The Hone of the Nation is Christian Homes A Wholeiale Roasting. There was a wholesale Toasting at the tabernacle last night Evan gelist Stuart was the roast master; and the tabernacle was so full of people that every sentence nit some one. There was no parley ing with words but a continuous cannonading of popjilar ideas and practices. If there was one per son in the house who, was not hit he must have done some powerful dodging. The preachers7 subject was Daniel, the man who purposed in his heart that he would not de tile himself. The various temp tations tbat came to JJaniei were taken up and discussed in the light of the present century. ne pnn- opal tempiauons were money, nncitinn onrl nornrr III7A riirp TSi 1 Er tt I jaaji biuu uuvi jki.i aviu.

The politician came in for his share of just deserts at the hands of the preachor- 4A man who will buy a vote will sell one if you pay him his price; a man who will sell a vote will sell a principle; if be will, sell one principles he will sell all principles and if he will sell principles be is a con summate scoundrel. Put the first and last clauses together and you have my idea of any man who will tamper witb the American ballot. Give us more statesmen. and fewer polilicians.' Several .incidents were cited where men had turned others to eood and become srreat themselves because they had a purpose and dared to stand for the right. Yesterday afternoon the taber nacle was crowded to hear a prac tical sermon on a practical subject, "Home-Life." The hope of the nation, it was held, is Christian homes and the hope of the home is Christian authority and example, The mother and father who are not living right before their child- I ren were arraigned in scathing terms and warned of the awful consequences of their manner of life and- example. At the close of the sermon an invitation was extended for all parents who would promise to live better in their family life to come up and give the preacher their hands. , This invitation was so poorly responded to that the congregation was dis missed suddenly, without a bene diction, the preacher stating that he was glad to see the people were so good. He said he bad preach ed this same sermon all over the country with the same invitation at the close and never had it been so poorly responded to. No doubt, however, the ' sermon did much good. Saturday night the text was the same as Friday night: "As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good, etc." He plead for the helping of mankind whenever op portunity offers. The statement tbat "all thing work together for good to them that love the Lord," was defended as being absolutely and always true. Mr. Stuart made a few forceful remarks at the Methodist church yesterday morning after the ser mon by the pastor. This morning the subject was Pentecost or the presence and power of the Holy Ghost. Mr. Stuart touched on some of the evils. He said cursing is a worse crime than stealing a hog and he quoted the commandments on the subject. The one against stealing itiis a simple statement while the one asrainst taking the Lord's name in vain was emphasized. "Every vice is only a corrupted virtue and the devil doesn't own an vt bin or in this world," said the 8pea,ker. ? At the close calls for backsliders hiV prayers were ma le n nd a .number responded. f notes.' , Lasti j night contributions were solicited to have half a dozen more windows put in the, building.

She is ill but it is hoped that it will not prove se rious. Miss Bost will probably be treated at the sanatorium. A Bad Fall i A little boy of Mr. C. H.
