for tonight's sermon liz: From Eldon
to Hell. !"
Great crowds were In attendance
last evening to hear Rev. Barrett's
wonderful and impressive sermon
from Mark, viii, So.
"'F'or what shall 1t profit man. II
he shall gain the whole world, and
lose his own soul?'
"Or what shall man give in ex-
change for his soul.
"And when he had called the pee-
pie upon him with his disciples also,
He said unto them, whatsoever will
come after me, let him deny himself,
and take up his cross and follow me.
"'For whosoever shall lose his life
for my sake, the same shall save It,
There are great many questions
in the bible.
"The question God asked Adam In
the Garden Of Eden: Where Art
Thou?'
When God comes harnmering at
the door Of your hearts 1t is Of grave
import.

can answer. Neither the angels nor
the devil cap answer it. God cannot
answer it himself

life. Motive power OF every person
Notwithstanding the fact, we are
brought face to face that 1t eludes our
grasp in spite Of Its possession. I defy
one to analyze a human soul. The
stars may fade, the sun grow dim In
years, but the soul is going to live
somewhere forever. 1t is inconceiv

greaest images in the problem of self

case Of tariff phobia on record. But
these old veterans, who made history,
feel personal interest in keeping
that history straight.
1t is gratifying to see the universal
direpute into which the institution Of
slavery has fallen.

that he ever fought for 1t, or that his

A slight increase in the retail prices
Tor fresh and cured meats has become
noticeable to patrons of local butcher
shops. Such an increase is actually IN
progress and has been continuing the
PAST month. Only during the last
week, however, has the advanced
price risen enough to cause comment.
Investigation shows that the prices
quoted for meats today are from 10 to
20 per cent higher than two months
ago. The greatest advance noted is in
the case Of hams and bacon. where
the recent quotation was from 20 to
