in this city are warm hearted" Dr.
Herget read the following poem the
night he preached in Hamilton ana
said one of these hungry men put
It on his desk.
1--WE praise you for your noble worp
To tighten up heavy heart.
"Tis grand to have a helping hand,
And have some one to take your part
The cheering words, the pleasant
songs,
Light up the face when gloom is
deep,
And seek to Danish worldly woes,
To trust in God awake. asleep.

Bibles In Waldorf.Astoria.

An out-of-town visitor. who regis
tered at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel re-
Gently. was surprised on entering his
room to find a handsome Battle-Ground
Bible lying on the table with the name
"waldorf.Astoria" stamped In gilt on
the outside OF the cover. II was quite
a new thing to him. Inside the cover
OF the book there was a label saying
that the Bible was "for use Of the
guests of the Waldorf-Astoria," and
underneath was the name OF the New
York Bible society. This society aims
to supply all the hotels In the city
with Bibles for the use OF the guests
and to do this free OF charge. But the
funds OF the society have been so low
that a large number OF the hotels are
without Bibles in their rooms, and the
few hotels supplied have paid part OF
the cost of the Bibles. This is true
OF the Waldorf-Astoria and the new
Bibles recently placed there. Amy
individuals can make donations es
pecially for Bibles TO be placed in the
city hotels.

Yea trust in Him, who gave us life,
Who watches us from day to day.
To Him who is our all In all,
In Prevent union let us pray.
Praise God, from whom all bless
ings flow,
And pray for life and love and
strength,
The clouds will quickly pass away,
Days will be bright turnout their
length.
Wednesday morning 2S3 persons
came to receive rolls and hot coffee,
some women and boys. Thursday
some colored men we're in line, and
so DR.. Herget has continued to feed
the hungry and unemployed through
the week. He has preached to them
and no doubt viii convert some. He
said many had called him fool for
feeding city buns" but DR.. Herget
has large warm heart. He breaches
that God does not love people be-
cause they have wealth and are in
higher class than the poor, but
that He loves all. He got all these
men who were away from home to
promise to write to their mothers
