monster that now staggered cluiDsily into
the room, supported on each side by his
second and sword bearer. The thick armoi
of leather and wadding with which he was
bolstered entirely protected bis body and

high, thick collar of silk and whipcord,
and his eyes were protected by iron gog-
giles as large as small teacups, from which
a strap passed round the ears to be buckled
at the back of the head. His second was
somewhat similarly equipped and In ad-
dition wore a leather cap with strong
iron peak. The other principal presently
entered the room and took up his position
at one swords length from Zimmerman.

first gladly renewed the welcome Of nearly
year ago to the County Union Convention.
His topic "Rejecting Christ, and Its conse'
quences," was outlined under six separate
points, how Christ presented the true life in
Himself, viz: II am the Light Of the world,
am the bread of life. am the door, am
the good Shepherd, the only Foundation"
and the words of Peter. There is none other
name under heaven given among men where
by We must be saved, but the maine of Jesus"
Summing by stating that many are satisfied
with earthly ambitions and attachments. but
reject Christ, with the consequences of starv'
ing the soul against the enjoyment Of that
better life, prepared by Him for us. The
Open Parliament was responded to by Mr..
Ezra Zimmerman OF Emmi,sburg, Mr.. Chas.
Stocksdale Of Thurmont. Mr.. John T. Coli
flower Of Graceham, Mr.. Chas. Stokes of the
Y.P.C u, United Brethren church, Thur
mont and MIR. Cornelius Derr of Creagers-
town.
Rev. Chas. Re,newald was then introduced
and quoted the text, awake, awake; put on
thy strength, o Zion," his topic being "How
Can We Strengthen Our Christian Lite"
Noting that the enemy we should guard
against does not come with trumpet and
revelry, hcralding his approach, but often As
angel of light, quoting the sayings Of Christ
concerning Peter, that satan desired to slit
him as wheat. but have prayed tor thee that
thy faith fail not, and when thou art con.
verified strengthen thy brethren; that there
was nothing grander than the strength of the
Christian life. Illustrating by the picture OF
two homes, one of almost poverty, and the
other OF wealth and affluence, the lowly
earnest christians and the other seeking only
the pleasure of this life, what a difference in
the response to the call of needed aid In the
church. Speaking also of the closing of a
life that has lived only of this world, noting
the influence of the christian upon Sunday
observance, and the attendance upon church
services, doing that we ought then, rs well
AZ heing able to do on Monday what we
wish, closing his remark by the wish that
we would prize our privilege by attendance
upon Gods services.
Five minute talks by Presidents and
Junior Superintendent were responded to
with brief reports from the different societies
of the manner in which their meetings were
conducted.
Rev. Asper said as he was the next speaker
he would omit that part of the programme,
believing that if we carried home with us
that which we had already received, it would
be well. The service then closed by a con-
secration service with one response from
each society.
Thus closed meeting Of which we should
look forward for an early repetition as they
help TO strengthen the interest Of the men,
bers, and attract the attention of those who
are not members to the G. E. Work.
