In the evening the pastor will preach from the theme "Perma nence of Heavenly Treasures." The theme last Sunday evening, "What they do in Heaven," showed that heaven is n place for n prepared icoplc. Should some ever reach heaven they would be out of place, not nt home. Accord ing to the scripture the chnrnctcr of eternity is established iu tills world. 1 he righteous nre to he "righteous still," nud the filtliv to be "filthy still." Just ns men are debarred from certain communities 11 tills world ns far ns n livelihood is concerned, so will there be those who are unprepared for heaven.

See EM Stockton, Arson and Robbery About two o'clock Wednesday morning the strenuous ringing of tlte fire bell rudely nwakcued the populace from its slumbers, nud the continuous notes gave due warning Mint the fire was in the business district. The fire was found to be at the rear of the Holbrook block ou Philadelphia street, nnd hnd gained considerable impetus before being discovered by the night po lice. Flames were shooting high into the heavens when the fire de partment and apparatus arrived hurriedly upon the scene. It seem ed apparent that before the flames could be stayed vast damage would be wrought, if not the entire wood en portion of the block be destroy ed. Never did the gallant fire lads do more admirable or heroic work. Iu n jiffy four or five lines of hose were playing upon the conflagra tion, and in n few moment's time the flames were brought under con trol and quickly extinguished. Kv cry citizen who witnessed the fire nud its extinguishment could not help hut feel particularly proud of the St. Johns Volunteer Fire De partment. No paid company could have done better or more effective work. The fire was apparently created by a cowardly incendiary, who, perhaps, had n fancied grievance against some of the occupants of the ulock nud took this dastardly man tier of venting his spleen. The North Dank Pharmacy was entered during the progress of the fire aud n l)ou t 500 cigars, razors aud strops, hair dye and toilet articles taken. Entrance was effected through the rear door, the glass of which was broken through. Whether the fire was kindled for the purpose of more easily effecting the robbery while the attention of the night police wns held nt the fire is unknown, hut such may have been the case. The damage, which amounted to possibly $2oo, was confined priuci pally to the St. Johns I.and Co.'s oiuce ami the olhce of the bt. Johns nter company.
