INSTALLATION SERVICES.

Installation services were held at the
Presbyterian church, in this city, last
Sunday morning. The installation ser
mon was preached by Rev. Geo. II. Eddy,
pastor of the Boonville church, from the
text found in LIST Timothy, Sd chapter and
9th verse. Mr.. Eddy is a pleasant speaker,
and his address was an able one, and
listened to with marked attention by a
large audience.
At the close of the sermon, Rev. II. b.
Banks questioned, first the pastor and
then the congregation, as to their will
ingness to enter into the relation of
pastor and people, after which DIR. T.. &.
Gordon was pronounced regularly elected
and installed pastor of the Lexington
church.
The charge to the pastor was then given
by Rev. Mr.. Banks, in the words of Pau
to Timothy: "Preach the word"
whether men hear or whether they
forbear. He stated that when Christ, the
great preacher, was on earth, some who
heard Him believed, and some believed
not; so IL was in the clse of Paul, and
doubtless it would ever be. lie gave as
some OF the reasons why he should
preach: First, because an so doing lie
should save men from their sins; Of
woridliness, selfiShness, aVarice, unkind
criticism, malice, etc. Second, he would
cheer and comfort the people of God and,
week by week, drive away care by the
promises of God's word. Third, he would
pluck sinners as brands from the burning.
He said hat if Gods word does not save,
nothing else will. and urged him to
nraaah in faith foaro anl nro,,
Rev. Geo. Il. Eddy, in an inn ressive
manner, then addressed the people. lie
said that a minister is what the congrega-
ton makes him; that he will succeed or
fail, as the congregation does or neglects
its duty. He charged them to be: First,
a praying church.; to pray for the pastor,
their friends and the church. Second, to
be a hearing church; to hear with both
ears, and with their own ears, not those
of others. He told them that there was
greater need for ideal hearers than for an
ideal preacher; if they were going to get
anything good out OF the sermon they
must put an investment into the sermon
not to listen for the purpose of criticising.
to be a working church; not to be
torgetful hearers, but doors, as there is
work in the church of God for everybody.
He illustrated this by the story of the old
Scotch woman who. when asked if the
was finished, replied: 1.-The SER
mon is spoken, but it is not flushed"
Fourth, to be a loving church. He argued
that the church is a home in which the
of the family are knit together
by ties OF affection; that the love of God
flow freely into our hearts when
We cherish feelings of envy or strife.
Fifth, to be a winning church. He stated
that il these other conditions are fulfilled,
will follow. A praying, hearing,
working, loving church must necessarily
be q winning church, and those outside
will be attracted.

WAR NEWS Condensed.

The Manila expedition seems well on
the way TO the Philippines.
Patriotic men are responding readily
to the presidents second call for vol
u~nteers.
A leading Spanish naval officer ex-
PLAINS at length how Dewey whipped
them. Well, that's easy.
The usual rumors this week of inter
VentIOn by France, Austria and Russia.
They can get IN the game if they are
spelling for a ''serap."
The navy department is about to
expend $50, 900 900 for new ships.
Three will be first class battleships and
the others, thirty-seven in all, will be
fast cruisers, monitors and torpedo
boats.
Another crisis Is reported in Madrid.
That's been the principle trouble in
Madrid since Dewey showed them how
the thing can be done. There will be
a crisis about Santiago de Cuba and
Havana before long.
1t is reported that President McKin-
icy haa OiiClCu pPaih H
of peace, proposing to give them back
the Philippines and not take Porto
Rico, if they will give up Cuba. Don't
be too fresh, Mack. Take the strings
off of Sampson and Schley and don't
consult Spain about Cuba just yet
awhile. The Maine is not yet avenged.
Nothing startling has developed this
week in the war situation. Sohley
seems to be off Santiago de Cuba,
keeping anSeye IN Admiral Cervera,
who has nicely bottled himself up In
that harbor. Schley has with him the
Brooklyn (iagship), Iowa, Massachu-
setts, and Texas, the auxiliary cruiser
St. Paul and some other smaller vessels
making about ten in all.
1t is reported from GIbralter that a
large consignment of Krupp guns suit
able for forts and battleships has been
shipped from Essen, Germany, 10
Cadiz. They were passed through the
German, FRENCH and Spanish custom
houses as ''kItchen furniture" A liltle
we can probable use some of this
''kitchen furniture" In our business,
and it is probably just as well to let
Spain pay for 1t.
