NEM PREACHERS HEARD HERE
Rev. Frederick w. Coleman Delivers First Sermon Here at Methodist Church. Rev. Joseph Clark at Central BAptst Tells of Labors and Work in Africa.

q
 Rev Frederick w.. Coleman, the new pastor of Trinity M. E. church. preach ed at both services Sunday, there be- ing large congregations present, and at the morning service he was pre- scented by District Supt J. H. New land. At both services the vested choir sang in pleasing manner, while at the evening service a cornet solo was given at the offertory.
 Rev. Mir Coleman in the evening took his text from Matthew vi:10: Thy will be done on earth as it is in heav- en. What better, definition do we want of heaven than that given in the Lords prayer? said Rev Mr. Cole man. John tells us of heaven but human language and thought are in- adequate to describe it. I cannot con- ceive of turning this earth into heav en, though it can stand a great change, and I do not look forward to changes which will make it a heaven If we were to depict an earth ideal it would not be heaven. When I think of heaven as a place where the will of God is done, then I have complete conception of heaven.
 The will of God is net done upon earth. By His will We mean the pur- pose and desire of God How is it that it is frustrated? Man is a free agent with power to do good or evil God does not intend to coerce us in our moral duty. Mans will is not in har- rnony with Gods will and hence His will is being frustrated. Eastern peo- pie say fate rules man while the west ern man believes in the power of his own will and that it can overcome ad- verse circumstances.
 I rest in the assurance that Gods will is being accomplished on earth though one man may stand in the way for "a time. yet that ho1dback is event. ualiy overcome. Many great men ac- counpIish the will of righteousness and humanity among the people, and he referred in particular to Lord kromers s work in Egypt.
 will on earth and we are. trying to bring it about. If he or she is con- scious of the divine heart being in communion in God, there lies the greatest happiness. The greatest thing is to bring human souls into harmony with the divine will. If we only real ized that the efforts of everyone help out in the great cause, more of us would be engaged in it. It is for ev- eryone to fight the good fight, on the side of righteousness and God, against the forces of wrong. The good man keeps. the ever present evil down, while the bad man allows it to surge up and ruin his life. May God make each one of us a worker in bringing about Gods will on earth.
 Rev. MT. Coleman made a most fla vorable impression at both services, delivering his sermons in an easy and impressive manner. He had a clear and distinct delivery and holds the attention of his congregation. as he is possessed of the gift of preaching without his manuscript.

 in his relation of conditions and the progress of missionary activity in the Congo region and the Soudan t4heI evening service his talk was iIlustrat- ed by stereopticon views, which brought his hearers into a closer ac- quaintance with the missionary field.
 Rev. F. C. Wright, pastor of the church, introduced the speaker at the evening service, also announcing that Mrs. Clark, who has been in the field with her husband would speak to the women of the church on Tuesday aft ernoon at 3 o'clock, a meeting to which he extended a general invitation to the women of the city. Rev. Dr. Clark's views, which were all well selected, concerned principally the Congo region in which he has labored, and where in 29 years the number of converts has grown from none in q population of 35 million heather to 15, 900 native Christians at the present time. with as many more ready to accept the teachings of Jesus Christ. Among the views shown was one pie ture of Henry Nj. Stanley, under whom the speaker said that none of the atrocities existed of which the mis- sionaries had of late been compelled to complain. These had come with the control of the country by King Leopold of Belgium. but it could be said now that the present Belgian king
  remedy the conditions formerly com plained of by the missionaries, whose complaints were declared to be well founded by the American and British committees which travelled through the country for the purpose of investigat- ing. The speakers views showed much of the improved conditions for the natives which result from the work of the missionaries and the adoption of Christianity, one of his concluding views being that of a bright young Af- rican man who was a skilled machin- ist and an illustration of the high type of manhood which results under Chris itan influences.
 During his visit to this city Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Clark are the guests of Mrs. Frank A. Roath at Pinehurst, Washington street.

In spite of Sunday mornings snow storm, both divisions of the A. O. H. and St. Mary's T. A. and B. society marched from their rooms to St. Pat rick's church. where the pews on either side of the main aisle were reserved for the several hundred members who assisted at the 7.30 o'clock mass. The usual low mass was read by the Rev. Edward J. Plunkett, who was assisted in giving communion to the societies and other parishioners by Rev. William F. Cavanaugh.
 Rev. Father Treanor was the preach CT, commenting the edifying example of the societies in receiving holy com munion in body at this time, indicat- ing that as Catholic men they stand for Catholic principles in the com munity. and that knowing the law of God they practice it.. He emphasized the fact that many members of both societies are in the habit of receiving communion frequently throughout the year. but that their attendance as members of the organizations was sig nificant, showing the strength and power for good which came from so- cieties as societies when based upon sound religious principles.
 The blessing of the palms at this church followed the high mass. Owing to the length of the days lessons there was no vespers.

REASONED IT OUT And Found Change in Food Put
 Him Right.

A man does not count as wasted the
 time he spends in thinking over his
 business, but he seems 10th to give
 the same sort of careful attention to
 himself and to his health. And yet
 his business would be worth little
 without good health to care for it.. A
 business man tells how he did himself
 good by carefully thinking over his
 physical condition, Investigating to
 find out what was needed, and then
 changing to the right food.
 For some years I had been both
 cree a great deal after meals. My
 food seemed to lay like lead in my
 stomach, producing heaviness and
 dullness and sometimes positive pain Of course this rendered me more or less unfit for business, and I made lip
 my mind that something would have to be done
 Reflection led me to the conclusion with indigestible food, was responsi- ble for many of the ills that human flesh endures, and that I was punish ing myself in that way = that was what was making me so dull, heavy and uncomfortable and unfit for bus mess after meals. I concluded to try Grape-Nuts food to see what it could do for me.
 T have been using it for some months now, and am glad to say that uo IIoL SuIIeF. dHS IoliSeI iileI IiledIS :. my food seems to assiniiate easily and perfectly, and to do the work for which it was intended. T have -ragainad my normal weight, and find that business is a pleasure once more-can take more interest in it, and my mind is clearer and more l alert"
