7 know It and YOU know it. This morn

know it, and you know it. This morn
ing in the sunshine of Gods love and
divine grace we look up into the face OF
our heavenly father and cry: "Appa,
father" Man goes out of this world as
poor as he came into 1t; that is the ply
sical condition, but with the spiritual
how different. and we know that when
he doth appear we shall be like him.
This is the greatest revelation made to
man. Like him-what an aspiration to
gain. Above all earthly glory, above
angel and archangel. We shall not be
satisfied until we awake in his likeness.
The eye of faith beho,ds him and in hope
we press forward toward the mark OF
our high calling. BY the eye of faith
we see him asvery God and as very man.
In heaven we shall see him as he is and
was--in his glory. Let us live that we
may become more like him, that we may
be transformed and worthy to stand be-
fore him and see him In his glory.

The Liebig Smell.

Mr. EDIToR:-The Liebig concern is as
fragrant as rose compared with the
stencil produced by decaying animal mat
ter combined with vegetable growth in the
bitches beyond Market street bridge. It Is
a subject for all kinds Of inquiries from
the Board for Health whose business it
certainly is, as it Is in the city limits.
Why 1t has been permitted to exist no one
could tell, after paying visit to this dis
ease breeding district.
The Morning News states that man
was made sick in the city recently. No
one will wonder at that statement who
would take a look at the poisonous malar.
Ia producing filth right at our doors.
Why arc these bitches permitted to bs In
this condition. The only answer is that
the parties owning this property do not
have to do anything. Their Interest lies
IN another direction than looking after
he health of the people who are exposed
to Its influence The remedy Is thorough
drainage of the marshes, for as 1t stands it
is veritable death signal. 1t demands the
llumediate action OF the Board of Health.
The health of the people demands it. Get
a move ON, gentlemen. RI.

cans uniting on the same candidates at
the coming city election, By 90 doing
they will eyince q modicum Of common
sense. BY copclliation, they may control

policy. By proper concession last fall, a
great deal Of bad legislation and disgrace
would have been saved the State. The
election of the Democratic candidates
should prove lesson that should never
be forgotten Hereafter such suicidal
