Tho Triumph of the Bible,

In spite of all persecution and oppo-
sition the Bible is the most popular
book in the world to-day. The long
est Geographic message that ever
flashed across the American continent
on the wings of electricity was mes
sage of $4,000 words of the Revised
New Testament from Matthew to Ro-
mans, sent in 1881 from New York to
Chicago to be printed in the great
Chicago dailies.
In 1900 only about 100000 Bibles
were in existence, and these iu forty
languages. Now there are more than
241, 100000 Bibles scattered over the
world in at least 800 different Ian
gusges. In the year 1904, the British
and Foreign Bible Society was form
ed since then thirty similar societies
have been formed. Think of it!
Thirty societies controlling millions
of money and employing thousands of
men in the work of publishing and
distributing the Bible. OF what other
book can this be said?

How to Deal With Difficulties.

1t is said that John Wesley was
once walking with a brother who re-
lated to him his troubles, saying he
did not know what he should do.
They were at that moment passing a
stone fence to a meadow, over which
COW was looking.
"Do you know" asked Wesley,
"why that cow looks over that wall ?'
"No," replied the one in trouble.
81 will tell you," said Wesley; "be-
cause she cannot look through it, and
that is what you must do with your
troubles--look over and above them"

Back Yard Flowers.

Don't confne the flower beds to the
front of the house. Have some near
the kitchen door, where the busy
housewife can see their blossoms in
the little breathing spells "between
times"
These flowers she will enjoy all
day, and every day, because they will
be companions of her daily life, but
the flowers in the front yard she will
only see occasionally. She will make
formal "calls" on them, and between
her and them will be the usual "com-
pany" feeling, but with the back yard
flowers it will be entirely different,
and when she gets a few minutes
time to spend among the beds near
the kitchen it will be like "dropping
in" to gossip with the neighbor next
door. 1t will not be necessary to ring
the bell, or leave a csrd--just "pull
the latch-string" and snake yourself
at home"
Flowers are cheerful, helpful things,
and the sight Of their bright faces acts
as a tonic on the tired housewife.
Therefore, plant some of them where
they will do the most good, and that's
near the kitchen door.

While the aggregate capital of all
these illegal combinations is almos,
three billions of dollars, they do not
include the railroad combinations
and pools, and scores of other con-
spiracies against the law and general
welfare.
The time is near at hand when in
dividusl enterprise will be crushed
out, and the class who has made our
country what it is will become the
clerks and servants of these comblna-
tons and live in tenant houses instead
of homes.
Capital in country when honestly
employed is an estimable benefit, but
when employed to degrade the people

A Penny For the Lord.

At one of Philsdelphia's we'll
known and best attended churches
Sunday morning, silver plates were
used for the first time in the collec-
ton of contributions. Formerly the
congregations offerings were dropped
into small crimson bags attached to
the end of a rod; but upon Snalyzing
the collections it was found that the
most popular contribution was the
cent. For example, one of the larg-
est offerings on a festival Sunday
contained 727 pennies, 422 nickels,
100 dimes, 80 quarters and 2 half dol
lars.
The penny for the Lord has become
traditional. So long has il been sane
toned by custom. that the practice of
contributing the smallest coin to the
American currency to, the upbuilding
of the spiritual kingdom has extended
to the Sunday Schools and churches
of the United States. But despite the
Scriptural exhortations about the
simplicity and modesty of giving,
dropping a penny into the concealing
folds Of bag is very different mat
ter from placing it in a cold-blooded
frankness upon the shining surface of
q silver plste.--Philsdelphia Times.

STERLING. KENTUCKY TUESDAY. APRIL 1899
Consider This.

The Winchester Democrat publish
es the following:
"a reprehensible practice, and one
that seems to be growing, is that of
using the closing minutes of divine
service in getting ready to leave the
building. A glance around as the
benediction is being pronounced will
show numerous heads ducked down
while hands are struggling with OBJ
durate overshoes under the benches.
Other hands will be extended aloft,
effecting an entrance into an overcoat.
This is not only thoughtlessness, but II
doesn't look right. 1t we really had
the reverence for the service OF God
that we affect we would not do so.
The benediction-the asking of Gods
blessing on what has been done, and
on the assembly-is the most solemn
part of the hour of worship, and COM
mon decency would suggest that it be
given a reverential hearing. We be-
lieve it is thoughtlessness rather than
irreverence for these things, and we
hope that this calling of their stten-
ton to it may cause the nuisance to
be abated, at least to some extent"
This should be read, remembered
and carried into effect.

Was a Prophet As Well As q
Statesman.
BE Predicted Just What Has
Come to Pass.
FACTS WORTH YOUR TIME.

Wendell Phillips was not only
statesman and patriot, but as time
passes on it must be admitted that he
was prophet. 1t is not yet 70 years
aince his death, and these words OF his
are now being fulfilled:
"The great question of the future is
money against legislation. NY friends,
you and I shall be in our graves long
before the battle is ended; and unless
our children have more patience and
courage than saved this country from
slavery, Republican institutions will
go down before moneyed corporations
Rich men die, but banks are immor-
tai, and railroad corporations never
have any diseases. In the long run
they are sure to rule Legislatures and
legislation"
This great soul, who had fought the
accursed institution of human slavery
foressw the coming of an eviler day.
He felt that it would be conflict he
tween right and wrong in different
form than southern slavery, but far
more dangerous. He lived long
enough to see the growing power of
organized banks, and of railroad
combinations, but he died before the
deadly trust had begun to strangle the
energies and threaten the welfare OF
the people. Long since his death have
sprung up the following conspiracies
