ToPIc.-The Christians confidence. Sam
xii, Ii. c9-S7; Pct. l, 80.
The psalm contained in this twenty
second chapter of ii Samuel is similar
to the eighteenth psalm. 1t was un-
doubtedly written by David at the most
successful moment of his life, when he
had made of Israel an empire, firm and
secure 1t is full of thanksgiving to God
for what He had done in bringing about
such glorious oonsummation. 1t illus
trates the fact that the Christians con-
fidence is in God. This is always the
case. 1t is God who is the Christians
refuge and strength, whether that
Christian be king upon his throne or
humble servant of the master in
lowly walk in life.
l. The Christian has confidence in
God for this world. This is illustrated
in David's psalm. 1t was for present,
temporal blessings that he extolled Je-
hoyah 1t was for these things that he
had put his trust and confidence in God.
We should learn as Christians to trust
God for all things even in this world.
1t may seem to us that we could manage
for ourselves in this life If God would
only look after our future welfare. This
is false philosophy. We need to trust
in God for all things and at all times,
for the most common, ordinary things Of
life as well as for great achievements
and accomplishments, for life. health,
strength, daily food, daily happiness in
the home. daily success in business
daily grace for the worries and perplex-
tiles of life. When great calamities
come, we seek refuge in God. When
weighty problems confront us, we seek
Gods direction and guidance. We
should go to Him with all things and
trust Him for all things
2. The Christian trusts God for the
life to come This fact is taught in the
passage from Peters epistle. blessed
be the God and Father Of our Lord Je-
sus Christ, says the apostle, 'who, ac-
cording to His abundant mercy, hath
begotten us again unto lively hope by
the resurrection Of Jesus Christ from
the dead to an inheritance incorruptible
and undefiled, that fadeth not away,
reserved in heaven for you, who are
kept by the power of God through faith
unto salvation We trust God for this
world. We trust Him also for the world
to come. To the natural mind there is
no explanation of the future and no
prospect of future happiness. The most
that the human mind unaided can do is
to hope that the soul may be immortal.
God has revealed to His people through
His Holy Spirit that there is life be-
yond the grave and a life of happiness
to those who are His. AS God fulfilled
all our expectations when we trust Him
for the things of the present life so we
may rest assured that we may trust Him
implicitly for the future life.

Under present conditions it is very
necessary that church members be pro-

reached perfection. Too many are nat

holding before them high ideals--in
short, to provoke them to good works. -

Explosion at Sparta

Yesterday says the Democrat, OF BAKER
City Ore, Stage Dri,er Beggs brought
the news to this city Of fearful mining
accident which occurred from a powder
explosion at Sparta in the Ollie Wood
man mine, which is operated by Colonel
Frank V. Drake and Portland asso-
ciates. .-T
The probably fatal explosion took place
shortly before noon. Jack Toomey, a
miner who is well known all over the
Baker gold district, formerly an employee
at the Virtue mine, was the victim of the
deadly dynamite. Mr.. Toomey was so
badly injured by a rock which struck
him in the breast with awful force that
when the stage left Sparta for this city
at l o'clock yesterday his death was
expected at any moment as the surgeons
could offer no hope of his withstanding
the shock of the terrible wound he re-
ceived.
Mr. Toomey is about 50 years of age
and miner OF skill and experience. hav-
ing followed this occupation nearly all his
life since reaching manhood.
AS far as can be learned no blame is
attached to anyone for this fearful ac-
cident, ii being recognized that there is
always more or less unavoidable danger
in the work of delvinS underground for
the precious metal and that premature
powder explosions may occur in spite of
all that human care and foresight can
provide
Mr.. Toomey is d man of open hearted
and noble, kindly impulses and his sad
end, for II is likely he is dead ere this
writing, will cause sincere sorrow to
many a heart in all this section.

