Serving Others.

The old conception of personal Chris
tianity was that il meant hardly more
than securing ones own salvation. This
was its principal aim. Being of spirit
ual use to others was involved, but was
secondary in importance. But now the
purpose Of service to others has assumed
the greater prominence, and it is held
that the surest way to secure ones own
salvation is to spend oneself in loyal eff
fort to win others to Jesus Christ. The
personal aim is not lost TO sight, but it
is pursued from O new point Of view,
and its relation to other motives is al
tered. This result has come about as the
result Of study and imitation of Jesus,
who came mot to be ministered unto,
but to minister" is, to serve. -

The family is enc Of the most blessed
institutions that has survived tho fall
of man. No names are dearcr than ia
thor, mother, husband, wife. And 10 tics
in life are stronger than the tics OF
home. But family tics are not limited
to ono flrcsidc, nor do the duties of life
end at the thresholds of our own homes.
The whole human race is one family
the family Of God. God is the father of
all, Jesus Christ is the brother of all,
and all men are brothers. The father
hood Of God and the brotherhood Of man
are equally taught in the word Of God.
The world recognizes the duties that
we owe to those who are members of
our immediate families, but often it
does not go beyond this. 1t sees no
reason why a Christian in America
should be interested in an inhabitunt of
Africa or of China and feel impelled to
do all that can be done for his neral
and spiritual bctterment. IL sees no
reason why nc should be interested in
the poor unfortunate who has fallen by
the waysidc as result Of intcmpcrance
and should try TO give him q helpful
hand TO better lifo Tho world ordi-
narily answers Gains question, Gam l
my brothers. keeper" in the negative.
1t says that every man ought to keep
himself; that if he cannot take care Of
himself he deserves TO perish; that every
mans brother has as much as he can do
to keep himself But even the selfish
world. under the influence of Christian
ity is coming more clearly to recog
nize the claims of common, universal
brotherhood.
Christianity teaches clearly that man
is his brothers. keeper; that he does
owe duties to every other man in the
universe who needs his help and whom
he can properly help. The common
brotherhood of man makes this the only
true answer to Gains question. All men
are brethren in Jesus Christ. This fact
should make every man interested in
every other man and willing and anx-
ious to help him in every time of need.
The common interdependence of man
should also enforce this truth. No man
lives TO himself in this world Every
one depends more or less upon some one
else in life. Nor does he know, though
he may be in what we call self support
ing circumstances, how soon the tide
may turn and it may be he who will
need his brothers. help. Could he ask
it, could he expect it if he had not as
sisted his brother in his hour of need?
God teaches this fact. His word makes
IL incumbent upon the strong to help
the weak, the rich to help the poor, the
successful 70 help the unsuccessful, the
fortunate to help the unfortunate. In
short, in every sphere of life God teaches
that every man is his brothers keeper,
and, moreover, that He will hold him
responsible for this relation TO his
brother.

CROPS WILL 4 o THE LAND.
Recent Rnins Make Even Late Corn
Absolutely Snfc.

FARNRM. Neb., July 21.-(Special)-A
continuous rain Of about four hours today
effectively settled the question of the earlier
portion Of the corn crop. Nothing is feared
now. even for the later cora. The wheat
harvest is in progress ard the most SAN
guine expectations of the producers are be-
ing excelled. There is considerable uneven
ness in the maturing of the grain, consid-
cradle green wheat in patches being inter-
spersed through the fields. The rye is har-
vested and within a week new wheat VIII
be in the market. Twenty bushels per acre
is conceded to be a minimum approximation
OF the yield which at 40 or so cents per
bushel will leave the average value of the
land, after deducting the cost of harvesting.
BENEDICT, Neb., July 21.-(Special.)-
This locality was visited by a fine rain last
night, amounting to eighty-seven hundredths
OF an inch. This will insure the corn crop.
Wheat Is now being threshed and is IN lking

BEAVER CITY. Neb.. July 21.-(Special)
The best rain of the season fell today. 1t
came at an opportune time, when corn is

NEW TESTIMONY FOR THE DEFENSE.
Mrs. White of Lyons Tells of Mrs
GoOHmnnsOn's pnins and Crnmps.

PONCA, Neb.. July 21.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The promised sensation in the de-
Tense of DR. Goodmaason came to the front
today in the evidence of Mrs. White of
Lyons, Neb., who stated positively that Mrs.
Laura A. GOodmanson. at her house in
Lyons, eight days before her death, COM
planned of pain in the region of the heart,
and also that she had cramping in the calves
of her legs and she, the witness, had to rub
her limbs. The pain in the region of the
heart and the rrampiag of the legs We're
identical with the pains from which Mrs.
Gocdmanson died and this testimony is taken
as g. confirmation of the theory OF DR.. Rolf
as to the cause of her death. Were 1t not
for the three-quarters of a grain of strych-
nine found in the stomach of the deceased
by Prof. Haines of Rush Medical college and
the undisputed symptoms of death by poison
the state would have nothing on which TO
further continue the prosecution.
DR.. Gnodmanson was placed on the witness
stand late this afternoon, but gave no testi-
mony of any importance before court ad-
tOurned.

EXETER. Neb., July 21.-(Special.)-For
over a month a bitter feud has existed be-
tween James Tracy and John Gibbons, two
young men who live three or four miles
south of town and whose homes are not over
three-quarters of a mile apart. The trouble
originated at a recent school meeting, but
friends prevented them getting together at
that time. Yesterday morning they both
came to town, and loaded up with whisky.
During the afternoon they met at Bcsack &
DowniEgs' livery barn, where they had PIT
up their horses. The proprietors were both
absent at the moment. Hostilities were be.
gun at once. aud they agreed to enter a
large double box stall and settle
the difficulty. There was a horse
in the stall so they called in
Charles Hull who happened to be with them
to act as referee and to look after the horse.
They had about finished the first round
when the proprietors returned and found the
doors closed. They soon forced an entrance
however and demanded that the pugilists
come out of the closed stall. Gibbons, ac-
companied by Hull. Immediately came out,
but closed the door so Tracy could not get
out and Gibbons forthwith mounted his horse
and left town for fear OF arrest. In the
meantime Tracy was let out and on emerg-
ing from the stall was seen to have a large
jackknife in his hand. He accused Hull OF
being an accomplish of Gibbons. and starred
in to do up Hull, but bystanders interfered.
lie then went to q tub and washed he
blood from his face. and after it had been
PATCHED up with court plaster he started for
home, but instead of taking the road direct
to his home he went around by Gibbons
home. He called young Gibbons out to the
road and renewed hcstilities. He was better
prepared with his knife this time and dur
ing this ARRAY stabbed Gibbons in the LETT
side, the blade entering between the fourth
and fifth ribs, penetrating the lower lobe OF
the left lung. A physician was called, but
could not say If the wound would prove fatal
or not until later developments. Tracy mas
as yet not been arrested.
jim Mcmillan was shot by his brother

either the result Of an accident
or the outcome of a quarrel. 1t

boys that they were fooling with a re-
volver, not knowing that the weapon was
loaded, and that during the scufle the re-
volver went off. The ball entered Jim's left
leg just above the knee. Doctors pTobed for
the ball but could not find it. No serious
results are looked for unless blood poison
ing sets in. Jim has only been married two
or three months. The other boy is single.
1t seems to be developing that the brothers
