there was time when you wanted to
save your brother Joe for his own sake
now there comes a greater inspiration
INTO your life. You want to save him
because you can make your mother
happy, who is dying on account of Joe's
sins. Is not this the figure of Gods
love? The Christian orator is inspired
with desire to save sinful man from
eternal death for himself. But more
Ihan that-aye, far more than that
ne Is inspired with the transcendent
nope of pleading for man TO turn from
SIN and be saved in order to satisfy
the desire of divine Father for the
return of his prodigals. He does it
now for Christ's sake-for Christ's
sake. For God so loved the world
that he gave his only begotten Son, that
Whosoeyer believeth on him should not

gospel orator not only plead to save
men for themselves, but to save men
Tor the sake of the divine Fathers

The Power of the Holy Spirit.
mus, while the sublime oratory of
the gospel speaker may be awakened
by many different inspirations, its
mlghtiest factor is due to the power or
the Holy Spirit himself When Jesus
Christ stood up before the Jewish peo-
pie to speak, his hearers intuitively felt
there was a strange, superhuman and
a divine power about him. When the
true Christian orator arises to speak.
then also this strange influence is felt.
The same divine influence that Christ

for Christ distinctly says that the very
works he did we may do if we will
only let the Holy Spirit live in US.

The gospel orator is mighty when he
pleads for one whom he would save
from eternal death. He naturally has
all the fire, all the enthusiasm. all the
pent up passion of lawyer pleading
at the bar of justice trying to save the
neck of a client who is being tried for
murder in the first degree Aye, he
has more than that. He has all the in |

entire Van Nest family of Auburn. N. |

cry word he utters, every gesture he
makes, every thought that is born in
his brain, has the mighty purpose of
saving some man from eternal death.
Nightly as a Christian lawyer does
he plead for the salvation OF men.
But the Christian orator has a higher
and even greater inspiration than the
saving Of sinful men and women from
eternal death. He stands in a UNIQUE
position. He is not only pleading for
the salvation of men, but also for what
is pleasing to God. And of all inspira-
lions to ''sublimest oratory'' there is no
inspiration like unto that.

Have q Hobby.

The best thing in the world for
nerves is sleep, the next proper food,
the third proper dress. But as good
as any Of these is hobby.
How often does one hear the express
sion, "Oh, that is So-and-So's hobby"
spoken rather disparagingly! 1t is the
tendency Of the average mind to re-
gard a person who has pronounced
enthusiasm as a species Of harmless
lunatic, rather to be pitied. The truth
Of the matter is that any one who mas
any especial fad is greatly to be en-
Wed, as it probably provides more III
terest and amusement for its possessor
than anything else. Any decided in
terest in life, whether it is dignified
by the name of an occupation or is
simply an enthusiasm, or even men
toned slightingly as fad, is eminent
~ desirable.

1t is a curious phase of our humanity
that we will work diligently to make

A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.
Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be-
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs, and strength comes from a
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure Of indigestion.
"They have been my best DOCTOR" he
says. IT was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains i'll nay stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result of using eight
boxes of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits of which I learned from
friends in France, I have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure i'll eating"
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been a tragic one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure Ill living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely question Of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is native OF
Aix-les- Bains, France, but now resides
at No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco,
Gal. He is one of great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills in the treatment
of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would get rid of nausea. pain or
burning in the stomach, vertigo, her.
vousness, insomnia, or any Of the other
miseries of dyspeptic, get rid Of the
weakness of the digestive organs by the
use Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, aud
little book, "What to Eat and How to
Eat" may be obtained by any one who
makes request for it by writing to the

AN OPPORTUNITY
For a Man with Ideas to Develop a New
Southwestern Product.

Southwestern Product.
The increase in the demand for
building material to take the place Of
wood grows out of many things. One
is the exhaustion of the forests, and
the consequent difficulty Of procuring
lumber at former prices; another is
the extension of the fire limits in
towns and cities, making a cheap and
reliable fire proof building material
prime necessity. AS q consequence the
making of cement blocks has recently
become most important branch of
business. The blocks are encroaching
heavily in the field formerly occupied
entirely by brick and the arguments
advanced are too well known to need
recital here.
This calls attention to q mine Of
wealth which exists in Southwestern
Kansas, along the line of the Rock
Island railroad, waiting for the proper
man with push to develop it. There
are tracts of land there which have ex-
haustless deposits of what is called
'gyp." 1t is white, chalky, soft rock,
running down by exposure to the ele-
ments into a white faky powder. 1t
has not been much used in the arts or
manufactures as yet, but is liable Is
soon become great factor along these
lines. Mixed with cold water it Is alb
solutely worthless; but it has been
found that if mixed with warm water
it has a use. The gyp is placed in
kettle and heated. Water mixed with
sand is heated to the same degree and
poured in. The resultant mass hardens
rapidly. a good deal like plaster OF
paris, and much resembles coarse
white porcelain. 1t has a fine polish,
and is hard, durable and waterproof. 1t
makes fine ceilings and side walls, and
would make crockery if experimental
with. Being pure white it would also
make elegant walks and pavements, at
no more expense than the cement
walks now becoming so universal.
Then, too, it can be made into building
blocks, and if moulded into shape
building composed of it would appear
like one of marble. Fancy house OF
marble, with walks and pavements Of
marble-and at the price of cement
blocks at that.
One man near Meade, Kansas, has
rooted his cabin with it, and it has
stood the test Of the elements for over
a year. The cabin attracts good deal
of attention, looking as If 1t were COW
cred with porcelain roof.

A Folding Horn.

A megaphone to be effective at any
distance has to be made Of such large
proportions that it is about as incon-
venient to carry as bass viol, and
this inconvenience of transportation
has done much to prevent the more
general use Of the instrument Even
In the smaller sizes a megaphone is a
particularly clumsy and conspicuous
object, so that the idea of a Cleveland
inventor Of furnishing such devices In
collapsible form has many meritorious
features. He proposes manufacturing

ible material having parallel sioe

It is folded up and put away. In It's
collapsed condition it takes up very
little room, and in its expanded shape
it is large, capacious enough to hold
the dishes made use Of by a good
sized family.
This device is made Of heavy wire,
and it can be readily seen from the
accompanying cut how this Is con-
structed with the object Of making 1t
fold and yet with base Of sufficient
proportions to make it entirely safe
against topping over when filed with
crockery.
