Matters of purely, at least largely, of
individual interest. become the in

don't like to be bCssed. They ali want
to be boss-from the jolly tarrier on
the ''siction" to the cultured diplomat
at the court of ST. James. People raj

an unholy war, as it is waged. Were
the fight made against machine boss

the demands of the maIcontents. But
for old Dan Anthony to single out an
ancient enemy, dub him boss and
under this leadership rally the dis
gruntled crew. making his ancient
fight theirs, is wrong. If there is a
just cause to be urged against Cy Lee

EVANGELISM.
How to Overcome What Jesus, the
Christ, Did.

Inc prayer service in the afternoon
was largely attended and was led by a
brother of the church of the River
Brethren. Evangelist Thomson
preached an excellent sermon on
chow to Overcome Temptation. "
Strain yourself to see, to hear and to
think of God. Set the Lord always
before thee. That will give conf
dence and make temptations less.
Never fight temptation face to face,
but turn to the face Of God, be filled
with the Spirit, know your Bible and
wait on God in prayer.
Mr.. Thomson told of the sad news
he heard in the morning by letter and
by person. One told of the death by
suicide Of an old man who Knocked at
a religious meeting year ago, the
other told Of the death of our beloved
DR.. Fulton. The contrast between
the life and the death OF these men is
suggestive. "Let me die the death of
the righteous and let my last end be
like his"
Mr.. Thomson's sermon last night
was a powerful plea for giving the
heart to Christ A great solemnity
pervaded that vast audience Yet
souls seemed to turn from the Lord
and Saviour. 1t is sad.
Praise is due the choir for its faith
fulness and good service. Whether
in one grand chorus or in two they
hold on in the church and in the hall |
Noble young people they are to stand
SO faithfully by the work
The death of DR.. Fulton cast
shadow over all. The dear, good
man is missed. Fifty-five of his
eighty-two years of pilgrimage were
given to the Gospel ministry. A light
among us has gone out He was
big hearted brother who loved Christ
and his fellowmen. He it was who
first called for this union evangelistic
meeting. To it he gave all his ener-
gy' At every opportunity for volun-
tary prayer or testimony he was first
to speak. OF the abundance of his
heart his mouth spake. And into the
fullness Of Gods love he hath gone.
"Servant Of God, well done.' "Bles-
sed are the dead who die in the Lord"
