Thoroughness in Religion.

"How long halt we between two
opinions? If the Lord be God fol-
low Him; but if Baal, then follow
him." Il Kings is I'D Thor
ough," then, is the law here: Here
is a call on the whole nature to serve
God. To you Christ must be all; let
Him be supreme.
Make the best of yourself, that
you may be the better able to serve
and glorify Him. Bring to Him your
power of thought, your acuteness OF
reasoning, your wealth of magma
ton, your play of fancy, as well as
all the fervor of your soul. Jesus is
your Saviour and your God; then
follow Him with your whole soul
always, in all things, at all cost: With
both hands-that is, with all your
might; earnestly-that Is, with all
your soul, serve Him who has given
Himself for you. With the heart
believe, and with the mouth confess,
that Jesus is Saviour and Lord.-Dr.
Guinness Rogers.

for the preservation Of His " i'll
tegrity and for our own best devel.
opment it is obligatory that we serve
the Lord our God and Him only.
Then, too, it is necessary that men
shall give God the prime position in
their lives. In order to the glory OF
the Father-which is the chief end Of
man-and in order to the cultivation
of all that is noblest within them,
men must ally themselves with those
spiritual and godly elements and
ideals in life that make for the high
est and the best. No man is so we'll
rounded a man as he who measures
his life-work by spiritual and eternal
standards. The o%pportunist has no
chance in Gods Kingdom. The ca
reer that is most a blessing to the in
dividual and to mankind is the one
that is grounded in goodness and
whose works of righteousness are
the result of the inward work
ings of a holy love. The effort of
the rightly balanced man is 10 be
most of use and to have the world
mark and remember him as worth
while. The man who is most of &C
count and whose memory will be
longest cherished is that man whose
life is squared to the measure of god
illness revealed in Jesus Christ. Good
ness is necessary to a lasting success.
The man who is the best man and
whose achievement is permanent is
the man who serves God in the unity
of love.
In the last place, the fruits of such
service are satisfactory. A man may
till the soil and reap many harvests
till his barns be full, but If he have
no communion with God he will go
hungry in the after life. What to
you Is your money when God calls
you to the heavenly places? The
amount of Christian character you
possess, not the coins that crowd your
purse, will be the measure Of your
value then and there. What are your
clothes when deaths shroud encloses
you? What are you-you who have
worshiped at the altar Of your own
wisdom-when God puts you in the
balance? All these things are ad-
mittedly u%nsubstantial. But the
wealth of God endures. The Chris
tan who is clothed upon by Jesus

within the presence Of Almighty God.
The wisdom of God Is sufficient unto
the saving of the soul and lasts for
v If we would but reverse things
and make all the material elements
and all our intellectual abilities sub
servient and subsidiary and subordi-
nate to the prime work Of the spir-
itual service of Jehovah life would be
more satisfactory. He who serves
God gets money enough and eternal
life. The striver for eminence in
goodness and uprightness will be
we'll in the front of Heavens society
and will not want for recognition
among people whose approval is
worth anything-here. The deepest
knowledge and the hardest task the
mind of man can attack is to be found
in the appropriation Of the eternal
wisdom of our God. The fruits OF
G%od-serving are peace, JOY, content
ment, purity, eternal life. The prizes
of the world are fleeting. The serV-
ing of God is satisfactory. TO him
who is faithful the reward is sure.

Bishop Wilson on the Saloon.


Bishop Luther B. Wilson, in a
great address before the Northern
Minnesota Conference at Minneapo-
lis, declared:
when you issue a license you
dicker with the powers of He'll. 1t
looks like putting the morality of
the period on the bargain counter.
1t is like selling the honor Of your
body and the virtue of your girls
to the highest bidder. For $500 or
$1,000 you sell to an enemy the right
to batter down all the prosperity
built up by the tariff, and all the
advancement made through the pub
lie school.
IT was glad when they told me.
The lid is on here every Sunday.
We have a man who put it there and
has kept it there I am glad that
all the forces which stand for right
eousness have stood by him in the
primaries which are past and will
stand by him in the election which
Is to come. This means a step to-
ward the great end. But there is
more to follow. If you can put the
lid on Sunday, you can put it on
Monday. Go ahead and capture the
next entrenchment, and the next and
the next. The saloon is not the
harmless thing 1t looks to be, but
a blazing battery, firing constantly
at every constructive institution.
What we need is more iron in III
blood to press on the fight until ev-
cry stronghold is taken and the flag
of victory floats triumphant over the
citadel ITSELF"

Yield Up Yourselves.

Yield yourselves wholly up to the
thousand-fold influences which God
pours in upon you. Outward, not
inward, let your gaze be fixed-up-
on this world of beauty, upon the
claims of men, the innocency OF chill
dren, and the life of Him who loved
them. He who would try to save
his soul shall lose it: he who with
Christ will lose It,, forgetting him
self in action, his soul in his souls
work, shall save it unto life eternal.

Spotting the Invisible.

German military authorities are
experimenting with a device by which
the location of troops using smoke
less powder may be easily discovered.
By this device it is proposed to SUR
vey the landscape through pale red
glasses. The fash of smokeless pow
der appears strong in red light, while
ordinary objects are dimned. BY
furnishing field glasses with the de-
vice in question, which is provided
with screens of the proper tint, the
position Of concealed marksmen can
be detected.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

also will be found charming for the
genuine summer stuffs Of cotton,
linen and silk and cotton mixtures.
It suits the odd waist and the gown
equally well and consequently is
adapted to a great many occasions.
The waist is made with front and
backs and is cut in n with the
sleeves. Shaped trimming bands are
arranged over the neck and sleeve
edges, and there is a novel girdle
that finishes it at the waist line.

The Locket's Return.

The sentimental girl, she who is
addicted to tying her letters with
blue ribbons and ~secreting locks of
hair in her top bureau drawers, will
be glad to hear of the renaissance Of
the old-fashioned locket. This pen
dant, in submission to the style Of
twenty years ago, is either heart
shaped or oval and generally has a
small drop of gold attached, which
makes it look like our grand
mothers earrings. Best of all. it

date a cabinet photograph and a

cat the Last"

1t is right to seek the goodwill
of all men, and to desire that they
speak we'll of us, but when we lie
down to die it will be an empty pill
low If this is all that we can rest
on. When we are through with life
and all it's applause, and are await.
ing the final call, we want some
thing more substantial than a Chau-
tauaua salute. When the faces we
love grow dim to our vision. and
we are lying in the twilight OF two
worlds, there are voices we would
much rather hear than the plaudits
and the acclaim Of our countrymen,
and one of them is, well done, good
and faithful servant; enter thou in

Cuticura Drove Sores Away.

"Our little girl, one year and a half old,
was taken with eczema or that was what
the doctor said it was. We took her 10
three doctors, but by this time she was
nothing but a yellow, ~greenish sore. One
morning we discovered a little yellow PIN.
pie on one of her eyes. Doctor no. 3 said
that we had better take her to some eye
specialist, since it was an ulcer. So we
went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and he
said the eyesight was. gone. We were near
ly discouraged, but | thought we would try
the Cuticura Treatment, SO | purchased a
set of Cuticura Remedies. which cost me
81. and in three days OH daughter. who
had been sick about eight months, showed
great improvement, and in one week all
sores had disappeared. Of course it could
not restore the eyesight, but if we had used
Cuticura in time, we are confident it would
have saved the eye. Mrs. Frank Abbott,
