Using the Time.

After supper these winter nights
1T IS a long time until bed time. Much
depends on how our boys and girls
employ the hours from five to nine
or ten o'clock. If you live in a town
or village, young man, it is a great
temptation to 60 up town and trife
the hours away with men who ought
to be at home with their families, but
who prefer to waste the time in
senseless gable about the stove in
the grocery or the drug store. Do
not go ear them, boys, we beseech
you. Use these four hours every
night in improving yourselves. If
you have had a poor chance in school
here is where you may make up lost
time. Lay off a plan of reading for
the winter. Get some biography, his
tory, a little poetry, and three or four
books from the masters of fiction,
such as Dickens or Scott or Cooper.
You can get them. Ask your preach
er to help you out. He will take
pleasure in doing what he can. Then
set yourself to your task. Somebody
who knows it all will tell you you had
better be reading your Bible. Pay
no attention to him; he has never
hurt himself reading his. Lay out
your course of reading and then stick
to it. By next May you will find
your mind wonderfully strengthened
and enriched. If all our young
friends would only utilize the golden
moments of these winter nights what
a blessing would come into their
lives. Whatever you do, dear
friends, do not throw this precious
time away gossiping about the
streets.-Charity and Children.

who will be yer remembered as a
great preacher of righteousness.
The kind of preaching that is need
ed at the present day is the fearless
proclamation of the truth as it is in
Christ Jesus. Before such preaching,
inspired by the Holy Spirit of God,
the citadels of evil must inevitably
fall.

,orrs ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON FOR JANUARY 10.
The Preaching of John the Baptist.
Matthew 3:1-12.

Matthew 3:1-12.
Golden Text. Repent ye: for the
.;nrJom of heaven is at hand. Matt.
81.
This lesson brings us face to face
nth the man who by a rhetorical fig
80 peculiarly appropriate to an
0-;ontal land was known as the fore
-.crar Of Jesus. In Eastern lands,
-bsra the streets are narrow and tor
.,,,s, it is imperative for some one
run in advance of the governor or
..Ser high official who desires to
make rapid progress in his carriage
.,rough the city. SO it was needful
.la- some one should precede the
Messiah. preparing the hearts of the
rs,ple for his reception.
The Elements of Johns Preaching.
First and foremost in Johns
reaching was the call to repentance.
Wherever there is sin, there is al
-avs need for repentance, and John
.le Baptist found sin Astounding in
II classes and grades of society in
i day. as he would also find, if he
~re to return to the world today.
In immediate connection with the
all to repentance John preached the
nmanence Of the kingdom of heav-
H. This he urged as a pressing rea-
II for rcpentance; for into that
rgiom there is no admission except
.r those who have truly repented of
heir sins.
The kingdom of heaven as preach
j by John signifed the Messianic
1ngiom introduced by our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. 1t was the
11glom which Jesus came to estab-
81 and Of which he is the divine
aad.
Johns preaching contained a note
F. warning, which made itself espe-
1aly heard when the Pharisees and
>-iucces came to hear him speak.
hypocrisy was utterly abhorrent to
@ and he did not fear to rebuke
lose in high places for their pride
I'll self Righteousness.
Johns preaching was whole-souled
III convincing. Multitudes we're
inverted by his instrumentality, and
II he remained ever humble in spir-
: declaring that he was not even
T'thy to bear the shoes of the Mes
@a1 who should follow him.
The Kind of Preaching Needed To
F-Ihe question is often asked,
mat KIND of preaching is needed to-
y. BY studying the preaching of
..-A The Baptist we may find the
~sTer TO this question. We need the

A NECESSITY.

During the FIRE at the wreck ON tn,
railroad last Monday, . most import
ant fact was brought ont, viz. the
need Of extension Of the water mains
to Lewis Avenue. Had not the ener.
getic measures OF Mr.. Geo. Dallas and
his assistants been put forth, a large
number Of buildings would have been
consumed and much damage done.
The owners of these buildings and
homes are taxpayers and entitled to
this protection and they should not
be obliged to depend upon the private
works Of the Iberia Cypress Co.. for
ut best it is inadequate for more than
their own property and was not in
tended for public protection. though
freely given and ut considerable ex.
pense to them. The mains should Be
extended At the earliest practical
from Lee Street down to
Lewis Avenues district that il
thickly settled by those who cannot
afford to lose. and who are entitled to
this extension.

A NEW PHASE OF THE
BOND ISSUE.