The Discourse BY Rev. William M
Paden.
AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
THE SOLDIERS MOTTO, This
ONE THING I Do.~
Simplicity and Directness Something
That This Age Lacks-Attention
to Duties Is the Essence of Faith
fulness The Discipline of ''Going
Without"

Rev. William NJ. Paden preached al
the First Presbyterian church last
night on the soldiers duty. His ad-
dress, in part. was as follows:
mo soldier on service entangleth
himself with the affairs of this life
II Tim, ii, 4.
This text might be taken from a SOL
dier's book of discipline, it is So full
of military directness. Condensed il is
the old Greek maxim, Simplify thy
self"
The chief aim of a good soldier is to
serve his country, and to do this we'll
his head must be free. Other worldly
pursuits and avocations must go by
the board. No man, least of all a SOL
der, can serve two masters. His mot
to must ALWAYS be, This one thing 1
do" We need more of this simplicity
in everyday life.
Our age lacks this simplicity. We
carry too much unnecessary baggage.
Social entanglements, business COM
plicatiors and mental perplexities en-
gross our attention and waste our
strength. Instead of doing one thing
and enjoying it, we are troubled
about many things and doing nothing
in particular. Simplicity finds out
what it ought to do and does it with
out swerving. Moreover, it puts the
main thing in the saddle.
The man who is loyal to his calling
as a soldier need not be in doubt con-
corning his duty. Simple aims or 10y
alties make simple duties, and atten-
ton TO these duties is the essence of
No man who worketh
will entangle himself. He will travel
light. He will minimize his wants and
simplify his pleasures. He will under
go the discipline of doing without"
The religion of Christ is as simple
as his character. Most of the so-called
perplexities and complexities of faith
have come to or through men who
have insisted on taking Christ's relig-
ion apart and putting it together
again. They might as we'll try to i'm
prove our conception of motherly love
by Analysing it.
Not that everything is plain and
easy in this world. But there is a
thousand times more that is simple
and plain than we ever make use of,
and we simply stultify ourselves when
we have plain paths. to entangle our
selves in the wilderness. No man that
warreth so entangleth himself.

HE FOUND A GOLD MINE.
An Iowa Sportsman Meets With Good

! H. n. Smith. of Davenport, Ia, was
at the Brown Palace hotel yesterday on

Concerning the Carissa mine, in the
South Pass country, in Wyoming, in
which George w. Keel of this city is
largely interested, the Clipper of Lam
der says:
Attorney E. H Fourt went to South
Pass Wednesday to meet Salt Lake
parties and transact legal business. He
returned yesterday.
Upon Attorney Fourt's return from
South Pass q Clipper penciI-pusher
called upon him and inquired about
the mines of that place, and more par
ticularly of the Carissa, of which so
much has been said recently. Mr..
Fourt stated in substance that the Ca
rlSSa mine was being worked with a
fairly good crew of men, and that Mr.
Van Sickel of Chicago, the principal
owner in the mine. was there with a
mining expert, Major Allen. They had
made a thorough examination of the
property and were much pleased with
the work done and the situation gener-
ally as they found it.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Van Sickel
to push development work as rapidly
as possible, and will put in new and
improved machinery to facilitate the
work. Mr.. Van SickeI is not making
the mistake that is so often made in
the developing of new mines, by build
ing large and expensive mills before
they have ore to grind, but instead
viii put their money into development
that will show what they have.
Mr. FOurt further stated that the
prospects of the Carissa. and, in fact,
all the mines of that country, was most
hattering. Mr.. Van SicheI and Major
Allen spoke enthusiastically of the pos
sibility of the country, saying that a
railroad was all that was needed to
bring the South Pass, Atlantic, Miners
Delight and Lewiston mines to the
front.
Mr.. Van SickeI is a wealthy Chicago
man, being member of the Chicago
board of trade. He is a thorough bust
ness man, and his interesting himself
in the Carissa is a great deal for the
South Pass country. he being the. prin-
cipal owner, and he is not hampered
by any syndicate, as is usually the
case in the opening up of mining coun-
tries.

Z article published in an Arizona exchange,
as follows:
There are some men in this world who

/ OF these latter is Mr.. Luce of Cargo
Muchacho. Luce's experience reads like

wide awake when we arrived there,
though il was after II p. m, and storm

THE La SAL MOUNTAINS.
Four Feet of Good Ore Found at La
Sal Pass

The Grand Valley Times says: An as
say office at Moab is one of the needed
additions to the business Institutions of
the town. 1t would save many long de-
places.
An unusually heavy storm began on the
mountains the first of the week and has
kept uD more or less severe since and
has been serious drawback to develop
ment and prospecting work going on on
the mountains.
AS fine a sample of free milling ore
as any we have seen was brought in this
week from the mountains south of La
Sal pass. 1t is from four foot vein
lying across the wagon road to the old
saw mill site on the south end. A. F.
Barbour. whose ranch is a few miles be-
low. is interested in the claim. Assay re-
turns have not yet been secured. but it
is estimated by those who have examined
il by means of powdering in a mortar
and panning that it will exceed SIS a ton
in gold.
