Giving Card Parties At Mod
 crate Cost

One of the most delightful and eer- tainly one of the most inexpensive meth ods of entertaining ones friends, is a card party.
 AS a rule the hostess knows what game of cards her guests prefer to play, and as bridge has the preference over all others nowadays, 1t is usually the game selected.

 An informal note of invitation is sent out several days in advance as follows: My Dear Miss Blank-I am asking a few friends in to play cards on Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, and I would like so much to have you join us AS l think you prefer euchre will you kindly let me know, so that I may place you at that table?

ADDRESS ON THE
TRIAL OF CHRIST

"The Trial OF Jesus Christ before Pom
thus PLATE from a Legal Standpoint"
was the subject OF an address by Francis
ii. Hoffecker, well-known attorney. at
the monthly meeting Of the Methodist
Brotherhood Of st. Paurs M. e. Church
last night The meeting was largely at
tended, the announcement OF Mr.. Hof-
fecker's address having aroused more than
usual interest Delegations from other
Brotherhoods were present.
"Christ stood before the Judgment seat
Of Pontius PLATE, masterful and alone,
clothed with the mighty potentialities Of
divinity and yet intensely human as His
bloody sweat i'm the Garden Of Gethsemane
bore Witness" said Mr.. Honecker. Ills
judge was an unbeliever. needless OF the
tremendous possibilities of his position.
representing as he did the absolute power
and authority Of Hle Emperor He held in
his keeping the life of the Saviour OF man,
the most precious life ever committed to
judicial decree and from his judgement
there was no appeal"
Mr.. Hofecker described the mode Of pro-
cedure Of trial by courts in this country
IN criminal cases. after which he described
the trial before PLATE, as set forth in st.
luke. He characterized the trial
as crude in form and rambling both in
manner Of procedure. lie declared that
Christs jurors and accusers formed but a
mob. Mr.. Hoffecker gave a word picture
OF the trial scene. In closing Mr.. Hof-
fecker said:
Il have presented to you with conscious
| imperfection of manner and expression
but in the strength of my own faith and
belief one of the closing scenes in the
story of tho cross. Christ met a cruel
death in the faith of the religion he taught
and in that same faith, in the past cen-
turtles, thousands have suffered the tor.
lures of the rack, death by fire, on the
block, by the sword. and in every way
that develish ingenuity. fanaticism anc
ftenzy of superstition and hatred could de.
wise and in1ict.
IF what have said this evening shall
strengthen your belief, increase your faith
and make you more earnest in the pur
poses Of that higher and better life. shal
feel more than compensated for the prepa.