Our attention has been called to q
letter Of State Superintendent Aswell
in regard to the amendment providing
for an issue of One Million Dollars OF
bonds for the building equiping and
maintenance of school buildings
throughout the State and asking CO.
operation in all the Parishes for the
ADOPTION Of this amendment He de-
clares that the m2llion dollars will
be divided by 50, the number of coun-
try Parishes and the amount given to
each Parish Board as soon as the
amount is available, which will be as
soon as adopted. Under this arrange
ment Iberia Parish would receive
s12.s4O for the erection of school
houses and their equipment, controlled
entirely by the local board. This
seems very plausible ana just, ana
should appeal to the people. But why
has not this proposition been made
sooner, why wait until the opposition
has crystalized and the amendment
virtually lost before making this sen.
sible proposition. Had the Superin-
tendent of Education, through the
State Board announced this rs their
policy at first, there would have been
but little opposition. but coming at
this late day we doubt whether the
amendment can be saved as the idea
has became prevalent that the benefits
to be derived were very remote and
chimerical.

CURE FOR HUSBANDS.

"These are the days in which

THE CANAL ASSURED.

The New Iberia Southern Drai mage
Board held an adjourned meet
ing for the purpose of receiving Mr..
F. M. Kerr, chief of State Engineers,
who had been invited by the Board to
meet them and to examine the work
that had been done up to date. This

ner, expressing his entire approval and
endorsement of the steps taken by the
Board. The opening of bids being in
order that of Mr.. S. +. HOyt, being
found the lowest it was accepted. His
bid being for the construction of the
canal some 10 40 miles long. with 10
feet in the bottom 30 feet at waters
edge and 60 feet at the ground surface.
The canal shall connect with the
Bayou Carlin, which is about GO feet
wide The depth of water in the
canal shall be an average depth Of
1917 feet with feet of tide water al
ways present at all points on the
canal. The method of payment will
be monthly for work done that month,
70 per cent of it's value paid and
twenty five per cent retained till com
pletion of the canal. Mr.. Hoyts bid
for the entire work including bridges
and all expenses was 1851, 600. The
Beard accepted the bid and awarded
the contract to him Mr.. Hoyt has
strong Chicago connections and will
ut once enter on the work with two
strong dredge boats working at either
end Mr.. Hoyt receives bonds in pay
ment of the work and attends to the
floating of them himself, so that the
Board is relieved of the work and ex.
pense of negotiating them while Oh
tanning their par value. Thus are
the hopes of the friends of this great
public utility come to full fruition.
It means much to our town, its ad-
vantages have often been set before
our people by this Journal, which has
always advocated and worked for the
project and we congratulate our com.
munity that at last the work is in

The New Orleans Progressiv,
Union, aided by nearly every Other
public-spirited body in Lonisiana
and many prominent men, has is.
sued pamphlet on the subject of
Railroads as State Builders" the
object being to direct the attention
OF the voters throughout Louisiana
to the constitutional amendment
exempting new railroad construc-
ton from taxation for ten years,
extensive correspondence on this
subject, Secretary Mayo learned
that representative voters in all
parts Of the State favored the
amendment but feared that opposi
ton to one or two Of the other pro-
posed amendments, which are also
to be voted on at the November
election, might exert an nnfortu-
nate influence on this as well as
other recognized good changes in
the constitution. La order that the
voter may be thoroughly informed
as to the merits of this particular
amendment the pamphlet has been
issued by Secretary Mayo and is
now being distributed in every
parish of the State. The pamphlet
shows just what the effect of rail
road tax exemption was in this
State during the five year period
ending January l, 1904, aud points
out that many railroad projects
could not take advantage of it be-
cause of the limited time in which
the rails had to be laid. 1t is
argued that the re-enactment of
this amendment, to be operative
from January l, 1905, to January
l, 1909, would induce the i'm
mediate construction of new lines
of railroad which, in the slower
process Of natural development,
would most probably not be con-
structed tor years to come Then,
too, existing roads would be en-
couragrd Ia extend their lines,
construct new branch llucs and
f., drrs. aud otherwise open up aud
develop now untouched territory
Thus, II is argued, the devt lopluent
that will follow along such lines
would increase the taxable values
of the State very materially; far
mDr+ than the possible taxable
values Ut new construction In
this way, it is claimed the STATE
would really gain in income, and
at the same time pave the way for
future advancement aud prosperity,
and prepare us to take advantage

pletiOn of the Panama Canal will
