THE LAMP OF FAITH.

Matthew Arnold once said that the
duty and privilege Of his lie consist
ed in bearing toward the lamp of life
for his fatheR So, believe, you and
l should take this lamp of faith that
our fathers lighted, should fill it and
quicken it and make it more glowing,
and should not only press it faithful
ly to our breasts, that it may guide
our individual feet in the devious
paths of life, but we ought to come
out with it and carry it into the dark
corners of poverty and shame and
sin and human need and suffering,
so that it may become, indeed, not
only light to us, but a slight that
lighteth every one cometh unto the
world."-REv. PAUL REVERE

Next Sabbath evening the Epworth
League service will begin at 6:45 in
stead of Z p. III.
There will be preaching next Sal
bath afternoon at the SchocOpee school
house.
The subjects for next Sunday are
"The meaning of a name" and ''The
problem of Temptation"
1t was a very pleasant privilege
to extend the greetings of our
church to our Presbyterian friends
last Monday evening. These occas-
ions, that bring Us together, help US
forget that we differ, and aid us in
comprehending the greater truth:
that we are one in Jesus Christ.
At this time we call attention to
the fact special revival services will
be held at SchOcopee, Union and at
our church in the order named. We
desire 20 begin at Schocopee about
the middle of Octorber, then go to
Union about November lst and from
the middle of November til we feel
that special efforts are no louger wise,
the work will be carried on at the
church. There is nothing fixed in
this plan. II is only suggestive OF
our purpose. We are looking for
ward to a season of great ref eshing
from the presence of the Lord. We
need it, the community needs it, il
may be had, now is the time; let the
armor be put on; the sacrifices made;
the prayers acsend and God will give
us our hearts desire.
The seventy-fifth anniversary OF
the Presbyterian church recalls the
fact that our church was established
the following year. Many interesting
and suggestive things in the history
of the church life of Milford were
brought out by the speakers, hast
Monday evening. Things no less inn
portant have occurred in the history
of our church. We look forward
with delight to our anniversary day

a hundred killed. Two OF our seamen
were wounded.
I'VE pushed toward TO Anting and en-
gagged the enemy on June l and June a.
nlctfing Il loss of l75. 1here were no
casualties on our side.
Extensive destruction of the railway
in our front having made further ad-
vance by rail impossible, I decided on
June 16 to return to Yang Tsun where
it was proposed to advance by the river
to Peking. After my departure from
Lang Yang two trains left to follow ON
were attacked on June Is by boxers and
imper.al troops from Pek.ng, who lost
from four TO five hundred kil~d. Our cas-
ualties were six killed and As wounded.
Ths Sc trains joined me at lang Tsun the
/ same evening.
The railway at Yang Tsun was found
entirely demolished and the trains could
not be moved. The force being short of
! irovisions and hampered with wounded
compelled us to withdraw on Ten Tsih,
With which we had not been in com
munication for six days and our supplies
had been cut off
"On une 19 the owunded, with neces-
saries, started by boat, the forces march
ng alongside the river. Opposition was
experienced during the who.e course of
the river from nerly every village, the
boxers, whsn defeated in one village re-
firing to the next, and skillfully retardng
ur advance by occupying well selected
positions from which they had to be
ed often at the point of the bayonet
and in face of a calling fire tfcult to
locate.
ION June %, we made night march,
arriving at daybreak opposite the imperi-
al armory, above Tfen Tsin, where, after
friendly advance, a treachlrous heavy
fire was opened, while our men were ex-
posed on the opposite liver bank. The
enemywere kept in check by rifle fire in
front, while their position was turned

Mai. johnson, who rushed and occupied
one Of the salient points, seizing the guns.
The Germans, lower down, silenced two
guns and then crossed the river and cap

pied by the combined forces. Determined
attempts to retake the armory were
made on the following day, but unsuc-
cessfully.
Found immense stores of guns, arms
and ammunition of the latest pattern.
Several guns were mounted in our de-
fense and sheled the Chinese forces
