q Good Fisher.
John Ross was Scotch minister
who iourished In the early part Of the
seventeenth century. Tales Of his won
derful deeds are told to this day In his
former parJ4S OF Blair. At one time
the reverend gentleman walked to
Mause, a distance OF about three miles,
Tor the purpose OF seeing a certain
farmer and II possible inducing him to
come to church. where be had never
been. He found him fishing In the riv-
er and asked to be allowed to have a
cast Il never lend my rod TO any
body" said the farmer. But" replied
the minister Il have come all the way
expressly to see you, and / must have
a cast" The farmer, who was a very
strong man and had never been beaten
In fist fight offered to fight for 1t.
"All right" said the minister. and he
gave the farmer such a mauling that
he was glad to give up his rod. But it
was q different kind of fishing that the
minister had come for. He asked the
farmer to keep the rod and conduct
him to his house at Mause. When they
arrived the minister said, Now, you
so on your knees and pray" telling
him that he would not leave till he did
so.
So the farmer fell on his knees and
cried, ooh, Lord, deliver me from this
man" "stop" said the minister. THAT
is very good. hope you may always
be able to do as well. Now, you have
to promise to come to the kirk next
Sunday" This the farmer did. Not
long afterward he became q leading
elder.

ELOQUENT AP-
PEAL TO MEN

About three hundred men listened to
Nh. Anderson at the First Baptist
church yesterday afternoon. His ser
mon to men was unlike most sermons
of this kind. 1t was clean, practical
and manly. 1t was an appeal to men
to live clean and honorable lives. The
world trials and burdens rest on the
men. Every man who tries to be true to
the responsibility upon him. realizes
that it is impossible to do SO without the
help of God Men are greatly loved
The affections of the mother, the wife
and the children are lavlshedOn the man
1t is mean man who 30 far forgets
what he owes to those he loves that he
lives an unclean life. 1t Is a wrong
principle which sets up one standard
for the man and one for the woman.
1t takes strength and courage for a
man to live the right sort Of life
Any weaklina can live a life of sin
and dissipation, but 1t takes determi-
nation and strength of character to
live right. He made strong appeal
to the men to turn their back on evil,
take God into their lives, and live for
Him. At the conclusion of the address
many men went forward and took Mr..
Anderson by the hand, and by this act
gave their endorsement to what he
said, and indicated that they were
inter sted in seeing unsaved men tuIn
to God. A number of men requested
prayers.
The house was crowded at services
last night. Mr.. Anderson preached on
belief and Baptism. The attend
ance Is increasing with every meeting
ana it is hoped that the interest will
continue to deepen and that many yet
unresched will be induced to show an
interest in their eternal welfare.
The meetings will continue all the
week, services at ten o'clock every
morning ana at 1880 every evening.
