During the evening two mine galleries

much better. One thing we may say
for pride, it never feels cold. In the
coolest weather you will see ladies 60
ing to parties with not much more
clothes on than katydid.
Modesty should make them dress
properly bat such is the influence of
pride that they will run the risk of ex-
posture and death to be in the fashion.
Martyers burn for Christ, but ladies' of
our modern society will freeze for
fashion.
Pride went out on horseback but
came back on foot" That is it had to
come down.
1t is so satanic that it will ape hu-
mility.
The remedy for pride is within the
reach of all. 1t IS grace, the grace of
Him who was meek and lowly of heart.

Washington.-The State Department
has not received any complete or com
prehensjve report concerning the de-
struction of the British steamer Ar
menian. with a loss Of several Ameri-
can lives. The delay was understood
to have been due TO the earbling in
transmission of a long report forward
ed by Consul Armstrong at Bristol,
who interviewed the survivors.
officials at the State Department
directed that this message be repeated
at its place of origin. Such details as
were understood, it was said, seemed
