Our people of all' churches had heard of him and the i crowd gathered early. I Dr. Dixon preached a great ser- mon. His theme was "The Cross of i Christ and Its Glories." He took I plenty of time, ' arid packed the ripe study and preparation of forty years into that one great utterance. He has a book ' containing twenty one sermons on the one subject "The Cross of Ch'st." Oxford got the heart of the book Sunday night. Deep, profound, and scholarly and yet so simple a child could grasp it, he held up our great Savior and urged us to adore and worship and crown Him. He believes his mes sage. The Bible is God's own Book to him. The cross, of which he spoke, is as real to A. C. Dixon as his hands and feet or the breath he breathes. It has been many a day since our people heard a greater gos pel sermon. The Lecture. A fine audience heard him Mon day evening on "Present Day World i Movements; Their Sources nd Per in ti. to dealt 7 many i of the sins of the day and with such matters as the Irish question, our re lation to England, etc. Dr. Dixon's home is In Brooklyn, N.

YOUNG WOMEN ARE " ARRrVING AT OXFORD COLLEGE FOR THE SESSION School Will Begin At 9 O'clock To morrow Morning Oxford Graded Schools AVill Begin Next Monday Morning. Oxford takes on new life with the arrival or more than 100 young wo men who enter Oxford College for the fall session this morning at 9 o'clock. The Oxford graded schools will open next Monday morning. As a general proposition the little girls are ready and anxious for the open ing, but most of the little boys re gard the event as an abridgement of their sovereign rights. Samuel Johnson said, "Life, to be worthy of a rational being, must be always in progression; we must al ways purpose to do more or better than in time past." This purpose should animate every boy and girl as they begin the new school year.
