The Grand Opening of the Masonic Temple at Jefferson City, Mo. On May 11, 1905, Capital City Lodge No. 9, A. F. and A. M., entered its new quarters in its magnificent new building under very auspicious circumstances attended by brilliant ceremonies. This event marks a new era in the history of Capital City Lodge. The site once occupied by an old and dilapidated building is now graced by a beautiful three-story brick structure, modern in all of its appointments. Aside from the three stories above the building has a commodious well-lighted and well-ventilated basement eight feet in the clear, making virtually four stories. The building is 64 by 24 feet well finished and furnished with both gas and electricity, with water works and toilet conveniences. The new structure with its fittings cost something over $5,000, which, together with the lot, from the state of things in Jefferson City, makes the property easily worth $7,000. For a number of years Capital City Lodge had desired to replace the old with a new building, but the undertaking seemed too hazardous. Unstinted praise and great credit are due the present worshipful master, Dr. J. H. Garnett for his undaunted courage and zeal in urging and pushing this most commendable yet doubtful undertaking and for his wide-awake and business-like tact in steering the undertaking to success. The building committee consisting of Messrs. G. W. Dupee, chairman; J. S. Moten, secretary; J. W. Damel, treasurer; C. B. Lane, John Carter and J. H. Garnett, worked hard and deserve commendation for the faithful discharge of its duty. This building is not only a credit to the Masonic Fraternity and the race but to Jefferson City. At the opening the following programme was rendered: Music by the mandolin club. Introductory remarks by J. H. Garnett, W. M., who reviewed the history of the efforts leading up to the undertaking. "A Retrospect of the Committee's Work," by J. S. Moten. "Our Business Interests," by J. W. Damel. "General Remarks," by G. W. Dupee. "Race Enterprises," by President B. F. Allen. "The Progress of Masonry," by Grand Lecturer E. J. Cooper. "Free Masonry Its Influence," by Grand Master C. G. Williams, whose address was eloquent. Meals were served night and day by a committee from the ladies court, who LYONS OPEN ALL NIGHT. LYONS' CAFE OPEN ALL NIGHT. 319 JEFFERSON AVE. GEO. J. LYONS, Proprietor.

At the close of the programme the congregation partook freely of the refreshments the committees on arrangement and refreshments had previously prepared for their enjoyment.

Don't forget the number, 319 North Jefferson avenue, ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1905. THE ORPHANS' HOME. 4216 Natural Bridge Road. The celebration of the fifth anniversary of the Orphans' home Sunday, May 21, was quite a success, and the citizens readily responded to the call of charity. The Masons were out in full bloom to pay tribute to the anniversary of the dedication to the home. To enliven the immense crowd which longed the grounds, the Great Western band paedal forth strains of melodious music. The people enjoyed strolling through the grounds and looking at the different departments of the home, until a late hour, when the glowing sun began to sink and remind them that it was nearing the time for all to retrace their steps homeward, having spent a pleasant day with the orphans. We noticed that Dr. J. W. McDowell and others were present. Mrs. Mamie O. Trice (nee Smith) was the most sociable, in our eyes, of all. Mr. and Mrs. C. K. Robinson, of 3408 Lasalle street, were the center of attraction. The choir of St. James' church, composed of the flowers of Edwardsville, rendered sweet music. Miss Ray, of 3520 Lucas avenue, was all smiles, and the young men looked on with admiration. Mrs. Bettie Armstrong was, as usual, looking like the Goddess of Liberty—4447 Washington avenue. Mrs. Dupree, better known as Caesar, is just the picture of health. She lives at 1547 South Second street. Mrs. Lewis, of 4026 Lucky street, seems to be one of nature's ladies. Her sister, V. Hyatt, was with her. Miss Estell Hamilton, one of the most amiable young ladies on Fairfax avenue, is all O. K. She lives at 4137. Mrs. Hampton, of 1422 Michigan avenue, has Miss Jessie Hondis visiting her. She will remain several weeks. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Gant, of 2829 Adams street, were together, looking as if they were the only two mortals on earth. Dr. Cook's daughter, Alby Simms, Nannie Whitman and other young ladies were out, and carried themselves as becomes ladies. The lady at 116 South Leonard avenue was all smiles. Of course she is one of the best persons in the world, outside of the other. We saw the dashing Miss Foster, of Boonville, Mo. She is cashier at the Lyon, 319 North Jefferson avenue. She wilts the hearts of the young men. Mr. Graham was on hand. John Mather, 106 South Fourteenth street; H. Hopson, John G. Pettiford, of Central Baptist church, were all looking wise. The young daughter of P. H. Harris, of 5719 Prescott avenue, is a perfect rose. Mr. Rodgers, of 2609 Lawton avenue, was throwing sheep's eyes in every direction. We also noticed the three loving daughters of Mrs. J. T. Richardson, of 324 Montrose avenue. They were ladylike in every particular; also Miss Pearl Carter was with them. Rev. R. H. Cole and his amiable wife were doing all they could to make the occasion a success. Mrs. Cole's black hair, mixed with gray, sets her off as one of Europe's queens. We noticed Mr. Knight, the jeweler, 211 Jefferson avenue, but we failed to see the loving and amiable young lady who is his office lady. Oh, well, there is more than one pebble on the beach. Mrs. Laura Wheeler, of 2901 Manchester avenue, was a dream. Mrs. Alexander the dashing daughter of Rev. West and Mrs. Pleasant, of 4164 Lexington avenue, seemed to be dead in it. Mr. Charles Pitman, one of the most famous young Negroes in St. Louis, was treating the young ladies, and they in turn smiled on Pretty Charles. Oh! you should have seen him and the girls. Rich. Williams, the boy whose brother died a few days ago, was in company with a very sweet-looking young lady, but when he saw the reporter of The Palladium he looked like a sheep-killing dog. The secretary of The Palladium was there, looking as fine and sweet as a peach. Oh, just wait, and soon, with her pen, she will turn The Palladium office into a candy store. When, Where? Oh, you know. The girls will get something sweet. THE LADY OF THE CITY MADAME KATIE L. BOSWELL The Vice-Princess of Sinia Temple No. of her race. Residence 4222A Maffitt ALLEN A. M. E. MISSION 1111 Wash Street. Sermon 11 p. m., by James R. Walker. The prayer was offered by the pastor, Rev. O. W. Harris. Brother James Walker selected for his text the second chapter of Matthew, hymn No. 189. "We notice that the wise men from the east, went to Jerusalem, saying, Where is He that was born King of the Jews? The subject, 15th verse, "Out of Egypt have I called my son, and Herod sought the young child, Jesus, because he did not want anyone to be king over him." It had been predicted that there would be one born King of the Jews. Collections at 11 p. m. $1.25. Sermon at 3 o'clock by Rev. J. W. Abram. Prayer by Rev. Wm. Patton. He selected for his text the first chapter of Ecclesiastes, fourth verse. "One generation passeth away, another generation cometh, but the earth abideth forever." We have been taught that the earth has passed away and another cometh, gathering as we do our accumulated thoughts of the hereafter. As we are unable to gather in the past conditions of the people, we find the hereafter brings peace and happiness and joy, and Jesus said if 'you tear down this temple in three days I will rear it up again.' He being the chief corner stone, the honor was performed. Collection, $1.20. The sermon at 7:30 p. m. was preached by Rev. Foster (hymn 213). Collection, $1.30. The opening lesson was read by the pastor, O. W. Harris. He selected for his text the fourteenth chapter and second verse of John: "In my Father's house are many mansions. If it was not so, I would have told you." Mansions are houses that are beautified with great gifts. These mansions are not in the elements, but it is you who are these beautiful mansions. They are not natural people, but they are spiritual followers of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and He said to His disciples: "Follow me," and they followed the star. They said, "We have found the great Messiah, Thou art the Son of God, and we bring these beautiful gifts by the lives we live to beautify God's house." EMMA WALKER Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Tuesday evening, May 20, will be the last "social round-up" of the Literary society in the old hall. Our hall was crowded last Tuesday evening with our friends, who came to hear Postmaster Wyman. Much credit is due to Mr. Newsome, of the educational committee, for the success of the meeting. Sunday afternoon, May 28, will be the last Sunday service for men held in the building. It will be a reunion and fellowship meeting for old and new members. Come early and bring a friend; 4 p. m. is the time; 2633 Lucas avenue the place. Because of unwholesome conditions which now surround us, and the fact that our building is not adapted for association work, we were forced to sell our building for the sum of $5,000. We have already secured an option on a larger piece of property on Lawton avenue, which will place us in a position to do effective association work. Help a Worthy Lady Miss Arsana M. Williams should be supported by our race in the contest of the Star.

