was described as fully 40 feet long,
with a huge head, and if it was not
a veritable sea serpent, the Oldest

what it was. Unfortunately, no

Some vows are for keeps. When a
true man marries his vows are for
better Or for worse;" he does not have
one eye on the divorce court. So when
a sincere spirit accepts Christ as Sa-
viour and Lord, he has entered upon
life contract Thenceforth. in every
stress Of circumstance, and in all vary
ing conditions. he is Christ's man; and
would as soon think of being false to
his wife or his own father as to his
Lord. In the great lineup of life Christ
can count only on those who are on
His side in all kinds of weather.

an increase In the rate on soft coal
averaging 1875 cents ton from mines
| In certain States west OF and including
Indiana. From this increase, Mr.. Nc
Auliffe testified. the railroads would be
able to add $l.2o6.l22 to their annual
income. He said that would mean each
