 Writ of Execution.

|. An injunction was on Saturday serv- ed On Deputy Sheriff Manuel J. Martin restraining him from selling property owned by the Coast and Lakes Con- tracting Co, at the Navy Yard on an execution in favor of Joseph Novy who was given judgment of $700 against the Breakwater Co.,, in the su- perior court for injuries received by stone falling on him.

They were young and inexperienced at the time and threw up their hands and quit, said the lawyer,
 They turned in all their assets, which if sold at 75 per cent. of the cost-all being new goods-would have paid all indebtedness. They did not know that the partnership passing through bankruptcy did not relieve them of individual responsibility and they have now filed their individual petitions

MONTViLLE PASTOR IN
 CENTRAL BAPTIST PULPIT.
Rev. G. C. chappell Breaches Upon the Gospel of The Extra.

At the Central Baptist church on Sunday evening highly interesting and instructive sermon was given by Rev. G. c. Chappell of the Baptist church at Montville in exchange with the pastor, Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D.
 The text of the sermon was Matt 5:57, If ye salute your brethren only what do ye more than others?" What more? What extra ?' said Rev. Ma Chappell. This is the keyword to the sermon on the mount and a dozen His people are an extraordinary peo- pie although the sermon on the mount. The Gospel of the Extra is the gospel of the Son of God. He taught it and practiced it. Jesus Christ always gives more than we ask The best illustration of this is the cross. The cross is all extra and is more than justice, for God was under no obligation to send His son to suf- fer for the guilty.
 The problem in the home may be solved by the gospel of the extra The home is kept in harmony by a loving self sacrificing mother heart The father of the prodigal son in the parable practised this gospel. All the son asked for was to be 8. hired ser want but the father restored him tc sonship. The neighborhood will be
 
 tised. Here lies the secret of suc- cess in our Bible school or class work The gospel is~essential in all our ser vice.
 Christ who came to heal the broker heart is far from the people. They need him and how can they find him We must take Him to them. Rev. MT Chappell told a touching story that illustrated the true Christian spirit A young woman with child ir her arms was ordered to leave 2 train at the next station by the con- ductor because she had no ticket. "Oh, must go to Georgia she cried.'' My husband is dying there and baby and I must see him." As the train neared the station an ole colored man passed his ticket to the woman, smiled his benediction upor her and the child and shuffled off the train. The last the passengers saw o1 him he was walking to Georgia. He lived this gospel of the extra and fol- lowed Christ.
 We are living epistles. The world may not read the pages of the Bible but they read our lives daily Christ desires to make our lives overflow and to make them more than ordinary lives, adding love and forgiveness tc justice.

MAKE LIFE COUNT
 BY BELIEF IN SELF. Rev. G. H. Ewing Speaks Upon Value of Self Confidence.

Self confidence was the theme of the address made by Rev. George H. l Ewing, pastor of the First Congrega- tional church, at the mems meeting
 noon. The service was led by General | Secretary Edwin It'll and the or chestra provided music.
 After the opening hymn and the prayer Rev. MT. Ewing was introduced 1 by Secretary Hill and after reading | the scripture lesson from the book of Exodus, he announced as his text
 Exodus 5:5. And the Lord said unto him what is that in thy hand?'' If an onlooker from heaven" said Rev. MT. Ewing, were to look down
 upon us he would look with mingled of the progress that is being made and grief because of the sIowness of this progress" One of the causes of this grief continued the speaker would be SelfShnesS. He would see men fight
 ing battles for their own selfish ends. He would see the inefficieney of men and women who profess Christianity, yet who are inefficient. Rev. MT. Ewing said the cause of the inefhciency is lack of self confidence
 True self confidence was defined by the speaker as the respect which a man holds for himself. The world has been moving forward in all the ages and is moving forward today, but it mas never been moved an 1nCr by the l man who says 1 can't" Of course there are many things that common sense tells us that we can't do but when we are confronted by something 1 which we can do we should never say T can't" Self is the most precious possession we can possibly have. Christianity does not mean that we shall be inita- tors, but means rather that we should have in ourselves the inspiration of God. God in the Christian religion takes hold of us at our weak points and makes us strong and self confi- dent. God has confidence and belief in us so much so that he sent His only Son that we might be saved. Should
 we not have confidence and belief in ourselves?
 The great motto in life is "Use or lose" If we refuse to use our facu1- ties they will grow less and less, if
 Moses had hidden or buried his rod he would have lost the Use of it. So with us; if we lay aside our talents
 we will lose the use of them. Now
 is the time; not tomorrow or next day.
 Press out to the circumference of
 your life; expand that circumference
 until it reaches still further Make
 your life count by believing in your-
 self and by using the talents God has
 given you.
