In his address on “Life in the Trenches” at the South church yes- terday afternoon, Rev. Dr. G. W. C. Hill drew a parallel to show that in many respects the awful struggle in the death pits in the great Eurgopean war arena is similar to the fight it is necessary for the spirit to make to overcome the weaknesses of the flesh in every day life. College men and tHousands of oth- | ers who in times of peace led lives of ease and culture have gone into the trenches to battle for their kings, emperors and rulers. The terrible nature of modern warfare force them to adopt this manner of fight- ing and they find it exceedingly difli- cult to expel the enemy from the dugouts and pits although they are daily beset by all manner of dangers both from diseases and bullets. In like manner it is found difficult to expel evil habits which through indulgence have become deeply in- trenched. The battle of spirit against flesh is therefore like the struggle in the European trenches. The service was largely attended. Selections were rendered by the choir | and chorus. . STORES BADLY FLOODED.

City Electricilan Cooley and Officer Hell- berg after some difficulty located the trouble and shut off the water in the entire bullding. CONCERT PLEASES CROWD.
