text: "And as Moses lifted up the ser
pent in the wilderness, even so must

Christ had said: Now, Nicodemus,
YOU are Jew, and are eOnversant with

scene in the wilderness, do you not,
when the people were bitten by fiery
serpants, and God told Moses to make
piece OF brass in the shape OF SER

Of the camp, and then proclaim to the

Recent Discoveries and the Bible.

Monday and Tuesday evenings of next
week, in the Congregational chapel of

interest to both the student Of the
Eiblc 4 and of secular history. The
scope of the lectures embrace an out
line history OF the world from the Gre
alton to about A. d. 400. The histori-
cal records of the Bible as they bear
uron the great historical epochs of the
world are by the monumental records
discovered in the ancient centers OF
civilization proved to be true, making
the Bible the most accurate historical
work in the world The lantern views
illustrating this historical sketch are
said TO be of marvellous beauty and in
ternst DR.. Baum has been most sue
cessful in treating this subject, for he
has won the commentator of some of
the most eminent Protestant and Cath
clic clergymen of TINS country.

There are many joys, annoyances and
an excellent opportunity for seeing human
nature in all its phases. in the life of an
electric car conductor or motorman. As
the writer was journcying to Gardiner
the other day, he had a chance to see /,
little of it. The car was on Il down grade
and making excellent time. A man who
was busy talking all at once awokc to the
fact that he was passing the street he
designed stopping at. He suddenly mo-
toned to the conductor to stop who i'm
mediately signalled the motorman, who
at once put on the brakes, and here was
the annoying part. ANY man in his cool
moments would know Il car could not be
stopped quickly under such circum-
stances: it did not readily mind the brake
and it was amusing to see with what an
injured air that man looked at the con-
ductor Just as though he was in some
way at fault. The conductor says it is
quite common for people to neglect max
ing their intentions known until the car
is actually at the place where it is to be
stopped. regardless of the speed, and then
blame the conductor for results. Now just
think of man sitting on the platform
as you descend Rhines hill and calmly
watch the car approach, apparently I'M
| mindful of the fact that his legs were in
such "a position they would certainly col
Tide with the car in case it passed him
and in spite of all efforts to warn him,
the motorman was obliged to bring the
car to standstill before the careless man
could be made to realize his situation.
Even Il dog seemed to have imbibed the
same spirit of Indifference to the rights
of the electrics, for he lay asleep on the
track and the car had to be slowed up
before he could be persuaded to bulge.
AS the cars at the functions may not be
exactly on time, how many people consid-
err any of these annoyances having been
the cause and how many ever feel thank
full to the conductor for their uniform
kindness and courtesy. 1t can truly be
said though. that as a rule the travelling
public are kind patient and appreciative.
which fact goes far in smoothing over
the exceptions.

to the bullion price Of silver. 1t would be

 Promptly at 4:3o p. m, the soul inspiring, quivering tones of Men delsohn's wedding march filled the church and the bridal party entered, preceded by Messrs. Fred Hudson and John l.. Mills and Messrs. James B. Dickinson, of Little Rock, and Arthur w. Mills. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. r. Carr and A. 0.

They were driven immediately to the Missouri Pacific depot, where MT. and Mrs. Renfrow took the train for Dallas, their future home. A thousand best wishes from innum- erabe friends accompany them.
