At The Cumberland
Presbyterian Church

J Plans were perfected concerning
which is to be at Ballast Point, on
Friday. May 4th. There was much
interest manifest in this enjoyable af-
fair. by the alder ones as well as the
children. The junior choir. under the
7 able training of Mrs Fred Eaton,
furnished the music for the school.
The pastor chose for the subject
of the morning sermon, Loyalty,
using for a scripture text Acts Gal,
"And they departed from the pres
ence of the council, rejoicing that
+ they were counted worthy to suffer
shame for his name" In brief part,
/ he said that no man can teach what
loyalty is by theory, but we must see
illustrations of it to appreciate it.
He said that although we appreci-
ate our splendid church buildings and
enjoy magnificent sermons, these do
not compare with the inward inspira-
the church and her interests. We re-
ceive this inspiration, not because of
our appreciation of eloquence nor
magnificent architecture, but because
OF something we have done, because
we can count ourselves worthy. Suf-
fering hardships for our church
should not discourage us. but we
should rejoice in the fact that we are
counted worthy to suffer for His
cause
He stressed the fact that we cannot
be loyal to both our church and to all
classes of society, but church loyalty
will win for person more profound
respect than anything else. Men
who are more loyal to their personal
whims and social interests get very
little Of life. Disloyalty never did
win crown or a victory. If we are
loyal to God He is loyal to us. Such
loyalty is the greatest recommends.
ton any man or woman ever had on
earth.
At the evening service, his subject
was THE Power of Fear. He said
that there are not many things that
have such power over life as fear.
God has implanted it for the preser-
walton Of life, not only in man but in
wild animals; so our first impression
of it is that state of mind or instinct
that tends to procure physical safety.
I'VE have many kinds of fear, but
the one that we are most interested
in this evening is the fear of God,
which is that condition of mind which
begets love and reverence and seeks
the safety of the soul by being sub
missive to His will. When one
thinks of the greatness and power OF
God and His control over the issues
of life one stands in awe of Him
You do not have to search a mans
life to find if he fears God, for his
daily life and actions will show you
There are some things l fear to
DO and some fear not to do: we can.
not be passive in our relations to God
for He has commanded us not to dc
, as well as to do. | tremble with fear
sometimes at the language | hear
tremble for the safety for those who
seem to take pleasure in showing dis
respect to their Maker. Taking the
name of the Lord God in vain is one
of the most useless and uncalled-for
sins. The disrespect is not shown
. alone in the words exressed, but in
the state of midn. for He who knows
Of the sarrow's fall knows our Utmost
thoughts. | fear for the man who
has the grace of God offered him and
rejects it. We owe debt to Hin
G and it must be paid: the ledger must
$ and will he balanced"

Forty-Four Days and Cost $75o'ooo-
$2,500,ooo involved.

London, Jan. 1.-THE longest and
one of the most unusual lawsuits ever
heard in the English courts has just
been decided. It involved the owner
ship of S2,500,0O in gold which the
Amalgramaten Properties of Rhonesia,
Ltd, owners of a million acres in
| Rhodesia. claimed that the Globe and
Phoenix Gold Mining company, which
owns the richest gold mine in the
world, had taken from the Rhodesia
property. AS if to be consistent the
court occupied two hours in deliver
ing judgment.
The case lasted 144 days and cost
s75O,OO0. One witness was ON the
stand sixteen days, and another who
was on teh stand almost as long, died.
Two other men who were interested
in the case died before it was con-
cluded.
More than $4,000 questions were
nut to witnesses and answered. In
the final summing up counsel for the
defendants spoke for As days. Chief
counsel for the defense received a
fec of $4,000 and his "refresher" or
daily charge was $500.
The documents in the case were so
volumnous that two large rooms
were crowded with maps, assays and
reports. The proceedings were enliv-
ened by stirring scenes between op-
posing counsel and apologies were Or
dered by the court.
In deciding the case, Justice Eve
dismissed the action on the ground
that the Amalgramated Properties had
failed to prove that the gold was ex-
tracted from it's mine which adjoin-
ed that Of the Globe and Phoenix.

BEER LOWERS GERMAN
EFFICIENCY IN SHOOTING

Munich, Germany, Jan. 4.-Tests
recently conducted by the Bavarian
ministry of war upon the effect of al
cohol upon craftsmanship were car
ried out BY 20 marksmen on 20 tests
the total number of shots fired being
80, 600. The result showed, accord
ing to Prof. Dr. Kraeplin, whose re-
port on the subject is reprinted in the
Military Weekly, an average falling
off in craftsmanship of about per
cent as the result Of the consumption
of 40 grams of alcohol, corresponding
roughly to the amount contained in a
liter of beer. The effect was most per
ceptible 25 to 80 minutes after absorb
ing the alcohol. Most of the marks
men shoe even worse than the aver
age, several Of them s, 10 and even
II per cent worse. One of the anus
ing sidelights on the tests was that
several OF the riflemen insisted not
only that they could but actually were
shooting better after gettong the
spirits while in reality their marks
manship had fallen off as much as 10
per cent.
