and Harvey were great doctors, but the
greatest doctor the world ever saw is an
old Christian woman. Dear me. Do We
not remember her about the room when
We were sick in our boyhood? Was
there any one who coHld ever SO touch
q sore without hurting it?
And when she lifted her spectacles
against her wrinkled forehead, SO she
could look closer at the wound, it was
three fourths healed. And when the
Lord took her home, although you may
have been men and women, thirty, forty,
fifty years of age, you lay on the coffin
lid and sobbed as though you were only
i've or ten years of age. o man, praise
God if you have in your memory the
picture of an honest, sympathetic, kind,
self-sacriicing, Christ like mother. Oh,
it takes these people who have had
trouble to comfort others in trouble.
Where did Paul get the ink with which to
write his comforting epistle? Where did
David get the ink to write his comforting
Psalms? Where did John get the ink
to write his comforting Revelation?
They got it out of their own tears.
When q man has gone through the
curriculum, and has taken q course of
dungeons and imprisonments and ship
wrecks he is qualified for the work Of
sympathy.
When I began to preach, my sermons
on the subject of trouble were all poetic
and in semi blank verse; but God
knocked the blank verse out Of me long
ago, and have found out that I cannot
comfort people except as myself have
been troubled. God make me the son
of consolation to the people. I would
rather be the means of soothing one
perturbed spirit to- day, than to play q
tune that would set all the sons of mirth
reeling in the dance. / am Q herb doc

world is brighter than Heaven Well,
dear souls. 1 do not blame you. 1t is
natural. But after a while you will be
ready to 60. 1t was not until Job had
been worn out with bereavement and
carburcles and pest of q wife that he
wanted to see God. 1t was not until the
prodiga, got tired of living among the
hogs that he wanted to GO to his
Fathers rouse. 1t is the ministry of
trouble to make this world worth less
and Heaven worth more.
Again, it IS the use of trouble TO make
as feel our complete dependence upon
God. King A.pnonso said that if he had
been present IT the creation he coufd
have made a Detter world than this.
What pity he vas not present! I do
not know what God will do when some
men die. Men think they can do any
thing until God shows them they can do
nothing at all. We lay our great plans
and We like to execute them. 1t looks
big. God comes and takes us down. As
Prometheus " as assaulted by his enemy,
when the lance struck him it opened a
gieat swelling that had threatened his
death. and he got we'll. So it is the ar
row Of trouble that lets out great SWELL

pendence upon God until get trouble.

The Event of the Season.

Edwin Barbour and his excellent com
paly will visit Austin Saturday, May IL
Mr. Barbour needs no recommendation
to our theatre going people, He certain
ly ranks among the leading comedians
and character actors of the day. A legal
Document, according to the numerous
press notices that have come under our
observation, is a comedy illustrative of
modern life. and written to make people
laugh. The plot is an original one. The
heroine learns that the man she loves has
beon false to her and has married an
other. she then vows in spirit of pique
to marry the first man she meets. The
real comedy, however,. is the marriage
difficulties of another pair, a lawyer and
housekeeper. A notorious Foxglove,
attorney at law. is employed by Ruth
Tempertop's housekeeper, Durepty Pod
snap, to make an abstract of her will
She wills various sums to different char
table institutions, $50, 1000 to the Japan
ese and 100000 to all the foreign mis-
slons, h. Six months after marriage he dis.
covers that his wife hasn't dollar. Bills
commence coming in and creditors get
lmpudent. Imagine the old lawyers po
sit1on. He marries her for her money
and gets left. They strike up bargain
that they will be all and all and honey
and pie to each other when there's any
third partv looking on, but they will re-
serve the right to most cordially and fer
ventlys despise each other in private.
There is no doubt but many homes are
cursed with such domestic strife as is
represented in Edwin Barbours Legal
Document" The leading papers in all
the cities the company has appeared, all
speak of the comedy and the company in
the highest terms. So the people of Aus
tin should not miss the opportunity of
seeing one of the best entertainments of
the season. The admission will be 35
cents; reserved seats, so cents; children,
Is cents.

