What Are You Reading?

No young person can afford to read
haphazard whatever comes to hand any
more than they can afford to eat and
drink anything chance may throw in
their way. Some plan should be adopted
and closely followed. To read nothing
but stories is to ruin the power of the
mind and spoil all appetite for more
healthful and valuable reading. Quality
should be more considered than quaint
ty. If one wishes to improve in mind
and character, close attention should be
given to the selection of the books to be
read. Life is too short and time too
precious to waste in the worthless. A
book which is not positively good and
helpful is inevitably harmful and waste
full of time and energy. Itwould be we'll
to have an evening in every chapter
when the members shall in turn tell
what they have read recently and recon-
mend what they have found of value.

Saints. Ancient and Modern.

1t is not to be supposed that because
we call them st. Peter and st. Paul
and st. James, etc., they called each
other by this title. At close view Paul
saw some things in Peter which he call
ed discrimination and rebuked sharply
before the company of Christians met
with them. Yet they were both godly
men, and we do no wrong in calling
them saints.
Perhaps at the present day our near
view of some gives us less regard and
appreciation for their piety than is real
ly deserved. Perhaps we are looking
for marks of sainthood not to be found
on earth in any age. Even Jesus had no
halo around His head until it was placed
there by artists, and then it was only a
canvas Sainthood means the indwell-
ing of the Divine presence in holy
thought and choice and feeling. 1t
means the faithful performance of daily
duty in accomplishing patience, how
ever humble the task may be. 1t needs
no winding sheet of flame to make one
heroic, no striving after the unattaina-
bic. Sanctity and saintliness mean now,
as they ever meant, loving obedience
to the will of God. Earth may never
enroll your name in this calendar and
write your name with holy prefix, but
if you live rightly God will crown you
with His glory in due time and all
eternity shall call you blessed.

Mrs. Thurston Did Not Believe She Would
Return Home Alive.

The ladies of the congressional circle
at the Cairo apartment house, in Wash
ington, where the Thurstons lived, say
that the late Mrs. Thurston had pre-
sentiment that she would not return
alive from Cuba, but nevertheless was
determined to go and would not allow
her husband to leave without her.

Der of ladies were sitting in Mrs. Thur

to see before her departure. She even
made a memorandum to assist the MEM

The symbol Of the Cross.

How strange thing it is that the in
strument of most painful and shameful
death should become the cherished en-
blem of purest faith and most devout
worship! Early in the Christian Gen.
turtles this sign of the cross was chiseled
on the tombstones Of the martyrs and
made prominent in the decorations OF
church buildings and articles used in
religious service. The lamb, the dove,
the fish, the shepherds crook and many
other devices illustrative of Scriptural
truth and having reference to Jesus
were early introduced. All have yielded
to the sign of the cross, and it remains
as the one significant emblem of the
Christian faith.

Lesson For the Week Beginnins Aprii ~.
Comment by Rev. w. J. Yates, A. M.
Topic. The Keeping Power Of God.

scRIPrURE REApNo.-I Pet. 1. 8; Deut.
xxxiii. q; lisa. lix. To-
kept by the power Of God through
faith unto salvation ready to be revealed
in the last time"
The salvation, though not seen by
men in its fullness, is all ready to be
unveiled before them. The time for its
full manifestation has not come. Plans
are complete, the figure of the perfect
man has been cast and reared aloft on
It's pedestal so high that all men and
angels and demons can see it, but the
covering is still over it. The hour of its
unwilling comes on, but is not yet. Tbs
people are to be prepared. BY faith
they are being made ready for the great
day While it delays the power of God
keeps them in hope, purifies them in
love, perfects in patience, leads in good
works and protects in dangers and de-
livers amid temptations.
1.-The eternal God is thy refuge, and
underneath is the everlasting arms"
Is the present pain so hard to bearP
Is the future dark with dreadp
Are sin and sorrow everywhere
Are you weary and hard besteadf
Do the pillows and tempest terrify2
Have the waves gone over the headp
There's refuge secure in Gods sweet grace
And comfort in His love.
His everlasting arms embrace.
He rules below, above
He gives His peace to troubled hearts
Like the brooding Of the dove.
Whatever may be the temptation,
however great the sorrow or pressing
the exigency, when all human sources
of help fail and all human reason is
baffled, God finds the way. MANS ex-
tremity is Gods opportunity. With
Him is no WEAKNESS. Our failures come
from our lack of simple trust in God.
1t is not that the difficulties of life are
so great that we fail; it is because we
fail to grow strong in Christ and rest in
His power We rely upon our own pru-
dence and sagacity and fail. What we
ought to do is to think clearly and act
resolutely so far as we know and sub
NIT all to God for His guidance never
wavering in faith, When the hour
comes for decision, some way - the
right way-will have opened, often
times in unexpected directions.
Cast your care on Jesus.
Trust Him to the end.

The team and a big crowd of riends
and rooters viii leave tomorrow morn

Capt. Pete Smith suspended practice
last evening and instead of the usual
signal work the boys were given a talk
on what he and the people of Ana
conda expect from the team tomorrow
in Butte. In the course of his talk.
Captain Smith said that he expected
every man on the team to play the
game of his life. and that the people of
Anaconda were going to Butte to see
them win. if possible, by playing good,
hard. clean football. The boys realize
that Butte has a very strong team. and
I'm order to win every man must be in
every play.
The team will leave on the 11:59
O'Clock train, accompanied by Presi-
dent Phil Daniels. Treasurer Rod WILL
