GETTING AND HOLDING LIBERTY, j - Miss Nichols' discourse at the Methodist church last night was upon "Stand Fast In the liberty wherewith Christ hat made you Free." This Is not a liberty from sorrow or disappointment, said the speaker, for these may be educational. It Is a liberty from sin; its guilt and its burden. It is a liberty from bondage and evil habit. This noble liberty must be maintained just as any other liberty must bepracticed and preserved. It was an inspiring message and many showed they believ
ed the Christian faith Just as she taught it. She will conduct a praise service at 7:30 o'clock this evening; the sermon will follow. Mr. R. E.
