TO YOUNG MEN
Rev. n. W. Moore preached yeste~-
day to large houses as usual. His -
course last night was to young men,
from the text, Nov when Jesus come
near 10 the gate of the city, behold,
there was a dead man carried out. the
Ouly son OF his mother, and she was Il
wiIoU."
The speaker said: One of the sad
est sighj- Of this world is the death OF
d young man. We are not shocked at
the death OF the aged, but when the
young lie. we can see an hundred rca-
sons why they should have lived ana
hardly one why have died. Such
hopes, such aspira ions and plans do
trey have. The value OF sympathy is
too uJUls priced in the world; too much
estimate Is placed on brains
and rot enough on the
heart. The widowed mother had
much people with her. TO ease her in
her grief. Then speaking of the prec
iOlsnesa Of Cur.st's word, weep not"
and the wCndrOu5 fact that there is
in our lives which shaped
events-sinca the DAY before Jesus was
p miles away AZ CIparnaum, bat was

TINS is an age OF young men. Every

The world wants young men of mora