TO THE FRONT. H. S. Ferguson, Proprietor of the New Century, Always to the Front. We notice that the above firm is pushing its way to the front. He has three restaurants, one on Chestnut street, near Fourteenth street, known as the "Blue Front." Another on Market street, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth and the third at 2315 Market street. We see the push on the part of this young man and we believe that success will crown his efforts. This young man has been in St. Louis one year, and from his work and square dealing with all, we look forward to better things. He says that he is here to stay. Go in and you will get a first-class meal. Just like eating at home. That is a consolation for every one to think that his home is the best, and if this young man can satisfy everybody and make them think that they are eating at home, he must be a most wonderful young man, so go and try. See and judge what this most wonderful Chicagoan has to say—it is just like eating at home. PETER H. HARRIS W. A. GAINS. W. A. Gains, national grand master of the U. B. F. and S. M. T., has requested that the order meet May 28 in their different churches in devotional service to God, our Father. The order in St. Louis will meet at the above church.

Bowles, at 2121 St. Louis avenue, on the 17th inst., given by the "Mother's Circle" an organization of twenty club women, with Mrs. Carrie K. Bowles as its most efficient president and leader. The guests of honor who were entertained by the club on this occasion were: Mrs. Susan P. Vashon, superintendent of Mother's Club under the N. A. C. W.; Mrs. Emma V. Gossin and Mrs. M. V. Cannon, the talented elocutionist. The brief business routine was succeeded by an address by the leader, Mrs. Bowles, who, in a succint and entertaining manner gave a sketch of the "Origin, Rise and Progress" of the club and of its encouraging prospects for future usefulness. Then followed an address of welcome to the guests by Mrs. F. J. Lucas, which though brief, was in excellent taste and expressive language. Mrs. Vashon then followed in an address to mothers. After expressing pleasure at meeting them she congratulated the members that the loving All-Father had been pleased to adorn their brows with the crown of motherhood which if worthily worn excelled all other ornaments. Touching briefly upon the home-life, its responsibilities, its pleasures, its teachings, she pronounced it as being emphatically the most important agency in the solution of the race problem. Her address was listened to with marked attention, and a rising vote of thanks, and the presentation of a beautiful bouquet of carnations, testified the appreciation of the club. Mrs. M. V. Cannon then recited, in her acknowledged eloquent style, a pathetic poem entitled, "Motherhood holding the listeners in spell-bound attention to the close. Brief remarks by Mrs. E. V. Gossin attesting her objections to race-suicide as evidenced in her married life, etc., an exquisite solo by Mrs. Fitzgerald (which was heartily encored) and several brilliant piano selections by Mrs. Stokes, closed a most enjoyable programme. A dainty menu was served, and after a brief season of social converse the assemblage retired to their several homes, well pleased with each other and with themselves. All honor to the Mother's Circle and to its worthy and energetic leader. The Bulletin Publishing Co.

Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to continue subscriptions. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their periodicals, the publisher may continue to send them until all arrearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from post office to which they are directed, they are responsible until they have settled their bills and ordered them discontinued. 4. If the subscriber moves to another place without informing the publisher, and the papers are sent to the former directions, they are held responsible. 5. The courts have decided that the refusing to take periodicals from post office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. 6. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice to the publishers, at the end of their time, if they do not wish to continue it, otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it, the subscriber will be responsible until an express notice with payment of arrearage is sent to the publisher. 7. The latest postal laws are such that newspaper publishers can arrest anyone for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under this law the man who allows his subscription to run along for some time, unpaid, and then orders the postmaster to mark it "refused," and has a card sent notifying the publishers, lays himself liable to arrest and fine, the same as for theft, etc. Annuity Festival. Active preparations are going on for the grand May festival to be given by the public schools, at the old Fair Grounds, Saturday, May 27. Participants from all of the district schools will compete in the "dashes" and "relay races," and pupils from the several high schools will give a very interesting exhibition in pole vaulting, broad jumping and shot putting. These events will take place in the arena, from 8 to 12 o'clock, in the morning. At 11 o'clock, in the grand stand, at the race track, will be given the grand choruses of six thousand voices, with orchestral accompaniment. The callisthenic in the arena will occur at 2:30 o'clock, in the afternoon. Each school will contribute its quota of boys and girls. The girls in white dresses, the boys with white waists, and ALL wearing red, white or blue caps, will present an animated and pleasing picture as they perform the calisthenic evolutions to the strains of popular airs, discoursed by the band. Warning. When you go to the drug store to buy a bottle of Ozonized Ox Marrow be sure that you get the "Ozonized." See that "Ozonized Ox Marrow Co., Chicago, U. S. A." is printed on the package.

Really this will be the most complete drug store in the city—fresh drugs daily. This, together with courteous treatment, will make this store the center of attraction. We bespeak for them a successful business. NOTICE TO ALL-In sending matter for publication, please send something with it, as the printer must be paid. We can not publish a paper on wind. J. W.

