Holy Spirit Leads to Europe.

The great point Of the lesson is that
the Holy Spirit led Paul and his party
consisting now OF siIas, who vas a
preacher OF fine ability and sterling
character; also Timothy. who afterward
became, as it were. PauTs successor in
the ministry. and Luke. who became
Paul's biographer and the first church
historian out OF the continent OF Asia
to the greater continent OF Europe. This
was no choice or forethought Of the
missionary band, but by the Intent and
determination OF God. God determined
that Christianity should become occi-
dental rather than oriental; should lay
hold of the intellect Of Greece and the
force OF Rome, and spread among Yeriie
and practical races, rather than be re-
tarded in its growth and influences by
the dreamful, effete, and moYeless East.
God makes no mistakes
The Holy Spirit restraints and con-
strains Every Christian should be as
sensitive as the strings CT an AeoIiau
harp in regard TO the influence of the
Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit should be
the sovereign guide OF our lives. The
greatest loss the church has suffered IS
the loss of the consciousness OF the
presence and supreme authority Of the

STRONG MAN OF PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY
MI, William Vermions Great Feat Of Strength New
Statistics on Lightning = Strange Nickname of

A well-known clerk in one OF the

rival Of Bob Fitzsimmons IN the person
OF q brawny young man who lives just

following is his description Of q re-
markable feat OF strength performed by

A Sensible Youth.

Poets may sing and essayists
may write about the heart in con.
nection with love, but the stomach
mustn't be left out of the calcu.
lation. Sentiment is all right in
its place, but appetite holds a Win
ming hand in many cases. David
Garrick declares that "Heaven
sends us good meat, but the devil
sends cooks" which cynical line
was probably written after he had
tired to eat q badly-cooked roast.
Recently a young German cou-
pie applied to New York magis-
trate to be married, and the youth
full swain thus gave his reasons
for loving the girl:
sid vas a case of lofe ad der
firsd dinner. | go py her house
undt poard NIT her fadder. She
coog der dinner undt id vas sooch
a lofely cooging dot | foil in lofe
righdt away alretty."
There spoke the honest and sin
cere male animal. Not q word
about lovely cheeks, divine form,
angelic sweetness and ravishing
manners. Probably the girl didn't
know the difference between Wag-
ner and Won Moltke, and couldn't
distinguish sonata from a cav
airy call. She may not know any
thing about style, and may care
less, and it is quite possible that
she has never shone at pink teas
and other social functions, but she
understands ''cooging," and that
hit young Hans right where he
lives. His heart may be princi-
pally stomach, but it is in the right
place.
Some may be disposed to laugh
at the young mans reason for
failing in lofe righdt away al
rettty,' but his head is decidedly
level. When he comes in from
work he may not hear a piano or
catch the eye of an exquisitely-
dressed parlor ornament, but he
will sit down to some "lofely
cooging,'' and the wife who pre-
pared the dinner will be more at
tractive to him than would be-
jeweled fairy presiding at table
on which was scorched meats and
soggy bread. Hans. chose well,
for fact.-Montgomery Adver-
tiser.

OUsAS. PARISH OF ST LANDRY SEPTEMBER
The Election.

The second Democratic primary
to nominate candidate for Con,
gress for the Seventh District
took place last Wednesday, and
Notwithstanding the efforts of a
few soreheads to prevent the
voters of this parish from partici-
pating in the election, fair vote
was polled. As far as heard from,
leaving only II polls not yet re-
ported, the vote in St. Landry
stands as follows: Pujo, 1876;
Blackman, 1874. At most of the
polls not heard from no election
was held.
The indications are that the
vote will be close between the
two candidates, with Pujo in the
lead, according to the returns
thus far reported. The only fig
ures obtainable at this time, 3
O'Clock Friday evening. as to the
vote in the other parishes in the
district are as follows (though it
must be remembered that most of
these figures are estimated, not
oficial):
Acadia-Pujo, 400; Blackman,
40; Calcasieu-Pujo, 1900; Black

Campaigning Without Platforms.

A recent Mississippi law for
bids the nomination of candidates
for Office by convention, requiring
their selection by primaries in
stead. AS result of this law the
State campaign is now on without
party platforms. There are three
candidates for Governor, and each
is making his own platform. One
bases his claim on the authorship
of the primary law, another stands
as the avowed enemy of trusts,
and third favors division of the
school fund between the two races
in proportion to the taxes paid.
1t will be interesting to see how
this plan works out. It has its
advantages over the old system in
some respects. The platforms,
being of the candidates own MAX
ing, ought to be regarded as
more definite pledges than are the
declarations of the party, to which
the candidates merely subscribe.
It has often been noted, more par
ticularly of late, that convention
platforms are meaningless things,
to be used for political effect, and
then forgotten or remembered as
it suits the pleasure of the admin
istrators. But when man makes
his own platform and is elected on
it, he should certainly feel under
deeper obligations to carry it out.

Following the present politicaI

It is seldom that our people

such literary treat as will be
given at Sandoz Opera House

liver his famous lecture. Here
is what the Washington, D. c.,
Evening Star says of this lecture: ::
''The lecture was delivered
without notes, and apt interpola-
tions dispelled all impression of
labore1 memorization. Through
out it was full of poetry and phil
osophy, lighted by brilliant wit.
The interest of the audience was
not of that casual and languid
sort so commonly yielded to a
lecturer. The applause with
which the lecture was approved
time after time was not the sort
that is marked in the manuscript
"please insert" It was sponta.
neous, earnest and deserved, and
showed the influence exerted by
the lecturer over the judgment,
the imagination and the emotions
Of his hearers. The thought rum
ming through the lecture was that
the proper and most profitable
pursuit of man is happiness here
and hereafter, and that this hap
piness is to be found in the APP
probation of the blessings in
reach, however humble, rather
than by following a fixed star of
for wealth or honors
which occupies the whole mind,
having no thoughtfcr the sources
Of true joy passed on the way"
