 Personal Items of Interest.
 At the Grand Avenue Baptist church yesterday morning the pastor, Rev. Charles G. Smith, preached an excel- lent sermon from the text: Isaiah 64:6: We all do fade as a leaf. He said in part:
 Israers mightiest prophet is here seen in heartbroken prayer before God. The chapter is full of groans. For years the prophet has pleaded with Israel to return to the old paths of de- votion and duty and fellowship with Jehovah. But this pleading had been in vain. Now he tries a new plan-he pleads with God. He likens recalcit- rant and backsliding Israel to a fad ing leaf. Her glory has departed, and she is like a scar and yellow autumn leaf. ',There is none that calleth upon thy name" ... Zion is a wilder ness, Jerusalem a desolation. Our holy and beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire; waste"
 The story of human life is the his tory of a leaf. When stern winter drops her icy spear, and the flowers appear on the earth and the time of the singing of birds has come, then bursts forth leaf, mantling the boughs in emerald velvet. Then comes the au- tumn tints, like Josephs coat, of many colors, and but yesterday we tramped the fading and fallen leaves beneath our feet or raked them up for the burning.
 So "ebbs out Iife's little day" Look ing forward life seems a continent of years; looking backward it is but as an isthmus-but as yesterday or watch in the night.
 The lesson of mortality is the pro- phets word in the kings palace, Thus saith the Lord, set thine house in or der for thou shalt die and not live" | The cause of this decay is sin on the heart and iniquity in the life: "We are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags" Only those who strive to live a noble and | beautiful life realize it's difficulty. They who fain would serve the best are conscius most of sin within"
 'fCome into Christ and you will enjoy @ life that never fades. Go out to ser vice-to a broader and happier life i than you ever lived before. | ''The freer steps, the fuller breath, | The wide horizons grander view;
 The sense of life that knows no death, 1 The life that maketh all things new" At the East Pearl Street Methodist church next Sunday evening, the first of the bi-monthly praise services will 1 be rendered by the vested choir, under 1 the direction of William F. Brown, or ganist and choirmaster. The work to be presented is the cantata, ''The Holy City, by A. R. Gaul, and contains much for the pleasure and profit of all who enjoy good music.
