Applied Theology.

Little Willie Trundy, of S%earsport
Me-, stood at the window one day,
watching his grandfather NOW a piece
of grass near the house. After watch
ing him a few minutes, he turned to
his grandmother and asked if God was
everywhere.
YES" said she, God is everywhere

Willie pondered a moment, then
lis He out in the field where granny
is?"
Eyes, Willie, He is everywhere"
Quick as a flash came the response:
"That He'd better be careful or gram

Only Believe.

Be not downcast if difficulties sur
round you in your heavenly life. They
may be purposely placed there by God
to train and discipline you for higher
developments of faith. If he calls you
to 'toiling in rowing" it may be to
make you the better seaman, and to
lead you to a holier trust in Him who
has the vessel and it's destinies in
hand, and who, amid gathering clouds
and darkened horizon, and crested bill
lows, ever murmurs the mild rebuke
to our misgivings: "Said I not unto
thee, that if thou wouldst believe, thou
shouldst see the glory of God?"-Rev
John r. Macduff.

1t is right to make vows unto
God and there must be the sim
certify and faithfuIness which
pays the vows made.
The Psalmist over and over
again uses the phrase, at will
pay my vow unto the Lord"
There is something in the re-
ligious nature of man which
leads him to make vows to his
God.
But impulse alone must not
govern in the making of these
vows.
Je%phthah must be commended
for his recognition of the fact
that the of his campaign
depended upon the favor and
help of God.
To Jephthah must be conced-
ed a sincere spirit of devotion
and worship.
But these virtues could not
save him from the terrible mis-
takes which come from ig-
norance and superstition.
J%ephthah made the awful
bIunder of %supposing that the
favor of God could be bought.
And he made the other and
more common mistake of bring
ing God down to the level of hu-
man conceptions.
In the rash vow of Jephthah
may be traced the influence Of
the heather practices about him.
Human sacrifice was made to
the heather gods. Would he do
less in seeking the favor of the
God he worshiEed?
How little he understood
God. How imperfect was his
conception of what God required
in the way of worship and serv-
ice.
Perfect worship and perfect
service can only come from per-
feet understanding of God.
And we must not forget that
it is easier to promise than it is
to fulfill.
Jephthah under the thrill and
the enthusiasm of that forward
movement against the enemy
pledged to God that which was
not his right to give and that
which would not honor God in
the giving.
Too often is the pledge made
to God under the impulse of the
moment without due thought as
to our right to give or the will
ingness of God to receive the
gift.
But let us not confuse the
vow thus made with the one
which is made while commun-
ina with God in the mountain
top experiences where the soul
mounts the spiritual heights and
aspires after richer and better
things in the grace and f%u!lness
of Christ. There the soul may
pledge its deeper conservation,
it's fuller devotion, and then
come down to the commoner
levels of life there to pay the
vow which it has made.
But delay to make thy vow,
then haste thou to its fulfill
ment.

Back Tax Claims.

State Revenue Agent Adams has Sc
cured the assessment by the board OF
supervisors of Adams county OF back
tax claims on solvent credits against
Natchez capitalists aggregating one
hundred thousand dollars. A corps OF
five deputies is being kept constantly
employed examining the records in the
various counties, and Mr.. Adams is
giving substantial aid to the State
treasury through this channel. 1t is
roughly estimated that he now has
back tax claims pending before boards
of supervisors and in the State and
Federal courts amounting to fully a
million dollars.

body. Alarmed, she applied home
remedies, but the spots continued to
spread. The child's body presents the
appearance of being tattooed. Almost
the entire body is covered, with the
exception of the face, which thus far
has not been affected. While most Of
the time the blotches are of a mellow
purple, they occasionally change to a
deep plum color or a dull red. Some
blotches are as large as a penny, 9TH
ers are no larger than a pinhead. The
disease is probably caused by a rheu-
matte germ.

Variations of the Pulse.

The normal pulse has a wide range,
but is always faster in females than
males, and steadily declines from
birth to death. Eminent physicians
have thought it possible to tell a per-
sons sex and age from the pulse
alone. The average rate at birth is
16O beats a minute in girls and $50 in
boys; at the age Of four or five, 10
and 100; in maidens and youths, 95
and 90; in mature women and men,

Insurance Figures.

Practically every fire insurance com-
pany doing business in Mississippi lost
money during the year 1906, according
to a report just made to Commissioner
Cole. The premiums collected were
only S576, 356 more than the losses in
Cured, and this amount will not bal
ance the expenses of operation during
the year. In fact, insurance men say
that the aggregate deficit will be fully
$3.50. 900.

The weekly papers of Mississippi are
making a loyal fight for the home mer-
chant and against the mail-order
houses, publishing each week strong ar
ticles in the ready-print side of their
paper. 1t is a little discourgaging for
the editor, however, if the home mer-
chants do not give him their patronage.
If they use stationery printed by for
eign houses and do not advertise their
wares can they expect the local paper
to keep up this campaign? 1t is a gun
loaded at both ends.
