Lecture On Holy Land
Dr. Euster preached an able
Sermon in the Methodist church
Sunday morning and in the even-
ing gave a lecture on the Holy
Land.
A few years ago he in com-
pany with 20 other church men
of all denominations made a
trip through Palestine nnd stud-
ied the relics of ancient years
mentioned in the Bible.
He empaysized the fact that
no matter how strong an infidel
a man may be he had all the in-
fidelity knocked out of him in go-
ins through the Holy Land anu
viewing the scenes mentioned
in the liiblu.
Ho gave numerous instances
of conditions and circumstances
which would wholly destroy the
nrgumcn.s of infideb concerning
things given in the Bible which
thev nrgue are impossible.
He said an infidel once asked
him why it did not say two
hands oh the plow when he
found that the plows there have
only one handle.
That infidels had argued that
it was impossible for a person to
speak to 3.000000 people at one
time aB the Bible statesi He
said one of their party stood on
this elevation and read a chap-
ter frorri the New Testament
and that others of the party
stationed one half mile away in
nil directions heard him very
distinctly. That 9000000 men
'could stand in that space which
they enclosed.
. o
Pie And Oysters.
The ladies of the Methodist
chnrch have announced a pic and
oyster Buppcr to be given in the
hall on Thanksgiving evening.
AH ladies arc urged to bring
pies. Some kind of literary pro-
gram will likely be given and a
good social time is expected.
