Union Gospel Meetings. The interest and enthusiasm shown in the revival services is becoming more and w idespread. The audiences are taking a more active part in those parts of the service in which they may participate. Rev. Ostrom 'stalk to the aged appealed to the heart strongly, perhaps the most of all the sermons he has delivered in this city. During the first part of the service, Mr. Ostr m read the twenty-third psalm, and commented upon each verse. He revealed new and beautiful thoughts which this much quoted psalm contains. The sermon of the morning, however, was taken from the second chapter of St. Luke. Mr. Ostrom showed with what deference and hour God held old age, and what a great compliment he paid to age when he had Christ first presented in the temple to Simeon and Anna both of whom were very old. The evangelist said that at no other time of one's life is one's influence for good or evil so powerful as in old age; giving as proof instances of .the conversions of some of the most prominent Christian men of today, their conversions being due to the prayers or example of some aged person. The subject of Thursday's afternoon service was, "Man's duty toward converting his fellowmen." . Mr. Ostrom said there could be no doubt but that it was man's business whether or not his neighbor was at peace with God that when man was confident that God called him to help his unsaved brother, there should be no faltering nor hesitation. At the evening service, reading, from the text, "For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of; but the sorrow of the world worketh death." The evangelist pictured the two lives the one consumed by a selfish, worldlike sorrow; the other by the noble, Christlike sorrow. He also developed the thought that a man seeking repentance need not grovel further in the dust nor enter the valley, but should rise higher andhigher to meet his Savior and receive his blessing. The revival services of Friday afternoon and evening were the most appealing and impressive of the services of the entire week. . The afternoon 's address was a powerful appeal for man to accept the fuller life which Jesus Christ brought into the world. Rev. Ostrom showed the difference in the meaning of the -word "life" as Christ used it, from any meanings hitherto given to this word. Many church members belong to a class "just alive'' Christians neither feeling the benefits of such a religion for themselves nor for others. But this is not the kind of a Chrisian the Savior meant tor man to be. Man has only to make himself passive and submissive to God's will and the "fuller life" of Christ will come to him, in great abundance and all-sufficiency. The auditorium of the Methodist church was filled with mostly young people in the evening, who listened to Rev. Ostrom's address on "What do I live for?" The evangelist said that although he has put this question to many people, the answer he usually receives is, "I really do not know what I am living for." Mr- Ostrom compares this aimless kind'of a life to a ship sailing from port but whose captain has not decided what her route or course, or to which.country she will go. The evangelist sa'c! that often a man lived for unworthy things as appetite, clothing ease or influence. While the world was trying all kinds of experiments to find what was worth living for, Christ came to earth and brought to light Truth and Life, the most sublime end for which man can live. Rev. Ostrom concluded his address with an earnest appeal lor all to live for Christ. Hialth and Beauty.

IF WE WERE BOYS AGAIN.

