The work OF a child of God Is often a work
Of weariness and in the day Of adversely he
Is In danger Of fainting. But II he will draw
near TO God, and maintain his intimacy with
the Lord Jesus Christ, he need not faint he
need not fail. Strengthened by the power of
God, filed with the courage OF Him who did
not strive nor cry, but who did not fail nor be
discouraged. he may work the work OF the
Lord. beieving on him whom he has sent,
and at last be found Of him In peace when
he shall come in glory.
Faint not, oh, ,.weary heart Dc strong In
God the God ofVUur salvation. The light
Affections are for a moment, the weary tolls
will soon be over, the weeping and the SOW
Ing will soon be past, and the reaping In Joy
shall come, when the Master shall appear,
and crown his people with eternal glory In
the everlasting kingdom OF our God.-The

Rev. j. I. Lloyd OF Delaware. OHIO, from

was over 20) 900, being ono IN l91 OF the

dealers had increased by %, 00D the ratio had
decreased 10 one In 27l. In the great whisky

good use OF hie time. In concluding he
drew attention to the general rule that
when the mind OF the court 10 not clear
then the defendant must have the bene-
fit of the doubt, rather than let the
minds OF the jury be prejudiced.
In ruling upon the matter the court
held that the case at bar was one that
appeared to him to ligitimately form
one OF those exceptional cases referred
to by counsel in reading authorities. 1t
seemed proper that for the purpose OF
proving the criminal irtent OF the de.
fendant, contended for by the proBecu-
tion in opposition to the plea OF SELF
defense and accident of the defense. it
would be valid on the part of the people
that testimony be adduced showing the
connection of the prisoner with what
transpired Immediately following his 70.
turn to town from the Hunter ranch.
The hour for adjournment had arr
rived and the case went over until THE
morning.
