was hard one to lose. Up to the ninth
inning the score had been close, and the

but the Waterloo came with thud. The
boys went to pieces, the St. Us helped
themselves to the pie, and before the inn

up runs enough to come out ahead. This
game going against the Montpelier team
makes its chances for the cup rather du.

work of Rev. DR.. Buckner, the super
intendent of the Buckner Home at Dali
LIS, t. xt was TAX en-, viz "Pure rel-
father is tbs to visit the fatherless
and widows in their affection. and to
keep himself unspotted from the
world" james I:27.
The spe aker called attention to how
much we are in the habit of looking
out for those who are dear to us rather
than for those who are distant but WI Q
ought to be. The Buckner's home Is q
striking Instance of practical Chr ist IAN
ity, and shows that business principle
from a worldly point of view, are not
lible in spiritual relations. DR..
Buckner has been criticised as not con-
Quoting his establishment on business
principles; but he has succeeded, and
even made improveuen when there
was no money in sight to operate with.
The Home is really pOn-sectarian, al
though conducted under Baptist aus
pices. The speaker cited a number of
instances showing how economically
the Institution WAS conducted. There
are about 375 pupils in the Home, add
he cost of feeding the children is fa-
less than " hat one would expect Mr..
Millicsn read a list of sta sites giving
interesting facts about the economical
conduct of the Home and as showing it
was worthy of all confidence.
At the morning service Prof. Bran
nan favored the congregation with
violin solo to organ accompaniment,
and in the evening Miss Windsor sang
q soprano solo.

Sundays meeting of the Y. M. c..
A. was held in Chopin hall as the
Nashville singers were 10 appear ard
sing for the meeting. There were
about 200 men present, but their en- joy
ment of the occasion was abbreviated
and it shortly became so cold that one
of the singers had to leave the stage
and crouchipg in the audience was
noticeable. Six bits worth of coal
would have warmed that house. How
ever, the singing was much enjoyed.
There were brief addresses by Presi-
dent Brown of the Y. M. G. A. by
Willard Patterson and Secretary Sloan
while Rev. Hall of the First Methodist
church led in prayer. Dr.. Brown
called attention to the efforts of the
association 10 the past to pull through
the struggle under adverse circum-
stances, and stated the needs of the
orPaniza tion for the coming year. 1t
was doing such good work in the
community that the business men
ought to respond willingly when
sol cited in the coming months for
their assistance. Mr.. Patterson spoke
on the relation of the business men to
the Y. M. G.. A. After stating that
active membership in some church was
requisite for active membership in the
Y. M. c. A., and a good moral char
aoter for associate membership,
the speaker set forth the
fact that the house Of i'll fame,
saloons and gambling places were pub.
Tic enemies; and it was the duty of the
Y. M. 9. A. to Offset these evils, and
offer higher, purer, and nobler stand
ards Of living, as well as to develop a
Christian character. The Y. M. G. A.
says control your life by the law of
love- It offers truth which is exem-
plifed in the life of Christ. The asso-

The Birth of Christ,

Rev. II. w. Moore preached Sunday
morning in the Presbyterian church
from the text. Now, when Jesus was
born in Is thlehem of Jud a, there
came wise men from the east to Jerus =

king of the Jews fer we have seen his
star in the east and have come to wor-

speak said connected with the birth
Of Jesus our saviour ,here is nothing
mere thrillipely interes,irg and
strangely beautiful than the story of
the pious, scholarly magi who left
their homes hundreds of miles beyond
the desert sands and followed the won

gold, frankiuceuse and myr at the
feet of Christ. Their devotion, their
faith, their search for truth; their fol-
