PRECAUTIONS FOR THE FUTURE

The st. Louis Convention was run by
the free silver fusionists and for the
fusionists. The fusion gang manipu
lated the convention like an expert op-
orator does a complicated machine
They W had a string to the electric
light switch board, and when darkness
was thought to be needed to confound
the middle of the readers, the electric
lights we're turned off.
The permanent presiding eff GER,
Senator Allen, was a veritable CT ar.
Never did Reed, of Maine, exercise
more autOcratic power over the lower
house than did Allen in his capacity as
presiding officer. When he did not
want a delegate heard he refused to
recognize him. When this autocrat
did not want a telegram read tt the
convention, he suppressed it. If the
storm lasted into the night and the
contest waged hotter than he desired,
then he pulled the string and out went
the lights.
These conditions must be guarded
against in the future. If the Peoples
party is to be reduced to the level of
the old party if Peoples party conven-
tions are to be controlled like ward
meetings, by bum methods, then it is
time there was some action taken to
purify the party and extract this rule
or ruin boss, or bust element out of it.
The middle of, the readers will be pre-
pared for this sort of unfair and dishon
orable dealing next time, and if a PEG
ple's party convention cannot be con
Quoted fairly and honestly, they will
know the reasons to the contrary.

are the young and tender in the cause
1 Christine weak, faltering Chris
tians. Or they are those who ruSh
carelessly into the fight and forget to
put on their battle armor. The strong,
old, full f9dged Christian soldier will
never fall. He will stand in the thick
est of the battle and not go much as
finch when the enemy shoots it's big
gest gun. 1t may pour volley after
volley of their shot and shells into
the Christians ranks and not a wound
will be sustained. His armor is too
strong. 1t surely is the duty OF the
old long service Christians to drill the So
new recruits that are being added daily
to the list. Is it not their duty to help
them to wea their m bright and
strong, and shield them in the battle
till they become strong and lose their
fear9 To nourish the weak, wavering
ones that are enlisted in the army, to
whisper in their ears words of courage
and support them in the fray and pos
sibly help them to overcome their
weakness?
I have heard people speak of heaven
on earth. I've heard it said if our
hearts cannot enjoy a little heaven on
earth how Ear they be in condition to
enjoy heaven when we leave earth7
To my mind, it seems the more unlike
heaven this life is the more we can en-
joy heaven when we gain it. d. we
expect this life to be a heaven on earth2
No. In youth we may expect grand
things in this life, but as we grow
older and as the experiences come to
us, we begin to know that the bright
winged butterflies that we have been
chasing are always just beyond
finger ~tips-just out of our reach. So
We are not in a position to enjoy heav-
en- here. This is our souls battle field.
His promises and our hopes are the
only glimpses of heaven we have.
We must look up and lift up.
We must be strong, be yielding, be
evergreen. We must work and watch
and when the battle is ended then we
can enjoy the victory-heaven.

SMOKING MEATS WITHOUT A
FIRE.

It is possible to give t. cured meats a
delicious, smoky flavor without a
smoke house or a fire. Kr8user's LIQUID
Extract OF Smoke, obtained from the
smoke Of hickory wood, is strongly
recommended by those who have used
it as a practical article for effectually,
conveniently and economically pre-.
serving all kinds of cured meats It
makes the meat solid, keeps lG moist
and free from insects, shippers and
mould and gives it a much better
flavor than can be obtained by smok-
ing the old way. Besides saving time
and bother, it obviates all danger from
fire and the risk of having the meats
stolen, as they can be kept in a secure
place instead of a detached smoke
house. Every one who cures meats,
no matter how much or how little,
should give Extract of Smoke a trial.

To day they are as mum as oysters.
Many of these gentlemen we know

of them, when the day of election
comes, will vote for Bryan, but they
can't talk. To do so means the loss of
their jobs, and this they cannot afford.
"Of course no general orders have
been issued to this efect-the officials
of the Company are too smart for this
but they have let it be understood
how the men are expected to vote. A

she would be afraid of the dark, and
he leaned over and lifted her out of her
seat i'll front OF him into his arms
When we came out into the sunlight
she was gazing into his face with an
intense look of inquiry, a mingling of
fear and trust; then a smile broke
over her face-a smile that said so
much! The tunnel had been dark, she
did not en- ~ it, b 1t she was quiet
through it b 9cause her father held her.
When it was passed she saw his face
she knew he had kept her safe; she an,
swered his smile with glad acknowl-
edgment, and all the while the dark
passage had been a necessary part of
the way to bring her to the place where
she wished to go. Her father knew
this while they were in the darkness
baby did not know it, but she vas quiet
in his arms. Ga! if we could only enter
the kingdom of God "as a little
child!
Many of Gods dear children meet
with great disappointments; they lose
their mean Of support; they suffer
pain; they pass through mysterious
SORROWS which cut to the very hearts
core. Things do not come out as they
would chose them at all. Still, St. Paul
says very decidedly they do work to-
gether for good. Let us go the way
he went, and see if we can come out
at the same delightful resting place.
Let us look at what God has done for
US, what He has wrought in us, what
He purposes for us, how He has given
us His spirit go that we may know how
to talk with Him in prayer. Let us
read the history of His old-time PEG
pie, and see how the very worst things
in Jacobs life worked into the golden
chain Of Gods providential care. See
how the adverse circumstances of
Joseph's seemingly unfortunate youth,
though meant for evil by man, were all
the while intended for good by God.
And if, in our own experience, some
clouds have not yet unrolled their sill
yer lining, others have, and We may
be absolutely sure the rest will, for
HE maketh the clouds His chariot"
and the blacklist cloud upon which He
rides will sometime unfold its secret
Of FURNISHED gold.
Some of the hills of life are very
rugged and steep. We can only mount
them as we hold fast to our Guide
We shall slip, slip down into hopeless
les and despair unless we hold fast to
the strong assurance of HIM whose
word faileth never, that all things
work together for good to them that
love Him." Are you too tired to hold
fast to Him7 Well, never mind. He
says, II will hold thee by My right
hand" that strong right hand pierced
for love of us!
50 shall 1 silence my soul with a
peacefulness deep and broad,
So shall l gather divine control in the
infinite quiet Of God"

