REV. FRED STAFF ON THE
PHILOSOPHY OF FAITH CURES

A large audience was present at the
Congregational church Sunday night
to listen TO Mr.. Stats lecture on the
above subject. The pastor delivered
his lecture from manuscript showing
excellent preparation and thought on
the subject. He believes that Faith
mas great healing power and
that the so called methods used are
often given credit for cures, when
Faith really had accomplished it.
tie cited the treatment given by
many healers as an Illustration of
this fact. 1.-The plaster on the back''
was means to affect cure, but it
was the patients faith which brings
about the cure. The great good
accomplished by Elijah II in Zion
City was simply the peoples faith in
him, and not because he had been
specially favored by God TO exercise
the power of healing,
Those who were present to hear
Mr.. Staff were very much interested
and enjoyed the lecture. This was
the ''Thereapeautic Value of Faith"
and Sunday, February 81, he will
give his views on the "Prohy Tactic
Value Of Faith" and we are confident
will prove equally interesting

ADDRESS ON ABRAHAM
LINCOLN EXCELLENT

The history of Abraham Lincoln as
a citizen, politician and statesman
was beautifully and Interestingly pur-
trayed by DR.. j. Everist Cathen at
the Lincoln High School building
Saturday evening Feb. 9th. This
lecture was given under the auspices
of the city's Federation of Women's
clubs and a large audience of the
good people of Grand Rapids greeted
the speaker with a cordial reception.
Mr.. Cathell is an eloquent speaker of
pleasing address and was fully con-
verSant with the personal and hiStori-
cal events of A braham Lincoln's life.
As boy he enjoyed the personal
acquaintance of the eX-preSident, as
he was born IN Georgetown and there
fore had an intimate knowledge of
the slavery question that agitated
the people of the north and south in
those days. This eulogy of Abraham
Lincoln was greatly enjoyed by the
audience and especially those personal
experiences told by the speaker.
The address as whole was among
the best that the people of Grand
Rapids have been privileged to enjoy.
We should like to have had every
man, woman and child hear Mr..
Cathell in this lecture as it was not
only instructive, but brought back
wildly to memory the stirring times
of the war from 1864. 1t was a fit
ting opening TO the hundredth ami
verSary week in commemOration of
Abraham Lincoln.

FEBRUARY IA
VALENTINE DAY
Novelties OF Every Description
Adorn the Shop Windows
Lace Paper Missives With
H0neyed Verses.

Old Bishop Valentine will no doubt
be given as cordial a welcome in this
age the goth century, by all love
lorn youths and maidens as was
accorded him one hundred years ago,
| when Charles Lamb wrote, Hail to
thy returning festival, old Bishop Val
entine! Great is thy name in the
rubric. Like unto thee, assuredly,
there is no other mitred father in
| the calendar"
Hundreds of hansome novelties of
every description adorn almost every
shop window suggestive of the ami
versary which occurs on the 18th day
of February.
This years showing is far in ad.
vance of anything ever exhibited
here before. If you want to send a
really new style of valentine this
year to a friend or loved one, you
have your choice between new
Books of Sweethearts,' or some ex-
quisite water color and other pictures
handsomely framed, in which hearts
cupid's arrows, cupid's blushing maid,
ems, flowers and similar symbols of
youth and love form the chief sub
jects. These books and pictures are
permanent treasures and little more
expensive than many valentines.
The lace paper variety so much
in vogue generation ago, still hold
their own, and counters are devoted
to them in the different stores where
valentines are sold The same hon
eyed verses adorn them as of old,
when the present grown ups" were
school boys and girls, and boarded
up their pennies to buy one for their
sweethearts, or perchance, anxious
ly watched the Post Office box if
they happened to live in a country
town while the mail was being dis
tributed to see if any promising look
ing missive strayed into their box.
The atrocious, "comic valentine"
|so common a generation ago has al
most vanished entirely Their lineal
descendants are cards on which such
figures as a man with a pie instead
of face appear and under the le-
gend, eff for life you'll be my cook,
I'll be as pie-ous as I look" Or
one on which is attached tiny
mouse trap with a heart in red which
it holds captive. The verse accom-
panying this card reads, "My heart
is caught in cupid's love trap, and
I'll not mind a bit, if only you will
come in too, and share my fate in it.
Water color cards come in artistic,
novel and attractive designs. Some
are in book form handsomely bound,
and though rich and tasty in appear
ance, are not beyond the reach OF
slender purses. Truly this years
showing of these missives Of love
compares most favorably with any
ever previously exhibited in Grand
Rapids.

A HALL FOR CONVENTIONS
(contributed.)

(cOntributed.)
Grand Rapids is a natural center
for conventions of all kinds and some
OF our citizens are anxious to pro-
mote them. We all recognize the
value to our city of having many
strangers from different parts, come
and spend day or a week with
US. but at present it is almost out
of the question to accommodate mod
crate sized convention, because of
the lack of a suitable meeting place.
Most conventions, meeting in
towns of this size, are not large
enough to afford the opera house and
there is no other hall available. The
lodge rooms are in use nearly every
evening and can not be depended up
on.
The same difficulty is in the way
when a meeting of business men,
womens clubs or other similar or
CARNATIONS is desirable.
This subject is worthy of consid-
Grafton in connection with the pro-
posed Carnage Library. These build
ings are usually provided with just
a room and it is very valuable ad-
dition 10 the city.
