while were wrought out through
long and laborIous evolution. We
look upon some beautiful work OF
art and our thoughts are sent back
to the first crude images or rough
outlines of pictures made by un-
tutored hands; we listen with
rapture to some beautiful oratorio.
but for the genesis of music we
must turn to the rude drum and
the discordant chant of the bar
barian; the most noble works of
architecture are an outgrowth of
the squalid hut of thatch OF the
primitive cave. Between the two
extremes lie ages of slow develop
ment and painful endeavor; man
has worke- out his own salvation
in all the achievements of present
day civilization.
The same process has prevailed
in the higher life of man. Saints
and prophets have looked towards
the future with straining eyes;
they have sought some way by
which they might know at once
the fullness of salvation; and they
have turned again to their daily
tasks with only so much of knowl-
edge or help as they needed tor
the next step forward Yet. little
by little. through the long ages
higher standards of life and
character have been wrought out.
But over against this achieve
ment. apparently so purely human,
Paul lays equal emphasis upon
Gods part. Work out your own
salvation-it is God that worketh
in you. 1t seems like a contradic-
ton; in one clause as though man
does everything, in the other as
though God does it all. Yet we
find like conditions in other things.
The miner digs in the earth and
brings out treasures of gold. He
does the digging, he does not
make the gold. The farmer plows
the ground and sows his seed; he
does not make the seed grow and
bear fruit. The student works
diligently to secure an education,
but others write the textbooks,
furnish the schools, and the cduca,
tional system. In the working out
of our higher destiny we are
placed in a universe where moral
order prevails, where righte ous-
ness is upon the throne, our na-
lures are made in the image of
God. our lives are used by him in
the working out of his purposes,
our very existence is dependent
upon his sustaining power. But
he does not want to make puppets
of us. He wants us to do our own
thinking, to study out the right
and the wrong of things, to
develop our own individuality, and
from the standpoint of our own
personality, developed to its high
est degree, to work with him in
the carrying out OF his great pur-
poses. Let us recognize more
fully our own personal RESPONSE
bility for what we are, for what
we are to become, and let us re-
member, too, that the whole power
of God is behind us in all that we
do towards the working out of
our higher destiny.

COL. jim STONEBRARER'S VIEWS
on TREATING.

Our State Legislature sounded the key
note ~hcu they wanted TO cut our drink
down TO one dram a day. but did not Seine
what quantity there should be IN that dram
consequently the saloon agents barrel was
on tap. aud the bung was too big and q
drowned the bill. In Indiana. for example
% - proposed 10 make % unlawful Tor any
individual to pay for drinks for any o,hcr
person. or TO accept drinks thus paid ior
This BILL aud like all others OF iis kind.
proceed upon the sophlstry that treating
can be abolished by legislative enactment
There is no law making body that can stop
treating. believe drunkenness Is made a
greater evil because Of the vicious treating
custom. and ifyou know the public as well
as do. there is no statute that can remove
It. We have some men who only drink one
kind Of whskey. and that particular kind
ONLY and that Is the give away" kind
and II that is freely set up TO them they
will get gloriously drunk. Treating has IA
foundation on that particular leaning Of the
American character toward company We
do not like to sit alone, 70 eat alone. 90
walk alone or TO travel alone. and IL Is not
at all strange that we do not like to drink
alone. II we could establish a rule like
they have In Germany. where every man
pays for his own drinks and the offer TO
treat man IS an insult inferring as IL does
to the German mind. that there is no ina
bility to pay II would be one Of the best
things that could happen TO America.
Treating makes sOts OF men, when, # they
were permitted TO 30 their own way their
manhood would be untouched II keeps
them away from home. away from their
business. and places them under oblisa.
lions 10 others which they some times. can
not afford, and in other ways IL is an evil
whose effects are far more reaching than
any other phase OF the liquor question. /
hayenot the right to question what any
person should eat or drink. but don't
think any person has the right to practi.
cally force him into this sort Of a situation
Prohibitionists have been striking al the
root Of the evil for years. but their axe is so
dull that they don't seemingly make any
| impression upon It. There is such con
slant longing to look beyond their own regu.
| lation and interfere with others. that fail
ure is the rule with them II is with
| drinking as with everything else. Let every
person stand on his own responsibility. and
let others keep away from him. aud when
the public is educated to this point. this
thing OF "sots" and drunkenness will be a
thing Of the past There will be such a
change as Prohibitonists never wrought.
and such revolution as legislation never
contemplated. Several State legislatures
are giving their attention to anti.treatment
enactments, bnt there is no enactment or
law that can reach it with any results. II
must be done upon a strictly business
principle and education, and there is no
question in my mind but that this thing OF
treating is a greater evil than the saloon

ANOTHER MINE HORROR.
100 Families and 800 Children Are
Left Destitute.
NEARLY ONE HUNDRED BODIES ARE
Recovered and There Is No Chance FOR
the Other Imprisoned Ones.

BiRMINcHAM, Ala, Feb. 2I-Of
the 100 miners Of Virginia City,
who entered the mines yesterday
afternoon, thus far only fifty bodies
have been recovered. The recov
cry already Of fifty dead bodies,
precludes any idea that life may
still remain among the unfortunates.
With the first ominous rumble of the
coming catastrophe, by common
impulse everyone in the village
rushed 10 the mouth of the main
slope. The scenes at the mines
this af1ernoon were the most hdr-
rowing that ever have been witness.

mangled and disfgured, and identi.
icaiion IS almost impossible. Many
OF the bodies are so bruised, twisted
and discolored that negroes cannot
be told from white men.
All day long, at the mouth Of the
mine were waiting and moaning wo
men and children, whose relatives
were among the unforIunates. One
hundred families and 800 children
are left destitute and without means
of support by the calamity.
AS the bodies of the victims,
which in many cases have been
gathered together a piece a a time,
are brought to the surface, they are
placed in rows on a rough improv-
ished platform.
Late this afternoon ambulances
began the removal Of the bodies so
far recovered to Bessemer.

the local undertakers have wired to
adjoining cities for cofias, as it
was found there were not enough
suitable collins in the district to
bury the victims.
Out OF the fifty bodies recovered
one was found this afternoon about
O'Clock in which there were faint
flickering signs of life. The body
was carefully taken from the mine
and heroic methods resorted to to
bring the man to consciousness. He
is sIll alive bu, scant hope is held
out for his recovery.
