VISITING D1v1NEs.
Two Able sermons at the Baptist
Church Last Sunday.

At the Baptist church on Sunday morn
ing last Rev.sDr. T. r. Palmer, of Boulder.
delivered powerful sermon. The cadet,
of the military college turned out in full
uniform, and the auditorium was we'll
filed. This able divine, who is general
superintendent of Baptist missions for
the Rocky Mountain district, based his re-
marks on Hebrews VII 25. He sometimes
thought it strange that we need an inter
cessor. The reason, however, is that we
are all sinners by nature as well as by prac-
tice, and it's only through an intercessor
that we can be forgiven. The plan of the
Jewish religion is the same. Their high
priest stood between the church and God!
So Christ, our High Priest, ever stands be-
fore the throne, pleading for fallen man.
And attention was called to the fact that
He is the only one by whom we can be
saved. He loves us; He knows our weak
nesses; feels our temptations, sorrows, and
trials; because He has experienced mans es-
tate in every phase, save in the matter of
sin. Christ's life was representative one,
and stands out as such in both sacred and
profane history. As our intercessor He pos
sesses peculiar advantages through His ex-
perimental knowledge of man; and,
through His divine nature, He knows the
Judge before whom we are to be tried His
plea is all sufficient, for His life has paid
the ransom for us, and His grace and inter
cessions are able to save to the utern,ost
No man can be too vile to accept Him, and
be saved through His blood. The salvation
He promises is sure but must be accepted
before we die. Are you trusting to-day in
the intercessions of that Christ If not,
let me beseech you most earnestly to rest
not until you shall have done so and re-
ceived the promise of eternal life.
In the evening Rev. L. M. Whiting,
Of. Saguache, delivered discourse from
Timothy vI:6 on the Gain of Godliness, {,
He read Matthew XIII, beginning ot the
44th verse, and said the field and the royal
pearl represented godliness. To some god
illness was temporal, physical gain, as well
as spiritual. To all it furnished means for
education, rcspectability, and other pecu-
MARY blessings but this is not the gain OF
which the apostle speaks. He meant the
precious gain it brings to the soul; the
wealth of experience; the peace and hap
piness that gold cannot buy. He contrast
ed stock in Heavenly hopes with stock in
mines. Heartily wealth must be left be-
hind when we die; but claim up there
will pay dividends forever. One leaves all
at death, the other takes all with him
Now, the question arises is this true ?
If SO, why are not all Christians? Why
are not more Heavenly claims worked ?
God is not beyond your reach. Give up
your sins, the fear of man, accept and
test the truth of His promises. His GER
tificates of stock are already made out
Godliness is profitable unto all things, ,
says the Word of Truth. May God bring
our hearts to realize the wealth, the peace,
the happiness, the gain of godliness. A
gain through life, and a glorious fruition
in the world to come

ALMOST DROWNED.
Heroic Rescue by Truly Brave and
Noble Woman.
How Little johnnie Wade Was Saved
from a Watery Grave.

An accident occurred in this city on
Tuesday last, which, but for the heroism
and presence of mind of a hard-working
woman, would certainly have resulted in
the death of one the brightest and hand
soonest little boys of our town. The son of
DIR. and Mrs. J. b. Wade, aged years,
while playing on the big ditch crossing,
near r. A. Johnson's residence, on Fourth
street, south of Harrison avenue, slipped
and fell into the water. His clothing and
shoes being very heavy, he sank to the bot
tom almost Immediately, and foated down
with the current. The little boys who were
playing with him gave the alarm, which
brought a number of women to the scene
of the accident but, as the child was un-
der water, none of them knew where to
jump into the ditch to save him. Mrs. w.
ii. Long, who lives about 100 feet below
where the accident occurred heard the
women screaming, and running to her back
door, which is within n few feet of the
ditch, saw the body floating down some dis
tance below her, with only one hand above
the water. Quick as thought Mrs. Long
sprang into the ditch, rescued the little fell
low, and, as soon as she could get out O:
the water, held him by both feet, with his
head down, shaking the water from his
mouth in large quantities. After this opera
tion his rescuer held the child in her arms,
with his head down, and hugged him as
tightly as she dared, thus bringing con-
siderable more water from him. When
brought into the house he was stiff and un-
conscious; but DR.. Blake, who lives in the
next house to where the accident occurred,
worked with the body until life began to
show itself. Although the subject of this
sketch had the whooping cough at the time
of the accident, he seems to have received
no permanent injuries, and is as bright as
ever. Mrs. Long, whose prompt and heroic
conduct, saved the life of this little child, is
poor Woodworking woman, whose worth
less husband left her with large family
of helpless children, and who has worked
late and early by washing, to support them
and send them to school. 1t has been a
hard struggle with this widow to earn
enough to meet expenses; but the liberality
of the oveTioyed parents at the rescue of
their only son has placed Mrs. Long beyond
present want, and we prophesy that wo-
man with such noble heart will never
again want for a days work or a dollar
with which to buy groceries or pay rent.
