Rev. McNeill Breaches
 to the DiscOntented

Rev John McNeill, pastor of the South Highland Presbyterian church, used the second verse of the twenty second chapter of I Samuel for the basis of his sermon last night. The sermon was directed to the discon- tented.
 Rev McNeiu read of the escape of David to the cave of Adullam and how everyone that was in distress, a"d everyone that was in debt, and every one that was discontented. gathered themselves to him, and he became cap tain over them"
 You often see people who are dis contented and do not know why" said Rev. McNeill. They themselves won der what is wrong. They tell you that their health is good. that they have accumulated a large amount Of the worlds goods, that there is apparent ly no danger of financial reverses TT of trouble, yet they are not satisfied. They are restless when they sleep. l can tell you what is needed. Their hearts are crying out for soul ease of Jesus Release your heart. Let 1t go out to Jesus.
 There is no rest of soul except that that is transplanted in the waters of Christ. And nothing Is so comforting as the absolute knowledge that you are on the right side whatever hap pens. In 1t is satisfaction ana com fort and confidence and it can come alone through Christ
 There are many who apparently succeed in every way. They, have wealth and every comfort that money can buy them, but lack the supreme comfort of soul because they with hold their hearts from Christ.
 Rev. NcNeill said that the fault of ina agining that ones neighbor has better lot in life than he had is com mon one. and showed that it is an un- worthy one.
 q expect to rub you the wrong way sometimes,' he said. 'If I do I have done you a service" He pointed out that men and women need to be touched on the sore spots sometimes to set them thinking and to show them the way to relief. He shove l how everyone is sometimes discon- tented.
 Rev. McNeill announced that next Sunday his brother. Rev Joseph Mo- Neill, will occupy the South Highland Presbyterian pulpit for both the morn ing and evening services and invited the public to attend.

 Passenger ships in the coastwise service are completely tied up by the strike Of cooks and stewards, according to H. F. stewards, association. This claim is-said to have been admitted by one ship owner Union engineers, although not called ou" on strike, late today quit work on one coastwise steamer.
 Union leaders fntimated today they might accept compromise suggested by the boat owners who, while refusing 10 grant closed shop last week informed the strikers they would give first prefer ence to American seamen and second to union men.
 Union leaders, after a conference to- day, charged that in recent disordeSs along the water front, their men had been assaulted, shot and slugged by strike breakers As a result of their meetings strikers were advised to carry no weapons and, if attacked, demand arrest of the assailants."
 The American Steamship association IS scheduled to meet tomorrow. If a com promise is not reached at this meeting, according to G. E.

"The Increasing Christ"
 by James E. billiard


 Before a large congregation yesterday morning at the Southside Baptist church Dr. James E. billiard preached sermon of unusual interest. taking as his text, He Must Increase"-John 3:30. Dr. Dill lard said in part:
 These words were spoken by John the Baptist, when his work was nearly done and that of Jesus was just begun Great men are not jealous of each other John rejoiced in the increased popularity and success of Jesus. The words are a prophecy and are greatly true. Jesus Christ is still growing in favor with men. Jesus is increasing in the estimation of the thinking wcrld. Let us not de spise the opinions of scholars. What they teach today the world will believe tomorrow. Through the ages thinkers have been weighing the claims of Jesus. Hostile critics tried to account for him by saying he had a demon, then they said he is beside himself, and finally in after centuries they said he is a myth, no such man ever lived. But the calm, honest critic replies that the words, works and character of the man show hin. to be honest and righteous, sane and sincere. He was calm. clear, simple, concrete in teaching: original, authori- tative, exhaustive, poised and timeless. He uses no sylogisms, no mathematics, metaphysics; never argues, never changes his mind or plans; never repents or confesses faults. He has no problems, is never in doubt as to what should be done; is timeless in his plans, and fear less in all his undertakings. Such a character can not be the creation of a lot of infatuated followers of a mere man.
 "The thinking world has quite gener- ally come to the conclusion that the sy stem of ethics He taught is the best the world has known; that He has marked out the lines of peace and prog ress for the nations; and those who fol- low his directions find deep and abiding peace and mighty power in their souls. He is increasing in the estimation of those who think. The greatest sin against Christ is not ignorance or doubt; but a closed mind. If any man will do His will he shall know Jesus is increasing as a moral force in society. All history gathers around Him. Asia was asleep till the knowledge of Jesus came. Jesus awakens the best inn pulses in men. The movements of our time of which we are proud are essen tially Christian in character. The tenn perance movement, the suffrage mov- ment, the educational movement, the campaign against vice and disease, the progress of democracy and the league of nations are all essentially Christian in character.
 Jesus is increasing in the affections of men. Brain says, Jesus came. Heart says, He came for me. Do men love Jesus as much as they did in olden times? Yes. There is such thing as latent patriotism that awaits the oc- casion to make itself felt to the full. So there is a latent love for Jesus that manifests itself when the occasion arises. Think of the Armenian atrocities and the

The Illicit Mhiskey Trade.

The Illicit whiskey business has
been carried on in Woodstock in de-
fiance of law. Some parties and some
places have been under suspicion for
some time.
10 addition to these, parties who are
considered above suspicion and who
regard themselves above suspicion,
are being closely watched by prohi-
bition officers and it Is said that much
of their record may be used against
them in court. These parties would
rather lose all that they have made
by this Illicit trade than to be dis
graced by public prosecution, with
a probability of a jail sentence. They
would bring disgrace not only upon
themselves, but upon their families,
who would thus be Inundated.
