STATE PRISON SERVICE.
The state Prison Society OF Chris
| tian Endeavor held another specially
interesting and profitable meeting yes
terday morning when 10 city Endeav-
orers, under the leadership of Miss
Nina II. Macarthur of the Phillips Con-
| gregatonal church, went down TO the
prison An excellent soprano solo was
sung by Miss IrnA Durham, and a
practical talk was given the boys by
Mr. l.. II. Page. The way the inmates
of the prison present participated In
the exercises was highly encouraging
to the visitors. The topic was how the
members Of The society could show the
prison administration that they were
sincere IN their profession, and how the
visitors from town could best help. The
sentiment was expressed 10y the pris-
oners was that living daily lives IN ac-
cordance with Sunday professions was
the best way TO show the warden they
were sincere; and while there was an
abundant expression Of appreciation for
the interest taken In the prison work
by the EndeavOrers from town. a well
taken point was made that most practi-
cal and much needed help could be ex-
tended when discharged convicts were
looking for means Of self-support Such
time was a crucial one for such men,
and failure to obtain practical assist
ance to ind work often led 10 their
drifting right back to the state prison.
POWER OF PURPOSE.
Rev. Il. l, Goshen gave strong ad.
dress yesterday afternoon In the Y. NJ.
c. a. on THE Power Of Great Pur-
pose In the course of his remarks.
the speaker referred to Elijah, and men
Of latter days. He said greater char
ucters have great temptations Of which
the lesser souls know nothing Like
Elijah, the men Of today never have
temptations placed in their path, ex-
cept when they are tired and in need
Of rest. II is then that men commit
the greatest sins, and II Is then that
they should stand by their guns ana
not permit their flag OF manhood to be
lowered, The great purposes conceived
In early youth guide the lives Of many
men. But when q man bows before the
altar Of self all great purposes vanish
Every man Is placed on earth for
great purpose Not since the beginning
OF the world until the present day has
there been born "A man, who put self
first that has been nothing more or
less than a failure. It Is pitUl 10 see
a ship without a rudder being buffeted
upon the seas, but it Is SIN more pitlful
TO observe a man without purpose.
Mr. Goshen eXhorted his hearers 70
seek the friendship of God, for guild
ance through NE and urged them to
endeavor 10 make their fellow men
more happy.
