The Taneilst!c services In Prltch- art V.morlal church continue with faoreasiar Interest, Lt night the church wea full, the stales were filled, and H became necessary to open the great folding- doors and use the Sun day school room to seat the people. There were many requests for prayer : and four professions of faith- The presence of the Confederate veterans choir. led by Mr. C. B .Sykes .added to the Interest and enjoyment of the meeting. Rev. J. T. Jepklns preached with great power from the text 'Prepare to Meet Thy God." He (rave three reasons: First, because "we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ;"' second, because we are not naturally prepared for meeting Ood In Judgment "we do not have to make any preparation to go to hell;" third, because, most of us probably have come years to live and we arc not fit to live on God's earth until are prepared to me-t Him in Judgment. He dwelt on this last pclnt. and said among other thing. The man who Uvea on God's hountv unmindful of Him. serving his own pleasures and lusts. Is a parasite Made In the Im age of Ood and for fellowship with God, he accepts the gifts of Jod with out even being prepared to stand be fore Htm. "If only two persons in. tils audience to-night could be saved, on a man of ninety and the other a boy of ten, we Would unheettRtlngly say, save tho boy, because he ha a life before him. "Which he can use for (Jort. Ood wants Our lives hero as well a3 our souls hereafter. The meanest possible mo tive, the most selfish and unworthy, is that which cares only for the pun ishment Of hell, while seeking to give the life to pleasure or selfishness. 'To live a Oodly life here and meet Ood hereafter a man must face. con Jess and turn away from his sins to Jesus Chii't for salvation." The meeting s continue to-day at 3 :30 in the afternoon and 7:45 at night. l'KDDIRK ARRKSTF.I. Two Young Men In CnMdy of the riloe Charged With Peddling Without Uoeine.

Then there Is the fulfillment of what is both a duty and privilege to the public of to-day and especially the republic's youth. That the young may take up the acute responsibilities of mundane existence not Ignorant of what things their fathers have wrought, but thrilled by the record that Is written in the annals of their State this surely la ' a. consumma tion devoutly to bo wished."
