w. j. Bryan filled the pulpit OF a
Methodist church at Lincoln, Neb. :,
recently. a very large crowd was In
attendance. He took up the Sermon
ON the Mount, with his text the
words: Blessed are the pure in
heart, for they shall see God" 4" He
declared his belief that religion con-
sisted more In Kindness to and consid-
Grafton for fellow men, more in char
ity for others and In personal purity
than In dogma, ceremony or creed
He depored the tendency to higher
criticism OF the Scriptures and rejec-
tion OF parts OF it because one could
not understand. He declared that he
found daily more mysteries in life
than were bound up within the COW
ers OF the Bible. He believed the
higher wisdom lay ia accepting the
good we understand, and hope for un-
derStanding later of that we don't.
He Insisted that no man could COM
mand real success In the world unless
he possessed an Ideal, nor conld he be
OF real value to the world SO long as
selfishness and low conceptions of his
duty to himself and others dominated
his life and conduct.

Doctor Dies or smnl.pox.

The Newberry Observer says DR..
Nj. q. Hendrix, the most prominent
physician Of Lexington, died on
Saturday night with smallpox. He
must have been man II rare ability,
judging from the tribute Of the local
paper, though man Of peculiar
characteristics" and OF strong pre-.
iudices." We infer from a remark
made by the town board Of health, in
the same paper, that the doctor had
not been vaccinated-thi probably
being one evidence OF his strong pre-.
judcies." The dCctor's wife AMI chill
dren also had the disease, but he was
the only member OF the faulty who
died. Mrs. Hendrix now being able
to be up and about her household
work, and other members Of the tami-
ly being successfully vacc!natsd." we
refer to this case to emphasize two
points: /. That the smallpox now
prevailing In the state Is OF virulent
and dangerous type; 2. That vaccina
tion is the only sure protection
against this most loathsone and dan.

poisoning. With him at the time was
a woman who told the )lice that her

she left Deland with Krpler two weeks

son Of a Daland physician and that he
left Florida suddenly because OF some
trouble which he got into there.
Mrs. Miller said she left her husband
to come with Kepler. She was detain-
ed by the police. In the room in which
Kepler AM the woman occupied the
police found two snall bottles. One
was filed With Morphine and the other
nearly empty contained trace of the
