The Puzzles of Life,

The idea of the text is Just as true when
applied to Gods providence. Who has not
come to some pass in lfo thoroughly mex
pEcable? You say: "What does this mean?
What is God going to do with me nowp
Ho tells me that all things work together
for good. This does not look like it," You
continue to study the dispensation and
after awhile guess about what God means
He means to toach me this. think he
means to teach me that Perhaps it is to
humble my pride Perhaps it is to make
me feel moro dependent. Perhaps to teach
mo the uncertainty of life" But after
all 1t is only a guess-a looking through
the glass, darkly. The Bible assures us
there shall be a satisfactory unfolding.
'What l do thou knowcst not now, but
thou shalt know hereafter" You will
know why God took to himself that only
child. Next door there was household of
seven children. Why not TAKE one from
that group instead Of your only onep Why
single out the dwelling in which there
was only ono heart beating responsive to
yourss Why did God give you child at
all If he meant to take it away Why fill
tho cup Of your gladncss trimming il no
meant to dash 1t DOWN Why allow all
the tondrils Of your heart to wind around
that object and then, when every fiber of
your own life seemed to be inteplockcd
with the child's life, with strong hand to
tear you apart, until you fall, bleeding
and crushed, your dwelling desolate, your
hopes blasted, your heart hrokanY DO you
suppose that God will explain thatp Yen.
&c will make itplainer than my mathQ.

TOLD A DIFFERENT TALE.
Woman with -Four Children Received
Aims in Cuthbert Also.


The woman with four small children,
who appeared IN DAVIS N last week with
a story If desertion by the husband and
father, and was given several dollars by
kind hearted citizens with which to pay
the way of herself and children to Mont
gomery, stopped at Cuthbert and solic-
tied aims there, though telling a little
different story from The one with which
she touched the hearts and opened the
purses of the people in this town. Here
she said she was deserted in one of the
lower counties, and that she was trying
to get to her mother in Montgomery.
In Cuthbert she said that she lived in
this county and that it was here that the
unfaithful husband left her, and that her
destination was the home of a sister in
Montgomery. The Liberal Enterprise
says they were taken in charge at Cuth-
bert by the Epworth League and given
lodging at the Elder House, and that the
next day tickets to Montgomery were
furnished them by citizens.

The registration for the coming state
