PRINCETON PRESBYTERY
US. A. MEETS At STURGIS.

The Princeton Presbytery of the
Presbyterian church United States of
America closed its session Thursday
evening. with popular meeting ad-
dressed by DR.. Hunts, Of Mayfield. on
the topic, 1.-THE Relation of the Church
to the Working Man.
The meeting was an unusually intar-
esting and successful one.
Wednesday Presbyterial communion
was observed. A large audience was
present. There was splendid musical
program. The sermon was preached BY
Dr. Bull, of Hopkinsville.
1t seemed that almost the entire aud
fence participated in the sacramental
service
The different reports showed he
work of the churches in the bounds Of
the Presbytery to be in good condition.
A deep, devotional spirit pervaded
all the session. The writer, in all his
experience in Presbyterial meetings,
has never attended more interesting
and helpful meeting, or one in which
there was more of the spirit of love
toward other churches, or more Opt
misn in regard to the work Of our own
churches.
The good people of Sturgis let them
selves out to entertain Presbytery and
make il pleasant for the delegates.
The Presbytery adjourned to meet
in Mayfeld in the fall.

No tented amusement enterprise on
earth has met with such continuous
praise and applause as has Howe's
Great London Shows. An ovation
greets this clean and beautiful organ
izstion Mt every point in its annual
tour.
From the genesis Of the show until
its present colossal perfection there
has not been solitary season in
which IL has not led its fellows in the
multiplicity and general excellence Of
its attractions and now il towers above
and dwarfs all other tented exhibitions
in comparative insigniticance. and this
season IL presents such an opulence
Of sterling and meritorious attractions
as to entitle It to be designated as a
vast Amusement Golconda whose won
drous wealth OF entertainment is I'M
lin tied and immeasurable. Howe's
Great London Shows are prolific in
leading and sensational features, and
fully equippsd with the finest stable Of
horses and the mosl skillful and fin
ished bareback riders. gymnasts and
acrobats in the profession. The show
has large. well-ordered and we'll

vigorous specimen Of all that is
strange. rare and curious within the
range Of natural history. and this
Royal Roman Hippodrome il q real

Of the Imperial Caesar.
II may be said. however. that to
these always prominent and desirable
attractions have been added for the
current season. many features so stu
pendous in magnitude. so overpower-
ing in unprecedented grandeur and i'm
and so enormous in the
expense necessary TO this production,
that the features mentioned. grand
and wonderful as they are. can at best
play but secondary part.

and nearly all of his household goods
were burned to the ground. The fire
started from some unknown cause not
long after midnight. When the fire

articles were saved before the fire
gained complete hold al. over the
house, which was reduced to shoulder

flames were discovered. The loss in

The Reason They Moved.

Last Sunday, while explaining the
Sunday school lesson which pertained
to the bartering Of the Jews in the
Temple, the superintendent asked the
children. why did the Lord send them
out of the Temple?" As no one an
swered he wished to make it clearer,
and put the question in this way:
why would a man make people move
out of his house?"
From the infant class little Willie
piped up, Because they couldn't pay
the rent. THE Delineator for May.
