at shall be more tolerable for the land OF
SOdom In the day Of judgment than foI
Thee"
No man can preach the gospel and pro-
phesy only smooth things any more than
man can teach scientific truth and leave
out all the painful and dreadful things
in nature. In any just view OF nature 1t
must all be taken into account, and in
any just view OF the providence OF God,
everything must be taken into account
There are things in the moral realm
that are dreadful to contemplate, but de-
NAL no more alters the case than the
false confidence Of the consumpiive saves
his life. And to politely ignore these
things, as some preachers seek TO do, rs
infidelity to the highest obligation one
man can have 10 another.
Guilt is greater in greater light-that is
one Of the lessons Of the text. There is
no sin until there is law. aud with the
knowledge Of the law comes the obliga-
ton to obey It, and the guilt Of disobedi-
ence. This standard OF judgment gov
ems men in all their relations to each
other. We do not Judge children by the
same standards as adults, or Christians
as we do savages. ''TO MIN that know
eth to DO good, and doeth it not, to him
it is sin"
We find that there is n deliberate and
voluntary setting Of the viii against
truth and duty in every known violation
of law; q drawing Of the blinds against
the light Of truth and this means that
the man who is guilty, becomes with the
coming in Of light not only relatively,
but actually, q worse man. There Is q
commonly experienced difficulty in win
ming adults to Christ in our older com
munities, and the reason is that they
have been hardened against the truth By
long resistance Of II.
The doom Of impenitence limited in the
text is too terrible for imagination. more
lntolerable than that Of Sodom. Life ~ a

MEN WHO HAVE NO WORK"

''Sit We here while l so and pray yon-
der. Matt. 26;36.
1t is hard thing to be kept in the
background at a time OF crisis. In the
garden of Gethsemane eight of the elev-
en- disciples were left To do nothing Jesus
went to the front to pray; Peter. James
and John went to the middle to watch;
the rest sat down in the rear to wait
Methinks that party in the rear must
have murmured. They were in the gar
den, but that was all; they had no share
in the cultivation of its flowers. 1t was
time of crisis, time of storm and
stress, and yet they were not suffered
% work You and have often felt that
experience, that disappointment. There
has arisen, mayhap, great opportunity
for Christian service. Some are sent
TO the front; some are sent TO the mid
die; but we are made to lie down in the
rear. Perhaps sickness has come: per-
haps poverty has come; perhaps obloquy
has come; In any case, we are hindered
and we feel sore. We 90 not see why
we should be excluded from part in
the Christian life.
Thinkest thou that the garden of the
Lord has only place for those who wall;
and for those who stand? Nay, it has a
spot consecrated to those who are com.
PEELED to sit. There are three voices in q
verb-actiye, passive and neuter. 80
there are three voices in Christ's vert
ito live" There are the active, wrest
ling souls who go TO the front and strug
gle till the breaking OF the day. There
are the passive, watching souls. who
stand in the middle and report to Others
the progress of the fight But there are
also the neuter souls, those who can
neither fight nor be spectators OF the
fight, but have simply to lie down. When
that experience comes TO thee remember
thou art not stunted. Remember It is
Christ that says: "Sit We here. Thy spot
in the garden has been consecrated 1t
has special name. 1t is not the place
of wrestling nor the place of watch
ing but the place of waiting There
are lives that come into the world Meth
or to do great work nor to bear great
burdens, but simply TO be: they are the
neuter verbs; they are the flowers Of the
garden which have had no active mission.
They have wreathed no chaplet; they
have graced no table; they have escaped
the eye Of Peter and James and John.
But they have gladdened the sight of Jc-
sus. BY their mere perfume, by their
mere beauty, they have brought Him
JOY; by the very preservation OF their
loveliness in the valley they have lifted
the Masters heart Thou needst not
murmur shouldst thou be one Of these
flowers.

RECEIVED FIRST PREMIUM.
Our Public Schools Receive First
Premium for Best Educational
Exnibit.

The board of education of the East
Las Vegas public schools this week
received the certificate from the New
Mexico Territorial Fair association
awarding the first premium to our city
public schools for the best educa-
tional exhibit displayed at the Terri
torial fair held in Albuquerque last
fall.
Ihere was no special work done for
this exhibit and there was no appro-
priation made to defray the expenses,
and it is certainly gratifying to pu-
pills, teachers and patrons of our
schools, that the regular daily work
should merit the honor bestowed upon
it by the committee of the Territorial
Fair association.
The certificate is a Autograph 23x15

ing that the East Las Vegas public
schools received first premium for the

lishment of the firm at a Simon, ~.
NJ, from which place the news was
forwarded to this city. NO particulars
were given as to who the lucky finders

The communication. however, adds
that there was great excitement over
the discovery and that miners were
focking into the district from other
camps.
This strike is in the same locality as
the one lately published in the Times,
only a little nearer Wilcox.
The former discovery was also a
gold proposition, which resulted in the
establishment of a busy camp where
a number of claims are now being
worked with good results. During the
excitement following the location of
the vein over 200 miners fastened to
the district and took up claims. How

A Close Call.

Last Saturday we had a new ex-
p~erience. DR.. Rosenthal came into the
Times Office and uncovered before our
eyes a bullet which ne had taken
from a woman's skull just a few mo-
ments before. 1t was still red with the
fresh blood and pieces of skull ad-
hered to it.
The m was shot by her jealous
husband at Monticello, Utah. some six
weeks ago.. The gun used was a Al
calibre. The wife was just stopping
at the door when the shot was fired
and the ball lodged between the inner
and outer layers of the skull in the
back of the head.
The conclusion caused her to lay
unconscious for fifteen days. She then
rallied and last week was brought to
DR.. Rosenthal by Juan N. Jaquez, a
relative, for treatment, with the above
results. The doctors operation prov
ed successful and the woman is recov-
ering rapidly. 1t was a skillful piece
of surgical work.-Farmington Times,
