Both gave interesting to express the thanks of the citi- the Easter progr THINGS LITERARY Almost when man first began to think, long before he learned the art of writing, his mind was engaged in literary work. However lenghty his production might have been, it was retained in the memory. When the historic Beowulf was composed, it was not set to music, on paper or scroll, but the words, metre and measure were made a task to the memory of those who essayed the role of a musical bard or sought to soothe the cares with minstrel strains. "Tradition reports that Homer, the father of epic, poetry was a blind wanderer who chanted his strains of music to strangers' ears for a life's pittance. It was almost a matter of impossibility to place within reach of the common masses the production of thought and investigations. For all books or tracts must have been copied. A copyright law would have been superfluous; for writing with a stile upon papyrus was to onerous to make any author apprehensive of theft of his work. Indeed, all great things have had small beginnings. Every verse has begun with a word; and every stanza with a verse; every canto with a stanza; and every complete song with a cant. Wonderful has been the growth of literature. Great have been its accomplishments. There is hardly a comparison to be made. Before literature into and the brute creation were almost on equality; since the development of letters, man approaches nearer and nearer unto the divinity. Before, man was a savage; since, he communes in person with the gods. Then, hegroped; now, he tours. Then, he fought; now, he trinks. Then, his abode was a cave; now, his habitation is a palace. Then, he was nearer the demon; now, nearer an angel. Then, God winked at his ignorance; now, he smiles at his intelligence. Literature has been and ever shall be the vehicle by which pilgrims shall come to the mecca of learning. As Christ told the scribes and pharisees: "search the scriptures for they are they that testify of me," even so must the seeker for wisdom delve into the archives, ancient and modern, for the hidden stores of knowledge, if he would be considered wise. Literature is the great messenger of the past, who brings full reports of the progress of the world, giving at the same time a detail account of the thoroughfares alohg which universal ignorance was assaulted. Or, if, it can so be likened, it has been the sun of intelligence which diffused hislight to the benighted concourse of people. For what else save the "Republic" and "Utopia" are Plato SEDALIA, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, JANUARY 22 1904. and Sir Thomas Moore remembered? Would Demosthenes and Cicero be pointed out for youths aspiring to oratorical honors, were it not for their literary productions? Gibbon may have been acknowledged a learned man by his contempories and social companions but his "Rise and decline of the Roman Empire" makes or made him a world character. Bacon would be a synonym for corruption in the mouths of all just judges were he not connected with that great philosophical work, 'Novum Organum.' Poe would have been known as a moral wreck, had not his genius produced such as "The Bells." Burns would not have been much save a globe turner, or a vain purruer of phantom fortune, if the modest daisy had not quickened the beauty of his dormant mind, and the field mouse in its hurry to find refuge had not hastened unawares into the grotto of musical muse. How many weary fours have been beguiled away by listening to the inaudible yet intelligent whispers of literature! Literature may be termed a panecea for many of the ailments of the mind. For if you should wish to know something of the glories of heaven read John's vision. If you wish a scene of nature when the world was young cull passages from "Paradise Lost." If your imagination be dull in respects to the horrors of perdition go with Dante through his "Inferno." If you would know something of the hardihood of ancient soldiers, follow Cyrus's ten-thousands into and their retreat from Persia, as Zenaphon has recorded it. If you would know some of the conditions of our civilization not many centuries gone by, Scott's "Ivanhoe" will tell you. If you are in want of suitable words for prayer or thanksgiving, you cannot do better than read the Psalms of David; or if you know not how to weep and your sorrow will not find expression, commune with Jeremiah as he mourns and laments. Or if your mind is concerned with worldly things, seek the ocean of human thought, where every thrist can be slaked and every vessel can be filled, seek the source whence, now, every cloud that sprinkles the barren waste, that succors the famishing earth, that beads the pearls on the hanging bough, that furnishing the flakes for the faries wintry dance, seek him who it is—Shakespeare. All the branches of science and art are dependent upon literature as the boat to ferry them over the river Styx. These all, would wander upon the river's bank a thousand or less years and finally sink into oblivion or be woefully lost from the haunts of memory and the abodes of usefulness. Show me a nation without a substantial literature, new or old, and I will show you a nation of savages. Show me a people without