The lowliness or humility of the Lord
Jesus Christ is apparent throughout all
His life. In this wonderful description
Of the sufferings and death Of Christ,
hundreds Of years before they occurred,
this characteristic is strikingly set
forth. He took upon Himself the form
Of lowliness. He might have come to
earth in royal splcndor had He desired,
but He did did come just the opposite
of this q hath no form nor comeli-
ness, and when we shall see Him there
is no beauty that we should desire
Him. T" He also took upon Himself the
spirit Of lowllncss He was despised
and rejected Of men He was oppressed
and afflicted, yet be opened not His
mouth He might have resented the
insults Of His enemies, but He did not.
He was as silent amid the sneers of men

lie also exemplifed the practice Of
lowliness and humility. He washed
the feet Of His disciples that He might

humility Is heightened by the character

God Cares For Us,

Christ is the divine proof to US that
God cares for us, not as race, but rs
individuals. God has always cared. 1t
was because He cared that He sent

come to Him freely with all our wants
and woes III gladness as we'll as sorrow

Loving One Another.

Sexed and troubled and sore perPleNcd,
To learn the Sundays forgotten text,
Only three words gilded card.
But both the children declared 1t hard
" Love that l. easy-N means, why, this"
{ warm embrace and "A loving kiss,
But one another don't see who
i meant by 'ano' her. now, May, do you?"
Very grandly he raised her head,
our thoughtful darling, and slowly said
As she fondly smiled on her little brother
why, am one, and you are the other.

That must love you and you must love me"

A Hundred Years From Now.


A Hundred Years From Now.
The surging sea of human life
Forever onward rolls
And bears TO the eternal shore
Its daily freight of souls.
Though bravely sails our bark today,
Pale death sits at the prov.
And few shall know we ever lived
A hundred years from now.
Why should we try SO earnestly
In life's short, narrow span,
On golden stairs to climb so high
Above our brother mann
Why blindly at an earthly shrine
In slayish homage bow2
Our gold viii rust. ourselves be dust,
a hundred years from now.
o patient hearts, that meekly bear
Your weary load OF wrongi
o earnest hearts, that bravely dare,
And striving grow more strong!
Press on till perfect peace is won.
You'll never dream Of how
You struggled DER LIES thorny road
A hundred years from now.
Earth's empires rise and fall, o Time,
Like breakers on thy shore!
They rush upon thy rocks of doom,
Go down and are no more
The starry wilderness of worlds
That gem nights radiant brow
VIII light the skies for other eyes
A hundred years from now.
Our Father. 10 whose sleeping eyes
The past and future stand
An open page, like babes we cling
To thy protecting hand.
Change. sorrow, death, are naught 10 az
II we may safely bow
Beneath the shadow OF thy throne

meeting at Eureka last Thursday eve

the fact that Eureka county was the

ago, is very encouraging to Republicans.

DISEASES OF WOMEN.
"Woman's Weakness"

"A new and systematic method.
In the diseases peculiar to women
we employ an entirely new and
uneXcelled method, one pro.
claimed in all the leading hospit-
ais of the East and Europe to be
superior in every feature TO any
system known in all the ages past.
We feel in thus adopting this
system that we can earnestly and
heartily recommend every lady
suffering from uterine or ovarian
troubles of any kind, or any other
form of female weakness, not to
fail by any means to avail them
selves of the chance to be cured
These painful and distressing
troubles which make the life of a
woman most miserable, and lay
the foundation for a premature
death, are brought under a special
line Of treatment, which affords
immediate relief and most pleas

Newspaper Work.

PhtIa delphia Times:
When all others fail, try litera-
ture, especially newspaper writing.
That seems to be the motto of ever
so many ladies and young men at
present. Most of the newspaper
offices are beset with applications
from girls, mature women and
Young men who can not do any
thing else, and who suppose that
newspaper work Is easy and pro-
fitable. Few of them have the
faintest idea that every newspaper
writer Of even moderate success
has to have years and years Of
training, and is only valuable ac-
cording to his experience, knowl-
edge, acquaintance and versatility.
1t may be said that ten years Is
considered very moderate term
Of apprenticeship in newspaper
work. Many who have been at it
twenty years find they are just
learning.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Miss Lizzie Lytle Badly Burned
While Cleaning a Dcess.

About 1l:30 o'clock Sunday
night Miss Lizzie Lytle, residing
with her parents on South Alamo
street, repaired to her room and
began cleaning a dress with gazo-
line. The lamp was near the can
and soon terrible explosion took
place. Miss Lyle called for as
sistance and the summons was
responded to by Mr.. Murray, who
was rooming in the house. When
he entered the lady's room he
found her clothing in flames,
and quickly grabbed a blanket
and smothered the blaze. The
young lady was quite badly
burned about the arms and breast
and will not be able to be out for
some time. DR.. f. G. Clavin was
sent for shortly after the explosion
and administered medical aid, and
succeeded in relieving, to great
extent, the pains. She is improving
rapidly and her many friends hope
for her speedy recovery.
