during the past two weeks 50 accepta-
bly,. The address was an earnest plea
with the rnen to live right that 1t was
easier to live right than to live wrong.
Those who have been behind this
laudable movement deserve the thanks
of all the people of Martinsburg for the

First Baptist church, who formerly
was engaged to the Y. NJ. G. A. work
and knew how to start the movement
When it was suggested there were 90
many predictions of failure that none
but those Of q stout heart would have
per evered. Even Mr.. 1fbbitts said,
candidly that the scheme would be q
failure, but Mr.. Mccurdy had felt the
pulse of the Martiasburg people and
he soon found many ready follow :
ers.
