official duties for deacon it seems Il
me that we are left to mere inference
Even in the CO Sc of Phebe, the dea
coness, mentioned in Rom. 1871. the
request was ''assist her in whatsoever
business she hath need OF you; for she
hath been a succorer of many, and OF
myself also," says Paul. If "those
women who labored with Paul Sin
the gospel" spoken of in Phil. 4:3, be
as some think deaconesses, then we
have the further idea of laboring with
or helping the pastor in the gospel
work of the church. And certain it is
that these early deacons, especially
Stephen and Philip did this; but wheth
er they did it in the capacity of dea-
cons cannot be positively said.
Again the special qualifications of q
deacon being with q few excep-
tions, identical with that of the pastor,
might seem to teach that the good
degree" or step they purchase by
faithful duty is that confidence of God
and the church that reposes in them
the response bility of standing nearest
the pastor in the matter of minister
ing even the spec fically spiritual
affairs of the church. This much is
certain: Just as the president of the
United States needs bis cabinet to ad-
wise with, so the pastor needs faith
full well qualified cabinet with whom
to advise in regard to all interests of
the church. Who could more apprO-
priately be this cabinet than scrip
turally chosen board of deacons and
deacOnesses?
AS to the qualifications for deacons,
several are me ntioned in First Tim,
3. They must be grave" not light
and frivolous; mot double-tongued,"
must not talk to much, and especially
must not contradict themselves in
talking to different PARTIES or at diff
ferent times, mot given to much
wine;" mot greedy of filthy lucre," not
stipgy in personal appropriations nor
apt to get away with money entrusted
to their care; holding the mystery of
the faith in pure conscience" l, e,
but be t-uly converted and live apure
life; proved, "being found blameless,"
not that they should be without fault,
but without such fault as would call
down a legitimate censure or blame,
upon them, and prevent them from be-
ing of honest reports And then our
text adds, full of Holy Ghost and wis
dom. On the first of these last men-
toned the larger part of the whole de-
Ponds Full of the Holy Ghost"

but the further [ go into church life
and the more 1 see of church needs. the
more 1 feel that no pastor aud no des-
con is fully equipped with ''wisdom,"
or power to meet the de-
mands of his office,,unless he is ''full of
the Holy Ghost". o. brethren, God
knows 1 am praying daily that he will

that he will give this church deacons

Real Estate Appreciates Steddi-
Iy---The Municipal Authorities
Should Pave the Way Cleaner

It Is subject of general remark that
no city in the southwest OF similar size
shows such evidences of public I'M
provement as Ell Paso. A great deal
of money has been made by Individuals
and most of til EN- have spent 1T gen.
erously. But you will always have
few who will leave public enterprises
to the general taxpayer, who has MS
hands full as it il.
From the present Indications moth
ing can prevent FL Paso from becom-
ing city of fifty thousand inhabitants
within the present generation. There
are on foot now measures for the es-
tsblishment of industries which there
is good reason to believe will be car
ried OUT. That will at once place I'll
Paso beyond the rivalry of any city in
the Southwest.
Real estate 10 Ell Paso continues to
appreciate steadily in price and the
appreciation il not con fined to any
particular section of the city, but
seems to be all over. This certainly Is
healthy condition for the city realty.
To have a continuance OF this pros
porous condition the municipal author1-
ties must pave the way. Ell Paso
should by all means agitate the
question of cleaner streets. Certainly
our thoroughfares are not models OF
cleanliness, and immediate action
should be taken by the council, to
prohibit the ipdiscriminate throwing
of paper and refuse of every descrlp-
ton where it will be taken up by the
wind and carried in filthy and
mass through the air.

HON. JOHN STANLEY.

The subject Of this sketch, the
Hon. John Stanley. is one OF the
pioneers Of Skagway, Alaska. From
the moment he landed in the place
he was convinced that Skagway
was bound to be the metropolis Of
Alaska and the gateway to the
klondike. He opened the pioneer
blacksmith shop in the town and
thrived on the boom when horse
shoe nails sold for 81 apiece. He
early identified himself with public
affairs and has been twice elected to
the city council and has occupied
the position Of president Of that
body. He is energetic and pro-
gressive and has the esteem Of his
fellow townSmen.
