of the contemporaries of Jesus Christ, who declare that Christ was divine. Why? Because, as l read those testlmo- nies I find, with but one exception or possibly two, they were all sealed with the lifeblood of martyrdom. Here is the honor roll Matthew was slain with a sword in Ethiopia: Mark was dragged through the streets of Alexandria until his brains were dashed out and the matted hair stuck to the walls and the rocks; Luke's mode of death is not known positively but tradition says he was slain for Christ; John, the only apostle who died natural death was not only exiled but also cast into a caldron of boiling oil; James the Great was beheaded in Jerusalem; James the Jess was hurled from the top of the tenn pie to the ground and there beaten to death with club Stephen was stoned to death; Philip was hanged, St. Bartholo- new was nayed alive-that means his skin was peeled off of his quivering flesh while he was yet eonseious' the by islanders standing about the sufferer at the time and mocking him; Andrew preached from the cross while the peo- ple scoffed at his dying agonies; Thomas was pierced by a lance; simon Helotes was killed in Persia; mattathias was murdered; Paul. Poiycarp, lgnatus and scores of others were al as 1 said be- fore, martyred.
 Is it rational to suppose that those men who lived in Christs time, who were able to verify his miracles, would have been willing to endure hardship and per secution and finally to lay down their lives for Christ if they knew him to be an impostor? Why, the supposltion is absurd! The Christian disciples who lived as contemporaries of Jesus Christ would never have been willing to come by night and steal his body from the tomb and then be willing to be martyred to make good their false claim that Christ had risen from the dead.- These men were not fools any more than you and l are fools. Before you explain away the d. vinity of Jesus Christ you must explain away the writings of Paul, of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, of Polycarp and Ignatius When we consider the "evi- dence of things not seen" let us not omit the testimony of these contemporaries of Christ who proved the sincerity and truth of their record by dying rather than deny 1t.

Many Lawyers Won.

This studying of the gospel evidence as evidence has won the allegiance of many of our greatest lawyers to Christ as well as laymen. This fact was true of the conversion of Solomon P. Chase,

A Continual strain.

Many men and women are constantly
subjected to what they commonly term
"a continual strain" because OF some
financial or family trouble. 1t wears
and distresses them both mentally and
physically, affecting their nerves badly
aud bringing on liver and kidney all
ments, with the attendant evils OF
constipation, loss Of appetite, sleepless-
ness, low vitality and dependency.
They cannot, as rule, get rid OF this
continual strain" but they can remedy
its misunderstanding effects by taking
frequent doses OF Green's August
Flower. 1t tones up the liver, stimu-
lates the kidneys, insures healthy
bodily functions, gives vim and spirit to
ones whole being, and eventually dis
pels the physical or, mental distress
caused by that continual strain" Trial

THE following extract is taken
from the Brownsville correspon-
dence in a recent issue of the Kan
sas City Packer: Frank Champion,
the well known merchandise broker,
of this place, speaks in quite an
enthusiastic vein as follows: This
country is now connected by rail
with other systems, and Our farm
ers realize the benefits that can be
derived in planting truck in place
OF corn, beans and cotton, that
have been heretofore their main
crops. This fall several hundred
acres of land will be planted in
vegetables, and because of our
geographical location we should be
able to supply the markets of the
country with vegetables two or
three weeks earlier than any other
point.

MUST NOT 90 TOO Ear.

The strikers in Minneapolis ap-
pear to have gone TO greater lengths
in the interference with the rights
of property and Of unorganized
labor than is compatible with an
intelligent conception of law or
justifable conduct.
The strikers are reported to have
taken complete control Of the pack
cries, to have formed a guard
around the buildings and to have
refused entrance to the owners,
officials or non-union workmen.
1t is, of course, impossible for
such a hold-up as this, such a
defiance of lawful authority, Ito be
tolerated so long as there IS a
semblance of lawful authority in
the land, and with the conditions
as represented Governor Van Zant
could not properly hesitate for an
instant to call out the state troops
to aid the local officials in protect
ing life and the rights of property.
With the abstract question as to
who is right or who is wrong in
the controversy between the pack
cries and their employees Governor
Van Zant has nothing whatever to
do in his official capacity. With
the question as to whether citizens
of the state shall have the protec-
ton of the law he has much to do
and he should have the courage
and determination to do what his
duty demands with promptness and
decision.
The strike leaders in Chicagoand
Kansas City have pursued very
conservative policy and have strict
" prohibited, as far as IN then
powers, any disorders or interfer-
ence with vested rights of their OPP
ponents. They have done nothing
to ALLEVIATE that hoped-for public
sympathy which they think should
be with them and without which
they cannot expect to win. There
is not, and in the nature OF things
cannot be, much public sympathy

THE local organ Of the butchers
in New York says it is perfectly
absurd to talk Of meat famine as
result of the strike of the packing
house employees, however protract-
ed it may be. The FIVE enormous
concerns to which the strike is
limited, it is declared, might all be
wiped of the earth, by fire OF
otherwise, and yet an adequate
supply of meat would not be lack
ing. ANY farming heighborhood
has men who can kill and dres:
beef. These people study the mar
kets. Suppose farmer hears thai
the wholesale price of dressed bee
in New York is 10 cents a pound
He sees a profit of $40 head if he
dresses his steers himself, and he
will be quick to grasp the chance. >
From all of which it may be eon'
cluded that the strike may have q
good effect in teaching self-reliancs
and an independence of the meat
trust which had not been felt for
several years.-Express.

DURING the campaign of 1900
most of the cattlemen were tearing
their shirts off whooping up things
politically for the success of the
Republican ticket. At that time a
baldfaced calf was as good for $40
as dime was for a ginger cake,
and their argument was that to
keep Republican was to keep up
the price of beef. In ore respect
their argument has come true. 1t
requires double the amount OF
coin to buy a pound of steak now
that it did then, but the prices
that cattle are now selling for as
compared to those good times is
not quite half. The cattlemen got
lost somewhere in the shuttle. =

with the bloated meat trust. The
public knows all too well how il
has been bled by this packeries
monopoly which has exercised the
power of monopolistic combination
to Cypress both the cattlemen who
are compelled to trade with them
and the meat consumers who have
been compelled to buy their pro-
ducts. The public would be only
too glad to see the trust made to
act fairly with its employees and
with the public as well. but only
lawful methods to accomplish such
result will be approved or tolerat-
ed.
If the Minneapolis strikers have
made up their minds to confscate
private properly and TO engage in
open rebellion against the consti-
tuted authorities they are the mis-
guided victims of reckless lead
ership which will do them infinite
harm and render their success i'm
possible even III a contest in which
they were primarily in the right.
1t is to be hoped cooler counsels
will prevail before any necessity
for extreme measures by the State
shall arise. The experience of Col
orado ought to be a warning to all
parties to let sober judgment have
sway and to discourage force as a
substitute for persuasion as long as
possible, but when the law is defed
the law must assert itself with con-
vincing emphasis. A Express.

amendments to the rules are to be recon-
