BIBLE CLASS HAS
 LARGE ATTENDANCE
907 Men Present at Methodist
 Church Sunday Morning

Nine hundred and seven, the largest number so far, were in attendance at the meeting of the Everyman's Bible class at the Methodist church yes terday morning. The Blue army had the largest attendance, with 4s2 men present, while the Reds had 425.
 Following the exercises the men gathered in group in front of the building and had their pictures taken by Murray the photographer. Yes terday was the Rev. John l.. Davis last Sunday before leaving for Ber- muda, where he will spend two weeks with his wife. Rev. Mir. Davis an- nounced that Rev. MT. Marion of Leonia, New Jersey, would be the speaker for next Sunday and hoped that the entire class would turn out to greet him. On the following Sun day pr. Crawford will address the class
 His last talk on applied psycholog, was given yesterday morning. In his talk MT. Davis said that large num- Der of people worry themselves into trouble and into their graves. This is not caused by overwork or work ing too little It is only the worry and thoughts that make people what they are, he said.
 He also urged the, congregation to take their time in doing any line ot work and not to hurry as it is most always the small man who has not time for himself while it is the DIE man who has plenty.
 Another big idea brought out by Mir. Davis was that of debating thoughts. Many a man stays small Tn his life, MT. Davis said, merely pe- cause his thoughts are always de- batting and are never given a chance to develop. This condition can only be overcome, according to r.'Davis by the fact that each man should have his ambition and strive for 1t.
