B., CLASS OF '06, GEORGE R. SMITH COLLEGE, SEDALIA, MO. To the contemplative mind nature's great book lies easily open. As one walks out under the open sky and listens to the silent music of spheres, or sits in the solitude of the desert and sniffs the wasting fragrance of blooming flowers, or stands upon some snow crowned craig and views landscapes, woods and cultivated fields, a multitude of questions come rushing to his mind. What are all these? And whence came they? Who is their maker and what is his relation to them? What am I and my relation to these things and to my maker? These questions have occupied the greatest minds of the ages and in their attempts to answer them have originated the various systems of philosophy. We shall not attempt to review the conclusions of the philosophers concerning these vital questions nor shall we undertake to answer them all, but let us confine ourselves to the question, what is nature? And what am I and my relation to it and to God? Or the relation and characteristics of nature and personality. Have you de If so take them to Dr. T. J. have you defective teeth take them to Dr. T. J.

How or whence it came we need not discuss here. Whether it was made from nothing or is an emination from God, or is uncreated, ever-existing, or was envolved from a pre-existing fiery-mist or nebulous cloud, the material universe exists. When man woke up in the cradle of the infant world he beheld shining spheres, revolving planets, succeeding days and nights. As he surveyed that paradise of his primeval home he found flowing rivers, blooming flowers, growing trees with their luxurious fruits. All these were here. If it were asked how they came the answer might be given these are the products of nature. As man beholds the visible creation, be it the sluggish clod, or yon distant star; the invisible air or a sensible cloud, as man beholds the work of God's fingers, he is forced to the conclusion, "I am not this, nor that, nor all I see, I am simply I myself."

He is the only one that can hold himself in such complete severance, so distinctly and steadily in the lime-light of self -consciousness that he can think his way clear around himself. Tennyson has beautifully expressed the truth in a passage of "In memorian" "The baby new to earth and sky, What time his tender hand is pressed? Against the circle of the breast. against the efforts of Has never thought that "This is I." But as he grows he gathers much And learns the use of "I and me;} Asd finds "I am not what I see And other than the things I touch;" And thru the frame that bind him in His isolation grows defind." But when he realizes that he is other than the things he touches, at the same time and by the act he discovers that he is something different, something more. There is something peculiar in himself. And as Dr. Curtis has well said, "We just now hear the breaking surf of the mighty deep of moral concern" unable to perceive any peculiarity in himself man could never compare himself with an ideal. In the further contemplation of nature as man notes her multi-iform operations, he discovers a marked difference between nature and personality. Nature is under law, personality is free. Whatever is accomplished in nature is by necessity. The sun moves, worlds revolve, stars and comets sweep through boundless space all in perfect harmony by the laws of gravitation. Mountains are uneheaved and scars are turned into dry land by the forces of levity over coming gravitation. Elements unite in definite fixed proportions making the various chemical compounds, by the law of atomic affinity. Nor can it be other wise that it is. When the expansive forces beneath the earth over come gravitation there is but one thing for it, the surface must rise. Under the same conditions given elements always nnite in the same proportions. Not only is inorganic nature under law, but organic nature as well. Plants grow according to the law of their vital forces.

Whether the horse drinks or not depends on whether or not he be thirsty. Of two articles of food set before him which he will eat depends upon the one that appeals more strongly to his appetite. With the lower animal's there is no choice, there is no will; all is law. But when we rise to the sphere of human life there is a world-wide difference. In nature there are antecedents and consequences, but man in his personality is a cause. Man exerces force. Man puts forth energy. I knows himself as doing this. Events occur in nature by necessity. Man determines the cause and course of events. Dynamite will raise anything it happens to be under when it explodes; man chooses the thing to be raised. He even combines the elements which make the explosive, determines the work to be done, the time of its occurrence and calculates the consequences. He puts the dynamite under the stone he desires to remove and by an act of his own will causes it to explode, makes the excavation, builds his house, constructs his railroad.

