Of Lydia, and having lighted bonfire
near the goods, returned to their ships
The inhabitants, knowing by the bon.
fire that the Carthaglnlaus had some
thing to sell, would come out OF their
city TO inspect 1t. Then they would
pile up gold near the merchandise and
retire into the city. The Carthage.

 There are great number of peo- pie who are trying to make the world disbelieve the old doctrines which the Apostles and Prophets made in tht oden times, trying to make people believe that there is. no such evil thing as the devil and that if there ever had been, he no longer exists.
 Poor men and women who are al ways in great sorrow nearly always blame it on God because He did not cause them to be born rich like others. They think that the only thing which can make a person happy is wealth and good times. Some say that pret- ty clothes, lots of friends, and educa- ton will make them happy. But they are all wrong There is nothing in the word which can make a man perfectly happy and contented except trust and faith in God"
 In closing his sermon, Dr. Ahlquist said that this should be land of lib- | erty for every person However, to make this possible, he said that all | should adopt the words of Jesus, "Ye shall know the truth and the truth

NEW PASTOR MAKES
 FIRST APPEARANCE
Rev. Abel AhlquiSt Speaks at
 Swedish Lutheran Church

Rev Dr. Abel Ahlquist of Provi- dence, R. l., newly appointed pastor of the Swedish Lutheran church. at tended a social event at the church here last evening under the auspices of the Brotherhood of the church. This was the first appearance of the new pastor before the members of the congregation and the hall was filled to the capacity to greet him.
 pr. Ahlquist made a favorable i'm pression upon the members of the church.
 The new pastor first spoke in Swed ish, saying he was pleased at being appointed and he would do all in his power to keep the church at it's high standing.
 He also spoke in English and told the younger generation of the church that he meant to aid them in their work in every manner possible.
 Text of sermon.
 Dr. Ahlquist went on to say, There is a certain lust with which we cannot fight for the right, nor do anything to help others. It is a weight of sin which holds us down from a place in the skies: keeps us tied down to idle ness and selfshness: will not let us do things to help others than our selves, There are so many things that make us full of fear, and yet nobody knows what it is or how to overcome it and turn to the right. A sinful man is like a steam engine with no steam; it Canot operate correctly. Tt | is the same with us, if we are run /! down by the devil we canot do cor ! re ctly the things we should.
