As you approach the shut ins," the invalids who are compelled to lie upon bed of sickness week in and week out, you will see the eye brighten and the lip smile and will hear the blessed words of endless gratitude.

 The Gospel Invitation.
 But there is still one more field of Christian activity to which I would di- rect your attention. That is to the side rooms where the aftermeetings should be held in every Christian church immediate ly following the benediction of the Sun- day night services. That is the place where the gospel net is drawn. That Is the room in which after a week of prayer the sinners are given a direct invitation to join the church. There they are brought face to face with Jesus Christ and are urged to make a decision in reference to their souls eternal destiny. That Is the one place above all others where the Christian should expect to see the direct results of his spiritual labors. It is the one piHct tOWdfu WHICH HIS ScluidTs and young people should converge and concenter and find it's gospel climax.
 The busiest and most intense Christian worker should be found in the Sunday night aftermeeting No sinner should be there to whom a church member would be unwilling to extend a gospel invitation and with whom he would feel diffidence in talking about his Saviour Jesus Christ But the great stumbling block in the way of most new church members is this they think as new members they should take a back seat. They feel that older Christians, and not the new converts, should move up and down among the peo- pie. They feel that a church ought to be run like the United States senate: that in 1t no new member has right to be eonspicuously seen or heard until he has served silent apprenticeship of at least six or ten years.

who will probably withdraw from the

by these two organizations.

Louisville Cannot Find Them at
5000 Il Piece.
Paducah Will Soon Have to Boy Four
New Horses For Fire De-
partments.
THE SUPPLY Is SCARCE

A serious problem in Kentucky just
now is securing suitable horses TO,
fire departments Psducah recently
purchased two. but only after Chief
Wood had long and tiresome search.
1t may seem strange that Kentucky,
the state noted for its horses, should
at present be so devoid of sturdy ami
mails, but 1t is a fact nevertheless.
Paducah will soon need four new
fire horses, owing to the increase in
the fire departments. II is not known
what they will cost, but they will
likely be cheap at any price. Louis.
Vile is now finding it hard work to
get them at s215 and s250 each. Here
they always cost a large amount, and
do not last long. The strenuous work
in the department soon breaks them
down.
The high price is owing 70 the scare
ity of the animals of the proper size,
breeding and requirements necessary.
Horses are higher than they have
been in ten years, and the commonest
plug" sells for $40 to $50. The rea-
con for the high price, it is said, il
that when the price of horses dropped
many breeders went out Of business
ana this caused scarcity Of good
stock. AS the use of bicycles became
less, the demand for the horse went
back to it's former price and still the
demand was too great for the supply
The result was that the price went NJ
higher than it had been before tn,
drop and fine horses were mot TO b
had.
Horsemen are kept on the constan
lookout for good horses which will b
suitable to put in fire departments.
The horses wear ont quickly with
few exceptions, from the hard worl
on the hard streets and sthe suppl
must be kept up at all times.

Board of Public Works Finds
Much Work Ahead for it.
Held a Meeting Last Nights to
Make Report in the Near
Future.
STOCK LAW Is WANTED

The board of public works held .
meeting last evening and was In ses-
sion several hours, but did nothing
that Is ready to give ont. The board
finds great deal of work to do in or
ganizing and preparing for the du.
ties that devolve on them, and il will
likely be several weeks before much
is accomplished.
At present the street work is taking
up great deal of the boards time
and attention. 1t will include a
great many things, and when the
800, 900 bonds are issued will impose
a great deal more work on the board.
At present the board can do nothing
towards getting the work to be done
with this 800. 900 bond issue started,
because the legislative boards have TO
issue the bonds and they have done
othing yet
1t is understood that q report en-
braoing street and other improvements
will be made to the boards shortly,
showing the amount of gravel used by
the city. the cost and the place it was
put. -
The board will also likely ask for "a
stock law. prohibiting any kind of
stock running at large OF any time.
This will probably precipitate anoth-
er fight in the boards over the "Town
Cow" question.
A great many objections are met to
proposed improvements in the city,
some OF the most prominent and
wealthy citizens refusing to sign pc
titions for street and sidewalk i'm
provements because they do not want
to spend any money for such improve.
ments in front of their property.
II is understood that their library
building yard will be improved.
The fence alone around this building
will cost the city about $500 IL q
stock ordinance is not passed, and
il it 10 passed, the fence around the
library building will be dispensed
with, and save the city the $500.
The board will probably select
Wednesday nights rs the regular meet
ing nights, but has not yet definitely
decided.
One good thing the board has done
is to order the street roller pinto ser
