PREACHED ON INFLUENCE"
Sermon at the Evening Service at
the First Presbyterian.

Sermon at the Evening Service at
the First Presbyterian.
Great interest is shown in the services
held Sunday nights at the First Presby-
terrain Church. Large congregations as
semble to hear the sermons and the excel
lent music that is rendered. Special pains
are taken in the preparation of the pro-
grammes for the music of the services,
and the choir renders it with great sue
cess.
For the last three Sundays the attend
ance upon the services has averaged more
than 325 and the pastor Rev. Arthur j.
Smith. is gratihed by the advance that
has been shown. When he took charge of
the church some two years ago the usual
attendance upon the Sunday night SER
vices was less than 100.
Last night the music was excellent.
Schuberts overture upon the clarionet and
organ. played as a prelude, was beautiful,
and the hymn "Fear Not, Ye, o Israel"
sung by Mrs Mize as an offertory, was no
less so. Many said it was the most beau
tifuI hymn Mrs. Mize has sung.
The sermon was on Influence" The
pastor drew his text from Romans, 14:7:
None of us liveth unto himself" After
a few words of introduction, MIR. Smith
stated his first proposition, that every man
has an influence. No man can be mere
cipher in this world, not even for one day.
He quoted ",The learned blacksmith" Eli
hu Bennett: mo human being can come
into this world without increasing or de-
creasing the sum total Of human happi-
ness"
He said the most Insignificant insect has
an influence Destroy the earth worm and
YOU break link In the economy of nature
that is almost imparable. Without know
ing it we cause others to
pattern their lives after ours.
He next stated that every mans influence
is immortal. A cynic once said TO
clergyman who was endeavoring to per-
suade him TO become a Christian for the
sake of his influence, that he had no in
fuence. He had never written a book or
painted a picture and that when he died
his influence would die with him If he had
any. The minister responded by telling
him that he had written the book of his
life on every heart he had touched, and
that he had painted his portrait on every
mind. When a mans earthly life closes
his work does not cease. He lives on in
the lives Of others. This Is illustrated by
the influence our dead exert over u.s. Many
a life has been transformed by the MEM
DRY Of a sanity life.
The last point he made was that the In
1uence of every young mans life had tre-
rnendous and sometimes awful possible
ties. "Science tells us that child at play
throwing its arms into the air starts waves
IN the atmosphere that go on and on un-
III they touch the most distant planet, yea.
until they have reached the rim of the uni
verse, IL there be such a rim. So the in
1uence Of life starts waves In motion that
never end until all mankind stands before
God In the judgment" He then appealed
10 all that was noble and best within them
10 see to II that their lives should exert the
best kind Of an influence.

WHISKEY VS.. MEDICINE.
Under War Revenue Law Only One
Whiskey Is Taxed As Medicine.

Under the new revenue stamp law whis-
kies are exempt from taxation. but medl-
eines are taxed. 1t is a notable fact in
connection with this truth that there is
one whisky which is acknowledged by the
government TO be a medicinal whiskey
and which is therefore, stamped
This unusual exception is made in the
case or Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. the
government recognizing its medicinal quail
ties, which do not belong TO any other
whiskey. 1t is a complete confirmation of
what has been known to the medical pro-
fesslon and scientists for many years,
nancy, that Duffys Pure Malt Whiskey
IS a medicinal whiskey as different from
other kinds of bottled WHISTLES as strong
medicinal waters are different from or,
binary waters; as different from other
Whistles as medicinal preparation can
