CONVICTIONS ARE OF VALUE.
Must Be Planted Deep II They Are to
Hold and Influence.

Nobody who is endowed with a good
mind and wants to live to his salts
faction can afford to neglect the &C
quirement Of convictions, says Edward
s. Martin in the Metropolitan. What
are they? They ought to be opinions
based on knowledge and definitely
thought out. Practically they come
in various ways-often by inheritance
or as the result of early training;
sometimes by association, sometimes
from the automatic working of the
mind during long periods when 1t is
acquiring and sitting knowledge and
experience. Sometimes. again, con-
victions seem to come suddenly, espe-
cially religious convictions, though
there is usually a long process of pre-
paratory thought behind them, and 1t
is really only the final conclusion that
Is sudden. Deep convictions on any
subject don't come ready-made. One
has to work for them; to earn them.
II they are to hold and to influence
conduct, they must be planted deep.

orlaln Of III. MonocoIe.

The proposal to permit the use OF
spectacles 70 British soldiers is a re.

came the monocle. About a century
ago an army order was issued for.
bidding officers to wear eyeglasses %
speetacles. But a short.sighted Of
fcer belonging to a crack regiment
had no mind to resign his commission
or stumble blindly, and he invented
the single e~yeglass. When called
to account by the authorities he
claimed that the monocle. being of
the singular number. did not con-
travene the order against spectacles
and glasses in the plural. Red tape
accepted this literal rendering OF the
law. and, becoming popular in the
British army the monocle was adpot.

REV. e, ]. GALE, for the past two
years the pastor of the First NJ. e.
church OF this city, preached his fare
well sermon Sunday afternoon In the
hall over the postofiice. At the con
ference meeting this week at Chilli
Gothic Rev. Gale will be transferred to
a new pastorate and it can be plainly
said that the best wishes Of his many
friends in this city go with him. The
recent destruction Of the First Meth
odist church by fire has left that con-
.gregation without a church building
and as it will probably be some time
before another house OF worship is
erected there will be no need for a
resident pastor, hence the removal OF
Rev. Gale. The latter has made many
friends during bis stay in this city,
each Of whom regret his departure
and wish for him pleasant surround
ings in the pastorate he is commission
ed TO look over.

BECAUSE Of the large crowd 10 this

ance. At present while the lights are
out and it is almost impossible TO find
ones voice 10 the dark, 1t would be a
hard job but as soon as the street
lights appear then the good work will
be an easy matter. This is not
written because we like to see what
we write 10 print but because we
want 10 see Mexico a city. We know
a nan in this city who laughs at al.
suggested improvements for Mexico
and says the town is good enough for
him. That man is losing all 81 his trade
