suits, provided we are doing our duty.
II we succeed In Gods sight, 1t doesn't
matter very much whether we succeed
in mans sight or not.
4. It Is right for us to feel our own
weakness. In fact, this Is a necessary
condition of success In the Christian
life and in Christian work. 1t is sine
qua non. When we do realize our own
weakness in the right way, this very
weakness becomes an element of
strength. God says: mot by might,
nor by power, but by My spirit" Paul
says: God hath chosen the weak
things Of the world to confound the
things that are mighty" Again he
says: when I am weak, then am i
strong" In the Christian life and In
Christian work, we can never become
strong, until we first become weak.
Our weakness, by the grace OF God,
becomes an element of strength and
power. We must just be emptied of
self, before we can be filled with
Christ. And when we are filled with
Christ we are strong indeed.
So 1t was with Moses. His very
weakness becomes a source Of strength
and power. Realizing his own weak
ress and unworth!ness, he looked to
God for help and direction, and God
came to his relief with divine power
and wisdom. And was 1t not so, that
the very difficulties which stood In his
way became In the hands Of God aids
to his success? Every obstacle became
stepping stone to victory. These
things, at first, were great, steep, Inn
passable, mountains; but faith could

ABLE SERMON BY DR.. NEVILLE.

Interesting Application Of the Story Of
Moses-Men Should Give Unqnes-
tionins Obedience to the Will of God,
Without Concern as to Consequences.
Following Is the sermon that Rev.
DR.. w. G. Neville delivered in the Pres
byterian church last Sunday morning
on the occasion Of the installation Of
Rev. E. E. Gillespie. 1t was listened
to with close attention by the entire
congregations:
And Moses said unto God, Who am
I, that l should go unto Pharaoh. and
that I should bring forth the children
Of Israel out Of Egypt ?'-Exodus
III. II.
Gods ways are not mans ways; nor
are Gods thoughts mans thoughts.
Gods ways are infinitely better than
mans ways and Gods thoughts are
infinitely higher than mans thoughts.
God sees the end from the beginning.
He knows every possible contingency
that may arise and He has provided
for every emergency. In fact, there
are no contingencies and emergencies
with God.
These truths stand out conspicuously

I'M the life Of Moses, and have been
signalized in his life work and In his
preparation for this work.
In the providence of God. and by the
providence of God, Moses had been pre-
pared for a special work. God had
prepared. the work for Moses and now
He. prepares Moses for the work. The
two-the work and the man-are both
in the hands Of God: Moses from his
birth and his work long before he Is
born. Every thing connected with the
work and the man was under Gods
immediate control and direction.
The Work-God had before His peo-
pie a glorious history and magnifi-
cent destiny. They were to be deliv-
cred from Egyptian bondage and car
ried to the promised land. They were
to be conducted through a long period
Of instruction and discipline. Moses
was to be the leader, and, In the hands
of God. the creator Of much Of the his
tory Of Gods people.
The Man.-God prepared Moses for
this great work. Moses was OF God s
special preparation, the resultant of
many forces. Wrought upon by inspir-
alton, he was able to be legislator.
statesman, leader, poet saint. because
he was so variedly trained. An excep-
tional man in original gifts, he was
equally exceptional In his opportuni-
ties" God was eighty years In prepar-
ing Moses for his life-work. But when
Moses reached the end Of his long and
eventful training. he was thoroughly
prepared for his great work.
Having prepared this work for Moses

THE eAFFNEY TIN MINES.
Government Experts Make Examina-
tion Into Their Probabilities.

The United States geological survey
has just issued a most inter sting bull
letin showing the result Of the tin ore
taken from the mines near Gaffney.
Nearly all Of the tin mined In the Uni
ted States during the year 1904 came
from the Gaffney mine, South Dakota,
or Buck Creek. Alaska
Nearly all Of the tin mined was ship
ped to England for smelling. Although
about forty per cent Of the tin ore, pro-
duced In the world is consumed In the
United States, there has been practical
ly no production Of the metal In this
country until the last year or two.
Durlrg the past few years the pro-
duction Of tin in the world has not
been equal to the demand. and the ac-
cumulated stocks Of tin that have been
held In various countries have become
very much diminished since 1896. One
of the chief reasons for this increas-
ing demand for tin is the large growth
of the canning industry. and also Of
the use of tin boxes and cases In ship
ping sundry articles.
On account Of the demand for tin and
the high price II brings, new in
dustry was started a few years ago
which Is known as "detinning'' tin
scrap and this has now become Of con-
siderable Importance I'm the United
States. Many tons OF metallic tin and
chemical salts Of tin, are procured
each year from the chemical or elec-
trolytic treatment CT the new tin
scrap which is obtained from tin cans
and fruit factories.
Besides the tin ore produced in the
United States most Of the ore comes
from the Malay States, Banka, and Bill
liton, Bolivia, England and Australia
A very small quantity is also produced
in Austria, Germany, Japan and Mexi-
CO. The greater part Of the tin con-
sumed in the United States comes from
the Malay Peninsula

and having prepared Moses for the
work. God brings the two together. God
calls and Moses answers. The divine
call came to Moses as he approached
the mountain of God, Horeb. This call
came from the burning bush. Moses
was filled with CONSERVATION and grea'
establishment.
1t is not surprising that Moses
shrank from this work. when we look
at it from a human point Of view. He
knew some of the difficulties In the
way, and when he took a calm and
dispassionate view Of them, he thought
the work was too great for him.
Let us look at some of these ditticul j.
ties and let us see how God removed
them, every one of them.

