Baptist Reuiual
We'll attended

The services at the revival tent
were well attended yesterday after
noon by the usual crowd of people
who are deeply interested in the
music and the sermons.
Mr.. Solomon spoke on text taken,
from Philippians, second chapter and
fifth verse. Have this mind in yc'L
which man, was also Christ"
You can never live right until
you think right. Right thinking
makes right living. Sins are first
committed in the mind and then in
acts. Good deeds are first committed
in the mind and then in acts. The
goal to which Christians look forward
is to be like Christ.
I'VE are not to initiate Christ in
order to be saved. The life of Christ
does not save us, it is His death that
saves. His life is for the Christian
and His death is for the sinner. His
life was for the glory of His Father.
iii the first recorded, sentence that
He ever spoke He mentions His
Father, and in the last sentence on
the cross He mentions His Father.
In the book OF John alone he mentions
His Father over forty times. He
initiated Him in all things.
I'm order to be like Christ we must
be humble II we exalt ourselves,
God is sure to bring us down. Let
God do the lifting up He knows how
better than we 40.
Again, we are to be like Him in

UBIQUITOUS LIKE

William Alexander First Prisoner
to Enter It's Sacred
Portals.
HONOR THRUST TRUST UPON HIM

Comfortable Quarters for
the Night.
THRUST UPON HIM

William Alexander has the honor and
high distinction of being the first
prisoner ever to set foot in the new
First Police Station, which was dedi-
Gated to the cause of justice TUESDAY
night by! the Mayor, Chief of Police
and members of the Board of Police
Commissioners. Some men are born
great. some achieve greatness, and
some have greatness Thrust upon them.
William had his 3gr atness thrust on
him, for he was so nodestsapd re-
firing that 1t required a long.sdusty
chase on the part Of Policeman Jim
Gary and another officer to get hin,
and shackle him with fate William
saw the officers coming, and he knew
that, willy-nilly, they were going to
take him and add some other laurel
to his crown. But, being OF a retir-
ing disposition, William thrust the
honor from him and would have none
Of 1t. The officers insisted. and Alex
aader was finally brought to reason
and the station house. He was given
a fine berth, and when seen last night
was resting very comfortably.
William was not the only man who
was accorded nice, comfortable quar-
tcrs in the pleasant home for the mi
Gu1touS. Word went forth among those
who prowl nightly by tho banks OF the
purling Shockoe, and they went out and
did things. such as getting drunk and
acting suspiciousy, all to get into the
new station-house. The police got
eight of them altogether. and there
was never a more contented looking
set of prisoners than those seen behind
the bars last night.
Among the other guests In the new
one-night hostelry may be mentioned
irwin Adams, who was charged with
stealing twentyseven bags from the
Southern Railway Company; JOSEPH
Johnson, charged with stealing one
gold-tllled watch, the property of Meme
WATSON: Landrum Coleman, a suspi'
cious character, who. 1T is thought, has
