A Rous1Na MEETING.
Large Audience Last Night Hears DR..
Martin and Prof. Mcvey.

Some 500 people gathered at the
Christian church pavilion last night, in
spite of the storm, to hear DIR. Martin 4
lecture on marriage and Divorce
and il is needless to remark that the
lecture, which was brimming with wit,
humor and common sense, was enjoyed
to the full. For two hours the audi
enoe gave the speaker rapt attention,
at times convulsed with laughter, at
other times impressed with the truth
and solemnity Of the evangelist IS words
A large Eastern city paper says Of the
same lecture, when given in that city;
No one who has heard this glitter or
ator denies that he is an advanced
thinker, and intellectual giant, and pos
sesses rare powers of speech and ex.
preston. But last night he excelled
in all previous efforts. The lecture was
one of the most interesting, instructive,
amusing and impressive that ever was
delivered in this city" The above
words most effectively apply to DIR.
Martin IS effort here last night.
Prof. McVey's solo last night de-
serves special mention. He sang
"some Mothers Child" II was beau
tifully and tenderly sung and many
were the tear-dimmed eyes before he
had finished singing. Prof. McVey's
manner is so easy and entirely unaf.
fected that it is genuine pleasure to
hear him.
A thousand extra tickets of admis.
sion to the lecture for women tomor-
row afternoon at O'Clock have been
printed making three thousand which
have been distributed, so it seems an
assured fact that the tent will not
seat all the ladies who desire 10 hear
this lecture. In this case IL might be
well TO "come early and avoid the
rush.
Prof. McVey has been secured by
the official board Of the Christian
churches Of Oregon TO conduct the
music this year at their annual state
at Turner. This will be
pleasing news to all Mr.. McVey's ad.

"The work of the commission has

been beneficial in the exchange be-
tween New York and Mexico.
The commission is also given credit
for the new monetary system of the

the matter.

The Wickedness of Growing Old.
Here are the three deadly symptoms
Of old age: Selfishness, stagnation. in
tolerance.
If we find them in ourselves we may
know we are growing Old. even if we
are on the merry side of thirty. But.
happily, we have three defenses. which
are invulnerable. II we use them we
shall die young If we live to be Il hun
dred. They are: Sympathy progress,
tolerance.
The first is the hardest to most of
us, because our own little prison of
the actual is so immensely important to
us. There is no denying the fact that
when you have Il toothache yourself it
is hard to have to consider other peo-
pies aches. But it can be done. though
it generally involves physical effort. for
we must bestir ourselves and act. The
mere feeling Of sympathy expressed by
action is poor. useless thing, but the
soul. determined not to grow old. can
force the body to such physical effort,
though there is no denying that 1t Is

NEW FRENCH CABINET,
First Meeting Of the Rouvier Ministry
is Held at Paris.

| First Meeting OF the Rouvier Ministry
is Held at Paris.
Paris, Jan. 27.-The Rouvier min
lstry held it's first formal council at
the Elysee palace today, under the
| presidency of President Loubet.
The first actual work of the new
cabinet was it's approval of the dis
missal Of Commandant Rengnicourt,
from the legion of honor for making
secret reports, and relieving General
Peigne from membership in the SUI.
perior council of war for similar re-
ports. Foreign Minister Delcasse re-
ported that the situation in Morocco
had greatly improved.
An unexpected incident occurred in
the chamber of deputies while NJ.
Rouvier was reading the declaration
of policy of the new ministry. The
declaration contained a favorable re-
erence to the active observance of
the Franco-Russian alliance. AS the
premier made his announcement he
was interrupted by cries from the
extreme left of down with the car,
/ mingled with cries of "assassins.
The president of the house, NJ Dou-
mer. suppressed the demonstration,
| declaring amid applause that the
chamber would not listen to such
words.
During the debate on the general
policy of the government, M. Rouvier
said relative to the separation of
| church and state:
Separation was not part of the
original program of the Combes cab
met. but only arose through special
circumstances. II separation is made
1t is well we should understand it
thus. While reserving the rights of
the state and respecting the liberty
of conscience of Catholics, we would
like to accomplish it with unanimity.
The government will not oppose the
separation. but it is best first to dis.
cuss the income tax
After a spirited debate with refer
ence to secret imports, M. Betrteaux,
minister of war; defended the dismiss
al of officers, which he said was nee
essary in the interest of discipline
M. Delcasse, amid constant Interrupt
tons from Socialist members. replied
to criticisms of the governments at
titude regarding the Franco-Russian
alliance, cOntending that it had been
greatly beneficial to France.
A motion placing the debate on sep
aration of church and state immedi-
ately after the income tax was reject
ed.
M. Sarrien then presented a gener-
al vote of confidence that the gov
eminent would realize the reforms de-
clared in the program announced by
Premier Rouvier. which was carried.
The result is distinct success for
the ministry.

often go insane. and We're it not for the

lunacy among them would rise to an
almost incredible percentage. if we are

sheep in the desert and therefore may
be supposed to know.
