Oyster Season in Full Swing

The oyster season on Chesapeake bay
and its tributaries. both in Maryland and
Virginia., is now In full swing. and the
outlook, according to those who have been
in the oyster business for years, is for a
prosperous season. The dredging season
opened Thursday last, and the number OF
dredge boats that will operate on the bay
and its tributaries will be larger this year
than for several years past. A large fleet
of boats is lying in Baltimore being fitted
with dredges. and of the vessels assem-
bled a large proportion has not been en-
ployed in the oyster trade for several
years.
The tongers. who operate in compare
lively shoal water. have. it is stated.
been catching plenty of oysters. but they
have been small. 1t Is thought that the
dredgers will find oysters of good size on
the dredging grounds. and that within
the next week they will be coming TO mar
ket Several run boats that have been at
river points preparing for service will go
into commission this week. and the oyster
wharf will be a busy place from now un-
til the end of the season. unless Ice
forms and stops navigation on the river.

THE Sword of the Lord and Gideon" He
said. In part: ut was the sword of the
Lord because there we see displayed the
special power of God. Gideon was spe-
cially chosen and guided and encouraged
by God That he. with 800 men. should
fight such host shows the victory wa
won by the sword of the Lord
There are two sides to all Christian
work-the divine and the human. The
man Of one idea only is not the effective
worker. The prayer meeting Is good
thiAg. but the actual Christian worker is
necessary. Yet the Christian worker must
rely upon God. The 120 waited the ten
days for Pentecost. Samson was power

IF we want the success of Gideon we
must catch hts spirit. This will move us
to Il holy life and mighty efforts for the

Tomorrow won't have any use for

The secret of success is no secret at

for you young men to be ready for the
age in which you live.

is afraid to rise up is worthy only of the

This is an age of young men. There
Is TOO much clamor for the young man to

recently at a large metropolitan news

general manager. A young man, almost
a boy. came out; and I asked him to in
troduce me to the man for whom he did
stenography. He said he was the man
himself. and I said Too bad There is
too much of a load put on the shoulders
of the young man today
Taking up the three deficiencies he had
mentioned DR.. Landrith advised the
young men to be we'll, to be educated. and
to be clean.
Il want to make plea for such an ap-
probation of yourself that you will never
throw yourself away continued the
speaker. Il preach the evangelism Of
self-esteem. God isn't lonored by the
lives some people live. Once let man
