Text: What think ye Of christ7
Matthew xxtl42.
In this question: What think ye
of Christ?'d ] notice that first, chris
tianity Is q system of thought. Il does
not come as a system OF minimizing
obedience, but appeals to US as rca-
sonablet men.
Second, christianity awakens IN US
The highest class OF thoughts, and this
is one reason why it Is so frequently
overlooked among men. We are think
ing beings, but our duties call US 70
dwell upon material interests chiefly.
we are studying how We may support
our families; how we may educate
our children, low we MAJ build IL
cities. These are the objects which
force themselves upon the attention Of
man from day to day. and because
christianity does not directly take hold
OF them. many thrust It aside. Gut rev.
elation is the great subject upon which
all men should think.
Christianity has saved civilization
and been the crowntng b~eucfactor OIL
the world.

ment into this fettd mass. II raised

2. Trace the effects OF Christianity
upon liberty. Tho slave when Christ
came was a mere live chattel. and

property valued less than an OK" But
our Lord declared all men brethren.
The gospel is the nurse of liberty
striking off the slack!es from every
slave.

Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO, April 21.-Crop condi-
tons, instead OF the submarine issue,
took precedence III shaping the course
Of the wheat market. Largely as a
result Of heavy storms in the North
! west, prices developed considerable
strength and closed steady at &c to
lac net advance, with May at $l.141s
and July ut $l.13Ts. Corn lost BWMc
to nc: oats finished unchanged to
hc down, and provisions varying from
2Lac to 5s decline to q rise OF DC.
A leading authority said abandoned
acreage IN soft winter wheat States
would be extremely heavy. The ofttc-
ial Illinois report gave the percent
age conditions in the State as only
G3. aad estimated that 40 per cent. Of
the acreage seeded last fall had been
wintol-kiiled.
Corn was depressed by active selling
oil the part Of several prominent spec
ulators who recently had been on
spicuous as bulls. Current gossip put
emphasis on tho outlook for enlarged
acreage and for an Increase soon In
receipts. Oats were governed mainly
by corn. There VA some selling on
account OF tile excellent conditions
generally for seeded oats.
Provisions kept within a narrow
range, Lower quotations on hogs cas-
I'd the market for a while, but later
the tendency upgrade owing to
a scarcity in the offerings Of lard.

FAIRMONT. April 21.-There we're
two or three things happened mere
yesterday OF more than passing mo-
ment. In the first place another Of u
friends died. Sam Graham who played
the trap drums at the Hippodromo Is
the victim. He did not really die Ike
the monkey: but he went TO Morgan
town, which is Just about as bad as
being buried. Sam says he will come
back every once IN awhile on Sundays
to see that we are getting along with
out him. He might slip over 10 the

dependable friends had and was al
ways willing to help a fellow out. The
dramatic critic introduced me to sam

very much put out when he learned
that Sam was going away because the
drummer always drlmmed up the de-
tails for the d. C. about all tho shows
that came TO town. SO that all the ID.

cause a friend of his could not make
arrangements to go along. A
Another big happening here yester-
day was the signing'ofrHiram Heather
bee, star. local pitcher, to Phtladel'
phia National league contract. Hiram
is considerable of a twirler in these
parts. but nobody knows just how he
will do in the big leagues. He struck
u 2S batters hero in a nine inning
game one day last week. The catcher
missed the third strike on a batter, so
Hiram had to strike out four men In
one inning before the side was retired
and this made his total 90 o r:ntne In

And These Were Married.

Mr.. RUFUS OrviIle McBrien, the pop
ular young manual training teacher OF
Shepherd College. brought wife home
with him when he returned from Wash
ington the first OF the week, giving
pleasant surprise to his friends here. He
might have brought her sooner, for they
were married on thanksgiving day while
he was there on vacation, though the
event had been kept secret. Mrs. Nc
Brien was Miss Marie Chase, the young
and attractive daughter OF Captain and
Mrs. Will H. Chase, OF Washington. Her
father is an officer of the United States
Army and at present is in charge OF the
government supply department in the
capital city. The wedding ceremony
was performed at the home OF the brides
parents by Rev. Mr. Bell, OF the Presby-
terrain Church. Mr.. and Mrs. McBrien
have taken Miss Hermie Graves house
for the winter, and we join with their
friends here in the hope that they may be
very happy. Monday night the college
boys and others gave them a most en-
thusiastic serenade, and though harmony
may have been lacking trifle, there was
no question as TO the volume OF the sound
produced.