THE SOUTH SAID TO HAVE OR- - IGINATED MEMORIAL DAY. A Georgia Lady First Suggested the Idea—Has Been Observed in the Northern States Since 1868. At this season we read not a few newspaper stories of some new find concerning the beginning of Memorial fay tribute of flowers. The south has gotten out a little book telling how the custom had its start in a Georgia town, In January, 1886, Miss Lizzie Ruth- erford, of Columbus, Ga., who had la- bored zealously during the war as a member of the Soldiers’ Aid society, asked Mrs. Jane Martin to go with her to the cemetery to look after the sol- diers’ graves there, On the way home the ladies talked of the men that had given up their lives for their cause, and Miss Rutherford suggested that the Soldiers’ Aid form itself into a memor- ial association, and that a day every year be set aside for caring for and Gecorating the soldiers’ graves. Her companion received the suggestion with enthusiasm; thought it would be an easy matter to interest other wom- en in the memorial idea. At the next meeting of the Soldiers’ Aid society there was organized the Ladies’ Memorial association, which should provide for annual decoration of the graves. The date chosen for the flower-strewing was April 26. So- cieties all over the south sprang up in response to an appeal from the Colum- bus Memorial association, and the an- nual custom was established, g ‘The north sympathized with this tribute, but found the date chosen by the south too early. A southerner writes thus of the adoption of the cus- tom by the northerners: “The north looked on, thought the custom good, took it to herself and has hallowed it as she does her Thanksgiving obliga- tion. April was too early for her flow- ers, hence she set apart May 30,” The first general observance of the day in the north was in 1868. Gen. John A. Logan, commander-in-chiet of the Grand Army of the Republic, sent out a long order, which contained these words: “The 30th of May is designated for the purpose of strewing with flow- ers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country. No form of ceremony 4s prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange fitting services and testimonials of respect.” And it was added: “If other eyes grow dull, and other hearts cold in the trust, ours shall keep it well as long as the warmth and light of life remains to us.” It is said that a veteran living in Cincinnati had made the suggestion to the adjutant general of the grand army, and he in turn drafted a general order to the Grand Army posts to set aside a decoration day. “Gen. Logan enlarged the order and sent it out of. ficially. In 1968, on a special day, sol- diers’ graves were decorated in’ 183 cemeteries of 27 states; the next year 836 citles and towns in 31 states ob- served Memorial day. It is now one of our great national holidays. Miss Rutherford said she got her in- spiration for Memorial day from story called “Initials,” in which was described a custom among Germans of decorating the graves of friends on a special day. eS oD The Douglass Buffet and Pool Room Fis-las R ESTA U RA NT oars Fine Wines, Liquors and Cigars, ard the best of service offered. ons 12093 LewtonyAvenus io.

Much credit is due to Clara Barton, founder of the American National Red Cross, for the identification of northern dead in southern graves, CIVIL WAR MEMORIES. In Reviewing Past One Realizes Both Sides Were Impelled in a Great Movement of Sentiment. To-day this nation honors the mem ory of those who died for their coun try and pays homage to their surviv. ing comrades who risked their lives iz the same noble cause. And when we haye placed flowers on the graves of the dead heroes and stood uncovered as the thinning line of veterans winds slowly past, let us turn fron contem: plating the heroism of dying for one’s country to considering the greater he roism of living for it. What the country needs most to-day is the patriot whose highest purpose is to maintain in all its glory and honor the nation for which the patriot of the early 60's freely offered and gave his life. Our chief duty is ta preserye in peace and unity what was won in war. Sometimes it is much easier to dic for one's country than to live for it ‘There is no glamour, no dash, no spec. tacle or enthusiasm in winning the moral victories of peace. They come chiefly as the result of battles of the mind, moral conflicts, to the heroes of which the nation gives neither honors, pensions nor medals. ‘The man who lives for his country {s just as jealous for her honor as the man who dies for it. He does not place a wreath of flowers on the grave of 2 veteran and then betray the nation for which that veteran gave his life. He is among the first to honor the heroee of the war because he is himself a he ro—a hero of peace. | This country paid a heavy price for ‘liberty and national union. It cannot maintain these things without further sacrifices. But the price the living have to pay is not in blood and treas. ure, but in obedience to law, in re spect for justice, in fidelity to ow ideals, principles and institutlons.— Chicago Evening Post. Holiday to Be Preserved. It is to be hoped that Memorial day will never lose its sanctity. As long as Old Glory waves and the republic sur. vives it should remain the one day devot. ed to rehearsing the immortal valor ol the millions of American freemen who died that thefr country might live. Not Divided in Death. _ In the north, as in the south, there {s no sectional distinction; the graves of the union and the confederate dead are ‘decorated alike. They lie side by side ix ‘our national cemeteries. ; TwO MOURNERS. latin DEOL, y “TAGS eS sy ae Tp uaa uth We agate 1 7; Ea :F eon Ay?

We are confident that many of our people are looking for permanent homes, and we would suggest that they look to the great state of Texas, in or- der to make a personal investigation of the wonderful possibilities of the Lone Star state, Texas, particularly the territory traversed by the San An- tonio & Aransas Pass railway, which owns and operates 723 miles of road, as tollows: Main Line—San Antonio to Houston. ‘Waco Division—Waco to Yoakum. Lockhart Division—Lockhart to Shi- ner. Kerrvilie Branckh—San Antonio to Kerrville. Corpus Christi Branch—Corpus Christi to Kenedy. Rockport Branch—Rockport to Greg- ory. Alice and Falfurrias Branch—Skid- more to Alice and Falfurrias. By reference to the map you will see that they run through the finest and earliest truck-producing section in the southwest. ‘The climate is so that the farmers raise and sell something every month in the year; in fact, it is known as the “open winter” farming country of the southwest, where a man can work out in the open air every day, and does not have to spend all he makes in the Pum. © to keep him through the win- ter. It 1s uaderstood that the low rate Homeseekers’ tickets will continue to be on sale during November and De- cember to all San Antonio & Aransas Pass points, of which the following are the most prominent local stations: Falfurrias, Corpus Christi, Alice, Beeville, Skidmore, Runge, Cuero, Yorktown, Hallettsville, Rock Island, Yoakum, Giddings, Cameron, Luling, Rockport, Kennedy, Karnes City, Floresville, Rockdale, Gonzales. You can pack up Sallie and the ba- bies and go south, and they will show you all of these fertilized fields, where you can enjoy life. It is a sad mis- take when our people crowd into a large city. You can do better by tak- ing up your home in Texas. We will continue this appeal for the benefit and welfare of the Negroes. Go on SAN ANTONIO & ARANSAS PASS RAILWAY. If you wish to spend a pleasant win- ter, GO TO TEXAS. If you have money to invest in land, GO TO THXAS. If you wish to be benefited by the finest of “artesian well water, GO TO TEXAS. If there are another number of oth- er things you wish to do, just take ad- vantage of the never-before-heard-of offer of the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway and go to Texas. Just think! Only $15 a round trip to Texas. Quite often one makes his home in a place where tho best of advantages are not offered”him. The only way to remedy this incon- venience is to take advantage of what- ever opportunities afford themselves. Texas is a state that contains acre upon acre of production farm land. It is not only productive daring the summer, but what is most unusua! al- so during the winter. A man doesn’t have to “lay by” for the long winter months. The climate is such that one can farm all the year around. Some may hesitate because of the supposed difficulty in Cen of crops because of lack of railroads. Such a claim held good long years ago. At the present time, the San An- tonio railroad has access to every available point, and makes this spe- cial offer of $15 a round trip for the express benefit of those whose funds may be low, and who might wish to purchase land ia Texas, and could not afford the regular fare. “Lt hesitate longer.

