WHAT JESUSCANE FOR
Subject Discussed at Friends Re-
vival Last Night.

The revival meeting at the Friends
church last night was most crafty
ing to those ia charge. A fair siz ID
congregation was present ana the in
terest manifested indicated that the
crowds would rapidly increase. The
large chorus was in its place and did
we'll its part. Everything points to
success. Prof. L. F. Burnett sang
solo, accompanied by the chorus, that
was in thorough keeping with the
spirit of the whole service. 1t was
announced that the sermons this
week would each deal with some very
fundamental phase of the Christian
life, or the method of entrance into
it.
The subject of the message last
night was Sin" The speaker pre-
sented the method of its entrance in
to the individual life, through disobe-
dience, by the choice of the Temporal
ry rather than the abiding, or by
thinking that the penalty of sin could
be escaped. Some of the results Of
sin on the lives of men through the
ages of history were touched upon.
BY the examination of the Gospel &C
cording to Luke, the estimate of sin
as held by the Christ was shown and
in conclusion the speaker dwelt on
the attitude of Jesus toward sin, His
whole energy being exerted, His very
life being given, to put sin out of the
lives of men. The subject for to-
nights sermon is, What Jesus came
into the world to do" Meetings
each evening at 1880.

YE OLD TYNE SOCIAL
Happy Evening Enjoyed at the
Congregational Church.

The Congregational church men,
bers we're entertained in the church
parlors last evening at real for sure
genuine old fashioned sociable. The
company was met at door by com,
mfttee and upon the right hand OF
each guest a sack was tied, some red
some blue and some green ones, and
a number of other colored ones The
guests we're then assigned to their pc.
sitions about the house, and after the
family had all gathered there was a
general get together meeting in which
the sacks were pulled from the hands
and each and every one present shook
hands witheVeryOne else present. Fol.
lowing the hand shaking, there was
an hour of singing by the company,
and all the old. loved songs of the
long ago were sung, Darling Nellie
Gray" Annie Laurie" Rock of Ag-
es," in fact, half a hundred Of those
old melodies dear to the heart of eV-
eryone A number of stunts had been
planned for the entertainment of the
guests, but that the one big one failed
to arrive, so Mr. Harry Spencer re-
sponded to the request that he do a
stunt. StTaightway We produced
huge jug, presented to him by David
of old" and placing it upon the stage
stated that however difficult it might
seem he would crawl into that jug
and out again, for the amusement Of
the comranv. 1t seemed incredible
but he did it. He retreated to the
choir room. removed coat, hat and
vest and placed a skull cap upon his
head, and came crawling out upon the
stage, approached the jug, crawled
around it and back out into the choii
room. It was a laughable stunt, and

BRITISH TO LEAVE2
KITCHENER MAY TAKE ARMY
FROM FRANCE.
Believed Troops VIII BE Sent to 5alk-
ans--lmportant Military Plans Be-
ing Contaminated In London.

London, Dec. military plans are
being contaminated in London and
Paris that are Of more Importance as
regards the future of Europe than any
that have hitherto been drafted.
There is more than possibility that
the great British army now in France
will be utilized in another war theater.
Sir John French. commander in chief
of the British armies, came to London
Monday and conferred with Premier
Asquith.
Lord Kitchener, the British war min
lister, has also returned to London. He
made full report to Premier Asquith
East and his visits at Rome and Paris.
The customary secrecy attended the
conferences, but men in the confidence
of the British war lords assert they
are confident that the French army Is
now capable of dealing with any often
sive that the Germans may launch on
the western front, and they believe he
has informed his government that the
main British forces could be used else
where to better advantage.
The belief has been growing in Lon
don for weeks that the Balkans would
prove the decisive battle ground of the
great war To assure victory there
against the Teutons, Bulgars and
Turks 1t would be necessary to pour
in armies Of vast strength, not mere
"expeditionary" forces.
These armies, or their chief parts,
would have to come from British
sources. With the French army hold
ing the Germans in the West and the
reorganized Russians, once more well
supplied with munitions, on the often.
sive in the East, the logical place for
the British army to act, say unpreju-
diced observers here, is in the Bal
kans.
The Balkan situation, too, would be
cleared II England's main forces were
there. Neither Greece nor Roumania
would waver, the experts declare, If
England were to send to the near East
sufficient forces to assure victory over
the military machine dominated by
Prussia.

Hog receipts early this morning
were bulletined at $4,000 and later

was much better than that for several
weeks past the supply was large
enough to cause a slow and dull open
ing at 10 cents below yesterdays av-
erage. Packers were extremely bear
ish and slow to take hold. At no
time was there the least semblance
of activity the close being the slow
est time of the day and nearly every

Business in the cattle section was
draggy except for choice animals
which sold readily at steady prices.
Al other grades were from shade to
10 cents lower and hard to dispose of.
Buyers say their coolers are choked
with beef from low yielding steers
and they were Indifferent as to pur-
chasing.
Sheep and lamb receipts were ex-
cessive. Opening was weak to 10
cents lower than yesterday. Close
was steady to 10 cents below the op.
ening.

just The Right Present.

Don't take chances in the matter of
Christmas presents. You don't want
yours, like so many others. to be re-
ceived with Indifference or worse, and
ten days after Christmas to be cast
aside and forgotten.
You take no such chance in giving
The Youths Companion for a year.
Did you ever know of a home in
which it came amiss, or of one in
which it was not conspicuous on the
library table or in some ones hands
all through the year?
1t is worth while to make a gift of
that sort, and it is worth while to re-
