first begins to sin, but the
time comes when he takes his hand
away; mercy to man who sins contin-
ually would only be q weakness The
speaker here drew a vivid picture of hell
and peopled it with the souls of the lost,
hell is dominated by hate. There is no
love there; no mercy there; no social re-
lations there; no God there; nothing but
profanities and blasphemies, "where the
worm dieth not, and the fire is NOT,
quenched."
No man can say that he has not been
reproved. 1t is hard thing to 90 to hell.
to override all of Gods reproofs God
gives us host of reproving voices. He
has put one on the inside of us called
conscience 1t stands as watchman
and when sin enters it turns as a witness
against sin. and finally acts as execu-
TONER. Here conscience was described
beautifully and eloquently. He smoke of
It's silent and accurate workings and it's

we are even reproved by nature herself.
God reproved the waves and they lis

their brightness and splendor rebuke
and reprove us, and the colors in the dew
drops and rainbow reprove us in their

In the original style. The libretto is by
Cheever Goodwin and the score by Will

contain the brightest work of the collab-

cleverness. The opera is said TO be excep-

chorus, splendid stage settings and mag

THE BRILLIANT RHEA.
Among the brilliant stars who have
added lusteI to the American stage in
this country the name of Mile Rhea
stands prominently forth, not only as Il
great and gifted actress, but as the
woman, tender and true, and ennobling
her sex by every act of her gracious and
charming individuality. No woman ever
possessed more striking personality
than this gifted child of France. But
the world already knows that, for who
has not seen Rhea in her great character

be quenched, but springs to growth and
strength whether it is nutured or not,
that before many months had passed she
made her first public recitation, timid,

success Then. she went to Russia where
she acted for five years at the Imperial
Theatre in st. Petersburg. She had a
great friend in Alexander II, who was
assassinated. After that tragic event
she went to Paris, and not liking the at
