ttChristian Services And Sc
crets of Success

meeting of the christian workers of
this city was held last night in the

dividual and immediate service. He
emphasized the absolute necessity of
being ourselves blessed of Christ be-
fore we can hope to become blessing
to others 1t is necessary that we our
selves should dwell deep with God be-
fore we can in the most effective man

tive conditions of our own spiritual
enrichment are Bible study and prayer.
For it is of Gods own fullness that
we must receive in order to be full
and overflow to the help of our fellow
men The speaker then named among
the important conditions of being
filled with the fullness of God, that
we put away iniquity and remove
from our lives and thoughts all un-
clean and unworthy things; that we
act out our faith, as Elisha did when
he smote the waters with Elijah 's
mantle; that we go forth in the path
of duty claiming and counting ON the
Holy Spirits presence, for we are
living in the days after Pentecost not
before Pentecost.

LOCAL SOLDIERS ARE BUSY.
RECENT MANEUVERS STIR
UP INTEREST.
Military Notes of National Guard
And St. Johns College
Battalion.

Annapolis has always been a very
military community. and Just now
the two companies of the First Regi-
ment, NJ. N. g., and the corps of
cadets at st. Johns College, which
comprise the local military organiza-
tions, are more than usually active.
The maneuvers at Manassas, Va, in
which Companies M and g took part,
have stirred up an unusual interest in
that quarter, while the interest and
efficiency in things military at st.
Johns have taken great bounds each
year under Major William A. Thomp-
son, the commandant. The camps of
the last two years as well as the
many ST. Johns men who have re-
ceived commissions in the Regular
Army have contributed to this The
fact that radically different drill regu-
lations will be put in practice this
fall has proved a new source of inter-
est to both organizations.
At st. Johns the companies are
much larger than last year, being
composed of seven full sets of fours.
in double ranks, each. They present a
very fine appearance. The local Ma
tional Guard companies are very
much encouraged by the interest
taken in them by Adjutant General
Riggs as shown by the securing of
their present quarters, the old Land
Office, which are much more con-
venient ON the whole than the old
location. Furthermore the Adjutant
General has stated that he is willing
to do anything in reason towards sup
plying the funds to fit out commodious
gymnasiums and clubrooms this win
ter. 1t is thought that this is all that
is necessary to attract most desirable
class of recruits. Company M will
give a hop at the Assembly Rooms
early in November. This is the third
hop given by the company and all the
former ones have been great successes.

man and Klakring have been appoint
