the hour Of loneliness we seek our
companion; in the day of trouble we
want the counsel Of our friend. There
is no one in all history who satisfies
us so fully as Jesus Of Nazareth, who,
as Man of Sorrows" and Friend Of
Sinners" touches human hearts to
cure, to comfort, to cleanse.
Systematic theology is as necessary
as the bones Of a man, but those bones
must be covered with warm flesh If
we are to have friend. Delight in
the study of Christian anatomy must
not rob us of our living friend, the
matchless Son Of Man. The weary.
the sad, the forsaken are crying to-
day, as never before, "Sir. we would
see Jesus"

No able-bodied man, not even a

nois is situated in Chicago. The jest of
one age becomes the truth of the next.
A professor at Columbia University
has predicted that there will one day
be continuous city from northern
Massachusetts to Virginia. The cause
of this possible result is the trolley
car, which not only connects towns,
but makes it convenient to live in the
outlying districts between towns. City
life In America Is an economic neceS-
sity, not an expression Of our natures.
We are segregative. We like land
about our houses. AS soon as it Is pos
sible to have our homes far from the
centers, and still do business in the
city, the centrifugal tendency of Amer
leans will send us away from the cities
to live. When trolley lines cut through

tracks, to thin out evenly instead of

Under what similitude will you liken
human life? A pleasure garden? Or

a penitentlary where we are punished.

them" These persons are Stoics. 9th
ers view life as garden of gaiety.
They are Eplcureans. Eat, drink and

a short life and merry, say these
Sybarltes. The Stole was wrong. Life
Is not thickly strewn with thorns. 1t
IL strewn with roses. The thorns are
Incidental. The Epicurean Is also
wrong. He that seeks pleasure for
pleasures sake will find only safety.
What. then, Is It? Human life Is n
school. 1t begins In the mothers arms.
and ends only on the Great Gradua-
ton Day. 1t has Its recesses. inter.
missions and vacations, but the school
goes on! Its teachers are named Ex.
perience. Sometimes the lessons are
hard and the tears fall on the page
OF the text book! Sometimes they are
pleasant rs well as profitable. But
these lessons must be learned Each
must learn them for himself. A man
can bequeath money or advice TO his
boy, but he cannot bequeath his ex.
perience. The boy must 20 to school

Professor Metchnikoff has shown us
very clearly that the reason man fears
death Is because he is called away be-
fore he Is full Of days" And he cites
the well-knOwn cases Of Abraham,
Isaac and Job, who lived 175, $50 and
40 years respectively, and died full of
days, ready and even anxious to go.
From which we are led to infer that
our methods Of life are wholly wrong
and that If we shall only so live as to
prolong our existence to the old-fash-
ioned limit, we shall welcome death
with as much eagerness aswen now seek
to avoid it. The only trouble with the
professors theories is that he is too
particular in his examples. What was
the matter with Adam, who lived $50
years; Seth, with his 902 years; Jared,
with his 962 years, and Methuselah,
with his 969 years? If such children
as Job and Abraham and Isaac were
full Of days." what were Adam and
the others full of? If, as the inspired
book tells us, Job slipped off when he
was 40, full of days" how was Me-
thuselah beginning to feel as he round
ed his third century? If Abraham
proves that we may live to be 175, why
cannot Adam prove that we may just
as well hop along until we are $50?
SO far as we can see Adams word is
just as good as Abraham's whatever
Dr. Lyman Abbott may think to the
contrary. Professor Metchnikoff, a
very learned man, has no right to Jug
gle the scriptures to suit his argument.
We insist on fair play for Seth and
Adam and Jared, and ''full-of-days"
Interpretation that means something.

Missouri Pacific rose ~ on the belief
that earnings would show large i'm
provement from now on. Texas Pacific

DEPOT WAS BURNED.

The Southern Railway depot at Aus
tell was entirely destroyed by fire Sun
day night. The drug store of DR.. w.
II. Jones, which is directly across the
street, was also damaged, and the
front porch of the hotel, which is also
across the street, was damaged by the
fire, although the flames did not reach
the inside of the structure. The fire
began about O'Clock from an unknown
cause. The entire place was soon envel-
oped in flames, and despite the efforts
of the citizens it was soon evident that
the depot was doomed. The wind was
blowing directly in the direction of the
hotel and drug store, and it was be-
lieved for a time that those structures
We're doomed. The bucket brigade,
however, kept them wet and this prob
ably saved the buildings.

STAFF MAY DwINDLE.

Atlanta Constitution: It is thought
Gov. TerrelI's staff of lieutenant COL
onels will dwinde to about one-half
the number appointed, or maybe a few
more than half. when the time for the
show down comes. Altogether 1873 col
onels were appointed, twenty-three of
them being former colonies on Gov.
Gamblers staff who We're DESTROYS of
serving under the new Governor. These
twenty-three include those who took a
most prominent part with Gov. Can
dler whenever the staff was called out,
and all of these will, without doubt,
retain their commissions under Gov.
Terrell. OF the other 10 lieutenant
colonies, it is thought that at least
fifty of them will fail to qualify. This
does not mean they will not take the
oath of office and receive their. com
missions, for all of them will undoubt-
eddy do that. Failure to qualify will
consist principally in not securing uni
forms as is required by the Governors
order. All of those who expect to re-
main on the staff must have uniforms
by April 1; that is the date for the
great show down. As has been stated
the dress uniform which. each colonel
must have can be obtained at a cost of
$50. The full dress uniform, which is
optional. costs S124. %. So it is just a
main on the staff whether they want
to be $40 colonies or 5000 co'lonels It
is understood that quite number of
those who applied for appointment on
the staff did so only because they
wanted the commission and the title,
and they will not equip themselves
with the necessary uniforms.
