Even i'll worldly affairs, the person
who is faithful in few things, occa-
sionally is made the ruler over many
things. Yet the man who is true
to his trust, in business life, proves
his honesty and reliability merely
along certain well understood lines of
activity, wherein rewards and pun
ishments are within easy reach and
application. He is in the realm of
sense, and material realities are the
things of which he takes account.
The faithfulness which BELTS a Chris
tian includes all this and much more.
1t is of finer quality and reaches out
into the spiritual realm. Faith takes
hold of things unseen and makes
them verities. So this faithfulness
touches the motives and musings of
the inward man, and keeps the soul
loyal in matters quite beyond sense

the spirit of faithfulness to all known
duties, which goes with and confirms
his professions of faith in our Lord
and saviour, we may fairly presume
that, in the domain of spiritual life
beyond our ken, there is the same
faithfulness, and the same fellowship,
by faith, with Christ.
In Holy Writ it is recorded that
men of faith in olden times accoms
plished wonders. The present age
likewise affords innumerable exam
piles of the power of a vital, working
faith, as exhibited in daily faithful-
ness. Let us look oftener for these
examples, study them more eagerly,
and try to catch their full spiritual
significance, to the end that we may
realize in our own lives both the eff
cheney and the blessedness of "the
faith that makes faithful"

National Democrat.
Blaine's reciprocity proposition
continues to receive the praise of all
the Republicans who are dissatisfied
with the Mckinley bill. The news
papers are full of stories about the
President having declared himself
in favor of it, but we don't believe he
will be heard from on the subject.
Probably some kind of paragraph
will be attached to the Mckinley bill
for the purpose of deluding the Wes-
tern Republicans who are opposing
the bill. We take little stock in any
of the sly Mr.. Blaine's political di-
versions. The leaders of The party in
Congress set out to pass prohibitory
tariff bill and they are going to do it.

vast possibilities, under the same dis
pensation, having the same large
promises of holy companionship and

V. Obedience is set forth as the
badge of discipleship. Obedience is
the sure test of love. If we love we
obey. Do we desire to prove our
love and gratitude to God? He has
made the way plain. "If We loveme
keep my commandments" Disobe-
dience shuts out Gods presence.
Unless we do his will he cannot make

vi. The great bequest. The peace
which Christ brought into the world,
which dwelt in him, and was pecu-
liarly his C"my") peace, he bequeath-
ed to his disciples. Riches or earthly
honors would profit them nothing in
the time of trouble but with the
peace of God in their hearts, they
were rich to all eternity. All believ-
ers may possess this peace. 1t is
Christ's special gift, and must be
sought from him.

Compensation.

News came that baby had been
born in the Nelson household, dear
little girl, with blue eyes, but alas!

to her room without a word, and
the young aunts busted themselves
with their work, looking suspicious
ly moist about the eyes. That night,
however, Edith Lee came limping in
with her two crutches, and was told
all about if, because she was the
dear family friend and knew all the

"And you feel dreadfully about it,
dont's you?" asked she, patting one
of grandma's withered hands.

we help it?"
"She will suffer so!' ut will be
so hard for her when she grows up!"
said the aunts mournfully.
"Now, my dears, just listen to me-"
said cheerful Edith. "She will be
sorry, and sometimes mortified, when
she remembers she's not like other
people, but she will have a great
many compensations."

Items of the tenor of the above dis

County Fair Notes from the Secretary.
The executive committee of the JEFF
ferson county fair met in the city last
Friday and again on Tuesday, and they
probably took the most important step
for the improvement Of the fair since
the ground was purchased. At the
meeting on Tuesday, two acres of land
adjoining the north side of the fair
grounds, owned by Orrin Henry, we're
purchased for a consideration of $500.
1t is proposed to make the track full
half mile lit is now some yards short)
and to put up new barns for horses.
This will also give room where we have
always badly needed it, as the north
side Of the track runs nearly to the
fence. tbs an improvement long need
ed and we are pleased to see it effected,
and horsemen will hail it with delight.
A baseball tournament will be one of
the attractions at the coming county
fair. The matter of arranging the same
is left in the hands of the secretary, but
if four clubs can be secured a purs of
$3.50 will be offered, and if only three
clubs then the purse will be $1OO. Judg-
ing by the interest taken in baseball
this season, this will be drawing at
raction.-Jefersora Banner.
