CADE'S SERMON SUNDAY ThU Wai a Very Interesting Subject, and One That Wai Very Entertaining From an Intellectual Point of View, and Com mended by a Large Audience. A largo congregation greeted script ion of their little country Rev.

Rev.

"The early Christian rhurch was confined principally to Jerusalem, but after the death of Stephen, the first Christian martyr, the persecution which followed, scattered the disciples of Christ over Judea and Samaria, and was I tie means of spreading the new faith, for 'they went everywhere preaching the gospel.' So, too, years later, when Paul was sent to his martyrdom at Rome, the followers of Christ were scattered over various parts of Europe. Among those that went forth as 'guardians of t ho truth' was a faithful band of refugees, known as the Waldonisans, which I have designated as "the oldest Presbyterians.' They found a home in the rugged valley of Piedmont, and there kept al've the light of the faith." Then followed an elaborate de- SOCIALISM VERY MUCH MI5UN0ERSTQ0D BY MANY An Address Delivered by C.

Referring to the Presbyterian church on the American con tinent reference was made that Presbvterianism had been the chief factor in securing individual richts and liberty to the American citizens. The fact was hrnusrhf out, that the Scotch-Irish Prosbv terians were the first to acritale separation from Groat Britain. .And also that more than half of the officers and soldiers In the Revolutionary war were Presbv lerians. and that in TCneland it was called a Presbyterian rebel lion. In closing Rev. Ondo said: "Thh Presbyterian church, great in her mission, great in human learn ing, great in her thoueht and life, has come up thronirh the aires bearing upon her broad brow the battle scars of manv a fierce con flict, her heart pierced through and through, her side drinpinar wilh blood, bearing the crimson hands and the crimson feet, like her Master, coming un from Edom with dved garments." If we should say in this ad that we can furnish you the best suit of clothes you can buy for $20, no matter where you go or send for them, would you believe it? You doubtless are from Missouri. But when we make such a statement as that, and we do make it, are you willing to give us a chance to prove it? In other words, are you willing to be shown? We can't prove to you the truth of our statement without you give us a chance : locomotivos and effectively used in preventing conflagrations on the tracks. A test of the appliance was recently made at the Ewing avenue shops of the Missouri Pa cific in St. Louis, which was wit nessed by Assistant Chief John F. Rarry of the St. Louis fire depart ment. and Chief James T. O'Don nell of the St. Louis Underwriters' Salvage corps. It was demon strated that a stream of watoi could be thrown 65 feet in the air with 200 pounds of steam pres sure on the locomotive. In a let ter to Acting General Manager J. V. Uiggins of the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain, Messrs. Barry and O'Dnnnell endorsed the appliance so strongly that it has been decided to equip all yard en gines on the entire system and some of the road locomotives wilh it, The tanks of the large yard en gines hold 6,000 gallons of water. Mr. Barton's plan is to carry 50 feet of one and one-quarter-inch steam hose on a reel under the running board of the engine. Steam hose is used, as the water which comes from the tank and Is forced through the branch pipe is very hot and in a short time would destroy the ordinary rubber hose. The connection is placed on the branch pipe between the boiler check and injector. The idea is that when an engine reaches the scene of a fire in the yards a switchman is to jerk the hose from the reel and attach it to the coupling leading from the branch pipe, and the engineer is to start, the injector, while the tlreman goes out on the running board and opens the valve in the branch pipe leading to the boiler check. The stream of water can then be turned on the conflagration. Mr. Barton, who designed the apparatus, was for a number of years general inspector of the St Louis Fire Prevention buerau, and savs that many disastrous fires in railroad yards are caused by the inability of the city fire engines to get 'close to the scene, whereas railroad locomotives can reach the scene in the shortest possible time by running over the road's own tracks The cost of the apparatus in stalled will be $35, and by its use everv locomotive will be made a fire-fighting engine. smog a - i i UNITED IN IHE HOLY Another Account of Marriage of Miss Anna Parkenlng and William Haffke.

Fi. (). society, C. A. Raw Is ad dressed that society Friday after noon on the subject of socialism. The subject was treated from the standpoint of an independent in vestigator, and the address show ed that the speaker had read widely upon this subject and knew something about what is claimed by the leading thinkers of the socialistic party of today, as well as what the greatest of all think ers and writers in that school of political philosophy, Karl Marx, thought and taught. Socialism, said the speaker, is very much misunderstood by those who oppose it, and by those who claim to bo its adherents. The address only claimed to present a few of the fundamental doctrines of socialism as advanced by the best leaders of that party. The philosophy of socialism; the economics of socialism and the social commonwealth, as sot forth by Kark Marx, was explained and discussed. The constant aim and purpose of the socialistic move ment is to secure for labor a greater and more just share of the wealth that it alone produces. To attain that end this school teaches that it is necessary for the people as a collective body to obtain the control of the means of produc tion, not by revolution or rebel lion, but by using the political machinery of our government by getting into the hands of the poo- i pie, gradually and my lawful I means, by process of education, I development and evolution of i Ihoucht, belief and of a social consicence and consciousness, the political power of the government. By this means can they more easily bring about the great economical changes which they believe necessary for the welfare and common good of all the citizenship of the republic. The great fundamental truth which is believed and taught by this party, is that labor is the great produc er and creator of values and wealth, and that under the pres ent svstem of capitalism, it is not getting its just share that labor is onlv getting a sufficient of the value it produces to perpetuate it self, that Is to live, to go on pro ducing for the benefit of capital. Many points of interest were brought out bv tho speaker; and he declared that say and think what we will, that the socialistic partv has a mission to perform and is today in our own political Warm Floors Insure the Children's Health This successful heating stove supplies the demand for a handsome, economical magazine hard coal stove with mica illumination, having the heating capacity of a large base burner which can be sold to you at a low price.
