day evening Reverend J. L. Had l dock preached to large and ap-
 preciative audience. The subject
 of his discourse was "Pauls Fu-
 neral
 Mir. Haddock said that while this might sound like a very pe-
 culiar theme to many, he felt that
 he had as much right to refer to
 it as a man does when he talks
 about any body; that when we
 preach mans funeral we usually
 do so shortly after his death, but
 there was time when it was done four or five months afterward.
 He said that it was his purpose to mention some things in cohnec- tion with Paul, with reference to his life and death and to draw some practical lessons therefrom because they would do us good. He is the peerless Character of all human be- ings that the world knows anything about. Today he lives in the hearts of more men, and has influenced the lives of more men than any other
 man that has ever lived, before Christ or since. Why? In the first place, because Paul was always a man. The greatest privilege in this world that man has is exercising his own view in it's broadest sense. Some people will never do this We sometimes meet a great big fellow in the world, and in that big, fine physique is little metsly soul; coward, afraid of public sentiment; afraid of what this fellow will say; afraid of what the other fellow may think; afraid to act according to his convictions.

Christianity lifts every man higher; makes every man greater but some people it sems are destitute of the character Istics to make man.
 Some men can do anything with dignity, notwithstanding the fact that they may be misinformed about certain things; they take hold of everything in large way; do everything on broad scale: and carry on things according to manly principles.
 Paul was man willing to dare and to die for what he believed to be right. No wonder that he was going from place to place making havoc of the church of God. There is nothing greater in the life of a man; there is nothing greater in the life of woman or boy or girl. than that magnanimity Of soul that will make them stand up with out fear of contradiction and speak their conviction.
 MT. Haddock told many interest ing things about his journey the Holy Land, and how thousands were eagerly and proudly visiting the places where Paul had been, and said that every time they pass by spot where Paul had for his life there will be noble aspirations rise up in them as they remember the life of the man who. under all circumstances. stood for what he thouguht was right. He was true to his convic- l tions. both before and after his con- l 
 Mir. Paddock called attention to 1 he fact that Paul was an educat- ad man and that he was just as earnest and just as zealous in