At this point the Palladium man lost sight of them, but we went in search, and as We passed a little frame house, where a Christian lady and gentleman, with their family, reside, we heard a boy say: “Well, the lid is on in St. Louis, and we have come, out here in the country where we can get some beer.” ‘This, of course, shocked the Christian modesty of the lady of the house. In the front room the girls attempted to play the piano and dance, but they were given plainly to understand that this kind of conduct could not be tolerated in her house. After these rowdies had gone she asked her mar- ried daughter about them and who they were, She said that she met them at some party or picnic, and they ‘were high school girls.

Ward, D. D., of Atlanta, Ga., delivered the quadrennial sermon. His subject was "The Shepherd and the Flock;" his text was the twenty-eighth verse of the twentieth chapter of the Acts. He said: From the beginning of time until now, whenever God contemplated any great change in the affairs of the world or the church. He has invariably raised up instrumentalities with which to prosecute the work He had planned out in his own mind. Abraham was to be the sire of a race who were to be the almoners of God's recorded will. This nation was to be in number as the stars that illumine the midnight skies and as the shining sand-grains upon the ocean's strand. Moses, who was an adept in the learning of the Egyptians, was commissioned to bear the message of liberty to the courts of the Pharaohs. Prayer had smote the ear of Infinite Pity, and the arm that ruled the world reached down and grasped the manacled hand of captive Israel. The proud tyrant was warned of the approaching vengeance. In vain he defied the uplifted holt of avenging Heaven. He resisted and was crushed. The new-born nation, guided by the mystic fiery cloud-pillar, rolled back the glad paean. "The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is his name;" and passed dry shod through the channels of the deep, and planted their feet, amid the strains of timbrel and harp, on freedom's distant shores. When He announced the decalogue, whose provisions were for the government of all nations in all after time, Moses was the agent; from the trembling summit of Sinai, amid the deafening roar of booming thunders, the blare of sounding trumpets, the quick, sharp shock of earthquakes and the lurid glare of lightnings' God simply uttered His protest against sin and announced the fearful punishment which should follow its commission. Above the column of smoke and fire and cloud was seen the cross making radiant the hill of Calvary. When He would establish a permanent house of worship he elected David to collect the materials; which were valued at thirty millions. But he, being a man whose skirts were lurid with the gore of God's foes, was not permitted to build a temple, which, for beauty, durability and strength, has challenged the admiration of the ages. This magnificent structure was the emblem of that nobler and grander building, whose stones are the living members of Him who is our risen, living head—that stone upon which this unbelieving and godless age is now breaking itself to pieces. The spiritual walls are still towering upward, and extending poleward their shining minarets catch the morn-beams of the burning dawn and flash back the golden glories of the western sunset. How labyrinthine and mysterious were the movements of the church in the earlier ages of the world? Prophets spoke, prayed, hoped and died. There came a time when there was no Urim or Thummim. The oracles of Heaven were dumb. The nations were sighing for spiritual deliverance. Minerva could not satisfy the polished, the philosophic Greek. Who will feed our famishing soul? was the wall that escaped both Jewish and Gentile lips. The predicted hour announcing redemption's morn had come. It was Christmas morning; the air was crisp and cold; the shivering shepherds were watching their flocks. A strange feeling seized them; the heavens looked softer than ever before. They were strangely exhilarated; they looked and saw, trailing across the sky, a celestial visitor. They were alarmed. The heavenly stranger bid them dismiss their fears. He wheeled his steed of light, and moved back with marked celerity toward the gates of pearl. Millions of angels led the chorus of Redemption's song, while earth reeched back the choral strain, "Glory to God on high, peace and good will to all men," white and black, rich and poor, illiterate and learned. The light that streamed from Bethlehem's star chased back the cimmerian darkness that shrouded the pathway to the tomb. The Babe of Bethlehem became the world's Redeemer. Others before him had enunciated great principles and truths. The tendency of their saplent utterances was to purify society, perpetuate order, illuminate the mind, bring in the reign of law, crush the iron hoof of the proud oppressor. But the soul's hunger-pains were still unsatisfied. Who will feed us? asked the hungry sheep. Those deep, stronger spiritual wants must be supplied. Rome, flushed with conquest, her eagles and well-drilled battalions sweeping from sea to sea, panted for the rest which remains for the people of God. The adelphic oracle could not answer the soul's question: How shall I find rest? Minerva, Juno and Apollo were silent. Demosthemas, Socrates, Nero and Cicero could not feed the famishing heart. The old thoughtful Greek heard weird voices in the forest copse and on mountain cone; he saw wondrous shapes in flower, bird, cloud, star and sun. But what is the great beyond who will illumine the voiceless valley of the dead. What light shall drive back the thick night of darkness that hovers over the gates of the tomb? Shall not the fires of friendship and love be rekindled in the great, the ever- lasting forever? Tell me ye oracles of heaven! One has said that the City of God was built on the CONFLUENCE OF THREE CIVILIZATIONS. These separate states of men were represented by the Hebrew, the Greek and the Roman. From this triple-headed fountain were to emerge the waters of the River of Life. The Hebrews were the chosen people of God. With them He deposited His Word. In all their wanderings they forgot not the God of Abraham. They cherished the memories of their prophets priests and kings. When captives in the land of the Chaldeans they would not tighten the wires of their harps, because the Daughter of Zion was humbled and crushed. We can not wipe out the memory of Salem's sacred towers. Our harps shall still hang on the drooping willows that throw their long shadows over Babel's troubled stream. For ages this Hebrew stream rolled through the earth—often turgid and turbulent—still its sacred waters fertilized the arid valleys of this sinnetted earth, healing, purging, cleansing the surrounding nations. What wondrous memories cluster about that heaven-guided race? The decalogue was the corner-stone of their civil as well as their ecclesiastical government. The altar, the victim, the blood—all pointed to the great Victim, whose blood was to be an atonement for every race of every age and clime. One of the great changes which opened a new era in the world's history was the overthrow of the Chaldean empire; and the Medean and Persian army, under the leadership of Cyrus, whom God had called, was the chief instrument in creating this marked epoch. Babylon, with her massive walls, swinging gardens, brazen gates and stately towers—Babylon, the Hammer of the earth, was broken; but the power of Cyrus passed away. Alexander, the son of Philip of Macedon, leaped forth, like a lion from his covert shaking the glittering dewdrops of the morning from his bristling mane. His invincible warriors swept through the earth like a tempest of fire. For ages the Greek was the prince in the kingdom of letters, Athens became the birthplace of philosophy, oratory, science, sculpture and poetry. AFRICA CONTRIBUTED LARGELY Toward increasing the literary grandeur of Greece. The Greek kindled his torch with the red fire that flamed and blazed on African altars. Mount Olympus almost became the rival of Mount Zion. That was the golden age of letters. When has the world produced such men as molded and directed the Grecian mind? When Paul entered Athens they were ready to listen to the new but glorious truths of salvation; they were familiar with all branches of learning; they were refined, generous and brave, but were not the children of God—not joint heirs with Christ. Their influence was civilizing, but not Christianizing; their form of civilization created a taste for learning, but their theology was divorced from their morality. The Third Confluent—The Romans had become the world's masters. All other nations bowed to their sway—the two legs, part iron part clay. They were both weak and strong. They were warriors and merchants. Their republic, like ours, was first founded upon justice and human rights; but, like as we, increased in numbers, grew in wealth, they became rapacious and cruel. They had become demoralized by their slavery and civil and foreign wars. Their buildings, baths, harbors, roads, bridges and sepulchers surpassed any other nation on the globe. The Greek language, expressing the highest forms of thought, became the ruling tongue of the age. Most of the books of the New Testament were written in this tongue. It is to-day the grandest of all tongues. Through this medium the nations received the news of grace. Thus the Cross of Jesus followed the Eagles of the Caesars. The Romans were a powerful people. These signs of material greatness demonstrated their greatness and power as a nation; but these signs were also emblems of oppression, and cruelty, and wrong. The most powerful nation on earth felt itself to be the most helpless nation—helpless because they could not draw strength from the Arm of Eternal Might. The Hebrews wanted a Messiah, the Greeks a Healer and the Romans a Consoler. therefore, is raised up to bear the tidings to these Gentile nations. Though a Jew in the broadest acceptance of that term, he was the chief exponent and champion of the gospel to the Romans and Greeks—to the Gentile world. The power of God unto salvation, first to the Jew, then to the Greek, was the burden of his theme. Called and chosen, he goes forth sowing the seed-grain of gospel truth in different parts of the earth. What a record of labor and of sufferings, of heroic endurance. Wherever he went, the rod, the scourge, the halter, the dungeon awaited him. Did