the previous right come in last if they
come in at all. Thank God we have
here and there a strong man to set
things right am so glad that when
God has an especial work to do he has
some one ready to accomplish it, Is
there Bible to translate, there is a
Wyclif to translate it; if there is a
literature tc be energized, there is a
Shakespeare to energize it; if there is
an error to smite, there is Luther to
smite it; if there is to be nation freed,
there is Moses to free it. But courage
is needed in religion, in literature, in
craftsmanship, in all spheres; heroics
to defend Jethro's seven daughters and
their fiocks and put to flight the insolent
invaders. And those who do the brave
work will win somewhere high reward.
The loudest cheer of heaven is to be
given Ito him that overcometh. "
How God Calls.
Still further, see in this call of Moses
that if God has any especial work for
YOU to do he will find you. There was
Egypt and Arabia and Palestine with
their crowded population, but the man
the Lord wanted was at the southern
point of the triangle Of Arabia, and he
picks him right out, the shepherd who
kept the flock of Jethro, his father-in-
law, the priest and sheik So God will
not find it hard to take you out from
the / 900, 900, 600 of the human race if
he wants You for anything especial.
There was only just one man qualified.
Other men had courage like Moses; 9TH
er men had some of the talents of
Moses; other men had romance in their
history, as had Moses; other men were
impetuous like Moses, but no other man
had these different qualities in the exact
proportion as had Moses, and God, who
makes no mistake, found the right man
for the right place. Do not fear you
will be overlooked or that when you
are wanted God cannot find you. He
knows your name, your features, your
temperament and your characteristics
End in what land, or city, or ward, OF
reighborhood, or house you live. he
will not have TO send out scouts or ex'
plorers to find your residence or place
of stopping, and when he wants you he
will make IL as plain that he means you
as he made 1t plain that he needed
Moses. He called his name twice, as
afterward when he called the great
apostle of the gentiles he called twice,
saying, nSaul, Saul, " and when he
called the troubled housekeepef h6 CALI
ed her twice, saying, "Martha, Mar

ing, Samuel, Samuel, and now when

fight the regiment had gone into ac
ton by order of its colonel and not
under that of General Jackson. The
Fifth Regiment then fell back to tho
brigade and the whole brigade ther
fell back to the position behind the
woods, where it was reformed and
started on its final charge.
Referring to the action Of the BIRD
regiment at the Henry house, as told
by Captain Grabil that General
jackson said; ''The work Colonel
Cummings regiment did to-day was
worth the loss ofthe entire regiment,
Captain Bumgardner said he perso-
nally knew nothing of what had oc-
cured ut that time at the Henry
house, or in what engagements other
regiments might have been in, but
he had always heard the Bird Vir-
ginia very highly spoken of and that
if Captain Grabill is authority for the
statement he makes. it is so.

following you, was the answer that
came back. The fact is that they were
both lost and had gone round and round
in a circle. Then they talked the mat
ter over, and, looking up, saw the north
star, and toward the north was their
home, and they started straight for it.
Oh, instead Of initiating men like our
selves aud ciroiing round and round, let
us look up and take some starry guide
like Moses and follow on until we
join him amid the "delectable noun
tains. " You say You cannot reach his
character. Oh. no. Neither can you
reach the north star, but you can be
guided by its heavenly pointing.

BICYCLES NOW GO FREE AS BAGGAGE.
It's probably not generally known
and will be interesting to wheelmen to
know that when he wants to travel now
he can take his bicycle with him, and
the railroad, on whose line he is to travel,
will transport his wheel free OF charge.
This was made possible by the pass
age of a bill by the last session OF our
Legislature, as an amendment to section
1902 Of the Code Of Virginia. 1t reads
as follows, In part:
Bicycles, including the usual tool
bags, but exclusive OF other appendices,
such as lamps, cycIometers, bells and
so forth, are hereby declared to be and
be deemed baggage for the purpose CT
this section, and shall be transported as
baggage on the same term, as other
baggage for passenger, by railroad cor
porations and subject TO same liabilities.
and no such passenger shall be required
to crate. cover or otherwise protect any
such bicycle and appendages. provided,
however. that a railroad corporation
shall nOy De required TO transport under
the provisions Of thi, act, more than one
bicycle for q single person.

It is impossible for the system
to withstand the demands made
upon it just at this season, with
out the assistance of a good puri-
flying and strengthening tonic.
The changes which Nature DEGREES

so severe that a breakdown is
almost sure to come. it is wise
that all possible assistance be
given during this period, as upon
this purifying process depends the

There lies dying at Hawarden, Eng

that ever lived since the ages of time
began their roll. He is the chief citizen
of the whole world. Three times has he
practically been king of Great Britain.
Again and again coming from the house
of commons, which he had thrilled and
