LESSONS FROM THE LIFE OF OUR LORD
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1895-02-23
SIDE-LIGHTS.
Jesus Went

Jesus Wept.-
Jesus wept those tears are over,
But his heart is still the same;
Kinsman, Friend and elder Brother
Is his everlasting name.
Saviour, who can love like thee,
Gracious One of Bethany
When the pangs of trial seize us,
When the waves of sorrow roll,
will lay my head on Jesus,
Pillow of the troubled SOUL
Surely none can feel like thee,
Weeping One of Bethany.
Denny.
Through Death to Life.-Scence can define
neither life nor DEATH We only know that this
spirit withdraws and leaves the dwelling unten-
anted. The musician stops playing, locks his in
strument. and goes away; the king abdicates his
sovereignty over his earthly domain and departs
And presently the kingdom, with no king on the
throna, dissolves; the organ, with organist ito
play upon it, falls in pieces; the tent abandoned by
It's tenants, drops in hopeless ruin on the ground
But this affords no slightest reason for thinking
that the king is dead, the organst is extinguished
the tenant has ceased to bc.-Lywan .ft601.
If Thou Hadst Been Hcrc.-Mary's language
expresses the very essence OF soultorture at such
times. In our affliction we continually echo the
'lf of these sisters, saying to ourselves if had
done this or if had done that, if it had not been
for our blunder, or that of friends, physi
clan, our beloved one would not have died. Chance
is the god Of atheism, and is comfortless god in
the time of our troube.-A6bon.
The General Purport of the Sign.-The rails
ing of Lazarus is the most stupendous of the quick
enng miracles of Jesus, the immediate cause of his
DEATH and the foreshadowing of his resurrection.
Spinoza sad he could believe this he would have
no difficulty with all the other miracles, and would
dash to pieces his pantheistc philosophy and be-
come Christian. The false explanations (raising
from trance; symbolic fiction; pious fraud) are
untenabe, and explain nothing. The historic truth
is abundantly attested by the simplicity, vvacty
and circumstantality OF the narrative, the good
snse and honesty of Lazarus and his sisters, and
the Divine character of Christ. The only serious
difficulty is the silence of the other Evangelists.
This has been explained by delicate regard to the
surviving family better by the tact that the first
three Gospels describe only the Galilean ministry
of Jesus till his solemn entry into Jerusalem; while
John omts the raising of Jairus' daughter and the
widows son, which took place in Galilee.-Philif
Sehaf

A COMPLIMENT.

To One of Mason oounty's Young Ladies.
The Weston Democrat occasion
ally publishes poems written by
frankie R. Moore. They contain
real poetry and genuine merit. and
in stating this we claim to be fairly
good judge of such matters. Who
is the writer? Give us a sketch of
her career. We will publish one of
her poems-"y Vanished Joys"-next
week.-Clarksburg Tribune.
She is the daughter of Judge G..
P. t. Moore, of Mason county, for
many years a member of the Su-
preme Court of Appeals of this
State and himself gentleman of
recognized literary ability who, in
connection with DR.. Letterman,
founded the celebrated Phi Kappa
Psi Fraternity, whose membership
includes many distinguished liter
airy graduates in every State. She
was educated by private tutors at
home and at Mt. De Cbantle Sem
mary, near Wheeling, since which
time she has occasionally engaged
in literary endeavor for the pleasure
it affords her. Her verses which
are characterized by high degree
of merit-have frequently appeared
in periodicals in West Virginia and
Ohio, have elected very compli-
mentary eulogiums. They have a
true and poetic ring.-Weston
Democrat.

a Helntnal Hint to the Rows.

Acquire all the education within
your grasp, is the advice of one of
Americas leading bankers. To
keep ones self thoroughly informed
on current events is an education
which no man of affairs can afford
to neglect. In entering upon a ca
reer, first let that career be thought
fully selected, in the second place,
determine to persevere and stick to
that career and no other. Do not
allow yourself to be carried away
into side issues. This quality of be-
ing able to adhere to selected ca
reer is most important, for the old
adage, ga rolling stone gathers no
moss" is truth. The young man
who shifts from one line of bushes
to another because he can temper
arily increase his salary, is apt to
find himseIfat the age of forty with
out career.

AMERIoAN CONCERT COMPANY.

The Splendid Artists Composing This
Company, WIN Appear at HOOfl's
House, July 10th.
Below is what the Parkersburg
Stat Journal has to say of the Amer
lean Concert Company, which will
give an entertainment, for the bene-
fit of the Elks. at HooHs Opera
House, July 10th:
The American Concert Company.
-of Parkersburg, gives a perform
ance at Point Pleasant July 10
under the auspices of the EIks at
that place, and the following night
they play at Gallipolis, O., under
the auspices of the Gallipolis Liter
AIRY Society. At both places they
viii be greeted by large audiences
of the best people of the town.
This concert company is compos-
ed of four of Parkersburg's talented
people. They are Miss Mary Hea-
ley, soprano; Miss Matte Brooks
Smith, elocutionist and contralto,
Miss Mary Gertrude Dulin, violinist,
and Miss Bernie Rogers, pianist. 1t
is strong concert organization and
the entertainment they give is of a
high order.
Miss Healy possesses a remarka-
bly, sweet, expressive, and high So
prano, which is highly cultivated
and over which she exercises COM
plete control. She is great favor
tie with Point Pleasant people, hav-
ing sung there on previous occas-
ions. They know just what to ex-
pect of her down there and they
will not be disappointed in her
singing at either place.
Miss Smiths ability as an elocu-
ZIONIST Is we'll known in Parkers-
burg. Shereceived her training at
the Pittsburg Female College and
the Cincinnati Conservatory of mu-
sic. At both places she won gold
medal for her unusually fine work.
Miss DuIin's playing on the violin
is talented indeed. She is a natural
and gifted performer and her in
structor, Campanari, under whom
she studied last winter, was enthu-
siastic in his praises of her splendid
playing.
Miss Rogers, the accompanist, is
not only an accomplished pianist
but plays other instruments with
the same finish and ability.
The State Journal can insure the
people of Point Pleasant and CALI
polls that they have treat in store
for them.
Several, societies and churches in
Huntington and Charleston are
negotiating with view to getting
the American Concert Company
to visit those places.
