Sunday Big Day at Tabernacle.
Yesterday was big day at the
union tabernacle, the morning, after
noon and ev-ning services bringing
out large audiences. In the morning
sermon Rev. Pratt dwelt largely upon
the differences between the man mere
ly moral and the man who is a Chris
tian. The moral man tries to keep
up a good appearance by giving much
attention to the exterior. He polishes
himself in spots. He keeps himself
going by means more or less me-
chanical. The Christian has the prin-
ciple of good life within. The
Christian life abides within and ener-
gizes him. Goodness flows from with
in him as water from an unfailing
fountain. In the afternoon sermon on
"Woldly Amusements from Bible
and Christian Standpoint" Mr.. Pratt
dwelt upon the amusements, dancing,
theatergoing, and card playing. I'm
like many evangelists, he did not think
that all people participating in these
amusements were on the road 10 per-
dition. but held that thsrs was mush

is understood the plan of the Wells
Fargo people is to reduce the audi
tors force, two men to do the work

who has been on this end of the line
for three years past, will be one of
the men who loses out. Several
