ing and expected to Recover.
 The case of Mir. Fred Beecher of Bethany, who was so terribly gored by bull about three weeks ago, is 8 notable one. When found and examined by the physicians his condition was most deplorable, he having been gored and torn so Shat his entrails were visible, and he had been trampled upon by the infuriated animal and dragged about. His recovery seemed almost impossible. Mir. Beecber lay in stupor for many hours and dreadfully weak owing to the loss of blood, and for many days his life hung in the bal ance. Despite all, however, Mir. Beecher has rallied and is very slowly but surely improv- ing, and his recovery is well nigh assured, although, owing to the terrible injuries he received, he will hardly be as strong and well man again as he was before the affair.

1t is seen blazing through his life as
the light in the midnight lantern and
he is just ~ sure to represent by his
actions and deeds the ideal within
his soul, as the light does the quali>
ty of the oil In the lantern.
What should your ideal be? The
very best thing that can be reached.
The verv best thing that is capable
of being performed. The best things
that can he made Of this life. AS
ne have before said this is hard
age to maintain a good ideal, but we
all should strive to erect as high
ideals as practableness will permit.
There is nothing unreal in an ideal
based upon common sense.
You can never rise higher than
your ideal. If you are q painter and
have poor ideal of the art, your
pictures will be cartoons on your
ideal. So it is with everything you
DO. Do not aim low in doing any
thing that is worthy to be done. Try
to make the best of everything your
hand fndeth to do. If nothing else,
it will bring out the best that is
within you, your noblest thoughts,
your interest energy. and you will
keep company at all times with a
most peaceful and pleasant con-
science. The best words that can
be said of any man, is that he has
done his best. That is initiating
God with all your might.-Sanford
