GRAND AVE. BAPTIST CHURCH.
An Especially Fine. Praise Service Last
 Niuhf-yrhn Pa Stnr,s AddraaS

,.. Night-The Pastors Address An exceptionally fine musical pro- gramme was given at the Grand avenue Baptist church last night. It was musical evening, or an evening of song and thanksgiving, and the regular quartet of the church was assisted by a double quartet of well known local singers. The several anthems and solos were rendered in an artistic manner and they were all enjoyed by the large congregation present
 The difficult accompaniments were splendidly played by the regular organ ist Miss Antoinette Brett.
 The pastor, Rev. Dr. IT, W. Stone, al- though just having recovered from a severe illness made a fine address on the topic "The Tales of 1901." He said that this past year has been very eventful one In the lives of many and that there were, of course, many things which had happened which we would like to change if it were possible. We are, however, not able to change even the dot of an or the cross of Tn the Lambs book of life, and all that has gone by is recorded and will re- main as it Is until the end of the world But there Is still time for us to look back and consider well the things which have been wrohg and which we can change before we so hence and be no more seen. There Is still time and opportunity to do things in the remain ing days of this year which will be of great importance to us i'll the future. Many of us have lived until three score years and still there are things which we are going to do and which we put off from day to day until the first we know this time has heightened into years and there Is not the opportunity. One of these things is the giving up of ourselves to God and to His holy will. It Is not too late yet, and we can still begin to tread the straight and narrow path, Consider we'll how quickly after the first of the new year of 1901 we be- gan to talk of the Christmas season of the same year, and now we have come to that and passed 1t and in few hours will be on the brink of yet another year. Take time to consider well and govern ourselves and our ac- tions after we have well considered the coming years of our life and the possi- biities.

4 BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE.
Paid to Mrs. Mattle Smith Clouse l.
 Innnshnrn Tenn.

Paid to Mrs. Mattle Smith Clouse in
 Jonesboro, Tenn.
 A beautiful tribute was paid Mrs. Hattie Smith Clouse, formerly of this city, who died in Jonesboro, Tenn, on December 21. It was written by the pastor of the Zap tist church in that place and appeared in q paper published in the place in which she died.
 The following is an extract from the piece:
 As a child her life was full of sunshine: as q young woman she was the pride of her home and church. She was gentle and modest, aspiring. yet unselfsh to a degree that at once attracted all who were brought within the circle of her influence. She loved her husband and home with passion ate love- and as she told me q few hours before her death she only wished to live that she might serve her loved ones
 She was q devoted Christian worker serving as teacher and organlst at our church until her marriage, since which time she has been a member of Calvary Baptist church, New Haven, Conn. Her motto was: "He leadeth me-" and truly such a life was shaped and guided by an unseen hand. And now to the bereaved husband and family. I commend you to Him and His keeping who shaped her life and made it so beautiful.

us into His fellowship, and enter the new year in the strength of that fellow ship and with new purpose of service. Christianity gives us a new sheet with which to start.
 He came to my desk with a quivering
 lip;
 The lesson was done.
 "Dear teacher, I want new leaf," he
 said,
 q have spoiled this one"
 I took the old leaf, stained and plotted, And gave him new one all unspotted, And unto his sad eyes smiled:
 ''Do better now, my child" I went to the throne with a quivering
 soul,
 The old year was done.
 Dear Father, hast Thou new leaf for me?
 have spoiled this one.''
 He took the old leaf, stained and blot

 And gave me new one all unspotted, AIlu lnlO Iuy Stu HSdll "Do better now, My child"
 And one more danger the dead past has for us, the danger of past achieve ment; for past achievement is dead and helpless as Is past faiulre. Sometimes this subtle danger shows itself as for malism. It may be creed or phrase of prayer or form of habit. Once 1t was instinct with life, the form for q spirit within. The life is gone now, while we humble the words or repeat the form. There is no more subtle dan ger. But no experience of past service or past fellowship with God no mere past conviction of faith, is worth any, thing. Only that which is now living reality, binding us to God in love and shaping our life in present service, is or avail We must find the Lord in the living present. Sometimes 1t is the danger of standardization. The good is the greatest enemy of the best and "no man Is good who is not growing better" It is not the achievement of life, but the direction of life that counts, not what we have attained, but our present earnest purpose and effort The past. however glorious, was but an empty tomb for the disciples. Not backward, but forward they must look to find their Lord, forward to Antioch and Corinth and Rome forward to 9 larger life of truth and service. He goeth before you into Gallilee.' No man keeps step with Christ except as he marches onward. Before us He goes, into the new year, toward new duties and new privileges. And It is ours to leave the tomb of the past and to follow on.
