explain it in the words of a great as- tronomer Listen: Some stars are so distant that their beams may have oe cupied thousands of years in journeyng to the earth, yet these bodies, if suddenly annihilated, would still continue to shine upon us for thousands of years to come So there are great men whose existence has long since terminated, but the infu- ence of whose spirit still irradiates our world. Milton, Shakespeare and the great poets and historians and philosophers, though gone from our sphere, still shina upon 1t as stars of the first magnitude. If our light for good or evil Is to shine and continue to shine after we have gone into the eternities, how can we neglect to make that light the spiritual light 1t ought to be?
 To show the length of time the light of some of the stars would continue to shine upon the earth after the star itself was dead would quote from an address which Dr. Gill, the astronomer, delivered before the Royal institute of London few years ago. Among other things he said: ''So far as all existing researches go, Centaurl Is the nearest of the fixed stars. To get some idea of it's distance we will Imagine a railroad reaching from the earth to that luminary. Travelling at the rate of sixty miles per hour it would take 4S, ,663000 years for the train to reach this nearest starr The brain staggs un- der such computation, but 1t is one still more profound that the prophet makes when he tells us that the winner of souls shall shine forever and ever. Our lights for good or evil will shine longer than even the farthermoSt star of space whose light now touches this earth. They will shine onsand on as the winners of souls or their@evil results will continue to be felt as the destroyers of souls who will never reach heaven, because we have been false beacons to those lost ones.
 Would you not be spiritual star win ming souls for Christ? Sir David Brewster gives an account of a lost star. In the astronomical system to which our earth and sun belong. there is a certain comet which has gone astray. The astronomers can find no trace of this vagrant comet. By their mathematical calculations this comet has appeared at least thirteen times since it was lost in 1770. But amid the spiritual stars which come to God in Christ's name there shall be no lost stars. All shall shine forever and ever. Friend. would you not be one? Would you not turn many to righteousness and have their effulgence shine by your side through all the eternities. A starl A star! Thou canst be living. eternal, spiritual star. shining forever for God.

 whom MT. Barrie has chosen as his
 mouth piece for an exposition or a dream while in fairyland. Peter Pan has had the misfortune to lose his shad- ow. which has been found by Mrs. Darl- ing, and preserved at the bottom of a drawer. With the help of Tinker Bell, an elusive sprite he succeeds in recovering it, but Wendy, the little daughter of the Darlngs, who is sleeping in room with her two brothers. is awakened and draws from Peter the sad story of his wander ings.
 The three-Wendy, her two little broth ers-are persuaded to fly with Peter to the Never-Never-N Never land, where Wendy is to Mother the little boys who have been lost. Here they pass through a series of exciting adventures among the reddest of red Indians and the most bloodthirsty pirates which the juvenile mind could wish for. But through all this the truant children do not forget their home and the longing to return Is too powerful to permit of their remaining even in this region of excitement.

own room through the ever-open window, and their reception into their mothers arms is one of the most charming and touching scenes that MT. Barrie has ever given us.
 Maude Adams as Peter Pan will surely live in the memory of children young and old, for a long time to come; whilst the dog Mama, who bathes and dresses the little Darlings the wonderful fight be- tween the pirates and the Indians, the over-mastery of the pirates and the seiz- ure of their ship by Peter Pan and the lost boys; and lastly the home built in the tree tops by the fairies for Peter Pan, are spectacles of charming naivete- wonderfully effective in their appeal to the eye and to the memory of those who are still young and of those who have ever been young.

Each was able to clothe his ideas-always notably perme- ated with charity--in clear simple, logi- cal English On special occasions each rose to heights of classical expression in voicing great thoughts. One may almost conclude that Hay was the perfected type of Lincoln's cruder personality, and that as a disciple of his great leader with whom he was so closely associated in his younger formative days, he had con- sciously or unconsciously imbibed not only his masters style, but his spirit az we'll

DR. TALMAGE'S SERMON
BY TIE REV. FRANK DE WITT TALMAeE, D. D.