books, and I will show you mammals not far removed from brutes. Tis the culture and refinement gotten from books and rightly applied that makes the most difference between the gentleman and the howling dervishes that grope in midnight ignorance Literature marks the course. persued by the world in outward march from illiteracy and superstition into a land of fairer promise. The epochs in literature are the stations where the army halted for rest and recreation, the mile-posts along the way, and their works are their steps; their writings therein are their songs of triumph or their mournful tunes of untimely reverse, or the exulting shout of a hard fought battle just won; or if perchance, the muse of prophecy had lent one her tongue, the voices of the future ages communing with the present. A person may have a logical or an analytical mind highly cultivated, that is not learning. One may be an expert accountant, that is not learning. One may be a philosopher of the present, that is not learning. One may be a moralist, that is not learning. The knowledge of the works and productions of others is learning. To be conversant with the minds of the past and present men and women is learning. Therefore, literature is learning. Literature is the photographs of the past, thus giving us views of ancestral customs. Literature is all that is good that has been saved from the wreck of time. I do not mean to say that all books are good - far from it. As a third of the angels in heaven were wicked, as Judas was a traitor, and as man, when the whole earth was peopled by two human beings only, was evil, so one would expect evil to creep into literature if it crept into these holy places. It is indeed a pleasure to follow Longfellow's Hiwatha as tenderly by the hand he 'leads Laughing-water. One feels himself growing saint-like as he listens to Macauley's description of the Quakers. Tender shoots spring from the dead stump of affections as one reads Tennyson's "In Memoriam." The galantry dormant in the soul of a libertine is aroused when he follows the foot-falls of the "Lady of the Lake." The oceam is a thing of reverence when Bryon describes it. How, can you escape believing that water possess a spirit when you see it thru the eyes of Ruskin? If you are in poverty's clutches and think that none great sympathize with you, consult Victor Hugo's "Les Miserabilas." If you wish to conquer your enemy by making little of him "The Hudibras" will aid you. Butler will prove from nature that there is a trinity of divinity. Longfellow will tell you of suffering, devotion and love in his "Evangiline." Job will bring the stars from their sockets to prove his entegrity and God's righteousness. Milton's morning song in Paradise is sublime praise of all creation to its creator. Good books are man's best gift to man. You are convinced, and forcibly so, that society has some barriers that are detrimental rather than beneficial when you read Whittier's "Maud Muller." Lew Wallace's "Ben Hur" adds another sentiment to Bethlehem's Infant's life. If you are morose Dickens can stir the fountain of laughter, Mark Twain will humor your peevish nature. Literature is the production of minds, therefore the finer essence of life. For it is thought boiled down, purified from the irrelevant and sweetened to the taste of ages. One can thru books conjure up before himself to a momentary existence many of the great and good men of ages past; for his individual satisfaction they will seem to act again the most renowned of their achievements; orators will declaim for him; the historians will recite; the poetsing, the philosophers speak. Edwin Burke will thunder his anathemas against Warren Hasting, even now, if one will take the interest to listen. Webster's Bunker Hill oration still resounds thru the air. It strikes the strings upon the harp of American patriotism and the soul of liberty is thrilled with the music thereof. One has said "Literature is the daughter of heaven, who has descended upon earth to soften and charm all human ill-sure tho of divine origin, for it is the inner spirit of humanity and spirit to the gift of God." It has thru all time been recognized as an important factor in the sum of knowledge. The druids thought their worship choice too sacred to be committed to the keeping of letters. As it proceeded from the mind even so must the mind retain it. Carlylesle says "Literature is the thought of thinking souls." It exerts an unknown influence over us. If one reads he cannot remain ignorant; for, as surely as light will dispel darkness, reading will dispell ignorance; as drowsiness insensibly steals upon us, so will the influence of books glide unawares into our open and susceptible consciences. Let one read treatises upon religion, and even if he read to criticise, he will grow perceptibly better. "He that came to scoff will remain to pray." He that despises belle lettres, despises refinement, despises culture, contemns knowledge and hates wisdom. So various are the subjects treated, you can find an antidote for every poison of the mind. Then drink the liquid honey from the beehive of literature and be sweet. Steep your minds in the tepid waters of books and mollify your dispositions. Read and learn. Tattler.

