RESPONSIBILITY OF LEADING
One Must Lose Thought of Self and
Be Conscious Of the Needs
Of Others.

Mrs. Margaret Bottome, president of
the Kings Daughters, writes:
Il learned a lesson this morning that
will always be helpful to me. A friend
was telling me of an incident in her life
as a musician. Her husband had ar
ranged a musical entertainment for the
benefit of some charity, and my friend
was playing the organ and leading the
band of music as well as the choir boys,
but In the midst OF it all she became
so fascinated with the fine execution of
the band and so delighted with the sing
ing of the choir boys that she ceased
playing and listened. All at once her
husband rushed up to her, exclaiming:
Don't you know that you are leading?
They are waiting for your In an instant
her hands were CT the organ, and she
resumed her leadership. How quickly
l saw how careful we must be! Others
are following us and We must not stop.
when Christ se'., to Peter, I have
prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not
he had his mind on others. My friend
said afterwards, when she realized what
she had done, she was almost overcome
at thinking how serious a matter it
might have been. / am sure we do not
know what our keeping the music Of
faith and hope and love going is doing
for others. No man liveth unto him
self l suppose all Of life is only a
rehearsal for the perfect concert of
heaven, but W have our part to play,
and others are following us, whether
we know it or not"

VIII Remove the Old Houses.

Superintendent Ford, of the
Queen & Crescent system, has adj
dressed a letter to the railroad COM
mission stating that if the order pre-
'iously adopted in regard to conces-
slons for new seed houses on the A.
& V. division right-of-way is to be
enforced at once, he will instruct the
parties now having seed houses at
stations to remove same within thir-
ty days. The commission has not
yet answered Mr.. Ford's commune
cation.

Remembering the Name.

Some time ago a little follow was left
in charge of relatives while his parents
were away on a holiday. The boy was
soon quite at home with his new custo-
dams, and in short time regarded them
as his father and mother. When his real
parents returned, the little fellow treated
their advances with Indifference. Then
it was the father remembered a peculiar
phrase he had been accustomed to use,
and putting out his arms used the words
in the old familiar way. The boys face
at once lighted up, and with a sudden
jump he leaped into his fathers arms.
When Jesus turned and said Mary"
she at once recognized His voice, and
turning saith sunto Him, "Rabboni,"
which is to say, Master.

Loss by ~IrregularitY.

No man can do his best work irreg-
ularly. Every man must allow for in
t -%rruptions in his life and plans; life
would not be worth living without in
terruptions. But the Interruptions that
God sends into our life are very different
from the irregularities that we allow
there. Physicians warn us against ir-
regularity in our meal hours; the sys-
tenn will do better work and last longer
if it's needs are supplied regularly; sc
will a fine watch that is regularly wound
says the Sunday School Times. And ii
our physical bodies need food regularly
Low much more does our spiritual life!
A man cannot tuck in his morning or
evening prayers haphazard,-before
breakfast, after breakfast, in bed or out
of bed, and gain any such sustenance
from them as God intends he should
have. If prayer is worth anything, it is
worthy of it's W regular place in our
lives,-and that place is supreme.

Need Of the Nation.

"This nation has need of women OF
leisure, women who have time to be
very busy about the things that are
without money and without price," said
Dean Emery in her address to the grad
uating class at the Women's college,
Brown university. mo n has any
wish to quarrel with the Quickening In
terests which have come into women's
lives, but 1t is certain that If all the
women in the future are to be too buoy
to attend to the things that are without
money and without price, If they are to
be harried and hurried Owe the things
Of the world. the whole of life will be-
come incomparably the poorer"

The above figures speak for them
selves, and easily put Mississippi in
the forefront with her sister States.
AS much has been written and
printed regarding the prizes awarded
the Mississippi exhibits at the expo
sition. and as all of the people of our
State are proud of the showing she
has made here. notwithstanding some
u~nfavorable and ill~4considered criti-
cism, and as no full list of these
awards has heretofore been printed,
the State commissioner is pleased to
submit them to the public, as Of
1cially reported to him by the chiefs
of the exposition palaces.
1t is known that Mississippi has re-
ceived two grand prizes on her lead
ing products-cotton and timber
being the highest recognition that can
be given to any country, State, prod
uct or exhibit, but it is not known
that the State has received nine med
ais on her agricultural exhibit, ten
on her educational exhibit, five ON
her mineral exhibit exhibit, and others
in forestry, transportation and ma
chinery; while there is no doubt that
the State will take some valuable
prizes in the horticultural building
when the jury makes it's final report,
which will not be given to the public
until after the fall fruits are received
and examined.
The following is the list of prizes
awarded to Mississippi as officially re
ported:
AGRICULTURE.
Grand Prize-To the State of Mis-
sissippi on best exhibit of cotton.
Gold Medal-To the State of Missis-
sippi on collective agricultural exhibit.
Gold Medal-To the State of Missis-
sippi on canned goods, grains and
grasses.
Gold Medal-To Charles Scott,

Mississippi at the Fair.


