DEAN FoRDYCE TALKS TO BOYS
Tells Them of beauty and strength
of Young Manhood.

OF Young Manhood.
Dean Fordyce of Nebraska Wesleyan uni

$50 of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion boys at the First Presbyterian church
yesterday afternoon. Taking the Billie
story of the prodlgal son as a text, ne
told the boys OF the evils that assail the
life of youth and warned them in plain,
straightforward manner of the awful re-
suits. physical and mental. which will re-
suit from indulgence in the great moral
sins. The subject OF the talk was THE
Beauty and Strength Of Young Manhood"
''rhe most beautiful thing God has Gre
ated is a strong. manly boy" said the
speaker. But Satan is constantly trying
to lead boys away from the straight way.
The prodigal son. spoken OF in the Bible,
is an example OF this Boys Of today who
follow In the footsteps OF that unhappy
youth will come TO just as sure an un-
happy end. Boys get dissatisfied with their
homes and imagine that there are better
things elsewhere, and they go away Then
they find that they have left what is best
in their life
THE way to set back to the narrow way
after wandering, is to do like the prodigal

and think. The next is TO make up the

LECTURES ON THE APOSTLE PAUL
Rev. H. c. Herrick Delivers First of
Series of Addresses.


Rev H. C. Herring of the First Congre-
gational church began Sunday night a
series Of addresses upon the life and work
of the Apostle Paul, under the general
title Of THE Most Influential Man in His
tory" While no special effort will be
made during the series to prove the state
ment suggested in the title. a review Of the
apostles life, character and works will be
sufficient to show that Paul was one Of
the greatest personalities of history. and
his influence pervades Christianity to this
day. last evening Dr. Herring took for his
initatory subject, 1.-THE Background of the
Apostles life"
He said in part; mo character more
completely illustrated himself than did Paul
in the brief letters of his pen. His life
and habits, his meditations and aspirations.
his plans and ambition. are reflected therein
as the contour OF the mountain range in
the clear waters of the lake which sleeps
at it's feet and the man we know in those
letters even in the years before the grace
of Christ had touched his heart, is an
altogether interesting and unique personal
ity. Although a Roman citizen, reared
amid Greek surroundings, under the in
fuence doubtless of the Hebrew church.
he set himself apart from 1t all with the
energy OF decision which always marked
his life and Identified himself with the
straightest sect of the Pharisees. This
gives us clue to the whole of his pre-
Christian life.
Debating in the synagogue, battling
against the new formed Christian sect,
prosecuting its adherents, urging on their
destruction, pushing his activity out into
the provinces about, he is the signal ex-
ample of a conscience in the highest actiyo
ity. but guided by an utter misconception
of duty.
Let us turn back for a moment to catch
sight OF the surroundings which went into
the making of his mobile and vital char
Roter. In his native city, Tarsus. as a boy
he would see the vile worship of the orr
entail gods in fullest sway. In those days
the comparative dignity of some of the
ancient cults had broken down. and re-
ligion was another name for the indulgence
of the grossest passions How easy to be-
lieve from the sight and sound of these
things, the boy caught the ethical life
which burned again and again in whitest
flame, to him who, from the ground of evil
ethics, had seen what human nature will
do with its holiest power and possibilities.
II was useless to talk of the unaided ability
OF man to effect his moral transformatio
Henceforth he knew the world as dead In
trespasses and SIM"
The next of the series of the addresses
by DIR. Herring on the life and character
Of Paul will be given Sunday January 20,
and will relate 10 Pauls journey to Da-
mascus and the appearance of Christ to
him upon the road, and the meaning of the
event.

LANCASTER. PA. Aug, 20. |

LANCASTER, PA, Aug. 70 1907.
The largest sale of cased tobacco re-
ported recently was $50 cases of 1906
goods by Reuben Swarr, of Landisville,
sold to Cincinnati party. The price is
said to be satisfactory, over 20 cents a
pound actual weight. Outside of this
sale there has been little trade in 1906
goods, though Samuel Siesel has sold
lately little 1905 goods. Inquiries are
being constantly made about the 1906
crop, and the dealers are confident that
it will prove an even quicker seller than
the 1905, with prices the same.
The cigar trade the past week has
been holding its own, which means that
it is still fourishing.
The weather of late has been favor
able for the growing crop, and, taken as
a whole, the progress made is satisfac-
factory, though there is tobacco scatter
ed around which seems to have been at
a standstill for the past three weeks.
Plenty of nice fields are seen in which
there is good deal of poor tobacco, and
not few fields of poor tobacco have
little fine mixed up. Growers cannot
understand what causes this peculiar
unevenness of growth. The normal :rost
season is still some weeks off, and the
tobacco given favorable weather, will
make great progress, and the bulk of it
will mature nicely OF course an early
frost would be disastrous. A good deal
of speculation is being done as to the
size of the crop, and the opinion pre-
walls generally that under favorable con-
ditions so per cent. of the full crop will
be cut. AS the crop is late this season,
so cutting will be late, very little being
done before September l. The packers
are urging the growers not to cut too
quickly, but to wait until the tobacco is
quite ripe, as it means better prices for
the growers
A gentleman who made trip through
Mannheim township found the crops
there to be just as uneven as in other
places. He saw 50 crops and divided
them about as follows: Good, 2l; fair,
80; poor, 20; very bad. Is, and cannot
amount to anything. The good and fair
will make good crops under favorable
weather conditions within the next
twenty days. Small stuff is shooting
into seed pods, before it has properly
leaved, and it will remain stunted, of
course. New Era.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGRRToN. WIS,

EDeRRToN. Wis, Aug. 80, 1907.
The belated harvest is now pretty we'll
under way in most growing sections of
the state, and aside from the fact that
the tobacco is hardly up to the average
size, is going into the sheds in very fair
condition The later fields have been
making the best progress of the season
during the week past and bids fair to
reach nearer the usual size and yield
There is good deal of late stuff, how
ever, whose status is not yet determined,
which late fall might help.
Buyers are putting in good deal of
time in the country watching the pro-
gress of the crop and keeping tab on the
most promising fields, which gives rise
to the rumors that contracts are being
placed. There seems to be at least two
very good reasons why an early market
need not be looked for. Few growers
care to sell at this stage, remembering
the experience of last season, and fewer
still are the buyers prepared to pay the
prices which most farmers would name.
The market for old leaf brings no new
developments. Some sampling of last
seasons packings is being done but sales
have not proceeded far enough to estab
lish the price so far. Aside from small
business to manufacturers the only sale
of any size reported is 300 cases of low
grades by Geo. Rumrill.
The shipments out of storage amount
to 300 cases for the week to all points
from this market
