Did You 90 te Church Yesterday?

| Did You 90 to Church Yesterday?
We wonder how many OF the church
members can answer the question In
the affirmative today. OF course 1t
4 was . rainy, bad day. but didn't you
feel that you needed the sermon the
same yesterday as you did clear day :?
There were two OF us worldly men
yesterday that braved the storm and
went to church and heard Rev Mac
Allister-a better sermon than you
would have heard in maha or Chi
cago. Think of it, q sermon that you
would go hundreds of miles to hear II
it had been advertised that one of the
great preachers of the East was going
to preach. But you would have heard
q better sermon if you had gone to the
Presbyterian church in the Valley
yesterday. OF course it ralned yes
terday. DO you suppose it was good,
clear day every day that Christ lived
in Gallilee? DO you think it was clear
weather when He fed the multitudes
on the loaves and fishes. If it had
been rainy day on the Sea of Gallile
a half dozen fishes and basket of
bread, "a small baskeU would have
filled the crowd If they had been like
Mo Valley church members. When
there is a preacher like Mo Valley has
in her Presbyterian church there
should be crowd every time he
breaches. We haven't told you all we
think in this sermon but will see you
again tomorrow.
The wrecker and crew from the rail

General De Ia Rey is one of the
boer leaders for whom everyone has
felt a touch of sympathy, for like Lord

fathers side at Modder River.
Mayor NlcNamee of Cambridge,
Mass told the scholars at Webster
grammar school the other day that he
hoped none of the boys would ever
become mayor and none of the girls
the wife of q mayor. He said he could
wish them no greater injury than that
any of the boys should become q de-
mocratic mayor of q republican city.
1t is claimed that Representative
Littlefield of Malneis the fastest talk
or i'm the house. He is . terror to the
official stenographers. Henry u
Johnson of Indiana, who served sew.
eral terms in congress, was probably
the fastest speaker ever in the house.

gets very close to the BOD mark.
