First Methodist.
The Sunday school rally at the
Methodist church last Sunday morn
ing was attended with unusual inter
est. The attendance was large and
several interesting addresses on Or
phans' Home work were heard.
At eleven o'clock the pastor. Rev.
T. J. Christian, preached from II
Peter I; 5-11 hi which the apostle
enumerates some of the necessary
traits of a true Christian character—
••For,” writes Peter, ‘‘if ye do these
things, ye shall never fall; for
so an entrance shall be ministered
unto you abundantly into the ever
lasting kingdom of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ.’’ The sermon
was a strongly convincing one.
At the evening service the pastor
preached another very strong sermon
on the‘-Second Coming of Christ.”

First Baptist.
The First Baptist Sunday-school
■was very well attended last Sunday
morning. After the lesson was over

The present officers were re-elected,
with the exception of the chorister,
which selection will be made next
Sunday. At the U-o’clock service
Rev. M. C. Jackson preached a very
strong sermon to an attentive con
gregation. The text was from James
1:27. ‘-Pure religion and undefiled
before God and the Father is this,
To visit the fatherless and the wid
ows in their affliction, and to keep
himself unspotted from the world,”
and Rev. Jackson presented the
truths of the passage in a very forci
ble manner.
A good congregation heard Mr.
Jackson again at the evening service
in a very earnest discourse.

Master and Savior.
Men are often told that they must
simply’ believe in Christ as Savior
and trust themselves to him and
his atonement and be sure, then,
that they are forgiven men. with
their sins washed away, with the
bad record of the past wiped out
and that for all future sin they must
come to the Savior with the same be
lief and expect the same result—that
is the whole of much of the preaching
and other religious instruction of
this day. This is told men so con
stantly that religion and belief in
Jesus as Savior ONLY have become
too perfectly synonomous. The ques
tion: “Does he live right?” is hid
den away’ and the one question be
comes: “Does be believe right?”
The question of high Christian con
duct is lost in the question of “sim
ply’ trusting.” People are taught to
sing:
“Nothing either er. nt or small
Remains for me to do.’’
until they come to feel that in the
practice of the Christian life there is
really’ nothing for them to do. Now,
the mischief is not that such teach
ing is not correct. The method of
salvation is the most prone and un
reserved trust on Jesus Christ as
Savior. The verse—
•'Notliing either great or small
Remains for me to do:
Jesus died aiid paid it all
Ag. s long ago’
as far as the way of forgiveness is
concerned, is Scripturally,philosoph
ically and gloriously true. In my
thinking, my living, my preaching I
magnify this cardinal fact. But, 1
insist, too, that men in thus coming
to Christ, do. by the terms of their
coming, put a real chasm between
the old life out of Christ and the new
life in Christ. Men have not enough
been taught that they cannot accept
Christ SIMPLY as Savior. They must,
at the same time, accept him as thei,
Lord and Master. To know and t "
do the will of Christ Jesus becomes
the supreme thought of him who in
the real sense trusts him. The ques
tion: "Lord, what shall Ido ?” and
the kindred: "Lord, what shall I not
do?” become the guerdons of spir
itual strength and influence. True,
vital religion is not simply trusting
Christ, as Savior, but, it is enthron
ing him in the heart as absolute Sov
ereign of the being.

PENSION LIST
Os the United States Almost Reaches
the Million Mark.
Washington,“Oct. 1. — Ihe annual
report of the commissioner of pen
sions shows that the number of names
on the pension list is drawing closer
to the million mark. The total en
rollment July 1 last was 999.446,
against 997.735 last year. The total
comprises 738,809 soldiers and 260,637
widows and dependents. The aggre
gate includes 4,695 pensions outside
the United States.
The number of death notices of old
soldiers, not now in the service, re
ceived by the bureau during the year
was 50,128. but only’ 27,043 of them
were pensioners.
The report says that the death rate
among the pensioners the coming
year will be about 40,000. and the loss
es to the rolls from other causes will
be about 6.000.
The total amount paid for pensions
during the fiscal year was $137,504,-
268, and the yearly cost of operating
and maintaining the bureau and the
! agencies, outside of the payment of
pensions proper, aggregates $3,590,-
529. The pension system, says the
report, since the beginning of the
government has cost $1,992,509,019.
■ exclusive of the establishment of the
soldiers’ homes.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing. and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con
dition. hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
inflamed condition of the mucous
services.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness that cannot
be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.

Reflections of a Bachelor.
Most friendship wouldn’t keep even

It’s unlucky for a boy who needs

You could not get a girl with frebk

A man can make a woman suffer
all he pleases without turning her
against him, but he must not ignore
her.
I’he handicap which a person start
