The Quiet Hour.
TOLL.

What are we set on earth for? Say to toll;
Nor seek to leave thy tending of the vines
For all the heat O. the day, till it declines
And Deaths mild curfew shall from work assoiI,
God did anoint thee with his odorous oil
10 wrestle-not to reign! and He assigns
All thy tears over, like pure crystallines,
For younger fellow-workers of the soil
10 wear for amulets So others shall
Take patience, labour to their heart and hand
From thy hand and thy heart and thy brave cheer
And Gods grace fructify through thee to ALL
The least flower with trimming cup may stand
And share its dew-drop with another near

PRAYER.

Almighty God We not all earthly; we
have in us some fire of the heavenly, some pres
ence of the divine. May live in the direction
of that higher consciousness, aspiring to the light
growing in grace, struggling towards God Yea
though the struggle be most vehement and some
times unequal because of the power of the enemy
and the weakness of the flesh, yet may our pur,
pose be towards heaven, and our intention be
fixed upon God. We praise Thee for as many
as have known Christ spiritually, and have been
grated into the true Vine, and have grown UP
into heaven-gone away from us for little time
but still in the Vine, and bearing fruit beyond the
line of human sight. May we grow up after them
and in Thine good time may the branches
intermingle in the heavens. Amen

FORSAKING ALL.

Answer of the Rev. R. J. Campbell in the British
Weekly:
S. B. asks: "What are we to understand by
our Lords words in Luke xiv. 3d. Whosoever he
be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath he
cannot be my disciple ?"-This saying is hyper
bolic 1t is striking utterance designed to teach
the essential meaning of spiritual life. The true
follower of Christ is one who lives the
dered life. His character, intellectual gifts, ma.
terid possessions and opportunities are to be re-
garded trust for God. All he has is to be
thought of much power to be employed in
manifesting God in the world. The Christian
feels that nothing is his own; all he is and has
comes from God, and is to be employed for God
This is the same thing to say that the ideal life
is the life that is lived in terms of the whole not
of its own selfhood. The two poles of human
activity selfshness the hand and love
on the other. He who is really living the love
life, the Christ-life, is giving the utmost for the
whole. He thus forsakes everything that would
minister to his selfshness. He may do this
without giving up single possession. Asceticism
has always tended to make the mistake of think
ing of intellectual material endowments
things to be repudiated. Jesus did not that
He meant that they were to be used not for self
but for all, to increase the total of the worlds
gadness and JOY to make more abundant life for
mankind.
KING ARTHUR TO SIR BEDIVERE
If thou shoudst never see my face again,
Fray Tor my soul. More things are wrought by
prayer
Than this world dreams Of. Wherefore let thy
voice
Rise like fountain for me night and day,
For what men better than sheep goats
That nourish a blind life within the brain,
If knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer
Both for themselves and those who call them
friend?
For so the whole round earth is every way
Bound by gold chains about the feet of God.
The heart of the world is selfish but the Chris
tan Church has no business to be self-engrossed
lnhdety is not sympathetic, but Christianity has
word to speak and touch to bring that can heal
the deepest hurt And as the thoughts of
kind are increasingly drawn out from self to ex
pend themselves upon human need, will be more
generally secured and exercised that Supremacy
useful gift
"A heart at leisure from itself
To soothe and sympathize."

Fir was Soon Over.

1880 O'Clock last Sunday morning a
small frame building on the northwest
corner of Colorado street and Seven
teenth avenue owned and erected by n.
J. Ploriue, was quickly destroyed by .
FIRE, believed to have been of inc ndiary
origin. Night Marshal! Mitci ell turned
in the alarm and went after the hose

the building or its contents. The struc-

The loss is about 500 and is rather
hard on Mr.. Florine, who has been in
i'll health for some time. The building
was to be used by him as a store room

Nearing The Vein.

