LET ME BE NOT TOO SURE.

Let me not be OF life's bequest too sure
Nor hazard on frail tomorrow's light,
But, answering days behest. forget Its lure.
Lest there shall rise stars upon my night;
Let me not rest on Joys improvidsnce
Nor build upon the fabric OF . dream
Nor times irsvocable coin cast hence,
However near its fair fulAllment seem.
Thou, who alone hast ward OF certainties,
Lot me not spend Of gift or grace too soon
Nor squander any sweet that therein lies,
But for high service keep the utmost boon,
Lest l shall be too sure seek TO prove

CITY HOSPITAL.
The New Surgical Carriage Has Arrived Other
Hospital Matters.

The surgical carriage which has been
so long needed for use in the now fe-
male ward at the City Hospital has
arrived. For long time the nurses
have been compelled. through the lack
of such an article. to carry the dress
sings needed for use in the ward from
one place to another in their hands.
This has caused much inconvenience
and mainly through the Instrumental
ity of Mrs. Nathaniel NoyeS the need
of the institution in this line has at
last been satisfied. The carriage cost
in the neghborhood of $40 and it was
paid for by subscriptions given by in
terested parties.
The success of the hospital is well
shown from the fact that large part
Of the time during the last few months
which is supposed to be the dull sea-
son the wards have been well filed.
The present is the time when business
begins to pick up and the increase Of
inmates is marked.
The NJ Club which has been fitting
I'D the children's ward is. completing
its work. OF late n large amount of
blankets. towels. rubber sheeting and
other necessary articles have been
added. 1t is expected that the work
will soon be completed.

know or respect no other ,aw than
their own chimera. Call them by what
ever name you may, they are nrofessed
enemies to all lawful society and for
it's overthrow, labor incessantlv and
even hesitate not to take human life
however necessary to the common
good. much less to imperil their own.
To thwart them in their unholy de-
signs the civil law has shown itself ia
be powerless. The Divine law they
have equally set at naught. This. l am
willing to believe, is because they eth.
err know it not or, at least. fail fully m
comprehend it. Religion is the medium
through which alone they can come To
this knowledge and proper apprecia-
ton OF it. Nothing so effective as re-
ligious teaching to touch and quicken
the conscience and influence the will of
mankind 1t was so from the begin
ming. it is even so now.
In the past it has brought order out Of
chaos and transformed the most law
less into the most law-abiding and
peace-loving subjects. Reverence for
authority. obedience to law, honesty of
purpose, and purity of life is the bur
den Of all her aims and aspirations.
st. Paul expresses this i'm plain
words: Let every soul be subject TO
higher powers. for there is no power
but from God, and those that are. are
ordained of God, therefore he that re-
sistith the power, resistith the ordi-
nance of God, and they that resist,
purchase to themselves damnation. -

Rev. Everett Lesher. pastor Free
Baptist church:
Anarchy must go. What sane and
patriotic citizen looking upon our
stricken President believes longer in
tolerating this fiendish monster of de-
law and civilization? Not only has the
attempt been made upon the life of one
of our most respected and loved Presi-
dents, but what is far more significant.
upon our government itself. Our Pres
ident is the legal head and representa-
tive of the government. An attempt up
on his life is an attempt upon govern
ment. 1t is treason. pure and simple
and should be dealt with as such
The national and state constitutions
should be so amended as to give an
archy its everlasting quietus. More
stringent laws respecting immigra ton
and naturalization should be passed
No meeting of Anarchists whether pub
lie or private should be tolerated
Every known Anarchist should be hur-
ried out of the land. Punishment or
imprisonment for life should be the
penalty.
How else can we protect ourselves?
How else can our institutions be pre-
served? We believe in liberty. but not
must be suppressed. From it's insideous
attacks we must protect and save our
selves.

me say that the problem confronting
us is so complicated and manysided
that 1t is impossible to offer a single
solution. 1t is as hard to deal honor

government. and whose cry is: Down
