going through his pockets.
Mr.. Allen recognized the intruder
to be Levi Wilson, the man with
whom he had spent the night, and
from whose home he had left a little
while before. Wilson had followed,
and, by cutting through the woods,
had got ahead Of him. Allen tol d
Wilson not to kill him and he would
give him all the money he had. and

BE RELIGIOUS.

The Reverend Doctor H. u.

discourse IN the special series to

church in st. Louis Sunday night,
his subject being, ''The Young
Manhood for the Times" selecting
for text, watch We, stand fast
in the faith; quit you like men. be
strong" ICor. xvi, 10.
Doctor Henderson said in part:
"This is the young mans age.
1t is the grandest cycle in the
sweep of the millenniums.
"We are heirs of all the ages;
in the foremost file of time. A de-
cade now is more than a century
in Methuselah's times. No era
has been marked by such startling
discoveries. The dizzy pageant OF
progress passes like a gilded
dream. We are dazed by the
splendid triumphs of the hour.
Notwithstanding the wonderful
strides of the present one can de-
vine, without the ken of the seer,
still mightier achievements for the
future.
The twentieth century bids fair
to eclipse the glorious wonders OF
its dead predecessor, and to stand
triumphant in its phenomenal
progress. What victories are to
be won, what heights are to be
scaled, what results are to be ac-
complished in this grandest epoch
of human history.
81 wish tonight to urge my
Young friends to rise and meet the
imperative demands of the hour
and to prepare to keep step with
the martial notes of present day
progress. The this end we invite
your attention to the study of
1.-THE manhood for the times. !"
Let us consider the three Pauline
rules laid down in the text, BE
Vigilant, Watch ye.
1.-THE young man for the hour
must be wide awake. Life is no
sleepy hollow experience, but an
arena of strenuous endeavor. You
must be alert, or you will fail.
Thousands are striving for the
same prize and searching for the
same goal, and unless you bestir
every energy of your being, you
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1902-12-19

will be out-stripped in the race
and fail to obtain IFS coveted
rewards.
"Guard against temptations.
Life is full of the tempter's wiles.
Siren songs entice and the charms
Of sin allure, and unless the un-
wary youth beware he will be
shared into the meshes of sin.
Avoid the first drink. Remember
the wrecks strewn along the shores
of the sea of time by the demon of
alcohol. Shun the first game of
cards. Think of vortex into which
the vessel of the gambler is en-
quilted.
'sWatch for opportunities. The
adage is true. Time and tide
wait for no man. Life's golden
opportunities come to all. Watch
for them. Woo them. Take the
tide at it's fioodside to fortune.
Do not sit down and wait for sue
cess. Fortune is a lazy goddess.
She will never come to you.
'Be up and doing. Make toll
your talisman and duty your am
ulet. Be religious. Stand fast
in the faith Do not think it
manly to sheer at religion, nor in
dependent to doubt, nor intelli-
gent to be agnostic. John
McNeill, the Scottish evenge
list, says: Some people wear
their doubts like a cockade in their
caps, as badge of intellectual
superiority The Duke of Wei
lington said: If you educate the
intellect Of men alone you make
them but clever devils. The old
lady sileneed the arch agnostic,
Ingersoll, when she replied to his
question; what has religion ever
done for the State of Illinois9' by
saying, 1T kept you from being

"Stand fast by the religious
principles, my young friends, that
have made this magnificent West
ern civilization of ours possible.

Christian manhood.

ages his boar was second. He sold
yearling bull for SOS and his fat
steer was fourth in it's class. His
boar brought him $21 in premiums,
and he sold it for Sis. His gelt
brought him $3.50, premium SIS

gathers the following from DIR.
McRee's race for Speaker:
DR.. McRee, of Union City, passed
the day in the city yesterday. He is
one of the best-known men in this
section of the state and is prominently
identified with the Presbyterian
Church work. He is now a candidate
for speaker of the house and is making
an earnest and intelligent fight for re-
c0Fnition. He has been in way
identified with politics and is hoping
to serve his state and county well DUR
ing the coming session. DR.. Mckee
has been a candidate for some time,
but in the first heat of excitement
growing out of the duel between
Austin Peay and Col. Tyson, he was
for short while lost to public view.
He has rallied rapidly and is now
going over the ground carefully and
expects in the event Of the two leaders
continuing their fight to secure the
advantage that usually comes to the
dark horse.