he falter Did he quall? Did he mark over his brow in big letters. "I AM FOR SALE?" No! He reproved rulers, denounced wicked and profligate kings, and despised the shame and glorified in Christ. Hissed, traduced, villified and persecuted, he held on his way, and dying, shouted back from out the mystic waters of Jordan, "Death, where is thy sting; grave, thy boasting victory?" Paul was the representative of this new doctrine, the doctrine of the resurrection from the dead. Philosophic, thoughtful, earnest, with a broad mental grasp, he was a fit character to become the propagator of a truth the acceptance of which would lead millions home to God. Familiar with the traditions of the church as well as the Scriptures and the Talmud, he had the ability to grapple with the enemies of the new gospel and to preach Jesus risen from the dead. He had seen the glory that beamed from the face of the Incarnate Deity, and cheered with his presence, he persevered to the end. The vessel halts for a few hours; word had been already sent that Paul was to halt at Miletus. The Bishop and Presbyters of Ephesus meet him, perhaps for the last time. How solemn the scene! How grand the hour! Here were men who were facing death because they embraced Christ. They had read his epistle. The thoughts it contained had strengthened them for the moral conflict. Once more they gaze upon their great leader, small in stature, but tall enough to touch the heavens. Listen to the words which are still ringing through the ages, thrilling the heart of the church. Having delivered his message, he dropped upon his knees and prayed until men wept, angels shouted and devils trembled. * * * * * * * SANITARY SUGGESTIONS. So readily is the mind affected by the condition of the body that it is the duty of every one to see that his system is in good condition. Wrench and twist the body with torturing pains and the mind ceases, in a measure, to work. Many men break down at two-score by reason of self-abuse. What a wonderful piece of mechanism is the human body; 240 bones, 400 muscles, the alimentary canal thirty-two feet long; the heart is about six inches in length, four inches in diameter, beats seventy times per minute, 4,200 per hour, 100,800 per day, 36,792,000 times per year, 2.575,440,000 in seventy years; at each beat two and a half ounces of blood are drawn out of it—175 ounces per minute, 656 per hour, seven and three-quarters tons per day. All the blood in the body passes through the heart in three minutes. This little organ, by its ceaseless industry, in the allotted span the Psalmist gave to man, lifts the enormous weight of 400,000,000 pounds. The lungs will contain about one gallon of air at their usual degree of inflation. We breathe an average of 1,200 per hour, inhaling 600 gallons of air, or 14,400 gallons per day. The aggregate surface of the air-cells of the lungs exceeds 20,000 square inches, an area nearly equal to a twelve-foot room. The weight of the brain is three pounds eight ounces; the nerves are all connected with it or the spinal marrow, and these nerves, together with their amplifications, exceed 100,000,000, outnumbering the greatest army ever marshaled. The skin is composed of three layers, and varies from one-fourth to one-eighth of an inch in thickness. Its average in an adult is estimated to be 2,000 square inches. The atmospheric pressure being about fourteen pounds to the square inch, a person of medium size is subjected to a pressure of 40,000 pounds. Each square inch of skin contains 3,500 sweating tubes, each of which may be likened to a little drain tile a quarter of an inch long, making an aggregate length of the entire surface of the body of 201,160, or a tile ditch for draining nearly forty miles long. Keep the head cool, the feet warm and clean. When the stomach is disordered EAT NOTHING BUT GRUEL until you get well. We Americans are great gourmands. Toughen the throat by keeping it exposed. Without health we shall be failures. Physical culture for a long time made the Greeks the ripest scholars and best warriors the world ever saw. Two hours' daily play with the buck and saw has saved many valuable lives. The age demands an enlightened and sanctified pulpit. Religion, learning and wealth are the three great forces which must give power and prestige to the race. These three great elements of power are destined to lift us out of the unsunned depths of ignorance and superstition and sin. The accumulated debris of the ages of oppression must, through these grand agencies, be forever removed. Mental development and moral purity are our two first and greatest wants. We must plant the seed buds of thought. To do this we must subject ourselves to severe mental discipline. The march of thought is always slow. God has opened to us a door of marvelous usefulness. Four millions of people look hopefully toward our organization. The different colored Methodisms of America point with exulant pride to our Wilberforce and Payne institute and pay homage to our iron-throated orator, the Christian Recorder, whose voice penetrates to either pole. "The price of liberty is eternal vigilance; the price of wisdom is eternal thought." How vast the power of the human mind! The general conference, with its vast brain power, should introduce a measure looking toward the founding of a conference seminary in every conference district. The work is not so formidable as some may sum pose. Nearly all the conferences are having a supply of educated men. Place such men at all great centers of influence and let it be understood that they will be expected to build up our educational work if upon never so small a scale. Let the president of Wilberforce be paid from the Dollar Fund. Do not allow him to be embarrassed. Untie his hands and give him a full, free swing. The mental condition of our people in the south is appalling, heartrending. We must make provision for intellectual wants of our people in that section. Nearly every other denomination is leaving us in the rear. BRAIN-POWER WILL BE SUPREME. Encourage learning, and you will live; despise it, and you will die. Can we comprehend the occult law which govern the material without learning? Nature may whisper sweet, entrancing melody; the stars may shimmer and glow until the midnight heavens are radiant with the light of celestial worlds; the spring-tide may annually stir the heart of nature with strange, mystic power; buds, blooms and quivering leaf may strike the eye and the ear; the deep-voiced thunderstorms may roll their reeville, summoning the armies of nature to battle; the lightning, God's shining battle spear, may gleam in overwhelming grandeur as it cleaves the mountain oak and illumines the skies covered with thunder clouds; the hills and mountains flash back the glories of a thousands suns until laughing streams and swelling seas all shout, "Praise ye the Lord," and yet the ignorant may not hear all these celestial nor see those divine visions. To feed the flock we must pray, study and meditate. Time does not permit to pass through the rich fields of scientific and practical learning. We shall take time to select such text books as will materially aid our young men in gaining a right conception of the power and priceless value of sanctified learning. Once create taste, an earnest thirst for knowledge, unveil the wonders which lie hidden in siderial science and the occult mysteries of sea and shore, and when this unwritten volume is once unfolded to the budding intellect of our rising pulpit, a halo of moral beauty will glow around our young men which will command the respect of even those who prate about Negro inferiority. An enlightened ministry, whose talents and culture have been consecrated to God, will make an intelligent, large-hearted church. Like priest, like people. We should select books that contain within as small compass as possible the pith and marrow of the best authors upon such subjects which most interest and concern us. No man can learn everything, but what any other man has done we can do. Master whatever you take in hand. A knowledge of the classics, and especially of mathematics, will be great aids in the interpretation of the doctrines of the gospel. CLOSING EXHORTATION. Ye who come from the different sections of our ocean-bound republic—a country made one by the blood of a million of men—a nation whose empire extends from sea sea. Purified in the hot furnace of civil war, she is now rising into greatness, not through her vast possessions only, but by her respect for the rights of man. This nation, with her feet dipping in the waters of the Gulf, her head reclining on the granite peaks of Alaska—to such a country we return our unswerving allegiance, when she tramples upon our right we will say "Strike but hear." Men who come from the sunny savannahs of the flower-spangled south and from the rolling, teeming prairies of the west, as well as from the sunset land where Mounts Shasta, Hood and Baker lift their white shafts to the clouds—to one and all we say, be loyal to God, true to yourselves, to your church, to your race; avoid the pedantry of learning; crush out the blue imps of ignorance, vaulting ambition, treachery, political trickery and hell-born caste, always placing true and tried men over the flock. Do all these things and more and we shall be a pole star to the Colored Methodisms of America. Africa, long shrouded in pagan night, shall catch silvery beams that stream from Bethlehem's star. Ethiopia, long despised, forgotten and forsaken, shall stretch forth her hands to the heavenly Shepherd, who to-day is ranging the cold, barren mountains of Paganism, seeking the millions who have been torn by the wolves of superstition and idolatry. He who has guarded and defended this flock for three score years and four is with us still. The Lion of Judah guards the chosen fold. May your deliberations be marked with wisdom, moderation and patience, so that the work we may do may draw upon the assembly the approving smile of Heaven. May the Holy Ghost dictate every official act. Thus imperfectly have we aimed to do our duty. We have tried to do our best. God demands no more. Many of us are brushing the dews of Jordan's shore. We will soon have crossed to dwellings of Jordan. Let us with girded loins, well-trimmed and well-filled lamps, be ready when the Bridegroom comes, and shout, "Death, where is thy sting? Grave, where is thy boast?" May He save us for His name's sake. Amen. ENTERTAINMENT. Rebecca 'temple and St. Mary's Temple, S. M.

