by defining conscience, and described II as
'the electric button of the soul which God
touches to either reward or punish per-
for his evil acts or his good ones, by
turning currents of remorse or happi-
ness" He described a condemned murderer
in his lonely cell suffering the pangs Of
conscience while awaiting execution and
said no man can escape from his con-
science, which sometimes Furnishes the evil
doer severely
The service was opened by the singing of
the gospel song, TN Surrender" followed
by prayer by Col. Johnson and Capt. Val
liant. Then there was a solo by Lieut. Mel
lie Haslam, My Mothers Bible;' solo by
