Those Flats.

The mother with her little ten-year-old
daughter was returning to her tiny fiat
after a call on a friend who resided in a
large house, with spacious grounds about
1t. As she neared the house she sighed
and remarked to her little daughter:
Dolly, when l come pack home after
visiting Mrs. Wallin | feel as if l had
come back to live in a hat box"
Dolly gave a sigh exactly like her
mothers and saide dismally:
And ! feel as il | had come back to live

TEE child has to be born before It can
1 breathe and see and feel, and walk
and talk. These are experiences which 1t
cannot enjoy until it has been ushered
into the sphere Of being where these
things are possible and natural. So is
it with the spiritual creature. The nat
ural man cannot breathe, or see, or feel,
or walk, or talk, in the spiritual world,
until he has been born into that realm.
Gods Word declares: "The natural man
receiveth not the things of the Spirit
Of God: for they are f~oolishness unto
him: neither can he know them, be-
cause they are spiritually discerned."
The first step, then, by which man
leaves his own way and gets into the
way of God is when he repents of the
sinfulness of his own way and accepts
Christ as his sacrifice for sin and as his
| Saviour from sin. Then does he begin to
walk in the spiritual realm, then does
he begin to cease his own doing and DO
| the will of God. And the gateway to
the new life, Christ, is also the Way of
the new life. Christ came into the world,
and where man had failed to walk in
Gods way and to do His will, He perfect
ly walked and delighted to do His Fa-
theirs will. And in Christ the soul has
it's great Exemplar, as we'll as Saviour.
God, Who has said: This is the way,
walk We in It," points to the Christ, the
Saviour of the world, as He speaks. In
Him, man can cease from his own do
ings, but apart from Him man is lost
in the darkness of his own sins. Gods
way and Gods will lead straight through
this life to Heaven. Mans way and
mans will lead to certain destruction. Oh.
that men would cease from their own
doings and from their stubborn way!"

Text: They ceased not from their own
doings. nor from their stubborn way
Judges 2:i9.
The Tupelo journal., 1903-11-20

DUT, thank God! there are some who
- do cease their own doings and yield
their wills to God. There was always a.
small remnant in Israel which had eyes
to see God, and minds to understand Him,
and ears to hear Him when He spoke,
and hearts willing to do His will.
There were seven thousand in Is
rael who had not bowed the knee
to Baal when the prophet Elijah
thought he only was left of those who
served God. He thought ell the rest of
Israel ceased not from their own do
ings, o from their stubborn way" and
there are those in the world to-day who
have yielded to God and who realize that
His way is best. But this departure
from the way of the natural man to the
way of God; this yielding of the human
will to that of the Divine Is progress
i've. Step by step man breaks away from
the natural desires and ambitions, and
attains unto that Godlikeness which it
is Goes purpose should be a matter Of
growth with every one of His children.
The first step is salvation, the new birth.
The natural man must be made a new
creature in Christ Jesus before he can
walk ii Gods ways.

ETAN likes to have his own way,
1V1 and it is a long sad record OF
sin which stands against him. God
said to Israel: This is the way,
walk We in it" But Israel said, This
is the way / want to walk, and the
people walked after the manner of the
heather nations about them. God says
to man to-day: This is the way,
walk We in it," But man says, | want
TO walk in my own way; | want to
be my own master; / want to go when
l please and come when l please. The
prodigal son liked to have his own
way, and SO he bundled up his pos
sessions and left his fathers house for
the far country where there would be
no check upon his conduct, and during
all those mad days of pleasure he did
not cease from his own doings nor
from his stubborn way. The rich
fool who said within his heart: Soul,

tana September LIST is none too late
for the commencement OF the open
season. The birds are then large and
strong as a rule and afford the wing
shots greater sport and better results
for the time and money spent in hunt

neither a pleasant o a profitable pas

the same conditions prevailing in all

1t is to be hoped that the strife be,

not reach the serious stage reported
from sections of Wyoming. Montana
has been practically free from stock

water there have been very few cases
of criminal assault as a result of their

rather write a thousand words in
praise of a man than half a dozen of
a fault finding nature. In our editor

But without regard to particularizing
complaints have been numerous and
strong of late as to the slack business
methods in the postoffice and they
have come from the largest business
houses in town, as well as from Cit
liens in general. Undoubtedly much
cause for complaint is due to the mar
