US in showing kindness. Abraham
Lincoln once tipped his hat to poor
negro slave and was taken 10 task by
some friends who saw it. His reply was
that he was never to be surpassed IN
poiiteness by a colored slave. And it
would seem at times as if we were TO be
outdone in kindness be even the dumb
creation itself A short time ago the
newspapers gave an account of the find
ing of the body of n hunter who had
lost his way in the woods. BY his side
were his two dogs who had died of
hunger in their refusal TO leave their
master to seek for food. Surely if a
dog, a street urchin Of no education, can
show such kindness, how much more we
with larger opportunities and better
equipment should be able to show.
Walk humbly with thy God. "
Justice, kindness and Cody humility,
these three. But the greatest of these
is Cody humility The possibility of
companionship with the Infinite presses
us into the dust! No higher honor is
possible either here on earth or in
Heaven than the fulfllment Of that
divine promise, Il will come and make
my abode with YOU" Yea, higher
privilege than the twelve apostles ever
enjoyed is that one of ours of com
and fellowship with the
Christ and his God. And he who denies |
himself of this greatest of earthly
privileges, though he has all knowledge /
and all education, yet he lacketh wis
dom. For until we make God our friend |
and companion we have missed the |
summum bonum of life. But this boon |
with our maker Is pos
sible ONLY on the condition that we walk |
humbly "He that humbleth himself
shall be exalted Greatness consists
not in original talents but 1t will be
found according as our Heavenly Father
Is permitted to control and operate
through our lives Mary Lyon used to
say 10 her students If YOU want to
serve your generation, 20 where no one

And he fancied himself wiser than seven

called home our beloved President,
Mrs. William Ii. Crawford, the Ladies

In season and out of season she was
always willing to do what she could for
the Master, whom she loved so well.
BY her cheerfulness, tactfulness and
winsomeness, she won every heart with
which she came in contact. Always
loyal to Christ and His Church, she
performed earnestly and faithfully each
duty for loves sake.
Possessing great executive ability,
she was indeed q leader in every good
word and work. Her life made the
world better and brighter. for Christ
lived in her.
Therefore, be it resolved:
/. That in the death of our Presi-
dent we have sustained an irreparable
loss, but we will endeavor to emu

The Memphis News-scimitar i

The Memphis News-Scimitar in
speaking OF M. Witte, says:
"Witte does things. He is the only
man who ever defeated the Standard
Oil Company. This company offered
to pay the government 40 per cent
royalty. All right, said White, "you
will pay it in DILL" And so out OF every
100 barrels of oil the company turns out,
forty are rolled into the government
warehouses. Holding an enormous re-
serve, White keeps the prices down.
When the Standard gets greedy, White
brings it TO it's knees. Americans ad-
mire him for that, perhaps more than
anything else. He is the original
trust buster. We did not think so
much of him few years ago when he
beat us out. We put beet sugar tar
if against Russia. Witte promptly
shut out our manufactured goods. 1t
was not until we cried "Hold, enough"
that he desisted."

It may reasonably be doubted if there was ever such a remarkable spec tacle presented in great city as that of all the churches of Philadelphia of. fering up prayers for the redemption of that city from the evil influences that control it. The demonstration has been in progress for two weeks, aud there are no signs of it's abate
 ment. It is something as unanimous as it is earnest. All creeds meet freely, now in one church and now in another, and every pastor, from the Roman Catholic priest to the Jewish rabbi, is heart and soul in the movement. The subject to which particular attention is given is the protection which is openly and confessedly given to the worst forms of vice by the officials of the ci y. It looks as if the prayers of the righteous citizens of Philadelphia would not be stopped until they are favorably answered.-Boston Herald.
