good. A comparison particularly fit
ting was that of the disappointed man
and those whose lives had been marred

loved with all the affection of his great,
Ihrobbing heart. No one III his met hod
of teaching has ever followed any more
closely the example of the Master Than
did the Apostle Paul.
1t was my privilege while in at

convention ut Norfolk, Va, to hear
that matchlcss orator, preacher, teacher
and statesman combined, DIR. Y. l.. Nj.
Curry, deliver an address to Sunday
school teachers on ''Christ, the Model

impressions concerning Him who
spoke as never man spoke. And at
whose command the sky, earth and sea
and the fulncss thereof, seemed To
empty their treasures into Ills lap or
laid them ut Ills feet, and lie used
them all TO illustrate His heavenly
truths. The beauties of the flowers, the

the winds and the waves, were all used
To enforce and illustrate His messages

BACCALAUREATE SERMON.

There was n large and appreciatiVe
audience at the first Baptist church on
last Sunday morning, to hear the SER
mon before the graduates of the Bap-
tIst Female College, delivered by Rev.

The pupils OF the Baptist college oc-
cnpied the front pews in the middle
block while farther back in the same
block were the cadets of Wentworth
Military academy; on the speakers
right were the young ladies of Central
college. The young ladies of b. F. G.
looked charming in their dainty white
dresses and white hats with black
bands; while the members of the grad
uaIing class were atlired IN the regula-
tion Oxford gown and cap. The pupils
of C. +. C.. appeared equally bewltch-
ing in their charming costumes and
black Oxford caps; and the cadets of
w. N. A in their handsome military
uniforms presented fine appearance,
and received no less attention and ad-
miration than the young ladies'. The

these words, sung in a low tone, but
by Il cultured voice:
"Jesus, my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow thee;
Naked. poor, despised, forsaken,

Perish every fond ambition,
All I've sought and hoped and known;
Yet how rich is my condition
God and heaven are still my own.
"I,et the world despise and leave me
They have left my Savior, too;
Human hearts ana looks deceive me
Thou art not, like man, untrue.
And while thou shall smile upon me

God carried the truth sung to the

symptoms Left her.
She gained steadily in weight and

King, Of Ithaca, N. Y, was checked in
the course that was taking her rapidly to
the grave, and restored to her friends in
sound physical and mental health and
regained happiness.

old, is so great that when she reappeared

Miss King became greatly weakened
by complication Of physical troubles,
and was looked upon BY her friends and
family as one doomed to early death.

OF her strange cure as followsI
Hattie first complained of dizzineSs,

kidney disease attacked her. She was
pale, thin, and her blood, when drop was

Her heart was affected. She would

Congressman Vincent don't take any

A combination of circumstances made
it impossible for Congressman Botkin to
fill his dates at Kingman and Pratt last
week, and Judge Z. B. PfOst, of Kansas
City, took his place. Very compliment

The farmers of Judge McKay's dis

Republicans, who have been making
themselves believe that John w. Brei-
denthal did not desire the election Of
the Populist State ticket, were greatly
surprised when they learned that he
made speech at JetmOre last Saturday.
Their grievances increase as they get
information as to what he said.

The short crop of campaign material
in Republican circles has led to charge
that Populist speakers, who have can
