Delivers EIRsT SERMON.
Rev. Muse. Of the Methodist Church,
Speaks on Goodness

Speaks on sGOdIiness.S
For bodily exercise profteth little
but Goodness is profitable unto all
things, having promise Of the life that
now is, and Of that which Is 70 come, .
was the text Rev. Muse, the new pastor
Of the Methodist church, preached from
Sunday morning. He said that the first
clause OF the text would be better trans
lated to say. Bodily exercise pro6teth
for a little time" The speaker uttered
MS words with earnestness; incisive 10
expression and clear and strong In voice.
Athletics are the shortest lived
people IN the world" was the rather re-
markable statement Of Rev. Muse touch
ing the matter Of physical training. u
do not mean to say that bodily exercise
is not good and profitable, but that over
training is bad, and that professional
athletics are the shortest lived. They
are brought to fine physical develop
ment-tOO tine, for the constitution
seems unable 70 bear the load thrust
upon it, and soon the Drawn gives way
and the Individual is more or less a
physical wreck.
But Goodness brings sweetness and
light, laying beneath these noble sttri-
Outes Of manhood and womanhOod a
firm foundation OF moral and religious
stamina. The person who Eliminates
his life with the light Of God and the
philosophy Of Christ lives a life that
brings reward now and one that VIII
bring reward in the life to come. He
has fulfilled his proper destiny, and at
the end will find that the eternal God is
his refuge and underneath are the ever
lasting arms. The true life for man is
the Cody life.
"But what Of the life that spends all
Of its force in the accumulation OF ma
terial things, in self aggrandizement?
What are the final testimonies Of the
men that have burned out their fuse in
the pursuit Of changeable possessions?
Twilight, darkness, gloom with no even.
ing stars. or the hope Of a morning sun.
These are questions which every man
has to meet and is asked to solve. But
as for me, choosing neither poverty or
riches, had rather have treasures IN
Heaven where thieves do not break
through nor steal and where moth doth
not rust nor corrupt.
The noble life, pure in its aspirations,
laying hold of God on the one side and
industrious for the necessary comforts
of life on the other is the life that shall
profit now and in the life to come"

In the Dslineator for October there is

the practical suggestions for the play
room are picture frieze or a Eainscot

other children's tales toy chest Gov
cred with chintz, also interesting from q
pictorial standpoint, and furniture
adapted IN height to the size of the
child A CHEEKY open FIRE is also desir-
able addition. In all the furnishings
the child's tastes should be considered,
as thereby his natural talents may be
developed. Thus, for the room Of g
child who is unsteady inclined a piano
may be a feature, and books should like
wise be selected in accordance with the

number only two, districts No. u and

of the scarcity Of teachers here before
the state superintendent, but he can
offer no aid in this case as other cOun-
ties are as bad of in this matter as

HAVE ONE NEN
ENGINE IN OPERATION.
First Gasoline Engine of.the Nc
Vicar Automobile Pattern
Built at the Alma Manu-.
featuring Co. Plant
SIMPLEST ENGINE
EVER MANUFACTURED.
All Sizes and Patterns will be Manu-.
- -. factured when the Plant Is In
Active Operation.

While the entire plant Of the Alma
Manufacturing company is not at pres.
ent in operation, the gas engine de.
partment has turned out one two and
one-half horse power engine OF the Mo-
Vicar automatic type, and the company
feels quite grstified over the tests made.
To anyone who 10 familiar with gasoline
sngines the McVicar automatic is a
source OF continued wonder, "a it Ia so
simple that one can hardly believe it
will run. Ii is believed that In this
automatic engine a practical source Of
power has been found for the farmer 8
use.
In the last few years the use OF gaso-
line engines by farmers has increased
enormously, until now you hear on all
sides the assertion that it is only a mat
ter of a short time until every farmer
will have one. as it is the cheapest pow
er that has yet been discovered and can
be used for saving wood, grinding feed,
pumping water, churning, running the
cream separator, etc.
The universal adoption OF the gasoline
engine by the farmer has been retarded,
owing to the multiplicity of parts on the
other makes Of engines. With the ad-
vent of the McVicar automatic, this
objection has been overcome. az 1t con-
tsins but one-third as many parts as the
nearest Of its competitors. 1t is abso-
lutely automatic in all its workings and
there are no adjustments, no delicate
parts of whatever kind. All that 1t
is necessary to do is to keep the tank
full of gasoline and the parts well lubri.
GATED.
This department Of the factory ex-
poets to be in full operation soon after
the first OF the year and the manager
will be glad to show the advantages Of
the engine to all callers.

Lucking. In addition to invalid pen.
sions he also gets place on merchant
marine and fisheries, so that he will be a
factor in the ship subsidy fight and will
have Representative. Fordney as con
ferre.
This committee was about the only
one that caused any great surprise, Rep
resentative Grosvenor holding onto the
craftsmanship, although at one time
Representative Miner. who ranks
second, was slated to succeed him.
The result makes it look as though the
ship subsidy pressure was too strong for
Speaker Cannon 10 withstand. Had the
Democrats been allowed an ad 1itioual
member, Representative Lucking would
have gone on judiciary.

Representative Loud drew the big
prize, place on the naval affairs COM
mittee, an unusual honor for new
member, which was brought about by
the influence of Admiral Dewey and the
backing of Chairman Foss. All OF the
new members were well taken care Of,
Representative Young getting place on
military affairs, which is an important
committee, and also election No. /,
which will keep him busy, as there are
ten contests to be decided. Representa-

spection he was subjected to regarding
his attitude toward corporate interests,

carefully refrains from expressing any
opinion as to what the result will be,
other than to say that some action will
be taken this session.

School Life.

School days are the spring time of life;
!, season Of sowing II is then that the
seeds of character and future usefulness
are sown; seeds that spring up either to
our honor and advancement or to our
degradation. In these bright days of
lifes morn we are laying the foundation
of character which must survive for all
eternity. School life is the most enjoy
able and the most profitable period of a
persons existence. 1t should be i'm.
proved. No time should be lost. You
should be as regular IN attendance as the
ticking of the clock. Every lesson you
miss is link out Of the chain. You know
that every link taken from chain makes
it worth less. If we should fail to eat
for day or two days. week at a time,
well, you know the result. So. if we
are so careful to feed the body regularly,
why not be careful to feed the mind as
regularly? 1.-THE mind will be fed" is a
self.evident truth; but it should be at re-
gular intervals. 1t should also be fed on
the right kind of food. Millions of pupils
throughout our broad land are just now
learning the early lessons of training the
mind. Punctuality and obedience should
be the two essentials most closely oh.
served.
