Be of Good Cheer.

"Be of good cheer, it is I; be not
afraid. -
You may have received the promise
long ago, only to have it slip from
your keeping in some hour of trial.
You may have given yourself to God
long years since, and then taken back
the gift when some forbidden pleasure,
craved and longed for, demanded such
sacrifice. You may have united
Yourself to His Church and inscribed
your name upon His grand muster
roll, only to ignore the duty when
some great temptation arose. You
may have partaken of the body and
blood of Christ, only to mock the sac
ri6ce in some moment when the devil
took you up on mountain and offered
you all the pleasures of the world if
you would but follow him and ac-
knowledge him as your king. You
may have back slidden thousand
times, and be grooming now in the
very depths of desolation; in the most
abject fear and grimmest despair that
you are a lost soul. Have no fear.
Though your sins be as scarlet they
shall be as white as snow.
Think not Of Gods vengeance, but
Of His love, Think not of His out
ragged majesty, but of His infinite com :
passion and mercy, and know that you
cannot wander outside the limits of
His love and mercy.
In the midst of your sin and your
repentance, and your fear and despair,
you feel presence near, and imagine
that it is divine hate; but it is MOTT
/ is divine love. 1t says to you: BE of
good cheer" No matter how black
your sins may be, they can be washed
white. No matter how low you may
4 have sunk, Christ can lift you up,
way up, until your enraptured eyes
gaze upon the still waters and the
green pastures. No matter how deep
you may be plunged in the gulf OF
dark despair, Christ will send the sun
light there if you but pray to Him to
/ do so.
| Be of good cheer. You cannot COM
NIT any sin that Christ cannot and
will not forgive. He forgave the dying
thief upon the cross; think you that
He will condemn you to an eternal
death because you have tried to serve
andato follow Him and have fallen
once, thrice, or a thousand times?
1t is the voice OF Christ that breaks
upon the silence, or is heard far above
the clamor and the wailing of those
who are in fear and who think that
they are lost. 1t is the same voice
that babe the daughter of the centur-
ion arise, and that gave sight to the
blind beggar at the gate. 1t is the
same voice that raised Lazarus from
the dead; that cleansed the leper and
babe the lame walk and the deaf to
hear. 1t is the same voice that said
to the woman: Neither do | condemn
thee. Go and sin no more" and tc
that other woman: THY faith hath
made thee whole. New York Ad-
vertiser.

The late Alvin Clark, of Cambridge
port, Mass, discovered in 1862 that
the star Sirius had far less brilliant
companion. Continued observation
for nearly thirty years proved that
this second body revolved around the
FIRST one in an elliptical orbit, at a dis
lance nearly as great as the planet
Neptune from the sun. But in 1890
the companion disappeared from view,
having reached a point in its track so
nearly in line with Sirius that its
faint light was overwhelmed by the
dazzling efulgence Of the dog star.
During the last six years it has travel
ed far enough to become visible once
more.

Falls Into Line for the Apostle of "Pro-
lection From the Buckeye State.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May S.-McKin-
ley had everything his own way in the
Indiana republican state convention
to-day. The forlorn hope of his oppo-
ncnts lay in the expectation that Har-
rison would address the convention
this morning and create such n whirl
OF enthusiasm for himself hat the in
tention to instruct, so plainly shown
in the district meetings the night
before, would be abandoned. Harri-
son, however, when a committee from
the convention waited upon him this
morning, politely declined the invita-
ton without vouchsafing his reason.
One of his friends explains it by de-
claring that Harrison stayed away
lest his action in attending should be
construed into an effort to influence
the action of the convention.
The fight was SO one-sided that It
was carried on with comparatively lit
tie enthusiasm. The Instructions
and they were very binding in their
nature-were contained in the plat
form. They created 4 brief period OF
cheering when presented, and this was
met by counter clamor. They We're
passed by a viva c vote, with about
two-thirds Of the convention voting
for them and the other third giving
voice to their opposition with lusty
lungs.
This done, the convention pro-
ceeded to elect the delegates-at-la-ge
by ballot.
Ex-Secretary of the Navy r. w
Thompson, Gen. Lew Wallace, c. W.
Fairbank and T. VI. Millikin were
elected. the first two by a~cclamatiOn
and the Others by ballot. Mr.. Fair
banks. who has generally been con-
sidered the next United States nj
tor, had a narrow escape of IS votes
from defeat.
The preliminary work thus finished
the convention dived into the work of
nominating n governor, with - men
in the field, and spent the rest of the
dav in balloting, the following ticket
being the result of the days labor>:
For governor. J. a. Mount: lieuten-
ant governor, John W. Baker: secre-
tarv of state, W. d. Owen: auditor of
state, s. c. Daley; state treasurer, f.
j. Scholtz; attorney-generat, W. A.
Ketcham; reporter supreme court,
Charles Z. Remy; superintendent pub
lie instruction, Il. NJ. Gsctin-; state

