GBMS OF THOUGHT.

The hope Of Immortal life is the life
Of mortal hope.-Ram's Horn.
A propensity to hope and Joy is real
riches; one to fear and sorrow, real
poverty.-Hume.
Now 1t is the great work OF nature to
transmute sunlight into life. So it is
the great end OF Christian living to
trapsmute the light of truth>into the
fruits CT holy living.-A. J. Gordon.
Keep the soil of life soft, its sympathy
tender, its imagination free, or else you
may lose the elementary quality of re-
ceptiveness, and all the influences of
God may be in vain.-F. G. Peabody.
wonder why it is that we are not all
kinder than we are. How much the
world needs it! How easily it is done!
How instantaneously it actsl How in
fallibly it Is remembered How super
abundantly it pays itself back!-
Southern Churchman.
There is no one who has it not in his
power to pray a smaller or a larger
prayer-to pray a prayer. that is, which
either asks merely for some endowment
or adornment of the life, or a PRAYER
which asks for An elevation and altera-
ton Of the life itself.-Phillips Brooks,
There are those who acquire the habit
of helping others, of comforting, of add
ing cheerfulness and strength, wherever
they go. To those who thus give much is
given in return-contentment, trust in
God, confidence in their fellowmen.
sweet hopes, peaceful memories.-James
Freeman Clarke.
The only defense against an i'll conta-
gion is exuberant health. 1t is the man
who is run down who becomes the victim
of the pestilenec. 1t Is not otherwise in
the realm of the Spirit. If we are to be
protected against the pestilence that
walketh in darkness, we shall have to
BE possessed Of q r:enitude Of spiritual
life-J ~

CHRISTIANITY NOT ON TRIAL.
But Men and Times Are Judged Ac-

Divine PrOmptfnRs.

We are told by some men, who pro-
Tess to read the signs OF the times,
that Christianity Is on trial, and, If it
Is to live, 1T must radically change its
doctrines and methods. There are 9TH
ers who tell US that 1t can no longer
hold Its place as the supreme rsvela-
ton to mankind, but must now be
marshaled with other religious move
ments Of the world. Still others, says
the Chicago Advance, declare that, on
account OF radical changes in scien-
the and philosophical thought the be-
ginning OF the end Of Christianity is
not far on
What can be said in regard to these
matters? There Is nothing absolutely

that was set at the time the railroad
first entered the limits of Kalspell.
and a celebration was held in honor
of the occasion. The rails first
reached kalispell January /, 1892,
and a general iollification meeting
was held. Speeches were made by
the late c. f. Conrad, b. d. Hatcher.
w. c. Whips and others. The silver
spike was first started in the tie by
Mrs. J. J. Kimmerly, the first white
woman in the Flathead valley, and
was driven home by Nicholas p
Moon, the oldest settler in the coun-
ty. The spike is of the usual size
and was made of silver dollars con-
tributed by the ladies of Kalispell.
The coin was melted down by Geo.
Stanford and made into a spike. 1t
afterward came into the possession of
James f. Voght, the county clerk and
recorder at that time. He retained
it until this week. when he presented
it to w c. Whips.

of not guilty.
The evidence Of the prosecution
was all in when Lawyers Downing

complaint charged that Stickney en-
ticed the complaining witness from
Denver to this city into house of
i'll fame. when. as matter of fact,
the evidence failed TO show more
than an intent. and not the actual
commission of the act on the part of

the complaining witness testified 10
day on the stand. Arriving here. they
found that Stickney nn"nr had an

fame was the place in which the
girls found themselves.