The eastern interests, headed by Henry Sielecken of New York, who at the stockholders' meeting in Kansas City secured control of the Kansas City Southern railway, are planning extensive improvements for the new property. Daniel C. Boissevan of New York, one of the new directors, said "The Kansas City Southern has been held down by the voting trust. It could not be developed. We intend to make it the Great Northern of this section. Just as that road stood in St. Paul as the feeder and fed by five or six lines, so shall the Southern be in Kansas City. We can get all the money we want now, and we shall make the road what it should be. We shall try to make Port Arthur a port of entry so that Kansas City shall have another connection with ocean steamship lines and the rest of the world." Cemetery for the Faithful Cemetery for the Faithful. The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has purchased a tract of 20 acres one mile north of Independence, on the rock road. The title to the land has been vested in the board of control of the church and it will be made the regular church cemetery. This will be the second cemetery founded in the United States by this creed, the only other one being at Lamont, Ia., one of the strongholds of the sect. The bodies of the faithful who die in this state or any of the surrounding ones will be brought to Independence for interment in the new cemetery. It is planned to make the cemetery one of the most beautiful in the state. All the money derived from the sale of lots in it as well as other sums will be spent in its improvement.

A special meeting of the Commercial club was held at Macon, in which Congressman James T. Lloyd and A. N. Johnson, highway engineer of the agricultural department, Washington, D. C., and D. Ward King, of Maitland, spoke regarding good roads. The gentlemen were driven over the mile of experimental road which the government is going to build out of Macon. The citizens will furnish the stone, teams and common labor, and the government the machinery and three experts. The object of the agricultural office is to show which is the best method of road building. This is the first piece Mr. Johnson has made in Missouri. Wanted to Go to the Circum. Wanted to go to the circus. The girls at the Industrial home initiated the superintendent Mrs. Emma Mackay, with a riot. The inmates of Marmaduke cottage got loose. All but two were captured early in the evening. One of these two was caught two miles from town in an abandoned brick yard. The other was found in a barn at Wheeling, ten miles east of here, Tuesday morning. She was brought back by Constable Collins of Wheeling. The trouble started over the refusal of the officers to permit the girls to attend a circus in the afternoon. Return Race After 50 Years. June 15, 1855, Joseph Nipp and F. S. Chambers met for a match foot race on the prairie south of what is now Nevada. Mr. Chambers won the race and it was agreed that there should be a return match. After considerable bandying it was agreed that the second race should be run after the lapse of 50 years, which makes the date of it June 15, 1905. Both are still living and it is said the race will be run as per agreement. Mr. Nipp is one of the wealthiest citizens of Nevada. Chinaman Saves His Queue.

He will be the first prisoner who has been confined in the state penitentiary who has not first had his hair cut short. Hunged Himself at 80 Years. R. M. Woodward, of Lamont, hanged himself in the barn of his son, H. E. Woodward, six miles northwest of there. His body was found by members of the family.

C., Tells of Wonderful Curse of Eczema by Cuticura. Mr. S. B. Hege, passenger agent of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in Washington, D. C., one of the well-known railroad men of the country, sends the following greetful letter in praise of the Cuticura Remedies. "Thanks to the Cuticura Remedies, I am now rid of that fearful pest, weeping eczema, for the first time in three years. It first appeared on the back of my hand in the form of a little pimple, growing into several blotches, and then on my ears and ankles. They were exceedingly painful because of the itching and burning sensation, and always raw. After the first day's treatment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills, there was no difference in itching and the cure now seems to be complete. I shall be glad to aid in relieving others suffering as I was, and you may use my letter as you wish. (Signed) S. B. Hege, Washington, D. C., June 9, 04."