Another Talk to the Old Men That Will ' Carry Them Back to Their Boyhood Days. W. M.LIguett In the Whlilfy County News. See here you old men! Week before last we left that boy we had been talking about at school at about fifteen years old, the wcrst time in the world for a boy to be neglected. I thought for a while we'd not have anything more to say about him or to do with him, almost concluded to let him get sick and die or let somebody else raise hin from fifteen on up to twenty-one, but I can't, we have brought him along so far and he don't seem to havi any friends who vyill look after him, so we must worry along with him,' for a while yet, anyway. There are few places open for a boy of fifteen, .lie is awkward and green, usually, I was anvwav, and his feet and 0 J WW hands are several sizes too large for him and are in the way. Iiis clothes don't fit, and his nose is freckled and turns up too at the, end and he still "snuffs." He is between two trying positions. He is too big to cry and tell mother all his troubles and trials, and he is not old enough nor big enough to bear them alone. He usually feels friendless, alone and misunderstood. He is at the "parting of the ways" a friendly word and a goodly share of sympathy just at this time will shape his future life. If he falls into unsympathetic and wicked hands, he goes astray and mother and father wonder what has gotten over "Willie" that he seeks such doubtful company, and is not interested in his work nor school anymore. He develops a fondness for very questionable reading about this time and on Sundays he and Tom Smith are often found in the hay mow reading "The Boy Detective, or How Johny Jones Rescued Susie Smith from the Bandit's Cave." He don't go to Sunday School anymore, Sunday School literature is nowhere, when compared to the kind he can buy at any book store for a nickle. He will get the nickle by selling a few extra eggs, maybe. Sometimes the boy is made bad by another mistaken method. At the age we are now talking about, a boy is awkward and uncomfortable. Often not very well dressed, not Dossibly thought to be necessary that he should be he is bashful and very susceptible to ridicule to be compelled to go to church and Sunday School in his homemade clothes is a misery and he rebels. He is scolded and forced to go whether he wants to do so or not, . and he gets disgusted and resolves to never go another time after he is of age, and don't, except to funerals. Possibly he does go to church and listens to the good t rothers tell how good they are and what firm resolves to remain so they have made. Then some time after he trades the long legged, frowsyly colt his father gave him to one of th i deacons and gets the worst of it in the trade by several points. . He gets suspicious then of the whole business at once, and thinks one old hypocrite is a sample of the whole congregation, always excepting mother. But this boy we were talking about veek before last, the boy you and I were, the life we would live over again up to the age of fifteen, we will return to him, he is different, he just lives and takes things as they come. I believe I was talking about him as though I was the boy myself, just to save time and avoid being too personal you know, and not hurt your feelings by telling things maybe you didn't do. 1 don!t want to hurt any old friend's feeling by anything I may say, you all know that. As a boy again I'd be as I was then a careless, free, ragged, freckled, red necked, shock haired boy, of coure, I'd have to be if I lived my life over. I'd go to school three months in the year, and plow corn and pull weeds and hoe cabbage in the summer the same as I had been doing ever since I was big enough. And when the circus came to Martinsville ten miles from our house, I'd walk to the show with only a quarter to get into the tent with and I'd do without dinner and red lemonade and candy, because I hadn't s. cent to buy them with and no one "gave me to eat." At night I'd w.ilk to . Uncle "Jims" to stay with the boys .all night and next day I'd walk home and for weeks I'd think and dream of the "star spangled" -beauty, who rode in the ring and kissed her hand so gracefully to-to-the audience who cheered her when she jumped through the hoops covered with paper. And the jokes the clown got off, did you ever hear anything funnier? Don't you remember vou old fellows, for some of vou were at. the circus too, how you sat on the fence afterwards instead of hoeing potatoes and reviewed the who'e show, from the the time you came In sight of the big white tent until, the end of the performance? And horiivvly don't you feel a thrill yet when you think of the beautiful girl who rode the big sleek white horse in the ring? Don't yen half believe your admiration for her is what caused you to be more

observant of the girls you had gone to school with but had scarcely thought of before? Don't you remember the next winter at school how you were more careful about vour clothes ai d kept your face and hands cleaner and hair combed better than the year before, and how you felt a warm glow about your heart one day when Mary Jane, a brown eyed, rosy cheeked girl asked vou to "do a sum" for her? From that moment the world took on a different look, and meaning. Mary Jane became the most charming name on earth, and as the days went by the honest, sincere, blissful feeling grew and intensified, until sleep brought only dreams of bliss. Don't vou remei.obcr one dav what a thrill went through you when you but touched her hand? If there is anything purer than a boy's first sincere admiration for his Mary Jane or Sarah Ann I don't know what it is. The first time you asked her if you could see her home from spelling school do you mind that now? And she give a half frightened yes, and you, I did too, walked out of the door of the old log school house by her side and ran the gauntlet of the boys ranged on each side the door. Why couldn't we have died then and been happy forever more? Bliss, well, I should ay, I'd be willing to live my boyhood over again for the sake of this one occasion if nothing else, and so would you. And the next summer the church and Sunday school she attended what "an attractive place to you. When the fall came and apple cuttings were abroad in the land, and you had some better clothes to wear than you used to have and your courage was gaining ground too do you mind one Sunday evening, when vou walked home with her and ventured to go in and sit down in the sitting rcom, and you heard her father come into the kitchen and ask Mary Jane's mother who was in the sitting room with "Moll?" You, that is, I wasn't very pretty then, with my sun burnt .hands and face, and big feet, but Mary Jane was, and I don't suppose I'll ever see her like again if I live to be as oM as Methuselah which I have no hopes of doing at all. You stayed for supper, taat is I did, and the blissful misery of that meal will stay with me until-I forget it. How I burnt my mouth with the hot coffee, and dropped my knife, and choked on a bread crumb and coughed and sputtered until I was purple in the face, and said "yes mam" to Mary Jane's father and "yes sir" to Mary Jane's mother and quit when half done and tramped on the cat as I got up from the table, all this was part of the programme and I'd go through it again if I could. I don't believe one of you old men married your first Mary Jane, or Sarah Ann. My recollection is she got huffy about something you did and gave you the mitten, and married the ugliest specimen she could find, just to spite yon, and lived happy ever after as the novels all say, but you nor I will never forget her, as she was then. She is big and fat and gray headed now, and so are we, and ugly too perhaps, if not very fat. But if we could live it all over again, it would simply le a repetition of the days and incidents gone by, and we'd only remember the best of them afterward as we do now.
