Christ Is With All,

Rev. A. N. Keigwin preached an
interesting sermon in West Pres
byterian Church on Sunday morning
from the last clause of the Goth
verse Of the 18th chapter of Mat
thew: "Lo, ! am with you always.
even unto the end Of the world.
In his Introductory remarks he re-
ferred to the young Queen OF Aus
tria, who was assassinated a lew
months ago, spendinga season with
a family in a remote portion of that
Kingdom, and on leaving, her host
est refused to accept any consider
alton, but expressed desire for the
Queen photograph. Many months
afterwards, the hostess was greatly
surprised on receiving a handsome
" painted life size likeness of the
Empress, which was very highly
priced. This gift was not compar-
able with the promise of Christ to
be with his people always, even
unto the end of the world. His
presence will sustain the believer
in sickness, want and misfortune.
Trials are permitted for the good
of the sufferers. as it is written,
"those whom the Lord loveth he
chastcneth. Persons should all
realize the presence OF Christ.
Those who have faith can lie down
with wolves and get up with safety,
although wild beasts abound. He
spoke Of the life work of men being
interrupted and the utter failure of
others to carry out their ideas or
perform their part. This was true
of the uncompleted novel of Dickens,
the plan of the architect of the
church OF st. Peter at Rome. While
mans work is left incomplete,
Christ's work will be carried for
ward to completion. Spiritual de-
velopment will 60 forward until all
on earth shall become like Christ.
The missionary association are do
ing commcndablc work, but they
are in debt, and he wished that the
wealthy would open their purses
and place them on sound financial
basis. He could not say what the
immediate result of the strife in the
Philippine Islands would be, the
division of the Chinese empire, or
the eli ort, to develop Africa, but of
one thing all may rest assured, that
tine time will eventually come, when
every knee shall bow and every
tongue confess.

tim Of an amusing series of circumstances

please do 80. He tried, but also failed.
Finally he took the revolver down to tho
cellar and fired the five shots at the foun-
dalton wall, and then, returning up
stairs, gave the revolver to tho boy.
As Klingler was going down stairs again
no was met by An excited man, who " i'd
ly exclaimed that there had been gas ex-
plosions in the cellar. The man owned tho

There May he a Sea Serpent.

Modern deep sea explorations formed the
subject Of an interesting lecture given at
tho McKcndrce Methodist Episcopal
church recently by G. II. Townsend, who,
as member Of the United States fish
commission, has made number Of trips
in the Atlantic and in the Pacific oceans
on the steamship Albatross.
Mr. Townsend spoke at some length Of
the fabulous sea serpents. If you would
call them sea monsters, he said, he would
by no means dispute the possibility Of
their existence Dredging at great depths
had resulted In the finding of many species
which tho naturalist had classed as OK
tlnot. All of these had been small ami
mails as present methods had not develop
cd so as to obtain the larger ones. Now, IL
is known that In prehistoric times many
sea monsters existed, and while these are
supposedly extinct Mr.. Townsend consid-
crs it by no means improbable that some
of them arc still living in great depths.
Once in awhile perhaps one Of them might
come to tho surface, and In this manner

which most people laugh at could be c1-
