"Arlie" Latham, the same old "Larh" Of
by-gone days, also reached the hotel late in
the afternoon. He looked in excellent
health and there was plenty of evidence to
show that his popularity is not on the
wene He was the centre of a group Of
ballplayers, fans, and newspaper men,
and, judging from the peals Of laughter
that were heard. Arlie's fund of humor and
his inimitable manner of relating a good

CHRISTIAN CHURCH
An Able Sermon Delivered YeSfer-
 day by Rev. Ferguson.

At the Church of Christ, yesterday
 sen, took for the bible lesson the if
 teenth Psalm, calling special attention to the latter part of the chapter, from | the thirteen to the sixteenth verse, in elusive. He spoke in part as follows:
 T want you to note what a sensible request that is of the Psalmist, De liver my soul from the wicked One is minded of the prayer of Solomon. that God would give him wisdom: he did
 not ask for long life and riches, but for
 wisdom to do the duties that were upon him. How beneficial the answer of this
 prayer would be to David! I do not
 know who these enemies were, as he
 does not here tell us, but some have
 with good reason conjectured that they
 were King Saul and his following who
 were seeking the life of David. Where
 is the man who would not voice this
 prayer of the psalmist? If this con- lecture is right, that these enemies of
 David were Saul and his party, then
 they were political enemies, and the hatred and enmity engendered in pol itics is a very bad kind. But there are
 other, enemies that are worse than these, and I am not sure that David did not include some of them also. Himself, the propensities of the flesh. On one special occasion these things came near ruining him. And so it has been with many; I am my own worst enemy, is more often true than we think of
 What a sensible prayer, then, De liver me from the wicked my enc mics. All wicked men are my enc mics; they may not mean to be so, but if I follow their influence and example I shall be just as they are, or perhaps worse.
 But David specifies somewhat who these wicked are. which is the sword of the Lord This would seem to in dicate that they were enemies without. l Csuch as Shimei, who came out and cursed David when he was fleeing from ! the revolt headed by his son Absalon. | lie would not let them stop the man, | and acknowledged that the Lord had | allowed him to do as he was doing. | David knew that he ought to be ! cursed. and that Shimei was a sword. i But he prayed for God to deliver him from these swords, and so let us pray. but at the same time let us depart from the evil that we are being chas- tised for engaging in.
 But David further describes these wicked: They were men whose DOT ton in this life is the world, whose belly is filled with treasure. who are with their children, and who cave what they have piled up through fife to them. How easy man is filled who is full when he has the things of this life in abundance. The Master said, speaking of the things of this 7orld, After all these things do the Ientiles seek; but seek ye the king |.

AT THE CHURCHES
Rev. C. V. COWdn Delivers
 Ills First Sermon.
Interesting Services af inc First Methodist Church Bethany His sion Holds Novel exerCiSeS-Re- sumo Of Yesterdays Sermons.

A large audience attended the ser
 vices at the Methodist Episcopal church yesterday morning and extended
 the new pastor, Rev. c. V. Cowan, late
 of Newton, Iowa, a most cordial and
 generous greeting. Rev. MT. Cowan
 took for his text II Kings x, Is: Give me thy hand" preaching a sermon on the exceIlencies of the habit of shak- ing hands. At the conclusion of the sermon he stated that he desired to meet each one of the congregation in dividually and grasp each one by his or her hand. The congregation took him at his word and for nearly a half hour immediately following the bene- diction Rev. MT. Cowan was kept in tensely busy at this pleasant task. It is doubtful if there was any one in the congregation who did not press for ward to the altar and introduce him. self. l E
 In his preamble to the sermon proper Rev. MT. Cowan said that he has been reminded of the significance of the beautiful fable of the Phoenix bird. He had supposed that in keeping with the fable the bird was dead, but after passing through recent events he had come to the conclusion that it's body was living here, one wing stretching to- ward Bishop Ninde and the other to Bishop McCabe. Its body, said the speaker, came flying toward him in his home in Iowa.
 Friday, a week ago. he continued, "a telegraphic message came to me: Will you accept the transfer and take the Phoenix charge? We must know today As I walked to the telegraph office, prayed in my heart, Oh, God. lead me to right decision The bird hovered over my heart as I prayed to God for direction. By appointment of the church and the leading of Gods spirit I am here this morning."
 Rev. MT. Cowan thereupon announced his text in the words: Give me thy hand" After briefly referring to the context he plunged into his subject, explaining in a general way that the mode of salvation differs in different countries. He cited the various ori- ental fashions in this regard, referring ] to the custom of lowing low ! to the ground. In the civilization of ! the west, the ordinary way is to nod the head. When two men, however, i cross hands, he said, it means that ! they are meeting together in the hu- man equality of Christian brotherhood |

grace of GCd; for we are changed into the same image from glory to glory even as of the Lord the spirit I like the way Drummond has interpreted this: We are changed into the same image from character to character, even as of the Lord the spirit It is not an instantaneous change; it is a character change, and that is a growth. a growth in grace and consequently growth in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
 But the last change of this growth into the divine image is wrought not but by the Omnipotent hand.* So this last change is wrought by His own hand through the resurrection from the dead. May our God grant that we may be worthy of that change

morning." he pleaded. 'I would like
 this morning to join hands with all
 Christian workers. Oh. for an empty
 hell and a peopled heaven, as we go
 out to win souls for heaven!"
 The church is not dress parade, he
 said, nor a hospital, but an army to go
 out to do work. If you want to see the
 utility of a threshing machine or har-
 vester, you go out in the field and
 watch it at work. So, to truly see the
 Christian character, you don't go to
 church where it is on exhibition, but out in the world, doing it's work.
 In closing, the new pastor said that eventually the church militant will be met on the road to heaven by the church triumphant. Then there will be handshaking between the brotherhood of common humanity with those re- deemed in God through Christ
 Rev. MT. Cowan is A years old and was born in Oskaloosa, Iowa. He at tended Cornell college and began preaching when only nineteen years old. He has been in the regular min istry for the past twenty years and has been a most successful pastor. In his last charge at Newton, Iowa, he had a church of 600 members ana an attendance at his preaching services of from 700 to 800. He was at Newton for four years and in that time received 300 new members into that church. He has preached all these years in the Iowa conference, his first charge being Otley and then in the order named, MonteZuma Chester, Brooklyn, Keo- saukqua, Centerville and Newton.
 Rev. Mir. Cowan was married at OskaIOOsa, Iowa, to his present wife and has family of four children. Req, his son, is already a young man, being 19 years old. Then follows Mamie. 16 years old; Hazel, 14 years old, and Howard. 9 years old
 The new pastor has already capti vated the hearts of his parishioners. He is a fine pulpit orator, his voice be- ing ample in tone, flexible, expressive and devoid in harsh qualities. He is of medium height, smooth shaven and has a light complexion He is evidently fond of poetry from the face that he read all the verses in a hymn, we in and then requested the choir to sing only three of them. He has not evidently acquired the habit that some | ministers have of announcing merely | the number of the hymn to be sung.
 How does it happen I came to Phoe- | nix?' he said in reply to an inquiry. Well, I rather think Brother o. H. ] Christy is largely responsible. It ap- | pears that he was visiting in my con- gregation at Newton two years ago and again last fAll.''
 It is said that the Newton people were very much exercised over Rev. Mir. Cowan leaving them, although he had served four years in their midst and under fhe rules of the church ! would in all probability have been as signed to work elsewhere. The PhOe- | ?ix church therefore thinks itself for .unate in having secured this talented md popular pastor.
