INTERESTING ADDRESS BY REV j. H.
DAVIS AT GAYLORDsvILLE CHURCH.
Rev DR. Davis, pastor of the Sher-
man Congregational church, preached
in the Methodist church, Gaylords
vile, on last Sunday evening. His
subject was GLOW much can you lift.
The text was taken from Acts 3: 7:
"And he took him by the right hand
and lifted him up" etc. The preach
er opened up the subject by examples
of physical strength, citing Samsons
feats and the wonderful exhibition of
strength of men of to-day. Some men
can lift and carry loads heavier than
themselves. A man has lifted horse,
but the greatest physical feat is out
done by the lifting Of fellow man.
A man can lift his brother in many
ways, by education, encouragement and
kindness, by purifying environment,
etc, but the grandest lift to give a
fellow man is the moral and spiritual,
i. e. to lift in the strength of Jesus
Christ as these men did. To bring a
man to Christ is to lift man. Christ
within man means resident power
and not an outside polish from educa-
ton or social restraint. Education
makes many a man worse in his life
and more wise in sinful ways. Christ
in the springs of mans being mean
manhood without experiment. Many
fear to try to lift others, some because
of the lack of High school or college
diplomas, etc. Peter and John had no
parchment, no culture, others in Je-
rusalem were trained Theologicians,
ETC., but these men could lift another
because they knew Christ. Who cares
anything about the other men called
scholars, etc who dispersed Peter and
John? No one. Then some feel that
to be poor means their service is of o
account. The Doctor said, 81 fancy l
see Peter feeling in his pockets for
money and finding none he turns to
John and says John, I have nothing
to give, have you any money!" John
replied II have nothing" Then Pet
er gave the man the greatest gift of
his life. Not all the wealth of Jerusa-
his poverty gave again. These two
disciples were on the way to prayer
and yet had spiritual power enough
left over from the last prayermeeting
to help the lame man. In these times
the prayermeetingS are so seldom at
tended and spiritual life Is so Scant
that most of US would have to tell the
man we were exhausted and when we
had been to prayermeeting we might
Oe aOlo 10 give ulm 1llU spiritually.
The fact is that the man who lifts his
fellow man lifts himself. The good
Samaritan did a good thing for the
poor wounded man but he did more
for himself. He found himself larg-
er man and had the consciousness that
be had done good act. The sermon
was quite lengthy but interesting in a
high degree and closed with telling il
Illustrations: A picture is found in
many homes of a young lady on a rock
in the midst of the sea holding on to a
cross. That is beautiful picture but
a better one is the picture of lady in
a like position amid boiling waves and
angry seas clinging with one hand to a
cross and reaching out with the other
hand to save another from death.
How much can you lift? What is your
moral and spiritual power? How
much can you lit and to what spirit
ual altitude? Will you try?~

Begins Life Anew.

For some time the Hon. William NJ. Stewart, known among his cronies as 'BiIT Stewart. has been out of sight. He represented Nevada for five terms that is thirty years-in the United States senate. There was an inter mission of twelve years between his second and third terms. He retired from the senate last March. His age was given as 7S. He seems to have lived several centuries. MT. Stewart was reputed to be very wealthy. IL is different, however. He has return ed to his Nevada home to seek his for tune anew. Nevada is turning out some huge fortunes at present and the Hon. 'BilT may recuperate.
 In the senate he had a varied and active career. He was a republican of the silver stripe. When the bolt oc- cured in 1896 and the silver men left the Hon. "BilT went with them.
 He delivered long and windy speeches on the silver question and the "bondhoIders conspiracy" He was the original discoverer of the famous "crtme of '73." of which we heard so much a few years ago and of which we now hear nothing. When the siI- yer issue dropped out the Hon. Bill" turned republican again. But he nev- CT recovered his old time windiness. Congressional printers had to work overtime to put up his speeches and his wind far exceeded that of Battling Nelson or the Hon. Jim" Britt
 Et appears that soon after he left Washington, MT. Stewart purchased a sheep herder's tent and a pair of mules and drove through the mining camps of the state. He was a regular old timer, a forty-niner. otherwise he would have made his tour in a motor car. The Hon. "RilI" scorned Tonopah because the sanitary conditions did not suit him. He has finally landed at Bull Frog. He hung out a plain shingle bearing the legend of William w. Stewart, lawyer" He wears a corduroy suit high boots. and som brero and is said to be a dead shot with a pistol. He is about to begin life again where he started.
 Bull Frog is full of disputes and contentious. The Hon. ''BiI' is no crOaker and already he has his hands full of mining litigation. He intends to make another fortune and he may do it. Mir. Stewards career holds out encouragement for others who may have had d run of hard luck and fail ures. One is never too old to start again, provided he has the health and

Ladies and the Liberal Arts.

There is no doubt that there is a concerted movement by American wo- men to corner culture. A very brief and symphony concerts will convince the observer that all the music is be- ing absorbed by the ladies. Three fouuths of theater audiences are wo- men and the remaining fourth are merely escorts. Add to this the ac- tivities of the women's clubs and com pare them with that of the mems as- sociations. commercial. athletic and for insurance. The evidence is all one way and overwhelming.
 This being the case. President An geITs declaration that women students are driving men out of the colleges of liberal arts and herding them in the technical schools can occasion no sur prise.
 But if l. occasions no surprise, it ought to give rise to some regret. Time was when men took not a little pride in their enjoyment of the hu- manities. Smith rather fancied his taste in eighteenth century verse. Brown could quote Horace to the point Jones read his Homer on long winter evenings Now Jones, Brown or Smith is dumb when madame holds forth on The Ring and the Book" or cites Ibsen to confute his archaic SO ciaI theories.
 The situation, indeed, is a grave one. Labor vincit omnes is an ex- ploded prOverb. Man may have thought to rule by training himself in technical schools to definite en- ciency. But he is finding that he has only taught himself to serve. Each year a matriarchate looms larger on the horizon, and already no one doubts that while she does not grasp the shadow of authority she holds the sub stance.
