SERVICES AT THE
CHURCH OF THE ADVENT.
Bishop Johnston breaches Two
Eloque / Sermons-Confrma-
ton at Evening Service.

Both morning and evening ser
vices at the Episcopal Church yes
terday were very well attended, es-
pecially in the evening, when the
church was filled to its utmost ca-
pacity. Tie music was excellent,
comprising some very fine selec-
tions, and the new Vocation organ
proved all that it was expected to
be, though its full resonance and
beauty are yet to be developed.
The sermon by Bishop Johnston
in the morning was based on the
Sth. to 18th. verses of the 2nd.
chapter of St. Luke, the subject be-
ing THE Message of the Angels to
the Shepherds. 1t was most elo-
quent and impressive sermon, and
commanded the closest attention
from the congregation.
At night, the Bishops text was
from the 9th. chapter and 33rd.
verse of St. Matthew: ''Seek ye first
the kingdom of God and his right
eousness," and was a stirring and
earnest address, delivered in the
Bishops usual clear and impressive
manner, holding the absorbed at
tention of the congregation to its
close.
Afterwards the holy rite Of con-
frmation was administered by the
Bishop, five candidates being re-
ceived. These were Mrs. F. NJ. Prior,
Miss lilly Hanson, Miss Lily John
son, Mr.. James Rentfro and Mr..
Charles More.

your Wine Of Cardui and only needed to
take three bottles when l was fully re-
covered"
T1uT lHEN Miss Rose Owens, who
w has a responsible position in
w the Government service at
Washington, D. c., decided to
try Wine of Cardui, she made a wise
choice. Over a million women have
been relieved of female weakness by this
same Wine of Cardui. 1t is not
strong medicine but may be taken every
day in the year by any woman with
benefit. 1t does not force results, but
corrects arrangements of the menstrual
organs. 1t strengthens the nervous
system, gives tone to the bodily func-
tions, acts directly on the genital
organs, and is the finest tonic for wo-
men known to the science of medicine.

possession. There are q number of
local stockholders in the plant and
venner wants to freeze them out.
The city council of Urbana has re-
fused to pay the waterworks company
