THE WORTH OF HOURS.

THE WORTH OF HOURS.
Believe not that your inner eye,
Can ever in just measure try
The worth of hours as they go by.
For every mans weak self, alasl
Makes him to see them while they pass,
AS through dim or tinted glass.
But II In earnest care you would
Mete out to each Its part Of good,
Trust rather to your after mood.
Those surely are not fairly spent,
That leave your spirit bowed and bent
In sad unrest and Ill content
And more-though free from seeming harm,
You rest from toll of mind or arm,
Or slow retire from pleasures charm.
If then painful sense comes on
OF something wholly lost and gone.
vainly enjoyed or yainly done.
OF something from your beings chain,
Broke of. nor to be linked again
BY all mere memory can retain.
Upon your heart this truth may rise;
Nothing that altogether dies
Sunless mans just destinies!
SO should we live. that every hour
May die as dies the natural flower,
A self reviving thing of power.
That every thought and every deed.
May hold within itself the seed
OF future good and future need.
Esteeming sorrow, whose employ
Is to develop, not destroy,
Far better than barren joy.

Topic For the Week BeEinnsrG Jan.
17-Comment by Rev. 5. II. Doyle.
Topic.-How may overcome my tempta-
tions?-I Cor. X, T. 10; Heb. ~, 1l-l6
There is great hope and encourage
ment in this topic in that it. suggests
that temptations may be overcome. 1t
would be useless to ask how to over
come them unless first convinced that
they may be overcome. And this is the
glorious truth. Temptations may be
overcome. The adversary of the hui
man soul has no supreme power. There
IS power above his that has over
come and can still overcome him. We
are not therefore to grow discouraged
in our struggle against temptation and
against sin. We are not engaged in
hopeless conflict. The battle may be
won, and, this glorious fact being true,
we should prayerfully and earnestly
seek the method and, having it, use it.
Temptations cannot be overcome in
our own strength. This has been the
delusion that has wrought the ruin of
many in the conflict with temptation.
Self confidence caused Samson's down
fall. He trusted in himself more than
in God, played with the tempter and
was finally overcome. Self confidence
also led to Simon Peters overthrow.
Trusting in himself, he proudly boast
ed: YEA, though all forsake Thee, yet
will not l. Though / die with Thee,
will not leave Thee" Yet few hours
after this proud boast Simon denied
with an oath that he ever knew his
Master. Self confidence is a forerun-
ner of defeat. Man has some power of
resistance, and he should use all his
power against sin, but the power of
Satan is greater than human power;
hence that alone cannot save us. For
this reason the Bible warns us against
trust in self. let him that thinketh
he standeth take heed lest he fall
Since we cannot overcome temptation
In our own strength, in whose strength
can we? Only in thea strength of God
and His Son, Jesus Christ. There hath
no temptation taken you but such as
is common to all men. But God is
faithful who will not suffer you to be
win with the temptation also make a
way of escape that We may be able to
beaI it." Christ was tempted in all
points as we are, yet without sin," and
now as our great high priest He is at
the right hand of God making continu-
a. intercession for us and willing to
present our petitions to the Father
~Let us, therefore, come boldly to the
throne of grace that we may obtain
mercy and find grace to help in time of
need" Gods power through Jesus
Christ can save us from being over
come by the temptations and trials of
life. God has purpose in temptation.
1t is the common lot of all men to be
tempted. Concerning temptation we
need not complain No favor is shown.
All are tempted alike. But what does
temptation matter if with the tempta-
ton God provides a way of escape or
the power to bear it? This He can dc
and will do if we trust him. Realizing
our own weakness, let us put all our
trust in God, and then we can say with
the apostle, when / am week, l am
strong"

a Faint Crow Over NazOo City
Being Behind.

The Enterprise Is disposed 70 crow a
little because Greenwood has received
this year few hundred more bales OF
cotton tnan Naxoo city has. Il is our
opinion thar when the transit eotton---
that bought upon plantations ana brought
to Greenwood merely tor the purpose Of
being co,prressed and thcn shipped East
or elsewhere is taken from the receipts
tha. Yazoo city Will be ahead. Here
transit or re.ahippod cotton is not count.

70 the warehouse aud actually shipped by
our buyers Is counted. YRzoo City does
not have to pad its receipts to make
showing. Il has long passed beyond that
period Of struggling. AS market Il IN
recognized at over the world a. second 10
none other for its size, and buyers tell
the Herald that for certain staples aud
grades. Yaaoo City is superior to any
other place.
We would not say one thing against
Greenwood, both AZ cotton aud con
mereial market, but Il viii be some years
yet before II can claim TO be In the samo
class with Yagoo city. As n progressive,
enterprising, prosperous village, we know
OF none other in l.ehore county that can
be compared to t. II has accomplished
much especially when it's environments
are considered. We want to see it con.
tinue to grow aud prosper, for we expect
some day to see Il n suburb OF Yazoo City,
either connected by trolley line. or
branch Of the Southern Railway, prefera
bly, the latter. Yazoo City will need ita
territory some time to take care OF It's fast
growing and expanding population, Tor It
Is conceded by everyone familiar with
the facts, that YezooCity is to continue as

honor and integrity he held above price,
and during his more than 60 years of life
