Make Growth, not Wealth, Your Goa

Make Growth, not Wealth, Your Goal.
The youth no starts out in life tn
wealth as his ideal is a foredoomed fall
ure. II you would succeed, let growth,
expansion of mind and heart, and wealt b
of character, not money getting, be your
aim.
Be as large a man as you can make
yourself. Broaden your sympat hies by
taking an interest in other things than
those which concern your immediate
business. A know edge of the great
world movements, active sympathy wit h
sll efforts directed toward progress and
the betterment of mankind, and the
cultivation of the finer side of your nat
ure-fostering he love of music, art, and
Iiterature,-will not only enlarge your
vision, but will also increase hundred
fold your enjoyment OF life and your
value to society.
Do not allow yourself to become self
eentered. Give some of your energies to
securing better conditions for those less
fortunately circumstanced then yourself.
Remember that you are first OF alt. q

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR-
Topic For the Week Beginning April
12-Comment by Rev. :. II. Doyle.

Topic.-Christs teaching aboat the res
nrrection.-John XII, 2l-2T, 40-44 (An Easter
meeting)
Easter is one of the most joyous of
the Christian festivals. 1t speaks of
those who have in sadness been taken
from loved ones on earth, but it speaks
also of hope-yea. even of assurance of
resurrection from the dead and reunion
with loved ones. Blessed hope Of
Eastertide, first heard when the angels
announced the fact that Christ was
risen from the dead and never TO cease
to be heard till earth and sea shall give
up their dead and those who died in
Christ, having risen. shall reign with
him forever and forever
In considera tion of the fact that
Christ was divine as well as human
and could see and understand life be-
yond the grave, what He had to say
about the resurrection becomes of in
finite Importance. The Old Testament
Scriptures, while giving US some in
formation upon the subject of the fu-
ture. is not as definite and comprehen-
sive upon the subject as we might
wish. and yet even here we are not
without encouragement to our faith.
This is shown in Martha'S reply to
Christ's statement concerning the re-
surrection. 81 know" she says. that
He will rise again at the resurrection
in tine last day" Evidently therefore
Martha had faith in a resurrection at
the last day, and this was true of most
- - ct
had derived from the Old Testament
Genesis, Job, the Psalms, Daniel and
Ezekiel-a belief in both the immor-
tality of the soul and the resurrection
of the body. And it is with joy that
we hail the fact that Christ abundant
ly corroborated their faith upon these
subjects.
1t is one of the crowning glories of
the New Testament that here Christ
brings 'life and Immortality to life
through the gospel"
/. Christ taught that Lazarus should
rise again. To Martha in her sorrow
Jesus said, Thy brother shall rise
again" Nor did He refer to future
but present resurrection, and that His
prophecy was true was soon afterward
demonstrated by His miracle of rails
ing Lazarus from the dead. This fact
convinces us of the truthfulness of
Christ's words concerning the general
resurrection of the dead.
2. Christ taught the doctrine of gen.
eral resurrection of the dead. II am
the resurrection and the life. He that
believeth on Me, though he die, yet shall
he live" He came as mans life to
make it possible for man to be raised
again and to spend eternity in fellow
ship with him and the Father and all
the redeemed. Christ's doctrine of the
resurrection has been accepted and
taught in all the Christian centuries.
Paul developed it in all its phases, and
little has been or can be added to what
they have said upon the subject. The
fact is glorious, and it is true, and, &C.
cepting it as such, we can leave the
mysteries and perplexities surrounding
It until revealed in Gods own time and
way.

VERY REMARKABLE CURE OF

 Finally we moved to Bosque county

The case was so similar to my own that concluded to try the remedy. The re- suit was wonderful.

air of picturesque strength that appeals at once to the visitor to this city on a hill-toR, sa
 Malta is the chief naval station in the Mediterranean The executive power of the island is in the hands of military governor and an executive council; finance and local matters are in the con- trol of legislative council consisting of six official and 13 elected mem bers, with the governor having the right to veto.I The present governor of Malta is Mai. Gen. Sir Francis Greefall, a fine type of British officer. The English, unfortu-I nately, are not very popular in Malta; the feeling against them became very bitter when Great Britain some time ago decided to substitute English for the official language, although it is thought the feeling was largely the result of work of the politicians, they doing ev-; erything to stir up the people, who oth-. erwise might have submitted to the gradual changes planned by the Eng fish. But the stirrirg-up was effective; at the time King Edwards subjects gen., erally were taking part in the corona ton rejoicings, the natives of Malta refused to join in, their council declar- ing it was more of an occasion for tears than mirth, which showed the state of feeling, and perhaps suggested to Eng land the time was about ripe for her to demonstrate that Malta really was one of her possessions.
 For the first two years, the Maltese child in the government schools has been taught an Italian dialect, and then the language of the child's further in- struction was left to the option of the parent For awhile many chose Eng fish, believing it to become the language of business in Malta; but such an agi- tation was made against the Anglican influence that again Italian became the popular tongue And in 1902 MT.

TIE ISLE OF MALTA
It Is One of the Bu1warks of Eng
 lands Strength.
A Revocation of the Contribution of 1887 Gives the Italians Less Power in the Civil Govern.
 ment of the Island. s

The Italian politicians of Malta, by reason of their chafing under the British yoke, have done their best to bring Great Britain to the step recently taken by her, namely, the revocation of the con- stitution of 1887; and now the majority in the legislature will be appointed by the British, and the power of the Italians will be considerably leSsened.
 One of the pet beliefs of the dominant Italians has been that the Italian lan- guage should be forced upon all that re- side in Malta; and to this, reasonable objection has been made by the English, as was to be expected; by both the resi- dent English and the English govern ment. The language spoken by nla- jority of the inhabitants of Malta is Malteste patois, and as for real Italian speaking folk they are to those that make use of the English tongue only as one to two. But the Italians, in spite of their few numbers, have had control of affairs, and it certainly will go hard with them to lost that control.
 A certain writer speaks of Malta as one of the bulwarks of England's strength; with Gibraltar and Port Said, the key, to the Mediterranean" This wee "bulwark'' lies 56 miles south of Sicily. Including the lesser islands of Gozo and Comino, it has an area of IF square miles, and a population, includ- ing the British garrison of over 12,000, of about 1S9,000. The island of Malta itself probably has not over 158,000 in habitants. Valetta, the capital, is a fine city; with population of 50,000, inn pregnable Notifications, and a beautiful harbor. The original capital of Malta, Citta Vecchia, is an old town of much interest, and still of considerable size. Its wide streets, brilliantly painted houses, and girdling ramparts, give it an
