An Interesting Sermon

At the last services Rev. D. D..
Mitchell took for his text' We have

material world which the Creator
established that every Seed
should bring forth after it's kind;
End: Law in the mental world.
Religious training neglected, irrev-
Grant thoughts started the law of
continuance will carry the mind
on into settled infdelity. 3rd:
|Spiritual Law. The conscience
condemns an act. That condemna-
tious grow harder to bear and in
eternity Weeping and Wailing'
are not too strong terms to describe
the torment. Conscience approves,
the pleasure increases until in
eternity il. is none too much to say
that "Godshall wipe away all tears
"'There shall be no more death, nor
sorrow nor crying" This is law.
Naturally the sequal that will be
expected for next Sunday evening
will be IF this be law and the
wages Of Sin is death. How shall
any escape?" Therefore this will
be the theme for his next sermon.
All are cordially invited to this
discussion.

An Appreciation
Dear Mr.. Harris.

l want to tell you how much I
was refreshed and inspired by
your lecture on the Passion Play.
This was the third time that I
have witnessed attempts to hand
the play on to American audiences
by means of pictures and discript-
ions. And it was decidedly the
most successful of all, though the
other speakers were sent out by
the best agencies and were con-
sidered very superior.
Your treatment of the most
magnificent of themes lacked
every attempt toward profess
sionalism, and contained all the
spontaneous warmth of one who
is self impelled to share a great
experience with others. You
made it real to us. A deep sym
pathetic insight into spiritual
things, artistic appreciation, and
rare literary skill account for the
fortunate effect of your lecture
here.

"a full measure of efficiency in the con-
duct of the postal service cannot be ex-
pected SO long as the postmasters are sub
ject to political control. The success that
has attended the policy of reappointing
competent postmasters shows the advan-

with this policy the department last year
