expounder Of the Bible and he Is doing
much good in these morning services.
At 1880 Rev. John Beddow, of Cam
eron. preached one Of the very best
sermons thus far during the meeting
from the words: $50 David preached
over the PhllIstlne with sling and q
stone; but there was no sword in the
hand of David" He said In part some
what as follows:
The Bible story of the giant killer Is
worthy to be taught by all parents to
their children. It would be much more
profitable than the story Of Jack, the
Giant Killer" BY the relation Of this
and other Bible stories, a love for the
Bible and its teachings could be crea-
ted in the mind of the child, that could
not be done in any other way. We learn
from this story that Gods people had
enemies in those days, among whom
were the PhllIstlnes. There were giants
in those days. Is It true that we are
losing in physical strength, as to-day
giants are the exception? Then 1t seems,
there were many. David was sent by
his father to see how the boys, his
brothers Jared, for they were soldiers in
the army Of Israel. The fare was very
homely consisting of parched corn.

the Bible account, the latter being what
we call smell kase" or cottage cheese

must have miuce pie, tellies. canned
goods and all the delicacIes of the sea-
son. The preacher here feticitousiy
remarked that the veterans of 1896
could and did fight nobly on black cof-
fee. beans, bareback and fitch. At
this quite a laugh was caused in the en-
tire audience. The subject of the dis
course was Davld's three victories!
First, over self in that he did not be-
come offended at the chidings of his
brothers. Second, over the prevailing
customs. 1t was customary to fight
giants clad in armor, but sauls armor
would not At David, and SO he went
forth to meet the giant with a sling
and a stone. Third, the Victory over the
giant-so we can gain victories in life's
battles. II we 90 manfutiy forward and

sermon and gave the very closest atten-
lion from first to last.
At $3.50 the young peoples meeting
was conducted by Mrs. HILL and DR..
yocurn gave a very instructive talk.
The young people and children who
come together consist almost entirely
nj girls. Where are the boys? A song
and prayer service was conducted In
the evening by Rev. stnrkey. who also
gave a very affecting talk relating sew
erai very touching Incidents. DR..
Iambest preached from the words:
"For We know the grace Of our Lord Je-
sus Christ, who for your sakes became
moor that you, through his poverty
might become rich" He spoke in part
as follows: To understand the import
os these words we must have all the as
