There is, perhaps. no sin which is
so universally INDUCED in as the sin
of lying. There may be. and doubt
less are, a great many people who
habitually exaggerate. without in
tending to lie. There are others who
indulge in what they are pleased to
term white lies. There are others
still who contend that prevarication.
white lies, exaggeration, or, in fact, a
lie straight out is no harm unless
there be present the intention to do
harm. 1t will be apparent from
very slight examination of the SUBJ
ject that those who entertain and act
upon such notions are making fear
full mistake. 1t must be borne in
mind that truth and lie are terms,
each of which is exactly the opposite
Of the other. In every utterance we
use one or the other of these terms.
There is no half way expression.
There is no middle ground. What
ever we say must be absolutely true
or else it will be lie. 1t will not do
to say although what said was un-
true, still it did no harm" Neither
can we silence our cOnsciences nor ap-
pease the wrath of Almighty God by
saying we intended no harm. The
question of inten ion has nothing
to do with the matter. The ques-
tion is. do we speak the truth /? Are
we truthful, not only in business, but
in ordinary conversation? Let Us
ask ourselves this question and let
our hearts answer to. God.
There fare great many people,
especially young persons, who en-
tertain the notion that il is a
greater sin in the sight of God to tell
big lie, or an outrageous falsehood,
which makes mischief or'injurionsIy
affects others, than it is to tell nice
little white lie which does not stir I'D
any strife. This. too, is a great mis-
take. Lies and liars are not graded
in the word of God. "AlI liars shall
have their part in the lake which
burneth with fire and birthstone" is
the language of Revelation. Not all
big liars, not those persons who lie to
make mischief, nor those who lie in
business to make money, not any
particular class of liars, but alt liars
shall haye their part in the lake which
burneth with fire and birthstone.
Again, listen to Revelation: "And
there shall in nowise enter into II (the
new Jerusalem) anything that de-
tileth, neither whatsoever worketh
ahomination or mdketh a ie." Read
er, do you believe the word of Godo
If you do, then you are convinced
that the sin of lying will be punished
with the most terrible consequences
Imaginable. The punishment cannot
be evaded by lying in the day of final
reckoning. "The mouth of them that
speak lies shall be stopped" "He
that speaketh lies shall not escape.n
"He that speaketh lies shall perish.n
Refiecting. then, upon the terrible
character of the punishment. coupled
with the fact tiat there is no escape
from it, but that it will he certainly
meted out to those who persist in this
awful sin, Is it not important that we
he guarded in what we say? Let w
speak the truth, the whole truth. and
nothing but the truth. MAY the
words of our mouths, and the medi-
tations of our hearts be acceptable i'm
thy sight. o God, our strength and
our Redeemer."

YELLOW JACK.
It Prevails at Biloxi, Miss, Beyond a
Doubt.
AhA Entire southern Coast Quarantined
Against the Invasion of the
Dread Scourge.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. lS.-There is now no
longer any doubt that the disease prevail
ing ut Biloxi Miss., is genuine yellow fever.
Inc matter has been in doubt for some
tlme, but was definitely settled tonight.
when the fever made its first appearance
III Biloxi, in August there was a wide
difference of opinion between the doctors
as to the character of the disease. All the
local and some few of the New Orleans
physicians over-presisting that it was
simply malignant malaral fever. The
disease broke out again this month, and it
has lately assumed a very severe form In
population under three thousand no
less than three hundred were
taken down by it and twenty died. there
being forty sick to-day and new cases oc-
curing daily, These facts, however, were
kept secret in Biloxi, and only leaked out
Sunday. Even then the difference of opin-
ION as to the character of the sickness
arose, and some of the Biloxi physicians
still persisted in the malaria fever theory
Tonight, however the matter was settled
thorough and careful examination of the
sim was hluuc ny III. A. I.Nnamplln, OF the
Mississippi State Board of Health, and Dr.
Harry, President of the Harrison County
Board, and both declared it genuine fever
beyond doubt possessing every character
istlc of that disease, Their opinion carries
all the more weight because until lately
both these physicians were inclined to
think that it was malarial fever and are
compelled to acknowledge the error
OF their previous diagnosis Con
siderable indignation exists along
the entire Gulf coast against Bill
oxi for having concealed the fever
as it did, Quarantines are pouring in
against it from all quarters, and every
town in the section has quarantined, even
Ocean Springs, only two miles distant,
which has resorted to shotgun protection
against any person coming from Biloxi.
The Louisville and Nashville railroad no
longer stops its trains there, and the town
iscomp'etely is cut off from the world. There
is no fear whatever on the Coast as it is
too late for any fever

Remarkable piocOn-Flyinr

WHEELING, W Va, Oct. lS-Last week
Michael Freismuth, of this city, pigeon
fancier sent two homing pigeons to Wich-
ita, Kan, to test their qualities. They We're
released Saturday morning, and one ar
rived this afternoon in fifty three hours and
forty one minutes from the time of release
The distance in an air line is estimated
to be l,2O0 miles. The actual flying time
is supposed to be about twenty-four hours,
the bird having done fifty miles per hour
while on the wing. This record is one of the
best ever made. An offer of 500 for the
bird has been refused. Great interest was
taken in the event, and considerable money
changed hands. The bird is one and one
