While the pulpit resolves, the ga
loon acts.
It's an easy matter to master the
grief of another.
The sweetest thought to me Of all is
that Christ's il face that wants TO be
loved.
Christ Is the completion of character.
Without him every life is but frac-
ton. We need him to make us whole.
Dig down to the root of most of the
troubles Of men and women aud you
will find that they chiefly spring from
love Of the world.
1t Is not the space one occupies in
this world, but how he occupies 1t,
that God reckon when he takes meas
urements.
If we want to find life poor and mar
row, all we have to do IL to choose
shallow companions and read trashy
books.
What God longs for IL men ambi-
tious for His Kingdom. Such men he
Is ready to reward beyond our imngin-
ing.
II we take Christ for companion
we may have to give up some old
haunts and associates. For our life
must then be lifted 10 his level.

Amos B. Morse.

This world IL built OH the Keynote
OF every thing living forothers. Take the
lowest life. Grass does not grow for
itself 1t IL not the final object and
end of this majestlcal world. It's end
of being Is to digest the sand and rocks
and earth for higher beings which can
not he so nourisbed. Low life IL pro-
life beyond the power Of imagination
to conceive. Why? Not TO wholly
populate this world with protozoa aud
poilywogs, but to feed higher life. Big
fish eat the little ones in the divine or
der. Man cannot spend bis time di.
yesting grass. But the patient OK aud
leisurely COW can change grass into
beefsteak and milk that man can
swallow in ten minutes and go on eX-
ercising dominion over the mighty
powers of earth and sky.
The very best trait one can develop
is the art OF seeing only the good, the
perf-ct and the true. and these are dis
cerned from the God standpoint.
The man who lives without ambition
or without the hope Of making some
thing better out Of his life is practical
ly dead.
No man or woman eau "enter into
life" have eternal life, unless there Is
some unseliish service in their lives.
The unselfish service is what gives life
its chief interest, brings us into It's Rei-
nal, ,ines not feed us on husks.

Mistakes

We notice that Jim Til'man thinks that he
might have been elected. II The State and
other newspapers had not attacked him.
In this opinion We think Mr. Tillman 10
mistaken.
Il b certain that Mr.. Tillman has friends
among the soldiers who went 70 war With
him.
II is equally certain that Senators and men,
ber OF the House OF Representatives did not
approve Of bis conduct az presiding onicsr Of
the Senate.
Il 10 certain that Mr.. Tillman, when Lieu.
psnt-Govsrnor offended the moral sense OF
. large part OF his constituency By his pres
ence and conduct Ct various times
These circumstances would provo that Mr..
Tiiinan never had the ghost OF Q chance 10
DO elected.
The opinion han been 'axpressed. with, a
tar as wo have heard, . single exception, that
the newspapers by their attacks on him 80
cured many votes for Jim Tillman. The Press
and Banner believes that Tillman was helped.
and not hurt, BY the newspaper attacks which
were too bitter and which assumed too near
the act OF dictasion.
The vote for DR.. Zimmerman, a. good
man % anybody, and against whom not one
word had bean said. did not recelve a many
votes @ did Jim Tiilman, against whom near.
ly all that could 30 said was said.
n Tiilman had been let alone, does nybody
believe that he would have run ahead OF DR..
Zimmerman.
Does anybody believe that Lstimer would
have dissanoed ali his competitors II they
had let him alone: In their hate. or
jealousy OF him. It looked a II they
had formed league 70 elect him. For
instance: At Q meeting where nve hundred
men were present, every man OF whom wonid
have been glad to receive halfdo1eu packages
OF seed. the candidates attempted TO ridicule
Latimsr for sending the seed. and. by implica.
ton at least, said substa nsiaily: "You elect
me 70 the Senate and you will never see an.
other package of seed"
Could any man on the face OF the earth
imagine moro unwise proposition 70 come
from candidates who were seeking tho votes
OF the very men who would be glad 10 receive
the seed.
Latimer is Q practical man. and II looks TO
an outsider. that II is possible he LAID the trap
into which his competitors stsiked. They
fought him on account OF the distribution.
while the people felt moro grateful TO him for
the seed than for anything else that he had
done.
We venture TO suggest that this IL the last
campaign against seed distribution.
