THEIR ESCAPE.

happy smile the young man wore
And yet | knew he must be sore.
His eyes were swollen nearly shut
His chin was bruised, his ear was cut
And yet you saw in spite Of this
He fairly radiated bliss.
The girl seemed very happy, too,
Although she was all black and blue.
Her hat. poor thing. was knocked awTy,
Her face by scarlet spots was marked
In places, too, the skin was barked.
I looked and wondered at the pair,
They both seemed quite used up for nan.
The impulse could hardly check
To ask them all about the wreck.
Or why and for what fancied fault
They had encountered the assault.
And why they showed no great distress
But really beamed with happiness.
Until at last | heard him say:
"Well after all, We got away.
'.It's foolishness, that throwing shoes.
l think j am one solid bruise.'
And from some other things they said
/ gathered they were newly wed.

Ryder rendered Send the Power" The
singing is to be a special feature of the
mission.
Mr.. Hofstead is a speaker Of unusual
ability who appeals not only to the heart
but to the intellect. He brings 10 MS
work scholarship. broad experience with
men and sound conditions and with all
a warm heart and genuine enthusiasm.
Mr.: Hofstead is winning his way into the
hearts of the people bv his straightfor-
ward manly utterances. The peopi" OF
Augusta are to be congratulated upon
securing this man to conduct revival
meetings.
The sermon was the strongest feature.
and while the interest was intense
throughout, there were passages when
thrilled and profoundly moved the con-
gregation Il do not know what Jesus
would have done had he been standing
near when Assassin Booth shot down the
mighty Lincoln, or when Gulteau pros
trated the lamented Garfield. or Czoigosz
slew the beloved Mckinley: but do
know what he would do were he here
today He would catch men," Amen,
said several reverent but fervent voices.
Christ has called for workers in every
age. and the call comes with renewed
emphasis in these days Of change and
reconstruction The church should hear
and obey For this call of Christ under
the smilitude of fishing is in reality 4
call to work The same skill that would
enable a man to catch fish would enable
him to catch men. Men must consecrate
themselves to this work. AS Gideon re-
Gently said: II am in business for Jesus
Christ, but I carry shoes as a side line
The worker must be trained. Jesus
Christ is the teacher. and to him Is read
lily ascribed the place of preeminence as
an intellectual genius. and another dis
tirguishing characteristic is that he
taught as one having authority and not
as the scribesother teachers. Persever-
ence wi llbe crowned by success. "fe
shall catch men," said the Master. and
that seals our success.
Tonight the subject will be "A Modern