The opportunity for the man of little means is probably better to-day in the prairie states of the Southwest than ever before in the history of the nation. The chance of pre-empting claims or of taking up lands under government laws is gone and will not return again. It is a different kind of opening which lies before the settler and its promise is of exceeding brightness. Its best opportunity is the transformation Southwest where the transformation is going on and where the conditions of soil and climate are in harmony with the warm skies and temperate winds. To the man who is not satisfied with his condition, the Southwest has an inviting future. Along the lines of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway there are vast areas of unimproved lands awaiting willing hands to make them land the bountiful crops of which the land is capable. There is a need of stores, factories and new business of the Southwest to provide an opportunity in the finest section of the United States. The Southwest is unexcelled for the variety and fertility of its soils—for its climate. Its people are progressive and up-to-date, its religious and educational facilities are as good as can be found elsewhere. The Southwest RY has no lands for sale, but is interested in building up this productive country. It is believed that the Southwest has brighter prospects and offers better opportunities than any other seeing. Seeing is believing. For that reason the Southwest courts investigation of the conditions as they exist.

Mrs. Sarah Kellogg of Denver, Color Bearer of the Woman's Relief Corps, Sends Thanks to Mrs. Pinkham. The following letter was written by Mrs. Kellogg, of 1628 Lincoln Ave., Denver, Colo., to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "For five years I was troubled with a tumour which is growing, causing me intense agony and Mrs. Sarah Kellogg M. B. H. Mrs. Sarah Kellogg growing, causing me great mental depression, intense agony and a great tendance to my house work, and life became a burden to me. I was confined for days to my bed, lost my appetite, my courage and all hope. "I could not bear to think of an operation, and in my distress I tried every remedy which I thought would be of any use to me, and reading of the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's thought would give it a trial. I felt so discouraged that I had little hope of recovery, and when I began to feel better, after the second week, thought it only meant temporary relief; but to my great surprise I found that I kept gaining, "The Compound continued to build up my general health and the tumor seemed to be absorbed, until in seven months, the tumor was entirely gone and I a well woman. I am so thankful for my recovery that I ask you to publish my letter in newspapers, so other women may know of the wonderful curative Compound." When women are troubled with irregular or painful menstruation, weakness, leucorrhea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, flatulence, general debility, indigestion and nervous prostration, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such trouble. No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine: Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass. Health is too valuable to risk in experiments with unknown and untreated medicines or methods of treatment. Remember that it is Lydia E.

In his testimony before the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce at Washington on May 4th, Prof. Hugo R. Meyer, of Chicago University, an expert on railroad management, made this statement:— "Let us look at what might have happened if we had heeded the protests of the farmers of New York and Ohio and Pennsylvania (in the seventies when grain from the west began pouring to the Atlantic seaboard) and acted upon the doctrine which the Interstate Commerce Commission has enunciated time and again, that no man may be deprived of the advantages accruing to him by virtue of his geographical position. We could not have west of the Mississippi a population of millions of people who are prosperous and are great consumers. We never should have seen the years when we built 10,000 and 12,000 miles of railway, for there would have been no farmers west of the Mississippi River who could have used the land that would have been opened up by the building of those railways. And if we had not seen the years when we could build 10,000 and 12,000 miles of railway a year, we should not have today east of the Mississippi a steel and iron producing center which is at once the marvel and the despair of Europe, because we could not have built up a steel and iron industry if there had been no market for its product. "We could not have in New England a great boot and shoe industry; we could not have in New England a great cotton milling' industry; we could not have spread throughout New York and Pennsylvania and Ohio manufacturing industries of the most diversified kinds, because those industries would have no market among the farmers west of the Mississippi River. "And while the progress of this country, while the development of the agricultural West of this country, did mean the impairment of the agricultural value east of the Mississippi River that ran up into hundreds of millions of dollars, it meant incidentally the building up of great manufacturing industries that added to the value of this land by thousands of millions of dollars. And, gentlemen, those things were not foreseen in the seventies. The statesmen and the public man of this country did not see what part the agricultural development of the West was going to play in the industrial development of the East. And you may read the decisions of the Interstate Commerce Commission from the first to the last, and what is one of the greatest characteristics of those decisions? The continued inability to see the question in this large way. "The Interstate Commerce Commission never can see anything more than that the farm land of some farmer is decreasing in value, or that some man who has a flour mill with a production of 50 barrels a day is being crowded out. It never can see that the destruction or impairment of farm values in this place means the building up of farm values in that place, and that that shifting of values is a necessary incident to the industrial and manufacturing development of this country. And if we shall give to the Interstate Commerce Commission power to regulate rates, we shall no longer have our rates regulated on the statesmanlike basis on which they have been regulated in the past by the railway men, who really have been great statesmen, who really have been great builders of empires, who have had an imagination that rivals the imagination of the greatest poet and of the greatest inventor, and who have operated with a courage and daring that rivals the courage and daring of the greatest military general. But we shall have our rates regulated by a body of civil servants, bureaucrats, whose besetting sin the world over is that they never can grasp a situation in a large way, and with the grasp of the statesman; that they never can see the fact that they are confronted with a small evil; that that evil is relatively small, and that it cannot be corrected except by the creation of evils and abuses which are infinitely greater than the one that is to be corrected."

Comment and Suggestive Thought. V. 17. "He." Jesus. "Deating His cross." Carrying and dragging the huge wooden cross on which He was to be executed. This all criminals were required to do. "Golgotha." Called in Latin, "Calvary." It was named "the place of a skull," because the barren hillock resembled a skull. V. 18. "Crucified Him." Nailed Him to the cross, which was then planted in the ground, and the victim left to suffer long agony until death should relieve Him. V. 19. "Pilate wrote a title." Under the Roman governor's direction a board had been prepared on which, in black letters, was inscribed the words: "JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS." This tablet was carried by a soldier in the procession on the way to Calvary, and then nailed at the top of the cross when this was get up. V. 20. "Written in Hebrew, Greek, Latin." Hebrew was understood by Jews, Latin by Romans, and Greek by most of the other peoples. V. 21. "Write not, The King," etc. Jews were offended. They saw that Pilate had taken revenge upon them because they had forced him to act against his wish. They wanted the world to know that Jesus claimed to be, but was not by them acknowledged, King of the Jews. V. 22. "What I have written I have written." Pilate refused to change what he had written. It satisfied him that he had charged the Jews with executing their king. V. 23. "Took His garments . . . four parts." The garments of the crucified one were awarded by law to those who crucified him. Jesus' cloak, cap, girdle and sandals were given one to each soldier, but the inner tunic, like the highpriest's robe, was woven entire, and to tear it would destroy its value, so they determined by casting lots—perhaps throwing dice—which one would receive this. V. 24. "Scripture fulfilled." See marginal references in your Bible. V. 25. The other Gospels tell that great numbers of the enemies of Jesus surrounded or passed by His cross, and mocked and jeered Him. John tells only of the heart-broken friends who gathered about, watching His last agony. "His mother's sister." Probably Salome, the mother of John. V. 26. "The discipline . . . loved." John, "Woman." This was a respectful way of speaking. "Behold thy son! . . . Behold thy mother!." Thus He committed them to the care of one another. V. 27. "From that hour." From the time of Jesus' death. V. 28. "All . . . accomplished." All that God in human flesh could do to reveal Himself as the Lover and Saviour of men, had been done. He had traveled all the weary road any of His human children are called to travel "Scripture fulfilled." See marginal reference. "I thirst." Such wounds as are given a crucified one produce most terrible thirst. V. 29. "Vessel . . . vinegar." A jar of the sour wine the soldiers had brought to refresh themselves. "They." One of the soldiers. Having received the drink, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, then presently said (30), "It is finished," and His spirit returned to the Father. Cross-Bearing for Christ.—At a large Sunday-school anniversary a boy of Jewish caste, with piercing eyes, in the midst of deep silence rose and repeated: "Jesus, I my cross have taken, all to leave and follow Thee," in a voice so thrilling as to move the whole audience. Many eyes were moist, for the story of the young Jew was known. His father had told him he must either leave the Sunday school or quit home forever, and the hymn showed what he had given up to follow Christ. The meeting was inspired with new life. Friends gathered round him at the close, and business men united in securing him a situation by which he could earn his own living. —Christian at Work. Practical Points V. 17.

