Church. At the morning hour the
Rev. Dan Kelley preached on "Heav-
en-" to an appreciative congregation.
Mrs. Akers gave solo before the
sermon.
Last night Mr.. Kelley took as his
text what must l do to be saved
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and
thou shalt be saved" He declared
that the only salvation for men is
through faith in Jesus Christ. He
said that the apostle did not answer
this same question in the same way.
ut means more than believing in
Christ intellectually, accepting the

Jesus is the Son of Cod" he said. at
means repentance for sin, that is, a
clear conception of the nature of per-
sonal guilt before God and a resolute
/ determination to be done with sin
forever. Faith in Christ means getting
right with God and dealing Justly
mercifully and kindly with men. AL
forms of sin must be given up so that
the Spirit of God can use the life &C

London, May 21.-Italian war
dogs this afternoon are straining
at their leshes, while a horde of
Austro- German soldiers, the pick
of the dual Alliance. are maSSed
on her northern frontier, with
nerves keyed to the highest pitch,
ready to plunge across the diVid-
ing line and meet the soIdiery of
King Victor Emanuel.
II is but a question OF hours
now, when the deciding ballot
will be cast. There are none so
optomistic as to believe that Italy
can remain longer out of the con-
fIlct which has completely turned
over all Europe, and which will
change the map of a continent.
So far, dispatches reaching this
country from Rome indicate that
Italy has not yet taken the step
that will plunge her into war with
Austria. Parliament has given the
government fun power to act.
Since last night, no news OF deci-
siVe developments have been re-
ceiVed. Delayed Rome dispatches
show that the censorship is tight
enlng.
