at the Surprise Theatre a special Sc

Next Sunday night S. F. Kenaall

be: "Christ's Second Coming
A brief devotional service was
presided over by General w. P. Hall,
who introduced the speaker.
Great interest was manifested in
last evenEng's lecelre, lthe things

from a standpoint both original and
interesting.
The unquestionable evidence pos

of our loved ones in the life to come

teaches that some will be finally lost,
but when we carefully consider the
teachings Of the Word of God we fnG
abundant reason for believing that
not nearly so many will be lost as We
once imagined.
"Hel merely means the condition
of death, and has no reference to
place where the lost suffer uneniing
misery. One proof of this is the fact
that we read of good people going

The speaker pictured the absurdity

Richmond, Jan. l9.-By enlargine
the powers OF county boards Of super

rious Importance, and at the same
time apply to the counties the demo
cratic principle of home rule.
Mr.. Land says: 81 am preparing d
bill to enlarge the powers and duties
Of supervisors Of counties, providing
for mare frequent meetings and Civ
ing them authority in all local mat
ters within certain defined limita-
tons, the powers to he similar to the
powers of councils of towns under

Primarily my object is TO relieve

work which prevents serious conside-

will make the supervisors of coun-
tics practically a commission, with
powers similar to commissions and

The answer is that the counties
