Man Who Has Worth.-We must
bend all our energies to save the
worthy, to increase his kind, for, while
anarchy may do away with all govern
ment, socialism with private property,
communism with classes and dlstinc-
tions-nothing can make worthless
man as good as the man who has worth.
Prof. NJ. NJ. Mangasarian, Social
Ethics, Chicago, III.
Meeting the Multitude.-Have we got
strength and inspiration for meeting
the multitude and for helping them up
to the better life? This is all we can
do for Jesus now. He is in heaven
The multitudes are left here for us to

terrain, Atlanta, Ga.
Life Controls Death.-Death does not
control life, brr life controls death. Man
is in the world lot TO die, but to live,
and God is in the world that he may
give man the more abundantly. Death
is really but a circumstance, an cA-
perience, transition, a something
within life. Death has only the power
over the dying part of us not over the
living part of man. Death is not spo-
ken of in relation TO the soul. but in re-

recognized when men can help it-God.

and then surrendered. The light is now

Humanity. Sometimes humanity
presents the very extremes of temper
ament and disposition. AS these meet,
they often wonder concerning the kind
of motives and nature of thoughts that
dwell in the secret of the other mans
soul. The variety that differentiates
every man from all his fellow-beings
is very great. Every face looks as
though cast in a special mold. Every
voice has its unique quality of tone.
Yet beneath all this many -sidedness
there is similarity which proclaims
humanity one. In the book of expert
ence we come to recognize that all pass
through chapters of pleasure and pa
thos. -Rev. c. Woelfkin, Baptist.

contractor who built the Christ Episco-
pal Church, the handsomest church edi-
fee in la Crosse. has filed a petition in
bankruptcy. Her liabilities will foot up
to $4,000. with no assets. The building
of the church three years ago caused
Mrs. Mead's losses. She took the CON
tract at a very low figure, while old con-
tractors avowed she could not build the
church at that price. The yestrymtn of
the church were congratulating them
selves ON their good luck. When the
church was little more than half finish

more money The bonding company and
vestrymen had to finish the church. Mrs.

SATURDAY NIGHTS BANQUET.

The banquet at the McDermott hotel
on Saturday evening. rendered by Hon.
Lee Mantle to the republican members
of the legislature. WAS indeed a thor
oughly enjoyable affair in every partic-
ular. All bur one or two members were
present with their wives and friends. to-
ge1her with a hundred or more ladies
other points, who participated in the
welcome to the guests of honor. Ii
was. of course, a thoroughly republican
gathering. and many and eloquent and
hearty We're the sentiments of love for
the old party and loyalty to its princi-
pies which rang out during the five hours
devoted TO the banquet board, but which
seemed scarcely more than that many
minutes.
Mr.. Mantle may Well feel compli-
mented by the many kindly references
to himself made in the responses py the
guests While the tenor of all the
speeches made by thosS not members
of the legislature We're in recognition of
the conservatism, the unity and the dig
nitied course which has been pursued by
the republican minority.
The visit of these gentlemen, many OF
whom are residents of the agricultural
and stockgrowina- counties, cannot fail
to be productive of good. for aside from
the personal and social phases of the
Measurable occasion, they have been ac-
corded an opportunity of gaining brief
but comprehensive view Of the immense
industrial enterprises being carried on
at Butte and Anaconda. That they have
returned to their Legislative duties with
vision broadened by what they nave
seen cannot be doubted. for they are in
telligent gentlemen who are animated
BY a sincere and earnest desire to legis
late for the best interests Of the whole
state and for the equal protection Of all
sections and all classes.
From a political standpoint the meet
ing Of the republican members Of the
legislature with the republicans Of Butte
and other sections cannot fail of good
results for the sentiments of amity and
good will and restored harmony will not
end with Saturday nights banquet.
Like the waves caused by the pebble
thrown in the water, their effect Will
expand and widen until their inspira-
ton shall have reached the further con-
fines of Montana. The spirit Of hopeful
ness is strong among republicans in the
state. The old party is reunited, ana
out of the valley of division and defeat
| in which it has walked for the past four
years it viii surely rise to new triumphs
| and increased honors.

The essential qualities of a great
speech are truthfulness and candor. No
man ever made a great speech who did
not believe what he said and was not
animated by a high purpose in saying it.
No man can successfully appeal to the
patriotism of this country, who is not
himself a patriot ready to uphold the

gallant Americans marching under its

and advancing the cause of civilization
wherever destiny has imposed such oh
legation. In view of the recent verdict of
the voters of this country as to the
American insular policy, it would seem
that men like Mr.. Towne would take the
hint and help rather than obstruct the
government in it's course, but he appears
to belong to that class of men who never
forget anything and never learn any
thing This may account for the fact
that on recent occasion he announced
himself henceforth democrat.
