The particular portion of the re-

Is that referring to the duties and

pointed through the agency Of Austria

gum to move In Macedonia will prob

Last evenings union meeting in

unusual interest. One young man
came forward to confess Christ. The
singing was good. The young ladies
trio was especially fine.
Mr.. Kruegor's sermon was on the
Parable of the Ten Virgins. He said
that while men differed as to their
Interpretation of the parable, he was
sure that it was protest against three
things. These three things were
Journalism, Saiftlessness and Procras-
tination. He enforced the points
with telling and apt illustrations.
The meeting tomorrow night should
be largely attended. The singing
will be of an high order. One of the
