1 ne meeting at the Young Men 8
Christian Association Sunday after
neon was of much interest but the at
/ tendance was not so large as it might
have been or as the able and attrac-
tive address deserved. Rev. Steffey
of the First Methodist Protestant
church was the speaker and the sub

] You Liver" and was very ably and
skilfully handled. His presentation
of the subject drew the line as to
whether you lived a life devoted to
material things and intellectual sat
isfaction, or in pursuit of spiritual
things and he drew many happy Illus
trations in comparison OF the two diff
ferent kinds of lives, keeping the
closest attention OF those who heard
him. His remarks were highly en-
tertaining and beneicially instrue-

his audience and leaving with each 4
good supply of food for thought and
action.

Commercial League Tomorrow Night.
Owing to the inability Of the NJ. +.
P. Co. team to play tomorrow night,

ball, but it will be preceded by a
warm game of volley ball between the
seniors and the business men. This
is the first introduction of volley ball