FOR SUNDAY READING SAVED IN SERVICE. Forbid for me an easy place, O God, in some sequestered nook, Apart to lie With folded hands, in quiet rest, To doze and dream, and weaker grow, Until I die. Give me, O Lord, a task so hard That all my powers shall tax be To doze and dream, That I may stronger grow in toil, And fitted be, for service harder still, Until I rest. This my reward—development From what I am, to what Thou art, For this I plead: Wrought out, by being wrought upon, By deeds reflect, done in love, For those in need. -Charies C. Earle, in Service. WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY? An Answer as Given by Dr. John Watson (Ian Maclaren) in the Congregationalist. It is to believe that at the heart of things there is a Power with a mind and a will, from Whom everything has come, and by Whom everything is sustained; Who is immanent in the universe, and specially inhabits the human soul; Who is directing everything to moral ends, and Whose character can be summed up in love. That Jesus Christ came from God and is in a sense peculiar to Him the Son of God, that He has declared the character of God to the human race, has broken the power of sin, and is the point of union between God and man. It is to fight the lower self at the base of our nature, to give the supreme place to the soul, to carry the Cross of Christ in daily life, and to keep His Commandment of love, to forget one's self, and to think of others, to serve instead of ruling, to give instead of taking, to suffer instead of resisting. It is to hope that in the long battle between right and wrong, right will conquer, that the things apparently evil are making for good, that the agony of suffering will end in the blessing of holiness, that God is working everything up into something better in this world and that which is to come, and that humanity will one day be raised to the perfection of Christ. Faith, Hope and Charity; without the faith there can neither be the charity, nor the hope; without the charity the faith is not living; without the hope the charity is not crowned. The charity proves the faith and creates the hope—the greatest of these is charity. He who loves is therefore most surely a Christian. A LAMB SCHOOL. Missionary in Cesarea Gives an Interesting Glimpse of Life in That Sacred Land. Rev. James L. Fowle, a missionary in Cesarea, Turkey, says: "A3 I was approaching a Turcoman village on the Angora road, I noticed a spot of white on the green sward that was going back and forth in what seemed to us an unaccountable manner. . . . to us an unaccountable manner. . . . We puzzled over the phenomenon for a long time, but in vain, till we reached the outskirts of the village. There we found it was a lamb school. They were teaching the lambs and kids to know and follow the voice of the shepherd. The boy that was to act as shepherd went before them either playing on his simple pipe or making a bur-r-ing noise with his lips and voice. On either side or behind were boys with slender switches with which they gently turned back stragglers or urged on laggards. And so back and forth, to right and to left, they were led until they got used to hearing and following the voice of the shepherd. And the hunger of the kids, too, helped in the lesson. Away off in the distance the flock of mothers—a mothers' meeting—could be seen slowly approaching the village. The little ones know that if they follow the shepherd's voice, sometime they will find a breakfast. . . . It is needless to say that 'school is dismissed about that time' FIGS AND THISTLES. Love is life's magnetism. Happiness is heart health. Serenity follows sincerity. A bias is not a good basis. Men never give flattery outright; it is always a loan. He cannot lead men who has no time to listen to a child. Praying for a man will soon take all envy out of the heart. It takes a long while to feather a nest on a wild-goose chase. The power of piety does not depend on its being painful. People who ride the high horse will wear the big bandage. The man who displays his doubts doesn't want them dissolved. The richest life is the one that has been willing to lose all.—Ram's Horn. Choosing God. Those who choose God for their portion, who trust Him for salvation, love Him above all created objects, renounce worldly interests and connections for His glory, and count nothing too valuable to part with, too hard to do, or too sharp to suffer for His sake and to promote His cause, shall be honored by Him; but those who despise His authority, His salvation, His cause, in comparison with the interests, credit or pleasure of themselves will be dishonored.—Scott you were left a widower?

GRIP'S UGLY SEQUEL GRIP'S UGLY SEQUEL KNEES STIFF, HANDS HELPLESS, RHEUMATISM NEAR HEART. Mrs. Van Scoy Experiences Dangerous After-Effects from Grip and Learns Value of a Blood Remedy. The grip leaves behind it weakened vital powers, thin blood, impaired digestion and over-sensitive nerves—a condition that makes the system an easy prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheumatism, nervous prostration, and even consumption. The story told by scores of victims of the grip is substantially the same. One was tortured by terrible pains at the base of the skull; another was left tired, faint and in every way wretched from anemia or scantiness of blood; another had horrible headaches, was nervous and couldn't sleep; another was left with weak lungs, difficulty in breathing and acute neuralgia. In every case relief was sought in vain until the great blood-builder and nerve-tonic, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, was used. For quickness and thoroughness of action nothing is known that will approach it. Mrs. Van Scoy makes a statement that supports this claim. She says: "I had a severe attack of grip and, before I had fully recovered, rheumatism set in and tormented me for three months. I was in a badly run-down state. Soon after it began I was so lame for a week that I could hardly walk. It kept growing steadily worse and at last I had to give up completely and for three weeks I was obliged to keep my bed. My knees were so stiff I couldn't bend them, and my hands were perfectly helpless. Then the pains began to threaten my heart and thoroughly alarmed me. "While I was suffering in this way I chanced to run across a little book that told about the merits of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The statements in it impressed me and bef me to buy a box. These pills proved the very thing I needed. Improvement set in as soon as I began to take them, and it was very marked by the time I had finished the first box. Four boxes made me a well woman." Mrs. Laura M. Van Scoy lives at No. 20 Thorpe street, Danbury, Conn. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are equally well adapted for any other of the diseases that follow in the train of grip. They are sold by all druggists. PAXTINE TOILET ANTISEPTIC FOR WOMEN troubled with lilies peculiar to their use, the disease is marvelously successful.