The opening of the new Conference year has before it seemingly a very bright future for a successful year's work. I started on my first round April 4th and up to this writing I have held ten Quarterly meetings and at each one of these good results were accomplished both spiritually and temperally. I found each pastor at his post of duty waiting to join me in their Quarterly Conferences and Quarterly meetings. These brethern in the stations and circuits have started in raising their benevolent money. And some of them have a good amount already in hand. At Dresden Circuit, Bro. J. W. Hardin, who supplying this work has made a good impression upon his people and the out-look here for a good year's work is very encouraging. At Sweet Springs, Bro. R. Rush has started in very nicely. The first Quarterly meeting for this circuit was held April 7th and 8th. The pastor's salary was increased very largely over last year. And the people here are pleased with their new pastor. The trustees contemplates on remodeling the parsonage at once. This is a good move in the right direction. Bro. Rush is an acceptable pastor and the people hear him gladly. Blackburn Circuit, Bro. Samuel Hawkins, a local preacher supplying this work. The membership here is greatly encouraged and the work seems to be going along harmoniously under the directions of the new pastor. Odess Circuit, Bro. Denny is the pastor. He is now serving his fifth year on the work. After being successful in erecting a new church building at a cost of $1200. He is still on the alert and busy collecting funds for the purpose of canceling the debt. The first Quarterly meeting was held April 14th and 15th, which resulted in one conversion and one accession to the church. The financial obligations were met in full. Lexington Station, Bro. Lee Roy Woolrich is taking hold of work in a manner which will bring success to the church.

The first Quarterly meeting was held April 21st and 22nd, with splendid results in two joining the church. The collection was $24.60. The singing choir here is doing good work and is among the best in the district of the musical department of the church work. REV. W. H. SMITH, P. E. Wellington Circuit, Bro. A. Enyaid a local preacher is supplying this work. He is now serving his fourth year and excellent work is being done. Since the Annual Conference a new roof has been put on the parsonage. And the ladies Aid Society in connection with the trustees are planning to paint and paper the church. The Quarterly meeting that was held April 24 and 25 was a success. Marshall station, Brother G W Reeves is the new pastor. He has begun the work in a very creditable manner and in his extensive experience in the work of the church and under his judicious management we have no reason to doubt that he will have a most successful year's work. The Quarterly meeting was held there on the 28 and 29 of April and it was indeed a spiritual uplift to the people. One hundred and four persons came to the Communion table. $28.50 was raised as the collection. The pastor's salary was estimated at $500, an increase of $50 over last year. Knob Noster-Centerview circuit, Brother M L Jackson is the pastor. He is now serving his 2nd year on this work. Last year under his wise leadership and care ful management a new parsonage was erected. The centre church is in a clean and neat condition. Our First Quarterly meeting was held here on the 5 and 6, with the most excellent results. NO. 49. Sedalia Weekly Conservator. W. H. Huston. . . . . Editor.

There is sufficiency of good men in each party to place before the citizens a set of tickets filled from top to bottom with good men. As we see it a man should be a partisan so long as his party places before him a class of men that are at least as good as his opponents have not better. But whenever any party sets aside its good men to push forward political demagogues or professional office seekers, then should the voters, republican or democrat, use his knife freely. Let us be clearly understood. In using the knife in no case should the good men be sacrificed with the bad. That old slogan "vote 'er straight, if a 'yaller dog" is on 'er," is too foolish to be given a passing consideration at this date of political individuality. Political organizations to have best citizens' support must be entrusted in the hands of good men. We have come to that point in our political life where we use sense and reason instead of so much sentiment. Party platforms and party organizations are always in order. They are essential to the maintenance of our national life. But back of them must be men—men of character, intelligence, industry, patriotism and courage. Another feature must be taken under consideration, when we are to select partizan candidates namely: A man may be a good partizan and he may have given his party excellent service but, will he give the community good service, if he is entrusted with the office he seeks? When we serve party, we serve only a part of the people. In office we must serve all the people. A narrow minded individual may be a partizan but it requires a broadminded person to fill with acceptability the office of the people. Let us nominate good men.

The Knights Pythias and Court of Calanthe of Paris, Mo., conducted their forty-third Annual Day of Thanksgiving Exercises, Sunday April 29th '06, at the A. M. E church. Headed by the Macon Concert Band, the members of Philosophian Lodge No., 33 and many visiting Knights marched through the street of Paris, from their Castle Hall to the church where a grand Pythian program was intelligently rendered. Many Knights from Macon, Moberly, Hannibal and other neighboring town were present and took part in the exercises. Dur the grand march the streets were filled with people eager to witness the affair. Upon their arrival at the church the choir sang the opening song and without any preliminaries, the Keeper of Record and Seal, as master of ceremonies, announced the following program: Invocation Rev.

