A very beautiful illustration Of

by james !. Vance, D. u. BE
says
In a certain city o bridge Mas to be
built across the river. To secure a
ooiid foundation, piles were driven in
the bed Of the river. One day they
could make no headway, and, on ex-
animation, found that they had struck
an old, forgotten, unused water main
left in the river bed But one thing
was TO be done. The main must come
out. Encircling the main with i'm.
mense cables, they harnessed them TO
. locomotive ON en- improvised track,
The engineer opened the throttle and
the engine started forward, only 10 be-
.h.owz back on tie track tby the ce-
bles. More steam was turned on, the
mighty locomotive rushed forward
with tremendous power, only TO re-
bound again. It was useless, the sn.s
gineer said another effort would aderaiIi
the engine. Tugboats were brought
and the cables were harnessed To-
them. Then the tugs did their best,
They pulled and plunged and churned
the riverin foam, but she main was
unmoved. ss gs,i.s

said, Come into the study. I've
got message for you from the Lord"
When we got seated 1 told him all
that I've told above. He looked at
me several minutes and then he said.
"liow much does tho Lord want me to
give?' I said, "Well, in such case
as this we cannot do things in a scrimp
ing fashion. That girl will be alone.
She must have through sleeper and
three meals day and tie car fare and
few extra dollars for any emergency.
So | should say we must give her $50"
He said, "That's good deal for a
man OF my means to do, but as the
Lord is back Of this thing, it's all
right. I'll be here at 8 o'clock sharp
tomorrow morning with the money"
we then fell on our knees and prayed
together and glorious time we two
had with Ged. The next morning he
was on time with tho money and bade
me farewell, and at nine o'clock came
the girl. She took seat at my desk
aud 1 opened my drawer and took out
the five crisp ten dollar bills and laid
them in her lap and then told her

utterable wonder and then broke down
and sobbed as if her heart would
break. l turned to her and said.
My daughter, look me straight in
the face and answer me a straight
question. Have you ever consciously
and fully and forever given yourself
to Jesus and accepted him as your
Saviour?" She answered between
her sobs that she never had, and tha.
that was what was breaking her heart.
Then | said, "Do not go out of this
room this morning until you have
done so. He is calling you and now
is the accepted time. She looked mn
at me through her tears and with
quivering lips said, "If you will pray
with me WILL DO IT NOW. We fell
on our knees, but ere could say a
word, she broke out into prayer and
poured out her heart to God. It seem
ed as if the very angels of God were
in that room. She arose with a shin.

money in her hand and Gods saliva
tion in her heart.
l never saw Brock again. His boat
was caught in storm in the Gulf,
and went down with all on board savo

Cotton Supply Decreasing.

Washington. June 30. Grave fears
are entertained at the agricultural
department. that the cotton produc-
tion Of the South will steadily decline
in the face Of growing demands at
home and abroad and opportunities
increase for "cornering' the supply.
Chief Entomologist L.. o. Howard,
Of the department, has just returned
from visit to Texas with discourag-
ing reports Of the cotton outlook there
owing to the heavy encroaohments
anu growing peril Of the ,bolI weevil.
On Friday the monthly cotton report
will be issued by Chief statistician
hyde, and it is expected to show some
remarkable figures, casting light upon
the present strained condition in the
supply and demand, causing the mills
aud looms Of England 70 CLOSE and
raising prices beyond all normal
range.
Preliminary reports from reliable
authorities in New Orleans likewise
show that there is remarkable de-
croase in the visible supply of COTTON.
According to the visible supply state
ment up to June 26. the .otal in
America is only 1,19l,69a bales,
against 1850, ,053 bales the correspond
ing period last year. This is regarded
as inexplicable in view Of cotton pro-.
duction aud increased demand from
both at homo and abroad. Il. is not
improbable .has this decrease in visi-
BILE supply may be explained By, the
operations Of the bull faction on ike
New Orleans Cotton exchange. IS ss5
Il is admitted by the agricultural
department that the time has come
for the governments 10 take some action
to prevent 9 general decrease in the
cotton supply. ~
