GOVERNOR ODEIJ,

when Governor Roosevelt rose to extend
formal greeting to Governor Odell.
Governor Odell remained standing while
Governor Roosevelt addressed him, and
at the conclusion Of the latter's remarks
he delivered his inaugural address.
The oath of office was then admins
tered by Secretary of State John T. Me-
Donough on a new Bible purchased for
the occasion.
Governor Odel's inaugural address was
IN part as follows:
with the assumption of responsible
ties come doubt and uncertainty which
even the applause and good wishes of our
friends cannot entirely dissipate. Espe-
cially is this true of him into whose
keeping is placed the administration of
the affairs of our commonwealth. New
York, an empire in itself. with its vast
population, its many and diverse inter
ests, demands from its chief executive
the greatest conservatism, wisdom as to
its needs and that its business affairs
shall be transacted with economy and
good judgment.
Under our form of government, when
the will of the majority has been ex-
pressed, we should forget our partisan
ship in our desire to uphold and strength
being we have clothed with authority
and upon whom the responsibility for
the proper enforcement of our laws is
placed.
1.-THE burdens of taxation should be so
adjusted as to fall lightly upon those
who can i'll afford to bear them and be
borne more generously by those who have
received from the state protection and
rights which have given to their vast
business interests the success that they
deserve.
Coordination in restraint of individual
rights should be curbed and welcome
extended to all whose energy and genius
will add to the luster and fame of the
Empire State and aid us in upholding our
business and commercial supremacy.
''If in the performance Of these duties
! shall in measure be as successful as
have so many of my predecessors; if up
on the threshold of a new century, with
all of its possibilities, the positive and af
hrmative action of the incoming admins
tration can aid in solving those great
questions which so much interest us,
shall feel as much pride in the contempla-
ton of such results ms you do, sir, as you
look back upon the success which has
attended your administration

would have climbed at early dawn
Up the steep hillside, toiling where
The paths led on through sun and shade,
Till had won its summit fair;
I would have kept mine own rash will,
When, 10! He whispered me:
"Ee still"
would have rested at the hush
OF eventide, by some ca i'm stream,
And there, with folded hands, content,
Lived o'cr again ife's cheekered dream;
But, ah! through twilight's deepest ray
His clear voice thrilled me,
Whispering "Nay."
o God! thank Thee; have learned
That Thine unerring will is best;..
At Thy command, that rest is toll,
That, with Thy presence, toll is rest;
Content, through bright or shadowed way,
At Thy sweet will to 60
Or STAY.

Never Despair.

How apt we are to forget that though
clouds overcast our sky, the. sun still
shines, that behind these trials and at.
flictions, which are "but for a moment"
lies the blessings most needed. He is His
own interpreter, and He will make plain
what seems dark and mysterious now: In
His own good time He will deliver.
Never despair. Perhaps it is to make
trial of our faith that we are tried, or to
show us our dependence upon e higher
power for support in trials. The world
offers no hope, it cannot satisfy the soul
that has tasted of the powers of the world
to come. When tempted, tried, OF desc
late, to such a soul He is indeed "the
shadow of great rock in weary land"
Some one has said: "The Lord never. takes
anything from US, but with the design of
giving US something better" We have
had this verified in our own life. Our
plans have come to naught. The work of
months of patient toll has yielded moth.

ready to despair almost, but the "why
and wherefore" was made plain to us in
His own time, and compensation came IN

Christianity Religion Of JOY.

Every morning paper comes to us with
a shock, for we are sure to find in its very
first columns the names of those who dur
ing the preceding twenty-four hours have
"rashly importunate" gone to their death.
The fact is that we are passing through
a period of spiritual depression, and all of
Gods people ought to feel some response.
bility for keeping up the cheerful tone of
life to which the Master has called them.
Christianity is a religion OF joy, and it
can only be we'll represented to the world
when it's children live up to their privil.
eyes. We must not permit men to find
duty to live not only blamelessly, but hap
peace which Christ gave to His people as
a parting gift the world has not taken
from them. Christians have no moral
right to 60 through life complaining, fault
finding and apprehensive. Down in New
England they have an old wives. provenb
to the effect that: ga great deal is laid to
the nerves which comes from the devil"
and the world is very likely to judge after
that manner. the peevishness of Gods
people. Our best friends may say for US,
as the little boy put up the plea for his
dog when he had bitten neighbor: "He
don't mean anything by it; it is only a
way he has got" The truth is that we
are responsible for our ways, which be-
come part of our character. No farmer
is responsible for the first thistle-seed; (;
but he is at fault for the crop Of thistles
that follows undisturbed. eve cannot
prevent wild birds flying over our heads,
but we, can keep them from making nests
in our hair"
It is the privilege of the Christian to live
near his Lord. No one can so live and be
permanently unhappy. Happiness is made
up of content, gratitude and hope. The
fret is ours when we realize that the sta
tion in life we occupy is the one chosen
for US by our Heavenly Father. The bur-
den we bear, apart from its relation to
our possible sin, is the one He thought
best for us to bear. But beyond mere con-
tent we can all find positive reasons for
grateful love. Every life has its own
proyidences which may exciteiwohder. and
which ought to inspire praise9s But most OF
all, the sweet hope of blessed and holy
immortality is enough to support the most
tempted soul who cherishes it, and comes
to know its power. 1t is the presence and
the glory of the world to come which en-
ables us to bear the evils that we know
rather than as some who fly to others
that they know not of. 49,.

God to show to the too often depressed
and despondent world that "Our Rock is

"Oh, kill me not" the robin said;
".Although my breast is deepest red,
A nest have in yonder tree,
A mate, and downy birdlings three;
For food, alas! they'll cry in vain,
If I, the parent bird, am slain!
ooh. kill me not" the Hnnct said;
<I carol softly overhead;
Nv silvery music. soft and clear,
Full many an aching heart doth cheer
On, could you hush my voice so gay,
On this clear, happy morn IN May!
ooh, kill me not" the sparrow said;.
"On errands dear my wings are spread;
Ny song may not be sweet or clear,
But stay with you all the year,
And build beneath your friendly caves
My little nest of straw and leaves"
"Then kill us not" each warbler said;
"But love and cherish us instead,
Ard all your kindness we'll repay
Ey useful task and sweetest lay.
One tender voice is hushed and still
Whene'er a precious bird YOU kill!'
