ii was impossible to realize the full
glory of that future. Going on, the
minister declared that in his opinion
no one knows of the fullness of the
future life and it is better that it is
so, for the power of realizing the
truth would rob us of part of the
pleasure TO come. Among the things
we do know, the minister said, we
are certain that we shall be with
Christ, we shall see him, we shall
share his glory and eXhaltation and
we shall be like him.
As his closing thought Rev. Reed
advised his hearers to endeavor to
fully appreciate the present but to
keep an eve also to the future ever
ODE wing the impulses that make for
the right. Neither should anyone,
he said, be contented with merely at
tanning heaven for himself, but he
should always try to help others to-
ward that goal.
Following the morning service Rev
Reed was formally welcomed in be-
half of the congregation by j. w
Wclch and he responded in happily
chosen terms.

Rev. Reed expressed the JOY he ex-
pericnced al being able 10 return To
regular church work after the period
Of nearly two years spent in the ser
vice of the church in Chicago.
The text of the sermon was taken
from the first epistle of John. third
chapter and second verse: Beloved.
now are we the SONS of God: and il
doth not yet appear what we shall
he; but we know that. when he shall
appear we shall be like him. for we
shall sec him as he is by way of
preface Rev. Reed said he was es-
pccially fond of the words of John,
for that disciple appears TO him to
have been nearer to- Christ than either
of the others and his teachings seem
to interpret the messages of the
Son of Man with the greatest fidelity.
Quotations from the scriptures were
given in proof of this assertion.
Deals with Present aud Future.
The text was divided by the speak
er into two parts, that which dealt
with our present relations with the
divine one, and that which dealt with
relations of the future. The first
part was shown To- be "A message of
the utmost Importance, declaring in
substance that we are now the chill
dren of the Lord. Our faith need not
be tested, for as soon as we believe
we enter into the full enjoyment
thereof. Not through any power of
ourselves nor through any virtue, but
through divine grace alone. Pass
ages Of scripture and instances i'm
life were referred to- in showing the
grace.
In speaking Of the future Rev. Reed
said he believed John did not facan
literally that he did not know what
he should be, but that ne knew that

simply a good soaking rain at this

took the nature of "A cloudburst and
considerable damage was done.
An exceedingly heavy cloud rolled

the morning and when the storm
broke il was accompanied by wind

the damage. Bridges were washed

An Old Story.

An Ohio paper publishedes the
following. which is very applicable
in any community
Persons who have never held
place in the court house hav,7 little
idea how county officials are an
noyed by beggars and solicitors OF
every kind. Scarcely a day passes
but they are besieged by people
who want help for themselves or
some pet project. Every body
seems To think that because men
are in public Office, either as chief
or deputy, his salary belongs to the
public and he is bound to dispense
it when called upon. In addition
to these is the church committee,
and the fellows that are running
for the most popular man. or the
"most esteemed young lady" at
some church or society function.
There is scarcely a church in the
county and hardly n festival, re :
ligious or social, that has not
drawn into its Golfers contributions
from the same source. The custom
is wrong and ought to be stopped.
These officials earn theif money by
their labor and the responsibility
they incur. and they should not be
made the prey of every scheme that
chooses to lay tribute upon them !.

 The visit of the miners chief to New York continues to arouse interest. No word of his movements in New York has been received here, and there Is much speculation as to what caused him to go there.

CASTRO CHANGES PLANS
WILL ASSUME OFFENSIVE
 AGAINST REBELS.
Force of 5000 Men Under the Brother of the President Routed by the Revolutionists
 Under Rolando.

Willemstad, July 7.-President Castro of Venezuela left Caracas Sunday. not for Valencia as has been previously an nounced, but for LaGunicia. taking with him his private guard of 800 veteran sol diers and General Ferrer as chief,pf staff. The President reached LaGuacla at o'clock in the afternoon and left there at midnight on the steamer Ossum, his des- tination being Gunta or Barcelona, about 15O miles east of LaGuira.
 He intends to reorganize the govern ment forces at Barcelona and assume the offensive against the revolutionists at once.
 Nobody at Caracas can explain this change in President Castros plans and the step taken Is considered to be as perilous as the invasion of the Valencia district by the main army of the revolu- tionists. This force will be opposed by the Government army under General Ze- frino Castillo.
 Later in the day news reached here from Venezuela to the effect that 3000 government troops under General Mo- disto Castro. the Presidents brother. were routed July 3, between Barcelona and Aragua by troops of the revolution ary army under General Rolando. The government forces lost their ammunition and equipment and many of the soldiers deserted to the revolutionary army. which moved on Barcelona.
 The inhabitants are panic stricken, the shops were closed and the streets barri- caded.
