The presentation OF 1.-The Flowing
Bowl" by the Thespian club last Monday
night was huge success, both in point
of attendance, for the Opera House was
crowded. and in the excellent manner in
which the play way produced. The char
acters we're all very well represented and
all acted their parts to perfection, The
audience was more than pleased and ire
ouently showed it's appreciation OF the
efforts of the actors by enthusiastic and
hearty applause. The play will likely b'
produced at Calumet in the no distant
| future.

Topic For the Week beginning Dec. 81.
Comment by Rev. 5. III. Doyle.
ToPIc-onc spiritual truth have learned |
this years.. xc, ILL
The Ninetieth Psalm is one Of the |
most interesting Of the Psalms. Ii is so
because il is the most ancient OF all,
having been written by Moses. 1t is in
teresting also for its sublime character.
1t deals with the eternity Of God and
the mortality Of man in this life. 1t
suggests retrospection. $50 teach us to
number our days that we may apply
our hearts to wisdom" is its prayer,
based on the fact that human life is
short and uncertain.
The only way to read the future is by
the past. AS we stand at the close OF
the year and recall its successes and Its
failures, if we want to improve upon the
past the best way is to be guided by what
it teaches us. We should number our
days. We should recall the past, that
we may be wiser in days to come. The
strong points of last years life and char
acter will be the strong points OF the
coming years life and character. The
weak places will be weak unless, recog-
nizing them, we apply our hearts to wis
| dom and strengthen them.
| Experience is the best of teachers. 1t
Is so because it is divine teaching. God
Is in human events. He controls all
things. He speaks TO us through expert
ence, another name for His providences.
Experience is also demonstration. DEM
onstration is always better than theory.
Theories may be correct; facts must be.
They are the indisputable things OF life.
No one can successfully dispute them.
That which benefited US last year Will
under the same circumstances benefit US
this year. That which hindered us will
hinder us again. That which tempted
us will tempt us again. That which
| overcame us will overcome us again un'
less we stand more strongly against 1t.
Let us recall the past and learn the les
sons which experience teaches MS.
, What lessons may be learned from
one brief year, Each year is so mucf
like each other year that the whole
range of life is contained i'll one single
year. What lessons on the attributes
God, His goodness, His justice, His mer
CIV, His love. What lessons of faith am
trust and hope based upon the unchang
ing character of God and His dealing
with men. What lessons of warning
e warnings against sin, against indiffei
ence. against neglect, against procrai
tination, against worldliness What Les
0 sons Oh life--its brevity, the certainty
v its end, the necessity of being prepare
; for its close at all times. No year br
. that teaches important lessons upo
these all important subjects. Let
! number our days Let us apply OF
i hearts to wisdom.

Sioux Falls, S. D., says: Senator r. r.

tions. He says If there Is any attempt
to change the official returns so IS to
give a majority for Mckinley or tho
Republican candidates he will assist in
prosecuting every man connected with
such attempts.
