the story is set. Here is a revolution
beaded by the typical South American
general GrandilOQueut with patriotic
phrases, yet holding out one hand for
q bride while with the other he bran-
dishes a sword. Both hands are ready
for business; drop gold into one, the
other hand gives the signal for revolt.
In Soldiers of Fortune" Clay does
not pay to have the sword sheathed.
He is too much OF a man and an
American for that. and in the manner
in which Clay, ever cool, masters the
intricate situation, rescues his country
men from danger, facing peril with n
smile and death with a laugh, lies the
stress Of the story. 1t is Mr.. Robert

The fact is often overlooked
that city may stimulate its own
citizens. Not only is a city's
splendid advancement calculated
to kindle admiration in other
communities not only is it GER
tain to win appreciation from
visiting strangers; but it is gen
orally stirring, thrilling, slim

demonstrates successful qualities.

The most important thing in con-
nection with the stores of Canon
City is the remarkable growth
of the past three years. So great
has been this growth that it Is
safe to saw the retail establish
ments of the community have full
ly doubled in size and efficiency
in this short time.
The community has grown, it
is true, but not sufficiently to
Justify this unusual increase.

merchants have built. not for to-
day. but for the future. Canon

ability to carry hi church owe the
rough places in the journey that re-
suits IN unreasonable harm; for, in
trying to keep it from falling by the
way, men stretch forth their hands
to deeds of actual impiety. In this
present period, many a good man,
troubled and scared by the prospect
of the church's overthrow, has tried
to prop it up with sensational
preaching, or questionable methods
OF business, or alien institutions.
All such things are extraneous. They
become a hindrance and drag to the
progress of the kingdom. There is
a sense IN which the church of Christ
canot prosper without the support
of the hand of every child of God,
but there IS also a sense in which
it will go forward on it's way as sure
ly as the revolving earth ITSELF
which we ride on, and cannot sus-
tain by lifting nor hasten by pushing.
Perhaps a good motto for the church
of this age would be, "Impious
Uzzahs, hands ofp
And the ark of Jehovah remained
in the house of Obed-edom the Git
tite three months: and Jehovah
blessed Obed-edom and all his house
". I'D. We may be sure of this
n thing,-the ark of Jehovah did
not bless Obed-edom and his house
as a stove heats a room and the peo-
pie in twill We, mill ye!" Physi-
cal results are produced in that way,
but not spiritual. Or, at least, under
most favorable circumstances, the
spiritual results of material things
are very slight without the deliberate
and earnest cooperation of our
souls. A rose will fill a room with
perfume, and a canary will fill it with
song, whether the inmates smell and
listen or not; but you may lay a
Bible on a sitting-room table, or hang
the motto "God bless our home" on
the walls, and leave them there for a
generation, and they will affect you
as little as the figures of the carpet,
unless you put forth some effort to
get the good out of them. And so,
if God blessed Obed-edom and his
household, it was because they appre-
ciated the ark, and reverenced it,
and made use of its. S. Times.
