Or Satan sends acquaintance, who say, Come let us use in wildcat speculation some of the moneys which have been left us in trust for the widow and the or phan." And, though the average man would not be dishonest If left to him self. yet when some of these worldly temptations come to him from without he yields because other men about him are accustomed to sin in the same way.
 Breaking the Circuit.
 always look upon the infectiousness of sin great deal as I do upon the transmitting power of an electric cur rent When we were young l had classmate who owned an electric bat tery. Then he used to stand us boys around in a circle. We would all clasp hands, and the end men would take hold of the handles of the electric battery. Then my classmate would turn on the current and this currentwould go run ming from hand to hand and from hand to hand until it had made the complete circuit If two of those men would un- clasp their hands, instantly the circuit would be broken and the current stopped. So I believe Satan sends the currnets of temptation through the hearts and thn minds and the souls of men. He arranges us about in circles. Then he gets us all to clasp hands. Then because men py our side sin we sin, and because we sin other men sin.
 But, though there is a pernicious com panionship of sin, there is saving companionship in Jesus Christ. When you clasp hands with loose men, with evil men, with sinful men.thecurrents of spiritual death leap through your soul When you clasp hands with good men, with God-fearing men. with Christian men. the currents of spiritual life will go coursing through your minds and hearts and souls
 Now, my brother, the question for you to decide today is not whether you are tempted worse than any other man has been tempted. Your spiritual tempta- tions are such as have always been conf mon to man. The great question for you to decide is whether you are willing to clasp hands with Jesus Christ and with good men who are struggling to save sinful world and let the divine currents of redemption leap through your minds and hearts and souls as the electric cur rent goes ooursng over the wires. In other words, today are you going to break the divine currents which want to

MUSIC AND HEART BEATS.
Tests Before Society of Musical Thera.
 peutics Show Influence on Pulse.

From the New York Sun.
 The National Society of Musical Thera- peutics turned out about twenty-five strong in the studio of Mrs. Charlotte Babcock in Carnegie hall to discuss and demonstrate by experiment the effects of music on the psychic being and the lights, the livers, and the lungs. Miss Eva Au- gusta Vescelius, who founded the society in 1903 and is still its president presided, and papers were read by Drs. Ralph Grace, Samuel c. Tracy and w. R. G. Latson before the experiments were be- gun. The physicians, who are all quite young and prepossessing, discussed the topic ''rhe Influence of Music Upon the Pulse
 Miss Vescelius made a little speech as a starter wherein she quoted certain writers who quoted other writers to the effect that musical vibrations have reme- dial effects. Once they cured a case of screaming fits they stimulate diges- tion, promote nutrition. acts as sedative increase the blood pressure, and conse- quently the day is rapidly coming when no well regulated hospital will be with out doctor of music on its staff. Miss Nescelius says further in little booklet she distributed that music powerfully influences the emotions. irrespective of nationality or creed

 If we clasp hands with Jesus Christ, If we clasp hands with Christian men, if we get in touch with the divine life we shall ourselves become divine. Now, my friends. the question for you and me to decide is this: With whom shall We clasp hands? Shall we clasp hands with Satan? Shall we clasp hands with Christ? If you clasp hands with Satan you must be destroyed by Satan 1T you clasp hands with Jesus Christ, you shall by the promises of God be filled with eternal life Which current will you seek today, the divine current of spiritual power which comes straight from the throne of God or the current of evil by which you will be forever de- stroyed? In Gods name which current will you choose? eHar you not Gods promise, There hath no temptations taken you but such as is common to man. but God is faithful who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able, but will, with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it?"

 One physician held the hand of little gray-gowned lady in one corner, while another held the hand of one gowned in black in another corner. Before this each physician had previously held the ladies' pulses out in the corridor and had then marked the heart heats on a scientific score card. The game was to find out the difference between the final scores tabulated first in the silent corridor and then in the musically vibrating studio.
 Both doctors won. Dr. Tracy announced that his subjects pulse had hit up an in- creased pace of fourteen beats while lis- tening to a girl in white sing waltz song, but that the heart began to back pedal with a loss of four beats during 0 rendition of HandePs Largo.

TWENTY YEARS THEIR PRIEST
Rev Father M Farreliy Rounds Out
Twenty Years Of Service.

Saturday Oct. 5th, was the TWEEN
tieth anniversary of the coming of
Rev. Father M. j. Farrelly to the
Denison parish. Some of his people
thought he should celebrate the event.
With the characteristic modesty.
Father Farrelly suggested that it
would be we'll to postpone it at least
until the quarter century mark had
been reached.
Father Farrelly has been very help
full to his church and congregation.
He has set the example for a faithful
Christian life and has steadily en-
deavored to minister to the spiritual
and moral welfare of his parishioners.
Materially the church has made
great progress within the twenty
years and this has been done without
imposing hardship upon the members.
We congratulate the good priest and
his congregation upon their cordial
and pleasing relations and hope that
naught may intervene to prevent the
celebration of the silver anniversary
in 1912.

THE FUND INCREASED
Rummage Sale Adds Large Sum
to Cemetery Fund.
THE LADIES MANAGE WELL.
Both Sales and Refreshment Depart.
ments Earn Good Money-Gross
Receipts Nearly $4Oo.

The Federated Clubs bent all their
energies toward making the Rummage
Sale a success last week and for three
days the two store rooms on the south
side of Broadway were quite the
busiest places IN town. The gross
receipts were nearly s4O0. and AS the
expenses will hardly exceed S25. 90 the
cemetery fund will realize a neat
sum.
People have become educated to the
rummage sale idea and the first day
of the sale was the best as many
customers came from miles to get the
first chance at the bargains. The
ladies proved excellent clerks and by
Saturday night the salerooms were
pretty we'll depleted.
In the meantime the store room adj
joining was quite the most popular
eating place in town. Splendid
dinners were served and hot coffee
and sandwiches were drawing cards in
the afternoon. Miss Abbie Mcdenry
did a thriving business as a gypsy
fortune teller and added substantially
to the fund through her efforts. The
president of the federation. Mrs. F..
H. Morgan and Mrs. B. F. Philbrook,

together with the many other ladies
who worked their heads off" to
make the sale a success. are to be

were less than 500. Mrs. Morgan
wishes to thank the ladies for their
