The harp OF ZiOn's psalmist now Is still
Ten thousand eyes In bitter grief have wept,
Because the hand that, with q masters skill,
These silver chords 30 long, 10 sweetly wept,
Is turned to ashes In the fatal flames
No more, on earth, that voice redemption sings,
And sounds the Name above all other names,
with whose high praises even Heayen rings
II,
The harp Is still The harp Ia not here
No more shall that anointed silver tongue
Arouse the dull and inattentlye ear,
And teach US how the gospel may be sung!
How poets harp and heart, alike devote,
Both words and melodies may c0nsecrlte,
ill Chrlst's own call is heard In every note,
And winds the wanderer to the narrow gate
III,
The earthly harp Is still but up on high,
Where everlasting anthems ceaseess Ioll,
golden harp, resounding in the sky,
Thrills with the'trium phi on z Tansomed soul
There mid the host OF the celestial choir,
His sorrow buried and his heart at rest,
He has more holiness his souls desire,
Safe in the arms OF Jesus, on His breast
".
Weep not for him. who now doth fully know
The depths Of mercy and the grace divine
lhc precious blood, that makes him white as
And sings with rapture; "Yes,.T know He's
mine !"
He leadeth him lie guides him with His eye;
Light Of the world, He brightly beams on him;
And, brethren, we shall meet him by and by,
Where not tear the ransomed eye shall dim,
v.
Catch up and echo ye His trumpet tone,
Let whosOever heareth shout the sound
Well tell Of Him who saves and saves alone,
Till sinners shall receive the world around,
Shall shout lis done. ], too, believe the Son.
TIL prOdigals come home and kiss His feet
TIL hearts cmptied Of self, by grace are won,
Nothing but vessels Tor His use made meet
vi.
He'd bid us, could he speak, from mansions fair
Rescue the perishinG, not mourn the dead
Bid burdened souls dismiss their loads OF care,
And learn that Jesus loves them-.-tor them bled,
lie seems to shout from over JOrdans wave,
"Hold ye the fort by help OF grace divine
Let lower lights be burning, you may save
Some struggling seaman, II your light doth shine.
VII.
Let us not weep. When Jesus comes we'll fly,
And enter into rest--were going home.
He gave HIS life for us why should we sigh
For then our weaay feet no more shall roam,
Now coming to the cross, anew to he
With Jesus Crucfed, we shall, ere long,
The ransomed saints and our dear Savior zee.

BOB ROWLAND AND THE NEW GOLD
FIELDS

We find the following statement concern
ing the new gold diggings III the Sentinel of
Thursday. Bob's remarks seem tempered
with wisdom and commemorate cautious
ness
We mentioned the other day that r. NJ.
Howland-better known as Bob--had gone
out to the new gold fields in the vicinity of
jeff Davis Peak He is there, and sends
back few facts which we hasten to lay before
our readers His letter is dated, q Under
Tree, Osceola June 9th, and he proceeds to
say that there is not enough gold in that Sec
ton, either III quartz or placers, to Justify an
excitement. He says water is scarce, and
Enthusiastically adds, * big pan prospects
ditto. Mr.. Rowland says it is true there is
gold in the district, but from the observa
lions he has been able TO make, he thinks
poor prospectors had better stay away. The
owners of locations say their mines pan out
out big, but Bob says his panning has never
shown such favorable results. At any rate,
he says he has not succeeded in finding as
large pieces as the owners have. The chances
for the prospector he believes to be poor,
Everything has been located for 20 miles
around. Under the laws of the district each
individual locating a placer claim is entitled
to 20 acres. Bob goes on TO say that capital
might do well in some of the quartz lodges,
but it is no place for men of no means. The
people are all poor and there is hardly dol
lar in the camp, and no employment, Mr..
Rowland assures us that he would not
willingly injure the mines of any district by
reporting adversely, but the indications of
grand rush to the new gold fields are SO
apparent that he believes that it would be
wrong not to place poor men in possession of
the real facts of the case. Bob concludes his
letter follows Il just asked a Chinaman
how his claim PANIED out, and he answered,
Nine pan dirt one cent; coarse gold no catch

