THE MAN FROM ITALY.
The illustrated address to be
jiven by the pastor of the Presbyteran
church next Sunday night, Jan.
rth at 7:30 o'clock, is on the subject
of Home Missions, dealing especially
with the Italians. In this
mmediate section we do not have
talians. This is one reason why the
ecture is given, that we may know
tomething of the tremendous probems
that confront our Home Mission
workers, many of whom labor among
[talians.
The pictures are chosen to give
>He a good understanding of the
vork of bringing the gospel to the
housands of immigrants that come
svery week to our shores.
Some of the religious activities of
;hese foreigners which will be
hown are more like heathendom
;han anything else, and still they
sngage in them in cities where there ,
ire thousands of Christian people.
The public is welcome at all services.

and owner. Lightsey surrendered c

AIKEN, LAWYER.
Wyatt Aiken, Jr., was at at home
for the Christmas holidays, and has
returned to Washington, where he is
studying to be a lawyer in one of
the leading law schools. And he is
making good. He went to Washington
for this purpose on his own responsibility.
His father has made
it a rule to ask for no favors for
any of his relatives since he has
seen in congress. Wyatt knew this

HONORING THE AGED. e
s
Col. Andy Robinson, of Long *
I!ane, was in the city Saturday, and ?
ve saw him in earnest conversation 1
vith Congressman Aiken. As Ve a
massed we stopped to hear what was c
joing on. Mr. Robinson was telling ?
;he congressman about a trip he 11

to see some of the kin. As they n
vere on the way to make the visit b
;hey chanced to meet our old and d
vorthy citizen, Col. Patrick Roche, r
Sol. Roche spoke to "Andy", and c
Mr. Robinson spoke to "Pat", as he ii
:alled him. It happened that they tl
net Col. Roche again as he and M::s. t
Etobinson went home, and the same d
lalutations occurred. When they had a
massed Mrs. Robinson was silent for c
iwhile, and then said to Andy, Mr.
Robinson you are getting up in years
yourself, and will soon be an old man,
