Frances Willard and Her Life
Work.

So permanently is the love Of this
noble woman fixed in the hearts OF all
who know Of her splendid character
and work. that every word Of hers
that has been preserved, ana every
fact about her will be read with in
teregt. Her own testimony after she
had made fall surrender Of herself
to God in meeting conducted By
Phoebe Palmer in Evanston, Ill Is
as follows:
II cannot describe the deep yelling
up Of JOY that gradually possessed me.
| was utterly free from care. / was
blithe az a bird that is good for moth
ing except to sing / did not ask my
self. L. this my duty? but Just in
tuitiyely knew what l was called upon
70 do. The conscious, emotional pres
ence Of Christ through the Holy
Spirit held me. ran about upon
his errands just for love-. Life was a
halcyon day. All my friends knew
and noticed the change, and would
not like to write down the oyely
things some Of them said to me bat
they did me no harm, for / was shut
in with the Lord. - On this testimony
the Michigan Christian Advocate edi-
torially remmarks: at is probable
that the deep yelling up Of Joy
that thrilled Miss Willard's soul IL
the secret Of her oneness Of aim and
strenousness Of purpose all through
her after life She never had to in
quire what duty was, bat seemed to
know IL instinctiyely and lost no time
in going about It, She was not only
always and ever as blithe as a bird
but her journeys from city to city
across the continent and over lakes
aud seas were like the fights Of strong
winged birds that know their habita-
tions and instinctiyely seek the places
Of safety and the fulfllment Of ma
ture IS functions. Oh, it is joyous to
run upon errands just for love.
Would that thousands such souls
were baptized for sucn a mission, and
that they had already entered upon
their halcyon life day.

Fearless and Independent.

The Chicago Record Herald is a con-
spicuous example of the success with
which the public rewards fearless non
partisanship in the columns of great
metropolitan daily paper. 1t is an inde-
pendent newspaper, in which men and
measures are invariably viewed wholly
from the standpoint of the public good
and not from that of the interests of any
particular political party. 1t is the
very reverse ofneutral- fearless and out
spoken on all the great questions of the
day, but presenting it's editorial opinion
upon,independent judgment and entirely
regardless Of political Affiliations. Par
tisanship is barred as strictly from the
news columns as from the editorial page.
All political news is given without par
tisan coloring, thus enabling the reader
to form correct conclusions for himself.
In the ordinary partisan newspaper po-
litical news is ordinarily colored to such
an extent as to makesit difficult if not
impossible for the reader to secure a
sound basis for intelligent Judgment.

Weather Crop Bulletin.
For WEEK ENDING JUNE %, 19Oa,.

For WEEK ENDING JUNE %, 1903,.
DES MONIES, Iowa
The daily mean tempe ature for the
past week ranged froul 4 to degrees
below the normal. The first half was
generally clear and dry; the last half
was partly cloudy, with showers which
brought timely moisture to all
sections, and excessive downpours
in some localities. The rains were gem
orally beneficial, softening the clods and
encrusting surface of fields that were
previously saturated or flooded. On the
whole the general crop conditions have
been improved. Field work has been
vigorously pushed in all sections, with
relatively little hindrance from wet
weather. The area of the corn crop has
been considerably enlarged by contin-
ued planting, while in early planted
fields good progress has been made in
subduing the weeds and putting the
soil in better condition for growth of
the plant, which now shows healthy
color, though smaller than usual at this
season of the year.
Spring wheat, oats and barley are in
the heading stage of growth, and are
doing fairly well, considering all the
vicissitudes Of storms and floods. The
heavy lay crop is nearing the time for
harvest, and clover cutting is in prog
ress in many places.
The apple crop appears to be fairly
well, with less than usual complaint of
damage by blight or dropping. Berries
and garden truck are very thrifty.
