Hager, of this city, is being urged by His friends to enter the race fcr the Democratic nomination for congress frcm the Ninth district, and it is i litvcd that will announce himwif witiiia a few days.

Many of Mr. Hager' friends have been to see him Were Well 'Attendee! With Good Sermons and Music. Good Missionary Discourses tam- By diyj. ii. stuart, of China.1 A Successful Tchf Meeting Boins Ileltl By Main Street Church at Plum and Main Streets.

A good SEinrox: joxail Sunday, though a typical July day, witnessed very good congregations in all the churches, where in. most cases, the pulpits were filled by the regular pasters. The music at the various churches was very good, many anthems and special soles being rendered by the best singers in the 1 Cumberland Presbyterian Church. The sermon dealt with the life of Abraham as exemplifying the truths that every man's life is-a plan cf God, and that a man's life finds its arena of usefulness in the church. The discourse was short and the pastor quickly brought his remarks to a close in order to introduce to the ccngega-tion Judge W.

E. Settle, cf the Kentucky state court of appeals, a prominent Cumberland Presbyterian, a ruling elder in ths church at Bowling moderator of the general assembly at Dallas, and a member of the committee which negotiated the union of the Cumberland Presbyterian church and the Presbyterian church U. A. Ccming frcm such'a source, his account cf the rise and the progress of the union was exceedingly interesting and very instructive. He showed how, beginning with a sentiment against the union and a feeling that its agitation was premature, he had found th? Presbyterian committee so cordially in favor of it and so en thusiastic over the revision cf 1S03 and the consequent harmony between the Westminster and the Cumberland confessions, that the last objection had disappeared.

He told how the joint report was mainly the work of tht Cumberland committee and how. in the deliberations, preference was given to the wording desired by them as the vitally interested party. The address was replete with the spirit of kindnes an unity and-gave-much sound advict regarding the future. The speaker declared "himself highly gratified over the successful completion of the work and infinitely hopeful regarding the enterprises of the reunited church. At the close of the services, the people gave him an ovation and many were the expressions of -gratitude for the excellent and luminous elucidation of the matter.

The pastor preached at Byers chapel at night; the subject of the sermon was "God's Gift of the Holy Spirit," and the greater part of the time was devoted to reading and commenting on the thirty-fourth chapter cf thf new confession cf If 1 First Presbyterian. The services at the First Presbyterian church were conducted by the pastor, Rev. Leslie H. Hudson, who preached two forcible sermons to good congregations. In the morning the subject of the sermon was, "Pet ers Confession," Matthew, 16:18: "And I say unto thee, That Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will buili my church, and the gates t-r hell shall not prevail against it." At this service jliss May Hays sang Shel ley's "Resurrection," splendidly.

Her singing lias gained in style and her voice has 'developed greatly by study. At night, Mr. Hudson preached on "David and Goliath," irorn the text as found in I. Samuel, 17:50 and Miss Hays sang Lindsay's "Come Unto Me." Fourth Street Presbyterian. Dr.

John L. Stuart, cf Hang Chowj China, preached at the Fourth street Presbyterian church at both morning and evening services. Dr. Stuart has been a missionary of trie South ern Presbyterian church in China, for forty years, and bis discourse at these services was upon the' work and its difficulties. Dr.

Stuart has four churches under his care, three of which heathen temples. His account of the work in this field was full al interest. He says there are fully 100,000 native Christians in China, but that there is a most wonderful opportunity for the spread of the gospel in China i 5- 4, TtirWiJ-Hpiscopil. The regular services-' at Trinity Lpiscopal church, were conducted by the; rector, Rev. Irvine Goddard.

IS YOUR MENTAL TOOL-BOX WELL SUPPLIED! Every householder pnides himself upon liis ability when occasion demands to handle a hammer, saw or chisel upon a knack of driving an "emergency nail" or cf doing most any sort of a "can't wait job."

Man being a "tool-using animal," discovers, too, that in his daily life he needs tools not made of steel in-tangible tools mental implements mental hammers, saws, squares, bits, chisels, planes and the knack of using them.

At night the sermon was based oni the 144th psalm, 12 verse, "That our sons may be as plants grown, up in their youth; that our daughters maybe as corner stones, polished al'ter the similitude of a palace." At the evening service, Miss Margaret Puckett sang the sold," "Tell Mother 1 11 Be There." First Baptist.

Dr. A. T. Robinson, of Louisville, preached Sunday morning and evening at the First Baptist church. In the morning, the subject of his sermon was "Mary, the Mother of Jesus," Luke 1:49, 2:33, and at night, the topic was, and was a highly original and interesting exposition of theprophet, Jonah, whose resistance to the call of God, and desires to do God's work in his own way were delightfully interpreted with a quaint humor, which fitted the prophet's idiosyncrasies to each individual's peculirities.

Not only the congregation of the First Baptist church but all who have heard Dr. Robertson during the summer, will regret that this was his last sermon, as he preached with much power and earnestness, and was skilled in the interpretation of the Scriptures. Miss Elinor Taylor sang a solo, "Light of the World," at the morning service, and Mr. Fisher, who is to lead the singing at the Chautauqua, sans a solo at night, revealing a strong, sweet voice, and good technical ability. Third Baptist.

Fairly good crowds were In attendance at Sunday school and the morning and evening services. For the morning discourse, Dr. Nowlin's text was "Preach the Word," 2d 4:2. In discussing this it was said that ministers, teachers, parents and all of Christ's followers should obey this command, and that our lives must accord with our teaching. There are many people who have no conception of Christianity except as portrayed in our daily conduct.

The most eloquent sermon ever preached is the influence of an earnest Christian life. The text for the evening service was Ecclesiastes, and a strong appeal was made for the ercise of the powers God bestows upon his people. "No matter how small the place we may fill in the affairs of life, there are opportunities for us to do great good. We do not all. have the tamo porsibilitiei but whatever our talents may be it is our duty to use them, and he.
