Taking up each clause in this beau- tiful text he was very happy in his setting forth of truth in an illustra- tive way, The good congregation greatly enjoyed his helpful message. | CEP LEIP L STR Rt 4B ALIVE IN COFFIN, a Duluth, Minn, Feb. 19. -- While the body of a three- year-old girl was about to be lowered into the grave, moisture from breathing was noticed on the glass of the coffin, and on investigation it was found she was allve and was easily resuscitated with stimulants.

He exhorted the congrega tion to remember, too, that Christian. ity had provided itself the greatest working force in the world for 2,000 years, and also the greatest working force in men's minds.
