1T is so particularly foolish today
for the family of a young woman

The men responded with the same
tune and the words. "P r. r., p. r. r.,

both Slough and Spooner weep with
delight. 1t was:

Sermon Cut Short
The sermon was cut short by the
extended preliminary exercises and
songs. Stough's text was "If any man
is in Christ he is a new creature" and
he outlined briefly several important
points as to what it means to get to
be Christian. He gave a talk de-

their enthusiasm in coming in such

his remarks of a previous night when
he said that the railroad men and the
