PRESBYTERY MEETS.

The Presbytery of Flint met for its
annual meeting in the Presbyterian
church of Yale, Monday, April 18th
The retiring moderator, the Rev. Geo
B. Crawford of Port Huron preached
the opening sermon. He gave a very
forceful and helpful sermon on the
power of the Gospel.
Tuesday after half hour spent in
devotional service led by Rev. Ralph
Kearns of Caro-, the Presbytery took up
the business of the year. There was
nothing new in the line of business.
The reports showed an increase in the
contributions to the benevolences of
the church and an increase i'm the Sab
bath School enrolment of the Presby.
terry. There were three men dismissed
from the Presbytery, and one received,
and yet there are several churches in
the Presbytery calling for pastors.
The session closed with an address
by Rev. VIM. Jacques of the Trumbull
Avenue church, Detroit. He spoke of
the work among the immigrants. His
address was very vivid and touching
description of the people who come to
us for a new life, and our duty towards
them.
The Presbytery adjourned after
thanking the people of Yale for theiI
kind entertainment. Every one spoke
highly of the industries, and especially
the school of Yale.

A GOOD LECTURE.

DIR. Mattison Wilbur Chase enter.
tanned fair-siZed audience last Friday
evening i'm Central Hall with the sub.
ject "Big Bugs and Big Humbugs.'
The lecture was so good that it de-
served very much larger audience
than was present.
His Introductory remarks struck the
right spot, bringing in play on words
such as this, "This is a world of big
schools and big fools, big deals and
big steals, big bugs and big humbugs.' y
His lecture was so packed with excel
tent thoughts and ideas that it re-
quired some study to thoroughly di-
gest his meaning. His main thought
was to bring before his hearers the con-
trast between the big bugs and the big
humbugs, and his appeal for better and
truer living was most eloquent.
Character, he said, is the opinion of
each and every man that Almighty
God has. Ownership consists in COM
plete mastery. Who is the owner, the
runaway horse which goes racing down
the street or the terrified man in the
buggy behind, trying to stop the mad
rush of the animal? Who really owns
the piano, the man who puts up the
money for its market value or the girl,
who Is natural musician, playing up.
on it?
BY such comparisons as these he
held his audience for nearly two hours
This was his second appearance here
and he was well received. The lecture
course this year has not been a finan
cial success.

Happiness from Troub1e..

Being human, happily or unhappily,
we cannot deny the comfort to be
found in the reflection that misery
never lacks the company it loves. We
all have our troubles, and some of US

temptation of them. Indeed, there are
those who are happy only when
wretched, but these we believe to be as
few in number as they are disagreeable

too little cognizance is taken of the
fact that the effect of mere apprehen-

may be subjected to simple mental
treatment and be overcome.-George

MEASLES DANGEROUS.

Kill More Children in Pennsylvan1e
than Scarlet Fever.
The startling mortality among chin
dren from the little regarded ailnlen&
of measles was Indicated the other day
by a statement issued by the Pennsyl-
vania State board Of health, showing
that in 1906 there were 1,463 deaths
from 1t, 1,24O being Of children under
8 years of age. In December alone
2,3O7 cases of the disease were report
ell and a search of the records shows
that it kills two and one-half times
more children than scarlet fever.
