We wert defeatd in both games in scores, bui we won in something else" that w*ai far more^ important, and that was that our boys won the respect anc esteem of every person in Lake Citj that they came in contact with These are some of the sayings thai came direct to me about our boys "You have the cleanest set of boys that we have ever seen." "It must b? a pleasure to take such a set of boys 011 a trip." "You were defeated ir scores, but you have won the hearts of the Lake City people."

Below is an outline of Dr. Kirk land's sermon in the Methodis church Sunday morning, April 3rd: "Dr. Kirkland's subject last Sun day was "Encouraging Indications;' and his text was from one of th< Psalms. "I had fainted unless I hat believed to see the goodness of th< Lord in the land livng " Some of tht encouraging indications concerning the Southern Methodist church wer stated as follows: (1) There was : net gain in the Sunday Schoolg ii 19 20 of 90,201 members. (2) Tht Centenary enrolled 3,948 family al tars, but the Christian Edueatioi Movement has already enrolled ove 14,000 family altars. (4) There wer 49 8 new men granted license t> preach last year. (5) There was i net gain of 190 church buildings. (6 There wa8 a net gain of, 82,66' church members. (7) There is now i widespread and definite emphasis oi religious matters of fundamental im pcrtance. Some of the encouraging indica tions of a more general characte were also enumerated last year: Th' Presbyterians of the United State made a net gain of 43,031 members the Baptists 129,283, the Methodis >238,127; the Roman Catholics 127, '579. The total net gain of the chris jtian churches in the United State J was 712,000.

In its dareer of over fift; years some 60,000 alcoholics hav been treated by special physician and cared for by th^ home.

In talking with a large number of milk dealers in New York.

Of the third he | says, "In my deliberate judgment this is an event not merely of pass- | ing consequence, but a great event, , judged by the standard of world his- | , tory. A nation of one hundred million i 5'white men, the greatest, strongest, I I richest and in many ways the most 5' pi ogressive nation in the world, has by absolutely overwhelming majori[ ty decided that alcoholic drink of i r any sort shall be neither manufactur- I . ed, nor sold, nor imported, nor con- I t sumed in its territories." ;! c | J i Shoots Plivsician to Dentil. ? .
