Mensu Best n00u.

Slowly through the ages men have been learning until now they gladly accept the truth that in material things as we'll as in the laws of mind their best good lies in the most minute and careful obedience to Gods laws.-Rev. Dr. F. w Luce, Methodist, St. Louis.
 Hew Seals May Re Saved.
 God Is all w1ss and all loving, and he has provided that all souls which ever have or ever will exist may be saved by the following Of a proper course the course provided bY him-the living of Es%4oer life, either on this earth or in existence hereaftKx.-Rev H. L. Can field, Universalist, Belleville, o.
 Peace and Its Effect.
 A 9ood conscience and the enjoy ment of peace mean one and the same thing. All sins opposed to humility, meeknees, holy purity, temperance, dil- igence in fulfilling the duties of our state, disturb that order, and the con- sequent loss of peace brings pain in it's course.-Rev. F. J. Jackson, Roman Catholic, Atlanta, Ga.
 How a Man Should Use His Powers.
 A man has not the right to do as he pleases with his powers and posses sions, even If he does not abuse them. He must use them for others and not only for his own Improvement. They were not meant for himself alone, re- gardless of what should become of his less favored fellow men.-Rev. W. H. Nicholas, Lutheran, Allegheny, Pa.
 Tried Soul.
 However delightful is youth, and it is delightful in it's freshness and fullneSs of promise. it does not yet have the mellow glores and the refined texture of the soul which has successfully borne the heats of trial and in the soft ened peace of trustful autumn looks back to work well done.-Rev. X. M. Campbell, Presbyterian, St. Louis.
 Valuation of Man.
 \ new valuation of man has arisen from the teachings of the Bible. Man is no longer a thing The intense real ism of the age is reflected in realistic fiction and painting of modern authors and artists. It is the duty of the mod ern preacher to learn of life from life itself and know God at first hand Rev. H. H. Paine, Methodist, Worces- ter, Mass.
 Christian Fragrance.
 The Christians fragrance should be as the odor of spices that men may know that he rooted in the garden of the Lord. His branches shall spread Expansion is growth. True religion will manifest itself in the open, It leads believers to come forth and open ly profess Christ before men. His branches are acts and examples that are seen in the family, the prayer meet ing. the house Of Gol.-Rev. pr. J. I. M. Johnston, Baptist, St. Louis.

Blown to Pieces With Dynamite.

One of the most shocking tragedies
that has ever happened here occurred
last Friday morning about 10 o'clock,
at the west quarries of the Standard
Limestone Co., when two brothers
named S. T. and Morgan Breeder,
from Shenandoah City, Va, aged re-
spectively SO and 80 years, were
blown up by premature explosion of
dynamite and instantly killed. The
former, who had a wife and three
children living here, was blown liter
ally to pieces, fragments of his flesh
and clothing being scattered in every
direction, while the other man had a
portion of his head blown off.
Coroner Colston was notified and
went Immediately to the scene, where
he gathered the tacte. The two men
were in the quarry hole alone, pre-.
pairing to load blast, and by the
careless handling OF cap it was ex-
ploded, and by that means a number
of sticks of dynamite, were also ex.
ploded. No one knows exactly how
the deadly accident occurred, but it
is supposed that one of them was
smoking and that spark ignited the
cap, causing the awful calamity. The
explosion was heard by other work
men, and the bodies were seen hurled
in the air some 40 or so feet.
The coroner did not deem formal
inquest necessary, but authorized Un.
dertaker Wilen to collect the scattered
remains and prepare the bodies for
burial, as best he could. They were
taken to Shenandoah City Saturday
morning, accompanied by the we'll
nigh distracted widow and the three
children. -Berkeley Democrat.