the same paper Cardinal Manning says that,
" Perhaps, but for what is called the great
Western schism, the word infalibilty might
never have been invented. 1t was an analyt-
zeal expression to account for the stability of
the Roman Faith" He lets US know that
the Council of Trent went so far as to distin-
guish between the See and him that sat in it,
inter sedem ct in ca sedentem. But this
opinion which was strenuously maintained by
certain writer's of the Old Sorbonne has un-
dergone some modification ; and the result
seems to be compromise which renders thfs
distinction between the Chair and the Pope
very difficult of detection. But we are taught
by the Cardinal enough to be appraised that
the question of Just what inia!libiity is, is
still nice point of debate inside as well as
outside the Church We of the worldly mind
can interpret it as meaning the authority of

The following development makes it seem
as if the bankers at whose places of business
Mr. Pinneys paper found such ready
negotiations were his partners in an attempt
not only to defraud the government but to
make Bill Carr pay the shot:
The most remarkable development yet
brought out by the Pinney trial has resulted
from examination of various certificates in the
hands of the defense for the prosecution, the
startling fact appearing that not one of the
twelve certificates deposited by Pinney in the
Masonic Bank, and on which 1926, 800 in gold
was loaned him, is Endorsed by the party in
whose name it was drawn, and is valueless as
collateral to Pinney's note on which it was
given.

THE ISSUE REVIVED.

a special to the Chicago Journal from
Washington says:
On Saturday next the State votes on the
question of calling constitutional conven-
ton to frame a new constitution, on the
ground that the present one does not repre-
sent the will of the majority of the people
and as being made under dictation from
Washington City through military authority;
that it brands the war as a rebellion, insults
the living and dishonors the patriotic dead +;
declares that paramount allegiance is due by
every Georgian to the national government,
while each government is supreme in its
sphere and in perfect harmony. Ben Hill
and the whole Democratic party favor the
change, while the Republicans oppose it.
When the receptive mind of the amiable
patriot who believes in Rutherford the Good
and his policy, comes to have Ben Hill ct al
cram the Calhoun doctrine down his throat
at the point of the bayonet or even at the
end of crooked neck cane, possibly the Ill
terror designs of our deluded Southern
brethren will appear unto him

Senator Jones, if reported correctly in the
following, has reached some unexpected con-
illusions in his researches in money matters.
New York, June 8.-A Washington special
to the Post says: Senator Jones Of Nevada
has drawn up an amendment to the federal
constitution, which he intends to submit to
the Senate at the extra session. 1t provides
that paper money only shall be used as legal
tender in the United States, and that the
issue of such moneys shall be at the rate of
$40 per capita of population, the population
of the country to be ascertained annually by
census. The Senator believes such an
amendment will be popular, and can be
carried through the Legislature of most of the
Western and Southern States He does not
hesitate to say that he wants gold and silver
made commodity, and not standard of
value. The report of the Silver Commission,
which Senator Jones is drawing up, is nearly
completed, but will not be made public until
a short time before the political campaign
opens in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Some of
the paper money men who have seen the
report declare it to be very able document.

the brethren throughout the Great East
In the Silver State for Thursday We find the
following notice:
Bishop Whitaker of the Episcopal Church,
preached in the new church last evening

other denominations to which we are accus-

combating the theory of the present age, that
religion and etfeminacy are synonymous.

A remarkable case OF mistaken identity oc-
Cured in New York lately. A woman col
Jared a man in the street whom she asserted
was her husband, who had deserted her two
years ago. The man emphatically denied the
soft impeachment, and quarrel resulting, the
police arrested both. In Court the woman
proved her charge by two witnesses. The de
PENDANT, on the other hand, proved by his
employer, who had known him for seven
years, that he was not the husband of the
plaintiff, but that he was the husband of
another woman and the father of FIVE chill
dren. The weight of the evidence was so
strongly i'll favor of the defendant that the
Court declared the case one of mistaken iden-
tity, and dismissed it.
