SHORT SERMONS.

Jesus. philosophy was to let the body
alone and attend to the elevation Of
our thoughts.-Rev. F. E. Mason.
There is in the nature of man a de-
sire for immortality. It is impossible
for natural desire to be in vain
Archbishop Williams.
A doctrine that holds that certain
human beings are to be eternally blest
and others lost is diabolical and bias
phemous.-Rev. I. P. Coddington.
Strongly and magnifcently as the
church must affirm Christ's manhood,
strenuously must it contend for His
divinity as well.-Dr. G. H. Coombs.
If there is one thing that I rejoice
In it is that Christianity is a joyful
religion. It is the most harmonious
religion in existence.-Rev. w. H. Car
wardine. II .. -.-- ~
Formed from all the peoples Of the
world we have become an organic
people, fixed to the soil and politically
independent, and, therefore, sover-
e1gn people, with sovereign interests
Rev. DR.. Conaty.
II soul and man unite only for
period, to be separated and brought to-
gether again at some uncertain future.
in manner unknown, we are without
rational proof of immortality.-Rev.
Mary B. G. Eddy.
In religion .nine-tenths of the race
are under the despotism of the dead.
Not one out of a hundred devotees of
any religion can give any reason for
his opinions; and practice beyond this:
Dead men did it''-Rev. B. May
Mills. ILL.,:
The materialist assures us that the
animating principle of mans being, his
so-called spirit or soul, is merely a
product of matter, or a refinement of
it. It has and =can have 10 separate
existence without the boy.-Rev. C. w.

times he is twirling tho reel and feeding
the henps to tn lengthening strand.
When his reel is full he begins again. or
winds the strand off upon another reel
Of larger size. All the while he is huln-
ming a tune. sometimes one Of the tunes
the American bands play On the plaza,
and again the songs Of his home.
CrispO lives in one Of the little nipa
houses hat hug the railroad track. 1t
does not amount to much. as far as
architecture goes, but it is his home and
he is happy there With his family and
his guitar. Crispo is married and he has
children about him that arc as straight
as children grow. At night they listen
to his songs, as he tWangs his guitar and
sings to them in the Talalog tongu
about the ancient and chivalrous days.
Often he tells them stories of the ghosts
that ride in white boats on the bay at
night when there is a storm upon the
waters.
Rope making is an industry at which
many work. The machinery used is
primitive, but the finished articles the
workers turn out is smooth and strong.
There is no way of cheating in this work.
The hemp comes in bales, as it leaves
the plantations. It is taken out to the
street, where the work is done and where
the spools are. for the first process. Time
and practice are needed to learn the
knack of keeping the reel going around

ator backs slowly away as the strands
grow in length. and when he has gone
as far as he deems necessary he begins
| to wind up the cord that he has spun.
!, For the next operation II spools of this
cord and another machine are used. Thf
machine has L. ranks at one end ant
two on the other. When tlle-strands are
e laid, if the rope is to be a long one, sup
ports are erected about 80 feet apart
/. These are to keep the strands from
twisting and tansling as they are spul
e about. Two men stand at the upper eno
: of the walk and face the man who il
turning the II strands. Each has twt
$ c~one-shaped pieces of wood in his hands
f and in these cones are six grooves
through which the strands run. TIL,
It operator at the strand end turns hi
wheel to the right and the men at tn
+ other end reverse the operation. Th,
y strands begin to twist and grow smalle
q and harder, and at last the two men viii
n the cones start with their toes. In from

operators are TWO. 1t is a slow wall
from one end to the other. and it is har,
t work to keep the strands whirling AM
the machinery going until the two rope
are complete. When all is done the fin
ished object is a rope the size of a clothe
line.
II If a larger rope is to be made the oper
alton is repeated with as many strand
as desired, according to the thickness o
the rope wanted. The process is tn
same, but cones with larger grooves ar
used. The rope may be made of an,

such a novelty that it took the town.
Such faces had never been seen, such

What did Gibson do that other artists
had not done? He drew a girl in a

How does a girl carry herself? Ask

LIVERPOOL cotton buyers con-
tinue to pin their faith to the 12.-
600, 900 bale crop promised by Mr..
Neil. They point as confirma-
ton of his estimate to the rapidity
with which the new crop is coming
to market. Later they will learn
that the weather conditions that
matured the fruit so rapidly were
those that wrought disastrous re-
suits which cannot much longer be
ignored in the markets. Texas has
lost by flood and by drouth a
larger percentage of the crop than
other states, but generally through
out the south the yield will be be-
hind that of last year.