The curator was going over the new acguisition yesterday, when he discovered a secret pouch in one of the saddles, and inside ft were bank- notes to the value of 86,000 franes, in an excellent state of preservation. ‘The money has been placed at the dis- position of the heirs of the pork buteh- ‘er, who bad only lately reached com- fortable elreumstances, and evidently ‘had never had an idea of the large sum of money hidien away In the old saddle he bad used for so many years. —Westininster Gazette The number 2 is the basis of the numerical system of certain native tribes of Mexico and Central Ameriva.

When the death angel came, she was ready, waiting and looking. How sad to know she has gone from us, and so young, to be plucked from this and transplanted to bloom in the garden above. But think how pleasant to know that she was ready, and in her illness, she bore her suffering with patience. She left a good testimony "my prayers are answered. I am not afraid to die." She has been in poor health for several months, and death was not unexpected. Hardly out of her teens, we hate to give her up, still, the tree of deepest root is found less willing then to quit the ground. We deem it fate that we might be brave. Can we too be ready when "Heaven comes down our soul to greet, And glory crowns the mercy seat?" She leaves a father, brother and a host of relatives and friends. To them we say look up, this weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Emma. UNION HILL. Harry White had busines in Hardeman, Friday. Your scribe was in Arrow Rock Monday.

John Alexander Dowly, "Elijah the Restorer," and his six deacons will leave here to-morrow for San Francisco on their way to Australia. Dowie attended the opening of a hotel at a neighboring resort this morning and entered a protest against the lavish silver service and the stuffed pig on the menu. This afternoon he addressed about 3,000 persons in a local auditorium. He said he wanted to make himself clear on the race question. He said the Anglo-Saxon race was superior to the Negro race, but that there was a time when the black brother was superior to the white, and the white man should be just to the the Negro and endeavor to lift him up. Whatever the difference in race might be on earth the white man and the black man were brothers before God. Dowie found fault with the Southern people in that they were too sleepy and slow, and not up to date. He ridiculed the slow time made by the railroad whose guest he has been during the last few days. His only reference to the prospective establishment of a Zion City and plantation on the Texas coast was contained in the statement that he might, at some near bate, become a neighbor of the people of San Antonio. —Ex. Series of Sermons to Be Delivered at Warsaw, Mo. Beginning Jan. 20. 1904. by Rev.E, A, Liggins. The sermons are as follows: Text, Gen. 1-1. In the beginning God created the heaven and earth. Subj. There is a God. 2d. Gen. 1-26: And God said let us make man. Subj. God made man. 3rd., Gen. 1-26: And let them have dominion over the fishes of the sea; the fowls of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Subj. Man's Power. 4th. Mark, 11-22: And Jesus answering, said unto them: have faith in God. Subj. With God all things are possible. 5th. 33rd. Psalms-18: Behold the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy. Subject. His adversary can do us no harm, if we trust God. Dear brethren, sisters and friends, these sermons will avail us nothing unless we study them. You know our object for having these meetings and unless we do our duty, we cannot expect a blessing from God. Let us loose sight of self for a few days and put our hands into God's, and he will lead us and give to us our desires. Yours for the cause, Rev. E. A. Liggins Where to Worship.
