Dry Season Together with the Ap-

There has been much commen,

northern lights, which are appearil s
at decided advantage in the north

the lights We're not visible althoug
at various times last week, incnd-
ing Friday evening the lights were
very plainly visible.
Persons residing In the country
were among the first to notice the
lights, the residents OF the city be-
irg in a large messure handicapped
in their efforts by the electric lights
throwing up their flashes at inter-
walls. Many from this city will no
doubt on clear nights endeayor to
get glimpse OF the famed lights
The Nights appear huge and fan
shaped with shafts OF light green

seldom that they are seen in this

the Gospel. The Gospel demands
that you must love God more than
anything else. Therefore The worldly
man is ashamed of the Gospel The
world today laughs at a half hearted
Christian. The world respects a
true christian--and true christian
is not ashamed of his christianity.
If you dave the genuine article, a
vigorous heart sou med not be
ashamed.
Another reason WHY souls are
ashamed and afraid of religion is
that It pats al men on a level, no
matter what the position or state Of
life. We should say a. Paul, Il
am not ashamed of Crist We are
all prone to sin, but Christ has re-
deemed us. While we we're in sin,
Christ gave his life for Us. Were we
not worthy of redemption would

of you to do of which you need to
be ashamed No. nothing. What
has God promised you in His word
that you would be ashamed of to
accept. No, not one. Why are we
not to be ashamed of the Gospel?

NEW PASTOR
TAKES CHARGE
Rev. c. E. Miller Comes to
Central Christian Church.
VERY ABLE DISCOURSE
Is Delivered on the Opening
Day of His " ork,
Rev. f. E. Zechiel Delivers a Very
Able Sermon to His Congregation,
Sunday Evening.

Rev. c. L. Miller Of London,
Kentucky, began his pastorate at
the Central Christian church Sun
day. The services of the day were
we'll attended and proved of inter-
est and value throughout
In the evening, Rev. Mr.. Miller
selected as his theme "The Mission
of Christ" In his remarks the
new pastor stated that he believed
that the church as a whole was
making a very great mistake in in
terpreting the mission of Christ.
Christ came to seek and to save the
lost and this is the mission OF
Christ rightfully. and 1t Is the true
mission of the Divine Master to en-
phasize. His desire to save. Christ
came, according to tile text, and this
was in itself full emphasis of the
fact that he came Willingly. He de-
sires to save and If any man is lost
It is not the fault of Christ, but
far rather of the man himself who
after being sought by the Master
fails to yield to His wishes.
Marion is as much lost as old
Jerusalem, according TO the pastor.
Many are lost to Christ, to the will
of God and TO an eternal heaven.
but this is not the fault of the
Master. Even az He wept over the
old city OF Jerusalem, He Is weeping
over tlis city and 1t is the fault OF
those alone who will not accept
Him.
In conclusion the minister spoke
of the natural results. IL men will
not accept Him, eyen as there l. a
Heaven for the Just and righteous, so
there is hell for those who are
prone TO wrong doing. Rev. Mr..
Miller Is very able speaker and
will be held in high estimation by
his congregation. He is a capable
thinker and expresses his thoughts
with much force.
Taking Romans Lie as his text
for the Sunday evening sermon, Rev.
#. f.. Zechiel drew some very fine
lessons for his congregation at the
First Reformed church. He said in
part:
1--WE some times find people who
are ashamed of Christ and the gos-
pei. II meant much for Paul at this
time to preach Christ in proud
Rome. And when he went there
and preached Christ, It meant much
more than for you ana / to proclaim
Christ here now. No Christian
should be ashamed TO proclaim
Christ. A man whose ieart and

NO DAVIS CUP ELIMINATION PLAY
Proposed Matches Fall Through Be~
cause OF British Attitude.

NEW YORK, June 13.-Dr. James Dwight
of Boston announces that there will be no
Davis cup elimination matches in this coun-
try this summer. A cable says that no
British players will come to this country
and this left the inference that England,
II making a bid for the Davis trophy at all,
would send its representative s direct to
Australia. This decision. OF course, makes
1t compulsory for the United States to do
likewise.
Just why the E~nglishmen should thus
force two TENS to ago to the antipodes,
instead OF one, cannot be explained at pres
ent. There seems to be but one inference,
according to local followers Of the game,
and that Is the Bnglishmen are afraid to
have the elimination series take place on
American soil. There is n decided adYan-
tage in playing on home grounds. but the
question OF -sportsmanship might have en-
tered in THE figuring OF the Englishmen.
Three times has this country sent men to
England, who have fought hard for the
trophy, and 1t would lave pleased tennis
followers here to see how well the British
ers would play on any but their own courts.
1t may be that both Great Britain and the
United States will invade Australia. but II
is by no means decided. Certainly the
officials know nothing efini regarding
the plans Of the local stars.

ROUTE FOR VANDERBILT CUP RACE
Long Island to See Another Round of
the Event.

NEW YORK, June ls.-President Hotch-
kiss OF the American Automobile associa.
ton announces the date and place OF the
Vanderbilt cup race Of 1905. The race will
be held on Long Island, over a stretch of
the new Parkway, taking In the necessary
adjoining roads TO complete a course OF the
required length. The contest will take
place on October "a. The announcement is
the first revelation OF the plans OF the
Vanderbilt Cup commission, which has
been carefully guarded, though the inti-
nation has been freely made that the
event would take place over the Parkway,
work on which is already in progress.
The statement was made in answer to a
broadside hurled into the American Auto
mobile association camp by the Automo-
bile club Of America. After. a special meet
ing OF the board Of governors OF the club,
five cablegrams were made public bearing
on the fight between the two organizations
and the rival cup races. The foreigners
pledge their support 10 the Automobile
club race and two national clubs boycott
the Vanderbilt race. In spite of this boy
colt. President Hotchkiss says the Wander
htt CUP will have q representative foreign
entry AZ usual.
The eablegrams came from the automo-
bile clubs Of France, Germany. Belgium
and Great Britain, and the first two named
threaten disqualification TO their manufac-
turers competing in the Vanderbilt cup
racs, From these eablegrams II appears
that unless one or the other organization
warring for the control OF racing in Amer
ioa is able TO make inroads into the others
lines. the Vanderbilt cup race win be a
contest OF American cars without foreign

will be held over a tWsnty-eight-mile course
