TWO STRONG DISCOURSES.

Rev. ]. N. Jesup. the new pastor
of the First Christian church, ar
rived from Johnson City, Tenn.
Saturday night and is the guest of
Mr.. John H.. Bell for the present.
His first sermons were preached
Sunday to large and pleased con.
gregations.
The morning service was on the
subject Pure Gospel in the Pulpit
and Pure Faith in the Pew" At the
night service he preached on the
judgment, taking his text from the
10th chapter of Revelations. Mr..
Jesup is pleasant speaker and has
a fine command of well chosen
words. He made a good impression,
both as man and as a minister.
The new pastor came as total
stranger to all but a few of his
members, but he has fully met ex-
pectations and the universal opinion
is that he will be a worthy success
or to the eminent DIR, H. d. Smith,
the former pastor.

The Austrian claim to have check
ed the Russian advance near Gorlice,
on the South Galician railway, but
apparently the battle there has not

The Russians have taken the Aus

which should open another entrance
for them through the Carpathians
into Hungary, while the Austrian
retreat is described by the Russians
as a rout.
The Turks have crossed the Rus

cording to Constantinople, have de-

ing anxiety for their remaining pos
sessions in Europe by feverishly for.

they fear is not disclosed, for it is
considered hardly possible for the
allies to land a sufficient force to
prove a menace to them. 1t is pos.
sible they anti ipate an invasion from
another source.
Indications again point to the pos
sibility that the Balkan states
which now are neutral may take |
hand in the war.
Throughout the British empire in.
tercession services were held Sunday
for success of the allies arms. Many
of the sermons embodied exhorta
tons to the young men to join the
army. King George attended ser
vices in the village church at Sand
