Tennyson on Spring.

We have the word of Alferd Tenny-
son for it that in the spring the
young mans fancies lightly turn to
thoughts of love. 1t is singular that
that the great laureate omitted to
mention the fact that it is in the
spring that considerable portion of
the human race turn to taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla. Probably nothing but
the difficulty of finding a good rhyme
for that invaluable remedy deferred.
Certain it is that the old-time domes-
tic remedies are generally discarded
in favor of the standard blood puri-
fer, Hoods Sarsaparilla, which has
attained the great popularity all over
the country as the favorite spring
medicine. 1t purilies the blood and
gives nerve, mental, bodily and
digestive strength.

The meeting of the Kansas con-
ference Of the Methodist Episcopal
church in Abilene is an event in the
city's history Of no little Importance.
The gathering here Of so eminent a
body, representing 80 influential a
denomination, is an honor TO the
community.
The Methodist church is a great and
marvellous institution. Its founder,
John Wesley, had no idea of establish.
ing an organization Of such msgnifi-
cent proportions and worldwide
efficiency when he gave to 1t its first
impetus,
Starting with little band Of Oxford
students in 1899, 1t has spread to pro-
portions that makes 1t one Of the
worlds leading denominations. The
American pioneer preachers Of Method
ism overcame the most discouraging
obstacles. They gladly swan rivers
and crossed mountains in order to
carry the message OF life" to the
scattered communities and their hero.
ism and sacrifices are a part Of the
history of the nation.
In foreign fields the harvest has been
steadily carried on by the church and
over 100 900 members are added yearly
to the church roll from beyond the seas.
Thoburn in India, Taylor In Africa
and hundreds of as devoted though
less known missionaries as carrying on
this branch of the church service. "a
million dollars year for missions" is
the church's motto for foreign mission
AIRY work; and Build a church day"
is its battle cry at homeland both
results are accomplished.
In Kansas the Methodist church has
more than double the number of
church organizations and by far the
largest membership Of any denomina.

house for no other audience room In

those anxious to hear the famous
speaker. Every seat was filled and
many occupied the aisles.
Rev. j. r. Mayor presided. The
Columbian chorus, with DR. NJ. II.
Hewett ~ leader and Miss Freeman as
accompanist sang The Radiant
Morn" with the perfection that char
acterizes all Of the chorus's work.
After some announcements Dr.
Vincent was introduced and was 70.
ceived most enthusiastically by the
large audience. His erect form,
strong face, well modulated voice
reaching every point Of the room with
| ont apparent effort all gave an i'm
preston Of we'll preserved and well
endowed manhood. Frequent APP
plause, r.pples OF laughter and close
attention were the audiences tribute
to the strength Of the address. 1t was
a lecture which enobled aud inspired
all.
The lecture opened with passage
from Alexander Smith an apostr0phe
| to little child son thou bright
thing, fresh from the hands Of God. "
From the sunny paths in which the
poet apostrophizes the child we follow
her into the practical details Of every
day life; troubled by music lessons,
singing her dolls to sleep, making
lines about the home life In company,
telling secrets about her big sister to
her big sister'a beaux, singing her song
of "Seven Times One" talking as the
represented abused sex is supposed Ia
talk, prosecuted by her brother "rhat
Boy" It ia well that she be- II and
consider herself a girl and not boy
and that she be trained to be a woman
aud not man; thus each sex is most
true TO itself and is of the most value
TO the opposite sex.
The curtain rises and our LITTLE

song Of "Seyen Times Two" putting

extravagant talk, a creature Of brillian
Imagination and intense sentiments

An earnest group of gentlemen In
black was present In the Methodist
church all day. Most Of them were
young men-a few had wiite hairs and

ference proper, but it was by the
younger ones that the conferences of
the future are to be conducted.
The day was devoted to the meetings
of the committees of ministers appoint
