about Gods part of our work.
The more We love men, the more we
can see in them to love.
Work for Christ will fail, unless it is
done in a Christlike spirit.
There is such a thing as n prayer
meeting being prayed to death.
The preaching that is aimed at the
head, generally misses the heart.
God made visible things to teach us
Of better things that are invisible.
Fight you troubles one at a time,
and those in the front rank will run
The prayer that starts from a Bible
promise, flies on the wings Of faith.
Whoever has a good temper. will be
sure to have many other good things.
Instead of taking the cross of Christ,
many try to make one for themselves.
If men had to be judged by men. the
devil would be willing to lay down his
club.
You can't tell how many friends God
has in a town, by counting the church
SteepleS.
Some people are willing to give the
devil any room in the house except a
front one.
Wonder if the X-rays will ever be
able to show that a politician has a
backbone.
The lhilistines We're as much afraid
OF Samson's eyes as they had been of
his great strength.
There are thousands of promises in
the Bible, but not one of them was put
there to make a loafer happy,
Mel have been known to pray il
church for something to do when their
wives had to saw nearly all the wood.
How much it would shorten our
long prayers in church, i: we would
only pray for what we are willing to
work for.

than any thing else; shows a recovery
of 1ac this week, that rs to say. holders re-
fuse to sell wool any longer at lower prices
than. it costs laid down. The West is, as
usual at Clip time. stronger. in it's hopes
than the East. There have been no sales
to take cut woods, bought and stored for
them in Boston last fall. The stoppage of
wool machinery is estimated at about one
half Of f,t the he, total. The sales of the week

mestic and $4,000 pounds foreign last week
and 1.557 900 pounds domestic and SS4. O0o

atable wines were sold in San Francisco as
low as cents per gallon. including freight

wise methods of the California Wine
Growers association. at this time the
stocks of wine are reduced to a minimum,
and the prices are firm at rs cents for the
lowest grades of sound. dry wines, while
sweet varieties are firm at 40 to so cents
for ordinary grades, and higher for the
nobler yintages. When one realizes that
about all the genuine wine made in Amer
lea is that of California, the small amount
of wine consumed here is realized.
