Life.

Nine. Lydia Mary Olive MamreoI Won
Finkelstein Mountford addressed an ap-
preciative audience at the METROPOLITAN
Methodist Episcopal Church last evening
on tho subject Jesus Christ. the Good
Shepherd"
Nine. Mountford's account OF the Gus
toms Of the people OF Palestine was
given special emphasis owing TO the fact
that she was born and brought I'D In
Jerusalem and lived there continuously
for the first twenty-five years OF her life
The speaker prefaeed her remarks BY
stating that she was as familiar with
the Holy Land as Washingtonians were
with Pennsylvania avenue In speaking
OF the life OF the shepherd mention was
made OF the ancient customs that still
exist, and It was stated that the life
and dress were the same as those OF the
most ancient times.
Nine. MOuntford dwelt al some length
on the passages OF Scripture which are
being lived out each day IN the life OF
the Palestine shepherd.
According 10 traditions, David made
1000 musical instruments with which to
praise the Lord, and It was the opinion
Of the speaker that the world at pres
ent knew nothing about music when COM
parlson was made with David's knowledge
Of the subject. A large collection OF i'm
plements used by the shepherds Of Paies-
tine added much to the interest OF the
lecture.

understand the vast amount OF money
that hnds its way into the United States
treasury when II IS conservatively esti-
mated that 100000 drinks OF whisky are
taken IN the country during each twenty
four hours.
Every day the smoking men OF the
country buy a000,e00 cigars. upon which
the tax is $4,000. while approximately
