output of the factories, gold mines,
iron mines, ETC., is the foremost ma
ton on the earth today and HIS call
to His church today isr Of the su-
premest Importance, and the church
ought to awaken to a sense of its
responsibility.

Anderson's violin solo, with flute
obligato, by DR.. Mcdaniel, and or
gan accompaniment by Mrs. j. H.
Anderson, delighted the immense
throng.

COULDN'T REFUSE TO DRINK.

In speaking of the evil of intemper.
ance Dr. Wayland Ioyt has related
the following:
In the az bioG. Apply of DR.. Good.
ell pre6Nod % his life, he tells us
that 10 or 80 years ago a very godly
minister used tc rass his fathers door
and often sterlcd in to see the family.
Once the minister Glanced to meet
there the Ia uily physician, and he
asked his advice. He said: I am
about yisitilg the sick and the af.
flicted and the inquir!ng, and every.
where ] am asked to take something
to drink. ] cannot decline without
giving mortal cafense. but after awhile
/ find myself growing dizzy, and am
afraid that ] shall say or do some
thing to disgrace myself Now, what
do you advise me to do about this?"
After great dellberation the physi.
clan advised him to, as soon as he
felt himself growing dizzy, go home to
his study while he was able to walk
There he was to sit until the dizziness
had passed Oft when he could resume
his visiting.
That was nearly a century ago,
and 1t never occurred to either of
them to cut it out" Fancy a
preacher of to-day pursuing such
leisurely methods!
