POOR PROSPECTS FOB BUSINESS

OF the Outlook.
Joshua Rhodes, of the Pennsylvania Tube
Works, went to New York last evening.
He takes very gloomy view Of the outlook
for trade. He says the i,>A business was
never so dull in its history. 81 don't see
any prospects of improvement, either" he
continued. ''The pipe trade is very slow,
indeed. The failure of natural gas has
knocked the manufacturers out of great
deal of business. When the main lines
were laid, there was great demand for
pipe. The manufacturers increased the
capacity of their plants and new mills were
started. The result has been over produc-
tion and low prices. We fell into a trap
from which we can't e1tricate ourselves at
present.
'If there is anything in Pittsburg that
has fictitious value, it is real estate. The
assessors must have lost their heads to push
up the valuations on property. Real estate
is rated entirely too high The town is de-
pendent on its industries, and when trade is
dull we are sure to feel it. The banking
business doesn't amount to anything in COM
parison with the financial eenters

NEW CASTLE, Feb 1.-[SpeciaL ]-Eigh-
teen months ago John Matreson, in Donegal
township, Butler county, read an account
of how some man had become well-to-do by
letting his wife act as barkeeper for him.
He made up his mind to give the plan
trial, and he purchased keg of whisky.
His wife sold him the liquor by the drink,
charging him Is cents glass. John was
heavy drinker, and the bank account began
to grow. This went along for some time
until Mr.. and Mrs. Matreson had quarrel
and separated.
This morning John went to Justice of
the Peace in Donegal township, and wanted
to make an information against his wife for
furnishing liquor to a man of known intem-
perate habits, also on Sunday and without
q license. The Justice refused to take the
information until he could consult attor-
news.

THE FAITH CURE CRAZE.

It may be unnecessary to reply to the last part of "Bee Buzz" under the above title in your issue of November IS, but l do wish to say that it is not we'll for any one to write about subject they do not understand. It may be we'll to look at both sides of the question.
 Two cases only have come to the mo- tice of the Bee Buzz, who felt led to put themselves fully in the Lords hands for healing, but their faith did not avail" How many put themselves fully in the doctors hands and fail?
 Still, thank God for doctors and rem edies, for they are the extent or end of faith or trust of most of the world.
 Alas they do not know God well enough to trust him.
 Where there is no spirituality, spirit ual things cannot be discerned. The many promises in Gods word are all conditional, either stated plainly or im- piled, and they are especially for those who believe with all the heart.
 In these days when even God answers prayer by receiving one person sinking with disease, or steamer laden with passengers in a sinking condition in mid ocean, the tendency is to find something, or some one besides God, to give the glory to.
 We cannot tell in these two cases wherein they failed to comply with the conditions, whether they asked for heal ing from selfish motives, or for the glory of God, and to live for His service alone. God alone knoweth the heart.
 It is a very easy matter to believe in Di- vine healing, and that He who clothes the lily and feeds the raven cares for our body, and also easy to believe that AL mighty God has provided for mankind Perfect Saviour, who has made a com plete sacrifice of himself for all our sins. "Who bore our sins in his own body on the tree and by His stripes we are heal cd"
 But it is quite another and to most people difficult matter to get into that complete submission of will, to Gods will, that brings us into line and touch with Him so that we are able to appropri- ate the promises contained in His Holy Word for our personal needs, in other words just take His gifts for ourselves.
 While we persist in remaining in the valley of human wisdom, surrounded by the hills of doubt and unbelief, our vis- ion is limited, but when we ascend the eminence of Gods Word and Truth our viaipu nInoror
 St Paul tells us about "being dead unto sin, but alive unto God, etc." To my mind that implies the death of self, the giving up of weak mind, and faith love, etc., and letting the Holy Spirit ot Christ come into our hearts to abide bringing in His own mind, faith, etc Then we can understand Christ's ex pression If ye abide in me and my words Cor D abide in you ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you"
 am reminded that our Lord made of himself no (human) reputation" while on earth, and St Paul says ''he was willing to be called fool for Christ's sake" l am content to be classed in that company and confess that am just sim pie enough to believe Gods Word and strive to obey it.-[ l..