that should bring forth the children

compared to such work? How can
liberate two million people fro:n ono
Of the most powerful and magnihcen'
governments on earth? Moses knew
something about the strength and re-
sources of this government. He also
knew the people who were to be liper
ated. He did not feel equal to this
great work.
How did God remove this dihculty OF
personal unworthiness? He says

SKINS OF WILD ANIMALS.
Many Are Becoming Scarce and In.

creasing In value.
Skins Of wild animals are daily be-
coming more rare and valuable.
The spread of civilization is the ex-
termination Of the monarchs Of the
plain, the forest, the jungle and the
hills, and their hides now orna-
ment many a museum, clubhouse
and drawing room.
The skin Of the lion, the king of
be tsts, is among the most valuable
Of the rare skins. 1t Is kingiy, even
as was the animal himself and
reveals the great strength and cour-
age of the mighty form that 1t once
protected. The skin of the full
grown lion Is about three yards
long and one and one-half yards
wide. It's hair is neither bright
nor pretty, but its great shaggy name
crowns It like rare jewel and
makes 1t valuable. n'l
The skin Of the tiger is much
prettier. than the skin of the lion,
and 1t, too, reveals the character Of
the beast which 1t once protected.
It's bearded cheeks reveal the IT,
gers ferocity and cunning, and Its
yellow and black tiger stripes and
It's white belly tell Of the stealthy
nature Of the great cat.
The American jaguar furnishes
pretty skin. despite its reddish
white belly and its spots instead of
stripes. The leopard, too. has a
pretty pelt, its fur being light yell
low with black spots. The skin OF
the black panther is also much ad-
mired.
Bear skins are trophies in many
a civilized home. The black or the
Canadian bear Is the most common.
The polar bear supplies beautiful,
soft, white, furry skin. but It Is very
rare. The skin of the American
grizzly Is now also quite rare. Al.
though deer and moose are common
game for hunters, yet few have
succeeded In preserving their pelts
with the fur on for any long period.
The American black wolf skin.
with white spots on its snout and
breast, is admired by some people.
The Siberian wolf furnishes a fine,
soft fur skin. Among farmer lads
In this country 1t Is popular to
catch foxes during the winter and to
tan their skins for rugs and for or
namenta. but the fox skin today isn't
by any means as valuable as are
the skins Of larger and fiercer ami
mails, though the fox Is growing more
and more scarce.
A coat of skin of reindeer fawns
only few days old is said to be
worth thousands of dollars. The
skins match perfectly in color. and
they are doubled so that the coat
Is the same inside as outside. This
coat is as light as an ordinary rain
coat. bat warmer than heavy fur,
and It is also waterproof.
Some skins of Manchurian tigers
are also valuable. One skin is IA
feet long. A monster skin is that
from a 1900 pound grizzly, It,
measures IA feet long, and the
bears head is two feet thick. Some
rabbit skins from New Zealand may
also be seen, though rabbit skins
are not as rare or valuable. From

turbed to any great extent, it
should be done, and done, soon.
This state is settling up very rap
idly and the natural beauty is
being destroyed in the course of
development. numbering is play
ing havoc with our forests, and
mining is doing the same with our
streams; both are important factors
in the states growth, but one spot
should be preserved from either as
place of healthful change and
recreation for the people of the
state. The importance of this will
be more noticeable each year, I'M
til at last (if provision is not made
in the meantime) the state will
have to purchase parks at great
expense, as California is doing, and
they will never be such parks as
those Nature has made for us.
The Payette lakes is an ideal
place for the purpose, and is easily
accessible to the more thickly peo-
pied sections of the state, and with
railways that are surely coming,
the place will be within a few
hours ride of the capital city.
The matter should not be allow
ed to rest until the object is accom-
plished, and should be worked for
by all who are interested in the
future of our grand state.

Senate Joint Resolution No. 8
providing for constitutional amend
ment allowing exemption of rail
roads from taxation for not more
than ten years, passed both senate
and house. AS we understand #
this will have to be voted on bv
the people before it can become a
law. Its object is to ENCOURAGE
railroad building, and under it's
provisions such railroads as want
to benefit under it must commence
construction within one year. 1t
should have marked effect on a

Elsewhere in this issue, we pub

Fred. 5. Logue on this question
which fully explains it. Mr.. Logue
has been quietly but diligently
working in the matter, and so has
Senator Hiatt, and it would appear
from the result of their labors that
the people will have to give up all
hope OF having a state park created
out of the state lands surrounding
the lakes; unless it is possible to
effect an exchange with the nation
al government of the specific land
grant for other land, and then ask
ing the national government to
deed the land around the lakes to
the state for a state park. The
present national administration is
very favorable to such measures
for the public good, and if a way
were open for favorable action in
that quarter we could call it done.
The national government has
withdrawn all it's holdings around
the lakes from entry for reserve
purposes, and possibly, if worked
for, this could be gotten by the
state for state park. In a neigh
boring state, Utah, a petition to the
national government for the setting
