The tobacco trade and growers of
this State are rejoicing over the IA
vorable prospects for the passage of
bill by the present congress re

vulsed by passion, pinched by poverty,
shadowed by sorrow, branded with re-
morse; bodies consumed with sloth,
broken down by labor, tortured by dis
ease, dishonored in foul uses; intel
lects without power, hearts without
hope, minds earthly and devilish; our
bones full of the sin Of our youth, the
Heaven revealing our iniquity, the
earth rising up against us, the roots
dried up beneath and the branches cut
off above; we'll for us only, if, after
beholding this our natural face in
glass, we desire not straightway TO
forget what manner of men we be-"
So surely does the face bear the marks
of the life. We cannot escape it. We
may attempt to mask the real self be-
hind pleasant exterior, but the real
self flashes out unawares and betrays
the actor. 1 have studied faces which
were handsome and which lit up with
an attractive light. But as the first i'm
pressiOns faded away the real self
began to stand out upon the face and l
could trace here and there lines which
l knew meant there was something in
that life and heart which was dishon-
oring to God and harmful to the life.
A little child not having learned to
mask the face and hide behind it the
evil in the heart and life can be clearly

Shine, because the world is watch

One who can transform the life and
put a song il the mouth and a new

Christian, that perhaps the reason
your face is not lit up with Heavenly
light is because the joy of the fullness
of the presence of the Christ is not felt
within. Go back a few verses in the
story of Stephen and you will learn
the secret of his shining face He was
full of faith and the Holy Ghost, and
grace and power, and he wrought
nightly for his Lord. And if You
would have your face shine you must
have the same presence within. That
which is within a man is what shines
out of man. You may be able to per-

speak the Gospel message without
faith or the Spirits prompting, but
you cannot illuminate your face with
the radiance of the Christ unless He is
within and faith is claiming all thu
richness of His fellowship. That lamp
cannot give forth light unless the
fame is within, and you cannot wit
ness for Christ by the radiance of
your face unless the Christ is within to
illuminate it withal. Let us then seek
the filing of the Spirit that the wit

THE face then more or less surely

And the Christians face above all 9TH
ers should be in harmony with the pro-
fession. A face lighted up with the
radiance of the indwelling Christ is a
recommendation, an Endorsement, of
the Gospel which is well-nigh irresis-
tible. Saul was among those who be-
held the face of Stephen as it had been
the face of an angel. How much do
you suppose his conversion was due to
the light which he saw radiating from
the face of that brave disciple that
day? Much, | believe. l do not be-
lieve he ever forgot that face. l do not
believe, sleeping or waking, he could
shake off the consciousness that be-
hind that man Stephen was the shin
ing presence of the One he preached as
the Christ, the Saviour of men. That
wonderful face and that startling cli-
max which came when the eyes of
Stephen penetrated to the very heart
of Heaven and he declared that he saw
the Son of Man standing on the right
hand of Cod" Saul saw the shining
face, and could not help connecting it
with the vision which Stephen had.
Christ in Heaven the source of the
light which shone from his uplifted
face. Day and night, l believe, Saul
pondered over these two things-ths
face and the vision-until at last on
that eventful day near Damascus the
full light of Christ's presence, of which
on Stephens face he had seen a reflec-
ton, burst in upon his soul and over
whelmed him. 1t takes the shining face
to indorse the testimony for Christ.

the wild animal which killed num-

kill the animal without success, and
nothing had been heard from 1t for
some time.
Last night Mr.. Bell heard COM
motion among his chickens and pigs,
and taking his rife along visited the
stable. He noticed a large animal
and killed it on the first shot. It's
hide was full Of holes, showing that
it had been wounded repeatedly by
the hunters who were chasing it.
The jaguar was seven feet long. 1t
is supposed that it escaped from
