Mr.. Ii j. Simmons is in the city.
He is in the employ Of the S ate Of
Texas, under the direction Of the
state railway commission. He is
making com ylete inventory and
appral-ement of Texas railway
property in Texas, of every de-
scription. The object is to arrive
at the amount invested, by estimat
ing wha' it would cost to replace
the property. This valuation is to
form the basis upon which rates are
to be based by the railway com
mission. Such rates will be es
tablshed by law as will pay a
reasonable and just income on the
investment.

For many year has glided by
Since first we saw this mundane light
One morn-'twas forty years ago.
Wemet in Springs bright. blooming Nav
And so oft while muSing joe
With fond delight recall the day.
But soon the names of Joe and Rem
Erased will be from an ancient page
Well cease to dwell with mortal men
Wen cease to bear intirm old age.
While seeking here eternal life.
On lofty Paradise claim,
Nor found We Jewels in the strife
Nor scaled the heights of envied fame
But there's time when life must end
When you and Unjust cease to be
When we must part from foe and friapd
And pass into eternity.
And this the time when God will call
When naught on earth can life DELAY
When Death will break the prison wall
And swiftly carry the soul away.
So, conrad Joe tits truly wise
To ever trod life's better way,
To purchase mansions in the skies
Where reigns eternal day.

Silent Forces.
BY REV. A. b. COOPER

| BY REV. A. B. COOPER.
Silence IS an evidence of power.
All great forces work silently. 1t is
only the energy of little things which
expends itself in noise and violence
The power which carries millions of
worlds through millions of miles of
space is as noiseless as a bit of
thistledown; whereas the engine
which crushes bit of rock in cor
ner OF the universe sends its vibra-
tons III sound-waves through the
inestimable expanse of ether. So it
is with human lives. 1t is weakness
and smallness that makes most of
the clamor in the world. True power
runs deeply and silently. The great
soul always has a tendency to re-
preston. Its strength does not lie
on the surface, but deep down, so
that It's action is not readily seen or
heard, but it accomplshes the great
things of life.
True character-th character that
influences the worlds for the most
Bart silent. 1t does not work by
eahortation, persuasion, or any form
OF words soever, but by faithful
living, noble action, sweet and quiet
influence. These are the silent but
potent forces which rule the moral
universe. Men may preach and ex-
tort, entreat and command, but after
all, 1t is silent character which infu-
ences and moves the world. One true,
consistent, noble, God-like man in
community is like a central sun
around which little universe of
humanity revolves. What that man
does is more than what all others
say; how he lives, is better and more
potential gospel than can be preached
by any lips. The story [ read more
than three years ago, makes it's way
into my mind.
Once upon time there was a
young man, at the opening of the
doors of the church, went up to join;
after a week meeting, the preacher
said to him: My brother, which one
of my sermons during these series of
services struck you most?" The
young man said, None of them, it
was Aunt Mary's living over yonder
that moved me to seek the Lord"
The power of genuine character is
both magnetic and dynamic. 1t at
tracts and compels. But all its ac-
tion goes on in silence. It's gospel is
not proclaimed, but lived. The deed
comes before the word. and needs no
word to utter it. Such lives express
ing themselves in character, are God
best evangels. They are the silent
but prevailing forces which hasten
on the coming of Christ's Kingdom.

dism. '--0
After while we were shown the
palatlal residence of Brother Vim
Lowe, one of the trustees of onr
church. Brother and Sister Lowe
made us feel at home. Brother Lowe
then started out to introduce us to
some OF the prominent members of
our church. Messrs. Frink. Cole
Jordan, Payne, Pullen, Jones were
presented to us; also prominent citi-
zen friends to our church were met,
among them Messrs. McCabe. Nor.
u.s. Twlne, Saddler, Sawyer, McCar-
yer, and many others.
Sunday morning, Dec. 11th, we
met respectable congregation. and
tried to preach, Sunday evening also.
By this time it had been noised abroad
that the new preacher had arrived.
and the little church could not hold
the crowd. We had a chance of view
ing the people We had to serve. Here
were lawyers, doctors, constables,
justices, grave diggers, and coffin
makers; here was the refined and
cultured; here was the fair, the wise.
and the simple.
We launched our ministerial
barque upon the placid sea of crit
clsm. When we sat down, amid
many hearty amens, we felt a great
burden roll off our soul. The next
day we were informed that we had
bearded the lion in his den and had
conquered. The officers promised us
their unqualified support, and we set
tied down to work. We found the
little church nearly 100000 In debt.
and far too small for our cOngrepation
Mid the unprecedented hard winter.
we have managed to keep our heads
above waves thus far.
GUTHRIE.
Few people who read of the land
of Oklahoma know much of Guthrie.
four year-old city of nearly $4,000
inhabitants, graded streets, electric
lights, water works, and the contract
let for electric street cars, eight white
churches and seven colored churches,
among the latter the African Metho
dist holds her own.
The schools here are better than in
most Southern states at least; caste
prejudice too is not so much. Though
the average republican white man is
social enough to be sure; he would
rather see the negro in the rear. The
of Guthrie is truly cos
and is composed cf the
Caucasian, Negro, Indian, Mexican,
Chinese, donkey and dogs, with an
admiXture of the ex- -bull-dozers of
the South, but the latter has dropped
the euphonious title of his calling
and dwindled into "inocuous desue-
tude."
Our church needs help to take the
front rank which it ought to, in this
young metropolis of the West. Our
people are Jealous enough, but they
come here seeking homes, and have
but little money, and many of them
are fleeing from the expressions in
the South. If we fail to receive
them they will go elsewhere This
is truly mission field that needs

If we fail in the supreme effort
to bring our church to the front,

us, OF we must take the back seat.
