THE POETRY
Of PREACHING

The subject of DR. Pickard's ad-
dress was the The Poetry OF Preach
ing" n dwelt mainly on the quaIiTIos
and the characteristics that ii took
TO make a successful preacher He
said in the beginning that he had
no jealousy for any brother preacher.
in fact he wished that every preacher
eNcelled him Said he:
II want YOU TO be the best and
do the best with the talents that
God has given YOU. Christs aim was
the salvation of the world. and that
should be the aim OF every person
who proposes TO follow in his foot
steps. You may ask me the ques-
ton. What is meant by the poetry of
preaching? The answer will not be
the use of poetry in a sermon. 1t
is the analysis OF truth Gods truth
is finally fixed and it will withstand
all adverse pillows.
Preachers ought to be expert
teachers OF the revealed teachings OF
God. The world has a right to ex-
pect him to be such. He ought to
nave great power with the people.
especially after years in the minis
try. God does not make great preach
ers OF men who are not truly great
men God never spoils a great man
in order to make anything. No man
ever did a great deed who was not
instrinsically great. Men who aspire
to the ministry should be God-lilte

make Lee and Jackson great. They

LARGE MEETING

There was a large meeting of citi-
zons at the city hall last night in
which the bond issue question was
discussed TO considerable extent. Har-
mony seemed TO prevail and there
seemed TO be n general disposition
to get the whole matter on busi-
ness basis and out of politics. All
the speeches made were OF n con-
cilatory nature and harmony was the
order of the evening. The Chamber
of Commerce has taken tho matter
in hand and n committee OF that body
is now working TO get the bond issue
in shape so that the bond issue Will
be acceptable to all our citizens
With calmness and coolness in their
deliberations we think 1t now seems
that there might be an adjustment
OF the differences on the bond Issue
question and we hope 1t may be so
settled. Committees and the Cham
ber of Commerce are now working
with that purpose I'm view.

anything but favorable eyes upon
these musicians and never lose an op-

The band had been engaged to play
at a village some distance from the

to take the boys there.
On the way the young leader of the
band suggested that they should have
a tune. but the driver of the wag-
onette at once objected.
"No ICONS while I drive" he de-
clared.
"But why?" persisted the musicians
Surely the horses wouldn't run