r os ANGELES, Cal, February H.
 Rarely has the spiritual side of as- A< tronomy been so picturesqnely pre- scented as in this sermon. which gives glimpses that afford cheer and encourage ment to those who are in danger of be- coming disheartened in the struggle of life. The text is Daniel xii, 3, As the stars forever and ever"
 Some people are spiritually farsighted. They cannot see Gods blessings near at hand. They will sing with great gusto, T want to be an angel and with the an- gels stand" but they never thank God for the present opportunities of Christian work and for the blessings of earthly Christian fellowship here and now. They are never capable of having their heart strings bind them to a mundane taber- naele as the heart of John Fawcett, au- thor of the noble hymn, "Blest be the tie that binds," and that of his dear wife, were bound to the little parsonage of Wainsgate, in Yorkshire, England Al ter young Fawcett had been a rural pas tor in this humble village few years he was called to a great metropolitan church as the successor of the famous Rev. Dr. Gill of London. It was pull pit of which any man might have been proud. The resignation was read, the farewell sermon preached, the wagons were loaded with the furniture to take the young pastor to his new field or la bor. While the goodly words were being said, Mrs Fawcett, her husband and the villagers all broke down and wept. linen Mrs. Fawcett said: "Oh, John, l cannot bear thisi 1 know not how to go! Nor I either" said her husband. and We VIII not go. The wagons shall be unloaded' and everything put in its old place So the wagons were unloaded. A letter was sent to London explaining the conditions and John Fawcett who might have De- come Dr, GllTs successor in a great met ropolitan pulpit remained in his humble rural church because of his affection Tor his people. An, ye whose hearts peat and throb to the keynote or love, can you blame him? Then he went into hls study and wrote his immortal hymh' which has done more good than all the sermons he has ever preached. Like John Fawcett are most of us. We thank God for the tender ties that bind our loving hearts to earthly friends and for the ties that bind our hearts to the oppor- tunties of gospel work this side Of the grave.

sso,OOO FIRE IN LITTLE ROCK.
Fonr-Year.0id Child Started It With
 Match.

Little Rock, April 25.-Fire which originated in barn in the rear ot the residence of c. c. Beauchaup 1919 Louisiana street, yesterday afternoon at 3:07 o'clock completely destroyed nine residences, eleven outhouses and the pavilion. box office and a large part of the fence at Glen wood park, and damaged more or less twenty six residences and ten outhouses. The estimated loss IS between S25, 900 and $50, GOO, and the insurance will amount to about half of this sum. There was an additional damage of a few hundred dollars to hous ehold goods which were hastely re- moved from houses many blocks from where the fire originated.
 The fire was started by lad four years old who was playing with matches in the Beauchamp barn. The greater part of the houses in that vicinity are frame structures and all were as dry as finder. A stiff wind was blowing from the south, and 1t not only famed the flames, but 1t lifted burned embers over large area and caused fires to spring up and destroy residences many blocks from the original fire. The most extreme jump made by the burn ing embers was 12 1-2 blocks, from Nineteenth and Louisiana streets to S14 Scott street, the residence of Arthur Jones.
 These scattering fires gave more work than the regular fire men could look after and many volunteer firemen took hold and done good work. Among their number was the Right Rev. Bishop Brown of the Episcopal diocese of Arkansas. From his residence near one house whicl caught fire he secured buckets and carried water in a manner that caused wonder among the younger volunteer. The house was saved.

AGGRAVATED CASE OF APPENDICITIS
An Operation Performed on Miss Nettie
 Salyers Yesterday Afternoon.

J~iS AGstSiudy AIIcTn00n.
 Nettie, the 16-year-old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Fred Salyers who has been confined to her bed tor the past two weeks suffer,np from an attack of appendicitis underwent an opera ton yesterd a v afternoon for the removal of a deepseated abcess of the appendix.
 The opera ton, which was a very delicate one. was performed by Dr. Samuel Ayers of Kansas City. chief surgeon of the Kansas City Southern Ky, assisted by DTS. J. K. Davis and F. K. Wat kins of this city. Tn performing this operation an incision three inches long was made in the lower part of the abdomen and an abcess was discovered which had entirely eaten away the ap pendix and which on beino opened up and drained contained very near a pint of puss.
 The conditions surrounding this particular case are of more than ordinary interest to the medical fraternity. About three years ago Miss Nettie had an attack of appendicitis from which she soon recovered. Following this came numerous other attacks of mild form, and about two weeks ago she was stricken down with an attack which proved to be very acute. One of the peculiar circumstances surrounding the case was the fact that the patient was free at all times from fever which led her physicians to be- lieve that the case was not serious one. During Dr. Ayers visit in the city he was requested by Drs. Davis and Watkins to ge and see the patient, which he did, and after making an exami- nation stated that an abcess had formed abont the appendix ana in order to save her life an opera ton would have to be performed.
 AS a last resort to save the child's life this was agreed to and Dr. Ayers at once began making preparations for the oper- ation which he performed in a most skillful and scientific man. ner.
 Today the patient is reported resting easy, her symtoms show ing slight improvement, and should no further complica tions develop the physicians have hopes of her recovery.
