1t is little difficult to fully describe
what tTae iCisd0m is and yet it is posi-
bic to give such a definition as is
sufficient for all practical purposes.
Every rational creature has the faculty
given him Of growing or of becoming
wise, although in different degrees. If
it be not availed of to the best alvan-
tage, it is largely the fault of man him.
self in not improving his time, his OBJ
servatious, his experience, and other
faculties Usually we make ''no note
OF time save@by its flight 1t is then
too late to recall it. When we speak
of the faculty of becoming wiser we do
not mean the mental power and ability
to reason about truth and goodness
from our knowledge of the sciences
and arts, bnt to the faculty of discern
ing what is true-of selecting what is
suitable to our respective conditions
and of applying them to the various
and multiplied uses of life and of re-
jeeting what is wrong or injurious.
The man having the greatest amount
of money 10 his Golfers, is not 10 a
philosophic sense, necessarily the
richest man, it is he who has the
money and makes the proper, aud the
most nationally enjoyable use of it.
The miser may have his millions
and failing in these, is after all
miserably poor, aud in reasons eye, to
be pitied He has not the wisdom to
put it to any profitable use. Sub
stantially he is concentrated all in self,
and after all accomDlisbes nothing
beneficial to himself He lives with

1t is encouraging to reflect that the
mind of man is awakening to a realiz-
ing sense of its progressive power. It
is comforting to know that progresa is
stamped on everything with which en-
terprisiRg man has to do. Men are
born onrqsd, and that too whether
they will or not. Ii makes no kind o f
difference what their opinions of the
causes are, which give this propulsion
to the march of mind. 1t may be an
impulse spFingIng from within OF a
power descending from above, which
impels them. Wherever it comes
from and whatever be its cause, on
eoard rs the general trend of all things
controlled by divine providence. 1t is
the decree of the creator and governor
of all things that man must move on
tCard. Perhaps when he shall have
passed into higher state of being the
distractions to his vision will be re-
moved and he will be able to under
stand the present inscrutable ways of
God in his government of man

Reflections for Family Reading
March 5h


Usually the air is much agitated at
this time. Winter, all reluctant, as it
were, to abdicate and surrender its
reign to the milder dominion of spring,
gives US its parting winds and gales
and occasional storms, but God has
ordained that the seasons shall change,
it graduates its blusterings, calms
down, and nature wears smiling as
pect. 1t may be different on the
ocean. There the hurricane may be
on the wing, tossing the bill
lows mountain high. Some luckless
ship or bark is laboring in the fell
swoop of its mercless rage. The brave
mariner clings to the bending mast,
while the tempest hOwls around and
above him Perhaps, for the first time,
he feels his helplessness, and realizing
that there is one who can cause the
winds to cease and the angry waters
to be still, he calls upon God, who
"plants his footsteps on the sea and
rides upon the Storm for help. If
man would realize how impotent he is,
how ntterless he ofttimes becomes, let
him undertake to cross arms with the
Almighty. Let him imagine himself
standing over the cavernous jaws of an
earthquake, in the whirl of a cyclone,
on the bosom of storm stirred ocean,
in the track of the lightning's wing.
Let him fancy what his power of resis
tance is, and what it can avail him
when felled by appoplexy, or when
the heart ceases its motion. God alone
can help in such times of need. Let
US then be ever mindful of our con
stant dependence upon him who holds
the winds in the hollow of his hand !;
who rules the earth and all which there
in is; who creates, sends forth and di-
reefs the lightning; who causes the
blood to putsate and who watches and
ordains every heart throb from the
| cradle through life

He Beats Taylor In the Race at tho
NRtatorium.
Great excitement among the big crowd Of
spectators marked the finish of the swim
ming contest at the natatorium last night.
It was the largest crowd of the season.
Owing to tho delay in getting the great
plunge cleared for the swimmers the start
was not made until nine o'clock. Ross and
Taylor stated from the deep water end,
Taylor taking the lead with the Webb
overland stroke. which he maintained
until the finish. Ross used the same stroke
and II seemed as if it was impossible to
gain on Taylor. Near the finish the crowd
made the natatorium ring with
their cries of encouragement for their fn-
vorites. Four feet from the finish line
Ross made three lunges forward which
lifted him high in the water and lan6ed
him winner by two inches. The distance
was seventy Eve yards. Roas' time was
sixty seconds. Ex-Aldsrman Iony Harrity
was Judge for Ross and State Veterinary
Surgeon HOLLOWAY was judge for Taylor.
The purse was 500. the loser taking $40.
The championship of the state for sew
enty- hve yards will be contested on July 4
between Ross and Taylor. who are very
evenly matched. Several other entries are
expected to be made.
