They started ont on South Fourth

master pieces in every block.
There were seven musicians in the
party and they blew off lot of steam
in the frosty morning air. Their ia
vorite selections were the Lorelie, .
When the Swallows Homeward Fly"
and Die Wacht Am Rhein.' The
leader of the band was Johannes Ber-
ger. who used to be kappel meister or

THE PRECIOUS SOUL

The sermon of DR.. Orr was partic-

interest was intense as was attested
by the quiet attention of his audi
ence. The speaker based his talk on
the 18th chapter of Luke. The lost
in hell are more concerned about the
salvation of people in this world than
great many church people are" said

through which and in which He
pleads with men to get them to give up
sin, showing them the consequences OF
sin on the one hand. and showing
them the results of a life free from
sin, on the other hand. and by this
book He has been pleading with men
and is pleading with men.
If God wanted to put you in hell.
why did He give you that book? Again
God gave YOU your conscience to keep
you out of hell. Conscience is the
representative of God in your soul.
