WHERE MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH SHALL
BE REQUIRED.

WHERE MUCH is GIVEN, MI OH SHALL
BE REQUIRED.
To live without personal wrongdo-
ing is duty, and being duty it is
possible to achieve it. The better part
of the community live without falling
into the more obvious and gros,er sins.
Men and women attain a plane of life
wherein they do not steal, or cheat, or
lie, or give way 10 sins of appetite.
What they do give way TO in the line
of error, is apt to be faults of temper
and sins of omission rather than of
commission. They are not living on
that grosser plane wherein they are
tempted to do evil to their neigh Dor,
but they still lack moral enthusiasm to
a degree that leads them t. ignore the
active good they might do. Their sirs
are not positive but negative. They
have attained a height from which
perhaps they do few of the things
which they ought not to have done.
Now this, too, can be overcome. ITO
err is inhuman," land ODE holy is to
live in the straight line of duty and Of
truth" It is just as much the abs =
lutte duty of those whose lives are far
removed from the grosser sins to also
overcome petty faults and errors and
negative phases Of wrong, as it is for
the criminal classes to overcome their
greater aud grosser temptations. The
IL l.. II ,f1f
ard social state has its obligations to
higher truth and to absolute holiness
Of personal life. There is far less eX-
cuse for defects than in the lives # pow
erty and ignorance and repression, and
lack IF all finer and more stimulating
influences. Where much is given,
much shall be required. There are
never privileges to enjoy without cor
responding duties to fulfill i'll return.
1t is undoubtedly true that there are
spiritual as well as physical laws, ..and
that when one lives high enough to be
in the current of their forces, to be sub
ject to them, he receives tie benefit,
as the ship that enters tie circuit OF
trade winds is propelled by them. Our
lives are enlarged by entering into
other lives; they are exalted by giving
themselves with absolute loyalty and
self-sacritice To higher purposes, and 10y
recognizing and approaching all that
is truest and best ia general life, not
that which we personally achieve, but
that which is still higher than our owl
poor achievements. That which we
can enter with appreciation and SYM
patty becomes most truly our own

In one town the Crusaders made a
call upon all old German saloonist,
taking the precaution quietly to send
squad of their force to the rear OF

glimpse of the approaching band in
front, and hastily threw up back
window and Ieaped out, leaving the
field to his son and the Crusaders,
when 10. he found himself in the midst
of the rear guard. By this time the

Scarlet Fever Prevnlent

Scarlet fever is now prevalent in tn,
Twelfth ward. The dread disease first
appeared about two weeks ago, when one
of the children of the vicinity was seized
with symptoms of it. A physician was
summoned and the child recovered, but
the disease had taken hold and it spread
among other families. Four children In
one family were attached successfully by
the disease, but after hard struggle al
of them survived. One of the citizens OF
that ward living in the vicinity of the
Ford Morocco Manufacturing Company &
shop, says that much of the disease Is
probably caused by the germs of the dis
ease being generated in the pools OF
stagnant water near this place. A large
number Of the children of the neighbor
hood have been attacked with the disease
but no deaths have yet been reported,
though several serious cases are being
attended by physicians.

COOL SPRING PARK.
The Beautiful Resting Place Made by the
water Commissioners.


The Cool Spring Reservoir Park is now
about completed and is without exception
! the prettiest park in the city. IL is to
the east of the old basin on Tenth street
below Harrison. The grounds occupy
about two squares In all.
The park has been laid out under the
direction of skillful landscape gardeners
and its appearance does credit to their
ability.
Trees have been planted all along the
outskirts of the park and beautiful drive.
ways have been constructed through ii
In all directions, Along these driveways
trees have also been planted These
roads are constructed hard and solid and
wind In and out through the grounds in
beautiful curves.
In the centre of the grounds is large
lake. This is filed with fresh water
directly from the reservoir above and
the surplus water runs through other
pipes into three smaller lakes, which are
so arranged as to form a shamrock
shaped mass of water.
In these lakes the fish breeding plant
is partly established. and the beautiful
iinny creatures disport themselves in the
water, furnishing an inexhaustible
source of amusement for the women and
children visitors to the park.
The shade trees have not yet grown to
size sufficient to give any degree of
shade, but in few years they will give
abundant shade and the park will be
delightful resting place for the inhabi-
tants Of that locality.
The lawn in the park is kept in excel
lent condition and much better than that
Of any other park, public or private in
the city or vicinity. The Board of Water
Commissioners to whom the work of
building the park is due, have made an
excellent pleasure ground and the citi-
zens of that locality will show their sp-
probation of the work by using it in the
best manner possible. The pipes which
convey the water to the lakes will make
an excellent drinking fountain and cup
will be attached for use by thirsty pedes-
trians.
AS soon as the work has been entirely
completed. seats will be placed in the
park and the tired psssers. by can set
down and rest amid pleasant surround
ings.