J. Nott was full of rare thought and inspiration. In his lecture, he taught much of the secret of success of the K. of P.'s throughout this country, and that the success in this life was continuous struggle. Prof. T. B. Burris, of Macon, Mo., who delivered an address on Pythianism, was very impressive. In his address, he taught many golden lessons of Friendship and reviewed the "great link" which bound Damon to Pythias. Mrs. Matilda Nott, W.C. addressed the audience on Calantheanism. Her paper showed intelligent thought, and the work of a thinker. She fully discussed the success of the Court and the great good the order was doing for the race throughout this country. The great Pythian Quartett entitled "The Pythian Age" was composed by Knight W. E. Robinson of Paris, Mo. This Quartett song has been considered the best song that has been compsed for the order of K. of P's. a d O. O. C.

In every sense of the word, he is a gentleman. Circuit Clerk C. W. Daughtertv has prepared himself to outrun anything the democrats may put in the field. It is smooth sailing for Charlie, when he is oncearoused, to do anything he may under take. Being courteous and honorable, he will win a host of friends who will give him freely their ballot. David Roberts, who has announced his candidacy for the nomination for County Clerk on the republican ticket. Having been reared near Houstonia and Hughesville, he has a large acquaintance among the residents of that section. Aside from this he will be ably seconded by the commercial travellers of this city, if he secures the nomination. Ex-City Attorney A. L. Shortridge feels confident that he should be selected by the republicans to make the race for prosecuting attorney, on the republican ticket. Young Shortridge is a hustler from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet. He is well liked by all. The Conservator feels doubly interested in the gentlemen mentioned above, because they have manifested an abiding interest in us. Rev. F. D.

Where you cannot climb over you must creep under. It is no use hiding from a friend what is known to an enemy. Spending your money with many a guest empties the kitchen the cellar and chest. A wealthy man who obtains his wealth honestly and uses it rightly is a blessing to the community. It is a mistake to eat all you can, spend all you have. tell all you know, or show all you feel. Show me a man who has never made a mistake, and we will show you one who has never tried anything. A little girl didn't like the pug dog which her father brought home for her, because "its nose was burned off." Counsel—Then you think he struck you with malice aforethought? Witness (indignant)—You cannot mix me up like that. I've told you twice he hit me with a brick. There wasn't no mallets nor nothing of the kind about. WAITED A LONG TIME. Before She Had Her Calico Dress Made Up. "Aunt" Mary Luce, an old colored woman who belonged to the Luce family here during slavery received as a present during the civil war a calico dress pattern. At that time Lewis Uncle Lewis, her husband, was in the union army fighting for his freedom. "Aunt" Mary laid the calico away not desiring to have the dress made at that time, and ever since then it has been untouched at the bottom of her trunk. This week she took the goods and had a dress made, and, strange as it may seem, the calico is as good as it was the day it was presented to her almost a half a cenago. To the best of old „Aunt" Mary's recollectian the goods cost 50 cents a yard, making the dress pattern cost about $6. The same could be bought now for less than a dollar. It is very peculiar in color and figure at this day and is worth the while of any one to see it. Uncle Lewis and Aunt Mary live on Sixthand Maryland streets and are highly regarded by white as by members of their own race. —Ex. Exceptionally Low Rates to Brighter Possibilities The Southwest is the land of land possibilities. The opportunities for men of average means are brighter here than elsewhere you car get more for your labor or your investment. The opportunity time is now while the land is cheap. The country is settling up. If you purchase land now you will soon see grow up around you a community of prosperous energetic men who like yourself, have seen the brighter possibilities of the Southwest, and have taken advantage of them. Along the line of the Missouri, kansas and Texas R'y in Indian Territory, Oklahoma and Texas are vast areas of unimproved land—land not now yielding the crops of which it is capable. The same thing in a different way, is true of towns. Few lines of business are adequately represented. There openings of all sorts for you. If you're in interested in any way in the Southwest.