GENTLEMEN: It is with pleasure that

ty and request of the executive commit
tee and in accordance with instructions
from the State Alliance at It's annual

methods. .-similar in character to those
successfully conducted by our fellow
workmen in other localities, and that
have exercised a benefcent effect in re-
plenish1Ig and strengthening their organ
ization, We look hopefully forward to
the day when our Alliance, grown strong
and united, shall manage and control
all lines Of business connected with their
interests. We should and must control
our own harvester and twine factories,
Touring mills, elevators, packing houses
and stock yards, commission houses,
transportation lines, insurance, etc.
While we can't expect to do all these
at once,-a beginning must be made-we
select one of the most important and at
the same time most easily managed lines,
to start with. We ask your careful con-
sideration of the plans herwith presented,
believing them to be safe, practicable and
economical. The company have been
regularly entered and Incorporated under

ton. 1t is in no sense intended as a
money making institution, but will be

members. In Dakota similar depart.
ment has been in very seccessful opera

of money and been an important factor
in building up and solidifying the alli-
ance. We expect and earnestly request
our agents to organize alliances wherever
needed, and to endeavOr to revive inter-
est in those that have become Indifferent,
as it is only through the means OF an &C.
tive interest in alliance work, that we can
expect success in our Insurance. Our aim
will be to give reliable protection, honor
able adjustment, and prompt payments.

resting calmly in his faith, because
resting upon solid evidence, may re-
greet that others cannot be brought to
hold the same view, but he will read
lily concede to them the same right
which he has claimed and exercised
for himself. He has no need to re-
sort to ungenerous charges to sustain
his faith. He is willing to have the
truth canvassed and stand or fall up
on its own merits. He will surely
contend earnestly for the faith-and
If that is liberal, he must bear the
charge-but he will have the largest
charity for those who meet him in
the contest.
This is no theory. The defenders
of the faith have always been the
most liberal-minded men. Milton
could denounce with sufficient bitter
ness surely those who did not agree
with him, but it was Milton who
wrote "The Liberty of Unlicensed
Printing" The Apostle Paul was a
vigorous and stalwart defender of
the truth. Those who met him felt
the keenness and weight of his blows,
but Paul's heart was ali aglow with
the most intense love for those who
would not believe. One greater far
than Paul, even Christ himself, sets
forth the truth with the greatest dis
tinctness, the clearest and most def
mite forms, and yet with the broadest
and tenderest charity towards those
who rejected his claims. The clear
ness, the certainty, the strength of his
convictions, give him his broad
minded charity, and it may safely
be assumed that those who love the
truth, and hold it most tenaciously in
the very form in which he gives it,
will have in the largest measure his
temper and spirit. We claim with
all confidence, and the experience Of
every one who reads will justify the
claim, that these terms, liberality
charity, breadth of views, freedom O
thought, are as applicable in any true
sense to those who walk in the com
mon faith and practice Of the church
as to those who plume themselve'
upon their departure from it, anC
who measure their "liberality" by
the extent to which they have carried
their departure.

A Whole Man.

Golden Rule.
The old Romans had more than
one favorite proverb which expressed
their regard for the complete, we'll
rounded man. How many people
there are to whom no such phrase
would apply. They have their
strong points, but they are not COM
plete, symmetrical men. The whole
man is not there. I1H
There, for instance, is man Of
keen mind; his intellect is like a
Damascus blade, but his moral sense
is not keenly developed. He is only
part of man. Here is another with
splendid physique I! He can walk
more miles around a sawdust truck
than any man in the country. But
he has no moral earnestness or intel
lectual vigor. He is only fraction
of a man. Here is still another who
has had a splendid education. AS
far as money can furnish him for his
life work, he is furnished. All that
books can teach and the brain can
hold is his; but now that he has it
he knows not what to do with his
mental furnishing. He becomes a
dilettante, a trifier, a cynical critic Of
others; he has no honest, earnest
purpose in life. He is not q whole
man.
But here is still another man, of
moderate ability, of small wealth, of
few school-days; but there is some
thing about the very atmosphere in
which he lives that indicates that we
are in the preseAce of a whole man.
The warn. grasp Of the hand shows
that he is earnest in his friendships.
We cannot be with him ten minutes
without hearing some remark which
tells us that he has a great and con-
trolling purpose in life, an object to
gain that is worthy of a whole man.
The moral earnestness makes the
man whole; the whole man carries
out the earnest purpose. No man
without a large, controlling, over
mastering purpose can be great. The
greater the purpose of his life, the
greater the man. Now we can under.
stand how the weak, stumbling
Christian, growing up into the like
ness Of Christ, can at last become q
king and priest unto God. This king
and priest is but the whole man
taken one step further and giver
time enough to grow.
