paper in Denver. A paper that cannot

were both pronounced by Rev. B. E.

and we're masterpieces in their way.
A beautiful concert paraphrase of

letter in several papers explaining
some of the reasons why he will
leave the Populist party and join the

the same gentleman read himself out
of the Republican party in the same
manner. He has not changed but
the parties have shifted terribly.
Ny! how tickle and changsable are
these great national parties and how
consistent and substantial is Mr..
Smith!
He grows poetic at times. Speak
ing Of the Populist party having full
filed its missions, he says: ''The
rose has bloomed, has shed its beauty
and fragrance, then withered and
died. Let it be carefully pressed ir

TRUE AS GOSPEL

The capacity Of sorrow belongs rte
our grandeur; and the loftiest Of our.
race are those who have had, the pro-
foundest sympathies. {,
The man who is never tired never
knows himself. It issonly in the fur
mace heat that the soul learns 4tsFown
strength and weakness. -
Tact is a gift; 1t is likewise a grace.
tAs1 a gift, it may or may not have fall
en- to our share; as a grace, we are
bound either to possess or ACQUIRE it,;
Time, which consistent of parts, can
be no part of infinite duration or of
eternity, for then there would be no
infinite time past today, which tomor-
row would e'more than infinite. Time
is n thing and infinite duration is
another. e
Christianity, practically applied, has
the power radically to, change, the
whole aspect of our social life, and
to make social evolution peaceful and
profitable to all. No economic prin-
| ciple can for a moment take rank in
practical efficiency with the Christian
principle of love to God and love to
neighbor as to self.
A prolific source of wasted time is
the insufficient preparation that is
often made for the work attempted.
A very large proportion Of the suf5
fering of the unemployed at this time
comes from this cause. With thous-
ands of men and women asking for
work, 1t is as difficult as ever in many
departments to, find skilled and thor
oughly efficient laborers. Few we'll
