A twenty months daughter OF
Mrs. August Hagerman of South Bend,
was kidnapped about noon Friday.
She had placed it in hammock In the
yard while she was preparing dinner
and when she looked for 1t, it was gone.
The police were called but as yet have
not discovered the child. 1t is thought
that strange girl who was seen about
the house, is responsible for the disap-
pearace of the baby, though few think
gypsies took 1t.

Jude, verse "a, "To Him who is able
to keep you from falling was the text
of the morning sermon. The christian
occupies dangerous position. He may
fall into erroneous views which will re-
suit in disaster to the soul. Such will
be the case if he is led to believe that
the final reward of the righteous
and unrighteOus will be the same or if
he concludes that there is no hereafter.
If he does not fall into error of doctrine
he may into error of spirit. He may
lack love in his heart or be may fell in
to unbelief or fsnaticism of self conceit.
Then he is exposed to the danger of
falling into outward sin. But from all
this our Lord is able to keep us. by
His word He instructs us in our duty
and warns us of our danger and by His
Grace he keeps us in the right way.
speaking with profit" was the theme
at night. "Wnat shall | profit you ex-
cept shall speak to you either by revel-
alton or by knowledge or by prophesy-
ing or by doctrine" l Cor. H.: The
truths of Gods word was the basis of
the Apostles teaching and preaching
and so today the preacher should not
get away from the truths of the bible.
But it is not only necessary to speak
with profit but we should also hear with
profit. We should give diligent heed to
the messages that come to rs through
His Word and His servants.

on the one now given by the postofiice.
The greatest change in the system will
be in the giving of receipt with each
order. The receipt will be the exact
fac simile of the original order when
