To Keep the Sabbath The weather interfered with the at tendance at the union meeting at Trinity Methodist church last night, but those who came out were amply repaid in the splendid address deliver ed by Rev. W. II. Molester, of Blairs ville. Pa., who gave a most interesting and inspiring talk on the Christian and civil Sabbath. He said in part:. The Sabbath as an institution is of divine appointment and is fortified behind divine law, it is binding upon all classes of people, it is maintained both by rewards and pen alties "If you turn away thy foot from cHv.ath fmm doine thy pleasure rTi . Ariv niv rlav." etc. On the other hand the captivity of the Jews is sup posed to be the equivalent in point of period for the time taken from God by robbing Him of His Sabbath. - Rail roads act upon the same principle to dav and it is doubtful if they gain a dollar bv Sabbath day traffic. The ex iting relation between the antecedent cause and the certain consequence is .viiv srnrrefl bv railroad companSs nA wnrldlv corporations. ' And yet enh a rpl.ition exists everywhere, and oil Honnrtments of life. Six wrecks were mentioned by the speaker as oc ,,irincr nn the main line of the Penn sylvania Railroad in 1902, in which the loss of life and property fell exclus iAiv nnn the company. In the month of npppmher 100 lives were crushed out in three wrecks occurring in different -,0 r.t ti,o pniintrv. And now tne yai i.z , nrpss the PX nonent of the public mma holds those railroads responsible for th fpnrful loss of life. ' Our concern may not be needed so much for the safety of the Sabbath as an institution as on behalf of the poor Sabbath breaker: He is the loser now and may he throughout eternity. The chief dif ficnitv in the Sabbath and temperance is to get access to the classes who most of all need this 'wont, even me se quent John B. Gough did not address needed to hear him most. ' . The speaker analyzed the Sabbath as having-lifterent sidesfeacn nue a am reflectine its beauty and benign ity as a medium of blessing to men and at the same .time reflecting the glory of God. First, its natural side, a part of creation. The principle of rest is in corporated into everything about it to day. The horse needs rest and machin ery as well as man. Second, it is pro motive of the spiritual and divine life. Third, its moral side adapted to all times, all people and all conditions of life. The infinite mind had in view the social, commercial and industrial rela tions of this age when he gave this law as a rule of action. Fourth, it is the Christian Sabbath. And now we ob serve the first day of the week as the Christian Sabbath in commemoration of Christ's resurrection on that day. Mark 16:9. The resurrection is funda mental in the Gospel system. The Christian Sabbath is a beautiful and appropriate memorial of the historical fact that w have a risen; living - Re deemer. "She very essence of this ques tion lies iff the manner, spirit and mo tive of Sabbath observance. There is the .'right way of keeping the Sabbath in distinction from the wrong, as on every other question, "We may know how to keep it if we will carry this question to the Lord. "If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them." Fifth, its civil side. It must have a place in civil law to protect us from the encroachments of Sabbath break ers. This is one reason for the Sabbath laws by the State. It is the right duty or the State to make laws in defense of the Sabbath. It is to the State we look to, secure to us our inalienable rights. One of these is the rest of the Lord's day. It is estimated that 3,000, 000 men aie under necessity to work ing in this Christian country on the holy SaDbath. The open postoffice, car rying and handling of the mails, and running the trains on that day is the occasion of this Sabbath work. The speaker in closing called atten tion to the Sunday paper and other ac tivities which are most promotive of Sabbath desecration. He made an ap peal to the audience to stand by and defend this sacred day by their exam ple and influence. - The address made a splendid impres sion on the audience and was heard with evident interest. - .Attending Court at Monroe. : Mr. - Plummer Stewart, of the Char lotte bar, has gone to Monroe to at tend court in that city. The court, a civil term, opened this morning with a full docket. MOTHER r A N D CHILD ;? Scott's Emission, is cod li vef oil made almost ' "as palatable as milk.

His Article in the Medical Magazine ... About Coffee. One of the most famous medical publications in the United States is the "Alkaloidal Clinic," in a recent number of which an entertaining ar ticle, on coffee by a progressive phy sician and surgeon is published. In explaining his position in the matter this ' physician recently said : "In' the article in question I really touched but lightly upon the merits of Postum Food Coffee. I have had several cases of heart trouble, indi gestion and nervousness where a per - manent cure was effected by . merely using Postum m place of coffee with out . any other , treatment. "In my. own family I have used Postum lor three' years and my chil dren actually, cry for it and will not.be satisfied with any other-beverage. . In deed they refuse to eat until they have had the1 customary cup of Postum and as it is a rebuilder and doe3 nothing but good ' I am only too ; glad to let them have it.: ; "To get the best results we boil. the Postum. at 'least 20 minutes and it is then 7 settled by adding -, a, little cold, water, then the addition of .fresh cream makes . a beverage I 'now. prefer to the very, best coffee.'' Name given by Postum Oo. Battle Creek, Mich.' Authorities are Agreed that Postum is a wonderful quick anct sure -re-builder. Ten days trial in place of coffee proves if. .

Hook estimates that the ac tual property destroyed amounts to about $25. As to papers, drawings, etc Mr. Hook does not know yet what pa pers are missing.

Purviance had been drinking before going to the office and that he remembered nothing of the affair after reaching the office. .Ed.

" - A white man from the country was on the streets Saturday evening and according to Officer Jetton, was making the claim that he could whip anybody in. town. - , When Officer Jetton heard the state ment" and walked up, the man modified his statement by adding "if the police will let me." He was fined with the costs. . : . .-. Saturday evening Officer Summerrow heard a rumbling in a negro house and indications of coming trouble. In vestigation was made and ' Charlie Houston, a negro man was found inside, squabbling with a negro' woman.

Marion Crawford's novel, "In the Pal ace of the King." several theatre par ties composed of the leading social and fashionable people of this city, have been formed to welcome the favorite astress.

The Buffaloes again met defeat at the hands of their opponents, score 29 to 23. - The Buf faloes seem to have a streak of hard luck, as' they have failed to secure single game of tlfe series. Four games have been played and of the number the Panthers have won two and the Kangaroos two. The fight for the championship stands between these two teams. The Panthers will play the Kangaroos Friday night instead of Saturday. . ' Rev. Mr. Fry at.Y. M. C. A. Notwithstanding the inclement, weather the meeting for men at the Y. M. C.

Taking out a policy of life assur ance early in life is like crossing a river near its source. The cost of as? surance is then 'lowest, and the width of the river is there narrowest.

The longer, he waits, the larger will be the premium he must pay annually. If he should defer the matter until old age, the -cost might be prohibitive.