The following letter from the
Hon. r. H. Henry, Mississippi's
commissioner at the Worlds Fair,
explains itself, and needs no COM
ment:
st. Louis, Oct. 2S, 1904.
Notwithstanding the lateness OF the
season and the chilly weather here,
the attendance upon the Worlds FAR
continues large, a~ggregating o
one million people per week, and The
tide from Mississippi and the other
Southern States is undated. The
large attendance from the South, in
view of the fact that active business
has begun In that section, is most
gratifying to the exposition manage
ment. While the weather is cool. 1t
is clear, crisp and bracing, nc rain
having fallen for several weeks.
The register of the Mississippi
Building shows large arrivals from
that State every day, and as the State
bureau has ordered the early closing
of Beauvoir, Mississippi people who
desire to see the replica of the last
Jill vi ShC utOtAhSotohSN 1890
soldier and Southern idol, should
come on at once.
The Mississippi exhibits are still in
tact, as are the exhibits Of all the
States, and now that Mississippi has
taken so many prizes, they will prove
more interesting to our. people than
ever, before. Each day, however,
causes deterioration, a. the exhibits
are accommodating dust and becoming
shop worm" but they are still at
~tractive and will prove interesting and
quite a revelation to people who have
labored under the impression that
Mississippi is q one-crop State, as
they show quantity, quality and va
riety; everything. in fact, that our
soil is capable of pr~oducing-a va
riety of products the equal Of any
State in the Union.
While it is true that cotton is Mis-
sissippi's staple money crop, the fol
lowing copy of placards posted at our
leading exhibits will show the extent
and val1a of our diffaraDt nroductS.

<.DUT as many as received Him, to
II them gave He" Jesus does
not come empty-handed. The Divine
guest comes laden with gifts of eternal
richness and worth. To as many as
receive Him He gives. 1t is the pretty
custom in the oriental countries for the
guest to bring his gift, his treasure,
and bestow it upon the gracious host.
Constant reference is made to this GUS
tom in the Scriptures, a notable instance
being the visit Of the queen Of Sheba
to King Solomon. He received her gra-
ciously and showed her the ~splendor
and magnifcence of all his palaces,
and she in turn opened up her treasure
stores which had been brought on the
long train of camels that had accompa-
MED her and gave to him gold and pre-
cious stones and r spices. And in
this country It is q common thing for
one making a visit to carry gifts to the
friends in the home that is to welcome
and shelter them. And It Is a beautiful
figure which our text brings before us.

strength that is left, he brings the dag
ger down. Too late, you cry! At the
very portals of the city Of refuge he
must perish! All, no, thank God! The
arms of the waiting Levites reach out
to save The willing hands take hold
where the others strength has failed,
and while the avenging blade is cut
ting the air in its fierce downward
plunge, the PROSTATE form is lifted
within the gates. He is safe! He is
safe! And never a soul that fees for
refuge to Christ is overtaken by the
avenger, Death. The a c is desperate.
All seems to be lost, but in that mo-
ment of helplessness, in that time of
imminent peril when sin is seeking to
infict it's deadly wound, at just that
instant the arms of Jesus reach out and
and lift in gracious, loving, ten
der grasp to the place of safety at His
side. He receiveth sinful men, and non
who come to Him are ever cast out. II
the cause Of the refugee was not just:
II he had killed In willful anger, then
he was delivered up into the hands Of
the avenger Of blood. But here is
where the type is defective and fails
to set forth the perfect work Of grace
which Jesus performs for the sinner.
The guiltless only were sheltered with
In the city of refuge. The guilty only
are sheltered within the refuge which
Christ affords. He came not to call
the righteous, but sinners, to repent
ance. He receiveth not the worlds best,
but the worlds worst. He receiveth sim
uers and only sinners.
