Rev. d. S. Toy, who is in charge OF
the western district meetings, spoke
last evening at the Memorial Chris
tan church on the subject, Salvation
DR. Toys text was, How shall We es
cape if we neglect so great a saliva

proved by its cost. 1t cost the life Of
Christ, Gods only Son. he said. DR..
Toy showed that the offered salvation
is great because it saves great sinners.
Too often the great sinner gets the
idea that because he has gone so deep
vice he can not be saved, but this
is wrong: salvation has been purchased
for every one who cares to accept it,
said Dr. Toy.

evening at the Spencer Memorial
church, in the eastern district. DIR.
Wheeler spoke of Christianity as the
only cure for sin, taking as his text
the story of the brazen serpent raised
in the wilderness by Moses as a cure
for the sting of the deadly serpent. He |
recalled the command then, Look and

Is the real cause of the disease, which.
however, may be brought on by exposure

CALL OF THE STREAM.

It's pretty tough to have to work
At driving nails or writing,
To be obliged to stay in town
When little fish are biting.
The man whose nerves are out of whacl
Whose brain is in tangle,
Should polish up his fishing rod
And find a place to angle.
Work, though it modest Is and light,
Is really quite appalling
II one is glued right down to it
When little fish are calling.
One feels like throwing I'D his hands
And taking for vocation
A job of fishing all the time
On one lifelong vacation.
When figures run around the page
And make his head grow dizzy
he wants worst way to join the gang
And with the line get busy.
And SO he frets and stews around
And every hour keeps wishing
That he could chuck the blasted books
And put his time in fishing.
And so he mopes about the place
An air detected wearing;
Quite savagely he kicks the cat
And does some quiet swearing.
II he is crossed in little things
He growls and feels like fighting,
For who could labor and keep sweet
When little fish are biting?
