C. Iliff and J. D. Gillilan made a flying visit to Butte, Montana last week.

C. Rankin of Pittsburg, Pa., has been held recently. Audiences of nearly 1,000 persons have greeted the speaker night after night. The prohibition convention, called in the interest of the better enforcement of the law, was also well attended by representative's from all parts of the state. It was a successful gathering and the State Enforcement League has been organized and arrangements made for thorough enforcement of the law. North Dakota stands in the forefront of the movement against the saloons. The law is well maintained in most parts of the state and the present movement will result in still greater improvement. <br> A full professorship of modern languages has been established at Colorado College and the chair will be occupied in September, 1895, by a man whose character and training fit him in an unusual manner for the position. Mr. Louis A. E. Ahlers is a graduate of Andover and of Harvard, a native of Northern Germany, and an earnest Christian man, thoroughly in sympathy with the ideal of Christian education which underlies the work done at Colorado College. He has spent some time abroad and has but recently returned from Berlin and Paris. A brilliant scholar and an admirable instructor, the friends of Colorado College are to be congratulated upon the accession to the faculty. <br> PHILADELPHIA.--Central is now engaged with seven other churches in union evangelistic meetings, led by Rev. A. C. Dixon, D. D., with Mr. F. H. Jacobs, singer. Great congregations are in attendance. An Ushers' Association of over thirty young men has recently been formed in this church.- The church in Germantown is making constant progress. Though only seven years old it is one of the most important churches in that part of the city. It has recently organized a Men's League of forty members, which arranges the Sunday evening services. The printed programs, the large chorus and the welcome committees add much to the interest and have greatly increased the attendance. <br><br> More than You Expect. <br> We have a rather unusual request to make. We don't ask you to pay us one visit. We ask you to pay us two. Come at first for the purpose of seeing our men's, boys' and children's clothing. If you don't buy it won't be because you don't like them; if you do, come again and tell us how you do like them. <br> We feel confident your first impression will be that you made an exceedingly level-headed purchase, and your second- well, to cut it short, your first will be confirmed rather than removed. <br> ONE PRICE. <br> J. P. GARDNER, <br> 136-138 Main Street. <br><br> |
