In accordance with the announcement
of last week, Rsv. F, L. Jewett preached
sermon on Tobacco and Narcotics"
on Sunday evening Despite the rough,
unpleasant weather, good audience
assembled to hear him. Mr.. Jewett
spoke from the text, ''Kuow ye not that

habit and followed it for years, but our
hope lies 10 striving to shield and save
the young. Appropriate literature was
distributed at the close of the meeting.
