ALBRITToN's FAREWELL.

Rev. Or. Albritton preached his fare
well discourse last night In the First
Methodist church before gre IL audi
ence, his text being quit you like men,
be strong" The speaker said, that
while 1t is true the people OF the world
are advancing as they never advanced
before, II Is furthe rtrue that there
never was time when the powers OF
evil were so great as today. Therefore,
the world needs men today as II never
needed them before, The world Is fun
of pygmies. The world Is calling for
men who will stand for the right, men
who will do something, The nation
needs men, men who will stand up for
the right in national affairs, national
men-presidents governors, rulers.
II is not necessary for true men to
seek employment; they are always In
demand. Corporations employ men, he
said, merchants trust men, the people
honor men.
The doctor did not believe men were
born great. but rather that they grew
great. Integrity, he said. was the first
element OF character necessary 20 the
successful man, and added that In th'g
age of corruption In this age OF frau'
and dishonesty, "of bribery, especiallY
In the west" the man who has made
a reputation for integrity has climbed
far IN the ladder toward success.

qulres, heart. will, energy and power to
stand here in this Sustained spot OF
our fair land but II YOU can do It and
make only six knots an hour, you may
be doing something that Is great and
grand and keep your children from hell
or from that which Is worse than hell"
STREET RELIGION.
Rev G.. r. Brown preached yesterday
morning In the First Congregational
church on "'Fhe religion of the street"
He said:
"'rhe Bible history Of humanity be-
gins IN the country and ends In the city
The fnel destiny OF the race seems TO
be linked with the city. A city street
Is the world in miniature; here we see
mems newest interests and oldest
traits. on our streets we have schools,
stores shons, saloons, fire department
and that dsgracefil structure known
as the city Jail. A street IL an epitome
of our life and activities and among
these other institutions the Church has
rightful place because the nature OF
man calls for H. man ~ not only a
worker but a worshper and all the
activities Of his life are colored by his
conception OF God, The church Ia not
the only means of learning about God.
but It Is a most important one Our
schools are not the only means OF edu-
cation but city without schools would
soon become an ignorant city, and a
city without churches would soon be-
come an utterly irrelgious city. The
quality Of cltys schools Is an index
OF It's intelligence and the quality of
It's churches Is an index OF It's moral
ity. There is not better place for
church than city street because
Christianity Is religion with mes
sage and mission TO al the street
represents. Christ says TO lls followers
that they are not 40 abandon the
world, but to overcome ! by serving It
IN the same high and ~ actIcal way in
which He served II. Christianity calls
upon its men to grapple with the prob
lens and the temptations Of the street
and not to run away from them
