Chicago, Jan. 27.-An embargo
against the shipment of cattle, sheep
or hogs from the Union Stock yards
was restored last night by the United
States bureau of animal industry in
an order to DR.. U. G. Houck, chief
veterinary inspector Of the bureau
No animals will be shipped until
all pens and alleys have been disin,
fected.
The order was the result OF sus.
picion by the government that new
eases of foot and mouth disease found
in cattle shipped from here had orig,
mated in the yards.
A. c. Leonard, president of the
stock yards, said today that the EN-
barge will not be lifted until the yards
have been disinfected. He said he
hoped this would be completed by
Monday. Fifteen hundred extra men
were put 20 work today cleaning the
yards. The discovery OF the foot and
mouth disease among live stock
mostly hogs. shipped TO Philadelphia
by way OF Pittsburgh several days
ago caused the federal order. Rum.
ors Of the expected prohibition on out.

better over from yesterday. There
was no business transacted during

Business was badly paralyzed by
the embargo in the cattle department
and business was badly upset. There
was no competition and the market

cry business in Rose Hill for the next
ten years according to the provisions
OF the contract. The hearing yes
terday grew out of this injunction. A
large number of witnesses from Rose

AMONG THE CHURCHES
Items of Interest Cleaned From
Pulpit and Sanctuary.
Central M. E. Church.

The average attendance of the Sun
day school has not quite reached as
yet the coo mark set as a goal, but
keeps beyond 500. Next Sunday
will be Temperance Sunday, and
there will be special music, On. Mis-
sionary Sunday, Feb. Z, there Will be
a story by Mrs. Boyd and music by
the University Quartet. The Prima-
ry teachers meeting will be held at
the home of Mrs. f. A. BELL, 410 South
Seventh street, on Friday OF this
week at 2 p. m.
The morning church service was
well attended despite the severity of
the weather. An inspiring anthem
was finely rendered by the choir and
the congregation gave close atten-
ton to the second discourse in the
series on Money and the Kingdom, y
being given by request of the Official
Board of the church. Gods Finan.
cial Plan" was the topic and the law
of the 1.-THE as given in the Scripture
was plainly and forcibly dealt with e.
When Obeyed, prosperity followed;
when disobeyed, ruin and disaster en-
sued. The law has never been abb
rogated. The same results follow
today. Enough in the treasury TO
meet every demand, is the universal
testimony of every church which fol-
lows this law. Other methods show
far different results.
"Secreted Treasures" was the topic
of the evening discourse. Next Sab
bath Rev Mr.. Perdew will be at the
dedication services of the fine new
church at Newton, the building OF
which was brought about during his
pastorate there. A Gospel Team of
business men from Knoxville will
have charge of the services here.
The men of the church are asked to
meet them on Saturday evening at
the church.

near the old Mauch Chunk store, a
short distance south of the Spring
Valley church. Here he spent te larg

Rose Hill about twelve years ago.
In young manhood days he gave
his heart to God, and united with
the Methodist Episcopal church. He
was greatly interested in the Mas

years as the class leader of Spring

and expressions of interest about the
Masters work as he drew near the
end.

since then he has steadily but rapidly

Christian Church.

The theme of Rev. Earley's morn
ing sermon was Religion in Life;
his text, Pure religion and undefiled
is to visit the widow and fatherless
in their affection and to keep oneself
unspotted from the world" DR..
Bowen of Boston university says
there are three views with which life
Is regarded: the first, the worldly
view; second, the ascetic view; third,
the Christian view. With the first,
people think mainly of the present,
giving little thought to eternity.
Eat, drink and be merry" is tho
motto. This view adhered to, will
bring ruin to- the individual or the
nation. The ascetic view is that of
withdrawing entirely from contact
with the world,-even from family
life. 1t is the hermit idea and has
led to monasticism and convent life
among the Catholics. Even today
there are those who think the church
should have no part in the affairs of
the world,-in political life; have no
voice in its own city or community
life. The Christian view is Gods
view Whatsoever we do in word or
deed, do all in the name of the Lord
Jesus" Religion is positive-it is
practical Pure religion is TO do deeds
of kindness and mercy Our outer
life is determined by our inward life.
AS man thinketh in his heart, so
Is he"
A fine audience, composed largely
of young people, gathered to hear the
evening address on 'Amusements"
These sermons are growing in inter
est and attendance from week to
week. Mr.. Farley does not condemn
all amusements or deal harshly with
the subject He believes In good
times for young and old, and insists
that the church of today should make
a greater effort TO provide various
pleasures and amusements for the
young people of the community. Four
people took membership with the
church during the day,--two at each
