ence of the Lord is desired that he may
provide for us and relieve us of these
temporal anxieties. But there are also
persons who are exceedingly anxious
about the bread of life. They want to
be saved but they can not feel that the
question is settled. Now nothing will
give us peace so oon as to be con-
WINGED that we have the presence of
God in our hearts. And nothing
brings more distress than to be con-
WINGED that the spirit has ceased to

a. Again the presence OF God gives
rest from sorrow. In the hour of be-
reavement it is the only source of true
comfort, you shall not be destitute of
consolation. Though the fig tree shall
not blossom nor fruit be in the vine.
you shall rejoice in the Lord, and JOY
in the God of your salvation. His pres
ence is more than a substitute for any
creature; it can more than repair every
loss. If we halt amid the busy scenes
of life, and look back to our days of
youth. and think of the friends of long
ago, we can not help but think Lover

They have passed beyond our view.
Some have left us because of the want
of principle, others have moved we
know o. where; others still are lying
in the cold grave. What changes time
will bring.
And then when we think of that s
cred little circle which gathers around

that have no vacant chairs. How few
unbroken family circles there are. But
let us ever remember that the pres
ence Of God shall go with us to comfort
us. II these lights be extinguished in

RAINY DAY REFLECTIONS.

A drizzling rain caused yesterday to
be a very quiet Sabbath and diminished
the attendance at the various churches.
A goodly number took in the excur-
sions to Pittsburg, Cleveland and other
points, but in the city there were but
few visitors to the park and other SUBJ
urban resorts, as it was too wet for
comfort, though after the morning
shower there was no heavy fall of rain.
1t was a great day for the newsboys,
as people being kept indoors by the
weather bought nearly everything Of

If we lean to our own understanding
we err and go astray. The Christian,
therefore, seek guidance in God and has
rest His prayer is, Lead me in Thy
truth and guide me, for Thou are the
God of my salvation The answer sent
back from heaven is: 1 am the Lord,
thy God, which leadeth thee by the way

OF God extends to our daily lives as well

are not to look for anything of a mirac-

he has reason to exclaim, MANY there

Christians. How is he to prevail

wALTHoUR's ACHIEVEMENT.
From Messenger Boy He Has Climbed
to Worlds Champion.

Atlanta Ga, Dec. 1S.7The news of
Bobby Walthour's victory in the six
day bicycle race was received with en-
thusiasm by hundreds of his Atlanta
friends
Seven years ago Walthour was a BIZ
cycle messenger boy for Harry Silver
man, an Atlanta tobacco dealer. Today,
at the age of %, he is the worlds cham

es. Beginning at the beginning. riding
day and night Trough the streets of
Atlanta on a d~ilapidated wheel that
n like an ice wagon, he learned
the lesson of endurance that has stood
him in such good stead.
Bobby Walthour's success is due en-
ttrely to his own efforts and his grim
determination. He had no money and
few friends when he first started out,
and the first years OF his career were
full of hard Knocks. But he never ad-
mitted failure was possible, and today
he is a worlds champion
Walthour is married and has two
little baby girls. His marriage was
quite romantic. In 1897 he met and fell

SHUTS OUT CRAFTERs.
Delegates to Board of Agricul-
ture Must Be Bona Eide.

An opinion has been given by As
sistant Attorney General West that no
agricultural society or farmers or
ganization is entitled to representa-
ton in the state meeting of Kansas de-
partment of agriculture unless it is in
c~orporated and has made monthly crop
reports to the secretary of the state
board of agriculture.
Every winter when the time rolls
around for the annual meeting of the
state board of agriculture people who
want a free trip to Topeka with their
expenses paid while they are having a
gOod time for q few days., attempt to
get in as emberS of the department
of agriculture. The statutes provide
that regular delegates shall have their
railroad fare and their expenses paid
while in attendance at the state meet
ing, u it also provides that the dele
gates must come only from regular
agricultural societies which make crop
reports monthly to the secretary of the
state board.
The annual meeting of the board of
agricultural works like a Sunday school
Christmas tree on some people,. They
take no interest in the work of the
board through the whole year until the
time for the annual meeting rolls
around. Then they organize themselves
into a armers institute. or something
of the sort, and elect themselves as del
egates to the state meeting, expecting
the state to pay them for it, and they
put in their time having a good time.
The state board of agriculture is al
ways GLAD to have regular farm erS' or
CARNATIONS send delegates to the state
meeting, but it objects to grafters who
do not really represent the farmers and
whose main object is to have a good
time at the expense of the state. Every
possible effort is made to get a large
delegation of rea1 farmers to the state
meetings. The state board of agricul-
ture is pr-e-eminently the farmers spe-
cial department in the entire state gov
Politics has nothing to do
with it whatever. The officers and the
members of the board, or trustees, are
elected by the farmers themselves, and
the professional politician has no pull
in it whatever.
Once in a while a politician tries to
work himself in as a representative of
a farmers organization. If his reports
have not showed up each month at the
secretary'S office, he claims that they
got lost in the mails, or makes. some
such equally plausible excuse. Come
times he makes the board believe his
story and he is accordingly seated and
draws his mileage If he rides on a
pass he is that much ahead.
1t is to cut off his class of grafters,
who do the state board of agriculture
no good, that an opinion was asked of |
the attorney generals department, and
Judge Vests opinion shuts them off.