Midst the Slain in the Battle Between

Midst the Slain in the Battle Between
the Christians and the World
Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Do we ever think for once that the
battle Christians are fighting daily wit l
the world is a serious one7 Thousands
of Christians are falling every day by
the piercing balls and stinging bayo
nets of the world. The Lords host
marches strong and fearlessly against
it's enemies, but that enemy is power
full in its forces and deadly in its havoc
This battle never ceases. The rising
sun, the MONDAY sun, the setting sun
shine forever upon this terrible strife.
The roll of battle like grumbing thun-
der can be heard far and near. The
smoke of cannon, hovers around us.
Listen! Look! We are on the battle
field! Here are thousands lying on
the ground, helpless, bleeding. slashed
with bayonets, pierced with shot,
grooming and dying. Some are already
dead. They are Christians who have
fallen in the fight, who could not with
stand the enemy's shots and shells.
All! they are here around us, under
our feet, graphing in the dust, strug,
Cling for the last faint breath. Some
are staggering to and fro blind and
bleeding. Look yonder at the battle!
Look here at these suffering soldiers!
They are looking appeals to us from
their dying eyes. What shall we do7
Can we fold our hands-stand here and
see these poor suffering mortals stran
gle to death by their own blood7 Can
we see them die without a word OF
comforts Can we hear them call for
water and not give it, Can we stuff
our fingers in our ear and walk on
over them, deaf to their Wants7 We
had better by far turn to DUR heels and
| fly from the scene, if it were possible,
than to do this. Brother, sister, can't
we do something, though it be ever so
little, for these fallen Christians, lay
ing helpless on the field to days Let US
mourn for those who are dead, pray
for those who are dying. Let US COM
fort the wounded at least. If we pass
them by and expect them to recover,
with the little strength they have left
them, expect them to pull themselves
up and crawl back to health and vigor
with their life blood oozing out through
gaping wounds, unaided, then we will
surely have the death of many Of
these Christians to answer for. Their
blood will be upon us.

Good Cheer.
Ocean Grove, N. J.

And we know" Ga, what a com
fort to be sure of something! In the
midst of so much that is dark and
doubtful, how like a bright, clear patch
Of blue in the troubled sky is ST. Paul's
cheerful, 1--WE know that all things
work together for good to them that
love God" 1t will clear off sometime!
Weeping may endure for the night,
but Joy cometh in the morning. 1t is
always morning somewhere, even on
aais earth, AID it Is always morning
everywhere With God. For esd is
light, and in Him is no darkness at
BIZ" and there shall be mo night"
"When fully He the work hath
wrought
That caused our needless fear"
The way out of darkness is to find
God. How does st. Saul know that all
things work together for the good of
them that love God7 Does it look so?
Did it look es if things we're prosperous
and hopeful for him when he wrote,
I'VE are troubled on every side, yet
not distressed; we r perplexed, but
not in despair; prosecuted, but not for
saken; cast down, but not destroyed9"
Tine very same cares, perplexities, and
disappointments were in his life and
the lives Of his friends as we expe
rlence nov. And yet he said with
out hesitation or qualification, 1--WE
know that all things work together for
good to them that love God"
We very much need the comfort and
strength of such a settled belief as
this, Nothing helps SO much in the
battle of life as a cheerful courage.
Encouragement takes the nerve out of
us sand binders success; a buoyant spirit
tones the whole being and sends us on
to victory. What a solid basis for
courage in the midst of difficulties in
tne assurance that things are surely
goming out right at1astl
There were three ways by which st.
raul, under the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, arrived at this satisfactory and
inspiring conclusion. First, he came
toI by a logical influence from his
process Of reasoning, of which the
0ook Of Romans, and especially the
e 5hth chapter, is full; second, he
came to it through the emphatic dec
'aFatlons of the whole word Of God,
aa OF which he believed had been given
W Inspiration; and, third, he came to
10y his " experience. Now, if you
auo can ONE to the same satisfac-
sOry conclusion by the same way, not
a theory, not to a hearsay, but
W our own calm conviction that no
