PAID TRIBUTE TO LAUGHTER
Men Of intellect and Renown Join In
Testimony to the Value Of
Jollity In Life.

The value Of good -natured laugh
may be rated low by some people:
but many writer's have attested its
worth In no measured terms.
1t Is not surprising that Charles
Lamb should have said, "a laugh Is
worth a hundred groans in any mar
ket:" but from the lips Of the somber
Carlyle one is scarcely prepared to
hear. mo man who has once heartily
and wholly laughed can be altogether
or irreclaimably bad"
1t was Douglas Jerrold who boldly
stated that, What was talked of al
the golden chain Of Jove was nothing
more than a succession OF laughs. a
chromatic scale of merriment reach
ing from earth to Olympus"
II am persuaded wrote Laurence
Sterne, that every time a man smiles
but much more so when he laughs-it
adds something to his fragment Of
life"

Of Oliver Wendell Holmes. given with

Negro Revival Grows In Interest


Rev. J. D. Dennis OF Argen-
ia, the presiding elder of the
Newport District, of the Afri-
can Methodist church, preached
last night. His text was taken
from Matt. 7:24: Therefore,
whatsoever heareth these say
lngs of mine and doeth them, |
will liken him unto wise man
which built his house upon
rock Rev. Dennis said in
part: THE scoffings of this age,
the fame and riches to which
men aspire are all sandy founda-
tons. Whatever man may at
tempt to do, if he attempts it
without the religion of Jesus
Christ, that man is building up
on an unsafe foundation. But,
the religion of Jesus Christ, is
the indestructable foundation
and will last throughout time
and eternity. Foltaire, Bolin-
brook, Tom Payne, Ingersoll, and
their Votaries have tried to rea-
son, and philoaophize the Chris
tian religion out of existence,
but the foundations upon which
they built their superstructure
were built upon the sand, and
the ages are crumbling their
houses to dust, while those who
build upon the Rock of Ages
find themselves defying the
storms Of sin, and living in an
atmosphere, where the soul re-
ceives health and happiness"
Several came forward for pray
er.
DR.. Robinson said: Il want
you people to serve God some
by giving, SO that we may meet
the expenses of this meeting.
God will not let you have a re-
vival in q hundred years, SO long
as you come out here and sing
and boiler, and when the basket
is passed you don't put in
enough money to pay for the
lights. No sir, religion has a
business side to it," again,
some of you people are wanting
me to do in this meeting what I
am not going to do. Some of
you want me to cut out this
choir, and lay aside these song
books, and cut monkey shines,
and kick over benches, and the
LIKE am not going to do it
if we never have q revival. God
is intelligent, the people among
whom we live are intelligent,
and it is time we were teaching
these sinners to accept Jesus
Christ in an intelligent man
ner." There is no need Of men
hanging their heads down, -
whining to get religion-they
