At Peace Institute.

The Erosophian Literary Society OF
Peace Institute entertained their friends
in vry delightful manner on Saturday
night. The feature of the evening, which
was dedicated to st. Valentine, was the
portrayal of Riley's dainty poem, "An
Old Sweetheart of Nine" in series of
effective tableaux.
AS the vision of the girllsh sweetheart,
Miss Sue Reade made beautiful pic
ture that will not be soon forgotten and
Miss Helen Brown presented the dream
ing lover to perfection. The scenes illus
trating childhood Days" were thoroughly
enjoyed and were carried by little Misses
Marion Kean, Amy Stockard, Eugenia
Clark, Annie Lee Wynne, Virginia Stand

pictures of ''The Kiss" Giving the AID

in whom it was hard to recognize Miss
Lille Pair.
One of the daintiest scenes was "Thn
Mother picture in which the small white
beds, and the little white-robed figures
clustering around the mother, who was
beautifully suggested by Miss Katie Lee
Banks, made us feel that we were peep

THE BRIDE, OF CHRIST.
A Sermon by Rev. John J. Douglass
That Was an Able One.


on Sunday night were conducted by Rev.
John J. Douglass, formerly of Wilson, who
With his family is visiting his father, Mr.

anpreciative congregation and those pros

discourse. For his text ne took.
THE BRIDE OF CHRIST.
Revelation 19:S land to her was
granted that she should be arrayed in
fine linen, clean and white. Stating that
in this the church was represented as the
Bride of Christ he used the following
points in his admirable sermon:
I. She is precious to Christ-Worthy to
be arrayed in fine linen. Christ always
spoke of the church as something exceed
ngly precious-a golden candlestck, a
pearl OF great price. The church is pre-
cious because or her love for Christ and
Christ's love for her. This makes it high
ly important that the conduct Of churches
should be sincere and honest, above re-
proach. The relationship is also one of
faith. Fidelity is the highest tribute the
Bible can give the bridegroom. A profess
sion OF love is emptier than vanity if the
current Of faith run cold and weak.
,. The church must be pure-worthy to
be arrayed in clean linen. She must be
pure IN her relationship to Christ, TO the
world and the highest and hottest ideals
Of life. She must be white lily of
truth. In that poem OF Solomon, rich
with Oriental imagery, we see the
bridegroom presented as the Rose OF
Sharon and the Lily of the Valley. The
character OF churches should be fragrant
with virtue, and white with truth-the
rose and the lily in the garden OF
graces. If the linen of the church be
spotted with selfishness and sordld aYar-
ice-with commercialism-the world will
hiss it into shame and reproach.
g. The church as the Bride Of Christ
should be attractive-arrayed IN white
linen. There is nothing so attractive as
bride in white The church should not
be a place Of shadows. The lover Christ
whose garments were red with sweat of
blood as He entered the travail OF his
soul in Gethsemanes garden, stood IN the
Mount of TRANSPORTATION with garments
brighter than ten thousand suns.
The church is not dependent upon the
world for her attractions. The Bride OF
Christ must not be flippant. She must
not be foolish She must not bedeck her
self in the tawdry tinsel OF the word.
Consecrated Christian life is the most
attractive thing in the world.
The preacher concluded his sermon with
a reference to the marriage OF the Br'ee
and Bridegroom. When the mighty pro-
cesional drew near the gates OF the eternal
city angel and archangel ana re-
deemed saint joined in the cry: Llft
up your heads, 0 we gates ana be ye
lifted up we everlasting doors ana let the

WAR NOTES.

Russia has announced her intention
of fitting out couple OF privateers to
prey upon Japan's commerce..
A great battle is reported at Kin
Lien Cheng in which 1000 Russians
and 10000 Japs we're killed, the latter
being driven back in disorder.
The Japs have entered the mouth OF
the Yalu river and driven the Russians
from an island, killing 500 men and
20 officers, capturing many guns. The
battle ragged for three days and the
Japanese are now in possession Of An
tung aud Win, two important strategic
points.
The great battle on the banks OF
the Yalu was fought Sunday, and
resulted in q rout of the Russian army.
They lost 800 and the Japs 100 men.
1t was mainly an artillery battle, the
Japs capturing % quick.fire guns and
much ammunition and emptying a
line OF entertainments four miles long.
The Russians abandoned and burned
the town of Antung, at the mouth
OF the Yalu, leaving the Japanese in
control OF the estuary. The Russian
army was 10000 strong, in command
of Gen. Kuropatkin. This was the
elimination of a five days engage
ment.
There are signs Of Q difference oil
opinion between the civil and military
branches of the government at Wash
ingtop. respecting the Russian decree
against the use of wireless telegraphy
by newspaper correspondents. The
disposition of the service branches il
distinctly manifested in favor of gov
eminent control, which makes toward
the support of the Russian position
1t is even argued that no civilian
should be allowed to erect wireless
mast without executive permission
because its use might interfere with
that Of some military mast. While
the State Department opinion is no,
crystslized it ia known that the
department is disposed to move very
slowly and cautiously in laying any
sweeping prohibitions upon private
enterprise, either newspaper or com
mercisl.

PLEASE PASS THE JAM.
L.ue +. Vernon.

A lew years ago an ex-priest by the
name OF Victor Ruthven, was holding
series of meetings in Victoria, b. C.
He billed his lectures under the title
of Patriotic Service" and always
opened and closed his discourse by
having the audience sing "God Save
the Queen" Ruthven did not begin
his lecture with prayer nor call on
God in any way to preserve or protect
himself or his listeners during his talk.
This did not meet with the approval
of lady in the audience one Sunday
evening, who, from her standpoint,
thought the expriest should invoke
the aid and blessing of God, in opening
his discourse. So she wrote him q
note asking why he took the name of
the Lord in vain, and had the usher
give it to Ruthven ON the stage. After
reading the note, the ex.priest said
that he never answered any question
from one in the audience privately,
but always answered publicly from the
platform. And in reply to the lsdy's
question-judging the note was from
q woman by the handwritiug-as to
why he did not invoke the blessing of
God, or took the Lords name in vain
he would answer her by telling . story.
Here is the story:
"Once upon . time-as all good
stories commence-there was man
and wife who had but one little child
"a girl-four years of age. The par
ents were very strict in their religious
views, and, as is customary among
such people, invited the preacher to q
Sunday dinner. Of course the fat,
regulation, yellow-legged chicken was
killed, and all the trimmings that 60
with it accompanied it. When din.
ner was ready, the father seated the
preacher on his right, the wife to the
left, and the little daughter at the far
end Of the table. All the eatables
were piled around the preachers plate,
so the half.starved fellow would not
have 10 ask for anything. The father
requested the preacher to pronounce
grace, which he proceeded to do in
q twenty-minute monologue manner,
winding up as usual with the stereo.
typed resolution This We ask for
Christ's sake, Amen Then the Sky
Pilot commenced on the chicken,
mashed potatoes and celery, as like
wise did the parents, forgetting en-.
tirely little Bessie sitting at the far
end Of the table, with nothing to
reach at her plate, but glass OF water
and q carved-bone napkin ring. The
father and mother, along with the
preacher begun talking of all the
scandal that had ever happened in the
neighborhood, or that might occur, all
the time gorging themselves with the
appetite-creating, well.cooked victuals,
never paying any attention whatever
to the little girl.
Finally the little one said: Please,
papa, may speskr why, yes, my
dear; what is it?' replied the father.
"But before the little girl had q
chance to speak again, the preacher
commenced another twenty-mi mute
stunt on how nice it was of parents to
