The revival meetings at the Presby

Sunday with the celebration of the
Lords Supper. This has been very
successful series of services with sub
, stantial results. Mr.. Turner the chalk

night the topic is "Thou shalt see with
thine eye but not eat thereof f"
Thursday, "The Hypocrite's Hope
Friday, "C0rds and Cartropes."
Last Sunday morning the pastor
preached on the words, ''Roll ye away
the stone" The theme was the re.
moval of difficulties from the way OF
sinners. Various hindrances to souls
were discussed and among them was
emphasized the Liquor traffic as repre-
sented in the licensed saloon. It is my
profound conviction, said DR.. Sloa,. 9,
that the saloon is the avowed enemy of
the church and Christ's Kingdom. 1t
is the promoter of crime, the compan.
ion of the brothel and gambling hell,
opposed to every good thing, it's very
existence depends upon debauching
men aud women. Therefore every
vote for the licensing of saloons is a
vote against Jesus Christ. And the
man who votes for license to save pay.
ing taxes is selling his Lord for the diff.
ference. As for enforcing law in dry
town, give US our present Mayor and q
no license law and we will guarantee
enforcement.

tion on the Duma property, compris-
ing 100 acres, and it is expected the
purchase will be cOnsummated within
the next two weeks and the two prop
critics combined under the name of

operations in many sections. But
with the passing of the panic has
come revival on even 4 greater

was necessary to issue because of SO