During the past week several miner.
allied feeders have been encountered in
the breast of the Burns Moore tunnel,
and within the next few rounds of holes
the Silver Cliff vein is expected to be
encountered. The formation at present
is granite in which a number of vug
holes have been found. The tunnel is in
. distance Of q little over 7,3oo feet and at
the heading is q little over 700 feet be-
low the surface.
While there is no telling what values
will be encountered when the vein is in
tersected, the chances are that an i'm.
portant ore body will be disclosed, and
the feeders that have been cut during the
past week are the best indication of ore
yet disclosed since the driving Of the
tunnel was started.

Getting Ready for the Show.

The local lodge of Elks is making
preparations for a proper representation
at the meeting. of the grand lodge in
Denver during July, and as now is the
time to get busy, has appointed commit
tees who will attend to AL details in their
respective assignments. The general
committee in charge consists of J. J..
May, chairman: DIR. w. I. Cain, o. w.
Lowell, B. ]. Marathon and George L..
Hanson.
Uniforms - George Z. Hanson and
o. w. Lowell.
Band-Dr. W. T. Cain and B. j. Mar
talon.
Publicity-O. w. Lowell and J. J. May.
Gold and Silver-B. J. Marathon.
Transportation-J. J. May and o. w.
Lowell.
Mr.. Marathon, who IS in charge of the
collection of bullion for gold and silver
bricks, has been industriously soliciting
contributions and has been very success
full. In Silver Plume he has secured a
42-ounce silver brick, and the George
town donations now amount to about six
pounds. The mining men in the lower
section of the county will be given an
opportunity to add to the bricks of
bullion and a generous response is ex-
pected. The bricks will be appropriately
engraved and will be exhibited extern
sively before the meeting of the grand
lodge. They will prove to be a. most
attractive form of advertising, and will
result in much good in calling attention
to the oldest gold and silver mining dis
trict in the Centennial state.

A Boost for Local Elks.

Halsey Rhodes was up from Denver
recently, paying visit to the local lodge
of Elks. He has the following in his
Rocky Mountain Herald regarding his
visit:
Last week Tuesday-February 2o-we
visited Idaho Springs lodge No. oo7, aud
were highly entertained by seeing IS re-
cruits led down the trail and properly
branded as full hedged Elks. They
were all representative men and stood
the terrible ordeal without finch.
The officers of the lodge are perfect in
their work and discarded the books and
each one performed his part with an
earnestness that showed they we're inter
ested in the work. Exalted Ruler Sam
Brethour is making good officer and is
ably seconded by other officers.
Idaho Springs lodge is one of the most
up to date and progressive lodges in
Colorado, having $50 of the very best
people in Clear Creek county on its rolls,
and some rs or 80 more are on deck to
be shown the mysteries of the order dur.
ing the next few weeks. 1t is expected
the lodge will have larger per cent of
of members in Denver next July than
any other ledge in the state, as nearly all
OF them live near the town and will go.
Among the most enthusiastic workers
in the lodge are Bros. Joe. Boyd. R. c.
Bonney, J. J. May, Geo. Oxley, w. P.
Mccormick, Jules Huilet, M. w. Tanner,
l. D. Ellis, Geo. Straub, Will Lamb,
and others, who expect to have member
ship of not less than 775 by July next.
The city is growing at rapid rate
and is bound to be one of the most pros
porous in our state. Besides the famous
hot and cold soda springs, the mining
near the city is making it place where
people like to live. 1t is estimated that
more ore is taken out of the hills within
three miles of the springs than any
other town in northern Colorado.
The town supports two papers, two
banks, several saloons, drug stores,
clothing, grocery and hardware stores
and they all report doing good busi-
ness The one thing most needed is a
large first class hotel, which is liable to
be built this year.

Rory McGilvary, who had the contract
for driving the Central tunnel after CIV
ing due notice to the company, on Tues
day OF this week ceased operations or the
breast of the tunnel
The tunnel has been driven 4, 900 feet,
aud it is likely that the company will
drive ahead on days pay, for time at
least. Mr.. McGilvary, who is>recognized
as hard and faithful worker was unable
to make anything out of the contract
owing to the iron-clad restrictions Re.

The Central tunnel power plant is
being operated to furnish air and power
for the lateral being driven on the Shafter
vein, but as several property owners
along the hne of the tunnel contemplate
starting work soon it is not likely that
the power plant will be closed down,