w VIEWS OF II.

An Ohio Man Thinks Mckinley's Calling
and Election Sure With No Chance of
His BeIng Defeated. While Mr.. Aldrlch.
of Illinois, Thinks 1t Is AnybOdy's Fight
and Can't Sec How Mckinley Can Pos
sibIy be Nominated.
WASHINGTON. May s.-The house
showed ore interest in the Indiana
convention yesterday than in the busi-
ness which came before it.
Il don't see how they can beat Nc
Kinley now" said Representative
Northway, of Ohio. The only uncer-
tain quantity is to be found in some of
the southern delegations. The oppo-
nents Of Mckinley have created a num-
Der of contests in the southern states
which may u US to lose some votes
there. l think, however, that we can
throw out all the contested cases from
the southern states and still nominate
our man without difficulty. There are
get 100 delegates to be chosen. Seven
ty-ive of this number are certain to
be for Mckinley. They alone will Off
set our losses in the south, while there
will be some additions. No, l don't
see how Mckinley can be beaten"
Congressman Aldrich, of Illinois,
who is an ardent champion of Speaker
Reed, does not agree with the Mckin-
ley men that the Endorsement of the
Ohio candidate at Indianapolis yester-
day definitely settles the matter.
''Of course, said Mr.. Aldrich, it
would be folly to say that it is not dis
couraging to have a number of states
all in one week indOrse Mckinley.
We wish it were otherwise, butt we are
not willing to concede that Mckinley
has a walk-over; far from it. BY what
authority can anyone say that Nc
Kinley will have a majority of the
votes? According TO Mr.. Manley's es-
innate, made public last Monday morn
ing, Mckinley was then credited with
27j votes. Since hen we concede that
he has captured IA in California, four
in Indiana, six in Michigan, two in Il
linois and ten in Missouri. That
makes So. does it not? Those added
to the 275 we gave him increase his
strength to 81. Now, let us sup
pose. for the sake of argu-
ment, hat he secures II more
votes in Indiana in addition to
the IL which we have allowed him.
That makes 325. 1t is not unlikely
that Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Ne
vada and Wyoming. all silver states,
will throw their strength to Mckin-
ley. They have 81 votes, which will
swell McKinley's figures to 81. That
leaves him 100 short of a majority.
Now, where is he going to get the re-
mainder?
The contest isn't settled by any
means. 1t is still anybody's fight"
You don't think, then, hat the sit
uation at the present time takes any
OF the candidates out of the race?"
NO one except it be ex-Presldent
Harrison. and he, as is well known, is
not a candidate. All the others, SO
far as l know, will continue to 0e in
evidence"

Organize to Resist the Regular Party
Machinery Oh the Currency Question.
CHICAGO, May 9.-The committee of
five hundred of the honest money"
democrats of Cook county held a
rousing meeting at the Palmer house
headquarters last night to take action
in view of the antagOnistic attitude
of the regular party machinery of the
country on the monetary question.
Bankers and merchants and promin-
ent politicians were present and the
county central committee was bitterly
denounced for allying itself to the
Altgeld and free silver forces of the
city and state.
Ex-Judge Moran, a leader of the
sound money democrats, made SEN
sational speech in which he accused
Gov. Altgeld of being crazy against
President Cleveland, and for the free
coinage of silver. 1t was unanimously
decided to give the executive commit
tee authority to make a vigorous cam
paign against the machine to carry
the primaries and see that the vote
was fairly counted. 1t was also de-
cided to extend the sound money" or
oganization throughout the state by
means of a committee of prominent
democrats.
