at the things that have happened. The
day of its experimental stage has long
since passed, and it is now part and
parcel, warp and wool, of the life OF the
best civilizations on the face Of the earth.
Its sacrifices, its benevolences, its trials,
tolls and triumphs are written upon the
pages Of the most enduring history.
Its inception was recognized as a mira
Gle by its fonnder and His earliest follow
ers. One of them says that His apostle
ship was not of man. neither by man.
but by Jesus Christ and God the Father
No Christian can with impunity come
short of the Pauline conception OF the
source Of power, The healing of Grip
pied man filed Jerusalem with wonder
and establishment. Ii was indeed large
miracle to heal the body. but it was a
larger miracle to heal the soul. 1t was
beautiful and blessed to cast out evil dis
ease, but it is more blessed to cast out
evil spirits.
This gospel is also a miracle in its ex-
pansion. No man can account for it on
the basis of the natural. The weapons
of its warfare have never been carnal,
but they have never less been mighty
through God to the pulling down OF
strongholds.
With its message Of peace and OF truth
ii has supplanted some of the most an
cient of the paganisms. Its Founder told
His followers that they were not quail
fed to become witnesses of His truth I'M
til peculiar, divine. bit real, power had
come upon them. After that they could
with promise of success bear His truth
to the uttermost parts of the earth.
This gospel is miraculous, not only in
its inception and expansion, but also in
its victories. The victory that oyercomes
that comes over the world is faith in its
divine Head, coupled with the activity
that strong confidence always brings.
The largest miracle of to-day is what
God hath wrought Evil prophets in all
the centuries have arisen to predict all
sorts of dire disaster, defeat, extinction
humiliation, but the old truth goes grand
ly on from conquering to conquest, ever
winning fresh victories and gaining fresh
laureIs, in the face of he world, the flesh
and the devil.
1t has infused itself into the young
blood OF the nations. and its tide of en-
thusiastic service among young people is
rising higher and higher. This gospel has
been the foster mother of every reform
of every charity, of all progress. 1t has
been the friend of the lowly and Of the
oppressed, its teachings have become the
basic principles of the administrations OF
civil governments, and with it's benedic'
ticus Presidents have been inaugurated
and Kings have been crowned. Verify,
we behold the colossal miracle of thI
ages-a Christian civilization.

Girl Kidnnped bx Sister.

When Alkaline Youto died in Fond du
Lac in 1891 she left all her estate TO her
son, John Youto. with the provision that
he support his sister Mary for the rest
of her life. as she was slightly unbal-
anced. Until recently he took good care
of his sister, but as the property is not
very valuable. it is alleged the brother
has ceased to provide for her. Several
days ago a sister of John Youto, Mrs.
Winfield of Milwaukee went to Fond du
Lac and took tho younger sister TO Mil
waukee. Waen the brother learned of
this he INN ediately had a warrant sworn
out for he arrest of Mrs. Winfield, charg-

went to Milwaukee and succeeded in To-
eating the woman. The latter consulted
a lawyer and she was advised to return

Dig. Grave, Then kilis wife.

George Wolf, the Chippewa Falls wife
murderer, has made a confession of the
crime he committed last June In the
course Of it he gave the startling infor-
nation that he had dug grave for her
several days before he killed her. and
that she lived an hour after he had struck
her on the head with a club. The only
reason which he assigned as a cause for
the deed was that attentions shown his
wife by other men had made him ex-
tremely jealous. He finally resolved that
she must die and went to the river bank
about four miles from Chippewa Falls,
where he dug a shallow grave.

The Atlantic's series of outdoor pa
pers continues in the August number
with a group of articles of a very I'M
usual character First in the group is
rare piece of imaginative prose, The
Desert, by Vernon z. Reed. This is one
OF those carefully wrought, profoundly
suggestive meditations which belong in
the higher reaches of prose writing, but
one not commonly found between the
covers of a magazine. There is also a
remarkably vivid account of The Moon
sinner at Home by an adventurous for
ester, Leonidas Hubbard, Jr., and a val
liable descriptive paper about the African
Pygmies by Samuel Phillips Werner, who
has enjoyed the exceptional advantage
of living among them.

The Literary Outlook.
BY Herbert Brewster.


Publishers are of the opinion that the
day of big selling novels is over-they
do not believe that. for some time to
come. at least, an ephemeral piece of
fiction will sell beyond the 100000 mark.
There has been a reaction, they main
tain. against the much heralded and much
pulled historical novel, against the vol
ume of love letters which were invented
by their ingenious author, against the
confessions of this or that person, made
to seem real by clever writer. The
prediction is, doubtless, fathered by the
wish. because the strain and expense of
booming is too great. though as likely as
not the publishers are wrong in this,
as they have been in other prophecies
but most of US hope that they are right.

would have the rest which they had been
