lily had a high day Of rejoicing on last
Sabbath, May 1t was the occasion
Of the dedication of the handsome
new Presbyterian church, In whose
completion the whole community
have just reason for gladnoss Of heart
1t Is q credit to those who have moved
30 herolcally In the noble enterprise.
The building In round numbers is
35x56 feet, made Of wood, resting
upon a substantial stone foundation,
and has a commanding position In
reference to all the country around.
The dedication services we're appoint
ed for IL q. M, and a full hour before
the time the teams could be- seen
coming from all parts of the country
and when IL o'clock was reached the
house, with a sitting capacity Of 300
or more, wau completely packed, and
with rs fine a congregation as you
Will find east or west. Rev. +. s.
Blaney, of Omaha, preached the dedI-
cation sermon from l Cor. 1.2l, TAX.
ing for his subject the grand theme of
"The Crucifiod One" The sermon
was one of great ability and indicates
the growing strength Of the young

years, gave a brief history of the build
ing and stating thopresent financial con-
dition, remarked that about $500 re-
NAMED as a necessary sum to be raised
before the house could be cleared of
debt. At this junoture the matter
was handed over to the synodical mis-
sionary, Rev. Geo. Il. Crissman, of
kearney, who In about fifteen minutes
secured the required amount with
such ease and brevity as to surprise
the people, and the house was then
formally dedicated to the worship of
God free of debt. An excellent choir
was on hand with their part of the
service and added greatly to the I'm.
~pressivaness of the occasion. At $50
p. m, Rev. Geo. 7. Crissman preached
m appropriate ermon from Psalm

Gods VIII.

Gods will is the best. We do not
know what is or will be best for us.
We think we do. We think If we
could only haye our own way we
should be perfectly happy. We think
if we could be rich, or honorable, or
healthy, or learned as others are, how
happy we should be. But he who
sees the end from the beginning, who
knows our present and our future,
knows best and wills best. Some
times it would seem as if he permit
ted us to have our own will and way
for a season, just to show us how
much better it would have been had
we submitted cheerfulIy to his will.
Then the very things which we had
thought were desirable we find are
full of thorns or stings, and often we
are glad to escape from what we had
thought was so desirable. Very many
of us will also remember how we have
longed for certain positions and rela-
tions in life, for the possession of GER
tain things. and how we have lived
long enough already to see that if the
Lord had given US our hearts desire,
it would have made US poor, or mis-
cradle, or wretched. Then, again, we
have been led by Gods providence
into positions or surroundings where
every thing seemed to be against us.
We could not think that this could be
in accordance with the Divine will,
but that there must have been some
mistake, and we, losing sight of Gods
hand, began to find fault with secon-
Diary causes and to complain bitterly
of our lot. How, often, in the end,
we have ascertained to our comfort
and joy that these were just the posi-
tions for us, and that our highest hap
piness was found in them. 1 would
not say that we always see how the
Divine will is, or will be, for the best.
No; we are too blinded; our stand
point is too narrow our faculties are
too limited. But the revelations of
this are so frequent, even to this
world, that we cannot doubt that
"what we know not now we shall
know hereafter" o, when the clear
light of that eternal day breaks over
our souls, then we shall see that "He
hath done all things WE'LL" that his
will was the best !-"Sernao,es ON the
Higher Life," By the ReU. DR.. l.. R.

The PainIessness of Death

AT birth the babe undergoes an Or
deal that, were he conscious, would
be more trying than a most painfnl
death yet he feels it not. Born in
an unconscious state the brain inca
pable OF receiving conscious impress
slons, his entrance into this hitherto
unknown world is Accomplished dur-
ing a state of oblivion, known as pa-
lures an@sthasia:
"Painlessly we come whence We tno,r NH
Painlessly we go, whittier we know not y,
From the earliest period of human
history death has been considered as
necessarily accompanied by pain:
so general is this belief that the
terms "death.agony"" "Iast-struggle.n
"pangs of DEATH" ETC., have been al.
most in almost universal use in every
age and under all conditions of soci.
ETY.. Nothing could be more erro-
neous; the truth is, pain and death
seldom go together-we mean the
last moments of life. Of course,
death may be preceded by weeks or
even months of extreme suffering.
as occurs during certain incurable
diseases.
80 exaggerated has been this notion
that it has been considered an act of
humanity to anticipate the 'death
struggle" by violence for ages it was
customary among the lower classes of
Europe to hasten death by suddenly
Jerking the pillow from beneath the
mead OF the dying, thus throwing the
head backward, straining the pharyn-
geal and thoralc muscles. rendering
the respiration already difficult, short
ly impossible. A Venetian ambas-
sador, in the time of Queen Mary, as
serted that it was a common custom
among the country people to smoth-
er the dying by means of a pillow
placed over the face, upon which
leaned or sat the nearest relative.
This was founded upon the pious be-
lief that a short road was the best
one. This custom was handed down
from generation to generation, par
ents performing 1t for their children,
and 0ace UerSo. But, perhaps, the
saddest privilege ever allowed the
near friends of dying man, occa-
sionally occurred during the reign of
Queen Elizabeth, when through ex-
ecutive clemency-in executions by
hanging-they were permitted to
grasp the feet of the suspended GRIM
inal, and. by clinging to the extrem-
tiles, percipitate their additional
weight on the body, thereby Fiasten--
ing strangulation. It is needless to
say that these theories are false i'm
both conception and practice. Death
Is physiological process, and like
all other animal function, should be
painless. DR.. THos. d. Spencer. in
Popular Science Monthly.
