A Truly Sincere Person.
ChriStian Standard,


What far-reaching word is ''sincere."
1t is composed of two Latin words, sine and
cera, meaning without wax" Ike allusiOn
is to transparent honey cleared Of its WAX.
Do those who claim to he sincere remember
that sincerity involves transparency of
character and conduct: A truly sincere
person abstains from all appearance of evil.
He does not say: MY heart does not con-
denim me-" when he knows that appear
ances are against him, and that private and
public opinion is censuring him. a really
sincere man provides things honest in the
sight of all men" His transparent char
acter and conduct will bear rigid investi-
cation. His life is clear from ali doubtful
matters. If he errs at all in this matter it
is through involuntary ignorance. His eye
is single to Gods glory. He is free from
eye-scrvice as a man-pleaser. Hedoes as
good work when he is not watched as when
he is. He is as faithful when alone as when
under the eye of criticism. His motive in
all things is pure. He can not allow him

far-reaching is this word sincere" that in

A Look Mt the Good Old Sovereign of the
British Isles.
/ saw the Queen in Edinburgh She is
fat, stout old woman. with rosy face
and dark gray hair. Her features are
more German than English, and they
look very inoffensiye and uncharacter-
istic. She is probably woman OF great
intellectual strength and of queenls
thought; but. as to appearance. you
may see better faces at any reception in
America. or in any days shopping. she
was on her way to the exposition, and
the streets of Edinburgh were cleared
of carriages and street cars during her
march. Plank fences had been erected
outside of the pavements to keep back
the crowd, and hundreds of policemen,
soldiers and marshals were present to
edge the divinity VIII Oh surrounds the
Queen. The sidewalks along the line of
march swarmei with people, and the
scene reminded me much of great pro-
cesSion in America. When the Queen left
Holyrood Palace, which is in the city of
Edinburgh, the cannon on the castle
began to boom. and the march was
made 10 this and the music of the band.
The enthusiasm of the people was not
great, and the cheer as she passed along
was not equal to that of an Amer can

and behind her. As the carriage passed
along, the three women, the one old
and the others middle-aged and youn-
ger, kept continuously bobbing their
heads in bowling response to the cheers
of the crowd. The whole scene was
ridiculous one. and the little soul ex-
hibited in it shows how fast the mon
archical system is on the wane, and how
little the Scotch and English care for it

Bear Thy Burden Bravely.

If thou hast skeleton in the cupboard,

burden braveiy and silently, or, better still,
cast it on the broad shoulders of the AL

by the cruel hand Of adversely, be still and

time to find il out now. Under the fury OF
the storm the vessel goes down, with 80
passengers, to a watery grave. The time

Alas for us, if we wait until our children

The Railroad Rumbler of the Dallas
News, speaks of the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass Railroad as follows: The
San Antonio people concluded several
months ago that they were being cut of
in the west, and that If San Antonio
wished to preserve its prestige for size,
etc, IL should do something in the way
Of bringing another railroad to the city
or building one away from the city.
Down into their pockets they went, and
when they came up out OF them again,
they had determined to build road to
Arkansas Pass. There was no dilly-dal-
lying about the matter. They had de-
liberately resolved that the road must
be built and they went to work to build
il. 1t has not been much longer than
ak months ago since the San Antonio
people expressed this determination,
and on the TIN, last Thursday, passen-
ger train from San Antonio rolled into
FloresvIlle, a distance Of SO miles from
the former town. There is not much
news to North Texas In this. but the
Rumbler gives it rs an instance Of pluck
and energy, not meaning TO make COM
parsons that would shock or disturb the
eaanimity and self-satisfied positions Of
anybody. and further to pay proper
compliment to people Of remarkably
level heads"

The said discovery caused not the

cause them either TO return or stop

to be blamed for that. for who would
want to go TO Il place for their health
in which the smallpox was a raging

not epidemic, nor ever will be in San
