Her Trust In Vaccination and provcr


Here is II little story, the incident being
given to us during the smallpox period and
when Winsted was buried in gloom. 1t
happened when things were at the worst,
and it occurred in the household of Mr.
benjamin Richards on John street Mr.
Richards has little daughter, and she
took it to heart quite forcibly because the
churches were all closed, and so she dressed
herself in some of her mothers clothes one
Sunday morning, and perching upon the
stairs proceeded to hold church services
The little tot was choir and soprano and
preacher all in one. After calling upon
Mrs. Howe to sing IL hymn, she personated
the well known vocalist and sang, and then
she did little preaching, and then made !,
prayer. The prayer was short and was us
follows:
20 Lord, make the smallpox 90 away.
Don't let the smallpox get my papa, nor
my mamma, nor me, nor any of us. o
Lord, we've all been vaccinated, and it,,
working b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l-l-y on all of us;
amen"
We are pleased to state that the prayer
was answered, and that the little tot and
all of her family came through the ordeal
in good order Winstead Citizen.

A mothers greatest glory of all is
that she can do all this: Suffer for
her children, sacrifice herself for
them, die for them, even survive
them, without gaining anything from
it for herself. Her love is all unself-
ishness. If but her child is happy,
she Graves for no other reward; she
cares not even though she herself be
unhappy. If but her child meets with
success, she Graves for no other riches;
she cares not even though she herself
be poor. If but her child is honored
she Graves for no other glory, she
cares not even though she herself be
despised. Agrippinna, being over
ambitious for the future of her son
Nero, was repeatedly warned by the
astrologers that his elevation involved
her murder. To all such warnings
she had put one answer Occidot dam
inperet. "Let him Stay me, so he do
but reign" He did reign, and he did
slay his mother.

s'success at length came from an un-
movement were Whitefield and the
Wesleys. While diligently studying
the Bible, they saw they could not be
saved without holiness Of heart land
life. They followed after it, and in
cited others to do the same. The
spark of grace, the warmth of which
they soon felt in their hearts, became
as flame of fire, and was manifestly
a coal from off the altar of God. Forth
with they called upon all men to re-
pent and turn to God. The closing Of
the churches against them sent them
to the docks, the jails and collieries.
The people heard them gladly, though
every word was an arraignment of
moved. AS the work spread, there
was a marked gain in temperance.
Many liquor sellers found that the
gains of their traffic were as unbear-
able as were the thirty pieces of silver
to Judas, and abandoned the trade.
Multitudes exchanged the nightly
carousal of the saloon for the prayer
meeting, and found their old passion
for drink taken away by their new
experience Of the love of Christ. Three
months after the work began, the So
ciety for the reformation Of manners
were astonished by the amazing
changes that had taken place. 1t was
the most effective temperance move
ment of that or any other century.
The teaching of experience is that
any great uplift Of humanity comes
from that work that touches mems
souls and changes their hearts.

The scriptures were first written on
skins, linen cloth or papyrus and
rolled up as we roll engravings. The
Old Testament written in the old He
brew character-an off shoot of the
Phenician. 1t was a symbol language
as written, having no vowels. The
consonants were only written and the
vowel sound supplied by the voice.
The words ran together in a continu-
Gus line. After the Hebrew became
a dead language, novels were sup
piled to preserve usage, which was
passing away. After the Babylonish
captivity the written Hebrew was
modified by the Aramic, and schools
of reading taught the accent and en-
phasis. Then came the separation of
words from each other, then division
into verses.

A girl never marries her ideal. One
reason is that she doesn't like him.
Another reason is, the material man
is so dreadfully unlike the one of her
imagination. A girl is an inconsistent
creature, anyway. AS sure as she
fashions the idol Of her minds eye as
a great, fierce, black moustached,
brigandish- looking individual, the
end will be promise to love and
obey some meek, freckled, red haired
person who cannot forget his affec-
tions for chocolate caramels and foot
ball scrimmages. Most dreadful is
the fate of the little woman who ad-
mires the jolly man who can laugh at
paper weight biscuits and boiled
beefsteak, for she invariably falls head
over heels in love with some solemn,
stately man whose very photograph
makes her dumb with silent awe.
