 modesty in his appearzncs; that hel was addicted for several years to the use of some drug, causing sleepi- ness or stupor after taking the same;
 that, on two occasions he apparently had over-indulged in the use of in
 toxicating liquors, and based on such
 facts as they had observed, said wit
 nesses testified that in their opinion
 he was not of sound mind at the time
 he executed said will and eadicil.
 The appellants offered no testimony
 of witnesses who saw the testator
 and observed his mental condition at
 the time said instruments were execu .
 ted and offered no testimony of direc!
 or overt acts or direct attempts to sf.fluc;ice the testator in the diaposi-
 ton Of his estate, but claimed that all the circumstances above detailed and
 the surrounding circumstances in which the testat0r was placed, were sufficisnt to warrant the belief that the tsse2ter was not of testanientary capacity at the time Of tie execution of the will and was anAuly and irs1- l properly influenced in making the same. ga
 The apre.isas also offered the tes- ; timorly of a, large number Of witness es covering practically tho same pe- riod of time testified to by tine appel laEts' witnesses, of conversation with the testator. his various acts and con- duct, upon which they were convinced and testified that ths testztor was of sound mind; and the aprelles also offered testimony of the attesting wit

 From all the facts and circunstan. ces detailed at great length in tn, l trial, I have come to the conclusion that the verdict was rnauifestiy asains the evidence and justified me in tn

Between Us and the Fires of Youth was sung. Bishop Acheson gave 8 short talk to the candidates on the words Fires of Youth.
 Another hymn was sung, after which Bishop Acheson preached a stirring sermon, taking his text from Isaiah s: 2, Above him stood the seraphifr; each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he did fly" Bishop Acheson compared Isaiah to the, kaiser and told of his visits to the various camps of the na- tfonal army. He also told of writing letters to the mothers of some of the boys. He emphasized the need of giv- ing. We have no right, he said, to say at the end of our first year in the war that we have given all we can afford. If there is any man who does not give and work and act like a patriotic American in his country's hour Of need, it Is up to the entire town to get behind him and push him right up into the front line trenches.
 Bishop Acfesou told of man who complained because he could not have as much and as good bacon as former ly. There is but one answer to such a man: Tell him # it wasn't for the man in khaki who did not stay at home for bacon he would not be able to eat any at all. Bishop Acheson said there were two wings for service and the other four, he said might be likenea 1 to President Wilson's four rever- ences: For Truth, for God. for Self and i for Fellow Man. 1t is up to us to keep the two wings for service as well
 as the others in good condition or
 when called upon they, like the wings of Icarps, may fail us at the critical

There was evening prayer and an address at the Sheltering Arms, Sun- day afternoon, by Rev. William A. Smith, rtctor of St. Andrews Episeo- pal church, Greeneville. In speaking from Romans BPS, We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, Rev. Mir. Smith said: My text is an anchor for faith. for it teaches US that the joys and sorrows Of the Christian life are directed by Providence It is we'll, was the strik- ing answer given by the Shunainite was the answer of faith---faifii in Gods wisdom, in spite of suffering.
 Human character needs joy and sor. row to ensure its full development, for tho richest joy is born of sorrow. The halle3u1ahe of the church were born in the agony of Christ. Can we thank God for suffering? Before Te answer let us remember that the fullest life is found in struggle and hardship; without some part in work and fight and trial man never comes to mans estate. After suffering comes a new sympathy and gentleness to enrich life. Some day when at last we know as we are known we shall thank God for suffering.
 With special reference to Palm Sun day was the solo, The Palms, given in fine voice by Mrs. Edward Grifith. The girls choir with Miss Winifred Baker accompanying, sang sweetly the hymns which included, 0 Sacred Head, Now Wounded, Nunc Dimittis, and Rejoice Give Thanks and Sing.
