Special Service TO Men Only,

Rev. Nath Thompson, of So
nora, who is assisting in the Sc
ries of meetings in progress at
the Methodist church, delivered
q special sermon at the Salvation
Army hall Sunday afternoon to
men only.
The hall was comfortably filled
and the preacher accorded the
best of attention throughout the
service.
Rev. Thompson is one of the
most earnest preachers we have
ever listened to, and his dis
course on this occasion was re-
markable for it's adaptability,
and the force with which he eu-
logized the truths contained in
the sermon. He referred to the
beauties of right living, and
demonstrated the wonderful eff
feet it would have upon business
as well as social conditions. He
scorned the idea that Young
man must, of necessity, adopt
evil practices in order to impress
the world with his manly attain
ments, and stated that the prac-
tice of swearing, drinking and
the like was an eviderce of men,
tai and physical weakness. He
exhorted those present to adopt
the system of living like men, to
do better that the world would be
made brighter, the heart lighter
and homes happier He spoke
of the wonderful influence that
it would have on the community
in suppressing crime, driving out
worthless institutions, and rails
ing the standard OF morality at
this place, the conditions exist
ing in any locality being entirely
controlled by public opinion.
The speaker punctuated his re-
marks with simple and impress
sive anecdotes and illustrations,
expressed in common, every day
language, which added much to
the force of his sermon.
His conclusion was eloquent,
and demonstrated the earnest
ness of the preacher in pointing
his fellow men to q nobler life.
Those who failed to attend most
certainly missed q splendid SER
mon.

Remarks by Mabel.

/ never could gather up much
enthusiasm over those self ap-
pointed moulders of public opin-
ion, the journalists. Their gy-
rations are always amusing, but
now and again is to be met with
one, such an able contortionist
as to appear perfectly inverter-
brate. The editor batter, If
sufficiently skillful, can have rare
fun making the right kind of in
vertebrate eat his own words.
A roast in The Press on Col
liers' brought a protest from the
journal in question, and some
talk was INDUCED in. This week
the Golfers man says: "Some
of our friends down in Texas are
disturbed by an allusion on this
page to a very old and very
feeble joke on their state. We
make haste to say that we sup
posed the Jest was so ancient that
it could be used with perfect
safety. But apparently no joke
has reached an age when some
people will not regard it as a
statement of fact. Let us say in
answer to various, vigorous let.
tiers that we are quite aware that
Texas has many different cli-
mates, ranging from excellent to
heavenly, and all sorts of society,
between good society and the
best" etc. Some time since

man, named w. +. Cullingford.
The recipient became anxious to
discover the writer. He publish
ed q circular in which he remark
ed that doubters most would
"enjoy Mabel's opinion of the
w. T. B. e. 7. S." and sent il
around to his friends. The let
ter, with appended notes, at
length reached The Press office,
and it is a highly interesting
document.
One, Francis B. Livesey, OF
Maryland, says: 81 knew the
w. r. b. & T. S. 1t is a full
fledged fraud" A Miss Mabel
Clifford, of Penn, denies the soft
imputation of being the author
ess of the article.
Mr.. Cullingford's remarks are
very pithy and logical, and de-
serve fuller mention than we are
able to accord them. Most GER
tainly it has been shown that in
case of need, the Presbyterian
party would suffer from no lack
of friends in the controversial
battle which the w. T. B. & T,
