The Rev. Lyman T.. Powell, assistant
at st. Thomas Church, Whitemarsh,
and minister in charge at a mbler, Pa,
preached in ST. Andrews Church last
Sunday morning on Spiritual Depres-
sion" His text had to do with the
change that came over Elisha at the
threat OF Jazebe to kill him. lie lost
his nerve and fled like any coward to
the desert. Yet his conduct was not
unusual, for detection and WEAKNESS of
soul unerringly succeed the mood of
exultation. Much of tho so. called
spiritual depression is due to lowness
of physical tone, to self Indulgence at
the dinner table or to some imprudence
in dress or sleep. Spiritual depression
also results from the skepticism that
exists and from our sins. To recover
from this depression the first step is to
regain physical strength and to follow
the voice OF conscience.

1t will be seen that he shot the fifth
hundred straight and his poorest work
was in the second hundred, and then
he broke 90 out of 100. His longest
run of straight hits was between the
seventh and eighth hundreds, when he
broke III balls without a miss. He
made run of III straight hits be-
tween the second and third hundreds;
101 between the fifth and sixth, and
LOG between the sixth and seventh.
After accomplishing the feat "Tep"
was warmly congratulated on all
sides. He complained of his left arm,
which was completely tired by the
severe strain from the constant weight
of the gun.
The objects shot at were small clay
discs 2l15 inches in diameter and not
glass balls. The discs were smaller
than the balls and are more difficult
to hit, owing to the fact that they can
only be hit from the side.

TEP'S NEW RECORD.
HE BREAKS e7e GLASS BALLS OUT
OF A THOUSAND.
Surpasses His Former Record Ct 955 Out
of 1000 and Establishes his Sec
ond Worlds Accord.

San Antonio holds another worlds
record, and Adolph Toepperwein
made il with his little rifle.
The Light announced last week that
.Tep" would try to beat his record of
breaking glass balls, which was 800
out of 1000, made two years ago.
This record has been unsurpassed, the
highest up to that time being 945 out
of 1000, made by Annie Oakley, of
Buffalo Bills Wild West show.
Yesterday was the date for "Tep'
to establish his new record. And it is
world beater. 1t was made at San
Pedro park yesterday afternoon in the
presence of about two hundred peo-
pie.
Attired in well-fitting suit of gray
with cap to match, the young cham
pion made his appearance, and was
cheered by his friends.
He had two rifies-22 calibre Win
chester repeaters-so that there would
be no delay in reloading. Besides this
the constant use of one rifle would so
heat the barrel that the gun could
hardly be handled.
After a final inspection of the guns
"Tep' gave the order to ''let 'er co."
and tine new record was on.
The balls were thrown in the air at
a distance of twenty feet from the
shooter and reached height of about
twenty-five feet. Louis Heuermann
kept the score.
The balls were thrown as fast as he
could shoot, and he broke 4S9 of thhe
first 500, which is quite score itself,
missing only II balls of that number.
A noteworthy fact is that he shot
the last 500 balls with but one rifle in
use. The sight of the other rifle
broke off after he had shot 200 and he
had to finish with but one gun, which
often became so hot from constant
shooting that he could hardly hold 1t.
But this did not prevent him from
making his new record which is $40
out of 1000. Here is his record out
of every possible hundred:
