Faith Must Be for Every Day.

God is one; Gods works and ways
are one. His laws for earth are in the
same statute book as those for Heaven
The natural, as God made it, is not in
conflict with the spiritual.s The line
between things secular and sacred is inn
aginary and mischievous. We believe
God for time rs well as for eternity, ion
earth as well as for Heaven. for the
body as well as for the soul. Far be it
from any honest man to confine his
faith in God to certain mysterious and
impalpable concerns, and doubt Him
when it comes to immediate business,
and the trials of every day life. We
are taught by our great Master to pray
to the Heavenly Father: ..Thy King

tsludes the petition: ..Give us this day

is little? What is trifling? There exists
no such thing to a wise man anxious to
be always right. No, we must Save a

Philip left the house, toward the mo-

SO eagerly, and for such long and weary
weeks, and passed out into the street
again. Dnring the ten minutes or
quarter of an hour VIII CHI had elapsed
since he had driven up 10 the door, no
great CONFUSION of nature had taken
place. it likely that anything of
the kind should have occurred9 And
yet it seemed to Philip, and no doubt
would have SO seemed to nine men out
of ten in his position, amazing that
everything should look just as it had
done before-the sun still sh;n ming with
April brightness-the people Quietly
passing up and down the familiar street,;

realize what had happened get; bat3tS
knew there was some horrible calamity
in the ID stance which hung over him
and oppressed him like distant thun-

Tile Flames in the Forests.

RALEIGH, N. c., April 4.-For three
days and nights the most destructive fire
ever known in this section has been de-
vastating the Southern border of the
State, extending in six or seven Coun-
ties. Vast forests of long leaf pine have
been attacked. They formed the chief
source of the timber supply. The high
winds famed the flames into fury, and
hundreds of thousands of trees were
burned, and some of the largest turpen.
tine orchards in the State have been
ruined. Many farm houses have been
destroyed. The people have been brave.
ly fighting the fire. A number of towns
narrowly escaped destruction. At Men
ly, on the Raleigh and Augusta Railway
a number of houses were burned. Large
stores of lumber stills on the line Of road
we're also destroyed and dozen turpen-
time distilleries are ruined. The coun-
try in great stretches is but blackened
wilderness. The extent of the disaster
is not yet known. Many families are
homeless. The fire has swept here and
there some fifty miles in one direction
and thirty in another. Few places, it is
reported, escaped. The fires were caused
by burning brush. The fires extended
far into South Carolina. On the line of
:he Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad the trains have been running
through miles of fire. Two dwellings
and eight or ten barns have been burned
in that district. So far as known no lives
have been lost.
