an advance of Hal Is per cent. took
place. The frmness at this time was
partly the result Of a reduction in the
posted rates Of sterling exchange of Pc,
TO $l.SJds1S7 1-2, and partly TO the fact
that the bears did not continue their
raid OF Saturday. The loss in the st.

the knowledge, that 50 many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease. but simply 10 constipated condi-

family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt

everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due TO the fact, that II Is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get IFS bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that YOU have the genuine aru-
Gle. which is manufactured by the Cali

PROF. wILLETTs BIBLE INSTITUTE
He Delivers TWO Lectures mt Assoc
ciatfon KaII--seryices To-day.


The promised series OF Bible studies at
the Young Mems Christian Association
Hall, under the direction Of DR.. II. l..
Wnletts. Of Chicago University, began
Yesterday at noon. Professor Willetts
comes to Richmond at the instance Of the
Woman's Mission Board, Of Seventh
Street Christian church
The theme of the noon service was
abraham" and the light Of a very clooo
and thorough study was thrown upon the
man from whose loins God raised up
that people who were to be the custo-
dians of his truth. Time didn't permit to
follow every step Of this man,
chosen Of God. but wherever the speak
er's finger was laid. a revealing light
awakened the old sheik of the plains into
life.
There was another such instructive lee
ture last night on the life Of Moses"
and the great law-giver stood before the
minds of the speakers audience in very
bold and impressive relief.
This morning DR.. Willetts will preach at
Seventh-Street Christian church, and
I'm the evening at s o'clock he Will con-
duct the service at Marshall-Street Chris
tian church. At 4 o'clock he will
conduct lhe men hIect'hS 81 '"O
ISOLATION Hall. and these exercises will
be of rare opportunity and attractiveness.
In manner and style of presentation,
Professor Willetts is attractive. His
treatment is analytic, but he makes all
the dissection himself and the hearer is
surprised that he never saw 1t In that
light before. His plan is to take some
life in Bible story and raise it in bold
relief. around which the circumstances
which gives to other men a kindred feel
ing are made to cluster
