The Name of Jesu'.

The Name of Jesu.
Weary and spent and fainting,
For bitter had been the day,
And rough the road had travelled,
At the foot of the cross | lay.
No prayer could my spirit utter.
No word my white lips frame,
With only a breath there fluttered
From my famished heart the Name.
The sweet, dear name of Jesus,
| whispered that-no more;
But straight there thrilled an answer
Deep to my beings core.
Soul of my soul was lifted
BY the wondrous strength that came
In an instant. swift from heaven,
At the mention of the Name.
The tears that from my weakness
Fell slowly, one by one,
Were dried by the gentle touch Of him,
The Fathers equal Son.
Twas God who stopped to help me,
Whose help dared to claim,
When out of the depths | whispered
The mighty, conquering Name.
From the foot of the cross, then on
ward,
took my way at length;
Not now in pain and feebleness,
But on from strength to strength.
For love had given me courage,
No foe my face could shame,
By faith my soul had spoken
In its hour of need the Name.

writer in the Philadelphia Times. No

always looks as if she had made

that there is no magic in that, because
1t is simply due to the manner in
which she puts herself together and

luck, never pins faith to weakened

Ponds upon common pins to do duty

Alternating Power of Sin.

Sin brings separation from God. The
word depart" uttered to the workers
of iniquity, is not an arbitrary one.
1t voices a law Of God that runs
through all his moral realm. Sin
pushes the prodigal away from his
home and friends, his property, his
pleasures, his reputation, his character,
even his clothes and his food. The law
of the word depart" has driven him
away from everything that was beauti-
full and Of good report Behold him in
his rags and loneliness feeding swine.
Think it not strange if that man is
driven from God and goodness who
yields himself to sin. BY a changeless
law or moral repulsion he is pushed
away. Is it hopeless? Yes, as long
as his back is toward God. But let him
come to himself" let him feel his sin
and degradation, let him long for home,
for forgiveness, for his fathers face,
and the law of changeless love takes
hold of him. The law of divine attrac-
ton draws him then to God and good
ness.-S. S. Times.

How to Use Sache..

1t is always in good taste to use
sachet for the clothing. provided one
uses the right sort. Violet heliotrope,
rose and clover are all right. Sandal
wood is too violent, but little can be
used provided discretion is shown.
Stronger odors are tabooed. Dainty
sachets are made of bits of wide rib
bon. Several of these strung on baby
ribbon are nice to hang over the hooks
in ones closet.

Practicinc the Presence or Cod


There lived in the middle ages a lad
named Nicholas Herman. He was an
awkward youth. breaking everything
he touched. One day the thought was
brought home with great force to his
mind that God was everywhere, ana
that he might have the constant
thought of His presence with him and
do all things to His glory. The thought
transformed his life. He soon after
wards entered a monastery. Here he
was assigned, as his daily duty, the
mental task of washing the kitchen
kettles ana pots. But, to use his own
expression, he practiced the presence
of God" in his humble toll That
kitchen became so holy place that
men took long journeys to meet Mich
olas Herman and to converse with him

have been published under the title Of

TIE ADVANCE DREpGE.
Beginning of New Era in the Mining
 Industry of Yuma County.

Judge C. Goodwin, superintendent for the Uric Machinery company of Kansas City. commenced work last Tuesday with large force of men on the hull of big dredge boat for the Advance Gold Dredging company of Colorado Springs. which corporation owns large deposit of Sold-bearing gravel in the PothOleS district. twelve miles above Yuma. on the Colorado river.
 This dredge when completed will cost S55.OOO and will be the largest and most perfect machine of the kind ever built in the United States. Un- derfavorable conditions this machine will dig and wash 1000 cubic yards of gravel in twenty-fOur hours. and as the ground upon which it will he operated carries an average of 70 cents per yard in gold the net profits from it's operation will be more than S1OOO per day The company has ground enough of known values to keep this dredge at work for the next ten years. A force of proSpectorS are now at work testing another large tract of ground and if the values come un to the expectation of the prOmot- CTS at least q dozen more dredges of the same capacity will he placed in operation as soon as they can be con Structed.
 While gold dredging is a new in dustry in Arizona there is no reason why it should not be a success. The gravel banks in many places along the Colorado river contain immense values in coarse gold with every con ditiOn favorable to successful opera ton by the dredger process. Unless all indications fail Yuma county will within the next three years be contrib uting at least S5.OOO.OO0 annually to the circulating mediums-Yuma Sun.
